Season 2, Episode 26 of The Do-Over Podcast drops Drew Hyatt and Edward Raus back inside Grogg’s Traditional Irish Pub for another Taps & Takes episode, and this one moves exactly how the format should: fast, opinionated, and all over the map in the best way. The first half lives in nerd news, with the guys bouncing from Gremlins 3 and The Batman Part II to Disney’s Animorphs reboot, X-Men 97 speculation, Nintendo’s movie future, and why some franchises should be left alone for good. If you’re new here, The Do-Over Podcast is a conversation-first show built on honest reactions, not polished talking points. Taps & Takes is the branch of the show where Drew and Edward trade quick-hit takes on whatever they’re watching, following, or arguing about that week. In this episode, that means a real back-and-forth on movie reboots, a review of the new Super Mario movie, excitement around Marvel’s Darth Maul series, and a bigger question hanging over all of it: what deserves a sequel, and what should stay finished? The second half shifts gears without losing momentum. Royce jumps in with a full rant about vet bills, pet insurance, and how expensive it’s become just to take care of an animal you love. From there, Drew and Edward get into sports with March Madness winners, a Masters pick centered on Fresno’s own Bryson DeChambeau, a quick baseball check-in, and a longer closer on NBA tanking, the play-in problem, and why late-season basketball has turned into a mess. They wrap by teasing next week’s NFL Draft talk.

Jess is taking a break, so Drew Hyatt and Darren hold it down from Grogg’s Studio for a loose, funny, and unexpectedly honest episode that starts with Nintendo and Easter stories before turning into a real conversation about body count, dating standards, cheating, and the kind of advice that actually ruins relationships. This is Season 2, Episode 26 of The Do-Over Podcast.

If you’re new here, The Do-Over Podcast is a free-flowing conversation show where real-life stories, internet clips, relationship debates, and everyday chaos all end up in the same room. In this episode, Drew and Darren talk through Drew getting pulled back into Wind Waker, stories about being too high at the wrong time, Easter weekend with kids and family, backyard fence painting, stuffing eggs, cooking for everyone, and Drew’s brutal tire morning that turns into stories about sketchy cheap tires, bad road trips, and near disasters.

From there, the episode shifts into Drew’s sobriety, Darren getting roasted for his Starbucks order, and a long conversation about masculinity, body count, virginity, dating in high school, older partners, cheating, divorce, and what honest communication is supposed to look like inside a marriage. They also explain where Eduardo disappeared to, react to a run of internet clips, and close by plugging Pop Fiction at Magus Brewing. Recorded at Grogg’s Studio with support from Grogg’s Traditional Irish Pub.

Season 2, Episode 25 of The Do-Over Podcast finds Drew Hyatt and Darren joined by Amber from Reaper Clean for a conversation that goes from biohazard cleanup and hoarding cases to horrible bosses, career breaking points, and the money struggles that shape people. Amber explains what crime scene cleaning actually involves, shares stories from the field, and gives a real look at the kind of work most people never see up close.

If you’re new here, The Do-Over Podcast is a long-form conversation show built around real stories, sharp tangents, work talk, life setbacks, and whatever the room naturally locks into. In this episode, the conversation moves from Amber’s Fresno cleanup work and a brutal hoarding job story into Drew’s real estate story about helping her land the “vampire house,” then pivots into a full stretch of stories about telling off bosses, rude customers, and the moments people finally hit their limit.

The second half gets more personal. Amber talks about rebuilding her life and business while taking on family responsibility, Darren looks back on payday loans, pawning valuables, and a Christmas miracle in Las Vegas, and Drew breaks down the brutal reality of commission life, including the tiny first real estate check that nearly made him question everything. The episode closes with Elliott calling in to talk Angels baseball, the home opener, whether e-sports count as real sports, and the long days that come with working inside a major league season.
