  Lake Monsters, Toe Thumbs & Men Who Can’t Date | The Do-Over Podcast

  Oct 2, 20261h 28mS2

  Can some men actually be too dumb for a healthy relationship? And more importantly… what the hell is hiding at the bottom of the ocean? This week on The Do-Over Podcast , Drew and the crew somehow travel from Tami becoming an unexpected YouTube sensation to giant fish, the Loch Ness Monster, surviving Megalodons, aliens living in the ocean, dinosaurs with feathers, relationship disasters, anxiety, terrible exes, internet incels and the disturbing reality of toe thumbs . Yes. Toe thumbs. Drew also gets surprisingly personal about his history with panic attacks and how he learned to recognize and manage them, before the conversation takes another turn into COVID-era insanity, careers, money, relationships and some classic stories from Drew's radio days. Then things get unexpectedly heartfelt when Drew talks about missing someone who became one of his closest friends and how much their friendship influenced his sense of humor — immediately followed, naturally, by the show destroying the sincerity with jokes. And eventually the crew tackles a study suggesting that some men may actually be too dumb to maintain healthy relationships , which leads directly into incels, online hate, dating standards and the highly questionable proposition that maybe society needs a tiny bit of bullying again. It's relationships, nostalgia, anxiety, conspiracies, questionable science and complete nonsense — basically exactly what happens when nobody on The Do-Over Podcast stops the conversation before it gets out of control. Subscribe, comment and tell us: Would you rather swim with a giant prehistoric fish… or date someone with toe thumbs?

  Men Crying, Internet Haters & GoldenEye Rage | The Do-Over Podcast

  Sep 30, 20261h 21mS2

  Are men allowed to cry? Is everyone online secretly a hater? And if you picked Oddjob in GoldenEye… can we even trust you? The Do-Over Podcast is back with Drew and Darren for another completely unfiltered trip through dating, relationships, parenting, internet hate, nostalgia and the kind of conversations that somehow get way more serious—and way more ridiculous—than anyone intended. After her last appearance got such a strong response, Tami Murakoshi calls back into the show with an update on her dating life and reveals her new approach heading into 2027: focus on getting fit, making money, and stop making men the priority. Naturally, Drew immediately begins planning the return of Tami and the possibility of letting the podcast help screen potential dates. Then Darren tells the story of a friendly golf trip that went spectacularly uncomfortable when one friend finally snapped after receiving one piece of unsolicited real-estate advice too many. That conversation somehow leads into something considerably deeper: men showing emotion, crying in relationships, mental health, fatherhood and whether vulnerability is actually attractive—or an “ick.” Then come the haters . Drew looks back at criticism from his radio and real-estate careers, why putting yourself publicly on the internet requires a thick skin, and why dismissing every negative comment as jealousy can be just as unhealthy as obsessing over them. The guys also get into the changing world of radio and podcasting, why traditional radio has struggled in the era of on-demand media, and why broadcasters increasingly need to understand video, podcasts and digital content to survive. And because this is The Do-Over Podcast, eventually everything devolves into GoldenEye, Oddjob, couch co-op, Dreamcast and the lost art of sitting in the same room screaming at your friends while playing video games. Featuring Drew & Darren. Subscribe, comment, and tell us: Is crying on an early date an automatic red flag? And more importantly—did YOU pick Oddjob?

  Nintendo’s Secret Zelda Plan, Wolverine’s Problem & Kids With Hammers | Taps and Takes

