Welcome back true believers! This week your favorite nostalgia fueled hosts take a quick glance at every something most every nerd has a love of...board games! Yup. Listen, at some point we've all played a board game. We all have family members we stopped talking to briefly because of a Monopoly incident nobody talks about. We've all made the dick move while playing Uno where we've done a draw three, draw four, reversed and THEN tossed down yet ANOTHER draw four (which side note, Taters claims is against the rules)!!! It's fine, it's all love within the safe confines of your favorite board game. Also, board games have a tendency to bring out the best and worst in most of us. We're all ultra-competitive when we sit down for a long four hour stretch of Risk. It is what it is, just enjoy the ride. So, without further ado, we are fueled by our love of board games and we are...FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!

If you're the very unique blend of nerd who loves all things pop culture AND can name every single starting QB in the NFL PLUS you might know where damn near every free agent signed this season then HAVE WE GOT THE EPISODE FOR YOU! That's right, it's FANTASY FOOTBALL TIME!!! LOL yes, we can hear all the traditional nerds groaning and it's FINE, you'll get over it. Also, we absolutely loathe those nerds who call it "sports ball". Good lord man, you've heard of football just call it by the proper name. Pretentiousness doesn't look good on you, loves. Anyways, that's the name of the game this week as Matt has taken it upon himself to create a very fun alternative version of fantasy football! So grab your favorite FF magazine that is no doubt already out of date even though you bought it only a month ago, check all the free agent signings and get your draft board ready because we are headed onto the gridiron this week! WE are..."FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!"

Salutations and greetings, true believers as you have once again found yourselves plugged into the GREATEST nostalgia based podcast found in the HISTORY of mankind! That's right, we are, in fact, sexy and we know it (and now that song is stuck in your heads as it has been ours for a minute now). This week we have our favorite Pop Cultureologist, one Mr. Zach Taylor for a sit down and chat session. Zach is a fascinating guy because he is waaaaaay smarter than all of us. He's one of those people who just knows things and this week we're talking about his and Taters' love of video games. That's right, because let's face it, video games are a massive part of the history of pop culture and just one episode isn't enough. Grab your favorite controller, get your gaming chair positioned just right and make sure you're ready, Player one, because we are headed on the path to video game utopia! All this and more this week on "FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!"

That's right true believers, the man, the myth the LEGEND Mr. Cody Ziglar has returned! This week we chat with Mr. Ziglar about "Spider-Man: Brand New Day", chat about comics and Cody takes a sec to pull back the curtain and chat about his love of Miles Morales, writing for Marvel and She-Hulk AND a little origin story action as we learn how he got started in comics. How cool is that?! Ladies and gentlemen, grab your web shooters, your favorite Spidey costume and get ready to ride the webs as we take you on another ride this week on..."FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!"

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US!!! Yes, we've completed our FIRST FULL ROTATION AROUND THE SUN!!! That's right ladies and gentlemen, your favorite podcast has officially hit one year old. It's amazing when you think about where we came from to where we are now, running around like a drunk toddler, banging into things, making mistakes but laughing the whole way. We've learned so much in our first year but the most important lesson to consider is if you're going to do something like this, do it for you. Do it for the people you're recording with. Don't do it because you think you're gonna get thousands of listeners, do it because you have like-minded people you really like being around and wanna spend time chatting with. It's not always going to be great but it CAN always be fun. That's what this first year was for us. It was FUN and we love that you've gotten to spend it with us. So, without further ado we present our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY EPISODE!!! Enjoy and here's to more FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!

This week we dial it back a bit, no guests, just the ol' tripod coming right at you with some... recycled nostalgia goodness! Your three heroes took the time, so YOU don't have to, to watch some movies based on old skool properties. We cover all things from "Battleship", Masters of the Universe, both new and old, the Barbie movie... just all of it. Anything that's an old IP that's been resurrected because capitalism, we just run through it all. Some of it we loved, some of it we absolutely hated and wish had never existed and some of it was just kinda meh. Regardless, we did this for YOU! Thank you so much for listening as we are FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!

This week we are proud to showcase our latest guest, Johnny G. Wiz drummer for "The Dreamboats"! What a cool opportunity we had to sit down and have a chat about all things music. It's so cool to talk to someone so passionate about what they do and that's Johnny. When we have the opportunity to sit in with us, someone passionate about what they do... the conversation just moves by itself. It should feel fluid and easy and that's how things went with Johnny G. Wiz. We dabbled in everything from where their musical roots hit to the business of making music for a living, to the grind and work that goes into making their particular brand of music. So grab your favorite comb and pull it through your jet black hair, throw on your favorite leather jacket and get ready as we are fueled up and ready to go on this weeks edition of "FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!"

