The Gameboy is 35-years-old this week so we’re taking a walk down memory lane to when we were both Gameboy Boys. We discuss the creator of the Gameboy, Gunpei Yokoi, and his wild ride from messing around making extendo hands to creating the 4th most popular video game system of all time. Also Tom explains what a cartridge is to Tim and they both really hate Tiger handhelds.

There's a new Taylor Swift album, so everyone is required by law to participate in the discourse. We say mostly nice things about Tay Tay in this episode, so we ask any Swifties out there: please don't completely ruin our lives.

OJ Simpson died, which depending on how you felt about him is a good or bad thing. Regardless, he was a really weird dude and was responsible for the biggest media circus anyone had ever seen up to that point during a formative time in our teen years. This week we look back on a bad guy’s weird life.

Everybody's losing their minds about the solar eclipse that's happening this week, super excited that the sun will be blocked by the moon for a few minutes. One thing is for sure -- you definitely shouldn't look at it because it's dangerous, despite what some idiot podcaster might say.

“Free continental breakfast.” Are there three more beautiful words in the English language? This week, Tim’s fresh off the plane from Hollywood and thinks he’s too good for them now. Also, we discuss the various items available at a continental breakfast, but mostly we hypothesize if the bagel conveyor toaster ovens can possibly be improved.

We've never done an episode about Pepsi, despite one host being a certified soda freak, so we're righting that wrong this week and taking the Pepsi Challenge. And as card carrying members of Generation Next™ we have plenty to say about the world's #2 soda brand.

We did an episode on Wendy's last week and neglected to talk about Dave Thomas, the "Where's the Beef?" lady or the attractive woman they had play Wendy in commercials in the 2010s (aka "Sexy Wendy"). We regret the oversight, and offer you this episode where we talk about all that stuff, and Tom contemplates adopting a new lifestyle.

Wendy’s is in the news for trying to use AI to price gouge their customers and we’re here to talk about it.. We also discuss their (mostly) pretty great menu and take a trip down Frescata Lane. If you’re expecting us to talk about Frosty’s or Dave Thomas though, you’re gonna have to wait until next week.

There's a new ridiculous thing in Las Vegas, and it's a big ball that plays videos. This week we're talking about Sphere (not the Sphere, thank you very much), the immersive event venue that makes going to a U2 concert feel like you're on drugs. We also talk about local Long Island musician Billy Joel's new song.

Have you heard about the water cup that everyone is losing their minds over? It's called the Stanley Cup, but it has nothing to do with hockey, and if you drink water out of anything else you're a dumb loser. This week dig deep into the Stanley Cup, Tim gets into a band 30 years too late, and Tom apparently has a new podcast.

It's another holiday week, so we're doing another very special (and very low-lift) Gauntlet episode. What's that, you ask? We asked our Patreon supporters for topic ideas, and in this episode we're once again going through them and deciding which will be future episodes and which ones will go to hell. Merry Christmas.
