I canβt speak for all but, for me, it is not annoying at all to hear any of you look things up, during the podcast. Commenting on pics perks my ear and makes me want to look it up myself. π

Yeah I saw that after I posted this. I think I went to listen to Punching Up right in the middle of them switching everything over.

My wife (not a gamer) put over 1000 hours of animal crossing new horizons. Still blows me away.
Robbie Agnew
FFX card game? Lol what?
Tanner Denso
Had no idea his name is Henry. Seen those movies plenty of time as well.

I had a Pit-boss for 4 years and it worked great. Used it at least 3-5 times a month. I cleaned it regularly and emptied the grease trap. Unfortunately it caught on fire when I tried to set it to 500 degrees when I was trying to crisp my ribs and get that nice bbq bark on it. I normally throw the ribs on my regular two burner propane Weber at the end, but it was out of propane this time so I thought oh Iβll just turn the smoker up to the highest setting it can go. I had never used the smoker for anything higher than 300 degrees at this point.I think what happened is even though I cleaned it regularly and emptied the grease trap, I did not account for the grease caked on the side walls and around down below the bottom grate that separates the pellet chamber and the main part of the smoker and it got so hot that the grease ignited and soon the whole inside of the smoker was engulfed in flames. Thank god my wife and I were able to put it out by unplugging the power chord and opening the door to the smoker and just let the grease burn off. It was some scary shit. Only the smoker and the dinner for that night were ruined and I realize my errors in hindsight. My family was safe and so was our home. Iβm currently looking at newer models of Pit-boss smoker because Iβm definitely gonna get a new one. I will never use it at a temp higher that 300-350 though. Thereβs not a lot that you smoke those high of temps anyways. This happened back in November and I miss my smoked meats!

If you think Tyson is bad about shrinkflation, at Frito-Lay weβre shrinking the bags AND raising the price.

If it makes you feel any better it's how I found out too π

Thanks to Micah for the KCD2 lockpicking tip!

Gene loves it. Heβs been hated on a lot lately for no reason so heβs in his βbitter much?β Phase of LSM. π

Fuckkkkk snapping here in Canada at you being able to preorder the FF MTG Commander decks and having no idea what youβre buying and dedicated MTG player here in Canada dying for the chance to get these sets. π

Thanks for reading my comment, I haven't paid too much attention to the PalWorld situation, but I imagine it's pretty complicated to an outside observer. Also, fun fact, I graduated from Michigan Law a few years after Hoeg. Go Blue!
Child Aloy
Gene with the absolutely based and absolutely accurate opinion that Sonic racing games are better than Mario Kart.
Mama Micah
I just canβt believe this is how I found out. :-O -Micah
Zac
I'm with Micah; the fact that Indiana Jones' actual name is Henry is absolutely outrageous
Uvula Smack
I just started listening a couple weeks ago, does Gene ever sound like he wants to be there? lol

Is there currently an issue with the Spotify feed? All that shows up is the most recent episode of Sacred Symbols from Friday.

Too bad, no love for Nintendo!
