Join Foodie Mike C and Average Trav as they broadcast live from the Black Dog Retro Arcade in Arlington, Texas! Amidst the loud and crazy arcade atmosphere, they dive into a mixed bag of topics. This episode features their regular "Nerd News" segment powered by the Wellington Theater, covering historical tech events like the Galaxy 4 satellite disruption and the I Love You email worm, and milestones in gaming history like the first Pac-Man machine installation and the announcement of the Atari 7800. They also discuss the "Cartridge Conundrum" segment. The duo recounts their week in the Dallas area, sharing experiences from a Stars hockey game right on the glass (including the chaotic hat trick celebration) and exploring the local food scene at Uchi sushi (highlighting wagyu hot rock and braised short rib roll), Terry Blacks BBQ, Maple Branch Brewery (praising their food and German beers, and chatting with the owner), a cheesecake place with frozen cheesecake on a stick, and Rogers Roundhouse restaurant. They also offer their predictions for the Dallas Cowboys' upcoming season schedule, declaring them undefeated, and recap their sports betting progress (with Foodie Mike C celebrating successful bets). They touch on pop culture like Star Wars, Back to the Future 3 (which Average Trav describes as the worst), and classic parody films. Tune in for a casual, unfiltered conversation covering games, tech, movies, food, sports, and travel from the road!

Level 10 unlocked... of sheer, unadulterated podcast madness! 🤯 This week, strap in as AverageTrav narrowly avoids virtual axe-murder (his wife, not him... mostly), we solve the unsolvable mystery of unwanted free headphones, and ponder the deep philosophical question: 'Peace... from what exactly?' Things then devolve into beer amnesia, ear ball obsessions (thanks, Mike), a super-sexy intro that'll need industrial-strength censorship, and the earth-shattering achievement of reaching double-digit episode numbers (apparently a rare Pokémon in the podcasting wild). BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! Buckle up for divorce stories so bonkers they make Bowser's schemes look reasonable, plus AverageTrav's legendary driving fails, questionable loot choices, and even some impromptu enemy dance-offs! We'll also test your retro brain with a N64 fighter riddle, shout out some awesome folks, and unveil AverageTrav's Frankensteinian cartridge arcade! If you like your podcasts 90% chaos and 10% questionable wisdom, HIT PLAY! And seriously, HELP US WITH THE N64 GAME!
