Had something for this but I forgot it

Can I go on @onepiecepodcast.com, this is my audition tape, put me and Marquez on the show, I think that would pop big time

great day to join ”the cult of jimble” tier on the anime sickos patreon. it’s just the normal tier that’s available to you. probably should go take a look for yourself.

Going into the lab to create the ultimate promo post that will multiply our Patreon income by 5x. I think the base will be that I say "Anime Sickos Podcast," people like that

Fuck now I HAVE to catch up on onepiece

I ask all One Piece freaks to listen

This one admittedly doesn't really have much appeal to non-OP fans, but man oh man it was one of my all-time favorites to record. Marquez and I could have made this one ten hours. One Piece is the best. I love my friend "Luffy Da Monkey"

OUT NOW: It's been four years since we covered One Piece, and a lot of crazy shit has happened since then. Tom and guest co-Sicko @marquez.bsky.social discuss da best comic book ever made, with full spoilers up to the current chapter. This one is for the One Piece heads.

Anime Sickos Podcast ahead of the curve as always

Anime Sickos Podcast

Discussing "da big topics" with @edzitron.com. Check out da full episode if you want, it's on the place podcasts are. If you don't like my editing I will go insane and cry so don't tell me

OUT NOW: On our Patreon-exclusive music show Tom's Record Club, me and @veryimportant.lawyer yapped about Stereolab's Dots and Loops. This shit is most tranquil and has basically every hyperinfluential indie musician/producer of the 90s involved somehow. So much marimba and organ...it owns...

OUT NOW: @edzitron.com goes guesto mode! You'll never believe this: Ed thinks this whole "AI" thing is a bit of an oversell. We chat about how the whole industry makes zero financial sense, the psychosexual politics of a world made up of living cars, and Ed's very passionate opinions about Jojo's.

Something we've been very clear about on Anime Sickos is that complaining kicks ass, and few people complain with as much frequency or verve as Ed Zitron. It makes you go insane when your country puts all its chips into stupid chatbots that suck ass. You don't have to take it! You can complain!!!

Before hosting this show Josh Watkins was like "oh I'm nervous, oh I never did it before, oh am I gonna do a good job." If you saw this show and I told you "he has been hosting shows for 25 years" you would a) believe me immediately and b) go "25 years? huh, he looks good for his age"

We are the greatest minds of our generation imo

Talking with Minovsky is one of the more emotionally restorative things a person can do. It was so much fun to get into Tatami Galaxy with him. The awful world wants us stuck in our 4.5 tatami rooms folks. Don't let them do it! Opportunity is dangling right in front of your eyes!

My piece at this show (starts at 1:16:49) is probably one of the best performances I've done. Incredibly proud of this piece and so thankful for an audience that was willing to play along. Goddamn what a great show. Genius Night forever

The rose-colored online life is paved with the pillars of modern misery. Let's talk anime and then break out of our 4.5 tatami rooms for a little while.

One of my all-time favorites!

The first episode is free on YouTube. If our discussion intrigues you at all, I really really recommend checking this out. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kq7O...

OUT NOW: @minovskyarticle.bsky.social returns as guest co-sicko to talk about perhaps the best anime ever made: The Tatami Galaxy. This is an anime that feels like a novel, that revels in the richness of language, that understands the abyss of anxiety, and that will make you a genius to watch.

My piece went over better than I could have ever imagined. What a great show, every one of the performers absolutely slayed. This video is for da ages...

Yesterday's edition of Genius Night absolutely ruled. House: packed. Lineup: stacked. Vibes: perfect. Laughs: plentiful. If you're sad you missed it, don't worry. We got da full video on Youtube. Check it out!!!

My piece for this is the dumbest shit I ever wrote. There are so many little jokes woven into the very logistics of its construction and performance that likely no one will notice but me. I don't think there's been a piece I am more excited to do. God it's stupid...please come see it TONIGHT!

What are the odds that this is the promo post that convinces someone to go to Genius Night? Well in case you are that guy: come to this show at Cafe Mustache at 7pm tonight! It will be so funny!! And free! The lineup is outta dis world!!! Come out and become a genius with us!

Please come to Genius Night! I am not performing at this one (I didn't perform at the last one either) but I will be "performing" my big booming laugh from one of the seats in the audience at this one.

