Yo, what's up? Welcome to Kind of Funny Games Daily for Monday, August 3rd, 2026. I'm your host, Blessing, at AOA Junior. Joining me is Lil' Croy Poppy, Tim, Mo, Boy, Getty.
That Portillo plush. So many years in the making, it is finally here. Yeah. I am so excited. It's adorable. Oh, amazing. I love it so much.
I hope we never stop Portillo merch. No, Portillo is eternal.
Yeah. That little motherfucker, he will, I'm going to use the word haunt. He will haunt us forever. Yeah. Yeah.
I feel like haunt usually has a negative connotation to it, though. It usually does.
Okay, but in this case... You know, with Portillo, nine out of ten times, it's a good thing. But there was that one. That one negative haunt. There was always that one. When you look at him wrong and he pees, you're like, why are you doing that? Yeah.
I didn't get much of Portillo because of the pandemic.
Yeah.
You know what I mean? Yeah, you were robbed of greatness. I was robbed, but I do get a lot of mint chip. Yeah. I'm very happy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mint chip brightens up my day whenever he's around.
It is funny because it's like the two of them, Cole and Chip, like... There's weird personality. It's kind of like, did you watch Death Note? Yeah, I love Death Note. So you know how there was L? And then there was Velo and Nier? Like, is that after L?
After L, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's kind of what this is. Portillo is L. Oh, okay. You know what, actually? Actually, I can see it. Or Velo and Nier.
Yeah, but they're not. I feel like, because I would argue Death Note could have just ended with L. I think everyone could argue that. But, like, I don't feel that way about Mint and Cole.
Maybe Cole. But, like, the thing about Death Note, it's not that it's horrible. It's just not near as good. Sure.
But, like, I don't know, man. Mentship's up there for me. If I'm ranking Greg Miller's dogs, it might be a hot take. Mentship number one right now for me.
I mean, because he's small and fluffy. He's so cute.
He's so loving.
I knew Portillo too long. That's the problem. I understand that. And I love the new guys as well, obviously.
Even when I saw Portillo, I was like, if I touch you, you might die. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But also, when you met Portillo, he was more robot than man.
Yeah. Oh, 100%.
So, like, he was deceivingly sturdy.
Yeah, but like now I see Menchip and I go for a pet and sometimes he'll roll over and he's like in my stomach and I'm like, yeah, I'll pet your stomach. Oh, I love him so much. And then there's Cole. Remember, if you're watching live, you can beat him. Because he knows what he does. He knows what he does. He knows what he does. If I look at him wrong, he starts barking at me. He admits there because he wants to show off. It was like back in the day. Back in the day, I'd be hanging out with the friend crew. And like, you know, sometimes there'd be some girls over where we'd be playing FIFA and I'd score a goal. And I might act different when I score a goal when the girls are around. You know what I mean?
There's nothing cooler than scoring a goal in FIFA. I scored a goal in FIFA, and the baddies are around. It's like I might show out a little bit. That's fucking Cole with Mint around. It's like when Mint's not around, you're not barking at me like this. No, he's cool. You're not acting like this. You're chill. All of a sudden, Mint's around. You got to bark at everybody. You got to show out for him.
Yeah.
Aw, man. If you're watching live, be a part of the show by super chatting in over on youtube.com slash kindoffunnygames.
