Side Pull: Recent Episodes
Side Pull Podcast
Side Pull is a DotA 2 podcast that's about the community, culture, stories, and news that makes DotA so great. We don't want to bog you down with the meta, theory crafting, or all the granular confusing crap. Hosted by Austin "Cap" Walsh, acclaimed "Tier 1 talent," TI broadcaster, and voice actor; and Joey "Leafeator" Thimian, who is none of those things.
Join us every Tuesday to talk about the wacky world of DotA, or just our own personal wacky worlds.
Thanks for putting us in your ear holes.

Cap is back home, and there is a patch! But before the patch, more TI horror stories. This time, with implications of being an international criminal.
Cap continues his stay inside of Bucharest while waiting for a negative PCR test, and trying to not go crazy. Joey goes to Hawaii, and reddit explodes as talent vs community comes to a heated argument on sexism/gatekeeping/talent invites.
Cap breaks down his adventures being on the ground at The International 10.
@leafeator @capcasts
Team Spirit are your TI10 Champions! Cap and Leaf do a little TL recap through the whole event. Highs, lows, and Magnus.

So much. Too much. Travel stories, Covid restrictions, teams getting sick, practice room woes, refunded tickets, Ceb, fan pack lines, ppd. It's a lot of dota news right before TI kicks off!
@leafeator @capcasts
We're prepping for TI 10 by talking about prep for TI 10. Or well, Cap is -- Joey still may be a bit emo about having to stay home.

Did ya miss us? We're back, and tell you why we were gone! Also, ESL Fall and 7.30 shenanigan's. Followed by important questions like "What do you call the back of your knee?"
What are the odds that title puts us on some kinda government list? No dota patch, but talk about ESL, and Back 4 Blood, and the Wedding Joey went to. And also Incest.
@leafeator // @capcasts
Joey was late to the show, and Cap makes sure he knows about it. Esports Awards, Gym, ESL, and no dota patch :(
@leafeator // @capcasts
Joey has a screw in his jaw now. Cap has a conflict with his mother.
@leafeator // @capcasts
Joey moves in with his parents, cries about Team Liquid, and then the boys talk about the TI qualifiers. And pushing TI for 2 months.
@leafeator // @capcasts
TI IS CANCELED? KINDA? VALVE? Also, ESL, Qualifiers, Caster Bias, E3, Mario Party, and Bo Burnham's Inside. It's a lot. Just like you like it.
@leafeator // @capcasts
Pour one out for Joey who still thinks Liquid is gonna qualify to TI off of points. Joey and Cap re-cap (wow, I'm a comedy hack) their high, low, and medium lights from the Animajor playoffs! Can ya believe they did another podcast that's 100% dota focused? They can't keep this up forever.
Groups finished up for the WePlay Dota2 Animajor and we're headed into playoffs. Joey is huffing that deeeeep drag of TL copium. And the boys generally talk lots about the event! Weeeeeeeeeeeee :(
@leafeator @capcasts
Before you ask, yeah the audio is a little scuffed. Honestly, I'm just happy I got to save the episode instead of having to tweet that we're missing another week. It's been so long that Cap and Leaf spend over an hour talking about DOTA. Like, the whole time. From Gambit to EE, relegation, promotion, Kiev, WePlay, Animajor expectations, and more more more moreeeeeee
@leafeator // @capcasts
Looks like the last episode got a few extra viewers than normal, thanks Cap. The boys debrief on the blowback and feedback from last week's ESL/Alliance/OG fiesta. They also talk at length about the Supporters Club fan bundles introduced to dota!
@capcasts // @leafeator
While we might have missed our normal weekly record, instead of skipping the week outright we thought it would be fun to sit down and chat about the last 48 hours with Alliance, ESL, Valve, PPD, OG, Notail, and all the drama that follows. Because we're nothing but drama shills, clearly.
@leafeator // @capcasts
While the DPC goes into Week 4, Joey and Cap talk about Cap's hosting EU East and the associated production of all the DPC leagues. Also, some good social media shenanigan's. And a weee little EU DPC at the end for flavor.
