Just your boys Kevin and Grant on this one, as we throw back a little bit to "season one" of Thought Cops, and record in our brand new "studio"! Make sure you "check" this one out!

No guests, no masters. Just hosts, and riffs.
Grant moved, so we record in his new apartment. Exciting! We talk about Trump's mugshot (he slays tbh), Mario loses his voice, and people are still upset about masks and vaccines suddenly?
Oh, and we complain about several customer service experiences we have had recently because we are old now.

Max Field (SBN3) returns to the show to talk about his latest video game: Class of '09: The Re-Up!
Field Notes
https://youtu.be/es7ynqOh_JY
We dive really deep into a whole shit ton of topics on this episode, starting with Max's new game "Class of '09: The Re-Up", which turns the entire visual novel genre on its head. From there we get into what makes something nostalgic versus irrelevant, how to get a job as a voice actor, and most importantly: is anime bad??
All that and a hell of a lot more on this one. Don't miss it!

We get "interested" in the magical world of sports betting this week with longtime friend and recurring guest on the show Asterios Kokkinos of The Loudest Podcast!
Field Notes
Asterios makes his "season 2" debut in this episode, so we finally give him a backstory and find out just what makes him tick, I guess.
We debate whether or not TikTok is completely overwhelming in a good way or bad way, anime-themed dispensaries, and discuss the dichotomy between blue checkmarks on twitter versus other platforms. We also listen to some listener voicemails, and lots more!

We took a break, but we're back! Some said episode 299 might be our last, but don't shoot the messenger. Persian or Greek, nobody threatens a messenger. They called us mad for coming back, but we have a couple choice words for them:
Field Notes
Yes, it's the year of our M'lort 2023 and we're still doing "This Is Sparta" jokes. So what, I still Rickroll people too. We're still streets ahead of Elon Musk, who is about to find out what vaporwave is in the next couple weeks. Now all we need is to ruin a very popular website and we'll have made it.
Thank you for the continued support for these past 300 episodes. We also have a bonus episode coming down the pipeline within the next day or so, so keep an eye out. In the meantime, enjoy our 300th episode, we talk about some of our plans moving forward and answer some voicemails!

Mark Roebuck of Hard Drive fame joins us for another episode of Thought Cops to promote an upcoming article, as well as his new podcast, 50 Percent Fresh.
Field Notes
We spend basically the whole episode talking about N64 games, so you don't have to listen to us bitch about what Elon Musk did to Twitter this week. Thank god! Make sure to follow Hard Drive for when the N64 games article gets released.
We're also going on a brief hiatus to work on some behind the scenes stuff, so make sure to check out our most recent Bonus Episode and to stay up to date with us on either Patreon or Discord. See you soon for episode 300!

Field Notes
Check out Ian Erickson's Mind Palace in Chicago! Thursday, April 20th 2023 at 9pm.

Kevin gets harassed for voting, Ian tells a story about being robbed, and Grant is in the corner with a single unlit cigarette.

Goo goo ga ga-- just kidding around. Brandon Kirkman of Podzooky is back on the show this week.
Field Notes
What's it like to be a podcaster AND a dad?? Brandon Kirkman answers that question and many more. "Weird Comments" has a theme song now, and we try to figure out what the hell are "reddit movies" as we discuss the backlash to the Oscars this year. We also try to find out what is woke, and Jordan Peterson is getting... milked? It's more likely than you think!
