Born in the Eighties 518: 2025 - The Year of Luigi

That muscular cat can sure cook up some good grub.  Pass me the bespoke tartar sauce that got the rave reviews online, I am nearly finished with my final fantasy 6 playthrough and I need some energy after spending all night browsing reddit and trying and failing to buy a GPU.   Episode title image remixed from Photo by Nadin Sh: https://www.pexels.com/photo/fish-and-sauce-11513615/

Yeah, that little thing is pretty important.  So, don't drink too much Nuka Victory Cola from your giant theater soda cup.  Your Pancreas will thank you.

Man, according to that guy on youtube that has a really slick goatee, I need to have my gamer card revoked due to my infection with the woke mind virus.  Sheesh.  I thought I was a real gamer, but I guess not.  Wokesters like us cannot be true gamers, even if we put over 50 hours a week into Morrowind.

Nintendo was wrong, 2025 is going to be the year of Luigi for sure.  TJ is ill and missing, presumed possibly dead.  We chat about Superman, comic book movies in general, Jon learning Japanese, and we dredge through some really yucky AITA posts from reddit dot com.

Boy, can you tell what week this episode was recorded?  Man, nothing bad at all happened to anyone or the world that week at all.  I know we record these in advance, but man has it been a while...  I guess Jon has a pretty good excuse. 

Oh snap, we saw a big red one this year.  SOS, amirite? IYKYK.  Man, this was way too long right?  Needed a script edit.  At least we get to see sexy JK Simmons crawl around like a little mink.  And look at Lil' Rock, he is totes adorbs.

Jon brings fanciful stories and treats from the fabled city of NYC. Note: Nobody Hangs Bag in this one.   Episode Artwork remixed from photo by Stephanie Ho: https://www.pexels.com/photo/black-tote-bag-1214212/

What a nice flavor, to have on the back end.  You like My Hero Academia?  We talk about it a bunch in this one.  Man, those kids (not you Mineta) are the best right?

Jon continues having his mid-life crisis talking about the wonderful time he had back in college.  Except when he went to parties and there were high-schoolers there.. ew...  Also, just so you know, anyone can buy that mug, it means nothing unless you EARN it.

I'm gonna be honest about this one. Jon is definitely having a mid-life crisis right?  Talking about college while his friends from college have kids moving into their college dorms.  Life comes at you fast.   Episode Title Image adapted from Photo by Rachel Claire from Pexels: https://www.pexels.com/photo/men-holding-crayfish-5864756/
