October 06, 2021 13: "A Big Fish Hook Through Both of My Ass Cheeks"
It's Fall, y'all! And the friends are ready to bathe in a cool, cozy pile of leaves. In this ep:
A freshly vacationed Mike tells a tale of two automobiles. Zac shares some vacation woes of his own, as well as the many woes of being a sports fan in Chicago. The friends finally have a spoiler-filled discussion about the original run of Hideaki Anno's seminal anime series, Neon Genesis Evangelion. Nintendo once again hoists Zac with his own petard. And Zac jumps feet-first into the magical-realist world of Kentucky Route Zero.
All this and more on... Loud Friends!

September 22, 2021 12: “Keep Huntin' That Bird”
The boys* are back in town** after a nice break, and it’s time to catch back up with a big ol’ grab bag of topics. Mike lived through another hurricane, and after some discussion about our doomed climate, unleashes his own hurricane of thoughts and feelings about finally finishing Final Fantasy 7.
The friends also share some war stories of trying (and sometimes succeeding) to build things, some light (non-spoiler) thoughts about Neon Genesis Evangelion (which Mike just started watching for the first time), and Zac tells the story of the most harrowing grocery run ever experienced by man or beast.
The Friends are back and Louder than ever. This is not one to miss.

Zac is secretly on a skate park vision quest, completing many skate-based puzzles and dodging dastardly traps. It's chill, tho.

August 25, 2021 11: "Fiber Induced Clairvoyance"
Good lord, has it already been two weeks? There’s another one of these?? Time’s friggin crazy like that. Damn.
The being formerly known as Mike has been replaced by a sentient amalgam of glass, lasers, and lightsaber sound effects. I’m hearing this is a very normal side-effect of enrolling into the Fios program? And then Zac has taken up tucking each individual shrimp baby into bed, kissing them on their foreheads, and reading them night time stories. Every. Single. Evening. Are we even sure shrimp even have ears? Or beds????
Anyways, Mike goes full Gamer Boy and talks about the intricacies of the Megaman ZX remaster, then Zac gets sad about capitalism or something.

August 11, 2021 10: “People Are Made Up Of A Lot Of Tiny Little Stories”
Just a heads up for everyone listening, early in the episode Zac discusses the recent passing of his uncle and his experience at the wake and funeral processions. It’s nothing gruesome or explicit, but we figured it wouldn’t hurt to flag it beforehand. If you’d prefer to skip that bit, we switch gears at about 16:36.
If you need a place to stay in the big wet apple of New York City, Mike’s your man, as he talks once again about the joys and agonies of prolonged hosting. The gamer babies also detail the new Mario Golf update (it’s very good!!), build up a strong city infrastructure in Mini Motorways, and stress out about the new covid variant.
Stay safe everyone <3

July 28, 2021 09: "I Am Sully, From That Movie"
A slightly shorter episode this week! Mike’s time was tied up by seeing his parents in person for the first time in a year and a half, and also going to a birthday party for the first time in two years, so we hopped on a call to put together what the man pointing a gun at my head is telling me not to call a “mini-sode.”
We get to talking about Coney Island, being with people again, Sully from the movie Sully, Zac’s Big Mario Golf Tournament, Ocarina of Time, and skateboarding, before closing things out with a quick GDQ recap.
We also have an email now, so throw some trash in an envelope, lick that stamp, and jam it into your nearest USB port, cuz we wanna hear from YOU!

July 14, 2021 08: “Committing A Little Micro-Genocide”
You ever do that thing where you take your GameBoy outside when your parents kicked you out of the house during the summer? I know I sure did.

It’s a bit of a stretch, but this week’s episode reminded me of those days, where your folks were trying to make you a more well-rounded young person by making you go experience a world not bound to a screen. Or maybe they just wanted a couple of minutes away from their damn kids.
Either way! Zac lays down the groundwork for the pod’s new Aquatic Update segment, in which he details the goings-on of his new invertebrate roommates. Mike takes us on a TV tour of Adventure Time, Cowboy Bebop, and the competition developing within the Formula One season.
Somehow, we were in fact able to restrain ourselves and not sneak out the proverbial GameBoy, though our audience may not be so lucky next time around.

June 30, 2021 07: "Break Me Off a Piece of that E3 Bar!"
It’s E3 week! Or, uh...it was, just a bit ago. And well, being who we are, we’ve got lots of thoughts about video games that we need to think into a microphone so that we can exorcise these demons before they’re no longer relevant. It was also Sonic the Hedgehog’s birthday when we recorded this, so Mike shares his thoughts, love, and a brief update from the world of Sonic. Strap in, gamers, this one’s for you.

June 16, 2021 06: “Reason For Leaving: I Am James Marsden”
Get ready for Full Blown Gamer Mode on this episode of Loud Friends. The dynamic duo dive into the latest developments on the games media space (Waypoint+, Nextlander, Giant Bomb) as well as video games that take place in literal space (Destiny 2, No Man’s Sky). Additionally, Zac goes to a baseball game, Mike scans for both threats AND deals at his local mall, and we take a second to talk about the upcoming Playdate console from the folks over at Panic.

June 02, 2021 05: “I Probably Named A Planet Borat At One Point”
This week on the pod, Mike and Zac each receive a mysterious piece of mail whose message is...otherworldly? Back on Earth, Zac gives another glowing review of his landlord, while Mike fleshes out his feelings on Final Fantasy 7, dips into No Man’s Sky’s new Expeditions game mode, and can’t wait for a machine to wash his damn clothes. The Friends then ruminate on such hot topics as Phil Mickelson, The Rock, Dippin’ Dots, and what they would each want their one robot eye to do if they had one robot eye.
