This episode starts in Grogg’s Studio with Drew Hyatt and Edward Raus explaining why Taps & Takes is still in studio instead of the usual Grogg’s Traditional Irish Pub setup, then moves straight into Drew trying to justify his Nintendo Switch 2 purchase. Season 2, Episode 18 of The Do-Over Podcast’s Taps & Takes series kicks off with Switch 2 buyer’s remorse, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, cross-save promises, Ubisoft account problems, and the kind of tech headache that turns a simple game download into a five-hour fight.

For new viewers, The Do-Over Podcast is a loose, funny, real conversation show built around stories, opinions, and whatever the room naturally turns into. Taps & Takes is the show’s Friday nerd news and sports run, with Drew and Edward jumping between movies, TV, gaming, fights, playoffs, and sports stories without forcing everything into one lane.

The nerd news side covers Supergirl, Cliff Booth, Avatar sequels, Star Wars moving past Skywalker, Grogu’s future, the Lanterns trailer, Peter Jackson and The Silmarillion, a possible all-female Expendables, the live-action Zelda movie, Creed spinoff talk, and Vision Quest. Then the episode shifts into game news: Warhammer Dawn of War 4, Chaos Gate Deathwatch, Lies of P, Project Rabbit, Starfox remake fatigue, Ocarina of Time remake hopes, GTA 6 trailer speculation, Sony and Xbox State of Play expectations, Summer Game Fest, God of War, Wolverine, Street Fighter 6, and why Blizzard should just make Warcraft 4.

After the break, Drew and Edward move into sports with Ronda Rousey’s 17-second win over Gina Carano, Jake Paul’s role in combat sports, whether Netflix could support a UFC competitor, the Knicks comeback, NHL playoff updates, Aaron Rodgers returning to the Steelers, Rashee Rice’s legal trouble and discipline risk, rookie NFL contracts, CTE and player fallout, and Angels fans chanting “sell the team” as the team sinks to the bottom of baseball.
