Kamahiko, Kaitetsu, Asabariki, Terukaze, Tamanosato, and the gloriously bald Genbu decided it’s time to hold the S3 Champ/Chump draft (since no one contacted me about the non-live draft possibility this time)… Enkaga comes in late and chooses his rookie season options at the very end, too. The gang talks about both Banzukes (IRL and RTY), with Genbu doing a “pronounce the banzuke” to the delight of Kamahiko! The group also talks about who is where IRL and what the upcoming basho looks like with how everyone is situated. We almost have a consensus this time who will take the Yusho! Almost.
If you would like to be a part of Season 4 of the Champ/Chump series, please ping Genbu and let him know. We have done a live draft the previous two times but we are investigating trying a non-live draft for season 4, so if you wanted to play this is the time to get in on that. Let him know and we’ll see what we have got!

No Kaitetsu or Tamanosato as they travel on their extravagant yacht to glorious places like Malta, Venice, and Bermuda playing soccer/football on their full sized pitch. Yes, a yacht with a full sized pitch. In the meantime, Asabariki and Kamahiko take the lead on interviewing former Ozeki Akamidori about their career, their heya, Kumamidori’s future, and some stories of their times. Genbu and Chubanoumi do pass in and out a bit (Genbu isn’t 100% again, he’s old and that’s life) as Shitayama sits on and listens. It is a grand old time!
If you would like to be a part of Season 3 of the Champ/Chump series, please ping Genbu and let him know. We have done a live draft the previous two times but we are investigating trying a non-live draft for season 3, so if you wanted to play this is the time to get in on that.

Guess the Banzuke talk! Kirigaya Oyakata interview talk! Kagayaki sucks! Genbu, Kaitetsu, Enkaga, Tamanosato, Kamahiko, Asabariki, and Kirigaya Oyakata (Kumamidori) gather together around the old podcast campfire to spin tales about Akamidori’s glory days, Enkaga trying to do the Guess the Banzuke (and gets ridiculed for it), Asabariki’s impending promotion to Yokozuna (to his surprise), the mysterious YDC of RTY, our final results from the Champ/Chump season 2, and a little bit of a change as Genbu is sitting in his living room instead of his podcast studio trying to let his wife sleep in (but she’s awake just as the show starts).

When you start the show with two false starts, things don’t look so good… that turned out to be fine, though, as Genbu was joined by Enkaga, Tamanosato, Kamahiko, Asabariki, and late in the show Ex-Akamidori (Kirigaya Oyakata) to discuss the state of RTY’s current basho, the updated Champ/Chump standings, the RTY banzuke (including speculation on who’s going up, down, and winning each division or going into playoffs), Genbu and Tamanosato accept the Golden Poop Award for this basho, and then Kirigaya Oyakata takes us on a magical journey of storytelling with a short jaunt down Akamidori’s triumphs and tribulations before the time is up… but we’ll head down that path again next week!

Genbu, Enkaga, Tamanosato, Kamahiko, Kaitetsu, and Asabariki get together with lurkers Toryuken, Kaikaryu, and Shitayama, with a surprise visit from Terukaze to pick a new Champ with Tetsuwan’s intai for the Champ/Chump series… we have some live bouts (not as chaotic as last time), we talk about the Champ/Chump standings, Easter weekend is upon us, battling bots is easier for some of us, Genbu’s learned exactly how much walking at work he can do, who will be battling to go back to Juryo to fight for the Yusho there next basho (hint: it sounds like a lot of the hosts will be there), how is the current RTY basho going, and we have our usual tangent fest of fun.

Genbu, Enkaga, Tamanosato, Kamahiko, Kaitetsu, and Asabariki get together with a lurking Tentoryu to have so many live matches it is a blast of overlapping voices… which then suddenly ends to have a lot of coherent conversation about the IRL basho that ended today, a little about our Champ/Chump series in the first few hours of the RTY basho, Genbu forgets to tell everyone about his work issues, and there are a few intai surprises that we discuss along the way!

