June 25, 2026 - Season 13 finale

JR and Nef present the final podcast of Season 13 before the show goes on summer hiatus. On this podcast we salute our mascot Yumemi Butai on her fourth anniversary, and read notes posted by Yumemi cosplayers MikaZelda and Kessho-Cho for the occasion. JR recaps his trip to Virginia to meet with Mika and Bri (and take Mika's Yumemi photos). Besides the usual sports chatter, notably the ongoing World Cup, they talk about the early release of "Smoking Behind the Supermarket With You" on Crunchyroll. Nef then goes through his manga library, enough to suggest a couple of titles to JR, including "At Home with a Girl in Her Cute Pajamas."
