The Gents return from holiday break by starting the show to pay their respects to Jason David Frank (2:00), who was most famous for playing Tommy Oliver in the hit franchise Power Rangers. The impact that Frank had on the nerd world was more than substantial, infamously debuting as the Green Ranger in the franchise and being multiple Rangers throughout the history of the series. The Gents acknowledge that Frank suffered from depression and passed due to the results of suicide. EstoBro and TV relay the information about the suicide and crisis lifeline, and want the listening audience to know that they are dedicated to bringing more attention to mental health awareness. After the salutations and introduction of the hosts, EstoBro wants to put Nintendo and GameFreak on blast for fumbling the release of the latest installment of the Pokémon franchise (13:45). He has been playing Pokémon Violet since its release earlier in the month, as he relays the abysmal reviews the game has received and all of the malfunctions players are experiencing playing the game. Could this be the downfall of EstoBro's favorite franchise that he no longer purchases another Pokémon game ever again? As the subject changes back to sports, TV has been more than excited to share the early results of the World Cup taking place in Qatar (29:30). The Gents make their analysis of the competition after the series of episodes that had their review of each national team in the group stages. The attention of their home country of the United States is given the kudos they deserve, especially after advancing to the round of sixteen after defeating Iran the day after recording (38:50). The Gents also break down other countries that will be advancing, including some surprises that they did not see originally coming. As the show wraps with the 'Who has the munchies?' segment of the show, EstoBro puts TV on the spot in the regard to Thanksgiving leftovers (48:30). The creative disasters that EstoBro conspired are met with interruptions from Hello Nurse and Mandy Hatake, as his credentials of being an ambassador of Flavortown are in jeopardy.
