Canada is about to have some alien visitors crossing over from Michigan, and they're using the brand new bridge in Detroit that FINALLY opened to go on their video game journey!

Bryan and Mario (along with Victorino and former podcast host Angel) are taking on a trek to find the rarest and most sought after games on their list, as the stores at home are running them out of luck on the purchases.

As they form their plan, Bryan has a memory lane moment talking about a random guy from Arizona that he used to link up with to play games, and how the Aliens almost dox his name and place of business.

Also on the show, our favorite Norwegian viewer goes into the chat to talk about his trip to Mexico to visit his wife's family, and why he won't cross the border to the US to visit his favorite podcast hosts, Bryan goes to look for his high school phones that he somehow saved to see if they can run in 2026, and Mario reads off the very unsavory list of symptoms people have been suffering from by eating bad lettuce.

The Legal Aliens Podcast is invading Canada, both on the air and to Windsor's finest video games stores. Both legally.

After celebrating 200 episodes in truly glorious fashion, Bryan and Mario are finally back on the mic for another episode of The Legal Aliens Podcast! And what better way to return than by pretending everything is totally normal after Mario’s beloved Argentina somehow lost the 2026 World Cup Final? But don’t worry—Mario is definitely not upset, depressed, or emotionally devastated. After all, he got to watch Argentina win the World Cup four years ago, so technically he’s already had his moment. That’s how this works. He’s fine. Completely fine.

The return to recording is made even more difficult when Mario’s internet decides to throw an absolute tantrum, causing technical problems, recording issues, and generally doing everything in its power to make sure this episode never sees the light of day. But eventually, the boys manage to get things working long enough to discuss how movie directors are apparently much better at making video games than anyone expected, before taking a massive deep dive into the history and lore of a 2000s video game company that made an incredibly cool-looking game about tank battles.

And finally, the boys discuss a certain Paraguayan government official who decided to go completely off the rails with what appears to be a pretty blatant racist tirade aimed at Kylian Mbappé, proving once again that the internet is a terrible place where everyone has access to a microphone, a keyboard, and absolutely no sense of self-control.

The Legal Aliens Podcast is back—and somehow, despite the internet, international soccer heartbreak, video game lore, and political insanity, they made it to Episode 201.

200 episodes... who would've thought we'd make it this far without getting canceled or running out of things to argue about? Mario and Bryan celebrate the massive milestone by welcoming comedian, rapper, entrepreneur, and all-around good time Chingo Bling to help make Episode 200 one to remember!

The guys jump into the recent news that PlayStation may be saying goodbye to physical game discs in the next few years, sparking a debate over digital ownership, preserving games, and whether we're all just renting our libraries with extra steps. They also soak in the incredible World Cup atmosphere, talking about fans from every country turning the streets into one giant party and why soccer somehow convinces complete strangers to hug each other for 90 minutes.

Chingo takes us behind the curtain and explains how he gets into the zone before stepping on stage, shares stories from his earliest performances, and looks back on the moments that helped launch his career. Then everyone tries to figure out why the 1980s refuse to stay in the past, from the music and movies to the fashion that somehow came back looking cool... even if the hair probably shouldn't.

Thank you to everyone who's tuned in over the last 200 episodes. Whether you've been listening since Episode 1 or just accidentally hit play and never left, we appreciate every download, every laugh, and every bit of support. Here's to 200 more episodes of questionable opinions, unnecessary tangents, and somehow always finding our way back to video games.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup has brought the world to North America and to our legendary "churches" of Waffle House, Bass Pro Shops, and Ella Langley country music concerts. After a week into the tournament, Bryan and Mario review the best and worst of the matches so far, with their hype for Mexico and Argentina at an all-time high, and their hope that the USA can somehow shock everyone and make a historic run.

Mario takes inspiration from Detroit sports radio and brings the game "Can We Say That?" to the podcast, asking Bryan various World Cup topics about the Scots and their fanbase, why American news media sucks and those visiting the country actually like it here, why Messi is THAT guy, and is Tunisia out of pocket for firing their head coach after just one game?

Plus, Grand Theft Auto VI preorders are coming this June, and with the validation that the game is coming later in 2026, the boys (alongside many others) get ready to ask for time off from work and calculate how many billions Rockstar Games will make off the preorders alone. Spoiler: PTO is going to be running dry for every company. Shoutout Burger Motorsports.

One episode away from the 200 milestone, and this podcast is out here celebrating soccer, culture, video games, and ready to celebrate. What that will be, you shall see.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup is here, and boy does it feel like the United States is single-handedly trying to cause international tournaments to never be hosted here again. While hype may vary, the Aliens are super pumped, especially Mario, who has a World Cup trophy in hand to point at the haters and provide reasons for why Argentina will dominate the world again in what could be Lionel Messi's curtain call on the big stage. And Bryan thinks Mexico will have a horrid showing, which may well happen, but it's the World Cup! Stranger things happen, like Haiti having their jerseys illegal.

