The Pod-Cast

VGM Con happened in the lovely, slightly snowy Minnesota and EVERYONE was invited! Ben, Bryan, Stephen and Cameron took a moment out of their fun filled schedule to make a quick pod-cast in the middle of a busy restaurant at the venue. The entire convention was a lovely time, and it felt so good to get the gang back together. We hope to see everyone again next year. Same time, same place!Edited by Ben. Our theme music is The Olive (oil) Gang by coda.

Drink the olive oil. It only burns for, like, 2 hours afterwards and gives Cameron a headache. Yes, you, YOU, drinking olive oil gives Cameron a headache. This is why he always has a headache. The boys also talk about other stuff I dunno, I think Ben’s gunna do music here pretty soon and I literally can’t wait to hear what me makes! He can make light shows for his own music! I gotta tell him thisAnyways, enjoy the episode, and don’t forget: an olive oil a day does things to a doctor. Edited by Cameron. Our theme music is The Olive (oil) Gang by coda.

In this episode of the Pod-Cast, the gang argues over which Pokémon is the best one and Stephen reads off a list of every single previous sponsor. But don’t worry about the show running out of content, because in the grand scheme of things, that’s not a very big problem! Edited by Stephen. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda. This podcast is legally owned by Tai Lopez.

Gather ‘round, gather ‘round and enjoy the ONLY weekly episode of the Pod-Cast that will happen this year! Bryan, Ben and Cameron learn all about some native cultures, why it’s ok to both like and dislike Hades 2, and to top it all off, Ben challenges Cameron and Bryan to a game of THE NEWLY-FRED GAME (patent pending). Edited by Ben. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

Hello fair user! Sit back and relax as you enjoy the tale of three friends who grew, learned, laughed, loved, was, were, is, are and will be in 2023. In other words, please enjoy this Lookback Thingy for 2023!Edited by Cameron. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

The boys (in this case, NOT Stephen) talk about what being a real GamerTM means, and how it has changed over time. They come to the conclusion that you should listen to the episode and find out what they concluded! Cameron beeps three whole times!Edited by Cameron. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

I will now explain this episode of the Pod-Cast with short, two word sentences. I can’t. Remember what. Happens in. This episode. We also do Spoooooooky Story TimeTM, and it’s a hoot. Like an owl! HOOT HOOT.Edited by Cameron. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

I am late to go make dinner so I’m going to make this quick. Edited by Bryan. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

Boy oh boy it’s time for another Pod-Cast, and you know what that means! It means we all recorded a Pod-Cast together! Join us for Ben’s painful musings, Stephen’s lovely musings, Cameron’s grumpy musings and Bryan’s Muse musings (he never talks about Muse). If this description was too vague for you, that’s a bummer! Edited by Cameron. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

Knock knock, who’s there, it’s Cameron, he is visiting his best friends Stephen and Bryan at their home! (If anyone else claims to be Cameron’s best friend, our lawyers will shove them off a balcony.) At the end of a long, summery trip full of jolly games, delightful adventures, and screaming (sometimes all at once), the three Pod-Casters sit down to to remember whatever their heat-addled brains have managed to retain. If you can remember anything they forgot, please email us with the subject line: “I WAS HIDING IN THE CLOSET THE WHOLE TIME”Edited by Stephen. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda. Our theme music isn’t All About That Bass by Megan Trainor. In case you were wondering.

Stephen and Cameron are HERE. They’re HERE and they’re HAPPY to TALK about THINGS. Stephen informs Cameron that their old catch phrase isn’t a thing anymore, they create their own game show that is only interesting to them, and then they continue to talk about various video games including the BlueTM BlurTM SonicTM himselfTM!Edited by Cameron. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

Bryan and Cameron join up to chat about a game they’ve been waiting half a decade to talk about. So that naturally takes up a good chunk of the conversation, but they also have time to contemplate what the purpose of humanity is.Edited by Bryan. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

This time around, the entire group HAS played The Last of Us Part Two (sorta) and really have mixed feelings. So they talk about those mixed feelings for like over an hour, wherein all of their true feelings come out in full force. Cameron says a bad word, but for emotional emphasis it is not edited out. We apologize for nothing. Except the title of this episode. It’s literally bad. We apologize for that. Edited by Cameron. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

Does Cameron have an addictive personality? Can Bryan steer the conversation away from live action Dilbert? Will Stephen watch the entire collected works of Spongebob Squarepants?MAYBE.Edited by Bryan.

