Hello Randomers and Randomites. With the draft less than two weeks away, our thoughts turned back to football once again, but this time to address the tin foil hat theory aspect of the 2020 NFL season. We talk some theories we've had for a while, some new ones and are pretty sure that we can save the foil for cooking. Keep on being as safe as possible and supporting those local businesses, artists...

Hello Randomers and Randomites. Back to the gaming realm as a very recent announcement caught our attention in regards to what can only be called one of the biggest flops in recent video game history, Cyberpunk 2077. So this week, we take a look at the tumultuous journey that Cyberpunk has been on, from the hype and the highs to what was just announced last week. Keep on being as safe as possible...

Hello Randomers and Randomites. Hoppy Easter to all of you out there in listening land. This week, we take a peek behind the curtain of Easter and take a look back at its beginnings and try to figure out just where all the stuff came from that we know and love in the modern times. The Easter Bunny is still a might suspicious if you ask me... Keep on being as safe as possible and supporting those l...

Hello Randomers and Randomites. The moves are beginning to happen in the NFL, kicking off our most favorite time of year... free agency. Join us as we take a quick look at what's going on thus far, our thoughts and some hopes and/or projections for the coming season. For the record, we recorded this before we saw Alualu reverse his decision and leave the Jaguars and come back to the Steelers. Vict...

Hello Randomers and Randomites. Erin go Bragh. A few weeks back we took a look at the origins and history behind Valentine's Day, so this week we're taking a look back at a holiday that just came last week, that being St. Patrick's Day. We look back at its namesake as well as talk about some of the long held "facts" about the holiday and look at what it's become today, a worldwide phenomenon. Keep...

Hello Randomers and Randomites. It's been said time and time again... what person doesn't enjoy a good list? The answer? No one. Bearing that in mind, I decided to tackle a list. A movie list. The IMDb Bottom 100 list, the 100 worst movies according to the people on the site. In this episode... #100 to #75, getting to the progressively worse. I'm not going full review on them, but more several del...

Hello Randomers and Randomites. Remember the 90s? A lot of us probably do, but we may only remember some of the bad things... things that spoiled an otherwise quite interesting decade. In this first part of our 90s retrospective, we take a look at the movies, music and TV of the 90s, and look at how a lot of it has actually shaped what we're watching and listening to now. Stay tuned for part 2! Ke...

Hello Randomers and Randomites. This week we take a break from football to discuss something a bit more deep. The DNA kits that you can order and send off to get a genetic profile of you. Rye is currently awaiting her results and in this episode, we talk about just why she's so very excited to see the results. That and we naturally talk about history as well. Keep on being as safe as possible and...

Hello Randomers and Randomites. Well the ridiculousness of the 2020 NFL season has come and gone, so we're going to take a look back to briefly sum it up, talk about some of the awards, and talk about what is, in our opinion, one of the best Hall of Fame classes that we've seen in a while. Also, naturally, there's some rage about the end of the season and the outcomes that were, plus some speculat...

Hello Randomers and Randomites. This week, with yesterday being Valentine's Day/Singles Awareness Day, I thought it would be appropriate and entertaining to take a look back into the old history of what we now know as Valentine's Day and see how far away we are from what it actually was in its origins. That and all the thousands of greeting cards that will inevitably line our hamster cages. Keep o...

Hello Randomers and Randomites. Flying solo this week due to some minor technical issues on my end, so as I was looking around for ideas, I figured it would be interesting (hopefully) to pull back the podcasting curtain and give you a glimpse into the dark and scary place that is my mind and do a podcast about making a podcast. Podcast-ception! Keep on being as safe as possible and supporting thos...

Hello Randomers and Randomites. You join us as we dive back into the wonderful world of computer games. This time we take a look at another big video game house, BioWare, and we discuss what they've been up to (for better or worse) and where they could possibly go in the future. Hopefully to a good place but only time will tell. Keep on being as safe as possible and supporting those local business...

Hello Randomers and Randomites. War. Good god y'all. What is it good for? Making movies about. This week we start breaking down some of our favorite genres of movies, why we like them and some of the best films in said genre. This week in the premier one, we tackle war movies. There have been some great ones, and some not so great ones. Give us a listen and see if we missed any of your favorites a...

Hello Randomers and Randomites. This week, Rye joins us to discuss (cue dramatic music) the internet and all of its entities; good, bad or indifferent and the effects that it has had on the lives of basically everyone on the planet. From making it easier to stay in touch with people to making it easier to make lives more difficult for people, we dive into the internet and look at how things were b...

Hello Randomers and Randomites. Gamer Guru Rye is back for another episode of Consoles & Computers. This time we talk about collector's editions of video games. You know the ones. Ones that come with extra stuff and always for an extra chunk of your money. We talk about what we would look for in a really cool collector's edition and look at some of the big ones out there and whether or not the...

Happy New Year, Randomers and Randomites. New year, same old random things. Rye is back this week and we're doing a minor throwback to our childhood and discussing the innovation and glory that is all things VHS, including box art, video stores and our favorite, the thrill of the hunt while looking for things in the days before the internet made things super easy. You know you still have a ton of...

Hello Randomers and Randomites. Gamer Guru Rye is back with us again this week to continue our talk about the glory that is video games. But we wanted to let everyone know that it's not always going to be about the downfall of a company or the destruction of a franchise, so in this week's episode, we discuss one of not only our favorite video game companies but also one of the most important in al...
