I posted this to Facebook yesterday, but I'll share again here: I've gotten a lot of feedback on my topical segments the last few weeks. Some people liked them, others did not. Either way? It means you're paying attention, so thank you for that. I'll keep on keepin' on until someone says stop. So let's get to today's stuff!
Music from crimmins (4:32), a gross one-star product review (9:56), scalpers getting hosed (20:46), a new N64 console (24:28), Tyson vs Paul (28:29), a Flyers Update from The Captain (37:39), and fan mail on how we got here (41:38).

Many thanks to our old friend for his new tune! Find more from him here and tell him Pat said hello (he'll actually be happy about that)!
One-star review: Game bugs
I feel so bad for the person who bought the infested console. No one should have to deal with that. Also I misspoke: this was not my local GameStop, but it was the next-closest one to where I used to live. Either way, how do you not realize your box is infested?
Gaming news: PS5 Pro, N64
PS5 Pro scalpers have more supply than demand and I love that for them. Don't be a scumbag: let players buy consoles at stores. Gaming should be for everyone and you're ruining it, so eat shit with your extras that you have to sell at MSRP. And there will be a new N64 in the house next year, so let's get together and have a couch co-op night! I'll bring pizza!
Tyson vs Paul
This wasn't on the original cue cards, but I remembered it during recording. I watched this spectacle live. The tech issues were plentiful and some fight moments were not great, but the middle of the card was awesome. And it was nice to see a glimmer of old-school Tyson in the first two rounds of the main. I think if the fight was six rounds instead of eight, everyone would be a little less disappointed. But if you went in thinking Tyson would knock out Paul? You were always going to be upset. It's all good - everyone gets worked once in a while. Maybe next time Tyson should strike a deal with Amazon so we can actually watch (butt cheeks not required - but also maybe?).
Flyers
Captain, you did it again. I don't know how you stay so positive with the way this team plays, but we all appreciate it! UUUPPDAAATTEEEEE!
Mail: How did we get here?
Thanks for the question, Sam! Sorry it took me so long to answer, but this is a pretty nuanced topic with some different answers. But yeah: the rise of cable news, No Child Left Behind, and Elon Musk buying Twitter all contributed I think. Add to that some people's outright refusal to accept new information and well, that's why things are the way they are. It's messy and it will take work, but we have to get out of it at some point (don't we?).
🥊
And that, as we say, is that! Thanks for joining me once again! Next week the show will be out on Thursday (Thanksgiving in the US) instead of Saturday. So listen to me before the football starts and the tryptophan kicks in. Until then, don't do anything I wouldn't do!
Crap open a cold one!
