Here there Grinders! It’s a new style of month– it’s Found Footage February! Accidentally coming off the back of Shaun’s found footage movie last week, Bryan brought with him 2008’s “Cloverfield.” While it blew up in 2008 with its amazing marketing, how does it stand up today? Find out with the guys! If you enjoyed this, head on over to our patreon found in our linktree to find our bonus weekly episodes. (Also our Discord link, because why aren't you there?) Welcome to a new week, Grinders! linktr.ee/experiencegrind
Twenty Twenty-Six has only been with us for a month but it has already worn out it's welcome! Military in our streets, internment camps in our cities, an environment that is clearly reaching a tipping point, and a corrupt government run by pedophiles and their protectors. As we watch as our freedoms and rights disappear, take comfort in the fact that the Grinders are still here to spread cheer. It isn't much but we are all in this together. We all have to oppose fascism in our own ways, and deal with our own personal stresses. A gaming podcast may not be much, but we can help spread the truth and distract the mind from the horrors of reality. Even as our country is fighting for it's life the gaming industry is still thriving. When the weather starts to improve (hopefully) we will see the protests grow to sizes that force change! Strikes, boycotts, and whatever it takes to bring Freedom for All to every person living in this country. A long list of news stories as the number of 2026 releases grows. For the Spring, look forward to the releases of Utawarerumono: Past & Present Rediscovered and Dosa Divas. The Summertime also has a couple of new releases, in Another Eden Begins and Kyoto Xanadue. With everything going on in America, the Stinkos are growing at an alarming rate. Soon they will need their own show. We are surrounded by so many horrors that it has become impossible for anyone to keep up. America has a corrupt government that is directly responsible for the deaths of millions. A wannabe dictator is changing the rules while no one seems willing to challenge him. The Epstein files continue to be blocked from proper release; the FBI even attempted to hurt the victims. On top of all that, the Grinders say goodbye to an icon. RIP Catherine O'Hare. After a January that temporarily derailed the show, the Driver's Seat is back to start us off right. Eric want's to know, what are some bad habits you see from gamers you wish they'd get over? The Grinders give you ours. Send us feedback and let us know yours! A special shout out to everyone brave enough to fight fascism and doubly for those fighting it in the bitter cold weather! Jack Frost, puppy killers, and White Supremacists won't stop the spirit of the American people! We sure as hell won't submit to people who abuse children! Join us next week as we dream about Spring and a world without oppression. We love living in a country with such a large diversity of people. We can't let them take away what makes us great, each other. (Sorry, if this seems disjointed but I didn't want to do my usual spin. The shit that is happening in America is far too important for my silliness.) I feel like I should still say something smartass... You know who isn't in the Epstein files? US!

Success doesn't come from flashy moments. It comes from showing up—every day—long after most people quit. In this episode, Trent sits down with Tyler Morris—entrepreneur, investor, and what Trent calls a professional grinder. Tyler didn't come from privilege or shortcuts. He grew up in a small town, learned early how to work without recognition, and built his career by outworking, outlasting, and out-learning the competition. After a successful eight-figure exit, Tyler didn't slow down—because grinding isn't a phase, it's who he is. Together, Trent and Tyler unpack: Why being underestimated can be a competitive advantage The difference between grinding and burning out Why alignment beats talent every time How delegation separates small business owners from real operators Why adding value to others is often the fastest way out of a personal or professional low point This is a masterclass in discipline, humility, and long-term thinking. Key Themes & Lessons Winners don't wait for perfect conditions—they prepare Confidence comes from preparation, not ego Teams win championships, not individuals The grind never ends—you just get better at it When you're down, go help someone else Resources Mentioned M2 Digital Marketing Group – Website strategy & growth-focused digital marketing Concept: Minders, Finders, and Grinders (knowing your lane) Athletic mindset applied to entrepreneurship Long-game execution over short-term wins Connect with Tyler Here - https://calendly.com/tylermorris22/schedule_conversation If this episode challenged you, don't keep it to yourself.

