We're back with a lil' ol special episode of the Bad Melee Podcast recapping the Roast of Hugo Gonzalez. Each person on the cast had a very different role in the event, with everyone pressing the heads of their penises together to make a giant roast Megazord. We go through the writing process, wax philosophical on the concept of accreditation, talk about a few hiccups with the tournament, and if we really are in the era of too much Ludwig.

Welcome to the second annual post-Bigger Balcony podcast. A bit of a departure from last year as nobody almost got into a fistfight at the venue and Ludwig was not present to show his nutsack during mafia, this year's Project M tournament still left us with plenty to discuss. With several actors as Balcy the Bro Sun, PM being streamed on Twitch with seemingly no repercussions, a hentai connoisseur taking the title yet again, and our dear friend Guntherz getting cheated out of win, the illegal to...

Special circumstances have led a very sorry individual to our podcast, where he takes us through his life's journey leading him to place 5th at Summit of Power, as well as describes in great detail the story of how he was DQ'd from EVO Top 8. We finally pinpoint which Seinfeld characters each member of the podcast is, with some startling revelations about who is and isn't Newman, and talk about the mechanics and implications of the new SmUsh game. After attending E3, only one questions remains: ...

It's the final podcast of season 3, and with an uncertain future the boys spend their last hours talking about poop fetishes, the Socal arcadian, and break down the structure of memes. Later on in the night, Dawson and Anthony talk about potential future timelines as well as distinguish the line between bullying and clowning, which Dawson has been doing the former of to Anthony this whole time. Yet again, it's been a wild ride, and this time it's thanks to people who contributed their hard-earne...

In a special interim episode of the podcast, I take my happy ass down to San Diego to hang out with the discontinuity leader himself Chroma, and perhaps the only Indian Marth prodigy/stand up comedian in the world, Diya. We discuss Pat's House, Diya's contempt for kids, pooping strategies, shoe money matches, Hungrybox's decimating/heartwarming phone call to an ambitious local player, and DJDriftking97's horrid web of lies.

In a very political move, we bring on representative and captain of the Final Destination crew Vince, aka "Stanky." We cover Red Bull Smash Gods and Gatekeepers, the upcoming libel lawsuit against the SoCal Melee Facebook Page, and the now-defunct card shop where the FD crew was spawned. Stanky regales us with lore involving Slob on my Knob, jerking on haters, FD after hours, and we collectively re-live the hypest crew battle in SoCal Melee history.