Welcome to this week's edition of Fueled by Nostalgia! This week we welcome author Brian Cave, author of the "Old School Evil" series! Brain fell right in with this crew as we go over everything from old school cartoons we loved, Brian's amazing novels and...platypus milk? Yup, as usual we are a bunch of messy benches (been watching a LOT of "The Good Place", IYKYK) and you are HERE FOR IT. So, without further ado, make sure you've got your comfiest jammies on, grab your favorite bowl of sugary stupid unhealthy 80's cereal, find that remote your dad lost in the couch cushion last night and lock in because we have your attention, at least until Soul Train comes on! Unlike your parents though, we won't boot you outdoors and tell you you've been sitting too long because we know YOU don't NEED that additional exercise because you are... FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!

Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends! We are BACK and this week we are celebrating the 10th anniversary of Pokemon Go! Naturally one of us (Matt) took the assignment seriously and the other one (Adam) presented ideas for Pokemon you can eat. Taters then followed Adam down the dark path he started. Mind you, Matt isn't a better person because he too would not only happily eat Pokemon but he found the appropriate cookbook! The only Pokemon we can't dine on is Squirtle because Taters has a deep familial connection to turtles (message received, all turtle-based Pokemon are off the table. Literally!). All this and we finally find a spot where Adam is DEFINITELY not confident and more on this week's edition of "FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!"

The title of the episode has absolute nothing to do with the actual episode but we LOVE a good pun. This week we talk about summers past, Taters delves into more of her life on the island growing up, Adam talks about having his toe mutilated in a fairly polluted NJ creek while trying to perform a rescue operation on a turtle and Matt throws out recommendations on his new favorite band! We're keeping it light here people because coming up we're ramping up with special guests, some fun games and more! That being said, it's time! Throw your favorite pop tarts in the toaster (strawberry and brown sugar are the only acceptable options in our opinion), press pause on X-Men '97 and kick back while we take you on an oral trip to to summers past! WE ARE...FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!

Here we are people. It's almost that time again when Americans get out and celebrate their American-ness by eating copious amounts of charred food, blowing things up and, for some of us, going full Florida-Man. That happens, and it's fine. We get it, you're stoked about the birthday of your country. On this episode we talk about stuff that's amused us with the World Cup being in North America, watching foreigners eating American foods and realizing their lives are about to become 70% sadder once they're forced to go back to their sad, bland existence (Scotland, England, Norway...we're looking directly at YOU). Grab your favorite America-themed t-shirt, sit back and let us run the grill because today everything is FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!

We got to talk to Christopher Priest and Cody Ziglar!!! How cool is that?! That's right, ladies and gents, here at FBN we don't bury the lead! Phoenix FanFusion 2026 was damn good to us! We're keeping this intro short and sweet, so enjoy as we take you on an auditory journey with two amazing creators, Cody Ziglar and Christopher Priest!!!

It's over folks, and we did not just survive Phoenix FanFusion 2026...WE THRIVED. We got to talk to some amazing guests, meet some great new fans and just have an all around hell of a good time. Taters CLAIMS she doesn't have FanFusion hangover but we think she's just playing tough as she doesn't like showing any weakness (she feels as though her enemies are listening? It's a whole thing.) Anyways, here's a quick rundown as how things went and then over the next few weeks we'll be posting new episodes regularly! Enjoy!

We won't lie, we were a little nervous about our robot overlords taking over (Matt has a great respect for them so long as he can still watch funny animal videos...tbh all three of us feel that way) until we saw that video of the robot just kinda dying on the vine while attempting to moonwalk. This episode we go over our very valid mistrust of AI, Matt talks about being the old guy in line at Culver's and decides to have a very emotional moment while describing his feelings AND we give some deets about our upcoming live shows at Phoenix FanFusion! All this and MORE so even though it looks like our society might be heading to a Thunderdome-style finish where we're all fighting for water and gas don't worry because we've got you covered as we are... FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!

Welcome welcome welcome to the GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH!!! Yes, I might be overselling it but Sun Tzu did say ""Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win". Translation, believe in yourself and we TOTALLY believe in ourselves. This week we did what we do best and that's sometimes just let the conversation be organic. We talked about our first jobs, (the 90's and early 2000's were a weird time for jobs) Matt's love of McDonalds' filet o' fish sandwich, Taters being an honest to goodness CARNEY and Adam's Mom accidentally releasing his childhood pet hamster P.H. into the wilds of his old ass apartment in NJ (R.I.P., P.H. Gone too soon, never forgotten...). All this and MORE on this week's edition of...FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!

