Cheese Fest, The Boys Finale and the Knicks Un-Curse | Taps & Takes

Drew Hyatt and Edward Raus are back at Grogg’s Traditional Irish Pub for Season 2, Episode 19 of The Do-Over Podcast, and the episode starts exactly where it should: with way too much excitement over Cheese Fest. From mac and cheese to cheese curds, jalapeno poppers, beer cheese soup, and a fully loaded burger situation, the show opens with full commitment to the bit before shifting into reviews, nerd news, and a packed sports rundown. The Do-Over Podcast is a loose, funny, real conversation show built around whatever the crew is watching, arguing about, reacting to, or laughing at that week. This episode is part of the Taps & Takes lane, where Drew and Edward talk nerd news, movies, games, and sports from the bar at Grogg’s. Royce also jumps in with a reluctant but hilarious rant explaining how Cheese Fest became a real event despite his deep hatred for mozzarella sticks. The episode covers The Mandalorian and Grogu, Obsession, the final season of The Boys, whether The Boys needs a bigger universe, Supergirl box office expectations, Masters of the Universe, Shrek 5 and Shrek 6, Darksiders, Avatar Legends, The Last Ronin game rumors, Transformers returning to IMAX, and the upcoming State of Play, Xbox Direct, and Summer Games Fest announcements. Then the show moves into sports with NASCAR news, the Knicks and the Danhausen un-curse, James Harden’s playoff comments, NHL playoff updates, Mercer missing the college baseball tournament, NCAA tournament expansion, Johnny Manziel at the Adin Ross event, a controversial boxing stoppage, and the Angels trying not to win too much.

Mackenzie Shirilla Case, Baker’s Dozen & Cool Ratings | The Do-Over Podcast

Season 2, Episode 40 of The Do-Over Podcast brings Drew Hyatt, Barbress Jess, and Darren back together at Grogg’s Studio for a Memorial Day episode that moves from absolute nonsense to a serious true-crime conversation and back again. For new viewers, The Do-Over Podcast is a loose, unfiltered conversation show built around real friendship, brutal jokes, personal stories, arguments over dumb details, and the kind of side trails that become the episode. This one opens with Elliott checking in from Los Angeles, his AM sports radio debut, the now-infamous “baker’s dozen” mistake, and a long roast about whether being confidently wrong could become his on-air bit. From there, Drew, Jess, and Darren debate how cool they actually are, including Jess making a strong case for a perfect score, Darren breaking down his own coolness, and Drew admitting adulthood, fatherhood, vaping, and real estate may have lowered his rating. The biggest discussion of the episode centers on the Netflix documentary about the Mackenzie Shirilla case. Jess and Drew walk through the crash, the relationship, the parents, the trial, the sentencing, and why the story hit them so hard. The episode then shifts into Drew’s attempt to quit cigarettes with his “robot” vape setup, Darren’s real-or-fake facts, indoor skydiving reactions, and a short Memorial Day closing. 00:00 – Intro, breakfast, and hot dog casserole 03:17 – Memorial Day check-in and show notes 04:33 – Elliott’s radio debut gets roasted 17:06 – SUR, TomTom, and birthday spending 25:39 – Sponsors, Patreon, and show reset 26:15 – Rating everyone’s cool factor 42:20 – The Mackenzie Shirilla crash documentary 01:02:25 – Frank Sierra sponsor break 01:03:44 – Quitting cigarettes and the robot vape 01:06:13 – Darren’s real-or-fake facts 01:09:46 – E-bike teaser and reactions 01:10:02 – Indoor skydiving video reaction 01:13:13 – Memorial Day closing and plugs #TheDoOverPodcast #DoOverPodcast #ComedyPodcast #MackenzieShirilla #TheCrash #NetflixDocumentary #VanderpumpRules **Join Our Patreon!** https://www.patreon.com/c/thedoover

Drew Attacked a Spider With a Sword and Now He Wants to Run California | The Do-Over Podcast