Genbu, Tamanosato, Kamahiko, Kaitetsu, and Asabariki get together for a Dohyo Download extravaganza! They talk about bodily functions, bad behavior in the dohyo, Kagayaki’s unusually terrible basho, Hakuoho’s unusually terrible basho, who is likely to win the Yusho, who Genbu paid to put salt in who’s mawashi, historic 0-15 runs in IRL sumo, who Kamahiko is rooting to win because of their choices in a game they’re playing, people rooting for Takerufuji to win the Yusho, whether it’ll be an 11-4 or a 13-2 Yusho, the state of Kirishima’s “rope run,” and general Tom Foolery as one comes to expect from the greatest dice game sumo crew in the business.

It is draft day for the Champ/Chump series as Terukaze becomes the Season 2 rookie in the live draft for our second run at picking. Genbu (DJ), Tamanosato, Kamahiko, Kaitetsu, Asabariki, Chubanoumi, Terukaze, and Rikioi all join in on this episode as we cover the RTY Champ/Chump coverage, the IRL basho kickoff talk, bullying in sumo, the Miyagano beya controversy, general sumo talk, and being mad about time change.
Season 2 Draft occurs on this show but you can still get in on the action if you contact Genbu to make one Champ and one Chump pick based off of who has NOT been already selected based on the sheet located at this link. Deadline for entry is the start of the RTY basho. You would be joining Kaitetsu, Genbu, Tamanosato, Kamahiko, Asabariki, and (rookie) Terukaze for Season 2!

Tamanosato runs the show as we ask Kaitetsu all about the wonderful art of his Kensho-Mawashi, some history about the Kensho-Mawashi, and listener questions about what you all would like to know about them as well! Then we dive into topics like Genbu’s next segment of his sleeve tattoo, the IRL banzuke is about, holding the Champ/Chump series draft next week (with some new rules added for Season 2), and Kaitetsu makes Genbu a Kensho-Mawashi live on the air! Kamahiko, Rikioi, Asabariki, Shitayama, Toryuken, and some others pop in and out as this show is great!

There are too many people to name on this episode as we hold the Dohyo Download Open Tournament for fabulous prestige and prizes LIVE on the air! This one clocks in at nearly 2:30 hours as we have voices from many of the participants as well as regulars! We commentate on the matches (which almost exclusively happened in the Dewanoumi Training Camp channel for simplicity’s sake) as we whittled down 20 competitors to our top 3 finishers for prizes we didn’t really learn until the very end of the episode! We unleash the current (up to the episode’s live recording) standings of the Champ/Chump’s first season as well as a lot of smack talking up and down the show. Who knew that Kotonowaka wasn’t going to switch shikona until AFTER next basho? Crazy times.

After that, they turn their eyes to the Road to Yokozuna to discuss the Jungyo, the broad overview of how the banzuke and torikumi work is done, with a little cherry on top of talk about DJ’s RPG group looking for anyone willing to come on over to play!

DJ hosts Hot Lips, Mike Tyson, Robin Hood… and Enkaga! Yeah, that’s right, Stiletto was live with guests in this off the wall collaboration with the Jungyo names we’re using to participate in the Oyakata Eleven. There isn’t a lot to talk about but somehow we make it last a whole hour! The Master Sheet is pretty looking, Enkaga isn’t retired, Genbu is going to be hella dangerous next basho, Kakumeikoshin is in Makuuchi, DJ thinks there’s another heya, and we have ourselves a grand old time as technical difficulties plague this episode galore! (I even had issues getting this edited and uploaded!)

Genbu (DJ) is joined by Kitashoritsu and Asabariki for some… No Man’s Sky talk? Yeah, we talk about the game and some time sucks that keep us from participating in RTY as much as we’d like. There is talk about the winners of the basho, who went intai, possible rankings for some rikishi, and the discussion about how long Inazaru, Kitashoritsu, and Genbu have been playing the game… it’s not as long as Genbu thinks it is… surprise!

Genbu (DJ) is joined by Matsunofuji for an interview, with help from Mayayama, Asabariki, Maruwashi, Tennoyama, Rontsuri, Chubanoumi, and Inazaru (sorry if I left anyone out)! Matsunofuji has never experienced a makekoshi, loves a certain rikishi, and learn what their favorite animal type is! We touch briefly on Tennoyama’s final basho (hint: it’s this one), and fool around a bit, too.

Genbu (DJ) is joined by no one… absolutely no one. He’s alone and afraid and he’s talking about the real life basho that ended today, so spoilers abound. There is also a reading of the RTY banzuke as is tradition, so get your Degeiko bouts in because the deadline looms!
