Abbey Road Studios in London, England was the world's first purpose-built recording studio. Opened way back in 1931, this building and the people inside have been at the cutting edge of recording technology for over 90s years. Abbey Road Studios is most famous for being where The Beatles recorded almost all of their music, but it also drove innovation with stereo recording, multitracks, editing, and the shift from analog to digital recording. In addition to all of those amazing Beatles records – which we'll get to – some other stuff recorded at Abbey Road includes Dark Side of the Moon and albums from Kanye West, Lady Gaga, Oasis, the Hollies, Radiohead, and the Zombies. Music scores for Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Marvel movies, and video game soundtracks for Halo, Call of Duty, and World of Warcraft. They even recorded some of Winston Churchill's famous speeches during World War II to help keep morale high. From classical roots to rock rebellion, Abbey Road's always been ahead of the game, rewriting rules along the way. So kick back, feel the beat, and join us as we explore the studio that turned sound into a revolution. Let's roll! Episode Playlist Check out our episode playlist here.

Despite the ongoing hardware "crisis," plenty of next generation hardware news continues to leak out of Xbox. This time, we have Project Magnus courtesy of Moore's Law Is Dead! Set to release in 2027, this console will (as expected) feature some Windows elements and go head-to-head with the pre-built PC market. To help break all of this down, Jimmy Champane of Deck Ready is here. Beyond Project Magnus, we get into a newly released piece of Xbox hardware in the Xbox Ally. Is it worth your money and what does it tell us about the future of Xbox's unified Windows approach? A lot, it seems! Beyond that, we tackle a new-ish structure for the show, covering everything from Xbox to PlayStation and Nintendo. Much of our show is shaped by you, so we hope you enjoy the inclusion and look forward to reading your thoughts.

Before Fortnite and Call of Duty ruled the scene, the US Army quietly shaped the early 2000s with a wildly popular, free shooter designed to excite young people about enlisting.Hidden Levels is a production of 99% Invisible and WBUR's Endless Thread.

For decades, the U.S. Army has been on edge about recruitment, hitting its goals for a few years, only to miss them again. As part of their strategy to combat recruiting concerns, the Army has turned its focus online: to the world of gaming and competitive eSports. With nearly 80% of Americans between the ages of 13 and 28 playing video games weekly, the Army has identified this community as a vital demographic for potential recruits. The core goal of this outreach is to use gaming as an entry point, which is nothing new — the precedent was set decades ago. With the end of the draft in 1973, the U.S. Army found itself faced with new recruitment challenges. Campaigns like the “Be All You Can Be” ads of the 80s were popular and led to short-term bumps in recruitment, but they didn't last. The Army failed to meet its recruitment goals in 1998. It failed again in 1999. In response, a U.S. Army lieutenant colonel spearheaded the development of America's Army, a free-to-play first-person shooter launched in 2002. The game was designed to offer a "virtual test drive" of Army life. Before the players could enter the full combat portion of the game, they were required to complete certain training modules covering topics like physical fitness and weapons use. The game was designed to reflect the Army's values and structure. And despite the game's promise to represent the true Army experience, the relatively limited depiction of gore and gruesome violence raised concern from some critics. Other critics, including anti-war activists and the ACLU, condemned the project for "gamifying war" and serving as propaganda that targeted impressionable youth by design. America's Army became a significant cultural and recruiting success, accumulating over 1.5 million downloads in its first month and eventually earning the title of the "Most Downloaded War Video Game" from Guinness World Records with more than 42.5 million downloads. After a two-decade run, the U.S. Army officially shuttered America's Army. The way Americans played video games had changed since the game launched in the early 2000s, and the Army began to pivot its approach to gaming to leverage the success of existing games and opportunities posed by the increasingly popular competitive eSports scene. Today, the Army eSports team competes in commercial titles like Rocket League, Call of Duty, and Valorant, continuing its outreach. This modern presence remains contentious — critics continue to question the ethics of military outreach in spaces that include children.