@leafeator // @capcasts
Cap and Leaf talk family, and then the DPC, which is probably for a lot of people (myself included) better than family?
@leafeator // @capcasts
Joey gets dose 2, and has a real problem with the new dota patch. Cap tells you what heroes to play (and not play).
@leafeator // @capcasts
Cap is back in Europe for the DPC. Joey got a new camera lenses again. Dota got a new her. OG got Ana. Nigma got ILTW. And ya know some other stuff too. Patch analysis -- we're coming for ya PURGE.
The Singapore Major and DPC Season 1 come to a close. Also, NA Division 2 DRAMA. ALSO, the boys give their review of the Dota Dragonblood anime! And some League of Legends talk?
Warning, this is, and I can't believe I'm typing this, an ENTIRE episode about dota. Singapore groups, from covid to placements to updates to re-streams. It's all here, and we're excited to be back in dota event international land. Hell. Yeah. Also, we're releasing this one a bit early!
@leafeator // @capcsts
While Joey and Cap now are vaccinated, some pros haven't quite been as covid safe. A lot of teams are having issues getting their full roster out to Singapore for the Major this week :(
Also- DMV, Taxes, Vaccines New Player Experience, and much more.
@leafeator // @capcasts
Honestly, we're all over this place in our week-back episode. Joey's hair. Home depot. Racism. DPC. Wild cards. Cap's Covid vaccine. It's a bunch o stuff for yo ears!
@leafeator // @capcasts
Joey finally tells his bitcoin story. He also has an important question about chicken sandwiches and fast food. ALSO! Another DPC team match fixing! DPC EU Tiebreakers, Cap's DPC Singapore plans, and a LOT more in this super long episode. Long cuz good btw.
@leafeator // @capcasts
DOTA ANIME, DRAGONBLOOD. Lots of DPC news as we look at the 5 Division 2 teams who have dropped out and play "Why were they DQ'd!" Also pimples, and last names, and EU DPC!
DPC, Singapore Major, Team Packages, pubs, and likely a bit more DOTA than normal as the DPC makes its way into week 5!
@leafeator // @capcasts
I know we want to talk about how the DPC is going for Cap, and the teams, but first we have to talk about drugs. I'm sure you'll understand. It's because we're _ahem_ so cool.
@leafeator // @capcasts
Trying out a new title format. Numbers are so 2020. Cap is in Sweden and Joey is in LA so he's having a cider while Cap enjoys morning coffee before the first day of DPC work 2021. Let's get excited and welcome in the new year of dota!
@leafeator // @capcasts
We're back! Hope you enjoyed that break and had a happy new year! Joey wants to talk about his 10 year old pants. Cap wants to talk about carry omniknight. They both have opinions on deodorant, and each-other's appearance. New year, but nothing new.
@leafeator @capcats
It's a Christmas miracle! The boys (@capcasts, @leafeator) talk for over an hour about the new patch. Aghs shards, 7.28, Mistwood, Hoodwink. [26 min onward]. That's like, a lot for them! So we hope you like your holiday gift!
AWAKEN. Arkosh gaming, incoming patch, DPC, dota dying? The boys hit a lot of stuff here in our pre-patch works. But we also get to see what Cap got for Christmas, Cyberpunk 2077, and find out of Joey ever found the coffee...
@leafeator // @capcats
Cap recounts his weekend casting with Slacks in For Honor! Also, DPC, Epic League, hamburger feedback, and Joey's quest to find coffee!
@leafeator // @capcasts
Do you eat your burger with the top bun on top, or on bottom? Do you vile at the sight of cucumber? Do you get mad at Valve for just casually saying the DPC is coming in January? The boys do.
@capcats // @leafeator
Valve bans people they shouldn't, then admit to it? Oops. Also, For Honor casting, Thanksgiving, and Joey tells some fan summited jokes to the therapist.
@capcats // @leafeator
CAP HAS A NEW TWITTER IT'S @CAPCASTS. Send your recommendations for ultrasound finger jokes to him and @leafeator. That'll like, make sense after the episode.
