The Grinders are back for the first week of the greatest month of the year, that's right, May! A month so good that Spider-Man's aunt is even shares its name. What makes May so great? Well, there are many answers but few as good as the weather. As the season changes from Spring into Summer, the temperatures rise and the clothes come off.
As the temperatures are rising across the country, the attitude is also beginning to heat up. Clothes aren't the only things shed as the American people increasingly become more vocal. The American people want nothing less than to strip this administration of all its ill-gotten power. The Grinders stand with the American people as we push back against a fascist government that seems to be ramping up the atrocities on a weekly basis.
Fortunately for the American people, they have video games and the RPGrinders to distract them from the terrible reality. What better way could there be to spend your time hidden in an underground bunker than to listen to all 821 episodes of RPGrinders?
If you don't have an underground bunker, then it's time to get your protest kit ready. It's getting warm so don't worry about bundling up but don't forget the umbrella. Make sure to eat first and drink plenty of fluids and be sure to bring extra with you. Most important of all is to download every episode of RPGrinders and don't worry about bringing headphones. Everyone will want to listen as they denounce tyranny.
The May flowers are in full bloom so maybe that is Break's excuse for trying to skip this week's news segment. While he was out sniffing flowers Frank, Eric, and gaming world moved on. Maybe Break will use that excuse to get out of work and stay home playing some of these Summer releases: Hyperdimension Neptunia Rebirth 1, Wuchang Fallen Feathers, and an end of Summer release for the highly anticipated Borderlands 4.
If the heat starts to get to the American people and they just need a break from the march, then Eric has a couple of movie recommendations to get us back on track. What could be better than one Michael B Jordan? That's right, two! He is back and playing dual roles in the Sinners. MBJ isn't the only one who is back as several Marvel MCU characters return for the next big team-up movie, The Thunderbolts.
It wouldn't be RPGrinders if we didn't do the greatest podcast segment known to mankind, the Stinkos. There may never have been a larger Stinko in Grinder history than the fall of democracy in the United States of America. The country will never be the same as some irreparable damage has already been done. Beautiful weather now gives the American people more power to fight back. As this weather warms up the protests against this wannabe dictatorship are only just beginning.
Completely unrelated to the weather and political corruption, the Grinders have a brand-new Panic Room. Frank has a devious offer from a malevolent entity. We can't say more without spoiling Frank's demented fun.
With all of the oppression and fear mongering by the current administration it can be easy to fall into despair. Fear not, as the warmer weather will inspire more of us to stand up and push back. As we all march against evil in our short-shorts while listening to RPGrinders at full volume, we will see our numbers grow and their power diminish! Our fight against evil has only just begun.
Oh, and May is also MY month! Happy Birthday to me!
And fuck Trump!

RPGrinders EP 818 - Less Work Makes the Dream Work or Something Like That
Monday Mar 24, 2025
Monday Mar 24, 2025
It's the last episode of March but the first episode of Spring. So go find something to do outside next Friday evening. Join your local protest and help save our country before it's too late. Don't forget to take the necessary protesting gear. Water, signage, camera, and some ear buds so you can listen to RPGrinders while fighting fascism.
This week's episode had to start and end early for personal reasons. To save time there was no news segment. Coincidentally, the Break was actually early to the show. We are all sure those two things are not related.
Even though it's a shorter show, the Grinders try not to cut out anymore segments. To keep it short, each Grinder has one quick movie review but only one of the movies was good. Who was the lucky viewer? Did Break make the right decision my watching a movie that flopped at the box office, Morbius? Or maybe Eric was the lucky one when he watched the first Looney Toons movie that hasn't gotten the shaft from the WB in a long time, The Day the Earth Blew Up? Or perhaps Frank got to enjoy a new horror classic, Little Bites?
A short show will always have one guarantee, there will always be Stinko's. It's everybody's favorite segment so it would be rude not to include. Unfortunately, the Stinkos are growing ever dim by the weak. The American government has fully embraced fascism and innocent people are suffering. Due process and court orders are being ignored. Innocent people are being hunted by a government funded terrorist organization. A country built on immigration is treating its immigrants worse than it treats White Supremacists & clients of Epstein.
Even though this episode is short, the Grinders closed out the show with not one but two Driver's Seats. Or was that two Panic Zones?? Who knows, but at least both Frank and Eric came prepared... well, Eric came prepared. What does Eric have in store for everyone? I'll give only one hint, Dark Souls.
The Grinders will be back the first week of April. Until then, spend your valuable time doing something truly useful. Like reading my self-felating podcast descriptions or even listening to the show itself! Oh and maybe do some protesting or something, but mostly just read my words and tell me I am awesome.
Yes, I am kidding!
Seriously, yes. It was a joke.
Still don't believe me?
Fine. How many times do I have to write "I am not a narcissist." on the chalk board before you believe me?