If you aren't sure if you want to come to Genius Night tomorrow, I present to you this recording of the first Genius Night last month which will serve as evidence of its greatness and excellence. Basically you gotta go. Go!!! Tomorrow at 7 at Cafe Mustache!!

TOMORROW: Genius Night is the comedy show that makes you a genius. Sicko fans got to be coming to this. We got Josh hosting, me (Tom), @sadieposting.bsky.social, Lynda Cortez, @bosh.worstpossible.world, @dono.bsky.social, and @kirkmanbrandon.bsky.social filling in for Joe. BE THERE!! IT'S FREE!!

If you are a podcast-liking freak you already know that @bosh.worstpossible.world and @dono.bsky.social are some of the best in the game. But did you also know you can see them do a live comedy bracket debate THIS MONDAY, IN CHICAGO, FOR FREE? You can! They will solve Climate Change forever

i'm really excited to annoy a whole bunch of people all at once talking about this album, normally I can only annoy a person or two at a time, three tops

You think you love music, but if you aren't subbed to da Anime Sickos Patreon then you aren't listening to Tom's Record Club. Check out the record of the moment, join the discord to discuss it, then listen to the record club ep. Great value for just $500 a month. Wait, it's just $5? Woo wee!

I forgot to promote our Patreon-exclusive show Tom's Record Club which is hilarious since it is ostensibly the reason you would subscribe to our Patreon. Anyway last time we went nuts over the great KNOWER FOREVER by KNOWER, a jazz funk banger of huge proportions.

MONDAY, MONDAY, MONDAY!

Do you love @veryimportant.lawyer's funny "everyone is 12" post? Well check out our great guest episode with him. It is not like that post AT ALL! We talk about fuckin vinyl records and shit

Sicko fans simply have to come to this. one week away folks. Monday Oct 20. It’s gonna rule

People got too nuts about the difficulty discourse and sparked a backlash of people going "uh the runback to Last Judge is not hard. You don't have to fight anything and it's only 30 seconds." Listen ass hole: are you insane. Thirty fucking seconds? That's OK to you?? Have you no self-respect? jesus

OUT NOW: @shariauncle.bsky.social returns as we review Silksong perfectly. A lot of folks are getting heated with wild takes about this game and letting the facts get muddled. Not us: we review the game objectively, via the perfect method: ranking its mechanics on a tier list.

In our defense we have always been very up front that Sicko Shock 2 will make you cry, and the reason is it's one of the best and most relevant pieces of fiction made in this decade

If you wanna get emails about when Genius Night is you can join our "email list." I do not wish to pay a company so the list is just a bunch of email addresses that I have saved locally to a spreadsheet on my computer that I paste into bcc lol. Anyway link's here:

Two weeks until da next Genius Night. This one is simply nutty, you will go nuts off of this. We got Josh hosting. Tom and Joe from @animesickos.bsky.social. @bosh.worstpossible.world from @worstpossible.world. @sadieposting.bsky.social. Lynda Cortez. @dono.bsky.social. Kevin with "da news quiz"...

Hey do you like @bosh.worstpossible.world from @worstpossible.world and @illconceivedpodcast.com? Do you want to see him do live comedy in Chicago in two weeks? Perhaps a stupid live bracket with @dono.bsky.social from Radio Free Tote Bag? Then you must go to GENIUS NIGHT Mon Oct 20 or I'll die

Anime Sickos is unlikely to ever do "live shows" since I don't think the format works in that setting. "Ohhh but I want to see Tom and Joe be funny live!" Well I never said you couldn't do that. Come to GENIUS NIGHT in Chicago on Monday Oct 20 and you will see both of us going nutty on stage

We have now watched this in our home! It’s very good! You gotta watch Genius Night!

you gotta watch this shit, it will make you SO smart. thank you everyone who was there who gave me a good grade!

"I gotta have more Genius Night!!" Then mark your calendars now for Monday October 20th. We got an insane lineup of killers on this one. Like holy shit folks

Tom: "Are you ready to laugh?" Crowd: *enthusiastic shouts of "YES"* Tom: "Hell yeah, I'd be fucking ruined if you said no." Not even 60 seconds in and they got me
