BeansTalk

We're changing the format with a spoiler-filled look at Metroid Dread!

Summerslam, Punk and more!

Recorded Saturday, 7th of August. We're back with another Beans to discuss everything and anything about the video games.

Lots of questions, so many rumours.

Magic the Gathering AND DND? Samus?! A Steam handheld?! All this and weight loss talk!

Jacob, Joel and Lauren catch up over boba tea, the recent releases by WWE and all the latest in the world of wrasslin'. 

We're a little off course, but here's 4 and a half hours of chat about games.

E3 is almost here and yes, the boys are looking over at the smattering of events happening in the next week or so! There's chat about Biomutant, Mass Effect and Disney stuff? For your Grapplin' Beans, please see the bonus podcast as we're splitting them up!

Jacob and Joel catch up on the week's happenings in wrestling, including the WWE releases, further discussions about the recent episode of Dark Side of the Ring and of course, a look at the league.

Joel's been playing Biomutant, Jacob's deep in the galaxy for Mass Effect!

This week we cover the goings on in the world of wrasslin', including WWE's layoffs, the forbidden door being left ajar and of course, talking about how shitty The Ultimate Warrior truly was.

Ready for us to talk Resident Evil, Nier and Returnal? Well, you better be.

This week we discuss New Jack, Nick Gage's episode of Dark Side of the Ring, the PPV from WWE and AEW's inside issues.

Pillman Part 2! RAWs, Smackdowns, AEW!

A very late upload, my bad! Work stuff, ammirite? Anyway, Oli had his poo taken, Jacob's got his voicemod working and Joel's trying to make sense of the news.

Toilet stories, breaking down of Nier, Pokemon photos and a new PS5 game!

This edition of the Grapplin' Beans is brought to you by a discussion of depressing documentaries. There's not much chat about WWE's events this week, as they're all dogshit. Okay, bye!

Jacob leads the charge as we discuss the happenings in the week, as well as the uneventful world of WWE. Seriously, we discuss more about other stuff, than we do what we're running a league about.

This week Joel and Jacob tackle the new Mortal Kombat movie, while we dive deep into the depths of Danganronpa's creator, those Humble Bundle changes and some topical discussion about the news.

Commissioner Jacob is back with a whole host of new teams, but the same bozos at the wheel.

We're back! A bit of a wild show, but in like, a cosmically confused one.

Jacob takes over hosting duties for this special season finale of Grapplin' Beans, as the crew make their way through the two night spectacle and NXT.

It's another week, but the show has changed! We're leaning hard into the 'segment' stuff now, so enjoy a full wrestling conversation, gaming talk and an in-depth dive into Godzilla vs Kong! 

Jacob's taking us through the week's events, while we talk the main events of WrestleMania, Drew McIntyre, Crispy Bray and just what happened to the womens' booking?

Oli's out with allergies, so Lauren, Joel and Jacob discuss what they've been playing, rate Jacob's makeshift microphone stand and best of all, get back on their bullshit.

Wrestlemania is fast approaching, so why does it look a lot like an indie show circa 2002? Jacob recaps the week's events, while Joel has issues with the graphics being used and Lauren is making plans. 

We're trying some new stuff on the podcast, so we've decided to drop the news segment. Yes, you'd think this would result in a shorter show, but guess again.  Discussed this week is Zack Snyder's cut of Justice League, Jacob's ploughing through Pokemon games, Oli might actually finish a game and Lauren is really excited about her hoover.

By the time you hear this, Fastlane will have happened.  This week, Jacob runs through the scores, while we try to figure out where Shane McMahon got his goo from.

This show was incredibly chaotic. Like, even with the data loss, we still managed to talk about the entirety of Twilight, chocolate and of course, just a smidgen of video games including Loop Hero, Pokemon, Resident Evil 3 Remake and Bravely Default 2.  This week's podcast ended abruptly after Zencastr lost some of our data.  This show is short because of that. Apologies and we'll be back next  week with more BeansTalk.

Look, where the fuck is Rhea Ripley? I can't believe I'm still in last place by 205 points.  This week's podcast ended abruptly after Zencastr lost some of our data. This show is short because of that. Apologies and we'll be back next week with more Grapplin' Beans.

