Play

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Sports Illustrated: Championship Football & Baseball! You know, two in one! With the super limited space on an SNES cart, there is no way either of these games was given short shrift for the novelty of having two sports games in one. Right? RIGHT?! I GUESS YOU WILL HAVE TO HANG OUT WITH US TO FIND OUT. But don’t worry, we spice it up in other ways before we get to the delicious Sports Illustrated goodness. Lots of Curb Your Enthusiasm talk, we visit Ian’s Horror Hole for the Evil Dead series. Dave takes us to Anime I? with Chainsmoker Cat. Tyler is almost finished with Mina the Hollower after he and Melissa finally see Obsession. So there is plenty to digest here, so won’t you sit awhile and listen to the best talk about Sports Illustrated: Championship Football & Baseball that you PROBABLY have ever heard?

Nigel Mansell’s World Championship Racing FINALLY comes to TADPOG. We know all the Mansellheads have been chomping at your bits for us to finally get to this 1992 classic and not a single one of the show hosts had ever heard about. BUT FIRST, we have to talk about Herman’s Head and Murphy Brown – things all the kids are talking about now. We also sprinkle in some Dresden Files, The King in Yellow, and Red Rising talk on the old TADPOG Book Nook. We visit Anime I? Discuss the latest 2008 happenings on the Jersey Shore, and more. But we get DEEP into Nigel Mansell. You’ll have to listen. Won’t you some sit awhile and do just that?

HAL’s Hole in One Golf birdies it’s way onto TADPOG Shores. We are sadly down a Bubba Drewski this week, but at least we all saw Project Hail Mary, so we have that going for us. We go on about what we have been playing AND what we have been reading – we are very close to Pizza Hut in our Accelerated Reader programs. We talk about Dungeon Crawler Carl, and some Delta Green tabletop, and plenty more. Oh yes, and this game. Actually quite a bit. So please, come sit awhile and listen! HAL’s Hole in One Golf!

D-Force forces its D directly onto our show, courtesy of The Randomizer. We are blessed by the presence of Bubba Drewski to help us talk about different kinds of sugar, what Larry David is doing, discuss Ian’s journey into The Dresden Files, Tyler’s journey into He Who Fights With Monsters, Dave’s journey in Project Hail Mary, and how busted some of the Final Fantasy mini games are. We try plenty of foods from Jungle Jim’s and even find some time to talk more deeply about this game that maybe anyone else ever has. So won’t you come sit awhile and listen to some D-Force?

Bonkers! Totally nuts. Let’s get this out of the way—yes, Tyler sounds terrible. Embrace the terrible. He is out of town for work and is doing his best. So, beyond 1/4 of the show having bad audio, Bubba Drewski joins us to discuss both the cartoon and the show this week. We talk about TikTok cats, FFXIV, something about pants, and the difficulty of job interviews and more. So if you liked Bonkers, or even happen to be familiar with these game – won’t you sit awhile and listen?
