199 - World Cup Shockers, GTA VI Madness & The Internet Losing It!
2w ago02:04:39Tap to summarizeThe 2026 FIFA World Cup has brought the world to North America and to our legendary "churches" of Waffle House, Bass Pro Shops, and Ella Langley country music concerts. After a week into the tournament, Bryan and Mario review the best and worst of the matches so far, with their hype for Mexico and Argentina at an all-time high, and their hope that the USA can somehow shock everyone and make a historic run.Mario takes inspiration from Detroit sports radio and brings the game "Can We Say That?" to the podcast, asking Bryan various World Cup topics about the Scots and their fanbase, why American news media sucks and those visiting the country actually like it here, why Messi is THAT guy, and is Tunisia out of pocket for firing their head coach after just one game?Plus, Grand Theft Auto VI preorders are coming this June, and with the validation that the game is coming later in 2026, the boys (alongside many others) get ready to ask for time off from work and calculate how many billions Rockstar Games will make off the preorders alone. Spoiler: PTO is going to be running dry for every company. Shoutout Burger Motorsports.One episode away from the 200 milestone, and this podcast is out here celebrating soccer, culture, video games, and ready to celebrate. What that will be, you shall see.

3w ago02:15:41Tap to summarizeThe 2026 FIFA World Cup is here, and boy does it feel like the United States is single-handedly trying to cause international tournaments to never be hosted here again. While hype may vary, the Aliens are super pumped, especially Mario, who has a World Cup trophy in hand to point at the haters and provide reasons for why Argentina will dominate the world again in what could be Lionel Messi's curtain call on the big stage. And Bryan thinks Mexico will have a horrid showing, which may well happen, but it's the World Cup! Stranger things happen, like Haiti having their jerseys illegal.Also on this internationally viewed show, Summer Games Fest has come once again, and while some of the biggest games have been unveiled, the boys think back to a grand time in the golden era of video games, where the show E3 hit like questionable substances and provided oodles of high-quality content. We wish it was still happening.Plus, a void kitty sneaks behind Bryan to study how a podcast is done, a deep dive into the various global spinoffs of The Office, Mario tries to mentally prepare for an upcoming 5k run, and a delicious hit of sum peanut butter craaacckkers.A podcast that delivers on the memes, conversation, soccer smack talk, and cute cats. All before the wackiest World Cup in history (probably).

May 1801:53:14Tap to summarizeA podcast before a cruise? Oh you know it had to be done! Bryan and Mario give you all another rousing episode before the high seas call our Argentinean man to the shores of south Europe.Mario can't go on his first European excursion without giving us a story on how he witnessed a near-death situation on the road, and how he was having an internal discussion with himself about whether or not that high school girl kind of deserved what happened when you try to beat traffic crossing the street.The guys are also recommended to check out some video games that are so off the wall and crazy, that city governments banned them! Will they still search for them to add to their collections? It may not be a zero percent chance.Plus, Forza Horizon 6 is finally making it to the public, where the dreams of driving and drifting your way through Japan are realized. Just how many hours will be logged until GTA 6 is released?There was some utterly jaw-dropping moments in English lower league soccer, teaching a new follower the ways of our sound effects, and Bryan providing us with some low frame rate action on camera.All this and more from a podcast going on a short break while cruising across the Mediterranean Sea!

196 - A Tornado Makes a Late-Night Visit to See Us…
Apr 2101:09:09Tap to summarizeMother Nature has been bringing the severe weather to Michigan a ton lately, so much so that tornadoes in the middle of the night are waking people up, just like what it did to Bryan this week! A small tornado touched down within walking distance of his apartment, and Bryan describes on this week's episode his action plan once he woke up to the sounds of sirens and his phone going nuts.Also on this new recording, the guys go over all of the biggest announcements at CinemaCon, with among others Call of Duty announcing a movie, Space Balls 2 putting a title to their long-awaited sequel, and the upcoming Avengers movie dropping a sick teaser.Plus, has the fallout from the sneaky Arizona resort pictures gotten to Dianna Russini, will Project Hail Mary's continued run at the theaters bring Mario and Bryan back to watch the amazing film again, and how on Earth did the upcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender movie get leaked on Twitter (not saying X because it's still dumb)? All in all, another Legal Aliens Podcast episode that is sure to provide the laughs, confused questions, and riveting commentary.

195 - The Search For $500 Poopbox Vehicles!
Apr 1501:52:09Tap to summarizeWith Bryan last year scoring an amazing deal on a Ford Focus ST that needed work for $500, Mario uses this podcast as an excuse (and with a burning desire) to try to find a sweet ride online around the same price that hopefully isn't destroyed, very sketchy, or just a shady dealer being untruthful with their listings. Also on this week's show, as the boys were recording this episode, NASA has a successful mission end with the Artemis splashing back down on Earth, and they ponder what the next trip to space will entail. Are we going to colonize the moon? Will Mars be our next stop, despite the three-year round-trip? Plus, the discussion of combining your work life with your personal one as the news of someone playing I Spy scooping pictures between a well-known sports journalist and NFL head coach becomes the big story. Inching closer to that epic episode 200. Come for the madness.

