Luis Gomez says he can outbox 99% of podcasters
Luis J. Gomez spent the week telling his replies he can outbox 99 percent of podcasters, then offered to fight any 11 year old on earth. Mark Normand answered the Lindsay Clancy jury news with two words, and Are You Garbage finally dropped their special.
The big stuff
Luis Gomez says he can outbox 99% of podcasters, and any 11-year-old
One line turned into a whole week. Luis went from "I can outbox 99% of podcasters" to asking Grok if that was an accurate assessment, to the softer "If you don't train in combat sports I can likely out box you," to offering to box any 11 year old on the planet. Running next to it: a new tattoo captioned #34Life, plus a note that "The head is the least painful place for a tattoo."

Mark Normand answers the Lindsay Clancy jury news with a two-word pun
The post Normand quoted said the only juror who voted to convict Lindsay Clancy of murdering her children was the jury's only Black man. Normand's full response: "Hung jury." Pappas went at it from another angle, quoting a post about a juror's comment with a line about whose children they were.
Hung jury
Remember, they were just HER children.
Bits and clips
Mark Normand's week was two one-liners: second responders and naan binary
No setup, no thread, just two lines. "You never hear about the second responders," then "Gender fluid Indian = naan binary." He also posted an old clip captioned "Never forget this joke."

Are You Garbage dropped its American Garbage special
The podcast said American Garbage would land at 7 pm EST and that the guys are "super proud of" it. Then came the post saying it is out now, with a plea to spread the word. Under 24 hours later they were back to say the response was "so sick" and that "The Army of GARBAGE is Strong!"

No Skankfest pay-per-view this year, and Luis is fighting at Skankfights
Luis J. Gomez said there will be no pay-per-view streams for Skankfest this year. Too expensive to produce, he said, and they make the festival harder to organize, plus he thinks the PPV keeps people from showing up live. He is also fighting CJ Bishop on Friday at Skankfights and entering the Royal Rumble on Sunday.
