AARR #50 - 🚪Doors🚪 is "the best 9.9 rated game in Roblox!" w/Wish, Jester and TiMO the disconnected 44:35

9M ago44:35

44:35

At this point, I have to treat these podcast episodes like music album releases. They take a long time to produce for one person, and I just can't churn them out fast enough. So, consider them quarterly installments from this point forward until something changes in our collective schedules here. 😁 Anyhoo, we're back with our 50th episode! Alden an…

AARR #49 - iTunes Reviews from 1834 (or whenever we started podcasting) 19:16

12M ago19:16

19:16

Greetings from the hot state of Texas! This release will be a short, review only episode, with the bigger one coming later in August. This one didn’t require thirty thousand years of production, though my microphone cut out right when we started recording. As such, you’ll see me boosting the audio in post-production and hear me hitting our stupid Y…

AARR #48 - 💀 Item Asylum 💀 with Jester, Romo, YouSawNothing and Tyson, Dallas Library and Vacation Plans for the Summer 43:00

1y ago43:00

43:00

Well hello there! We've successfully figured out a way to release an episode shorter than six months. In involves recording the entire thing and then doing 40-60 seconds to edit it every day. The end result is an episode so overproduced and filled with sound effects that I could probably post 20+ clips on social media. Hell, I don't even remember w…

AARR #47 - 🔨 Flee The Facility! 🔨 with Romo, STARR tests and elaborate essays about substitute teachers 😁 36:51

1y ago36:51

36:51

Well, well well... it only took six months to get this episode done! At this rate, we should hit 100 episodes by the time Alden is 24 years old. That or I can make a million dollars and start doing this full time. Or get an entire production team to make it happen. Maybe both? Anyway... in this episode, we get into Silent Library, STARR tests that …

AARR #46 - ♜ Tower Defense Simulator ♜, Part 3 w/Tyson + Battle Cats seeding tricks and a new dog! 🐶 24:22

2y ago24:22

24:22

I guess we're at a 'once a month' pace of sending these out, which is fine. With Alden's school in full-swing, there may be time to do additional episodes... but no promises. My terrible track record speaks for itself. 😁 In this episode, we talk about Alden's friend who seems to be going a bit nuts, Battle Cats seeding, our new dog and finally, a t…

AARR #45 - WHERE HAVE WE BEEN?!?! - San Diego Trip, BC Updates, Live Draws and Cuss-Fest 34:13

2y ago34:13

34:13

Well it's been a LONG time hasn't it? :D The explanation is simple. Alden was simply enjoying his summer break and I was busy making sure he was enjoying summer break. We did actually record two other episodes but I haven't had any time to produce them (see the above about being with Alden on summer break). So, there are more coming. But for now, k…

AARR #44 - "Chest opening, gift getting joy!" - 🐾 Pet Simulator X! (w/LuvsMinecraft ⛏ ) 1:11:24

2y ago1:11:24

1:11:24

Hi all! I was really thinking about publishing this episode a couple of years from now, given how long you've had to wait for this one. But good news! It's coming out today, and future episodes will be only featuring some aspect of what we do (reviews, daily updates, game reviews, etc.). I won't try to lump them into the same episode anymore, since…

AARR #43 - "Egg opening fun!" - ⚡Clicker Simulator (w/Tyson 💀 and Sunstripe 🍌) 54:35

2+ y ago54:35

54:35

Hi everyone! 👋 Well, I tried. I know a lot of you are wanting episodes every week, but there's always something stopping that from happening. Whether it's Spring Break or yours truly going haywire with all the production sound effects and features in every episode, there's always a culprit. We'll get the hang of it sooner or later. 😁 For now, Alden…

AARR #42 - "Weird but funny!" - Roblox NPCs are becoming smart! (THE MEGA PODCAST!! 🤯) 1:14:50

2+ y ago1:14:50

1:14:50

Heya hiya hello-hah! This episode is really two podcasts in one. The first part talks about our recent trip to Universal Studios and what we thought of all the rides. The second part talks about our featured game, Roblox NPC's are becoming smart! (recommended by Tyson_Something (Thanks! 😁)) and how we were digging the interactions we had with Carl.…

AARR #41 - Tower Blitz is "sweet and sour" 🍎 (with FULL AUTOS 😈) 49:32

2+ y ago49:32

49:32

Hey there! How are ya? 😁 We're getting ready for our family vacation in February and I REALLY needed to get this done and out the door before that happened. That's because I'm usually running around at the last minute getting things I forgot to pack (ponchos, extra masks, etc.) and producing a podcast would be at the very bottom of the 'to-do' list…

AARR #40 - Super Mario 3D World is "parkour fun" (and it's good, according to Srihan) 😁 55:27

2+ y ago55:27

55:27

Hi everyone! I've been really busy around the house and haven't had time to record with Alden. He's been exploring some new games (Tower Blitz being one of them) and waiting for me to wrap up my biz before starting another episode up. In the meantime, here's an episode from a few weeks ago when Alden's friend Srihan came over to spend the day at ou…

