Dohyo Download 0117: Bert With An E, Not A U

The gang was almost all here as Genbu, Kamahiko, Asabariki, Tamanosato, and Enkaga got talking about whatever they could talk about. The RTY Banzuke dropped but we hardly touched it with such topics as French politics (or maybe that was just the pre-show), sharks vs. electrocutions, how Genbu is better than Enkaga, live bouts with Enkaga and Genbu, we lament that the IRL banzuke is hours away, we reminisce about RTY of before, and it’s Champ/Chump Season 4 time… so draft time is right around the corner!

If you would like to be a part of Season 4 of the Champ/Chump series, please ping Genbu and let him know. We have done a live draft the previous two times but we are investigating trying a non-live draft for season 4, so if you wanted to play this is the time to get in on that. Let him know and we’ll see what we have got!

Dohyo Download 0116: I Have to Send Some Flowers to Myself

Genbu is joined by Kamahiko, Asabariki, Tamanosato, Enkaga, Shitayama, and briefly by Midorisetchi to discuss the RTY basho finale, the Champ/Chump Season 3 finale standings, who will end up where come next basho, we look over the all time win/loss leaderboards to see where old versions of us ranked compared to the current crop of everyone, Rosu Shield tracking gets talked about, and we have an elongated discussion about Ichinojo claiming he was in John Wick Chapter 4. We can find no evidence he was but come and listen in!

Made By Tricia Plays MK1 on Twitch

My wife Tricia has also been playing a lot of Mortal Kombat 1 on Twitch and she could use some people following her, watching, and it would be great if her Twitch channel could be something bigger than it is… so, how about you come on over and give it a chance? Go here!

Emerald Specter Plays MK1 on Twitch

Dohyo Download 0115: Under the Blanket

Genbu (COVID infected but almost out of it) returns to join Kamahiko, Kaitetsu, Tamanosato, Kunousagi, and Enkaga for a round up of random sumo news! New stables, new prospects, and apparently some new phrases as Tamanosato utters the title of this podcast. We talk about the Champ/Chump series as we live update the spreadsheet and learn that the loser of the group isn’t who we initially think the loser of the group is (spoiler alert, it’s NOT Enkaga). Mortal Kombat Twitch Drops are mentioned as this is the weekend for them watching Netherrealm’s Twitch Channel, Asabariki is traveling, and the basho is almost over! Join the fun!

Dohyo Download 0114: It Hates You, Like Everybody Does

Kamahiko, Asabariki, Tamanosato, Enkaga, Shitayama, Aoiyamayama, Yoshinochin, and Takaryu are on for the first time in a while to discuss Kagayaki, some live bouts, what is going on in general, Onosato, general sumo topics, and what has been going on with whatever is going on! Short description? Yeah, there is too much to name here! Tamanosato has a swearing problem!

Dohyo Download 0113: I Don’t Like Onosato, I Think

Kaitetsu, Kamahiko, Tamanosato, Asabariki, Shitayama, Kamamidori, and Genbu break down day 1 of the May Tournament in IRL basho talk as we discuss Makuuchi, the san’yaku, some Juryo goings on, a little Makushita, what our feelings on the performances were, punchable faces, Tamanosato’s strange dislike of cheese, Kagayaki’s current status, the various states of the Waka brothers, and a whole lot more. There is even a bit of a stunning bit of news by Genbu as the show was wrapping up that should excite and entertain (as the other hosts definitely almost wet themselves with excitement at hearing it)… that starts at 1:09.43, if you skip our lovely banter. Shame.

Dohyo Download 0112: He’s Going to Take It Whole

Kamahiko, Kaitetsu, Asabariki, Terukaze, Tamanosato, and the gloriously bald Genbu decided it’s time to hold the S3 Champ/Chump draft (since no one contacted me about the non-live draft possibility this time)… Enkaga comes in late and chooses his rookie season options at the very end, too. The gang talks about both Banzukes (IRL and RTY), with Genbu doing a “pronounce the banzuke” to the delight of Kamahiko! The group also talks about who is where IRL and what the upcoming basho looks like with how everyone is situated. We almost have a consensus this time who will take the Yusho! Almost.

Dohyo Download 0111: Akamidori

No Kaitetsu or Tamanosato as they travel on their extravagant yacht to glorious places like Malta, Venice, and Bermuda playing soccer/football on their full sized pitch. Yes, a yacht with a full sized pitch. In the meantime, Asabariki and Kamahiko take the lead on interviewing former Ozeki Akamidori about their career, their heya, Kumamidori’s future, and some stories of their times. Genbu and Chubanoumi do pass in and out a bit (Genbu isn’t 100% again, he’s old and that’s life) as Shitayama sits on and listens. It is a grand old time!

If you would like to be a part of Season 3 of the Champ/Chump series, please ping Genbu and let him know. We have done a live draft the previous two times but we are investigating trying a non-live draft for season 3, so if you wanted to play this is the time to get in on that. Let him know and we’ll see what we have got!