  Sep 26, 202654 minS2

  Did Nintendo just leave clues that the long-lost third chapter of Zelda’s Hero of Time saga could finally happen? And have modern video games completely lost the plot chasing live-service money? Drew and Royce are back at Groggs Traditional Irish Pub for another Taps & Takes, starting with Guinness, “splitting the G,” and a full-blown Zelda rabbit hole before things get progressively more ridiculous. The guys break down the theories surrounding the Ocarina of Time remake, Majora’s Mask, the missing third Hero of Time game, and whether Nintendo could actually be building toward something much bigger. Then it’s time to talk about the state of gaming. Bungie is trying to win players back, Marathon may need a serious rethink, Destiny content is coming back, and Drew argues that gamers are finally reaching their breaking point with endless live-service games, microtransactions, and unfinished releases. From there, Wolverine enters the conversation. Is ultra-violence enough to carry an entire game? Or is Wolverine actually the perfect “dad game” —something you can turn on, wreck some enemies for 20 hours, finish, and get back to real life? That turns into a painfully relatable conversation about getting older, having kids, and no longer having eight hours a day to grind through a video game. The guys also revisit BioShock, explain why Monster Hunter’s difficulty is part of what makes it great, talk about the early buzz surrounding Resident Evil, and somehow finish with birthday presents, a child sleeping with a giant hammer, Laser Quest nostalgia, Great Danes, and one kid learning the hard way why you probably shouldn’t antagonize a dog. Just another completely normal episode of Taps & Takes . Featuring Drew & Royce.

  Dating After Divorce, TikTok Men & The Male Loneliness Epidemic | The Do-Over Podcast

  Sep 23, 20261h 33mS2

  Dating after divorce is already complicated. Dating in your 50s while TikTok critiques your every opinion? That's a completely different level. This week on The Do-Over Podcast , Drew and Darren are joined by Tami for a brutally funny, surprisingly honest conversation about modern dating, relationships, divorce, emotional baggage, the male loneliness epidemic, and why finding a genuine connection seems harder than ever. Tami opens up about re-entering the dating pool after divorce, being selective about who gets a second date, falling hard for someone she thought could change her entire future, and what she learned when it fell apart. She also brings us inside her viral “Crashing Out With Tami in the Car” moment and the avalanche of opinions that followed online. That leads to a much bigger conversation: Is there really a male loneliness epidemic? What do women actually want from men? Can independence make dating harder? And how much baggage should you realistically expect when dating later in life? Darren even offers the perspective of someone who's been with the same person for years—including why understanding how your partner wants to feel appreciated matters. But this is still The Do-Over, so somehow we also get the phantom bathroom pisser, parenting teenagers, awkward homecoming dates, Drew's unbelievably short childhood “Birds and the Bees talk,” real-estate tangents, fantasy football, Drew's ongoing war with spiders, and another round of questionable facts. Come for the dating disaster stories. Stay for the unsolicited relationship advice. Would YOU survive the modern dating pool? Tell us in the comments.

  We Should NOT Have Survived This | The Do-Over Podcast

  Sep 21, 20261h 19mS2

  How did any of us survive childhood? This episode of The Do-Over goes completely off the rails as Drew, Royce and Darren trade some of the dumbest, funniest and most unbelievable stories they've ever told on the show. Drew revisits his legendary road-trip bathroom disaster before somehow turning the conversation into an insane story about taking three sisters to a Queens of the Stone Age concert in San Francisco. Then Darren reveals why he currently has a CYST ON HIS EYEBALL, the guys debate getting older, late-night eating, marriage and the strange reality of finally getting the house to yourself when you have kids. But then somebody asks the dangerous question: What's the dumbest thing you've ever done that probably should have ki**ed you? That leads to falling off construction equipment, swimming through culverts, a helmet literally preventing a potentially fatal injury, Drew's childhood ammunition story and another story involving a homemade explosive going off far sooner than expected. Seriously...how did we make it to adulthood? Then it's reaction time: raccoons, Tesla drivers, ridiculous vanity plates, bizarre rare images, terrifying ocean currents, and Royce casually revealing that he honeymooned in the Maldives. Because apparently that's just a normal detail to casually drop into conversation. It's The Do-Over Podcast’s questionable decisions, brutal roasting, ridiculous stories and three grown men wondering how they survived long enough to have a podcast. Subscribe, drop your own "I should've d**d” story in the comments, and send this episode to the friend who somehow survived being a teenager.
