197 - You Know What Clenses The Mind From Witnessing A Near-Death Moment? Go On A Cruise!

200 - People Crave Nostalgia ft. Chingo Bling 🔥👌🏾

200 episodes... who would've thought we'd make it this far without getting canceled or running out of things to argue about? Mario and Bryan celebrate the massive milestone by welcoming comedian, rapper, entrepreneur, and all-around good time Chingo Bling to help make Episode 200 one to remember! The guys jump into the recent news that PlayStation may be saying goodbye to physical game discs in the next few years, sparking a debate over digital ownership, preserving games, and whether we're all just renting our libraries with extra steps. They also soak in the incredible World Cup atmosphere, talking about fans from every country turning the streets into one giant party and why soccer somehow convinces complete strangers to hug each other for 90 minutes. Chingo takes us behind the curtain and explains how he gets into the zone before stepping on stage, shares stories from his earliest performances, and looks back on the moments that helped launch his career. Then everyone tries to figure out why the 1980s refuse to stay in the past, from the music and movies to the fashion that somehow came back looking cool... even if the hair probably shouldn't. Thank you to everyone who's tuned in over the last 200 episodes. Whether you've been listening since Episode 1 or just accidentally hit play and never left, we appreciate every download, every laugh, and every bit of support. Here's to 200 more episodes of questionable opinions, unnecessary tangents, and somehow always finding our way back to video games.

199 - World Cup Shockers, GTA VI Madness & The Internet Losing It!

The 2026 FIFA World Cup has brought the world to North America and to our legendary "churches" of Waffle House, Bass Pro Shops, and Ella Langley country music concerts. After a week into the tournament, Bryan and Mario review the best and worst of the matches so far, with their hype for Mexico and Argentina at an all-time high, and their hope that the USA can somehow shock everyone and make a historic run. Mario takes inspiration from Detroit sports radio and brings the game "Can We Say That?" to the podcast, asking Bryan various World Cup topics about the Scots and their fanbase, why American news media sucks and those visiting the country actually like it here, why Messi is THAT guy, and is Tunisia out of pocket for firing their head coach after just one game? Plus, Grand Theft Auto VI preorders are coming this June, and with the validation that the game is coming later in 2026, the boys (alongside many others) get ready to ask for time off from work and calculate how many billions Rockstar Games will make off the preorders alone. Spoiler: PTO is going to be running dry for every company. Shoutout Burger Motorsports. One episode away from the 200 milestone, and this podcast is out here celebrating soccer, culture, video games, and ready to celebrate. What that will be, you shall see.

198 - E3 is Dearly Missed & Will Our Countries Crush It At The World Cup?

The 2026 FIFA World Cup is here, and boy does it feel like the United States is single-handedly trying to cause international tournaments to never be hosted here again. While hype may vary, the Aliens are super pumped, especially Mario, who has a World Cup trophy in hand to point at the haters and provide reasons for why Argentina will dominate the world again in what could be Lionel Messi's curtain call on the big stage. And Bryan thinks Mexico will have a horrid showing, which may well happen, but it's the World Cup! Stranger things happen, like Haiti having their jerseys illegal. Also on this internationally viewed show, Summer Games Fest has come once again, and while some of the biggest games have been unveiled, the boys think back to a grand time in the golden era of video games, where the show E3 hit like questionable substances and provided oodles of high-quality content. We wish it was still happening. Plus, a void kitty sneaks behind Bryan to study how a podcast is done, a deep dive into the various global spinoffs of The Office, Mario tries to mentally prepare for an upcoming 5k run, and a delicious hit of sum peanut butter craaacckkers. A podcast that delivers on the memes, conversation, soccer smack talk, and cute cats. All before the wackiest World Cup in history (probably).

197 - You Know What Clenses The Mind From Witnessing A Near-Death Moment? Go On A Cruise!

A podcast before a cruise? Oh you know it had to be done! Bryan and Mario give you all another rousing episode before the high seas call our Argentinean man to the shores of south Europe. Mario can't go on his first European excursion without giving us a story on how he witnessed a near-death situation on the road, and how he was having an internal discussion with himself about whether or not that high school girl kind of deserved what happened when you try to beat traffic crossing the street. The guys are also recommended to check out some video games that are so off the wall and crazy, that city governments banned them! Will they still search for them to add to their collections? It may not be a zero percent chance. Plus, Forza Horizon 6 is finally making it to the public, where the dreams of driving and drifting your way through Japan are realized. Just how many hours will be logged until GTA 6 is released? There was some utterly jaw-dropping moments in English lower league soccer, teaching a new follower the ways of our sound effects, and Bryan providing us with some low frame rate action on camera. All this and more from a podcast going on a short break while cruising across the Mediterranean Sea!

196 - A Tornado Makes a Late-Night Visit to See Us…

Mother Nature has been bringing the severe weather to Michigan a ton lately, so much so that tornadoes in the middle of the night are waking people up, just like what it did to Bryan this week! A small tornado touched down within walking distance of his apartment, and Bryan describes on this week's episode his action plan once he woke up to the sounds of sirens and his phone going nuts. Also on this new recording, the guys go over all of the biggest announcements at CinemaCon, with among others Call of Duty announcing a movie, Space Balls 2 putting a title to their long-awaited sequel, and the upcoming Avengers movie dropping a sick teaser. Plus, has the fallout from the sneaky Arizona resort pictures gotten to Dianna Russini, will Project Hail Mary's continued run at the theaters bring Mario and Bryan back to watch the amazing film again, and how on Earth did the upcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender movie get leaked on Twitter (not saying X because it's still dumb)? All in all, another Legal Aliens Podcast episode that is sure to provide the laughs, confused questions, and riveting commentary.
