This episode the boys team up with George Collins a comedian by night, and citizen by day. He runs his own podcast called The WHOMST Podcast. We talk about what was the best about 2020 (yeah I know...) and what was the worst (it's all perspective). We discuss how our mental health was effected by this year. The recent boxing match with one of the Paul brothers and the possibility of Mayweather stepping up for a follow up. Kunaal apparently had a hidden Mike Tyson impression and George and Lance try

Kunaal interviews (our first celebrity!) Nimesh Patel, an East Coast comedian. Nimesh co-created Zooidiots, a hilarious animated show about what happens to a zoo after the human caretakers mysteriously disappear. It is a passion project that he and his co-creator Mookie Thompson have done with other comedian collogues. He voices a Siberian tiger --Fang Diesel. It's fuckin hilarious, and has too many one-liners. Meryl Streep, Kill Bill, 2020's idiocy and and much more is referenced. Go watch it! We

Lance and Kunaal talk to Grain4Grain Co-founder and engineer Yoni Medhin. It is a company that is able to make flour from the leftover of barley from the brewers. This flour is unique since it contains no carbohydrates but is full of protein and fiber. This interview we discuss Yoni's journey from birth to Grain4Grain and definitely share experiences as an immigrant, person of color with him. Don't worry there is most definitely some nerdy portions and honestly was one of the most fun and honest

King Kunaal The Improviser

2020/09/28

Lance interviews Kunaal on his improvisational comedy years. This was memorable interview for Kunaal, since it brings up many memories both good and bad, that were formative for him in his ("eh kinda funny") comedy skills. There is a significant moment in the interview that we kept, wherein Kunaal pulls his shields down and truly becomes a bit more vulnerable and speaks volumes to what his experience with improv was for him both in college and afterwards. (Lance is a good interviewer!) Kunaal tells

This episode the Hobby Guys talk about a graphic novel "The Court of Owls" after the announcement of Gotham Knights which has a quiet reference to the novel in its trailer. We summarize it, discuss our favorite parts and compare it to the animated Batman vs Robin movie that came out in 2015. Kunaal points out some systemic racism and eerie similarities to our life. Lance shares his distaste for MaTi the oddest planeteer in the Captain Planet show. Most importantly we pay our respects to Chadwick

This episode we have some flashbacks from 15 years ago about Ninja Warrior and more since G4 has teased its return. In preparing for this episode we could not neglect addressing the social progress movements that took place this summer, largely due to the murder of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery. It directly mirrors what is going on in our topic for this episode, the graphic novel "Civil War" (Marvel Comic). In this episode we flesh out the comic and how it relates with today. We

2020/07/07

This episode Lance finds a list of the fights from the CW show Arrow and chooses his favorite scenes. Kunaal has had some martial arts background and breaks it down for the crowd. Blankets were involved. Forgot to say that Caity Lotz (Sarah Lance) is a badass actress and stunt performer. Also a correction: 'umbrella' technique is not a 'redondo.' Credit must be given to my friend Alejandro Campos for introducing me to the show Arrow, gracias amigo :) --- Support this podcast:

Our first recording (that was successful). May 15th, it was quarantine, it was rough. I was able to sit down and do a video chat with Lance "The Assassin" Jordan to take a break from the world and talk about happier nostalgic times. For us it was the Toonami broadcast. In this episode we talk about Dragon Ball Z and its overall effect on subsequent anime. (As well as an impromptu intro on OnePunchMan lol) I sound a bit echo-like because I was new to the format, thank you to AmithaAudio for being a