Hey there, fellow human listeners! Get ready for an exciting episode of our podcast where three close friends, Ben, Stephen, and Bryan, sit down for an engaging conversation that is definitely not generated by any AI.In this episode, the trio discusses some fascinating topics that are close to their hearts. First up, they dive deep into the world of Bionicles, reminiscing about their favorite characters and storylines from this classic toy franchise. But don't worry, this isn't just a dry recitation of facts - these guys have some seriously passionate opinions about Bionicles that will have you laughing and nodding along.Next, the conversation turns to religion, and you won't want to miss the insights and perspectives these three bring to the table. They tackle some tough questions about faith and spirituality, and while they don't always agree, their discussion is always respectful and thought-provoking.But that's not all - the episode wouldn't be complete without some lighthearted moments, and that's where Professor Oak impressions come in. You read that right - Ben, Stephen, and Bryan all take turns doing their best impressions of the iconic Pokemon professor, and trust us when we say it's hilarious.So there you have it, folks - an episode that covers everything from childhood nostalgia to deep philosophical questions to silly voices. And just to reiterate, this description was definitely not written by any AI - we're all just good old-fashioned humans having a good time. Tune in now to join the conversation!Edited by Bryan. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

Warning: This episode has small uses of strong language from Ben and Cameron. Cameron is too lazy to edit it. They’re both very sorry. This episode’s title and the following summary was, again, written by artificial intelligence ChatGPT in the speaking style of “being quirky”: Welcome to the '2022 Reflections' podcast, where we reflect on the wild ride that was last year and discover how to live a healthier, happier, and more content life. Join us as we chat with experts, share personal anecdotes, and maybe even bust out a dance or two. It's time to say goodbye to our old habits, embrace the quirks, and start living life to the fullest. So, grab a green smoothie, put on your favorite workout gear, and get ready to get inspired. Let's get healthy, get content, and have some fun, on '2022 Reflections'!The AI just doesn’t get us, eh?Edited poorly by Cameron. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

This episode’s title and the following summary was written by artificial intelligence ChatGPT in the speaking style of Stephen: Hey there, Whales are Whales fans! It's Stephen here, and I am beyond excited to announce that we're starting off Season 9 with a bang!First of all, you'll notice that our intro banter has been written by none other than an AI! It's pretty wild, but I gotta say, it's definitely the most impressive intro we've ever had.In this episode, we're discussing some of our favorite games from 2022. I don't wanna give away too much, but let's just say that we've been having a blast with a certain fantasy RPG that shall not be named.But that's not all! Ben has a brand new segment for us, all about acronym trivia. I don't wanna give too much away, but let's just say that I learned a thing or two about SCUBA diving.And finally, I'm sorry to report that Cameron has completely lost his gourd. I don't know what's gotten into him, but he's been acting pretty strange lately. But hey, that's just part of the fun on Whales are Whales!Thanks for tuning in, and we'll see you next time on the Whales are Whales Pod-cast!Edited by Stephen. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

Bad news everybody. We aren’t on speaking terms with Sonic or Kratos. Their recent products have bummed out Stephen and Cameron respectively, but silver lining? We get some good old fashioned video game discussion out of the double breakup. There’s also a surprise guest later in the episode who is Ben. Oh darn, now there’s just a guest later in the episode. He introduces the concept of PIES. It’s very exciting. Bryan’s there too btw.Edited by Stephen. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

Uh oh I forgot how to write intros. Let’s try a joke. Why did the sardine… um… I don’t have a joke. Wait, let’s do a list. Here’s what happened on this episode of the Pod-Cast:Stephen and Cameron compared medical complaints and Ben was very supportiveThe concept of time is found lackingStephen built a computer and told a neat little story about itCameron told a spooky story all by himself and we’re real proud of himOther thingsHere’s a list of things that didn’t happen on this episode of the Pod-Cast:Financial adviceTips & tricks for holiday decoratingA zany footraceCelebrity impressionsA fifth fictitious itemEdited by Stephen. Sound effects from FreeSound and BOOM Library. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

Only if it’s advertiser friendly!Edited by Cameron. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

