I had a pretty good pun in the pre-roll section about "falling in love with the pharma deeters" and I want to claim retrospective credit for it but I'm not gonna bother explaining it. Just know that there was gold in those hills.

Don't know if this has always been the case, but I just noticed that these are available in Spotify. Look forward to listening to these.

Also after sort of bemoaning during this recording that Blaseball was back but not really like BACK back, it turns out that as of an hour ago or so BLASEBALL IS BACK at my beloved Charleston Shoe Thieves are up 1-0 for the season, from which by process of induction we can conclude that they will win the season undefeated.

I think only jessamyn can be a my-fite, the rest of us are our-fites.

BTW, if you want the amateur weirdness in Ninja Warrior, look up original Japanese Ninja Warrior. There's so many guys in wacky costumes that do not make it past the first jump-and-catch-a-rope obstacle, and yet they are applaudable.

And Fortnite, schornite. Epic is forgiven for all sins thanks to their release of ZZT.
