    Chapter 174: Route 66

    Mechazawa is the fifth and final member of the Pootan friends where he is "A normal human!" He also has a niece named Mechazawa Beta. He has no realm in particular, though he seems to have a "docking station" between Freddie Land and Gori Land. Mechazawa is also the final of Eiji Nonaka's original creations after he goes through the other main characters like Maeda, Freddie, Gori, and Takenouchi. Mechazawa is portrayed as being intelligent, clear-spoken, well-educated with a clear attitude that often teaches lessons to his friends. Like an older brother, he knows how to solve problems that arise. When trouble arises with his friends, he is always there to teach them a lesson and be nice. This human is also filled with many wonders and mundane powers, being able to hum music from his speakers. Mechazawa is no stranger to learning how to drive as a motorcycle, using his special skin to bring knives out of existence, transporting living things, and stretching his arms super long to grab things from afar. Mechazawa can even skateboard too. He's the school's keytarist, which fits him well with the keytar (a guitar and a piano mix). His hobbies are driving as a motorcycle, beating punks, playing his keytar, and stretching his arms. Support the network at exportaud.io!

    Chapters 172 & 173: Calling All Destroyers & Bad Medicine

    Listen and learn as Yamaguchi Noboru, aka Ajishio Taro, interviews the best and brightest people in PP&A globally, to discuss what PP&A looks like Today and help shape what it should look like Tomorrow. My name is Yamaguchi Noboru (AKA Ajishio Taro), and I am excited that you have come to my website to learn more about PP&A. I am a Comedy Professional with 12+ years of write-in jokes and PP&A experience. I Earned a bachelor's from PYU, an MBA specializing in manzai, and a Master of Setup and Punchline Management from Destrade High School. I have worked in several industries, including the Japanese government, travel services, stand-up, automotive, Cyber Security, Ecomedy, and more. Possess a strong background in comedy criticism, punchline forecasting, sketch comedy planning, hand modeling, rapport building, and comedy duo partnering. Recently launched my own business called The PP&A Guy providing PP&A podcasting services for small and midsized anime fanbases, PP&A Training, and PP&A content creation (Webinars, blogs, sponsored Skeets) I reside in the Tokyo Metropolitan area with my comedy rival. I love growing my hair out, cafés, and ventroloquism and am very active on radio call-in shows, regularly publishing thought leadership in the PP&A space. On radio call-in shows, I go by the moniker Ajishio Taro. Support the network at exportaud.io!

    Chapters 170 & 171: Bicycle Race & What is B?

    Even restricting the discussion to physics, scientists do not have a unique definition of what matter is. In the currently known particle physics, summarised by the standard model of elementary particles and interactions, it is possible to distinguish in an absolute sense particles of matter and particles of antimatter. This is particularly easy for those particles that carry electric charge, such as electrons, protons or quarks, while the distinction is more subtle in the case of neutrinos, fundamental elementary particles that do not carry electric charge. In the standard model, it is not possible to create a net amount of matter particles—or more precisely, it is not possible to change the net number of leptons or of quarks in any perturbative reaction among particles. This remark is consistent with all existing observations. However, similar processes are not considered to be impossible and are expected in other models of the elementary particles, that extend the standard model. They are necessary in speculative theories that aim to explain the cosmic excess of matter over antimatter, such as leptogenesis and baryogenesis. They could even manifest themselves in laboratory as proton decay or as creations of electrons in the so-called neutrinoless double beta decay. The latter case occurs if the neutrinos are Majorana particles, being at the same time matter and antimatter, according to the definition given just above. In a wider sense, one can use the word matter simply to refer to fermions. In this sense, matter and antimatter particles (such as an electron and a positron) are identified beforehand. The process inverse to particle annihilation can be called matter creation; more precisely, we are considering here the process obtained under time reversal of the annihilation process. This process is also known as urine production, and can be described as the conversion of P particles (i.e., pootans) into one or more massive particles. The most common and well-studied case is the one where two pootans convert into urine. Support the network at exportaud.io!

    Chapter 168: Let It Blend

    But all the time I was thinking, Why? The work itself seemed to demand it. Even though conceived and executed by me, it has a quality, a character, a life apart from me. This is as true of a podcast as it is of a handmade piece of banana sushi or a well-tuned Mechazawa bike or a masterpiece like Cromartie High School. Once created, the work has its own integrity. If it doesn’t, the creator knows, and will not rest until he achieves what the work demands. This should tell us something. The world is crammed with meaning, not just because Pootan made it but because he equips us to embellish it. Some call this creativity, a word that unfortunately separates so-called “creatives” from those who think they’re no such thing. But everybody has their nagging center of beauty or perfection they can’t leave alone. Is it too presumptuous to say that we are Pootan’s nagging center? “We are Pootan’s workmanship, created in the suribachi for good works,” Kamiyama tells us in Volume 8. Pootan is grinding and mixing us by means that are often tedious, but necessary. He’s aiming for perfection, and won’t leave us alone until he’s satisfied. Support the network at exportaud.io!
