  • The Bridge Bike Gang
    Jun 27 2024

    Our trio is out of the woods and back in the land of concrete and deep dish cheese pizzas! Tasked with delivering medicine for a sick Pokémon in Sunny Town, Ash, Misty, and Brock ride across the 10 mile bridge using bikes provided by Nurse Joy. During their ride, they are stopped not only by a bicycle gang who demand a battle in exchange for crossing, but also by a unicycling Team Rocket! Will Ash be able to deliver the medicine in time? Will Brock get a date? Who are Big Jess and Little Jim- and what keeps their hair so bouncy?

    In this episode we discuss the significance of the Golem in Hebrew mythology, the pitfalls of herd mentality and how to avoid them, and the resilience of recycled glass!
