Time Pals are a podcast of geek dads using their mid-life years to talk about nerd culture instead of learning to brew IPAs or lifting weights. Two times a month they get together to overanalyze the media they pretend to enjoy. We didn't amass true wisdom, but we do know comic books, retro video games, and so much television.

Time Pals and the Shows That Deserved More—But Won’t Get It
Time Pals Podcast
02/14/25 • 59 min
This week the Pals talk about the TV shows that were cancelled too soon. Shows that didn't get the following from fans, or the treatment from the network execs that they deserved.
From 1 season wonders like Terriers to shows that had 3 or even 4 seasons like Deadwood. We talk about what we liked, what we didn't, and what could have been.

Time Pals: Do the Oscars Worst
Time Pals Podcast
03/14/25 • 67 min
This week the Time Pals are going to the movies, only thistime they’re playing their version of “Eff, Marry, Kill” with some the most questionable Best Picture winners from the 1990’s. From bloated epics to forgettable dramas, join your pals as they break down which films didn’t deserve their golden statues and, more importantly, find the films that truly needed some Oscar glory.
Would you replace American Beauty with Man on theMoon? Are you the kind of person to dropkick Driving Miss Daisy for Batman? Are you a Thin Red Line apologist or are you wrong?
Join us as we re-write Oscar history and do what our parents’generation didn’t have the guts to do: Nominate Natural Born Killers.
Got a movie you think deserved the gold? Let us know! And don’t forget to subscribe, rate, and time pal responsibly.

The Nickell Velocity: 2 Nickell 2 Furious
Time Pals Podcast
01/10/25 • 62 min
The Time Pals return for Season 4 by handing the reins over to future dystopian senator, hyperactive philosopher, and psychosis pop culture connoisseur, Nickell, for a second round of questions from an ADHD mind. How would you answer the questions like, “John Candy vs Chris Farley: Pick one and the other’s entire catalogue disappears forever!”, “If you have just enough time to watch one last movie before you die (hopefully going out in a hail of bullets like John Dillinger) what would it be?”, and “If you could choose five liquids to shoot from your fingers what would they be?”
Join the Time Pals for the follow-up to “The Nickell Vicinity” with “The Nickell Velocity 2: 2 Nickell 2 Furious!”

Gamer Cheating Psychos! (feat, ShadoSpartan and His Loose Ethics)
Time Pals Podcast
11/08/24 • 48 min
When is cheating at a video game actually cheating? AIM assist? Mods? Paying someone in a foreign country pennies on the dollar to uber you up? Whatever the heck a XIM Matrix is? When is it evening up the playing field, and when is it playing co-op with the devil?
This week, the Time Pals allow co-host ShadoSpartan to engage in the delicious sin of cheating at video games. Hear of the elaborate geeky witchcraft rituals used to resurrect Presidents of the Dead! Despair at the morbid time sink sacrifices to the devil need to make ShadoSpartan marginally average at Call of Duty. BEWARE of the SWEET MOD that makes GAMES EASIER!
1936 had "Reefer Madness". 2024 had "Gamer Cheating Psychos" . And one of them could be sitting next to YOU right NOW.
