We're launching a ONE PIECE CARD GAME Official Pop-Up Shop & Gashapon Bandai Official Shop at the Jungle Jim's Eastgate location and our director of development, Phill Adams is here to tell us all about it along with the mastermind behind this (and one of our store's buyers), Martha. We get to learn about the exclusive stuff they're bringing to the store as well as seeing the 300 Gashapon machines they're bringing into Jungle Jim's! The card game shop is open from August 1st to August 11th, and the Gashapon machines will be in store from August 1st to September 30th! Get in and get some when you have the chance!

Great-ish news everyone, only about 4 more weeks of recovery for me. I assure you, i'm losing my mind. This week on the show, we're talking about some new samples that just arrived from Levity Cannabis spirits. Levity has a whole line of pre-made cannabis (Delta 9) cocktails, as well as actual cannabis spirits like a play on whiskey, tequila, and more. I also received the new high dose, 25mg can of Orange Soda from Coastalo, which also uses Delta 9. Coastalo is from the brains of Urban Artifact, known for their Midwest Fruit Tart beers. Pretty excited to try all of these. Then we dive into Pickle Day at Urban Artifact, a collab between them and us here at Jungle Jim's. I sat in a motorized wheelchair and it was one of my first times out in public. Huge thanks to Devin and Scott at Urban Artifact for literally carrying me out of my house. Congrats to the winner of the pickle eating competition that you're about to enjoy now!

Day 298 of being trapped in my house! I went full YouTuber on this episode. In my time out of the office, I've been setting up for remote interviews - but I was bummed that I missed out on so many fans coming through the store this summer. One listener reached out and we'd planned to do this episode together in the studio, but unfortunately it wasn't meant to be. I gave Kevin some Cincinnati favorites, and he brought me a bunch of St. Louis favorites! Even cooler is now you can get some of these items, like Fitz's Root Beer and other sodas; hopefully i'll get these chips in at least! I tried a classic ooey gooey butter cake, Imo's Pizza, Louisa's Toasted Ravioli, Old Vienna's Red Hot Riplets. Kevin reviewed Glier's Goetta for us on the show, and we sent him some Cincinnati chili brands, buckeyes, and Grippos - what do you think we should've made him try?
