Funkatronic Rex - Games & More
For those of you who are not familiar with Funkatronic Rex, we are a friendly local game store located in Phoenix, AZ. However, we are quite unique.
We tend to be the goofy, gregarious, and non-grindy gaming geeks of the community.
With a humble staff of 4 friends, we love our customers dearly and many of them are like family to us. Our social interactions and goal of a warm "Cheers" style vibe has a direct effect on our niche community.
As with any community, we have an abundance of hilarious stories and insight.
Our aim is to bring you in, share the vibe, and bring the love of the Funk to you in our podcast!
We hope you enjoy!

Episode 6 Part 1: FATHER OF THE SALT FATHER
•
Funkatronic Rex
NO! I am your father!
In this special 2 part episode, we have the pleasure of hanging out with Mike’s rad Dad, Jaime! Jaime is a wealth of wisdom, humor, care, and rizz. Because of the natural flow and fun we had chatting with him, we decided to separate this into 2 different episodes. FEAR NOT! We will release Part 2 next week and stay on schedule to release episode 7 on 5/10.
- Hobby Highlights: Jaime and Mike crack some packs of the new Lorcana set, Ursula’s Return while we chat about painting models, the importance of community and trust between staff and store, organizing Magic the Gathering, and Micheal’s gate building skills. Jaime discusses his jewelry business and Mike reflects upon the gaming industry amidst the pandemic. Mike binge watches Battlestar Galactica, nerds out, and wheels and deals with friends of the store.
Hot Hobby Question: Has Lorcana paid tribute to Magic the Gathering or are they stealing card ideas?
- Store Lore: Funkatronic Fish! Glub glub! Mike educates us on the origins of the store’s fish tank and his relaxing hobby of fish farming. Anyone need any guppies?
- SPECIAL INTERVIEW: JAIME, MIKE’S DAD!
This is part 1 of 2 of our fun chat with Jaime. We discuss his childhood in Colombia, Monopoly fights, Mike’s teenage years, and just hang with the father of the Salt Father. We are so thankful for Jaime’s time, care, humor, and support. Teasers for part 2 included!
