Sometimes we do podcasts about our hobbies. Sometimes we do podcasts about pop culture. Sometimes we do podcasts about current events. Sometimes we do podcasts because we need to work through some stuff, and that's what we're doing today. So sit back, relax, and help us answer the age old question: "What simulator game should we make next?"

Matt's working through some stuff. Andrew's also working through some stuff. Conversely, Kyle is here to tell you about a sale!

At the center of the universe, lives the Void. The Void is unchanging, unthinking, and unfeeling. The Void does not know pain, it does not know sadness. The Void does not comprehend hope, or love. It does not grieve what was lost, and it does not dream of the future. The Void is pink, it is friendly, it is Kirby!

Join us as we break down 50 or so years of lore about the friendliest Nintendo character ever created. Whether you know Kirby from Dream Land or from Super Smash Bros, in the next two hours you'll hear more about Kirby than you even knew was possible.

Hey there listener, it's me, the Show Notes. It's been a while since I checked in with you. How are you? How's your family? Anyway, this is a really weird episode. If it's not for you, that's ok! If it is for you, that's ok too! This week, we're determining which non-MCU movie featuring Robert Downey Jr. adapted into a set of a Magic The Gathering cards. Yes, that's really it.

Todd broke the glass that was only there in case of emergencies. Andrew watched a movie that literally no one else has ever seen. Kyle makes us reflect on 2008, something that no one asked for.

It's a year that's divisible by four and here in America, that means two things. 1.) We're going absolutely feral over sports you've never heard of. And 2.) There's a presidential election. Now depsite the name of this podcast, we don't do a lot of political debating here. Well listener, that changes today. This week we're trying to decide "Which video game character should be the next POTUS?"

Todd suggests we elect our first feline president. Andrew suggests we elect our first demigod president. Matt suggests we elect our first mayoral president.

If you've been within earshot of a cable television in the last 25 years, you've probably heard a promo for one of CBS's reality shows. Since the turn of the new millennium, Survivor, Big Brother and The Amazing Race have maintained a stranglehold over pop culture. But where did these shows come from? And why have viewing audiences kept up with these shows for a quarter century? Turns out it all ties back to the Netherlands and/or the event that made Ford discontinue the Bronco.

Episode 150!! Can you believe it?? We sure can't!! To celebrate this momentus occasion, we present an episode focused on the only significant use of the number 150, Pokemon. Longtime listeners may be familiar with our previous attempts to create themed Pokemon gyms and that's ok because this time is different. This time, we're asking "What Disney Channel Original Movie character would make the best Pokemon Gym Leader?"

Kyle's suggestion will ring a bell to those keeping up with our Hot Girl of the 21st Century Summer on Patreon. Todd's talking about a movie he's definitely watched before. Matt makes questionable statements about sushi.

Did you know, at the time of this episode's release, we're about half way through the 2024 Esports World Cup? Did you know that Super Smash Bros Ultimate won't be included in the 2024 Esports World Cup? Did you know that you didn't need to know either of those things to listen to this podcast? Cool. Just making sure. Now that we've taken a long walk down a short pier, here's the question: Who is the best TV personality to add to Super Smash Brothers?

Todd is suggesting a professional wrestler that you can't see. Andrew is suggesting a martial artist that will keal. And Kyle is absent this week so we invited long-time friend of the show Tom Zalatnai who is suggesting a frosted-tip mayor.

In 2012 MMO giant NCSoft and developer ArenaNet released Guild Wars 2, a massively-multiplayer online role playing game (MMORPG). Among a veritable ocean of same-y WoW clones, Guild Wars 2 was able to stand the test of time, and while others went F2P or outright went down, Guild Wars 2 still boasts a reliable and dedicated player base today.

Shoutout to fellow guildie "Zach" for commissioning this month's exploration into this and other MMORPGs! For more info on how you can commission your own FLAVOR TEXT, visit patreon.com/debatethiscast.

Happy July everyone! The sun is shining, the tank is clean, and it's officially backyard barbeque season! Now we've hosted a few BBQs at DT!HQ, and every year the guest list seems to expand. This year, we've offered everyone a +1, as long as that +1 goes explicitly to a comic book villain. That leaves us with only one question, "What super villain would make the best cookout guest?"

The "Silly Sixties" are on everyone's mind this week as Andrew introduces us all to the sandiest man. Kyle and his guest are bringing the "chill, rich guy vibes" to the party. Matt and his guest will make sure everyone has a gallon baggie to eat their meat from.
