  • Spider-Man Is UNSTOPPABLE… But Marvel Has a Wolverine Problem | Taps & Takes
    Aug 15 2026
    This week on Taps & Takes, Drew and Royce dive headfirst into the biggest movie, Marvel, X-Men, gaming and pop-culture stories of the week—and somehow end up trying to save Drew's marriage with a trip to the movie theater along the way.Spider-Man is putting up absolutely ridiculous box-office numbers, leading to the question of just how massive its theatrical run can become. But Marvel has another problem waiting around the corner: what do you do with Wolverine when Hugh Jackman has become almost impossible to replace? Drew and Royce debate whether X-Men needs to move beyond Wolverine, whether X-23 could become the answer, and why introducing a new Wolverine could overshadow Marvel's entire mutant reboot.Then it's time for the live-action Legend of Zelda movie, including casting discussion, Ganondorf, Sam Neill, Samara Weaving and whether Hollywood can actually pull off one of gaming's most beloved franchises without screwing it up. Drew explains why Zelda has been part of his life since childhood—and why a successful first movie could open the door to an enormous franchise.PLUS: Royce's hilariously expensive habit of falling asleep during children's movies, Paramount's movie promises, Michael Jackson's upcoming biopics and whether they can honestly address the controversial second half of his life, a wild Black Panther tangent, Mortal Kombat getting confiscated by Mom, Marvel fighting games, old-school arcade culture, Star Wars: Visions, Death Note, Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen and Drew finally assigning Royce anime homework.And yes—Royce actually calls Drew's wife Sarah live during the show to convince Drew to take her on a date.Whether you're into Marvel, Spider-Man, Wolverine, X-Men, Zelda, gaming, movies, anime, DC, Star Wars or old-school nerd culture, Taps & Takes is your weekly dose of entertainment news, ridiculous arguments, nostalgia and completely unnecessary tangents.Featuring Drew & Royce.COMMENT BELOW: Should Marvel recast Wolverine, keep Hugh Jackman around, or let X-23 take over?CHAPTERS:00:00 – Welcome to Taps & Takes00:30 – Drew Without Glasses Is Apparently TERRIFYING02:49 – Drew's Weekend Project Goes Horribly Wrong05:25 – Time for Nerd News06:02 – Royce's Oregon Trip Might Be a Disaster07:30 – Drew Makes a Golden Sun Promise08:11 – Royce Is Trapped in “Dragon Rider Porn” 😂10:18 – Taking a Casino Virgin to Tahoe11:23 – “I Just Lost Our House”12:19 – How Much Can You Lose Gambling and Still Call It Winning?13:00 – Spider-Man's INSANE Box Office Run14:37 – Why China Could Change the Box Office Race15:59 – Royce: No Way Home Was Better16:43 – We Call Drew's Wife LIVE18:15 – Royce Tries to Save Drew's Marriage 😂19:18 – Spider-Man or The Odyssey?

  • She Faked an ENTIRE Pregnancy… And Somehow It Gets Worse | The Do Over Podcast
    Aug 12 2026
    This week on The Do Over Podcast, Drew, Jess and Darren dive into one of the wildest collections of stories we've had yet—from bachelor parties, jealousy and girls-night revenge to fake pregnancies, insane Netflix documentaries, internet predators, AI, parenting and some of the strangest people social media has ever created.Jess kicks things off with the story of her husband heading to Vegas for a bachelor party—and why she and her best friend definitely, absolutely, totally DID NOT care. That naturally turns into location stalking, strip clubs, bachelorette-party retaliation, male strippers and one important question: how do you make a man jealous when he simply refuses to get jealous?Then things take a darker turn.Drew gets completely sucked into a weekend of Netflix documentaries, including an unbelievable true-crime story involving a woman who allegedly faked an entire pregnancy—fake baby bumps, fake ultrasounds, a gender reveal, a baby shower and months of lies—before the story escalates into something far more horrifying.The crew also dives into the bizarre story of viral YouTuber EDP445, internet fame, online grifters, outrage culture, influencers saying increasingly ridiculous things for attention, and whether the internet has discovered a cheat code where being terrible can actually make you famous.PLUS: the squirrel saga continues, a child unknowingly adopts a dead crab, parents debate when kids should learn the truth about Santa, the Tooth Fairy apparently has been hit by inflation, AI's effect on the next generation, Roblox jobs, relationship jealousy, Vegas pool horror stories and plenty more.Featuring Drew, Jess & Darren.If you enjoy comedy podcasts, funny conversations, relationship debates, true crime, Netflix documentaries, internet culture, viral stories, parenting humor and completely unfiltered conversations between friends, subscribe and join us every week.COMMENT BELOW: What's crazier—successfully faking a pregnancy for nine months, or someone actually believing it?CHAPTERS00:00 – Things Go Off the Rails IMMEDIATELY03:02 – Influencers, Netflix & Today's Chaos05:12 – Losing the Internet for 2 Days Is Apparently Torture06:48 – Do You Pee in the Pool?

  • HE K**LED THE SQUIRREL?! | The Do-Over Podcast
    Aug 10 2026

    Three guys. One studio. Absolutely no adult supervision.

    This week on The Do Over Podcast, Drew, Royce, Darren and the crew somehow go from arguing about what social-media algorithms think we want, to Oregon road trips, ridiculous targeted ads, relationships, marriage, modern parenting—and one increasingly tragic baby squirrel.

    Drew explains how trying to rescue an injured baby squirrel turned into dreams of becoming a full-fledged squirrel dad… until everything went horribly wrong and the rest of the studio decided there was only one person to blame.

    The guys also get into how algorithms can slowly turn normal people into one-topic lunatics, the insanity of modern targeted advertising, Oregon stories, whether married men should simply learn which arguments aren't worth winning, the great kitchen-sink marital dispute, why parents now need seventeen different apps just to send a kid to school, and the strange things people will admit anonymously on the internet. The algorithm discussion even turns surprisingly thoughtful, with the guys arguing that recommendation systems can push people toward increasingly narrow interests and viewpoints.

    It's friendship, marriage, parenting, terrible decisions, questionable internet behavior and completely unnecessary arguments—the way The Do Over Podcast was meant to be.

    Featuring Drew, Royce, Darren and the crew.
