Ep. 807 – Troddlers

Troddlers…troddles it’s way to TADPOG shores? If they want to make Troddlers a noun then I can turn it into a verb. Hey, what do toddlers and probably troddlers both love? Chicken nuggets. We do a blind taste test of local fast food nuggets (ChocoChica, maybe now ChickenChica joins us!), Ian gets into a beta test, Dave becomes a Master Viper, and Tyler fights about his Dark Urge. We also talk a lot about this game none of us had ever seen or heard about in our lives. So please, come sit awhile and listen to us troddle on about Troddlers!

Troddlers Shownotes:

The History of the Chicken Nugget.
Overwatch starts testing Stadium Mode.
Dave delves into Monster Hunter Wilds.
Seen them screen shots?
Tyler gets a Steam Deck.
In which he will celebrate the remasters of Suikoden I and II.
Is the Dark Urge the canonical play through?
What what the email.
We all love a Scotch Egg.
Maybe we also love Sloppy Steaks.
Remember when we covered Suikoden?

Ep. 806 – Phalanx

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Phalanx strums the old banjo into the halls of TADPOG. Have you heard of Phalanx? Maybe not. Are you millenial? Then you’ll probably recognize the iconic and weird box art. That probably bodes well for us, right? Such well known art for a game that no one really recalls what kind of game it was, yes? ANYWAY, we bring on our foremast old man with banjologist – Captain Gun Nerd Jon Turley. We talk about jug bands, box art, visit Ian’s Horror Hole, discuss some books, some Game of Thrones and have some bar related drafts. So if you’ve ever been curious about the game with the weird box art, come sit awhile and listen!

Phalanx Shownotes:

Remember Pop N Twin Bee?
Dave hasn’t seen Gladiator.
He also hasn’t seen Gladiator 2.
Ian loves Emmet Otter’s Jug Band.
Phalanx had quite the change on the GBA.
Companion comes recommended.
So does The Gorge.
Tyler begins The Inevitable Ruin – Dungeon Crawler Carl Book 7.
Morgana, Everyone likes Big Chests is next on Ian’s list.
Battle of the Bastards is one of the best episodes ever.
Why do we square dance in school in the US?
But you said that, right?
Landman is watched by Jon.
We all love The Righteous Gemstones.
More mentions of The Mayor of Kingstown
Tulsa King
Rave review for Taylor Tomlinson.

Ep. 804 – Super Goal! 2

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Super Goal! 2, that’s right. Punctuation is hard in the SNES era. You also know how soccer games tend to go for us, so is this special? Do we dive in and wash ourselves in a hidden gem of soccer goodness that can reach even our sport game-hardened hearts? We won’t tell. (You probably know the answer). Super Goal! 2 Welcome back ChocoChica to the show after a very long hiatus to join Dave and Ian in trying a bunch of chicken sandwiches blindfolded. We further the chicken game by building our own chicken based meal draft. The hosts also talk some TV shows, some gaming, and a little bit more. So please, come sit awhile and listen! Super Goal! 2

Super Goal! 2 Shownotes:

Who watched the Superb Owl?
Ian is ready for Yellowjackets Season 3.
BELIEVE in Ted Lasso.
Dave thinks about trying out Iron Fist.
Everyone agrees Genji isn’t right for them.
Baby Billy comes into Dave and Nikki’s lives.
Remember when we did Shining Force 2?
What about this great picture of Sarah and Chester?
We’ve done other soccer games, like this one.
This soccer game as well.

Ep. 803 – Super Bowling

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Super Bowling adds maximum oil to its lanes to slide its way onto TADPOG shores. Finally, the last pin has fallen as we have now completed the entire bowling game library for the SNES (there are only 2 games). So we celebrate with a very long 15 spot blind draft, talk about the life and death of Multiversus, some bowling movies, Ian’s Horror Hole movies of the week, pickles, and more. So if you’re a fan of some sweet sweet bowling action and 3 cis white guys talking about it on the Super Nintendo, won’t you come sit awhile and listen?

Super Bowling Shownotes:

Poor poor Multiversus.
WHERE IS THE MONEY, LEBOWSKI?!
Well, there is our episode of Brunswick World Championship Bowling.
We all love Kingpin.
Ian recommends the Arcadian.
“Did you know I have the title line in Star Wars?”
Laid on Peacock also get a recommendation.
It Follows is very similar.
Melissa and Tyler watched The Bloody Pit of Horror – in psychovision.
Grillo’s pickles!
Dave begins his journey with Uncle Baby Billy.
Souper Bowling? Or Bowling for Soup?
Turkey! It’s an anime about bowling!

Riddick Bowe Boxing big daddies its way onto TADPOG shores, courtesy of the revitalized Randomizer (now back with full otherworldly powers). We bring on our foremost Boweologist, Captain Gun Nerd Jon Turley. We sample some burgers, ala Good Mythical Morning style, while blindfolded. We discuss the merits of fast food, the history of Nosferatu, the perils of Overwatch 2 and Marvel Rivals, and more. Then we do a pretty deep dive into the particulars of Riddick Bowe Boxing. So won’t you sit awhile and listen?

Riddick Bowe Boxing Shownotes:

Ian approves of Nosferatu.
Do you know the full story of the production of Nosferatu?
Oh so many Skarsgards out there.

Ep. 801 – The Untouchables

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

The Untouchables somehow was missed in our movie games line-up (we eventually figure out why) so we agitate that gravel back to old haunts (a one week break) to the old movie and game plan! Before we talk about this Oscar award winning movie we discuss some Overwatch 2, a little Marvel Rivals, some Final Fantasy XIV expansions, a bit of the old Baldur’s Gate 3, and draft some fictional gangsters. Then we talk quite a bit about the movie and do a deeper dive into this game than any review magazine ever did. Our new Zine Lord has the stats to prove it. So won’t you come sit awhile and listen to this episode on The Untouchables?

The Untouchables Shownotes:

Remember our episode over Wild Guns?
Are you excited for The Fantastic Four?
Norm had a good bit about Mr. Fantastic.
Ian enjoyed playing as Black Widow.
Dave braves the Baldesion Arsenal Dungeon in FFXIV.
He also is enjoying the new X-Men run.
So you’re telling me Han jumps over Jabba’s tail?
Geraldo uncovers the vault of Al Capone!
Triumph visits the Weiner Circle

Ep. 799 – All Calls Go To Heaven

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

All Calls Go To Heaven! Just like all dogs. That’s right. Calls. We needed do some some calls this week because life always happens and our hearts go out to Ian. We’ll get back to Looney Tunes B-Ball next week, we promise. I’ll (Tyler) be straight with you this week. All Calls isn’t everyone’s thing, I get that. Sometimes we just need the therapy/relaxed fit of the episode type. But when I tell you, outright, this is one of my favorite episode we have ever recorded – I mean that very seriously. Emotional ups and down are present but we probably engage in the best tangent ever. Big thanks to Poobrounder. Believe me when I ask, as it will be worth your while if you’re already a fan – please sit awhile and listen! All Calls Go To Heaven!

All Calls Shownotes:

Ever had that Crumbl cookie? Here is what we had.
What about their banana pudding?
We have featured Beethoven before.
The tale of Hachiko.
Rimshot was always a good boy.
Ernest goes to Africa is now on the list.
Comet ate Michelle’s ice cream.
Milo! Get the keys!
Eddie is the easy top dog.
What about Dug?
Or Porkchop from Doug?
Spike saves the Rugrats.