Cameron had a good idea. It may be rare, but when it happens, we need to properly respect it. So we did the idea that Cameron had which was good. He (Cameron) suggested we talk about self-identity through time, and how your perspective on your own being and existence is vastly different depending at what point you measure it. So we did that.Edited by Bryan. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

Boy howdy did we try a lot to get this episode out! After two failed attempts, finally Cameron and Bryan are here once again to fill your ear holes with musings about video games and music! It’s good fun. Edited in two seconds by Cameron. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

Konnichiwa, folks! Are you feeling linguistic today? Then boy are you in for a treat, because Stephen is doing a questionable job learning Japanese and leads his buddies Bryan and Cameron down the merry road of misguided self-guided education. It’s an illuminating conversation that eventually devolves into an argument about video game genres, so don’t worry, they haven’t gotten “cultured” or anything. There’s even an appearance from an old friend who screams habitually, so all your bases are covered.Edited by Stephen. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

Please enjoy the first double feature in Whales are Whales history. The runtime of Season 8 Episode 6 is one minute and twenty-four seconds and consists of unadulterated inanity. The runtime of Season 8 Episode 7 is I dunno about an hour and a half and consists of the history of video games in full. Be amused. Be educated. Be true to yourself. <3Edited by Stephen. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda. Cameron’s Christmas List:

You know, when you stop to think about it, Batman is a bit of a silly concept. This amazing shower thought and more is discussed in this episode of the pod-cast, as Bryan, Cameron and Stephen sit down to comment on the Bat’s newest outing! Cameron also investigates a weird smell. It’s a good time. Edited by Cameron. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

Cameron’s dad bought a new boat! (boat!) Cameron bought a new car! (car!) Bryan actually showed up for an episode! (episode!) Benjamin has tattoo-related religious trauma! (trauma!) It was a good time.Edited by Cameron. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

Cameron and Stephen join forces to do talking and stuff I’m sorry I’m just so tired this week has been a roller coaster and I could barely get this uploaded ack ack ack next time stephen is going to upload the episodes so he can write a real description anyways they talk about Elden Ring love you see you next week month.Edited by Cameron. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

Two quick notes before we start! Ben is on satellite internet, which means there was a weird audio delay in our speech! Sorry if it sounds like we’re talking over each other, it was laggy for us too. And secondly, Ben is on the show… which means there is cursing, and I didn’t want to edit it out. Cameron and Ben join forces once again to have riveting discussions about their general health, being bachelors, having kids, and a LOT more health discussion actually wow they really go hard on talking about what is wrong with them, what are they, OLD lol yes. yes we are old. Thanks. Edited by Cameron. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

Here at the ending of one year and the beginning of another, Stephen, Bryan, and Cameron sit together in a circle to share stories and reminisce about the past 365 days but it’s actually a triangle because there’s only three of them. Please, by all means join them— and have a pretty good 2022 while you’re at it! Edited by Stephen. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

Today the Pod-Cast is brought to you by Stephen and Cameron, known the world over as “the Fozzie and Kermit of podcasting”. Nobody is quite clear on who is which. The two old pals reminisce about their own sketch comedy productions for half of the episode before talking about themselves for the rest of it. However, they each bring a topic of personal importance to round out the conversation: after watching three Studio Ghibli films, Stephen finds himself deeply moved thereabouts the soul region, while Cameron regales a tail or two vis-à-vis Dungeons & Dragons. This is not a Christmas Special, but you are allowed to pretend it is. Edited by Cameron. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

What better way to celebrate the Hallowing of Weens than sitting with your best of friends and talking about Resident Evil 4 and telling very questionable ghost stories? This is not a rhetorical question. Let us know in the comments.Edited by Stephen. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

He’s a good man. And he joined us to talk about Dreams and nightmares. It’s a doozy of an episode.Edited by Bryan. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

Nope, sorry, Stephen left again.Edited by Bryan and Stephen. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

Join Cameron, Bryan, Ben and Stephen for a fun discussion about game difficulty, Shakespeare and a surprise return (or a reprise?!) of Burn Notice! Sadly, Stephen decided, half way through the episode, that he’d had enough of the rest of the panel’s shenanigans and left to never return until next month if he’s feeling up to it. So those of you hoping to hear from Stephen for longer than 30 or so minutes, sorry. Maybe next time. Edited by Cameron (on a weird setup, sorry if the audio is not mixed perfectly). Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda. Additional music by Incompetech.

