Time Pals

The Time Pals are four geeky dads squandering their mid-life crises by diving headfirst into the best, worst, and weirdest corners of geek culture. Twice a month show hosts, Mike Underscore, ShadoSpartan, Nickell, and Jon Powell dust off old VHS tapes, blow into vintage game cartridges, and try to out-“Well, actually…” each other over the nerdy media they all pretend to love.If you're into pixelated graphics, ridiculous plot holes, AI-fueled adventures, and a hearty dose of chaotic humor—congratulations, you’ve just found your new Pals.

It’s MAR10 Day and Time Pals chose chaos!

This week, co-hosts Jon Powell and Mike Underscore promise zero level breakdowns, not a single discussion about gameplay mechanics, and absolutely no tier lists.

Instead, we’re celebrating everything but the games — from Super Mario Cheez-Whiz cans and the official Nintendo console sewing kit to Luigi’s rampage at the Super Mario Ice Capades and the legend of the Super Hornio Brothers adult movies. We even found a rare example of when “The Simpsons Didn’t Do It” first!

It’s Off-Console Chaos, and it’s-a not what you expect.
