Welcome to another episode of Kataku Split Screen. It is May 5th, 2016. I am your host, Jason Schreier. Kirk is not here because he's decided to bail on Kotaku and me for the next month, like the bailing person he is.

But I am joined by someone maybe better, maybe worse.

I don't know. I'm not going to cast any judgments. That's not what we're here to do.

He is best known as the greatest Mario Maker player on Earth.

Accurate. Defeater of the evil Dan Reichert.

Accurate. Patrick Klebek is here.

I'm here. The podcast B team is here. I'm happy to join you, Jason.

Yeah, the backup. You just came off the bench. You might win six men in a year if you perform well enough.

I'm crossing my fingers.

No, it's fun.

Yeah.

I guess, yeah, it's been a while since I was on...

Actually, it was like right after the podcast started, right?

Like two or three episodes in?

Yeah, you came to talk about Mario Maker.

We had a whole episode about Mario Maker.

And I'm still playing Mario Maker.

Do you want to, so real quick, before we get into the meat of things, do you want to give everyone an update on your adventures with Dan Reichert, your rivalry, where it's what happened last in it?

Yeah, so probably since last in the podcast,

it was in the midst of the rivalry and then things, the trilogy of levels concluded on New Year's Eve, which resulted as, because I lost, I had to have my facial hair, the one thing that

allowed me to not get ID checked at every place I go to in

life, shaved off by a person of his choosing, which turned out to be a WWE wrestler Xavier