Ben returns with glad tidings and a scathing critique of the Capitalist system! Cameron got a new car, but that seemed inappropriate to mention during the anti-consumerism segment of the show, so he politely waits until the end of the show to update us on his exciting life news. We end things by trying to connect with the younger generation, which was very sus.Edited by Bryan. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda. Additional music by Incompetech.

Everybody’s tired but we show up anyway, because we’re professionals. We spend a long time talking about why we’re so tired, then wrap things up with a little chat about our earliest creative projects and how we view them. It’s a delightful discussion, and we hope you enjoy it!Edited by Bryan. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

This week, Cam-eron takes over the Pod-Cast for a quick, 30 minute solo cast! Yes, many of the members of the Pod-Cast are unavailable, but Cameron thought he could fill 30 minutes himself! Did he succeed? Or did he immediately regret this choice? The answer is sorta somewhere in the middle. Show NotesEdited by Cameron. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

LIFE! SNAP…is like a lime. (we’ll be back soon with a real episode!)

WARNING: CURSING IS INVOLVEDBenjamin joins us this week, and much to Bryan’s dismay he decided it would be fun to curse several times throughout the episode. Unfortunately, Bryan was unable to find and remove these curses while editing, so we have officially lost our privileged status as a family show. Our plot to usurp and replace Sesame Street has been brutally stolen from us, and we have no choice now but to be edgy and cool, like Family Guy but with no animation or script.Also, we talk about animals and video game personality surveys. It’s a good time!Show NotesGamer Motivation Profile: https://quanticfoundry.com/Edited by Bryan. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda. Additional music by Stephen and Cameron.

Cameron breaks his self-imposed exile to talk about why he’s been in self-imposed exile. Stephen shares a hip, modern, dark take on the Princess and the Pea. Bryan tries to lift the mood by talking about how cool that new Microsoft game box is. Oh, and Mario!That’s pretty much the episode.Edited by Bryan. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda. Additional music by Stephen and Cameron.

Cameron has become wise in his old age, advocating for careful planning in financial decisions and a dedicated regimen of exercise. Stephen has plumbed the depths of his dream psyche to boost his own self-esteem and discover newfound confidence. Bryan has found a new way to botch the intro. Self-discovery is the name of the game this episode, oh and we also talk a bunch about our history with music.Edited by Bryan. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda. Additional music by Plus One, True Vibe, Skillet, Decyfer Down, and Celene Dion. It was a doozy.

Stephen, Bryan, Cameron, and Ben join together to reflect on the year gone by. It’s all in the title! Oh also, it is very long, but worth it. So do your civic duty and give it a listen.Edited by Bryan. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda. Also that very cool Disturbed concert.

In this surprise, bonus episode, Cameron tricks Bryan into recording an extra Pod-Cast episode, when in reality it’s actually the FIRST of our HEROES OF THE STORM SEMI-ANNUAL TRIVIA GAMESHOW! It’s… EXACTLY what it sounds like! Cameron spends nearly 45 minutes testing Bryan’s HotS knowledge, and in the end, SOMEONE has to play the Lost Vikings in Quick Match. What a WORLD. SORRY about all the CAPS in this EPISODE. I”M EXCITED. If… if you don’t like Heroes of the Storm, literally no one would blame you for not listening to this. Lazily edited by Cameron. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda. All other music is from the Heroes of the Storm Youtube.

A prophetic dream from Stephen signals the beginning of his one-man Nickelodeon career, but he probably should have saved his energy for all that battery chattery. Did you know it’s in cars and headphones now? Cameron knows, and he invites everyone into his dad’s new used Fiat 500e to tootle on down Anecdote Road until it stalls out at the Road Stop of Cautionary Tales. As the vehicular metaphor slowly morphs into storytelling verbiage, Bryan leaps into host-like action to moderate a discussion on revisiting familiar fiction. There are also, at several points, jokes. Edited by Stephen. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda. The SpongeBob music is from SpongeBob.

