The Return of What the Kids Say! The original we did many years ago with Brainy Jr. schooled us in 2019 on the slang of her day. Now in the year of our Yu Yevon 2025, Chocochica comes on to give us the latest Gen Z slang for our elder Millenial/Gen X brains. We had a great time the first go round and this time was just the same. So come let join us trying our first Level 4 Final Boss Sour, Ian recounts his weekend trip to the Louisville Arcade Expo, Chocochica loves tornados, Tyler has his heart broken by Suikoden mid-stream, Dave wants to play Monster Hunter Wilds but his heart belong to Final Fantasy XIV. So come get educated on all the newest words, please, come sit awhile and listen!

Ep. 808 – Super Troll Islands

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Super Troll Islands, that’s right. ISLANDS. Plural. So many islands of souless hairy troll faces with their butt jiggly up and down ladder. That’s not me just being weird. THAT IS AN ART ASSET FOR THIS GAME. That makes you need to listen, right? In addition to all this ridiculousness, we do a deep dive back into the 90s with a 20 spot draft of popular trends from the decade. We saw a few movies, we played a few games, we talk about them. Then we dive head first into the warm, colored waters of the Super Troll Islands. Won’t you come sit awhile and listen?

Ep. 807 – Troddlers

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

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!

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!

Ep. 805 – Tyler and Dave Reorder IGN’s Top 100 SNES Games

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Tyler and Dave Reorder IGN’s Top 100 SNES Games – well, that title says it all, yes? Ian wasn’t available for this one and we didn’t want to do a game so Dave had the wonderful I idea of doing something highly requested for many years now – how would we reorder the list that started this podcast over 12 years ago? Well, here it is. No fluff. No drafts. No intros. No closers. It’s straight main entree and no chaser. Tyler and Dave figure out a system and go game by game and negotiate the IGN SNES list with our own TADPOG flavor. So, if you’re a long LONG time fan, there here is a great episode for you. If you haven’t been listening for a decade – well, we understand if you don’t have any idea what is going on. Please, listener, won’t you sit awhile and listen to us re-do a list of 100 games?

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

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?

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

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?
