Episode 107: The Tim Bit of '83 (ft. Young Deuces)

in , ,

This season of Debate This! has braved the waters of some uncomfortable topics, but today we venture to truly uncharted seas. Lace up your shoes, strap on your pads, and do other sports related things because today we're talking IRL sports! Now we're not here for your Maddens or your 2s-K, we're here for Chaos and we want it in the Windy City. Today we embark on a journey which asks, "Which athlete should star in their own non-sports game?"

We asked Kyle to talk about sports and he told us about donut history. Todd takes a page from the WKRP in Cincinnati book. Andrew, to no surprise, is bringing us to the year 20XX. Obviously we needed someone on this podcast who actually understands sports, so we drafted Young Deuces of the Geekset podcast (@Young_Deuces on Twitter) to lead our team to our franchise-first championship.

Aww dang is it Christmas already?? Well, we WOULD have gone shopping but we've all been sitting on this Disney investor call since Thanksgiving waiting for Black Widow news so it looks like we're gonna have to wing it again this year! We drew each other's names in the DT!HQ office Secret Santa, and now you have to experience atrocities such as the CTA Wii Bowling Boll, the PlayOn Game Boat, and the expertly-titled Thrustmaster Fragmaster.

Episode 67: Swipe Right for Frost Mages (ft Eiya)

in , , ,

You know how when you wistfully watch people play World of Warcraft, and silently wish to yourself that you could just somehow find the nerve to join the worldwide phenomenon? Longingly watch from the sidelines no more, dear listeners! We, the expert marketers at Debate This! have partnered with Big WoW, Inc to organize the biggest collab in the game's 15+ year history. We are partnering with real-life, actual sports teams to turn their beloved mascots into mounts that players can ride and show off to their friends. We have a bipedal ant dripping with machismo, a Midwestern kangaroo with very white Asics tennies, and a divorcee living out their flirty 50s.

Special thanks to our *actual* WoW expert, Gillian "Eiya" Long! You can watch Eiya on GCDTV (twitch.tv/gcdtv) covering all things competitive WoW as the current Arena World Championship (AWC) host and also as a sideline reporter. You can also find her on Twitch at twitch.tv/eiya, and on Twitter and Instagram @EiyaWoW.
