Podcasts about top games

The Oklahoman's Justin Martinez and Joe Mussatto break down the 2026-27 NBA schedule on the latest episode of the Thunder Buddies podcast.

GTA 6 preorders are here, but Rockstar's physical edition is already stirring controversy with no disc in the box. We dig into the $80 price point, whether GTA 6 changes the ceiling for AAA games, and what this means for physical collectors. Then we get into a rough week for Xbox: Call of Duty leaving day-one Game Pass, major Xbox Series X|S price increases, and reports that Microsoft may be looking to sell, spin out, or shut down studios like Ninja Theory, Double Fine, Undead Labs, Compulsion, and Arkane Lyon. We also talk LEGO Batman, Stalker 2, Mixtape, 007, short platinum trophies, and our top games of the year so far. Join us! New episodes post every other Wednesday at 12PM CST/10AM PST!

In this special 2-year anniversary episode of the Emerald Grappling Podcast, Aaron is delighted to be joined by two of his own coaches from Lakeland Jiu Jitsu: Ruairi Keena and Dave Hynes. Ruairi, a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt, and Dave, a Brown Belt, share the story of their journeys through the sport.We explore the origins of Lakeland Jiu Jitsu, tracing its roots from the early days of Mullingar Grappling to the thriving club it has become today. Ruairi and Dave reflect on the challenges of building a club from the ground up, the uncertainty of those formative years, and the moments that tested their commitment to the mats. They discuss what kept them moving forward when progress was slow and success was far from guaranteed.Dave opens up about his return from a serious ACL injury and the lessons learned through recovery, resilience, and adapting his training approach. Together, they discuss the role of strength and conditioning in longevity, why so many grapplers neglect it, and how setbacks can often become the catalyst for growth.The conversation also explores the realities of balancing family life, coaching responsibilities, and personal development. Ruairi and Dave share how parenthood has shaped their perspective both on and off the mats, the life lessons they hope to pass on to their children, and the challenges of managing multiple responsibilities while continuing to grow within the sport.We also dive into competition, the evolution of their jiu jitsu over the years, and why both have remained committed to a pressure-heavy, gi-focused style in an era increasingly dominated by no-gi grappling. Ruairi reflects on what earning his black belt meant to him, while both coaches discuss the techniques, concepts, and philosophies that have stood the test of time.Finally, Ruairi and Dave share their coaching philosophies, what they look for in students who have the potential to go all the way to black belt, and the legacy they hope Lakeland Jiu Jitsu leaves behind for future generations.Some clubs produce competitors. Others build communities. Lakeland Jiu Jitsu has spent years building both.⏱️ CHAPTERS00:00 - 03:01 Intro & how Ruairi and Dave got started in Jiu Jitsu03:02 - 08:53 Origins of Lakeland Jiu Jitsu, Mullingar Grappling & Fight Club!08:54 - 14:02 SBG Mullingar and Longford BJJ Partnership14:03 - 17:07 Tom King and His Influence on Lakeland Jiu Jitsu17:08 - 23:30 Recovering from Herniated Discs & ACL Injury23:31 - 27:52 Strength & Conditioning and the Mental side of Recovery27:53 - 32:43 Returning to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu After ACL Surgery32:44 - 35:26 Modifying BJJ game after injuries35:27 - 39:47 Heavy Pressure and Top Game in BJJ 39:48 - 47:55 BJJ for Self Defense in BJJ Beginners Course47:56 - 52:19 Gi Focused Grappling52:20 - 57:15 Returning to BJJ Competition57:16 - 57:58 Ruairi's Competition Experience 57:59 - 1:07:12 Balancing BJJ, Family Life & Coaching Kids 1:07:13 - 1:13:52 The Coaching Team Behind Lakeland Jiu-Jitsu1:13:53 - 1:19:02 Using BJJ for Self Defense in real life at ATM!1:19:03 - 1:20:14 Every gym gets a "street fighter" bro1:20:15 - 1:22:07 Seeing Future Black Belts 1:22:08 - 1:29:02 Student retention over the years1:29:03 - 1:33:19 What getting a BJJ Black Belt meant to Ruairi & Developing as a Coach1:33:20 - 1:42:20 Advice for Future Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Coaches1:42:21 - 1:44:09 The Legacy We Want to Leave in BJJ1:44:10 - 1:47:12 Future of the Emerald Grappling Podcast1:47:12 - 1:47:42 Outro

This Week's Panel - KooshMoose, wildwest08   Show Discussion - KooshMoose and wildwest08 are back again for the first time in 2026 so that means it's time for a quick recap of 2025. We asked our Patrons for feedback on some of their favorite games released in 2025, games that they just got around to playing in 2025, and if they had any underrated games from 2025 they wanted to recommend. We asked ourselves the same questions, but we also took some time to discuss our biggest disappointments of 2025 as well as what games we're excited for in 2026. We also discussed the January targets and Game Pass news for the first half of January.