Happy Christmas and Merry Holidays to all! It's the 2025 season finale of RPGrinders and it is one of the best of the year! Don't worry, because we will be back in 2026. Until then, enjoy this last episode of the latest news, reviews, and some special surprises. (That aren't actually surprises because we already said we would do them!) With only a week left in this weak ass year, there are no new releases to announce. That's okay because 2026 will soon be here and with it, new games a plenty. The next few months alone will see the releases of Escape From Ever After, Ariana and the Elder Codex, and MegaMan Starforce Legacy Collection. Enough games to keep us all occupied through the long winter months. In the holiday spirit of "scary ghost stories," Frank reviews one of most popular horror franchises of all time. I won't spoil the surprise, but I will say that Santa Claus isn't the only thing keeping children up late at night. Every year, the Grinders give our top pics in RPG gaming. Even a crappy year like 2025 has had some fantastic releases. For the first time ever, the Grinders all choose a game from one certain franchise. Retro games remade for the modern error without losing the charm of the originals. What were once just 2D pixels are now rich 3D worlds to explore. Stagnant enemies are now in full motion and looking far better than ever. What are those games? I won't spoil the holiday fun! Go sit on Santa's lap, maybe he'll tell you. Santa Claus has a Naughty List of all the children who misbehave; however, it pales in comparison to the RPGrinders weekly 2025 Stinkos. Genocidal mad men are murdering innocent fishermen and trying to start wars. Racist losers are kidnapping and disappearing innocent people off the streets. Government agencies protecting wealthy pedophiles. Government agencies weaponizing our courts against their political enemies. All of those and a country that loves its guns more than its children. Maybe this whole country should be on his Naughty List. With so many reasons to be exhausted, like the holidays and fascism, we all need a release. What better way to bring people together for fun than gaming? This episode is the finale episode of the RPGrinders version of gaming fun, Game Night! After 2 weeks of wrestling entertainment, the Grinders finally determine the winner of our final game of 2025. Will it be Frank's wicked El Chaupacabra? Or maybe Break's grunty Beast? What about Eric's badass Johnny 5 Bigelow? Or could it be one of the chatter's wrestlers who cleaned house and took home the championship belt?? No hints and Santa can't help you this time! With that, the Grinders give a Merry Middle Finger to 2025 and wish nothing but the best to all our friends, family, and listeners. May whichever holiday you celebrate be filled with love and joy. The only thing that kinda sucks about Game Night is that I write a bunch of stuff that never even gets used. It took me a couple hours to write the *redacted* ending but no one will hear its glory! lol Oh well, as long as I am still having fun, I see no real need to complain!
Hey there Grinders. It's a continuation of the most magical time of the year! That's right. Action Movie December!! This week, Phil has rejoined the boys to chat about a little action star named Jean Claude Van Damme. And with Action Movie month, Phil brought 1994’s infamous “Street Fighter.” Will “Street Fighter” hit with the Hadouken, or is it just a weak flame?

Marc "Moose" Malusis doesn't pull any punches in this scathing review of the New York Rangers' current state. Comparing the team to the "boring" late-90s era, Moose slams GM Chris Drury for constructing a lineup top-heavy with AHL-level grinders and "novelty" fourth-liners who can't put the puck in the net. The debate gets nuclear when Malusis discusses the unthinkable: trading Artemi Panarin. With the "cup window" slammed shut and the team looking "lost" under first-year head coach Sullivan, Moose questions if the Rangers are headed for a dumpster fire season. From the failure to score on the power play to the "overpassing" epidemic, this is a raw look at a team that has lost its edge and its identity.

In this episode of The Fabricator Podcast, guest host Nate Bowman (aka Weld Scientist) joins us as we speak with 3M abrasives application engineers Matt King and Kaeleigh Wilkins about the everyday realities of grinding, from why welders depend on it to how newer abrasive technology is improving weld prep and finishing. They also discuss surface-prep tools that remove coatings without damaging the base metal and why shops may want to rethink the abrasives they've used for years. We also touch on the third season of Clash of the Grinders, the student competition that's helping bring new welders into the trade. Nate also talks about his involvement with SparkForce manufacturing camps. This episode was recorded at FABTECH 2025 in Chicago.

