The Grit City crew is back, and things get weird. Again.

This week, Jeff, Scott, Mike, and C-Note catch up on everything from breakfast at Top Gun in Puyallup to hiking Mount Rainier, running marathons (or avoiding them), and the latest Grit City Comic Show.

Mike shares his comic-con adventures, including catching up with local creators, meeting author Ben Thompson, and discussing the show's decision to keep AI-generated artwork off the vendor floor.

Then Halloween enters the conversation, complete with questionable costumes, trick-or-treating strategies, and enough candy to cause a neighborhood crisis.

Somehow, the guys move from anime recommendations and Tacoma Stars soccer to The Matrix, digital immortality, artificial intelligence, and the horrifying possibility that humans are just meat puppets for machines.

Throw in intelligent fungi, zombie video games, and the usual completely unnecessary rabbit holes, and you've got another beautifully unhinged episode of Saturday Night Grit.

It's Tacoma. It's nerd culture. It's existential dread with dick jokes.

Just another night on the Grit City Podcast.