The boys also talk about Insania's documentary episode that Joey has been making, 2000's pop punk, and epic league!
Diretide, Summit, Election, Shower Sleeping, Standing Sleeping, Anxiety, and that one time that Cap almost had to leave his cat at the airport. Not necessarily in that order.
@leafeator // @dotacapitalist
Cap's back to talk about his facial hair (or lack their of), Halloween (and all holiday) distain, diretide, Team Liquid, EDC, and much more with Joey. Joey just wants to know if he has abs tho. Plz say yes.
A quick thank you for 50, and a toast to 50 more. Enjoy your week, and please [if applicable] vote!
HE'S 30! Which I am now being told is "the new 20." We'll be the judge of that as the boys talk through what some might consider a "quarter life crisis."
@leafeator // @dotacapitalist
Cap and Leaf are in the same room, for the first time in months, as the two mourn the loss of the battle pass. How far in the episode can Joey make it without a severe alergic reaction to Cap's cat? Who knows!
Cap has a hot dad. Joey pees too much. CR4ZY died. Rest their soul.
@leafeator // @dotacapitalist
Cap and Leaf talk Hades, Editables, and a liiiiiiiittle bit of dota.
That's it. That's the description. Have a good week fam.
Devon of The Legendary Tails, a true professional role playing DM (Seeds of Destruction, Steel Horizion), joins us to talk about his expertise, campaigns with cap, and they try to figure out what character Joey would play.
This episode has everything from angry reddit posts, tier 2 dota, destroyed plumbing, and maybe even domestic abuse! Oh and a big ol helping of WePlay stories!
@leafeator & @dotacapitalist please and thank you.
Valve gives everyone an update on everything reddit is complaining about! TI10, DPC, Dota streaming, oh my! Cap joins Leaf from Kiev where is he finishing up WePlay Omega league.
Part 2 of our special with Slacks and Jenkins recorded at WePlay Omega in Kiev on Cap's couch without Joey. Slacks and Jenkins talk about the hottest of topics, rebroadcasting rights.
Slacks and Jenkins join Cap in his WePlay Omega Kiev apartment to cuddle on the couch and record part 1 of this 2 part bonanza. And by bonanza, I mean Meat Banana.
Joey fucked up the audio everyone. Please tweet him @leafeator to tell him how ugly, dumb, and ugly he is.
Scary movies, dirty sheets, and why giant companies take money from icky governments and cause their whole entire operation to get a ton of bad PR. Are we even allowed to talk about LOL on a DOTA show?
Cap's back home, so the whole microphone situation is fixed. The boys catch up on being late, Cap get's an email, and they talk a bit of 7.27 / Aghanim's Labrynth!
Cap calls in after a long 16 hour drive up north to talk about road trips and family! Briefly, because as you may notice, he's on a cell phone. And I'm not gonna say it doesn't sound awesome...but...
djWHEAT Marcus Graham joins Cap and Leaf to give the boys a bit of history into himself as one of the dads of esports. This man has been through it all, Quake, Starcraft, Dota, Twitch, CGS, you name it. A true constant and pillar of our industry. I actually don't know why he gave us any of his time tbh.

Wanna ask a question? Tweet! @leafeator // @dotacapitalist
And, exhale. The boys are here to talk about 7.27 and 7.27a. Because there are things and changes is dota! Obviously we all know that they aren't smart enough to spend a whole hour on that, so there's some other fluffy talk about how both boys are, well, getting fluffy.

This will not replace the normal show. It'll be here tomorrow.
Today Cap talks about what casters get paid.
Jenkins join us to talk about if content creators need to use their platform for good. Also, poop! Because we're all four years old and like poop. Sorry, not sorry.
Cap shares the wave of emotion of once again not receiving a chat wheel voice line in the TI10 battle pass. Joey tries to console him, but we can assume he is not good at these things.
Cap and Leaf in a solo adventure talking about Food, Body Injury, Techies, Newbee, EG, Battle-passes, and basically everything. We made this episode too long? Sorry?
Kyle is here fresh off the blog presses to talk about life as a nomad, working in esports, and quite a bit of philosophy!
