What's up everyone, welcome to the 211st episode of the Pokemon Podcast.

It's super effective. I am your host, SPJ. And what a week it's been such a week that we're recording on a Friday night, mostly because Travis is not able to record this weekend and Travis is here.

That's true. I'm starting to worry about myself, Steve, because this running joke of correcting myself on the show about 10 minutes after I make the mistake after I look something up on Bulbapedia has gone a little too far and I'll explain why I got a notification on our Slack channel today, the Slack channel that Patreon patrons have access to.

From one of our patrons saying, hey, look at my competitive team and see if you have any suggestions. And I was like, oh, yeah, I'll look at that tonight and shout out to Joe. I won't give out his last name in case he doesn't want it. But shout out to Joe on our Patreon chat, our Slack chat. I was like, yeah, look at this later tonight. And then he said, Travis, are you responding to my message about my son team that I sent like three months ago?

And it turns out that yes, I was because he sent that November, but I swear I just got the Slack notification. I will say though I've seen your little bubble lit up on Slack a lot more this past week. That's true. I don't know if it's because you finally have indulged yourself words because of all the E3 news has brought you there.

It took me a while for it to become just one of those tabs that I have open. Okay. It took a while to cement itself in the canon of tabs that I always have open a lot of a tweet back on Facebook and sure sort of thing.

All right. Well, we have will here who is probably more active on Slack than I am.

Probably yeah, because I do you guys stay on Slack to avoid my job, which makes me miserable. So it's like your job. My job. Okay.

But I'm really concerned and disturbed because now from what I've just heard, I think Travis is trying to steal my BFF Joe.

Or do we only have one Joe from Slack?

We only have one Joe on Slack who does competitive battling.

Well, here's the thing. I'm clearly not doing a good job of it.

Given that it takes me three months to respond when he sends me a message. So like, I'm not, I'm not don't worry. I am no threat. I promise.

Here's the here's the real thing. You don't know what Joe is into. And those like replies. That's what he's into.

I respect you keeping character though Travis outside of it. I see an inside of I see.

It's I can't I can't be anything but me.

Can't be anything but me.

This is a Pokemon podcast, but we we don't like to talk about Pokemon for the first couple minutes. So instead,

Will how was your week? How was your E3 week?

Well, I mean, I've had very little E3 because I have a job and all of those tree houses of terror were like during work hours. So

which is the best place to watch and ignore work.

Well, except that I share an office with another person who is not supportive of a 43 year old man playing video games. So
