This week’s episode takes a lively detour through the chaos of parenting, baseball season, and family dinners before landing squarely in the galaxy far, far away.

We kick things off with stories about kids dodging showers, sneaking bubblegum onto the ballfield, and testing their parents’ OCD triggers with sticky popsicle faces. From sunscreen battles to late-night snack raids, it’s all the highs and lows of raising kids — equal parts exhausting, hilarious, and heartwarming.

That family talk flows into gaming, with reflections on siblings, only-child dynamics, and how growing up with brothers, sisters, or solo shaped the way we play. Food quirks take center stage too: picky eaters versus adventurous ones, kids putting ranch on salmon, and the joys (and horrors) of seafood.

Then it’s time for the stars. We dive into Star Trek movie trivia tangents (yes, the whale one was IV), before shifting to the main event: a thoughtful look at Star Wars Destiny and how it paved the way for Star Wars Unlimited. We dig into what Destiny got right, what made it unsustainable, and how Unlimited refines the formula — making the most of the IP while avoiding past pitfalls.

It’s part parenting confessional, part geek culture roundtable, and part TCG deep-dive — all wrapped in the usual Funkatronic Rex mix of snark, laughter, and community vibes.
