On the way to daycare my son was singing along to K-Pop Demon Hunters and replacing every word with ‘Raichu’.

It was cute for the first minute… Nothing has made me doubt my choice of fandom more than the continuing 11 minutes.

Rejoined my old gym for the month since its too cold to lift in my barn. Two guys who remembered me from FIVE YEARS AGO saw me and were like excited dogs. They kept wanting me to look at all the new equipment and were so openly sweet. Its good to see other buff boys be openly pure and wholesome.

How are these two photos taken a week apart? Cold weather is sapping me of vitality and turning me into a scarf magnet.

Friendly reminder from our friend Boots Riley…

I'm not proud, I know it makes me a shill to capitalism... I will approach these dumb plastic figures with tears in my eyes and a religious ecstasy, no matter the cost.

Upon the heap of bad decisions culture has served up in the last few years, I take special exception against changing the of the word ‘goon’. Goons are weird little guys with tons of POS energy who work for ‘da boss’ who are dispatched with ease. There are many dumb hills to die on. This is mine.

Two random people today used the phrase ‘Awesome-sauce’ on me and I felt like that one scene in Captain America where they were trying to trick him into thinking it was the 1940s, but for a post-9/11 2000s chat room.

The first few weeks of an algorithm trying to figure you out is so funny. Ours decided we live and breathe TRANS GAMERS and FOOTBALL. Protect trans folks, always, but my brother, we are predominantly concerned with pokemon. Its in the name.

Maybe it thinks we’re a Republican Senator? Go… sports?

We make cute chocolate pokemon molds when we’re together. We use cheap chocolate. We don’t properly clean the molds. We get tummy hurt. Our teeth ache. We are old. We get VERY sick the next day. This benefits no one, and we are bad at it.

We haven't posted in a year because who the hell wants to be plugged into the world when the world looks like this? BUT we've realized the more we focus on this podcast, the happier we are. We made 52 episodes WE NEVER BOTHERED POSTING HERE. Can you believe one of us works in marketing? Yikes.

FFXIV soundtracks will transport you with the most beautiful and stirring arrangements, so immersive, like you could reach out and touch a moment in the game… and then hit you with the ugliest, poorly mixed synth-metal with the fartiest guitar and cringiest vocals you’ll ever hear. :,D

If you wanna be angry with friends, enjoy us being the maddest we’ve ever been at this stupid metal ant.

@koleross.bsky.social a month back you mentioned trying out FFXIV. Are you still getting on with it? As a Dragoon guy myself, I was keen to see if you hit the more explicit Dragoon content in the Heavensward expansion.

Tom from Pokedextrous here! We’re gonna post some silly episodes the next couple of weeks to introduce ourselves and maybe distract from Hellworld for a while! Nice to meet you!

We made the moral sacrifice to leave twitter, even if that meant losing our dozens of porn bot follows. If you want to reward our brave stance, or just want to listen to two people who love each other a lot joke about pokemon, we’d love to have you.