Balancing our passions with life's responsibilities can sometimes feel like walking a tightrope. Imagine trying to sneak in a gaming session of Path of Exile only to have it interrupted by an unexpected family visit. Or consider the challenge of introducing a loved one to your favorite hobby, be it gaming or sports, and wondering if they'll ever share your enthusiasm. These are the hilarious yet relatable stories we dive into, touching on the universal struggle of finding time for what we love amidst adult duties. And while juggling hobbies might be tricky, it's the spice of life that keeps our stories colorful and amusing. Picture the awe and excitement of witnessing the raw unpredictability of sports betting. When a mix-up between the Vikings and Broncos throws our expectations for a loop, it's a rollercoaster of emotions we can't ignore. We boldly place our bets on the Patriots over the Saints and anticipate a high-energy showdown between the Cowboys and Panthers. Along the way, we uncover the intense standards faced by the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders, revealing the surprising financial aspects behind their prestigious roles. These insights are a fascinating blend of sports analysis and behind-the-scenes glimpses into NFL cheerleading that will leave you both entertained and informed. From the quirks of late-night binge eating to the peculiarities of social media algorithms, our episode is a tapestry of engaging stories and personal insights. We humorously recount gaming marathons and partner reactions to our Call of Duty stats, while also musing over our favorite candies and childhood memories. Whether it's exploring the unpredictable stock market, debating cryptocurrency, or contemplating mortality and legacy, our conversations are as varied as they are compelling. Join us on this journey through life's passions and responsibilities, where every story adds a personal touch and a hearty laugh.
Remember the terror of calling a girl and her dad answering the phone?In this nostalgia-packed and hilariously insightful episode of The JB and Sandy Show, the crew dives into what it meant to grow up Gen X—awkward phone calls, Mad Magazine, and the sacred teen landline. But it's not all throwbacks. The conversation takes a wild turn into the world of astrology, cold plunges, and red light therapy hats. Sandy introduces listeners to a young Indian astrologer dubbed the “modern-day Nostradamus,” whose eerily accurate predictions have stunned the world. From earthquakes to crypto booms, this guy's track record is raising eyebrows—and maybe investment portfolios. Meanwhile, Tricia puts Sandy and JB in the hot seat with a round of “One Must Go,” forcing them to choose between their favorite things—from Call of Duty to cold plunges, and even JB's beloved LBJ-style Stetson hat.

The inevitable has occurred for Xbox gamers, as now the "Best Deal in Gaming" Xbox Game Pass Ultimate skyrockets up in price by 50% to $30 a month in the United States, and even more in other regions. PC Game Pass went up to $16.50 as well. The question now is, is it still worth it? Well, the rush to cancel Game Pass was big enough to crash the cancellation page. Is this the sign of the end? Or is it once again a lot of grandstanding to wind up returning? Sean and Marc discuss their thoughts on the situation, and could Call of Duty be the biggest reason for this change? The dooming did not end there as another rumor quickly began to spread that Microsoft would be introducing a free ad tier of Xbox Cloud and even be done with hardware entirely, which Microsoft actually came out and refuted. Will Xbox actually have a console in 2027/2028? Or are we just waiting for more bad news down the line? Plus, aside from all of the Xbox stuff, the PS5 Dualsense may get a replaceable battery, Rock Band 4 is delisted from digital storefronts, the Golden Joystick Awards made some interesting nominee choices, and a whole lot more on this edition of Video Games 2 the MAX!You can also watch this episode in video form on the W2M Network Youtube Channel, please give us a like, comment on the episode, and give the channel a subscribe and follow as well: https://youtube.com/live/SpPJoxWZKeYListen as a podcast and give us a review on these platforms...

Hello there everybody, and welcome back to Trophy Talk! This week we're back to basics with Josh and Colin here to guide you through the latest trophy hunting news, massive game show announcements, and more. It seems like every year Call of Duty is too big to fail. Rarely is Activision's juggernaut franchise challenged by another shooter for supremacy. This year though, things seem to be different. With Battlefield 6 due out in one week's time, and hot off of a very successful Beta over the Summer, is this the year that CoD finally meets its match? Or does the recent acquisition of EA, news of a labored and glitchy campaign, and incredibly grindy trophy list end up positioning BF6 further away from the competition than it would like? We answer all of those questions as well as chat about the recent Sony State of Play, Tokyo Game Show, and other major announcements. Of course, in addition to all that we cover what we've been playing for the month of September, some Trophy Eco System news surrounding exclusive rewards, Patreon questions, and some initial thoughts on our journey with Silent Hill f. We hope that you enjoy the episode, thank you for listening, and take care!

