Show notes - Episode 254: Make Space for the Kraken

Morning, friends!

I hope this sounds better for you than it does in my head. The good news is my new curtains came yesterday so I may be able to fix some of that for next week. Is this relevant for anyone besides me? Probably not, but no one reads this. Anyway, I found the hamster picture so here we go!

Pat rambles on flipping the studio (2:28), Mom’s visit (6:48), enjoying Twitch (8:28), and bringing back MySpace (15:32). Plus new music from The Ones You Forgot (29:11), returning sports (34:15), and more!

Flipping the studio

I really thought I would like having the studio turned the other way, but it turns out I do not at all. This is what it looks like now, but I can't wait to be back to normal. Someone come fix the stuff!

Mom visits

Mom dropped by for a chat which was great because sometimes we all need some in-person interaction. Also she brought pretzel logs and pumpkin spice roll from the Amish market so everyone won that day.

All in on Twitch

Did not think I would be having this much fun while people watched me be awful at video games, but 2020 has been quite a time for us all. Let me know what games you'd like to see me play!

Bring back MySpace

I know I've talked about the bulletin feature before, but this week I'm all about bringing the whole damn show back.

The Ones You Forgot

Thanks to our pals, The Ones You Forgot, for their latest tune! Get it on bandcamp and don't forget to check out their Twitch stream on Monday at 8PM ET!

Sports!

I love that baseball is back, no matter how long it lasts. It is weird that 16 teams will make the playoffs, though. But that gives the Phillies a chance maybe! I'm looking forward to the stretch runs of the NBA and NHL next week. Do you think they'll let the Kraken play? Also Mike Tyson! Sports!

Final thought

When you have to meet via Zoom to debate about opening schools in a month, that should tell you all you need to know. Don't open schools yet, it's absolutely not the right time. And if your school is doing online learning like they should right now? You should not be paying the full tuition.

And there it is, pals - we made it! Thanks for coming to the table. Join me on Twitch at noon ET today (it will be later probably because the repair guy is here) for some South Park, and tomorrow for more Guacamelee 2. Until next time, don't do anything I wouldn't do!

Crap open a cold one!
