Autosaved Podcast

Robbie has Covid! While this really sucks for him and his family, we saw it as a golden opportunity to talk to about Covid with some first-hand experience. Robbie discusses his symptoms, how he probably caught it, and the future of this pandemic. I guess you could call it a "very special episode!" Also as a programming note, the Autosaved podcast will be taking a hiatus for a few weeks in December. We're going to regroup and decide if we want to continue next year and in what format. Stay tuned hear or follow @AutosavedPod on twitter for updates. Thanks for listening.

The new World of Warcraft expansion just came out this week, and Chris didn't want to take a break from playing it, so we recorded this podcast WHILE he played it. Rob gave him a World of Warcraft quiz, which he had to answer while also tanking a dungeon he had never seen before. Can Chris's amazing multitasking skills hold up to the pressure? Find out, on this week's episode of Autosaved! Golden Nugget: Arthas sings Let it Go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOGoDfhP6p8

Do you love minion memes? I hope not, because in this episode of Autosaved, we make fun of them for like 30 minutes. We also try our best to MAKE some minion memes! Did we fail? Did we succeed? Would succeeding mean we actually failed? It's so confusing! Also, Four Seasons Total Landscaping, Baby Yoda went to space, and everybody is mad at the Mandalorian now for some reason! Golden Nugget: Baby Yoda arrives at the ISS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PYgk8b3T48

Restaurant dining sure looks different in these uncertain times. We discuss what the dining experience is like in a world grappling with a pandemic. Is it safe? Are companies doing enough? And is Mission BBQ worth the risk? Find out in this weeks episode of Autosaved! Golden Nugget: Bad Sax Solo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=He-sYfNGsv8

Not much happened this week so we decided to talk about some controversy we have heard over the years: Is Harry Potter evil? And why do some Christians think it is but are ok with Lord of the Rings? We discuss these arguments and come to our own conclusions. We also talk about Marshmello's truck chase, minks catching covid, and some other stuff I don't really remember. I feel like there was something else big that happened that we talked about, but I just can't seem to remember what it was. OH YEAH! Here's the golden nugget: Golden Nugget: Dog of Wisdom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-UmfqFjpl0

Happy Halloween/Mandalorian day! On this week's episode of Autosaved, Rob gives Chris a challenge to guess nerdy TV shows and movies based on short clips of their theme songs. Can he figure them out? Also, we talk about all the shocking twists in the first episode of Season 2 of the Mandalorian! I bet you can't guess what happens! Golden Nugget: Guy makes a robot to carve pumpkins: https://youtu.be/X9zXcnSXNF0

We made a list of silly things that Christians do! Do you do any of them? We do, and we talk about it on this week's episode of Autosaved! We also talk about some hotlinks. Did you know they found a nest of Murder Hornets? Did you know there is a website that tells you which McDonalds have working ice cream machines? Listen to this episode to learn more! Golden Nugget: Guy plays Doom on Minecraft sheep: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jNZjtID5vg

YO YO YO! SOAPY FRESH AND DJ CLEAN COMING ATCHA... whoa sorry. That was weird. This week we are talking about the exciting (?) world of board games. Also Rob made up a quiz about which silly board games are real and which are fake. Can Chris tell the truth from the lies?? That seems more and more difficult these days. Golden Nugget: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdTalMWrQ7c

Did you hear about the fly that landed on Mike Pence's head? If not, a fly landed on Mike Pence's head. It was incredible, and all anybody has been able to talk about all week is the fly that landed on Mike Pence's head. Did you hear me?? A FLY LANDED ON MIKE PENCE'S HEAD!!! Golden Nugget: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZrQGOwD404

The spoooookiest week of the year is upon us... if you're a salmon! That's right, it's Fat Bear Week! It's also the first week of October, so... I guess that's something too. This week we discuss the best way to troll nerds, whether you are one, or you love one. We also have a WHOLE lot of hotlinks this week. The internet has been... busy. Golden Nugget: Showing the Earth is round with a camera (the whole video is good too): https://youtu.be/JTfhYyTuT44?t=611

Why do some games stick around while others fade away? Why are people still playing old games like World of Warcraft, Minecraft, and Skyrim? And which newer games seem to have the longevity to stick around? (Hint: It's Fortnite) Find out on this week's very special episode of the Autosaved.org podcast! Golden Nugget: Granny Plays Destiny 2: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9Zwdd-s5cY1cPHB7JiXBTw

Here at Autosaved, we love our games! This week, Rob has cooked up a game all about quotes from famous people, and which Civilization VI technology they correspond to.

