Guys, welcome into the Kinda Funny Gamescast. It's all of us back in the lab once again. We are nearing Kinda Funny Top 100 I know it's been a fun week, a pretty wild week, I will say, of content inside the lab.

Blessing Adeoye Jr. (2:07)

No comment.

Mike Mahardy (2:08)

Yeah, we've gone off the rails. Blessing's let it out, you know, we've got a good time. And we're back again today. You know what?

Blessing Adeoye Jr. (2:16)

Shout out to the Kinda Funny Facebook community.

You know what? Shout out to the Kinda Funny Facebook community. I'm on there all the time, they don't know that I be lurking. Do you? I mean, yeah, I lurk, cause I always accidentally press Facebook. Cause I set it as my homepage maybe a decade and a half ago, and I never switched to my homepage for my Chrome. So the first thing I see whenever I open up Chrome is Facebook and I'm like, I don't wanna be here.

Mike Mahardy (2:39)

Shout out to the 8,600 members over on the Kinda Funny Facebook page.

Blessing Adeoye Jr. (2:43)

But then I see the page, cause it's always on my homepage, so my home screen is the Kinda Funny post. And let me tell you, they're so peaceful. Now granted, they don't really talk about us that much.

Mike Mahardy (2:52)

Well, let's give some love right now. DealDayVic was the most recent post two days ago, spent their 50th birthday out in Japan. Happy birthday, my friend.

Andy Cortez (3:02)

That's beautiful.

Blessing Adeoye Jr. (3:02)

That's awesome.

Mike Mahardy (3:03)

I hope you had a great time, dude.

Blessing Adeoye Jr. (3:05)

I'm positive. I think most of the Facebook group probably forgot Kinda Funny actually exists.

Andy Cortez (3:09)

Yeah, I mean, they just talk games.

Blessing Adeoye Jr. (3:10)

They're just there hanging out, having a good time, and I respect that.

Mike Mahardy (3:13)

You know, I got Facebook recently because I'm doing something on Facebook Marketplace.

SPEAKER_1 (3:18)

One of you can't hear about it. Are you buying another sign?

Mike Mahardy (3:20)

You know who you are.
