Ryan Hackel, AKA Zyonik is a Pokémon GO commentator, YouTube creator & Twitch streamer. He joins Liam & Ben to discuss franchises we didn't get, share some Pokémon GO tips and play a lovely game of Getting To Know You.

SHOW NOTES

Ryan mentioned PVPoke, an open-source tool for simulating, ranking, and building teams for Pokémon GO player-versus-player battles. A great resource to give you the edge! Find out more on PVPoke.com

We chatted for a while about the potential crossover between Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead: the blue meth in TWD, for example. Looper have a great list of other instances that support the same-universe theory, you can read that on Looper.com

HOW TO SUPPORT THE SHOW

Our plan is that this show will always be available for free, but super fans are encouraged to support The Conversation Hat via Patreon. We ask listeners to consider how much they pay for services like Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc, and apply the same logic to our show - do you feel our show is worth $1 a month? $5? $50? Whatever you think is right! We’re giving all our patrons an exclusive extra question from each episode and early access to each show. There’s also stickers and stuff. Check it out over on Patreon.

Alternatively, we’re pleased to announce the Conversation Hat Merch Store on TeePublic! We have shirts, hoodies, mugs and yes, of course, face masks!

If those aren’t your thing, then maybe this is for you: Super Loot want to deliver a box of nerdy merch and geek chic to your doorstep each month, and will do so for £19.99, (you can get your first one for £15!) Take a look, right flippin' now. Please. www.superloot.co.uk/ConversationHat

Or, if you'd like to support the show without spending any money, (which is fine by the way, I suppose), there are a few ways you can do that: feel free to follow us on Twitter and retweet anything you see us post; like us on Facebook and hit as many thumbs-up icons as you possibly can; Follow Odd Creative on YouTube, where you can watch some Conversation Hat videos and leave some nice comments too; leaving us a positive review on whatever listening platform you use is also massively helpful, especially so on iTunes.

For updates and such, you can sign-up to our mailing list right here.
