Yo, what's up? Welcome to KindOfFunny Games Daily for Monday, August 3rd, 2026 I'm one of your hosts, Blessing Adeoye Jr. Joining me is little Croy Poppy. Tim, my boy, Gettys, that Portillo plush.

**Tim Gettys** (0:49)
So many years in the making it is finally here. Yeah, I am so excited. It's adorable. Oh, I love it so much.

**Blessing Adeoye Jr.** (0:55)
I hope we never stop Portillo merch.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:57)
No, Portillo is eternal.

**Tim Gettys** (0:59)
Yeah, that little motherfucker, he will. I'm going to use the word haunt. He will haunt us.

**Blessing Adeoye Jr.** (1:05)
Yeah, I got haunt usually as a negative connotation.

**Tim Gettys** (1:08)
Usually, it usually does. OK, well, you know, nine out of ten times, it's a good thing. But there is that one that was always that one. When you look at him wrong and he pees, you're like, why are you doing that?

**Blessing Adeoye Jr.** (1:18)
Yeah, I didn't get much of Portillo because of the pandemic. Yeah.

**Tim Gettys** (1:22)
Yeah, you were robbed. I was raided.

**Blessing Adeoye Jr.** (1:23)
I was robbed, but I do get a lot of mintship. Yeah. Very happy.

**Tim Gettys** (1:26)
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

**Blessing Adeoye Jr.** (1:27)
Mintship brightens up my day whenever he's around.

**Tim Gettys** (1:28)
It is funny because it's like the two of them, Cole and Chip. Like, there's weird person. It's kind of like, did you watch Death Note?

**Blessing Adeoye Jr.** (1:36)
Yeah, I loved it.

**Tim Gettys** (1:37)
You know how there was L and it was bellow and near?

**Blessing Adeoye Jr.** (1:42)
Like after L?

**SPEAKER_3** (1:43)
Yes. Yeah.

**Tim Gettys** (1:44)
That's kind of what this is. Portillo is L.

**Blessing Adeoye Jr.** (1:47)
Okay.

**Tim Gettys** (1:48)
You know what? Actually, actually, Chip are bellow and near.

**Blessing Adeoye Jr.** (1:51)
Yeah, but they're not. I feel like because I would argue Death Note could have ended with L.

**Tim Gettys** (1:56)
I think everyone could argue that.

**Blessing Adeoye Jr.** (1:58)
But like, I don't feel that way about Mint and Cole. Maybe Cole.

**Tim Gettys** (2:01)
But like the thing about Death Note, it's not that it's horrible. It's just not near as good.

**Blessing Adeoye Jr.** (2:05)
Sure. So like, I don't know, man. Mintchip is up there for me.
If I'm ranking Greg Miller's dogs. Yeah, I know it might be a hot take. Mintchip number one right now for me.

**Tim Gettys** (2:13)
I mean, because he's small and floppy.

**Blessing Adeoye Jr.** (2:16)
He's so loving.

**Tim Gettys** (2:16)
I knew Portillo too long. That's the problem.

**Blessing Adeoye Jr.** (2:19)
I understand that.

**Tim Gettys** (2:20)
And I love the do guys as well, obviously.

**Blessing Adeoye Jr.** (2:22)
Even when I saw Portillo, I was like, if I touch you, you might die.

**Tim Gettys** (2:25)
Yeah. But also when you met Portillo, he was more robot than man.

**Blessing Adeoye Jr.** (2:30)
Yeah. Oh, 100%.

**Tim Gettys** (2:32)
So like, he was deceivingly sturdy.

**Blessing Adeoye Jr.** (2:34)
Yeah. But like now I see Mintchip and I go for a pet and sometimes we'll roll over and he's like in my stomach.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:40)
And I'm like, yeah, I'll pet your stomach.

**Tim Gettys** (2:41)
Ten different ways.

**Blessing Adeoye Jr.** (2:42)
Yeah, I love so much. And then there's Cole. Remember, if you're watching live, you can beat him. Because he knows what he does.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:50)
He knows what he does. He knows what he does.

**Blessing Adeoye Jr.** (2:52)
If I look at him wrong, he starts barking at me, admitting he's there because he wants to show off. It was like back in the day, back in the day, I'd be hanging out with the friend crew. And like, you know, sometimes there'd be some girls over where we'd be playing FIFA and I'd score a goal. And I might act different when I score a goal and the girls are around. You know what I mean?

**Tim Gettys** (3:08)
There's nothing cooler.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:10)
You know, there's nothing cooler.

**Blessing Adeoye Jr.** (3:12)
I scored a goal in FIFA and, you know, the baddies are around. It's like I might show out a little bit.
