    Darling and Balloo are back to continue through Gen III (apologies but looks like the starters ep is lost to the aether). We're starting off with Mon Mom and then off to discuss Poochyena, Zigzagoon, and Wurmple lines today.

    Balloo & Darling are back, joined once more by Steph Metzger, bringing her PhD in Dairy Science to talk Miltank, Elekid, Magby, Smoochum, and Blissey.

After a technical issue with our originally planned episode, we're doing a special adventure with a drunk Darling and stoned Balloo recounting what they recall from what shall forever be known as the Mon Men Lost Episode. We're hazily recalling our conversations and still veering off on wild tangents about Delibird, Mantine, Houndour, Houndoom, Kingdra, and Skarmory.