Let’s be real here for a sec. It’s just Bryan and Cameron again. They have a good conversation. Bryan botches the intro. Cameron botches the outro. Stephen botches the whole episode by not showing up. But you know what can never truly be botched? Episode descriptions. This one’s a winner.Edited by Bryan. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

Two drastically different topics appear on this month’s episode of the Pod-Cast. Cameron and Bryan bring back the classic Starcraft Talk segment, which is a surprise to even the counsel of Aiur. Afterwards they delve deep into a discussion about “cancel culture” and how humanity… basically hasn’t changed since the beginning of time. Edited by Bryan. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

They’re back again! This time, with a brand new segment! Actually, they’re back with FIVE new segments, but like… four of them are bad, so whatever. Then the boys (just boys, because we lack diversity) talk about schools and life during the pandemic, and other various assortment of things that’ll be sure to excite your life!Edited by Cameron. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

Bryan, Zach, Stephen and Cameron join together in what will surely be an earth-shattering moment to discuss their lives with each other! They talk about how stressed millennials are, how old Stephen is, and why open world games are sometimes terrible. Rounding the episode out is a NEW TWIST on story time that’ll be sure to leave you. Edited by Cameron. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

Bryan had been sick, Cameron had been unable to sleep for weeks. As July fast approached, it looked like a podcast wouldn’t be able to happen… BUT LARK! Bryan and Cameron both randomly happened to have energy one night, and they were like “hey wanna do a podcast?” The rest is history.SPOILER WARNING! Cameron does talk about some Last of Us Part 2 story stuff. We mention it in the episode as well before we talk about it. That is all. Have a nice day.Edited by Bryan. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

Bryan and Cameron are tasked with a unique challenge this week: have a conversation. Will they succeed? I’m not about to spoil that! But if they were to hypothetically succeed, they would do it by discussing hard drives, which subscription services they’re currently using, and the fundamentals of game design. And you know what? They probably did a pretty darn good job too. Guess you’ll have to listen to find out!Edited by Bryan. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

How injured would you have to get before you go to the hospital? Do Baby Boomers exist? How many Sonic Generations mods does it take to break a computer? Are there any health benefits to hummus and kelp? With questions like these keeping the collective unconscious awake at night, we do our public duty and answer them in a slow and meandering manner that’s as charming as it is pointless.

Fun!Edited by Bryan. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

Stephen, Bryan, and Cameron celebrate two months of consistently making episodes by discussing where and how they learned to be such capable, reliable, stand-up gentlemen. Also: Cameron gets really mad about sponsors and it’s funny.Edited by Bryan. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

HAPPY NEW YEAR BWEEEEEEE (that’s a noisemaker, not a fire alarm). Bryan, Cameron, Zachary, and Stephen come together to talk about past experiences in 2019, the future of the Pod-cast in 2020, and… I guess the present, too? Except we recorded this a couple weeks ago, so that gets kind of dicey in a linear time sense.Edited by Bryan. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

Cameron and Bryan go suuuuuper long on this episode of the Pod-Cast! They spend most of that time recounting the most memorable (or maybe not-so) games they played over the past year, and the rest becomes dedicated to discussing how their Christmas vacations went! We hope you enjoy! Have a happy new year!Edited by Cameron. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

We’re trying a new “Descriptive Episode Title” idea. Which means we don’t need these darn descriptions anymore, right?!Edited by Bryan. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

Cameron has a fun fun game show idea that he actually stole but is still super fun. Stephen and Bryan have decided to go along with his wacky hi-jinks and see what he has in store. Good times ensue!Edited by Cameron. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

Leave it to Stephen to make an attempt to no longer be a goof ball, only to fail immediately by being a goof ball. Man, what a goof ball. Edited by Cameron. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

In this special flash back episode, we’re taking you back to (almost) the beginning! If you didn’t know, before the Whales are Whales Pod-Cast, this group did another podcast called TheDVCast! And because we’re weird, we recorded a BUNCH of audio dramas! Four of them in particular are Christmas specials with a continious story, and we wanted to share them again with you all, in case you hadn’t heard them yet! In this episode, you’ll find Part 1 AND Part 2. Part one is called How A Little Podcast Saved (And Nearly Ruined) Christmas. Part two is called A Christmas Kerfuffle. The next time we post a Flashback episode, we’ll do Parts 3 and 4! We hope you enjoy them!If you’d like to skip directly to A Christmas Kerfuffle, it starts at exactly 44 minutes and 55 seconds. Originally edited by Stephen. Rearranged by Cameron. Lots of other credits that I’m too lazy to pull up.