194 - Big Bird Almost Traumatized Millions of Children in the 80s
Apr 801:34:50Tap to summarizeAnother week, another international conflict that gets closer to its apex. Bryan and Mario decide why let that and some initial copyright issues uploading this episode stop them from bringing this to the masses? The guys are suggested to look into a very intriguing conspiracy theory regarding the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster: did Big Bird cause that to happen? Was the iconic Sesame Street character supposed to be on that ill-fated launch? It's a topic tailor-made for this podcast, so we obviously had to check it out.Plus, Bryan leans Argentina for wanting their new World Cup jersey, a deep dive into Need for Speed Nintendo DS game ratings, and is Mario speaking facts about purchasing sports jerseys straight from China and not worrying about the long shipping wait?This episode is another one closer to 200. Still just as random, confusing, and wild as one may expect. Welcome in.

193 - This Podcast May Become Need for Speed Themed
Mar 3001:48:55Tap to summarizeBryan and Mario are back in front of the mic this week and doing what any well-prepared professionals would do—going through an interesting yet chaotic guest list document they've written, and realizing they may have accidentally included voice actors from half the golden era of Need for Speed. At this point, a full pivot to a racing podcast feels inevitable.Mario later gets to jump on his soapbox (again) for the PWHL’s return to Detroit, declaring—loudly—that women’s hockey belongs in the Motor City, and honestly, he’s not wrong.Also on this episode, are podcasts becoming overwhelmed by famous people and there are not enough average Joe's starting one? And how has this resulted in outrageous production costs and less heart and soul put into crafting something fun.Plus, the guys rave about the Project Hail Mary movie, seriously consider breaking up with Netflix over its prices, and remind everyone that Justin Long is an American national treasure who crushes it in whatever role he gets.

192 - Twisters & Tremors: Michigan’s Wildest Weather Yet
Mar 901:19:01Tap to summarizeThe state of Michigan doesn't provide the craziest of meteorological moments, but the percentage isn't zero, and this past week saw a tornado touch down causing catastrophic damage and ruining lives of many families. Mario and Bryan discuss the impact severe weather had on the home state for the Aliens, why this tornado was so different compared to others in Michigan, and how did it happen. Also, do earthquakes ever hit here? You'd be amazed to find out that it does! The guys view a chart of past earthquakes to hit the state in the last few decades, and have a story session on some that they have experienced.Plus, the podcast's favorite viewer from England, day one homeboy Denver, returns to the show to provide a sliver of an update on life across the pond, and why a visit from fans that came by in the original studio days....you know, the OG Detroit backyard garage days....give off the highest of highs in the joy department for the Aliens.It's an episode of pure wholesomeness, giving the tips and tricks of succeeding in the health game, and why the state of Michigan has such oddities with weather and earthquakes.

191 - Project Hail Mary Hype & The 2026 Olympics Dropping The WTF Moments
Mar 201:34:46Tap to summarizeWhat a month of February in the world of sports, as countries converged to Italy for the Winter Olympics to compete for medals, use up all of the condoms, and try to say they are better than the other in a high-stakes, high-energy environment. Bryan and Mario have fun thinking back to the best, worst, and most WTF moments of the games!America owns women's figure skating, a Norwegian skier wins gold in every race he entered, while a teammate let the world know of his infidelity. A Slovakian fugitive was caught, an American skiing legend suffers a gruesome injury, Canada cheats in curling (allegedly), and a cute dog gets involved in the action. USA Hockey gave their fierce rivals Canada two massive L's in the gold medal games, with the guys and gals saying kilometers aren't better than miles. But many in the country are now saying the guys are traitors for visiting the White House? Is that warranted?On the movie entertainment side, Project Hail Mary is shaping to be quite the hit, as early reviewers are hailing it as an amazing adaption of the Andy Weir novel. The guys get geeked for the film by thinking of the best sci-fi movies of all time and ranking them on a totally legit and valid tier list. Right answers only.It's an episode of debates, gasps, forehead slaps, and a whole lot of hype and anticipation.

190 - Arctic Blast More Brutal Than The Lack Of Epstein Files Reveals
Feb 1001:36:41Tap to summarizeThis week, Mario and Bryan get the conversation kicked off about Minnesota, where political activism and high-profile ICE moments have turned the state into a national flashpoint. Is it all becoming too much at once, or is there a better way these situations should be handled moving forward?Then, the long-awaited Epstein Files finally start going public — and the details are juicy. Photos, celebrity name drops, and plenty of uncomfortable revelations spark a discussion on what actually matters, what doesn’t, and how to separate facts from speculation.Plus, the guys break down what the right amount of body fat really is, react to how the U.S. government and IndyCar seemingly pulled a Washington, D.C. race out of thin air for America’s 250th birthday, and wrap things up with some pure nostalgia — why running a PlayStation 2 emulator on your PC is elite, especially when it means firing up WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2007.