This week we are turning back the hands of time and revisiting our first jobs! Grocery stores! Restaurants! Washing vans?? What was the worst, and when does it get better? Find out on this episode of Autosaved! Golden Nugget: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-UmfqFjpl0

This week, Autosaved is coming to you LIVE - directly from the internet! On this episode we answer the question: what would happen if we just surfed the internet and talked about the stuff we saw? And what is that answer? It's another episode of Autosaved! Golden Nugget: GellieMan - Aicha: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLjBCqeYYas

This week we have something special for you: a clip show! This episode features our best bits from episodes 1 through 7, lovingly crafted into 30 minutes of non-stop... whatever this is. Enjoy!

This episode of Autosaved is a little different than our usual ones. Rob and Chris skip the silly intros, Hotlinks, and Golden Nuggets because this week's topic is pretty important: the constant attacks on God in the movie, TV, and video games we enjoy. It's a subject we see all the time in pop culture but have learned to pretty much just ignore it. But should we? We discuss the types of portrayals of God and Christianity in our media, the kind of anti-Christian propaganda we are used to seeing everywhere, and how damaging those kinds of messages can be. It's a little heavier than our usual content, but we think it's important to talk about! Bible verses we talked about in this episode: Genesis 11-25 for the story of Abraham (chapter 15 and 22 for the "stars in the sky" references, 22 is the almost-sacrifice). Psalm 10 for David questioning God (and Psalm 6 is another).

We here at Autosaved are sick of all the arguing on the internet, so we're putting an end to some of the biggest internet arguments once and for all! Which Star Wars trilogy is best? Marvel or DC? iPhone vs Android? Find out in this week's episode of Autosaved! Golden Nugget: Michael Scott sings Into the Unknown: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2tsdfRhtew

In these uncertain times, we could use a little relaxation. Unfortunately, all the good vacation places are shut down due to the pandemic, so we are taking a trip to the one place they can't shut down: our own minds! We talk about some of our favorite things about vacationing, and some of our least favorite. We also talk about lots of other stuff, because that's what we do here on Autosaved! Golden Nugget: Dogs wake up to squirrel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2EwpZsJzC4

It's time to go back... to the internet! This week on Autosaved, Rob and Chris rank the top 12 best internet phenomenon from the turn of the millennia. We also talk about the Nintendo "gigaleak," magnetic fidget spinners, and the US Consumer Product Safety Commission's wild Twitter account. Join us! Golden Nugget: Dog makes Star Wars sounds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBBwXAPNLr0

It's a little early for Talk Like a Pirate Day, but a recent dip of our toes in the piratey waters got us thinking about what is wrong and what is ok these days when it comes to downloading old games (and other forms of piracy). We also talk about internet news! That's... kind of our thing. Golden Nugget: Cat... uh... licker: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07793L9ZZ/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_fBncFbAXPE57Q

We've got a special episode of the Autosaved Podcast for you this week! We are joined by Rob's friend, mentor, and church leader Mark Finley, who is here to share with us some great advice about studying the Bible and making time to pray and get closer to God. It's a little more serious than our usual stuff, but it's also very useful advice! Also we still do the silly stuff like a silly intro skit, hotlinks, and the golden nugget too. Speaking of which... Golden Nugget: Dog imitates Ambulance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TioINDSHcps

Autosaved is back and ready for business! This episode is all about the world of Mobile Games? Are they good? Have they destroyed the minds of a generation? And which ones are best?

We also review this week's internet news in Hotlinks, covering Tesla Shorts, WoW diversity, and more! Golden Nugget: News Bloopers: https://youtu.be/Ty2QdSG9iP4

This week Chris and Rob dive into the exciting world of... middle management?? We've worked a lot of jobs, and had even more managers, so it's time to discuss the different types of managers you run into out there in the professional world. We also discuss Hamilton, Animal Crossing updates, and more! Golden Nugget: Dog Breaks Table: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AXzLdttiUY

This week on the Autosaved Podcast, Chris and Rob challenge either other to guess the video games they are explaining as badly as possible.

