Dohyo Download 0132: Asabariki Has Some Problems… Boy Does He

Disguised as a human, a cyborg assassin known as a Rikishi (Genbu) travels from 2064 to 2024 to kill Asabariki. Sent to protect him is Tamanosato (sumo Mario), who divulges the coming of SimpleGyoji, an artificial intelligence system that will spark a Yokozuna holocaust. Asabariki is targeted because SimpleGyoji knows that his friends (Kaitetsu, Asanosato, and Kamahiko) will lead the fight against them. With the virtually unstoppable Genbu in hot pursuit, Asabariki and Tamanosato attempt to escape.

If you would like to be a part of Season 6 of the Champ/Chump series, please ping Genbu and let him know. You can be part of the NEXT basho. There is plenty of time to play!

Dohyo Download 0131: I Can See Your Jingle Balls

Genbu, a soldier of fortune, is hired by Road to Yokozuna to secretly rescue a group of rikishi trapped in torikumi hell. But when Genbu and his team, which includes title expert Tamanosato, banzuke specialist Asabariki, cat enthusiast Asanosato, tuba expert Chubamidori, and gyoji agent Kamahiko, land in the Dohyo Download, something is wrong. After finding a string of makekoshis, the crew discovers they are being hunted by a brutal creature with superhuman strength and the ability to disappear into its surroundings… like a kitten clawing up Genbu’s fat rolls.

If you would like to be a part of Season 6 of the Champ/Chump series, please ping Genbu and let him know. You can be part of the NEXT basho. There is plenty of time to play!

Dohyo Download 0130: And I’m Too Old to Know Any of This

The vocal stylings of Genbu, Tamanosato, Kaitetsu, Kamahiko, Asabariki, Asanosato, and Enkaga pipe up for a wide variety of topics that cover way too much to list here, honestly. I mean, who even reads this description, right? Does anyone? If YOU do, you should tag Genbu in the RTY Discord with a “Bonzai!” and he’ll keep writing these witty descriptions. Otherwise, we talked about IRL sumo rankings, the Champ/Chump series updates, everyone gets on camera (including Kamahiko!), who will win the IRL basho, Genbu’s likely outcome in the RTY basho, and whether we’re all too old for one thing or another.

If you would like to be a part of Season 6 of the Champ/Chump series, please ping Genbu and let him know. You can be part of the NEXT basho. There is plenty of time to play!

Dohyo Download 0129: The Slohyo Download

Asanosato, Tamanosato, Kamahiko, Kaitetsu, Enkaga, Asabariki, Shitayama, and Genbu (the full crew) go hog wild talking about sumo! Yes, it’s a full hour of talking sumo with points about Makushita, the Ozekis, how long will we wait for a Yokozuna, when will the banzuke drop, how close the RTY basho is to dropping (minutes after the episode ends), Asabariki chooses his Champ/Chump just in time, weather talk, kitten talk, waking up late, and even more goodness!

If you would like to be a part of Season 5 of the Champ/Chump series, please ping Genbu and let him know. You can be part of the NEXT basho. There is plenty of time to play! Even though the basho has started, we can still get you in!

Dohyo Download 0128: Three Raccoons In A Mawashi

We started late due to a new kitten (you could have met Toast live on the podcast if you joined us) and we had a grand old time talking about stuff… what stuff, you ask? Well, first, it was a crew absent of Asabariki and Enkaga due to reasons… but Asanosato, Tamanosato, Kaitetsu, Kamahiko, and Genbu talked about Genbu’s new kitten (Toast), his new cars (plural), his new iPhone 16 Pro Max, we swerved then into Ozeki Onosato, who was better than Kagayaki and who that person could potentially beat in Makuuchi, there was some Jungyo talk, some light coverage of the RtY Jungyo, travel talk, social security numbers, traveling, what’s in the chanko, and how strong the IRL Ozeki crop is compared to historical times.

If you would like to be a part of Season 5 of the Champ/Chump series, please ping Genbu and let him know. You can be part of the NEXT basho. There is plenty of time to play!

Weird Age 0002: Something Is Strange

Welcome back, strange believers! The Weird Age has returned!

Cryptids, cultists, and a possible skin walker? The happenings around Dulce are strange indeed.

Will our investigators be able to uncover the truth in Dulce?

Dohyo Download 0127: Shodai is a Turd Sandwich

This is draft day for the Champ/Chump series season 5 as Asabariki is the only one who didn’t show to make his picks! Genbu leads Kamahiko, Enkaga, Asanosato, Tamanosato, Kaitetsu, Shitayama, and Teruzake through the draft as we cover a weird array of topics in this one. Shodai being a Yokozuna? What about FC 24 (EA Sports game), NBA 2Ksomething, racing, times gone by, how well we have been doing in the past, what we are doing in the future, and we also meander a bit as we have a couple of live bouts on air!