If you want nuance listen to the episode!Edited by Cameron. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

So it ends as it began, with just Bryan and Cameron actually being available to make something. They reflect on what it was like to actually record episodes again, and fittingly finish things off with a high-quality well-produced excellently-pitched sponsor. What does the future hold for the Pod-cast? Well, we kinda talk about it in the episode, so listen to that.

Ben and Cameron were super nice fellas and joined Bryan for another recording of this here pod-cast. Bryan spent most of the episode trying to transition into their exciting segment, but instead getting distracted by talking about parenting, Netflix, and how Netflix can make for really bad parenting.

Good question! We may or may not have good answers, but you get to listen to find out! Lucky you!Edited by Bryan. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

Good news! Bryan and Cameron are back again. Other good news! Bryan actually plans to put out an episode every week this month. We can’t promise anything past that, but no need to get entitled. >_> Edited by Bryan. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda. Tim made us some fanart to celebrate our return! We are eternally grateful. Also Cameron is a mattress. What, you don’t remember the reference?

You know how when you’re at the airport with your friend and suddenly realize you never ended up recording that podcast episode while he was in town and spontaneously decided to record a one minute episode twenty minutes before your friend gets in an aeroplane and flies away halfway across the country? Well, this is that. Edited by Nobody.

What happens when Bryan and Cameron stop playing Heroes for a week? They record a podcast, because they’re afraid otherwise they will never talk to each other again! Which would be a shame, because they have really good conversations. So here’s one of those! You’re welcome.Edited by Bryan. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.Music from https://filmmusic.io "Onion Capers" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com) License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)

Stephen, Cameron, and Bryan all happened to coincidentally see the same movie (crazy!), but you know what’s more important? Food. Food and segments. Food and segments and sleep apnea. But they get around to that movie thing eventually!Edited by Bryan. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda. All other music is from Incompetech. 

Continuing the trend of Bryan barely managing to scrape together a co-host, Zachary joins our intrepid leader to talk about video games and stuff! (Though mostly video games.) Bryan decides to test the extent of Zachary’s gaming cred by seeing just how many of 2019’s hottest hits he can name. (Spoiler: He loses because he didn’t know Two Worlds 3.) Edited by Bryan. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda. All other music is from Incompetech. 

Surprise! We can do weekly episodes after all! This is the episode that very nearly didn’t happen, but inspired by a sleepless night of examining his own brain, Cameron sent Bryan a message and asked if he wanted to talk about memory and music and stuff. Bryan said “cool man”, and a true classic was born. Edited by Cameron. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda. All other music is from Incompetech. 

As we wait for the full group to gather around and officially ring in the New Year (which may indeed take until February), we still managed to spend some time on the cherished tradition, What’s Up With the Whales. It may not be a flashy episode, it may not even be an entertaining episode, but we valued it, and so should you! Edited by Bryan. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

Stephen and Bryan ring out the holiday season with a number of wonderful new traditions, such as: Making sleigh-bell sounds Speaking only through carols The Lyrical Miracle And at least two more!

In a stunning turn of events, Bryan and Zachary manage to actually record and produce an episode! This is not a drill, nor is it a prank, a “gotcha”, or a bamboozlement. Enjoy! Edited by Bryan. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda. All other music is from Incompetech.

One day, a Stephen was walking through the forest when he came upon a Bryan. The Bryan said: “Wanna do a pod-cast?” The Bryan was suspiciously cheerful about this notion, but the Stephen played along, because he did not like conflict. However, the Stephen did not realize he would be doing the pod-cast with a Cameron. The Cameron ate the Stephen and laughed and laughed and laughed. The Bryan smiled and asked the Stephen if he was having a good day. The End Edited by Bryan. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda. All other music is from Incompetech. 

What truly makes an episode of Disembodied Voices? Is it the quartet of Zachary, Stephen, Cameron, and Bryan? Is it talking over each other in an attempt to tell funny funny jokes? Is it talking about video games for slightly too long? By any of these definitions, this qualifies, so I guess we don’t need to worry about it after all! :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) Edited by Bryan. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

From Fraiser to the 1953 Iranian coup d’etat, no one outside of a creatively minded conspiracy theorist can say Stephen’s interests fit together. But neither does this podcast! Stephen, Cameron, and Bryan are in good spirits, which means they discard sense of order and cohesion to instead talk about their lives and maybe a little bit of Destiny. It’s a good time and listening to it will make you a good person, we promise. Edited by Bryan. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda. All other music is from Incompetech. 

