Look, it's late, I still need to pack for PAX, and thus, I have no idea what's in this episode of Podtoid. The title was taken from the first soundbite I randomly checked. It's a grab bag! Hopefully it's good!

But seriously I think Steven Hansen, Brett Makedonski, and Ray Porreca briefly talked about Mario + Rabbids. Then they probably did listener questions and a SATPOTPAQ.

Next episode we'll actually have video game stuff to talk about from PAX. It'll be good. But maybe this one is good too!

Episode 379: Everyone Had Syphilis Back Then

It's been a few weeks, so we're rolling four deep. You got your Steven Hansen, your Brett Makedonski, your Darren Nakamura, AND your Ray Porreca. It's 33% more Podtoid Boy for your ears. The crew mostly talked about recent travels to bachelor parties and Mexico. Darren hasn't been anywhere interesting lately, but he is going to the path of totality for the solar eclipse on Monday. Maybe this whole post should be about how the solar eclipse is when the moon is between the sun and the earth. Perhaps Steven would learn something. Otherwise, we talked about Sonic Mania and Tacoma, then rounded out the episode with the ol' listener questions, SATPOTPAQ, and a U.S. state-themed Hot Dish.

Podtoid 378: The Four-Way

Another long summer week without much happening, another episode where the Podtoid crew kind of just shoots the breeze for 45 minutes before finally talking about a video game. Steven Hansen, Brett Makedonski, and Ray Porreca hit a potpourri of topics including ranking frozen pizza brands, how to make money on YouTube, The Mooch (who is already outdated since this recording), Early 1900s women's fashion, how to remove a human head, why anabolic steroids are good actually, and whether Floyd Mayweather can read and write. Eventually, the topic rolls around to the upcoming sequel Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, which Steven previewed a while back but only now can talk about. Of course, the episode rounds out with listener questions (including a very good question about artificial meat asked by a presumably handsome individual) and SATPOTPAQ. Listen up!

Podtoid 377: Floyd Mayweather's Questionable Literacy

Oh boy, it's a slow week for video games, which means it's a great week for just hanging out and talking about whatever comes to mind. These include topics such as Geoff Keighley being video games' press secretary and how being Twitter verified allows freedom to be an asshole. There was some video game talk, like our new YouTube Channel Dtoid Fights, which currently has streams of the D-Team running around in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. Look for more there. There was also some Destiny 2 beta talk, but Darren's unscrupulous captors only allowed him about a minute to talk about that. After that were some listener questions about the upcoming PAX West thing, the weekly SATPOTPAQ, and a Podtoid Hot Dish focused on the moon.

Podtoid 376: Ugly Baby Poo Colored Balls

We're back from break! Or some of us are. In this episode, Steven Hansen, Brett Makedonski, and Ray Porreca reminisce on the past month or so since they last got together and talked like good podcast boys. Some of the games they talked about were PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, Micro Machines, Get Even, and of course, Rocket League. Get Steven and Brett together and they're going to talk about Rocket League. It's like a running joke that isn't funny. Other topics include Brett's new PC, how quickly Steven poops, and how a blast from a powerful jet engine could kill you. Listen up!