Linktree: https://linktr.ee/AnalyticJoin The Normandy For Additional Bonus Audio And Visual Content For All Things Nme+! Join Here: https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0KLock and load into the shadows of espionage as Analytic Dreamz delivers an explosive reaction to the Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Beta Trailer, dropped September 30, 2025, at the Call of Duty: Next event. Treyarch's 2035-set sequel to Black Ops 6 thrusts elite JSOC operatives led by David "Section" Mason against the shadowy Guild faction under CEO Emma Kagan, blending near-future tech with classic covert ops in a co-op campaign, revamped multiplayer, and horde-slaying Zombies. Analytic Dreamz dissects the trailer's high-octane reveals: the Overclock system for explosive weapon customizations, Hybrid Combat Specialties mixing loadouts on the fly, and reworked Perks like enhanced Ghost for ultimate stealth takedowns.He spotlights beta-accessible chaos—six 6v6 maps including the drilling-rig frenzy of Blackheart and urban collapse of Toshin, plus the eerie Vandorn Farm Zombies map packed with 192 Augments, new GobbleGums, and undead hordes begging for headshots. From assault rifles shredding through monorail ruins to the D.A.W.G. scorestreak unleashing robotic fury, Analytic Dreamz evaluates how Wildcards and Prestige progression amp up replayability across PS4/PS5, Xbox One/Series X|S, and PC. Does this beta's early access (October 2-5 for pre-orders and Game Pass) and open run (October 5-8) deliver balanced gunplay amid Battlefield 6's rivalry, or will server strains and progression caps frustrate? He probes ties to Warzone integration and Reznov legacy cosmetics, questioning if Black Ops 7's tactical depth eclipses Modern Warfare 3's scope for the November 14 launch.For Call of Duty Black Ops 7 beta breakdowns, multiplayer trailer reactions, Zombies mode previews, and Treyarch updates, this segment is your precision-guided essential.

Day 2 of the Schumer shutdown and it just gets worse for the democratic leadership. One of those democratic leaders having a bad week is Hakeem Jefferies, we roll the tape on him. What are some Dems doing during the shutdown? We let you know, Pope Leo said some stuff, so we have to be careful how to approach it, Katie Hobbs love Chinese money, sombrero memes, call of duty, the Rap Up, and more!
One Battle After Another, is what I should rename this podcast, because the movie was that good, and a full review is inside. Plus Xbox takes another self imposed L, Sony gives itself a gold medal, and EA goes private. The Simpsons are headed back to the big screen, and an AI "actress" has Hollywood in a fervor. Plus Forza Horizon is finally headed to the land of the Rising Sun, and Ubisoft gives Assassin's Creed a new home.

Frank Woods Voice Actor Reveals Call of Duty's Shocking AI Proposal!
Wylie McGraw is a 3-tour combat veteran, former star athlete, and competitive bull rider. At 45, Wylie McGraw is the oldest combat veteran in decades to re-enlist for active duty—but for him, this isn’t just about helping to fix a broken military. A devout Catholic, he felt a spiritual calling to serve again, believing God and patriotism left him no choice. After a 16-year career advising/optimizing the lives of Fortune 500 CEOs, pro athletes, and billionaires, Wylie answered the call of duty once again — returning to service as one of the rare few accepted into Special Operations Psychological Warfare. Despite a ruptured ACL he regrew without surgery and 21 years out of uniform, he’s gearing up for his third round of bootcamp, because he believes the US needs a stronger military now. He believes the military is at its weakest point in modern history — plagued by “wokeism,” a leadership vacuum, and a recruitment crisis where 77% of young Americans are unfit to serve. Integrity is gone, lethality has declined, and legacy military families are telling their kids to stay out. Wylie’s mission? Restore core values, mentor future-ready soldiers, and help America face near-peer threats like China and Russia. His views align with veterans like Pete Hegseth, now leading the Pentagon — he sees this as the moment to help course-correct. Having helped over 100 combat vets rebuild their lives, Wylie understands what it takes to face and overcome personal battles. He believes much of today’s cultural decline stems from people avoiding those inner struggles, creating a void now filled by ideologies that prize comfort over strength that are weakening the nation from within.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

While Ghost of Yotei has gone gold and is now right around the corner, other segments of PlayStation Studios are on far less sturdy ground. Fairgames (or Fairgame$, if you like marketing) is seemingly the latest victim of an unprecedented run of bad decision-making, execution, and leadership within Sony's first party, as the upcoming shooter has shed its director, often (though not always) a dire sign for any project. Taken with recent reports (from this very show) of poor internal playtesting -- all the while Haven has already shed its major front-facing face and co-founder Jade Raymond -- we simply have to wonder whether Fairgames will ever launch at all. And if it does, does it have any potential to succeed whatsoever? Other news this week includes the rumored reemergence of Insomniac's Wolverine project, downward-revised SSD space for upcoming PS5 consoles, a fresh look at the promising Uncharted-like IO title 007: First Light, and much more. Then: Listener inquiries! Does Naughty Dog actually represent the pinnacle of game dev? How much can people twist themselves into a knot to justify piracy? What kind of pressure are studios and publishers under to adopt AI solutions? Will "Alleghany Hogs" catch on around the world?
