Today's episode is a fun little thing where we're dropping Patrick and Ream's appearances on PLAYABLABLE CHARACTERS, a wonderful podcast where our friend's Calvin Cato and McGuinness interview characters from the world of video games. Each week we are joined by a legend in the video game industry to talk to them about their life and what’s going on. It's so good.
Listen to Playable Characters here!
Patrick's Episode 104 - Spyro The Dragon
Ream's Episode 152 - Pimple The Battletoad
We're rerunning this episode because cops are beating people all over the country (including on our own streets) and neither of us really felt too funny.
Please enjoy and be safe.

Read and educate yourself with these anti-racism resources. These links aren't intended for some dumb racist to read and be like "oh dang, I was wrong, we're all equal". They are meant for non-racist people who consider themselves "allies" to read and further educate themselves on how they can help and things they may not be aware of or think about. Take the hard truths and learn from them. Nothing is easy and nothing is simple.

If you're in NYC, make the calls to Repeal 50-a. 50-a allows the police to hide misconduct from the public, impedes racial justice, and enables wrongful conviction in New York. Sign up and make 4 calls. It's very easy to do. They walk you through it all.

Donate to bail funds. This is a no-brainer. You can break the money up and give it to different communities. Even if you can only give like $10.

If you are at protesting, please be safe. Wear a mask, be mindful of social distancing (as best you can) and never let the cops out of your sight. Keep your phone charged and know where you are and how to exit at all time. And before you share/post a photo from a protest. Whether it's one you took yourself or one you saw online. Ask yourself "can you see protesters faces in it"? "Will sharing it potentially make it easier for retaliation against them"? If so, please don't share it.
The Oregon Trail is a computer game or whatever the fuck.

Do not worry, Ben is still alive and well! We're not rerunning his episode because he died or got cancelled or something.
We're rerunning this episode because it's one of our favorites from 2018 and Ben was a fantastic guest and also because cops are beating people all over the country (including on our own streets) and neither of us really felt too funny. Please enjoy and be safe.
