In this special guest episode of the Pika Pals Podcast, Jed is joined by his good friend Mark — for a chaotic and hilarious dive into Pokémon and… Beanie Babies? From drunken Pikachu cosplay adventures and furious fans to the pitch of a totally amazing app idea, nothing is off limits. Along the way, they even attempt to solve the age-old mystery of Psyduck’s headaches — and, somehow, his butt aches too.

⚡️ What you’ll hear in this episode:

• A wild, no-filter chat with special guest Mark

• Pokémon meets Beanie Babies — the crossover you didn’t know you needed

• Drunken Pikachu cosplay tales and furious fan encounters

• The mystery of Psyduck’s headaches (and butt aches) finally tackled

• Nostalgic stories, parody sponsors, and Pokémon-inspired laughs throughout

  
  

💬 Join the conversation:
