It's a me, Mario… 2! The second title in the prolific series; Mario Bros 2 gets the HIS treatment on this newest of episodes. The guys don’t waste anytime as they live play the game while they record the show. Be prepared for bad language early on this one! The guys go over how America can’t handle the original game and had to get a rebranded version of another game which became what we know as Mario 2 but in actuality is not what originally was supposed to be Mario 2 originally. Confused? Don’t...

Grab some shrooms and Fireflowers! We’re talking Super Mario Bros, not a hippie festival (though that too could be fun). Arguably one of the biggest game topics the guys have stacked. This is one everybody* remembers or has at least heard of in passing. Its music has started entire genres. Its game-play has been copied for years. The terrific three go all-in on this one. They start off, like any other classic, sharing their memories of Mario. On the second half things start to get dicey as the V...

The Professor fights back tears of joy as he remembers the legend that is Jim Varney and demands his birthday be a holiday. JD admits that a lot of his comedic inspiration came from Ernest. Bulldog remembers it ...

bah weep grana weep ninny bon! JD has cashed in his Trivia Wars prize and hand picked this topic out of the millions of other topics that The Professor and Bulldog would rather be doing.

The jokes start early on this one as Bulldog and Willis share that they BOTH don't have very many memories of this "epic" topic while JD can just about recite it from memory. This also mark...

The Hook brings you back...to How it Stacks. This time it’s all about pirates and giant mosquitoes because JD, Professor Willis, and Bulldog are bringing out the epic 90's epics Hook and Jumanji.

JD will confess his love for Tinkerbell. Willis was into Kirsten Dunst before she was kissing Spider-man upsid...
