The Do-Over Podcast

Switch 2 Regrets, Game Fest Hype & Sell the Team | Taps & Takes

This episode starts in Grogg’s Studio with Drew Hyatt and Edward Raus explaining why Taps & Takes is still in studio instead of the usual Grogg’s Traditional Irish Pub setup, then moves straight into Drew trying to justify his Nintendo Switch 2 purchase. 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. The nerd news side covers Supergirl, Cliff Booth, Avatar sequels, Star Wars moving past Skywalker, Grogu’s future, the Lanterns trailer, Peter Jackson and The Silmarillion, a possible all-female Expendables, the live-action Zelda movie, Creed spinoff talk, and Vision Quest. Then the episode shifts into game news: Warhammer Dawn of War 4, Chaos Gate Deathwatch, Lies of P, Project Rabbit, Starfox remake fatigue, Ocarina of Time remake hopes, GTA 6 trailer speculation, Sony and Xbox State of Play expectations, Summer Game Fest, God of War, Wolverine, Street Fighter 6, and why Blizzard should just make Warcraft 4. After the break, Drew and Edward move into sports with Ronda Rousey’s 17-second win over Gina Carano, Jake Paul’s role in combat sports, whether Netflix could support a UFC competitor, the Knicks comeback, NHL playoff updates, Aaron Rodgers returning to the Steelers, Rashee Rice’s legal trouble and discipline risk, rookie NFL contracts, CTE and player fallout, and Angels fans chanting “sell the team” as the team sinks to the bottom of baseball. 00:00 – Intro from Grogg’s Studio 02:21 – Switch 2 buyer’s remorse 05:31 – Assassin’s Creed cross-save nightmare 10:23 – Supergirl, Cliff Booth and Avatar 13:52 – Star Wars needs to move forward 16:14 – Lanterns trailer and DC talk 17:20 – Lord of the Rings problem 20:12 – Female Expendables pitch 21:37 – Live-action Zelda movie moves up 24:12 – Vision Quest and Marvel TV 25:02 – Warhammer Dawn of War 4 27:28 – Lies of P and Project Rabbit 29:16 – Starfox remake frustration 32:47 – GTA 6 and showcase speculation 35:25 – God of War, Wolverine and Warcraft 39:34 – Sports break 40:26 – Ronda Rousey’s 17-second fight 43:21 – Jake Paul, Netflix and MMA 48:04 – Knicks comeback and NBA playoffs 50:48 – NHL playoff update 51:57 – Aaron Rodgers returns to Steelers 53:30 – Rashee Rice and NFL discipline 57:16 – CTE, contracts and NFL risk 1:00:12 – Angels fans chant sell the team 1:02:27 – Is Elliott the curse? 1:02:56 – Where to follow the show #TheDoOverPodcast #TapsAndTakes #GamingNews #SportsPodcast #NintendoSwitch2 **Join Our Patreon!** https://www.patreon.com/c/thedoover

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

Realtor Drama, Angels Baseball and Drew’s Dad Update | The Do-Over Podcast

Drew Hyatt, Edward Raus and Tosh are back at Grogg’s Studio for Season 2, Episode 37 of The Do-Over Podcast, and this one starts fast with Hooters food talk, Edward’s LEVL drink business, DoorDash coffee, and Drew trying to get through a packed morning before everything turns into a full breakdown of a real estate deal that nearly went sideways. For new viewers, The Do-Over Podcast is a loose, funny, unfiltered conversation show built around real stories, sharp opinions, local Fresno energy, and the kind of arguments that happen when the room gets rolling. This episode leans heavily into Drew’s real estate story, including buyer representation, real estate paperwork, agent ethics, broker emails, and how a recorded phone call helped shut down a messy dispute before his clients secured the house. After that, the show shifts into bigger rants about bad agents, bad drivers, parenting, California politics, farming labor, food prices, and Tosh’s hatred of pickles. Elliott Jams calls in for a full Wordle meltdown over the word “dowdy,” a Global geography game, birthday plans, and his new role with Angels baseball. The episode closes with Drew’s dad cancer update, Tosh’s swallowed bee story, vegan food debates, Giants and fight reaction clips, sponsor shoutouts, and final plugs.
