This week we’re all about those night-time raptors that’s right it’s Bubo and Noctowel. We talk about true owls, bay owls, apple pie owls, stinky owls and not even rowlet. Explore with us the unique verb ‘to baust’ and this episode’s unofficial sponsor is the word generic. We talk about generic titles, generic answers and generic mall names. Find out in our mid-podcast quiz how to abort a god-fetus.

This week we talk about Galarian poor-man’s Skarmory, Corviknight. We talk a lot about corvids. Too much perhaps. Then we have not one but two That Guy’s A Mastermind Quizzes, quasi-legal hooky Zelda Ship of Harkinian and finish on Lady Gaga’s favourite Pokémon.

This week the maniacs discuss in brief Nidoran♂ and the rest of the Nido line and Richie’s That Guy’s A Mastermind topic is 1995’s Discworld. We end up talking about Carry On films, Peter Cook on Have I Got News For You, hooky whelks from the Barras, asexual Nidoran coming to generation 10 Pokemon games and forays into domestic terrorism and DC comics, maybe.

Listen gang every season has to have one, this is a terrible episode… just skip it, Bellsprout just didn’t gel with us , Richie brings legal troubles to the podcast and we do an awful bit about Mickey Mouse at the end.

It’s That Guy’s A Maniac Looking Back, Looking Forward episode.