What began as a joking prompt for Stephen to recite his semi-encyclopedic knowledge about Frasier Crane became an actually interesting 45-minute long discussion about sitcoms, cynicism, and reliving the past. We also talked a little about Frasier Crane. Edited by Bryan. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda. All other music is from Incompetech.

Doesn't that sound nice? Edited by Bryan. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda. All other music is from Incompetech. 

Cameron likes to argue. Bryan likes to make that impossible by totally seeing both sides and coming to a warm and hopefully mutually beneficial compromise.  So why not start a debate podcast? Edited by Bryan. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda. All other music is from Incompetech. 

Cammy Ron and Benjo are buddy cops in the making as they share a guffaw or three and kick back a glass of good times. Whether they end up on the path to marital bliss or a rude awakening all comes down to how they answer a bunch of questions. Bet you super fo sho didn't see that one coming.

Bryan's sudden disappearance halfway through the episode forces Cameron into a seat of power he was neither expecting, nor prepared for. Join Cameron Nutter, Stephen Kelly, Zachary Walton, and that one fish guy in a gripping coming of age story that will leave critics stunned, and audiences even stunneder. Also we talk about video games. Edited by Bryan. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda. All other music is from Incompetech. 

Are you ready for a great show description?         Too bad. :D Edited by Bryan. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda. All other music is from Incompetech. 

The whole Pod-cast crew is back together, although unforeseen circumstances mean Bryan and Cameron have to take on most of the conversational workload. AS USUAL. Fortunately their metaphorical quiver of metaphorical talking arrows is metaphorically full, so prepare to be entertained by means of getting shot repeatedly. The usual conversation topics of concerts, Heroes, and whether Cameron can ever use a calendar do indeed come up, but we also leave the reservation and explore the wild hinterlands of Cameron's potential future as a mime, which is perhaps the most overlooked topic to date.

Guess what everyone?! It's actually in the show notes this time! Enjoy. Edited by Bryan. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda. All other music is from Incompetech. 

E3 has come and gone, and all the Whales are Whales crew can think about is not video games. Well, except for Zachary, Cameron and Stephen - they have video games on the mind and they're writing about them on the padded walls they call interior decoration.  On this week's Unnamed Video Games Podcast, the aforementioned Whales are Whales members go through all the big games announced at E3 and provide some hot takes. Does Zachary actually care about any of the games announced? (Spoilers: Yes!) Is Cameron going to play Anthem? (Spoilers: Probably!) Is Stephen excited for Team Sonic Racing? (Spoilers:  Definitely!) Be sure to listen all the way to the end to hear Ben's exciting opinion on Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.  Opening song: Aria of the Velvet Room - Persona 3 Dancing Moonlight Ending song: Devil Trigger - Ali Edwards

Zachary and Cameron are back to talk about E3 on this week's Unnamed Video Game Podcast. While the rest of the Whales crew doesn't want to talk about video games, Zachary and Cameron decided to talk too much about them to make up for it.  For the next two and a half hours, enjoy pleasant (and profanity laden) conversation from your two precious boys as they tackle everything E3 from EA to Nintendo. There will be opinions and facts. Will you be able to sort them apart? Will their predictions for the big show come true? Will Zachary get his Xenoblade X Switch port? Will Anthem actually be good? Only time will tell, but they'll tell you what they think in the meantime.  Please enjoy! 

Perhaps the biggest mistake since accidentally killing Bryan was accidentally not doing that after all. The King of Hosts himself joins the gang (aka: his brother) for a Rollicking Good Time which is our official pseudonym for Questions Questions Questions! Get ready for some outrageous, hilarious, and totally BONKERS commentary from the bros as they answer randomly generated and seemingly mundane questions about themselves and what they think about objects in this here universe!

