    SNEP 099: The First of Us

    Before we hit 100, we go back to Episode Zero, the promise we made, the show we became, and the chaos in between. We break down classic console launch lineups to see if they lived up to the hype, and ask the same of ourselves. Are we Super Mario World… or just Luigi’s Mansion, wandering in the dark? Also: Italy has pizza detectives, Tails might be running a Ponzi scheme, Mike Lindell is bundling swords with pillows, and a man breaks his arm tripping over his own junk. And in Dear Todd, a woman complains that her son’s girlfriend leaves underwear on the floor… and worse, exists.

    SNEP 098: The Art of Hospitaliano

    This week, we crack open the ancient Olive Garden training manual, because Todd found his original Hospitaliano binder and couldn’t help himself. What follows is a beautiful disaster: a quiz for Mike and Marc, a Stefan Urkél Machine incident (and a possible Jaleel White rumor), action figure transformations (accessories included), and a MyPillow radio ad that veers hard into medieval sword sales. We also revisit the VHS-era movies that scarred us too young, play Real or Fake: Olive Garden Edition, and read a Dear Todd letter from a woman whose husband’s hugs give her migraines… and he swears it’s all in her head. Come hungry. Leave with heartburn, unresolved emotions, and a complimentary chocolate mint. That’s Hospitaliano.

    SNEP 097: I Hope I’m Pretty in Pink

    Tom Cruise eats popcorn like a gremlin. The night before a day off? Somehow better than the day itself. And the long-lost food, toy, or website that mirrors your soul? It says more than you think. This week’s Twaddle spirals gloriously; Mike runs a full Stanley Tucci scan with ChatGPT, and Todd delivers a live MyPillow + Sword commercial you won’t believe exists. Plus, not one but two quizzes to reveal which 80s movie Mike truly is. Plus, Dear Todd tackles nosy strangers, walking boots, and how not to offend celebrity parents.  Tucci is risotto. Todd is restraint. One of them wins. Be sure to listen, subscribe, and follow our adventures on Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠@supernintendads⁠⁠⁠⁠.

    096: Big LENT Energy

    096: Big LENT Energy Todd asks if Mike gave up meat for Lent. Mike absolutely did not. From forgotten TV tie-in games and emotionally toxic consoles to strip mall fever dreams and a salad-and-breadstick revelation, the Dads spiral gloriously off-course. Todd pitches a grimly hilarious celeb legacy bit, and together they lock in their wildest 2025 episode ideas. Also in this episode: Zelda debates, Lori Petty deserves top billing, DEAR TODD tackles grandpa etiquette, and the MyPillow 3.0 prophecy is fulfilled. Come for the Lent jokes. Stay for The Breadening. Be sure to listen, subscribe, and follow our adventures on Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@supernintendads⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. Share this episode with a friend and spread the weirdness.

    095: 2024 Game of the Year Super Show

    With Marc Rodriguez and @KEVBO Mike and Todd kick things off with a Home Alone-inspired cold open before diving into 1994 gaming nostalgia, Super Metroid upgrades, Chris Hansen clips, and hot dog anthropomorphism. All four Dads debate 2024’s top games, from heavyweights like Astro Bot to, of course, the more obscure Nintendad picks. The crew revisits hilarious strip mall concepts from four years of the show with Kevbo and tackles a “Dear Todd” on family dynamics just in time for the holidays. 🎮🎄

    094: SUPER METROID

    In this continuation of our “All-Time Favorite Games” series (see Episode 046 for Super Mario World!), we dive into the grunge-era brilliance of Super Metroid. Gabe rates the 1994 classic against other retro titles he has played for the show, while we explore its modern gaming influence, iconic Brinstar theme, and fascinating trivia—including near cancellations and Samus’ almost risqué death scene. Inspired by the game’s tension, we bring back “Escape the Show,” alongside Gabe and Charlie’s hilarious new suit upgrades (spaghetti grappling hook, anyone?). A celebration of fear, isolation, and angsty brilliance, Super Metroid remains a timeless legend. Be sure to listen, subscribe, and follow our adventures on Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠@supernintendads⁠⁠⁠⁠.

    This week, Mike and Todd revisit Pit’s tragic downfall with an even grittier take, explore the strange human tradition of kissing, dive into a TMNT quiz to find out which turtle Mike is, and tackle a Dear Todd letter from an iconic character grappling with unexpected vulnerability. 80s and 90s gaming nostalgia and laughs you won’t want to miss—the dads at their most late-night dad.

    092: 8-Bit Identity Crisis

    On this episode, the Super Nintendads embrace NES nostalgia while taking detours through Todd’s Magic Eye struggles and ranking the best "Mains" in games like Street Fighter and Mario Kart. They debate which games to show aliens, quiz Todd on NES quotes, and determine which NES game best suits Mike. Plus, a tragic twist for Pit from Kid Icarus in his post-hero life, and Dear Todd offers advice on handling a penny-pinching partner.