Come with us as we gather to celebrate the life and death of the 10th The International. Also, new patch, corona paranoia, gymnastics, avatar, b8, liquid, and long lists of topics.
Hopefully the #1 in the title of the last episode clued ya in to that there would be MORE ZYORI! Enjoy this second half of our conversation with Zyori of Shared Tangoes podcast. We get to talk about his parents, and ppd!
Zyori from the Shared Tangoes podcast joins Cap and Leaf for a bit of side pull action. We literally talk about porn and shit. I'd tell ya not to expect much, but hell, you know better.
It's funny tho! I promise.
SirActionSlacks or Mr. Slacks, has graced us with such a bat shit crazy podcast that honestly even trying to summaries it may do it a disservice. He does talk a lot about baby making, being pro pandemic (but anti-terrorism), Artifact, Valve, TI, Creating, and most things in-between.
Still separated, the boys hop into discord to talk about their work, quarantine, ESL, dota, lack of dota, bread, and bidets. This podcast, much like a bidet, will be a nice cool stream of water to freshen you up. I promise.
Blitz joins us to talk about way more dota than we usually do! He's stuck in Los Angeles with us, however we're still recording remotely due to COVID. Check out him and Cap casting ESL for the next three weeks! Listen to him talk about casting, coaching, Liquid, and balancing all three. Also, threesomes.
Turns out the only thing that can keep Cap and Joey away from recording in person is, well, a global pandemic. The boys podcast from the comfort of their own room (sorry about the audio?) and talk about people who didn't stay in their rooms and went to WePlay. Also how canceled Majors effect talent's bottom line, and getting sexy while on quarantine. Also, I guess, Corona and 7.25.
Dan Offen of Position 6 joins us for an episode of Side Pull recorded right after Summit 12! This is part 1, and if you want part 2 you'll have to go to the Position 6 podcast feed to get it. If you're one of Dan's fan's coming over, thanks! Enjoy your stay. The bathroom is to the right.
We're here a little early this week to get you our hot off the press opinions on all the DPC news Valve has been dropping!
Part 2/2 of our recording with Charlie! This one is a little less about dota, and a little bit more about shitting in the woods. Naturally.
Charlie Yang is Back talking with Cap and Leaf about all the dota. All the minor qualifier stories of teams dropping out, and the delay that Corona is putting on the Chinese teams. Also, the potential new DPC season schedule, and what that may mean for Tier 1 and Tier 2 dota in 2020.
There's a new patch and things are a wee bit different as we build up to the next Major in Los Angeles! The boys both look forward, and behind as Cap tells us about his time at the Dreamhack Major.
Cap and Joey are back from Europe and want to tell you all about, well, everything that went wrong with their travel. And the greatest 90's alternative rock band of all time, Creed.
Cap and Leaf take your questions on this extended Twitter Q&A episode. Wanna know what the boys think about the player base number decline, or listen to some childhood memories? They got ya covered. Even cool people like TobiWan get in on the question asking!
Cap is back from Singapore, so the boys talk about the event; but also find out how we got Arteezy and Blitz on the podcast. Also, anime, the holidays, customer service, and more things that are definitely dota related.
Arteezy and Blitz are back with Cap in Singapore for Part 2 of their Side Pull appearance! Arteezy talks a bit about why he normally dosen't like to do these things, never being home, and what do to with all that esports $$$.
Cap pulls Arteezy and Blitz into his little Singapore hotel room to record some sick video. About dota, and dota tangential things. Even Kyle joins in for a moment! Joey however, was not in Singapore, but who cares about him when WE HAVE ARTEEZY! He like never does this stuff, so big thanks to him!
Charlie Yang (former EG / Speed.int manager and TI analysis) sits down with Cap & Leaf to take a look into the more, well, cynical side of esports. The boys get a real insider's perspective on the business of teams, twitch, and what may be problematic in the scene as it continues to grow.
I hear that everyone LOVES patch note discussion. I know we do, so you should, in theory, love it when Cap and Leaf talk about all the changes that came with the Outlanders Update.