Nudevember is coming to an end for this year, Grinders. Thank you for joining us. But Shaun brought in a Wachowski first. First film, that is. Starring Jennifer Tilly, Gina Gershon and Joe Pantoliano, “Bound” takes us on a noir style gangster heist that some have described a gender swapped “Double Indemnity.” Ryan.

The holiday season is in full swing. The Grinders are ready to stuff their faces for Thanksgiving. The sales and the shopping are just beginning. But, most important of all, this is the last episode of Grinders for Nov 2026! While passing the gravy and making your Christmas list, don't forget to listen to Eric's reviews. So close to the end of the year there aren't many new releases left. However, Dec 8th will see the Steam release of the Y's inspired Angeline Era. For the people who don't mind waiting, February 2026 will see the releases of Norse: Oath of Blood and Y's X: Proud Nordics. Once the food is done, the last thing most people want to do is talk to their family members. So instead of gouging out ears, why not try to relax with a good movie or tv show. The Grinders have some recommendations and some warnings. Are Kpop Demon Hunter or Spin the Bottle going to leave Frank with more indigestion than eating an entire pecan pie? Are Predator Killer of Killers and the Super Mario Bros Movie so bad that they would make Eric prefer to watch football? Are Gen V and Alien Earth filled with enough nudity and gore to make Break enjoy them even more than the sweet potatoes? If the dinner table political fight with the drunk uncle wasn't enough to get one's blood boiling, then maybe these Stinkos will get the heart rate up. Our overly stuffed president continues his war on the American people. Between his appointees, our failure of a Congress, and corrupted judges across the country there is a lot of anger. They embrace NAZIism while rejecting science. Despite their hateful claims, people do not become autistic because of vaccines. Also, they need to stop trying to "fix" autistic people. They are not broken! We can all agree that the stuffing is the best part of the meal. At least, no one can disagree because I have no editor. Just like the stuffing the Sweetos are here to counteract the bitter taste of Stinkos. In the surprise of all surprises the American government is finally releasing the Epstein files. From here, we can only hope it leads to punishment for everyone involved in the abuse and coverup. More than anything, we all should want justice for the victims. With only one segment left, it's time to loosen those pants for dessert. Almost as good as pumpkin pie but not even close to apple pie is the delicious Driver's Seat. Although the Grinders don't talk much about sports the final segment is dedicated to their favorite and most influential athletes. Football players, Olympians, baseball players, and competitors from numerous other sports get the respect they deserve. With so many delicious food options, don't be the guest who brings green bean casserole or fruitcakes. That is a good way to not get invited back. But it's not all bad, anyone kicked out of family events has more free time to listen to RPGrinders! I know I usually use this space for my sarcasm, but now I'm just thinking about Thanksgiving dinner. Turkey light meat. Turkey dark meat, stuffing, rolls, cranberries, mash potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, and a variety of pies... And now I have to try not to drool for a week, no promises and no apologies for drooling in my sleep.
Welcome back to Nudevember, Grinders. This week, Kyle brought to us the somehow star-studded-ish 1995 alien invasion (with a twist) movie… Species. It's just one of those movies that if you were born before 1990, you “know” about this movie … Continue reading →

How do you make great coffee on the road? Jonathan talks with Alex LeBlanc, the owner and head roaster at Calibration Coffee Lab, to talk about our recent attempts at this.

