So a plumber, a mushroom, and a dinosaur walk into a bar ...
That sounds like the beginning to a pretty stupid joke, but I bet that you at least know that it's a Mario joke. The reason being, is that the little plumber and his crew of made up friends are so iconic, so well known, that even the mere mention of them as what they are -- not even their names -- elicits a response in your gamer brain.
I say that makes Mario and his crew kind of a big deal. Hopefully, you think so too and will enjoy this week's show. A part one of two separate episodes dedicated to the life and times of the industry's most recognizable mascot: Mario. (Luigi gets some props, too.)
Highlights!
- Any mention of SMB3, ever, causes us to reference The Wizard
- Chad <3's Super Easy, but only when Super Hard is available
- That sounded way more dirtier than I thought it would
- Switchball: Good game, dumb name
- For Word Puzzle we've created a new scale for suck: The Yaris scale
- Find out why Rev thinks Manhunt 2 is "hypocritical bullsh1t."
- IN CASE YOU WERE THE LAST TO KNOW, SMB2 IS REALLY DOKI DOKI PANIC
- Which is better, Mario 3 or Super Mario World?
- Hooray Tanooki! Hooray ... enormous balls??!
- Talking bad about Princess Peach causes Chad to use bad, bad words
- I totally knew the second sentence sounded dirty
Well, that's a lot of highlights from this week. But since we took a week off (sorry Charlie!), we became so overjoyed at being back together, that we just had a blast. Check out our blastness over on our
podtoid page, or just subscribe to us via iTunes and become part of the collective (Borg implants not included).

*bad as in amazing
It might take me a while to get to this, because I’m not even halfway through the two-and-a-third-hour monster that was the most recent Podtoid, but rest assured, I eventually will give it a listen.
Oh, really? I seriously had no idea. Wow. They could have at least tried to animate that or something. :)
Also, Famicom? :)
1. anything with more than 4 legs
2. ANGRY CHAD
*note to self: never mention the name "D****" around Chizzo
@Toph: 1000 bonus points for your reasoning. I agree, brunettes DO do [i]it[/] better. D**** FTMFW
@Chizzo: You get my copy of Zelda 2 for NES.
:makeupsex:
Don't feel bad, I had no idea either until somebody pointed it out to me.
Oh, and the flying comes from them 'gliding' on their massive nut sacks.
No joke. Check of the movie Pom Poko to see what I mean.
I look forward to settling it once and for all with mario+sonic @ the olympics. mud wrestling is an olympic sport, right?
Anywho...
Hey how can I download the older episodes? I cant seem to locate any podcasts older than the Metroid special. Simply put I need more RFGO in my life!
Of course it's an axe ;)
Noble: Thanks for making it through a whole show. We would have video if we could, but it would be well beyond the AO rating. Chad is literally, way too good looking for mortals to see, he will blind you.
Dex: I consider SMW2 a true Mario game, it's just that I've never played it. Yet.
Sliced crack rules.
screw Daisy
And +1 vote to Peach, sure, she might be a cock teasing bitch but imagine if she didn't enjoy being captured and rescued all the time. We would only have games like "Mario learns some etiquette" and "Mario's Diplomacy Adventure", instead of Super Mario World we would have gotten something like "Super Mario United Nations Summit" =/.
YES! CHAD YOU ROCK! Finally someone of relevance who recognizes the perfection of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island! I've been trying to tell my friends that it's the best Mario game for years and they all look at me like I'm speaking heresy. In fact, it is my #1 game of all time because of its level design.
I raise a glass to you, o King of the Dolphins.
