On the evening of Saturday, March 9, 2024, we kept up our usual weekly tradition of streaming Mario Kart… except this time we had something important on our mind that we needed to talk about.

You’ll see and hear us working out our feelings and thoughts on the passing of Akira Toriyama, just mere days after learning the terrible news. It’s a bit of decompression and group therapy all at the same time.

There’s a bit of humor (some of it even quite dark at times!), there’s some friendly razzing, and there’s a lot of genuine love and appreciation, particularly as the night goes on later and later and we start to come to grips with the reality of things.

It’s a really weird format. Totally. Yes, there will absolutely be a “real” podcast in the future. In the meantime, this is just the beginning of us working through the grief and feelings and how to approach it “more formally” going forward. Sit back, hang out, and soak in the conversation.

Thank you, Toriyama!