Before it was “110 Munson Ave” The site used to be addressed as 1504 E. Front Street in Traverse City. Back then it was part of the old fast food strip east of downtown. At some point in the early 1990s, that section was renumbered/reassigned and the same building became 110 Munson Ave (Munson Ave and E. Front basically merge/split in that corridor). So: same physical spot, two different street numbers over time. The business history, oldest to newest Arthur Treacher's Fish & Chips (late 1970s / very early 1980s) One of the classic British-style fried fish & chips chains. The Traverse City location was listed at 1504 E. Front St., which is the same building that later became 110 Munson Ave. Arthur Treacher's expanded hard in the ‘70s/early ‘80s and then started fading nationally in the mid-'80s. The Traverse City shop was part of that early wave. Burger Square (≈1981–1984) After Arthur Treacher's left, the spot became Burger Square around 1981. Locals describe Burger Square as a slider/burger place, kind of White Castle-ish. It only lasted a few years, into the mid-1980s. Dairy Queen (mid-1980s to early 1990s) After Burger Square, the same building turned into a Dairy Queen. Sources say that Dairy Queen ran there through the late '80s and very early '90s, then closed/relocated. This is also the point where the address shifts: that old DQ at 1504 E. Front is later referred to as 110 Munson Ave. Schlotzsky's Deli (early 1990s) In the early '90s, after Dairy Queen, the building became a Schlotzsky's Deli (the Austin-style sandwich chain). That didn't last super long; by the mid/late '90s it had flipped again. Luigi's Pizzeria & Café (mid/late 1990s into 2000s) Next up was Luigi's Pizzeria & Café, doing pizzas, pasta, sandwiches. Luigi's shows up in business directories at 110 Munson Ave and is tied to the Gutowski family locally. One listing says Luigi's (at that address) dates back to the 2000s and had a handful of employees. A note from the owners suggests this Munson Ave location eventually closed around the late 2000s/very early 2010s. Mancino's Pizza & Grinders (late 1990s / 2000s era overlap) The same family (Valentine “Billy” and Linda Gutowski) also operated Mancino's Pizza & Grinders in Traverse City. Mancino's is described as their independent, mom-and-pop pizza/grinder shops that started in the area in the 1990s and expanded to multiple Traverse City locations. Mancino's is specifically listed at 110 Munson Ave in older directories, and some maps still show “Mancino's Pizza & Grinders” or “Gutowski Restaurants” tied to that address even after it was gone. Over time, the Gutowskis rebranded/relocated the Mancino's/“bread nuggets” operation to other Traverse City spots (Chum's Corner, West Bayshore, etc.), and the Munson Ave shop closed. That'sa Pizza (2010s–2020) After Mancino's/Luigi's, the building housed That'sa Pizza, a long-running Traverse City pizza brand that traces back to 1981. That'sa Pizza ran takeout/delivery from 110 Munson Ave through the 2010s. By early 2021 the Munson Ave location had shut down; That'sa Pizza continues today at other Traverse City locations (Long Lake Rd, Hammond Rd, Acme/Williamsburg), but not at 110 Munson. Jersey Mike's Subs (2021–present) In 2021, a Jersey Mike's Subs franchise moved in. Local business news in February/March 2021 said Jersey Mike's would open in the “former That'sa Pizza space” at 110 Munson Ave, targeting a late-March grand opening. Jersey Mike's is still the current tenant, and their official store listing shows the address as 110 Munson Ave, Traverse City, MI 49686, phone (231) 421-1379, open daily. Quick summary timeline Late '70s / early '80s: Arthur Treacher's Fish & Chips
Before it was “110 Munson Ave” The site used to be addressed as 1504 E. Front Street in Traverse City. Back then it was part of the old fast food strip east of downtown. At some point in the early 1990s, that section was renumbered/reassigned and the same building became 110 Munson Ave (Munson Ave and E. Front basically merge/split in that corridor). So: same physical spot, two different street numbers over time. The business history, oldest to newest Arthur Treacher's Fish & Chips (late 1970s / very early 1980s) One of the classic British-style fried fish & chips chains. The Traverse City location was listed at 1504 E. Front St., which is the same building that later became 110 Munson Ave. Arthur Treacher's expanded hard in the ‘70s/early ‘80s and then started fading nationally in the mid-'80s. The Traverse City shop was part of that early wave. Burger Square (≈1981–1984) After Arthur Treacher's left, the spot became Burger Square around 1981. Locals describe Burger Square as a slider/burger place, kind of White Castle-ish. It only lasted a few years, into the mid-1980s. Dairy Queen (mid-1980s to early 1990s) After Burger Square, the same building turned into a Dairy Queen. Sources say that Dairy Queen ran there through the late '80s and very early '90s, then closed/relocated. This is also the point where the address shifts: that old DQ at 1504 E. Front is later referred to as 110 Munson Ave. Schlotzsky's Deli (early 1990s) In the early '90s, after Dairy Queen, the building became a Schlotzsky's Deli (the Austin-style sandwich chain). That didn't last super long; by the mid/late '90s it had flipped again. Luigi's Pizzeria & Café (mid/late 1990s into 2000s) Next up was Luigi's Pizzeria & Café, doing pizzas, pasta, sandwiches. Luigi's shows up in business directories at 110 Munson Ave and is tied to the Gutowski family locally. One listing says Luigi's (at that address) dates back to the 2000s and had a handful of employees. A note from the owners suggests this Munson Ave location eventually closed around the late 2000s/very early 2010s.