55:58

Happy New Year! 🎉 We hope you've been enjoying the holidays like we have and spent a lot of time (virtual or in-person) with family and friends. We certainly did. In fact, I think we had more fun and ate more sweets than we did this past Halloween. 🎃 Anyways, time for another review... and we chose a game we've been playing for about a month. FLAG …

Hi there!Another two weeks and another episode is done. I might as well just make these holiday themed episodes since I seem to get one done every time one comes around. Next month (January 2022) will be my birthday! 🎉🎂 In this episode, we review Polyblast, aka Polybattle. Well, we said Polyblast so many times that the developers need to reconsider…

AARR #37 - Tower Defense Simulator is "frustratingly fun" 😅 47:33

2+ y ago47:33

47:33

Helllooooo!!!! We had another one of those long delays from publishing an episode due to Thanksgiving break, things breaking in the house, giant serpents on the walking trails, cold weather, warm weather and other lame excuses. We recorded this episode about three weeks ago. So when we refer to Veterans Day, it's going to seem a bit like a time war…

AARR #36 - "Wizard Tycoon 2 is Wacky 🤪" 45:35

2+ y ago45:35

45:35

Hi all! We're still surfing the 'golden oldies' section and revisiting Wizard Tycoon 2 from an earlier online broadcast on YouTube and Twitch. We both enjoy it for the team building, wands, brooms and potions you can get while you build up your castle. And now, a story of betrayal... 😔 So here I am, starting to build a castle in Wizard Tycoon 2 wit…

AARR #35 - "Icebreaker is surprisingly satisfying!" 36:24

2+ y ago36:24

36:24

Helllllo everybody! We're a bit late with publishing our 'post-halloween' episode, as we just recorded another podcast this evening. Nevertheless, we get into our costumes, how we terrified small children everywhere in our neighborhood and get into the goings-on happening at school. Oh, and Henry Stickmin too. 😁 And for some weird reason, iTunes te…

AARR #34 - "Piggy, Book 2 is stupid because my Dad killed me." 45:18

2+ y ago45:18

45:18

Hi all! This week, we get into Piggy, Book 2... based on a suggestion from "lol" on our Anchor Q&A. We had some other games to check out, but this one was an impromptu choice to roll with. It's a game we've played before, but was fully updated with a new chapter and different game options last year. And while the title of this podcast suggests that…

AARR #33 - "You gotta be careful with Minecraft." 54:41

3y ago54:41

54:41

By request, we dive into the world of Minecraft! ⛏ Alden and I have been playing on Minecraft for just under two years and have been gaming on it for a while. We've created roller coasters, mine cart tracks that extended for 6000+ blocks, etc. In this episode, we just open up a new world in Standard mode and narrate what we are doing at the time. S…

AARR #32: Weight Lifting Simulator is "Okay" 51:37

3y ago51:37

51:37

You suggested, and we listened (and played). We took a review suggestion for the second time and had a bit of nostalgic fun with Weight Lifting Simulator (as we played it long ago). Lots of interesting stuff involving rebirths and new levels, along with Alden getting his 'Super Cyan' glow as he moved up the strength ranks. Overall, a decent game, b…

Alden's Amazing Roblox Review #31 - "Doomspire Brickbattle is awesome!" 21:56

3y ago21:56

21:56

All last week, Alden was browsing for a few new games to play after his Bloxburg experience from last week. He stumbled upon Doomspire Brickbattle and started playing it a LOT. I could hear him giggling and laughing from the upstairs media room when I was down in the kitchen taking care of after-dinner stuff. Needless to say, he likes it a lot. 😁 W…

Alden's Amazing Roblox Review #30 - "Bloxburg is Dumb" 23:01

3y ago23:01

23:01

Alden insisted I call this episode 'Bloxburg is Dumb', and I have to agree. It was one of the most underwhelming experiences we've ever had playing a Roblox game. No offense to the game developers or the fans of the game... but it sucked. It felt like someone's student project in Roblox Studio with pay gates applied to everything. It was trying to …

Alden's Amazing Roblox Review #29 - Books 33:56

3y ago33:56

33:56

We're nearly a week away from getting back into things with Roblox (hopefully). Until then, it's one more episode focused on Alden's updates and his love of books. It's mostly me going into detail about everything he reads and how much he's read (which is a LOT). If you have book suggestions, do send them my way. Until then, I'll be raiding the loc…

27:39

This week, Alden and I get into his experiences with going to in-person school in Texas during COVID-19 Death Season. He goes through a typical day, his 'nutty' best friend and farts occasionally. We read off a few reviews that have come in for the past week as well. We also have a new email address! You can send in your topic and game requests as …

3y ago42:20

42:20

Yep, you heard right. I finally convinced my son to start recording again and talking about Roblox, Battle Cats, Minecraft and amazing review names like TacoPoopBlast. 🤪 Alden should be back and streaming on Roblox in a few weeks, but we'll have a few audio-only episodes coming up where we talk about gaming, school life, and random topics in a jar.…
