The Pod-Cast

As Cameron, Stephen and Bryan were heading home from VGM Con in April, as is tradition when they happen to all be in the same airport as each other, they recorded another episode of Airports are Loud. This time around, the airport was actually quite quiet! Enjoy this somber, chill episode of the Pod-Cast, and pretend you too are in an airport with your best friends. There was no editing to this, and there is no theme music. Cameron uploaded it. Good for him.

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.

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.

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.

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.

You know, when you stop 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.
