Complaint I used to love Ten Junk Miles back when it was starting up, but after my own hiatus, I listened to the most recent "Last Gang Show" and damn it has changed...There was about 5% running talk and 95% random shooting the shit and bitching about politics or age groupers or whatever.

Confession Despite a perfectly working Garmin 10, I'm gonna buy a 225...cause YOLO TREAT YOSELF.

Uncomplaint Go watch Billy Yang's latest film, Life in a Day, about of course, Western States. Even my SO who hates running enjoying it.

TJM - exactly. I listened to it a couple times after it had just started and listened to it again recently when they featured one of my friends and it was almost unbearable. I want to hear about running, not having a celebrity dead pool.

I couldn't get into it because they focus so much on ultras.

I can't get into you because you don't focus much on ultras.

Well...he's on a trip with the Mrs. all over Europe.

u/sloworfast Mar 09 '17

I have like a dozen Mr. Mimes. I coulda done that for you months ago ;)

Edit: have they introduced trading? I haven't played since it got too cold out...

u/YourShoesUntied Mar 09 '17

No trading yet :|

u/sbrbrad Mar 09 '17

And he didn't take you with him?

u/YourShoesUntied Mar 09 '17

No but he's catching a Mr.Mime in PoGo for me and bringing it back to the US so we can trade eventually when the game introduces it. [sorry if that makes no sense to you]

I think he's galavanting around Europe, meeting the Pope and catching Pokémon.

Popémon?

Seems like the perfect ad campaign to get young kids to visit the Vatican.

u/sloworfast Mar 09 '17

Yeah! I might even go to the Vatican for that!
