What's up everyone, welcome to the 200th and first Uno episode of the Pokemon Podcast.

Super effective. My name is SBJ and with me today I have will super tired will. Yeah, we're doing you super sleepy coming off a almost two hour episode from last week our live anniversary show.

So hopefully you guys caught and or enjoyed that but but not both. I guess and or implies you could either catch it and enjoy it or catch it or enjoy it. There you go. Yes.

I should apologize in advance of the audio. If the audio sounds differently. We had to install some new audio software to make it work with Twitch last week and I just ran some updates on the current audio software.

So it sounds a little weird to me but in my test recordings that sounded normal so well, I'm well, let's just find out and I'll farts with it for next week. We're just doing a smaller episode for you guys just make sure you get your fourth episode for January and yeah, we had a launching our third century here.

We we had a lot of fun. I think we had fun last week right? Well, you have fun. I mean, it depends on how you define fun. It was a diversion sitting in front of a camera for two hours. Yeah, having people comment about how old I am now you I like to people say that.

Yeah, there was a four. You 100% more than you just said that's okay. All right. We have like what about 60 to 80 people fluctuate in and out. I wanted to get my gun, but he's busy with work. But he was moderating the chat and doing a very good job of it. But hey, wait, we had a nice turnout for our first time on Twitch and I think it's something we want to do again.

It's something the people in the Twitch chat wanted to do again. And I know a lot of people I did a poll afterwards of how many enjoyed the show and how many missed it. And it was like 75% of people said they couldn't actually make the show. So obviously there's a lot more people that could have been watching if if we were to do it in the future. Obviously different times Sunday.

There's a horrible rumor going around that if the Patreon makes more money that we have to do a weekly stream or something like that. Yeah, horrifying. Yeah. So let's just get the Patreon stuff. By the way, if you obviously if you're a new listener, ignore this, but if you're an older, well, I have your new listener, you can, you can keep listening. But

we do a Patreon over at patreon.com slash it's super effective. And if you care to throw a dollar a month, our way you get access to our Slack community. And if you give us $4 a month, which is $1 per episode, you get access to our gold channel, which

Gold channel is so good. It's gold. It's gold. So $4 a month gets you access to gold exclusive channel in Slack, which is it's it's been fun. It's a smaller. It's like, I think only like 18 or 20 people. It's a lot smaller than the main channels, which is over 100 people at this point. But

Yeah, the channel enables you to make fun of the people in the other channels. No, no, that doesn't happen.

Well, you don't know though, because you're not gold. Well, the listener maybe not be gold. We're both gold obviously.

I remember a little side story. We I installed this cat facts bot so every 24 hours, it would deliver a fact about cats automatically into the Slack channel. And if you hit it, you could you could bring it up your sub by hitting slash cat facts. And it would provide you a

cat fact. If you needed it in that moment. And it was probably only active for a day or two, but I was like, well, I don't have any this was right one gold. The gold channel first got created. I was like, I don't have any benefits. And no one's really using cat facts. So I'm going to move cat facts into the gold channel as a gold number benefit. And boy, the Slack community really ride it at the people have to have their their dubious cat facts. That's right.

Well, it is a gold perk or cold members. Yeah, it's there.

Wilhouse your weekend before we got one, two, three, four, five, about seven news articles to run down. But before we Pokemon news articles, but before we do that, Wilhouse your weekend. Yeah, why would we talk about Pokemon? We can't

We're not allowed to we're obligated by the Pokemon company now to talk about Pokemon for the first 10 minutes. So what's the run down of the weekend? We had Iron banner. The IB.

So Iron, Iron banner to get through. I watched a lot of new heart, which I enjoy watching that old sitcom gem from the 80s and finished a crochet project.

And then last night you and I played PlayStation together where we basically didn't talk to each other and played two completely different games. But we were connected through the headset.

I think you and I did that for about three or four hours. Yep.

Set about five words. I listened to you watch YouTube videos. Well, it was it was mostly you being upset about your Iron,