Golden Nugget: Robots performing poorly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0TaYhjpOfo

This episode is a little more loose than our usual fare, but it's just how we were feeling so we went with it. We discuss credit card churning: what is it, how to do it, and most importantly, is it morally defensible? We kind of disagree about it! That doesn't happen that often. We also discuss aliens (again), good and bad sci-fi shows, Roblox conspiracies, and more! And yes we know (now) it was Alfred Lord Tennyson, not Shakespeare. Don't @ us. Wait no, actually do @ us. Golden Nugget: LAX 2194 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBaDqNGLgv0

What kind of animal makes the best pet? Today we settle it once and for all! We also talk about some other stuff like... I can't remember! Oh yeah, Rob got a cajon I guess.

It's been 1 year since we started the Autosaved podcast! We take a look back at where we've been and give a tribute to all the fans that got us here. We also talk about the practice of rent-seeking, and whether or not it's something that Christians should participate in. We also address the sensitive racial issues that our country is wrestling with. Golden Nugget: Drumsticks on fire: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jj-pSzqb-Xk

This is our most opinionated episode yet! We have lots of passionate opinions about lots of very petty preferences. Do you agree with our preferences? Let us know! Golden Nugget: Star Wars All Star https://i.imgur.com/dQZaADu.mp4

It's episode 50! For the big occasion, we decided to step back and take a look at what it takes to put a podcast together. We can't tell you how to be successful, but we can tell you how to record some audio and put it online, and isn't that the important part?? No? Oh... well, sorry. We did our best. And we will continue to do our best every week... on Autosaved!!

On this episode of Autosaved, we discuss one of the geekiest pastimes - Tabletop RPGs! Video games not nerdy enough for you? Then D&D or Savage Words might be for you! We discuss our experiences playing these kinds of games, and also the types of players you tend to see in these games. Golden Nugget: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J53UK_bul5Y

This week on Autosaved we tackle the sensitive(?) issue of conspiracy theories. During times of fear and confusion, conspiracy theories tend to run rampant. Even among Christians, who should trust in the Lord and focus on His kingdom, many get easily distracted by the lies and misinformation on social networks, and sometimes even help spread them. How should we guard ourselves against the madness, and what should Christians really be doing in times of uncertainty? Found out on this week's Autosaved! Golden nugget: Saint Patrick's Bad Analogies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQLfgaUoQCw

On this episode of Autosaved, Chris and Rob pretend to be comedians and write a bunch of "You might be a programmer if..." jokes! Is it a good idea? Maybe not! But when has that ever stopped us? Also we talk about Baby Yoda's solo music career, why Elijah Wood's Animal Crossing character looks so boring, and how awesome Minecraft RTX looks! You can safely ignore the first minute of the show where we complain about completely random nonsense that nobody will understand. Golden Nugget: Shayne Smith's standup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2zsmXHAqg8

Everybody is stuck inside and there's really not much to talk about so uh... LAN Parties? This week Chris and Rob take a deep dive on the ancient art of throwing LAN Parties. What made LAN parties great? And could they still be done successfully today? We also spend a lot of time talking about crazy Bill Gates conspiracies and the end times. And sneezes for some reason. Golden Nugget: Fridge Prank goes wrong: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImiWrn92sq0

It's Easter Sunday! But things are a little different this week. This is the first time most churches won't be having Easter services in person. Most churches are moving to online services to deliver their messages. How do we feel about? How have things been going? And how do we celebrate Easter at home? That's the topic of this week's Autosaved podcast! Golden Nugget: Little girl pretends to like her mom's cooking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wn4Kxy6bPI4

Autosaved is back with your regularly scheduled podcast full of Geeky Christian Internet News! This week, it seemed like everybody couldn't stop talking about a show called Tiger King, so we got in on the action too! Rob has watched it, and Chris hasn't, so Rob quizzes Chris with Tiger King facts and Chris has to figure out which ones are true and which are made up. Spoiler alert: if you haven't seen the show, it's impossible to tell! We also talk about working from home, virtual NASCAR, and The Office. Golden Nugget: Boy with a knife: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pjpQot6J7k

You gotta know when to hold em, know when to fold em, and know when to release a new episode of Autosaved, and that time is right now! This week we tackle the weighty issue of Rhett and Link's "Spiritual Deconstruction" podcast episodes that they released not too long ago. It's heavy stuff, but as always we try to keep it lighthearted. Also we talk a lot about the coronavirus, because what else is there to talk about?? Stay healthy everybody! Golden Nugget: Kid Snippets! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdxEAt91D7k

