There’s currently much to be concerned about in this country and the worst being that I got a booty call notification from Domino’s Pizza at 11:02am

Thank you for making Minnesota not feel alone right now.

Since MinnMax is a Minneapolis-based outlet, we unpack how the city is feeling in this public episode of Bonus Pod. youtu.be/OY6ZPb2NHO8

A few years back I played “The Last Guardian” for the first time and fell in love with it and recorded one of my favorite co-op episodes ever with two fantastic people: @courtenberry.bsky.social and @jacobgeller.com.

Take a listen if you too love this game!

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis.

A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times."

Bovino was there.

www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
Emily Heller lives near 33rd and Portland and said she woke up to a commotion outside her home. She said she saw a car blocking traffic on Portland Avenue that appeared to be part of a protest against federal law enforcement operations. Heller said she heard ICE agents telling the driver, a woman, to “get out of here.” “She was trying to turn around, and the ICE agent was in front of her car, and he pulled out a gun and put it right in — like, his midriff was on her bumper — and he reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times,” Heller said. Heller said it appeared the woman then accelerated and traveled about 100 feet before striking a utility pole and some other vehicles. She could be seen slumped over inside her car.

On the final day of 2025, here’s a list of the video games that I completed this year! There are plenty more that I had a thorough experience with but didn’t finish (like Blue Prince and Metroid Prime 2) that are not listed.

*denotes a first time finish.

Oh no. I got a PSP for Christmas so I’m re-listening to Into the Aether’s giant episode from this summer all about the Sony PSP.

It’s a must listen for PSP heads!

Benoit Blanc after the 2025 Pop-Tarts Bowl:

“The Strawberry Pop-Tart proclaimed to welcome death by toaster yet left Cherry and Oreo to be toasted without him.

Now why is that?”