Drew Hyatt, Edward Raus, and Darren are back for Season 2, Episode 39 of The Do-Over Podcast, recorded at Grogg’s Studio in northeast Fresno. This episode starts with Edward and Darren finally meeting face to face, Darren explaining the Fresno State blowup that created Edward’s nickname, and the crew getting into why sports fans choose pain on purpose. The Do-Over Podcast is a real conversation show built around funny stories, bad decisions, strong opinions, and whatever the room naturally turns into. This one moves from work stress and real estate headaches into spider panic, Lord of the Rings swords, home-defense plans, dog poop justice, teenage pranks, egging cars, bus-stop burrito attacks, and the kind of dumb stuff everyone is grateful happened before doorbell cameras were everywhere. Later, Darren debuts “Darren’s Facts No One Asked For,” leading into Viagra chocolate, Bluechew jokes, hair dye takes, Whole Foods being cheaper than Save Mart, Fresh Pet dog food costs, and Drew questioning whether Save Mart should legally be allowed to keep that name. The episode also gets into Drew possibly running for public office, his anti-PG&E and anti-high-speed-rail campaign ideas, a tourist throwing a rock at a Hawaiian monk seal, reaction clips, Angels fans chanting for Arte Moreno to sell the team, and the “it’s not gay, it’s math” clip that pulled the whole room into one last spiral.

Season 2, Episode 18 of The Do-Over Podcast’s Taps & Takes series kicks off with Switch 2 buyer’s remorse, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, cross-save promises, Ubisoft account problems, and the kind of tech headache that turns a simple game download into a five-hour fight. For new viewers, The Do-Over Podcast is a loose, funny, real conversation show built around stories, opinions, and whatever the room naturally turns into. Taps & Takes is the show’s Friday nerd news and sports run, with Drew and Edward jumping between movies, TV, gaming, fights, playoffs, and sports stories without forcing everything into one lane.

Man-Stration, Dating Standards and Phone Anxiety | The Do-Over Podcast

The Do-Over Podcast opens with coffee orders, luteal phase talk, and the question that takes over the first half of the episode: do men have their own version of a cycle? Drew Hyatt, Barbress Jess, and Darren turn “man-stration” into a full conversation about male mood swings, hormones, golfing stress, relationships, dating red flags, and why some men seem normal until they absolutely are not. Season 2, Episode 38 of The Do-Over Podcast was recorded at Grogg’s Studio with Drew Hyatt, Barbress Jess, and Darren. For new viewers, The Do-Over Podcast is a loose, honest, funny conversation show built around real stories, uncomfortable opinions, relationships, parenting, work pressure, internet clips, and whatever the room naturally turns into. The episode moves from Jess explaining male hormone cycles into a bigger discussion about whether she really hates men, what separates good men from bad ones, why love bombing is such a red flag, and how dads can set the standard for what daughters expect later in life. Drew also talks through raising daughters, body-image anxiety showing up earlier than expected, and how hard it is to be honest without damaging confidence. After the break, the conversation gets lighter but stays all over the place in the best way: top hats, fedoras, sourdough phases, Drew’s real estate receipts from the last episode, brutal Instagram comment sections, an ashes-in-the-lake video, phone anxiety as a self-employed person, a wild accidental FaceTime story after a vasectomy, mandatory vasectomy hypotheticals, and Alex Terrible wrestling a tiger. Grogg’s Traditional Irish Pub is mentioned during the episode. 00:00 – Morning at Grogg’s Studio 02:08 – Coffee Orders and Luteal Phase Talk 03:29 – Jess Explains Man-Stration 07:03 – Male Hormones and Daily Mood Swings 08:09 – Does Jess Actually Hate Men? 11:38 – Good Women and Better Men 16:35 – Dad Standards and Dating Expectations 18:54 – Getting Married Before 30 21:13 – Raising Daughters by Example 23:29 – Female Friend Groups and Honesty 25:29 – Why Women Gas Each Other Up 30:57 – Hygiene, Weight and Real Friendship 37:45 – Drew’s Daughter and Body Image 46:33 – Sierra Finish Carpentry Ad Read 47:35 – Patreon and In-Between Cuts 48:25 – Top Hats, Fedoras and Sourdough 53:19 – Drew’s Real Estate Receipts 55:33 – Instagram Comments Destroy a Tattoo 58:19 – Ashes in the Lake Clip 1:01:44 – Phone Anxiety and Work Pressure 1:09:10 – Accidental FaceTime Vasectomy Panic 1:11:04 – Mandatory Vasectomy Debate 1:13:31 – Alex Terrible Wrestles a Tiger 1:16:19 – Wrap-Up and Socials #TheDoOverPodcast #DoOverPodcast #ComedyPodcast #RelationshipPodcast #FresnoPodcast **Join Our Patreon!** https://www.patreon.com/c/thedoover