Hi, it's Zach (and Zach pretending to be Cameron)!  You may recall a few months ago we were doing a little bonus show called WASD. It was just a place for Cameron, myself and our friends when willing could gather around to talk about games instead of the stuff or things we would talk about on the pod-cast. After a while, we knew we wanted to turn it into its own show,  but we just weren't sure on the form it should take.  Thus here we are today with the Unnamed Video Game Podcast (Box Art Not Final). It was born from a dumb joke in the episode you're about to listen to. After recording, Cameron and myself kind of liked the ring of it so we're sticking with it for now. Of course, the box art isn't final so we could end up changing the name at any time.  But for now, just sit back and enjoy this spoiler-filled discussion on God of War (2018). We do have a small discussion at the beginning about our histories with the franchise for those who still want to listen to something without being spoiled, but you better jet as soon as that's finished. We drop the biggest spoiler in the game right after the spoiler wall goes up so you've been warned.  Oh, and feel free to let us know what you would want from a video game podcast. This spoilercast is sort of a special occasion. We would like to record a few episodes going over what we're expecting from E3 in the coming weeks, but please let us know what form you would like that to take. Cameron and I both have ideas, but we'd love to hear from you as well.   Well, that's about it. Enjoy!

Okay, so we're pretty sure Bryan is dead. Fortunately, however, he left in his last will and testament a requirement that Cameron host Season 4 Episode 8 of the Whales are Whales Pod-cast! Gotta love how that guy thinks ahead. Ben and Abigail join Cameron for the eulogy as they opine over haircuts, nerve-wracking job interviews, and the physical details of Abigail's apartment! What, did you expect to find pictures here? Edited by Bryan. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda. All other music is from Incompetech. 

It's been nearly two years since Cameron and Bryan's fateful trip to California. Apparently they enjoyed each other's company enough to try another road trip, and this time they brought friends! Stephen and Abigail join the pair on a long long long trek to Cameron's homeland of Oneida, Kentucky. We hope you enjoy listening to CKAKKKCKAKFKACKCVKEKCEKCKE oops we recorded in the wind Edited by Cameron

Have you ever looked at Bryan and thought: "man, that fellow has a whole lot of problems?" Well, despite being mildly offended, I am also happy to inform you that this is THE EPISODE FOR YOU! Ben and Abigail join forces to fix Bryan's problem one problem at a time. That was especially fortunate since we only had time for one problem! So listen in to see how Bryan can go from bad and horrible to a functional human being in half an hour! Edited by Bryan. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

So this episode kinda shoulda gone up a month ago, but things (lots of things) got in the way. So enjoy this exclusive look at NEVER BEFORE SEEN AUDIO FROM THE WHALES ARE WHALES ARCHIVES THAT EXPOSES ALL about what Ben, Cameron, and Bryan thing about nostalgia, Pokemon, and Telling Compelling Stories. :) Edited by Bryan. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

Abigail, Bryan, and Cameron are on a seemingly mundane road trip when something goes horribly, terribly, TERRIFYINGLY wrong. Stuck at a seemingly abandoned motel in the scraggly foothills of western Kentucky, they soon find themselves battling for their very survival, and THEIR SOULS. (aka, their eyeballs it's super scary) Edited by Bryan.

Bryan wasn't on the episode this week, so he has only a cursory knowledge of what was discussed! But he's at least fairly certain words were involved at some point, or at least distinctly word-like utterances. At a best guess, though, he would venture to say it included video games, neat things that only '90s kids know, and lots of mostly pointless screaming. He would also venture to say it sounds like a grand old time and you should give it a listen! Edited by Bryan. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda. All other music is from Incompetech. 

Despite knowing each other for at least seven decades, Bryan and Cameron came to the startling realization they had never asked each other any questions. Intent to fix such a glaring gap in their legendary friendship, the pair set out to ask each other a few kinda interesting questions and call it a day! Edited by Bryan.

The comedy quarter is back! Get ready to guffaw yourself silly as Ben, Bryan, Cameron, and Stephen zing you with zingers and chuck you some chuckles. Oh, we also talk about trading card games for about 40 minutes. But it's actually pretty interesting! Edited by Bryan. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.

Having failed to properly exchange Christmas, New Year's, or even Valentine's Day gifts, the irrepressible Whale crew decided to use the birth of NASCAR as a surprisingly appropriate excuse to finally give each other their long awaited gifts. And they were even late for that. Oh well. Edited by Bryan. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda.