Ryan opens up about sneaking online poker sessions as a teen, the “Moneymaker effect,” and how dropping out of college set him on the path to poker stardom. He discusses moving across North America to chase the dream, overcoming challenges growing up gay in a traditional environment, and building community through forums and coaching. You'll hear candid insights into tournament swings—odd jobs, finding stable internet, and bankroll variance. Ryan breaks down the backing model, why coaching became both passion and safety net, and why multiple income streams matter for today's pros. The conversation gets personal: being an openly gay figure in poker, balancing business ventures and mentorship, and future aspirations beyond the felt. We close with goals for the next chapter, inside stories about his bracelet win, and advice for grinders navigating an ever-changing industry.Show Notes 00:00 – Some Early Podcast Reminiscing & Finding Poker 07:52 – Early Bankrolls & Part Time Poker 12:30 – Dropping Out of College & Meeting His Future Husband 17:07 – Black Friday & WSOP #1 22:44 – Five Years of Travel & Coaching 27:50 – Staked Life & Spin n Go's! 35:53 – Ryan's Coaching Style & PLO! 40:12 – Grinding Without a Massive Breakout Year 43:37 – Consulting With Poker Operators 47:47 – Ambassador vs Business Relationships 50:15 – The Big Beautiful Tax Bill & Ryan's Exact ROI Stats! 58:06 – The BRACELET!

The spooky season is finally upon us. Every day another yard is covered in Halloween decorations and the autumn leaves. The fall jackets come out as the temperatures drop, at least they would if Global Warming wasn't real. The calendar tells me its October, but Mother Nature is telling me to keep wearing shorts! Honestly, the weather doesn't matter because the Grinders podcast can be enjoyed anywhere at any time. You can listen to Grinders while trick or treating. Don't worry. We won't blow your cover. Just say the gray hair is a part of the costume. Collecting candy while listening to the latest gaming news, sounds like a happy holiday to me. The holiday will be even better for fans of the Yakuza series who can look forward to some upcoming releases. Fans of Nioh, Code Vein, and The Seven Deadly Sins can look forward to 2026 for new releases, it's only scary if you hate waiting. For the parents who are escorting their children as they beg old people for candy. While you are driving slowly, enjoying your beer, is the perfect time to listen to Stinkos! You could be at home, drinking in peace. Instead, you are just hoping your kid gets some good candy, that you plan on stealing in their sleep. You might need those treats to power through yet another price increase from Microsoft. If a bad economy and corporate greed don't get us, Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi might. Even worse that getting pennies in your bag is the Fed spending our tax dollars to protect dictators while ignoring natural disasters here at home. Even more gross than someone giving out open pieces of candy corn, are the actions of ICE. I know I am making jokes, but they are deadly problem. Cowards who have been emboldened to attack the people they have always dreamed of hurting. Sick fucks. With such horrible Stinkos, we need some Sweetos to light up our ol' hallows night. Almost as good as finding the one neighborhood that gives out full sized candy bars! Or if you are like Frank, a huge pot bud. Unlike MAGA who is very unpleased with Dear Leaders opinions on marijuana. If they weren't already unhappy, announcing Bad Bunny for the Superbowl has made all of MAGA even less happy. Not quite as happy as Break feels for the future of his favorite baseball team. As the night of begging finally ends, the parents can finally have some fun. Put the children to bed, raid their candy bags, put on your sexiest Halloween costume, and listen to an episode of RPGrinders! HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Favorite Sexy outfit? Winnie the Sexy Pooh? Slutty Santa Claus? Handsy Guy on the Bus? Sexy Three Stooges? Popeye the Pussy Eater Man?
