Maximum Utcast - 26 - Normalize the Rod
Shownotes
On today's Utcast, we discover the bulge that's blocking men in 2026 before releasing the green slime origin on everybody. Later Zoey talks to the newest Maximum Utmost writer and furry expert Zalno about the complicated relationships that the StarFox fan community has with the series (watch the interview as a video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=602h0jOBCd8 ). Along the way, we reminisce about the N64, learn about Rhythm Heaven Groove, and uncover the mysteries at the heart of Sony's ceasing disc manufacturing. All this and a squad of rods.
