It was a quiet night in Cincinnati, OH when the call went out for a podcast to perform live and spice up the night. We answered that call and swore to host a live podcast the likes of which Cincinnati, OH had never seen. This is that podcast and in this podcast we ask, "What modern game would you put in an arcade cabinet?"

Andrew is ready to introduce the free-to-play model to Pizza Huts everywhere. Todd is ready to reintroduce the track ball to modern gaming. Kyle was there with us in spirit, but spirits don't exist in live podcasts.

When we opened our FLAVOR TEXT series up to commissions, none of us thought we'd be talking about long-running improv comedy bits. But alas, here we are.

This month we're examining the career of comedy legend Martin Short. More importantly, we're going through the character? story? persona? that is Jiminy Glick and his TV show Prime Time Glick!

Special thanks to Noah for setting a new high bar on weird FLAVOR TEXT commissions! Check out our Patreon at patreon.com/debatethiscast to commission your own FLAVOR TEXT!

It's the season 8 premiere, can you even believe it? That's right, they let us get away with seven whole seasons so we decided to do another one! Speaking of doing another one, have you done today's Wordle? We all spent the holiday break commiserating with our families over the New York Times Games and how dumb the purple group in Connections is. Well this experience inspired us, so we're opening our season in kind. Without further ado, we ask the question, "Which NYT Game should become multiplayer?"

Todd is ready to unpack some early-childhood trauma. Andrew is creating some middle-aged trauma. Matt's speaking in numbers and we're not quite sure what that means.

We're running a Listener Survey for the first time ever! We'd love your input. If you have 5 minutes, check it out here: https://forms.gle/AQBnkg1C83hkkap28
