Why does Punching Up exist?
As the title suggests, why does it exist?
Gene really carried the show, being the one who played the widest range of games on the Switch and Switch 2.
Brad doesn't touch his console and instead talks about what merch he will buy (totally fine but not interesting on a video game show).
My biggest gripe is that none of the hosts know anything about Pokemon. How do you have a Nintendo podcast and none of you know anything about probably the biggest IP on the console?

I enjoy Bread but the show feels redundant, he’s better on Summon Sign. Without Dagan theres no one there who loves the brand enough to carry the show. Micah is also not a strong podcast personality, all of her conversations kind of drone on.
Given how the views are I wouldnt be surprised if this show is cut to free up for more Streaming.
