Chris Ray Gun's Boiling Ocean of Hot Takes

Chris Ray Gun’s content has evolved, but he’s closer to being himself than ever – and he’s putting in more time podcasting, streaming, and making videos than even seems possible. Now that he’s living alone, who’s going to hold the camera?

Separating where you work and where you live is complex. Is it best to have a totally different room and setup? Or can you make it work, and actually be happier, when everything you do all day is seamlessly tied together? It depends.

It turns out that Denny’s is a lot more dangerous than any of us realize, and even an assault there is preferable to an office job. Chemo in Applebee’s seems worse, but it might not compare to what a retail job does to the mind, body, and soul – and to any music you used to enjoy.

After this episode, we might need to get the Nirvana Baby as a guest. It’ll be weird to have seen a guest’s wiener before. Hasbullah would be even better.

Chris has a complicated relationship with Japan and some of his fellow anime enjoyers. Then again, people are bizarre in general, and Chris’s recent bar encounter proves it. He’d rather be in space than fly over an ocean – and it might be worth boiling the whole thing just to be safe.

Kevin brings up Chris’s proclivity toward hot takes and his apparent comfort with delivering them. How does he do it? He just puts down the phone. With so many terrible things to rip on now – Lion King, Cowboy Bebop, and all sorts of remakes – there’s a lot of heat to sling.

Patrons ask questions about how Chris might get to Japan, his differing pizza policies, his animal fantasy turducken, and some outstanding advice about confidence. This show was wild – it was a real treat for all the people who showed up for the live recording. Thanks again to the Patrons who make this show possible each and every week. You really are the best.
