March 31, 2026 S4E25 - Super Smash Bros Melee
It's finally here - the sweaty couch classic. The boys dive into Super Smash Bros Melee and things get heated fast. We discuss what it would look like to find Smash item drops in real life, tier lists are debated, tournament rules are dissected, and we take a moment to give a hot take on unlocking characters in games. Also, Jarin gets absolutely destroyed by Yoshis. How? Just sit back, listen, and find out!

March 18, 2026 S4E24 - Addams Family Values
The boys snap, crackle, and creep their way through Addams Family Values this week. A Word of the Day has been chosen, but you'll have to listen closely, it's a secret. Each of us gets assigned our very own Addams Family name. Jacob takes a moment to air his grievances against generic Great Value products, which somehow feels very on brand for this episode. Plus many more spooky surprises lurking in the shadows. Don't let this episode FESTER in your queue. Give it a listen!

February 10, 2026 S4E23 - The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
What a strange episode. Matt AND Jacob sit this one out, but we get an old partner to step into their place for The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. Join Joel, Jarin, Alex, and James as they test the limits of glazing a game with no adults around. Matt attempts to keep some sort of decorum through editor's notes, but the scores remain. Hop on your small sentient boat and sail in to this weeks episode!

January 20, 2026 S4E22 - Crash Tag Team Racing
You asked, they delivered. In this episode Jacob and Joel make out hard. We also gently brush the surface of the vast ocean of Cat Dog lore, seeking the answer to the ultimate question, is Cat Dog a straw? Please do not attempt any Crash Tag Team Racing stunts discussed in this podcast. Consult with a doctor if you think Crash Tag Team Racing is right for you.

December 25, 2025 S4E21 - Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
Move aside Epstein's Island, because this week is all about Yoshi's Island! The boys discuss things that definitely happened. Jacob talks about life as an outlaw. Jarin secretly does something to prepare Jacob for fatherhood (what will it be!?). We also ask the question on everyone's mind, what if the Yoshis just ate Mario, would that be a better game? Listen to this poddy and find out!

November 17, 2025 S4E19 - Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness
A classic RTS for a classic group of fellas. We get into a very one-sided debate on the age-old question: Horde or Alliance? Matt gives it all in his back-of-the-box reading, Jarin brings up The Big Bang Theory, and we enjoy all that the first hour of Warcraft II has to offer. Listen to this episode in HIGH-FIDELITY Crystal-tek™ audio, ONLY on this platform, as a special gift to our listeners on this platform.

November 05, 2025 S4E18 - Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver
Joel edited this one, and told me nothing about it. I'm guessing we talked about Soul Reaver, probably did a quiz and the Here to Help segment. Jarin maybe discusses the souls he has reaved in real life. Is Jarin even on this episode? I have no idea this one is a total mystery. I think we recorded it 6 months ago at least. Enjoy!

October 26, 2025 S4E17 - Sonic Riders
Jarin takes the lead in number of Sonic games picked with this weeks choice of Sonic Riders. A Sonic game Matt hasn’t played? The boys dive into the wild soundtrack lyrics, dissect the finer points of Sonic character design, and revisit a legendary YouTube gem from the depths of the Sonic fandom. This episode totally sucks. I hated editing it. APRIL FOOLS — this one’s actually a banger. You’re in for a treat.

September 19, 2025 S4E16 - Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath
The boys are bagging bounties right quick with this episode. Surprisingly it's Jacob keeping them on track and making this episode short short short for your listening pleasure. Listen to these zany guys talk about the first hour of the original Xbox console classic Oddworld Stranger's Wrath.
