The UFC's Fan Problem | Ep. 498

#ufcfreedom250 #tupac #kanyewest Topics of the Week: - Before UFC Freedom 250, we discussed why the fanbase this MMA monolith has cultivated is starting to turn on Dana and the company at large. - Ye, the artist formerly known as Kanye West, is touring Tampa and Senator Rick Scott is trying to get the whole shebang canceled. - Prolific Japanese game studio, RGG, is continuing to unveil its next big project, Stranger Than Heaven --- a game set in the early to mid 20th century. And apparently features a digitally resurrected Tupac Shakur. We talk the ethics of this move (or lack thereof). - Cheers of the Week: Gen Z filmmakers & Vince Staples with new album, Crybaby BotW: Duvel Tripel-Hop Belgian-Style IPA

The Mandalorian Fails, Game Prices Soar, & We're Getting Another COD | Ep. 496

#themandalorianandgrogu #callofduty #steamdeck Topics: - The Mandalorian And Grogu made lots of money, but failed to be the blockbuster that Star Wars needs --- falling to smaller budget, indie horror movies. - Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 was just announced with an action-packed trailer. As two former COD fans, we talk about the differences that may make this next entry worth a look. - Speaking of gaming, Valve's oft-praised Steam Deck handheld just got a huge price increase, but it's far from the only cost hikes we've seen in video games. Is one of our favorite hobbies being priced out for everyday people? - World-renowned game studio, Rockstar, saw its workers unionize after allegations of crunch. Cheers of the Week: - The New York Knicks & Ed O'brien's Blue Morpho Beer of the Week: - Playalinda Brewing Company O'rango Tango IPA

Drake's 3-Headed Monster | Ep. 495

#drake #iceman #musicpodcast Topics Of The Show: - Drake drops three albums at once, some of which address the elephant in the room: his historic aura loss to Kendrick Lamar during the great rap battle of our time. Are any of them good? Is it too little too late? We dig in, digest, and discuss how we think Drake's first major comeback project shook out. - Does the UFC finally have some real competition? If you ask Netflix and MVP, plus millions of concurrent viewers, they just might. The recent fight event headlined by the likes of Francis Ngannou, Nate Diaz, and main event, Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano, seemed to be a big success on paper. But is it a real contender to pull eyes from the reigning champs of MMA? - We're already getting news about this year's Halloween Horror Nights...and Brewskis, news is good. We're officially getting a Sinners haunted house, a power play for Universal, leveraging Ryan Coogler's Oscar-winning crowd-pleaser. Cheers of the Week: The Boys & The Notorious B.I.G. Beer of the Week: Magnanimous Brewing Juice Lord Willing Quintuple IPA

Do The New Strokes Songs Kinda...Suck? | Ep. 494

#thestrokes #thepunisher #mcu As two of the biggest fans of The Strokes, the first couple of singles have got us scratching our heads. Is it just Julian and Co. experimenting in new directions? Or signs that this album will be an indulgent, vocoder-laden mess? We also get into Obe's first trip to his ethnic homeland of Puerto Rico, the Punisher's latest outing with the MCU, One Last Kill, Zach Cregger's upcoming Resident Evil movie, and a host of other bibs and bobs as we sip three P.R.-exclusive brews straight from the Caribbean. Cheers! Beer of the Week: Ocean Lab Brewing Co. SJU San Juan Lager, Maya West Puerto Rican Lager, & Condado West Coast Pilsner (collab with Tripping Animals Brewing).
