do you know how hard it was to choose a podcast header when I had all these options from the AI translations that auto popped up in the Suikoden anime trailer

A zoom in on an armored mans chin with the subltitle text "I don't know what I got cake out of the sugar"

2 boys one in red with 2 tonfa behind his back and a yellow scarf, the other in blue with a long ponytail and a staff on his back looking out over a burning building.

text reads I don't know what I got cake I don't know what I don't know what in all capitol letters.

A rear shot of a man in armor with a cape looking at a red moon with clouds in the sky.

text reads Mother I don't know what I got cake out

a boy in a yellow scarf looking right towads a boy with long blong hair looking left with a black bar between them.

text reads So she coco the psychic SEO.