Also on this internationally viewed show, Summer Games Fest has come once again, and while some of the biggest games have been unveiled, the boys think back to a grand time in the golden era of video games, where the show E3 hit like questionable substances and provided oodles of high-quality content. We wish it was still happening.

Plus, a void kitty sneaks behind Bryan to study how a podcast is done, a deep dive into the various global spinoffs of The Office, Mario tries to mentally prepare for an upcoming 5k run, and a delicious hit of sum peanut butter craaacckkers.

A podcast that delivers on the memes, conversation, soccer smack talk, and cute cats. All before the wackiest World Cup in history (probably).

A podcast before a cruise? Oh you know it had to be done! Bryan and Mario give you all another rousing episode before the high seas call our Argentinean man to the shores of south Europe.

Mario can't go on his first European excursion without giving us a story on how he witnessed a near-death situation on the road, and how he was having an internal discussion with himself about whether or not that high school girl kind of deserved what happened when you try to beat traffic crossing the street.

The guys are also recommended to check out some video games that are so off the wall and crazy, that city governments banned them! Will they still search for them to add to their collections? It may not be a zero percent chance.

Plus, Forza Horizon 6 is finally making it to the public, where the dreams of driving and drifting your way through Japan are realized. Just how many hours will be logged until GTA 6 is released?

There was some utterly jaw-dropping moments in English lower league soccer, teaching a new follower the ways of our sound effects, and Bryan providing us with some low frame rate action on camera.

All this and more from a podcast going on a short break while cruising across the Mediterranean Sea!

Mother Nature has been bringing the severe weather to Michigan a ton lately, so much so that tornadoes in the middle of the night are waking people up, just like what it did to Bryan this week! A small tornado touched down within walking distance of his apartment, and Bryan describes on this week's episode his action plan once he woke up to the sounds of sirens and his phone going nuts.

Also on this new recording, the guys go over all of the biggest announcements at CinemaCon, with among others Call of Duty announcing a movie, Space Balls 2 putting a title to their long-awaited sequel, and the upcoming Avengers movie dropping a sick teaser.

Plus, has the fallout from the sneaky Arizona resort pictures gotten to Dianna Russini, will Project Hail Mary's continued run at the theaters bring Mario and Bryan back to watch the amazing film again, and how on Earth did the upcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender movie get leaked on Twitter (not saying X because it's still dumb)?

All in all, another Legal Aliens Podcast episode that is sure to provide the laughs, confused questions, and riveting commentary.

With Bryan last year scoring an amazing deal on a Ford Focus ST that needed work for $500, Mario uses this podcast as an excuse (and with a burning desire) to try to find a sweet ride online around the same price that hopefully isn't destroyed, very sketchy, or just a shady dealer being untruthful with their listings.

Also on this week's show, as the boys were recording this episode, NASA has a successful mission end with the Artemis splashing back down on Earth, and they ponder what the next trip to space will entail. Are we going to colonize the moon? Will Mars be our next stop, despite the three-year round-trip?

Plus, the discussion of combining your work life with your personal one as the news of someone playing I Spy scooping pictures between a well-known sports journalist and NFL head coach becomes the big story.

Inching closer to that epic episode 200. Come for the madness.

Another week, another international conflict that gets closer to its apex. Bryan and Mario decide why let that and some initial copyright issues uploading this episode stop them from bringing this to the masses? The guys are suggested to look into a very intriguing conspiracy theory regarding the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster: did Big Bird cause that to happen? Was the iconic Sesame Street character supposed to be on that ill-fated launch? It's a topic tailor-made for this podcast, so we obviously had to check it out.

Plus, Bryan leans Argentina for wanting their new World Cup jersey, a deep dive into Need for Speed Nintendo DS game ratings, and is Mario speaking facts about purchasing sports jerseys straight from China and not worrying about the long shipping wait?

This episode is another one closer to 200. Still just as random, confusing, and wild as one may expect. Welcome in.

Bryan and Mario are back in front of the mic this week and doing what any well-prepared professionals would do—going through an interesting yet chaotic guest list document they've written, and realizing they may have accidentally included voice actors from half the golden era of Need for Speed. At this point, a full pivot to a racing podcast feels inevitable.

Mario later gets to jump on his soapbox (again) for the PWHL’s return to Detroit, declaring—loudly—that women’s hockey belongs in the Motor City, and honestly, he’s not wrong.

Also on this episode, are podcasts becoming overwhelmed by famous people and there are not enough average Joe's starting one? And how has this resulted in outrageous production costs and less heart and soul put into crafting something fun.

Plus, the guys rave about the Project Hail Mary movie, seriously consider breaking up with Netflix over its prices, and remind everyone that Justin Long is an American national treasure who crushes it in whatever role he gets.
