A Surprise Inside: Time Pals and a Happy Meal History
12/06/24 • 60 min
1 Listener
This week the Time Pals take a fast and greasy look at the history of the Happy Meal, reminisce about the best and worst surprise toys, and play a round of “Real or Fake?” with Underscore. Do you remember your disappointment collecting a Michael Jordan-brand jump rope? Were you there collecting body parts for the Inspector Gadget movie tie-in, or did you just bury them in your yard like Nickell?

Jon's Genre Smash: Final Fight vs Streets of Rage, Time Crisis vs Area 51, and more!
1 RecommendationsThis week Jon Powell attempts to rip friendships apart the only way he can: By asking a barrage of retro game questions making them pick a side. Mario or Sonic? Time Crisis or Area 51? Madden or NFL Quarterback Club? Nothing is safe from his Genre Smash. Not even YOU. Think you know your Pals? Not when Final Fight vs Streets of Rage is at stake.

Time Pals and Geek Holiday Traditions
1 RecommendationsIt's Christmas time for your pals, and this week, we take a lighthearted, maybe slightly too in our cups, look at our geekiest holiday traditions. We talk about firework wars, relatives that purposely give our children the most annoying toys, and rally against some of the most disappointing toys ever made.
