Dohyo Download 0070: Tamanosato and a Step Ladder

This is the Official Podcast of the Road to Yokozuna Discord game at https://discord.gg/Z4xdG5fy6s . If you aren’t playing, why not? This is the best sumo game around! We have a great community and we’re always ready to welcome an enthusiastic new player! Join us!

DJ (Genbu) is joined by Asabariki, Tamanosato, Shitoyama, Enkaga, Hikosaru, Yoshinochin, and Fudosanoyama have a great time discussing the Road to Yokozuna in general, from signing up to the new basho all the way through who will beat Ookumizu (our Yokozuna). Genbu predicts no kinboshi for Ookumizu… Great times were had and we even discuss a little bit about the IRL sumo coming up as Genbu missed the deadline for Guess the Banzuke this time.