Joel has absorbed the knowledge of things and begins to blurt it all out. Meanwhile, Jacob has been in Raccoon City, Oli is still in Chapter 1 of Bravely Default 2 and there are rumours of a Switch Pro on the way.

Commissioner Jacob is back with another round in the ring. Lauren's out with an injury, but Oli and Joel are booked to job to the whims of a geriatric old man. Come for the roundup, stay for the extraordinary memory Oli has of 2009 TNA. 

This is the bonus podcast for this week and will be available either inside every edition of BeansTalk or in its own separate bonus clip every week!  Jacob takes us through the draft process, as the teams come together for better and for worse.

It's a new week and we did in fact take a single week off from this show! Why? Well, too much shit kept happening, that's why. Zencastr also changed, so if it feels like Oliver and Lauren are on another timescale, it's because it's forcing video upload at the same time as the audio, causing them to be delayed. It's wonderful. We'll figure it out soon (their legacy site still exists for the time being). Either way, enjoy us talking at length about the goings-on for the last two weeks, Valheim, Bravely Default 2 and that Outriders demo.

Two beans return to talk about billion dollar corporations, a plumber and an alien in a blue box. All this and more on this week's podcast.

Did you know Michael Owen is a weirdo? Well, the Beans are back together and discussing anything and everything.

Joel and Jacob are back as just the two beans to talk everything with Yacht Club Games' newly published game, Cyber Shadow, while Joel has been playing Atelier Ryza 2. But don't stop there, because a Joel and Jacob duo podcast would be nothing without a 45 minute interval to talk about anything but video games, so they chat about the state of wrestling. Also, Joel's gotten into the finance sector and poorly attempts to explain how the stock market is working.

Look, this podcast is going off the rails ever so slowly and I'm here for it, dear listener. However, we do discuss Hitman 3, Resident Evil and the week in news. There's also a bit of preamble about death and Facebook, as well as Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares. 

The gang return for 2021's first actual episode (the rest of the game of the year stuff is coming in the coming days!!). While Jacob, Lauren and Oli have played Octopath Traveler, Joel's got some hot news to chat about.

Jacob, Joel, Oli and Lauren break into the new year with a discussion of the games that hit them the most in 2020. Come for the talk about games, stay for the opening talk of sick.

Look, we won't lie here: most of this show is entirely about Cyberpunk 2077. Joel and Oli get into the mix, while Lauren literally has a nap and Jacob goes for a poo.

Joel and Jacob take on the news of all those delicious announcements from the corporate overlords, as well as discussing Cyberpunk 2077, Prodeus, Fire Emblem NES and League of Legends: Wild Rift!

Joel's been playing some bad games, while Jacob's getting into that there Mortal Kombat. Meanwhile, Oli and Lauren have been playing some hot new games!

This week Oli and Lauren rejoin us to talk Fire Emblem (again). Joel's recapping his adventures in Disaster Report 4 and Jacob has all those sweet new PS5 ports and games!

Just the two of us again, as Jacob takes us through his new PS5 in exceptional detail, while Joel talks about Disaster Report 4, a game so terrible that he's in love.

This week Oli has a cold, so comes to us live from his cocoon, while Lauren chats about Fire Emblem and Sims 4. Jacob's finished WWE Battlegrounds, invested in that there Hearthstone and Joel's still on his SUDA51 kick.

Oli and Lauren rejoin us to regale us with tales about Death Stranding and Ooblets. Joel talks No More Heroes again, while Jacob catches us up on finishing Crash Bandicoot 4 and everything else he's been playing!

It's just a two bean salad this week as Joel and Jacob work their way through the news about Cyberpunk 2077 being delayed, WWE taking Twitch away from their contractors and a massive tangent about content creators past, present and future. We also answer Lauren's Question of the Week.

Oli is on assignment, so it's up to Lauren, Joel and Jacob to fill in his very large shirt. We talk Alan Wake, Control, Death Stranding, the latest adventures in WWE Battlegrounds and Lauren's Question of the Week.

There's about half an hour of preamble here about Noel Edmund, Soul Calibur and Cameo. The actual show goes through PS5 UI, Control, Hades, Lauren's Question of the Week and Jacob's regular WWE Battleground update!

Adam Parker joins us to talk about Genshin Impact, Hades and FIFA 21. We also discuss those ten games no longer playable on PS5, as well as Mortal Kombat 11's Rambo DLC.
