    We celebrate the end to another season of the podcast! JR allows Nef (despite continued technical difficulties, which were blamed on Discord-related issues) to sound off about the end of the season for his favorite NFL team, the Buffalo Bills. Among other topics, JR previews a "side project" experiment being put in place for XAR's upcoming 25th anniversary, and the question is asked if one would try a Japanese pizza made with strawberry kit kats. Nef talks about the new seasonal plane service operating from Canada to Japan's northernmost island of Hokkaido, and reviews the latest in his manga library. We also give a birthday salute to our favorite host from north of the border. If you are watching the video version of the podcast, we apologize as Nef's video lagged as the show went on.

    What happens when you go away for a month, and one of your hometown sports teams makes the championship and does some amazing things in real time? JR and Nef present this week's podcast, where Nef is literally having a "blast" as certain events occur live.

Nef clues us in on "Mechanical Marie," and news from Japan since the last show - including the Prime Minister who loves her old Toyota Supra, and the new release of the November sumo rankings. We also preview mascot cosplays from cosplayers Grace and Mischievous Duck, and we continue a years-long XAR Halloween tradition by inviting a special guest into the room... out of the closet...
