The Sickos identify another real life Devil Fruit that causes people to form psychosexual religious obsessions with The Rules, a framework of systems they believe to be divine, inviolate, and infallible, even as it's clear to all that you can just do whatever. Then, we return to the Fruit Annihilation Tournament to close out Da Boys region. Follow Anime Sickos @AnimeSickos Follow Joe @ShariaUncle Folow Tom @TomHarrison19

For years, games criticism has been lambasted as a wasteland with no structure or discipline, little more than a PR arm of the studios.

The Sickos eulogize The Venture Bros, a cartoon that released 4.7 episodes a year for 17 years. The Venture Bros was a miracle show that all the rules of capitalism hell dictate should not exist, and we extol how amazing and important it was. Then on Cog Talk, we talk about how all good bosses are ultimately powerless to stop the awful shit tide that will inevitably drown all workers.

The Sickos diagnose the civilian equivalent to Media Brain, "Poster's Ear," a loss of equilibrium caused by too much posting, causing people to share takes about what kinds of movies girls like for the 1000th time even as society collapses around us. Then, we decide Round 1 of the Big Fruits region of the Fruit Annihilation Tournament! Follow the Sickos on Twitter @AnimeSickos Follow Joe @ShariaUncle Follow Tom @TomHarrison19

The sickos heartily recommend the bleak and crushing manga of Tatsuki Fujimoto, one of the most unique and freshest talents in the business.

The Sickos mourn how the devastating explosion that hit Beirut appears to have been the natural result of extremely common boss behavior that will keep happening until society collapses.

Mega sicko Devon Price kicks off the promo tour for their upcoming book Laziness Does Not Exist by going Guesto Mode, much to the consternation of their agent and publisher!

The Sickos reflect on board games, a hobby that's impossible to do but also tricked them into spending hundreds of dollars anyway. Then, Cog Talk discusses the "skills gap," the fun way companies blame the bad economy on the proletariat deciding to be too stupid to live, and NPR is like, that sounds right!
