Ep. 850 – 2025 Year in Review (All Calls)

The holiday season has come for us all, and with all the chaos surrounding it, we decided to listen to Taryn and bring back some calls. We clear out the entire backlog this time and start 2026 with a completely clean slate of calls. We discuss some movies, some current games, some books, and wrap it up with a great selection of calls to wrap of the year. Won’t you come sit awhile and listen to the 2025 Year in Review?

Ep. 849 – Super James Pond (SNES)

Super James Pond swims through the snow to TADPOG shores! Why snow? For some reason, this is a Christmas game, so that’s why we let it circumvent the Randomizer and get some love…or more likely some hate. You’ll have to listen or have listened to a few of our shows before to infer our general feelings about this sort of game. But hey, it’s not a sports or a Koei game. We try a cornucopia of gummy treats, talk about Paducah food, Beavis and Butt-Head, and more. Won’t you come sit awhile and listen? MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Ep. 848 – The Tick (SNES)

The Tick, at last, and through so many iterations – has leapt onto TADPOG shores. In true celebration, we stacked the co-host panel for everyone. Not only do you get all the common hosts, you get BubbaDrewski and Captain Gun Nerd Jon Turley! We have to discuss a few movies, of the Rob Reiner variety, more commentary on the increasing Stephen King television library, the fantastic defeat of Clair Obscure: Expedition 33, and maybe a little Dudley more for spice. Lots to discuss in this one, so won’t you sit awhile and listen to us talk about The Tick?

Ep. 847 – WarpSpeed (SNES)

WarpSpeed crashes onto TADPOG shores this week. We celebrate with Ian’s 3D printing, plenty of what we have been playing, what we have been watching, what we have been reading and more. We even discuss what we will play for Christmas this year. What do we think of this generically named game that we have never heard of before? I guess you’ll have to listen and find out. So won’t you please download some sort of podcasting app on your phone, find us, subscribe, make sure you are on Wi-Fi somewhere so you don’t drive up your data, download an episode, then sit awhile and listen? WarpSpeed!

Ep. 846 – Post Thanksgiving Lite Bake (2025)

Post Thanksgiving Lite Bake is here to give us a little content preparation relief with all the Thanksgiving plans and shenanigans. Luckily, Bubba Drewski is here for us so we have a full house for chat, drafts, and more. We discuss what we’ve been playing, what did for Thanksgiving, what we’ve been watching and more. While there is game talk, it’s not really focused anywhere but we promise to get back to that next week. Please sit awhile and listen while we have a Post Thanksgiving Lite Bake and digest the mass quantities consumed.