Greetings, Combustors (for now, that's what we're calling our listeners. We're trying a thing, go with it)! Here we are, back with another week of nostalgic goodness. Adam, Matt and Taters LOVE their respective Moms, of course, but you know what they also love? RANKING THINGS! MAKING LISTS! This week we ran a draft for our favorite pop-culture Moms and then ran those lists through the interwebs using VERY sciencey/mathematical methodology to determine who's list has the strongest grouping of Moms. You know, that grouping of Moms who might dive headfirst into an alternate dimension to save their kid from a Lovecraftian monster, or maybe that Mom who's willing to fight off an unstoppable cyborg hell bent on killing their kid whilst still in utero. You know, just the things your average Moms will do for their kid. Be ready for anything as we celebrate all things MOM this week on...FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!

Why bury the lead, right? Today true believers we have the honor of hanging out with Zach Taylor! Zach is the Event Producer for Phoenix FanFusion and he is a fount of convention stories and experiences. We are a pop culture podcast and this is 1000% in our wheelhouse. We cover the full gamut of topics, from Matt talking about going to the first ever Phoenix ComicCon (back when it could legally be called by that) to Adam talks about defeating a Spider-Nerd to win the 2007 Phoenix ComicCon Greatest Nerd Award (he doesn't remember what it was actually called) using his mastery of Jeopardy! type gamesmanship. Understand something listeners: things like FanFusion aren't for the weak of foot or slight of heart. When you attend FanFusion you have to know you're going to be surrounded by 130k+ people for three days. You will be moving the whole time and if you step back, take it all in... it's a magical experience. So grab your longbox, your free show program and your comfiest pair of shoes and get ready to walk through an hour plus of entertainment as we talk all things FanFusion! This week we are fueled by FanFusion and we are...FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!

This week we are all about SPORTS! No, we're not talking about the immortal album by the great "Huey Lewis & the News". It's OUR time to shine, Huey and we did just that. This week we're happy to present our first guest, the amazing Dave Barend! Dave can be found at collegebasketballtimes.com and he melded beautifully with our little tripod. So we wish we could say that we didn't just fall head first into movies yet again, but...yeah, we did. Only this time it was sports movies! So that's...different, right? Whatever, we do what we want. Dave is kind of known for ranking things and he did not disappoint. Also, he managed to stump Adam with his knowledge of obscure movies (Adam now has to watch "Cornbread, Me and Earl" and "The Fish that Saved Pittsburgh"). So grab your mouthguard, strap your pads on tight as we hit the field and go over our favorite popular and not quite as popular (see "Maurie", another one Adam has to watch) sports flicks! We love our sports movies but we aren't JUST fueled by competition, we are, as always... FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!

This week we are fueled by our love of MTV, or at the very least what MTV used to be. We examine everything from our old school love music videos to TRL and some of the amazing cartoons featured on Liquid Television. For those of you who missed out on those years, you missed out on The Buggles, Cyndi Lauper being so perfectly weird, the amazingness that was seeing "Thriller" when it came out and the sad beauty that was Sinead O'Connor's "Nothing Compares 2 U". For those who love animation? You were introduced via Liquid Television to "Beavis and Butthead" as well as "AEon Flux" and Adam's two favorite weird ass shows, "The Head" and "The Maxx" (RIP Sam Kieth). This is what we do here. We celebrate nostalgia and everything that comes with and we hope you're ready for a celebration of all things MTV as throw on our spacesuits, find our remotes and prep to plant our flag right alongside the moon man! This is...FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!

You know them, you love them...SPIES! This week we talk all about the spy flicks and tv shows we love. From Austin Powers to Bond to the Dynamic Duo known as Bea and Twila...let's just say if you dig spies and this one doesn't have it maybe you really didn't need it. Also, the triumphant return of TATERS! 100%, this show doesn't work without the third leg of the tripod. We LITERALLY just tip over and start talking about apples, as clearly shown in our last episode. It wasn't bad but we get weird without Taters keeping us stable. Grab your tux, sports car and whatever other stereotypical spy stuff you can think of, sit down with us at the stereotypical high stakes European card game with us and prepare to GO ALL IN WITH POCKET ACES EVERY TIME as we lead you down another ADHD infused episode of FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!