For Episode 40 of the Autosaved podcast, we decided to do something very well thought-out and planned well in advance. And what was our grand plan? To have no plan at all! We completely make up the intro, ramble topics, hotlinks, main topic, and even the golden nugget! It actually... kinda goes ok. We discuss the Biblical basis for ghosts and spirits in the real world! Also we talk a lot about this coronavirus thing. Have you heard of it? Rob's fake golden nugget: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDOMWK2spIw The Real Golden Nugget: Rhett and Link as the Fabulous Bently Brothers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LyWu0arihw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jc6qBvLegzI

Hey check it out, it's another episode of Autosaved! This week, we dive into the Old Testament book of Proverbs and challenge King Solomon to a proverb-off. We take some lesser known quotes from the book and match them up with quotes me made (or found) and see if we can guess which is which! It's fun, maybe? We had a good time anyway. Check it out!

Looking for health advice from two unhealthy fat guys? Well look no further! This week on the Autosaved Podcast, Chris and Rob bloviate about bloat, dish about diets, and gab about grub. Why is it so hard to eat healthy? What do people do wrong when they try to diet? Is exercise all it's cracked up to be? We don't know! Chris ate 2 donuts while he edited this episode. We have no business talking about this stuff. Golden Nugget: https://killedbygoogle.com/

Fair warning: this episode is pretty gross because Cliff is back and we are talking about bathroom stuff! Also we discuss the Corona virus and the Tesla Powerwall. So if you have a high tolerance for potty humor, check it out. This description was definitely not written by a rogue AI bent on world domination! Golden Nugget: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zCDvOsdL9Q

So much internet happened this week that we don't even have time for a main topic! We discuss the tragic death of Mr. Peanut, why you shouldn't do the Soy Sauce Challenge, and how Google and Walmart are going to take over the world. Also Rob tries to get Chris to talk about The Watch, which he clearly knows all about. Golden Nugget: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToO7OXDiV04

It's time for Autosaved! This week, Rob and Chris talk about what it's like to work as a professional Software Developer. We also discuss the Nintendo theme park, which is currently under construction, and Toby Mac's touching tribute to his son. Somewhere along the way we have a moment of clarity about the act of putting out 32 episodes of a podcast that nobody listens to. Hey, as long as we are still having fun, we're gonna keep at it! And that's an Autosaved guarantee! Golden Nugget: Darth Vader as Santa: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R91QF6Xbaow

Listener beware! We wanted to start 2020 of strong, so we decided to take on 4 of the most controversial topics in Christianity for what is sure to be the most divisive episode ever! We lay out hard truths, and if you don't like it... well actually that's not true. The truth is, we don't really know the answers to most of these questions! But we discuss some of the sides and talk about what it's like to not have definite answers, and why that's ok. We also talk about the usual dumb stuff like Jeopardy's Greatest of All Time tournament, new Pokemon controversy, and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle breaking up with the royal family. If this episode stresses you out, don't worry: we have a nice golden nugget to lighten things up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3-L3YwU-iQ

Happy New Year from Autosaved! We are excited for 2020, and we are kicking it off the only way we know how... with a new episode! For this "extra" "special" New Years episode, we take a look back at our favorite Hot Links from 2019, and follow up on a few that have had developments since we last covered them. We also talk a lot about Star Wars... again. Deal with it! Golden Nugget: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Xl0Qr0uXuY

In a first for the Autosaved Podcast, Chris and Rob recorded this episode in person! And since we recorded it on Christmas day, we decided to address the silly stuff about Christmas this time - movies, presents, and whether or not caroling is enjoyable. We also recorded this episode in front of a live studio audience - our wives! Amazingly, they were able to keep down the volume of their uproarious laughter so that you can barely hear any on the recording. Good job, wives! Also one of them may or may not have fallen asleep. Apologies that the audio quality took a little bit of a step back on this one. We only had one microphone to record both of us, so we did our best. Topics: Christmas! Fortnite! Caroling, Christmas Movies, Presents, Snow, Decorations

It's a special Christmas episode that the whole family can enjoy! Actually, the whole family can enjoy pretty much all of our episodes, but this one is specifically about how to keep the Christmas season focused on Jesus. At least, that's what it was supposed to be about. We go off on lots of tangents, spend a lot of time talking about video games and even touch on some politics this time.
