In Episode 52, Joe and Kevin talk about the re-branding of The Backlog Exposed Podcast – now primarily known as “The Backlog Podcast”. They also get deep into the newly released World War Z and Joe provides a No Spoiler review of Avengers: End Game. The podcast is packed with info and updates as well as great conversation. Stick around for the news, hang out for the laughs, and leave wanting more. That’s how we do it on the Backlog Podcast.
Every once in a while we like to dedicate entire episodes of the Backlog Podcast to other topics important to us and our listeners – so Episode 51 is dedicated to the newest Tag Team on Monday Night RAW, the Viking Raiders – otherwise known as The Viking Experience – otherwise known as The War Raiders – otherwise known as War Machine.
After Hanson and Rowe, current NXT Tag Team Champions, arrived on RAW, fans were stunned to find out Vince McMahon changed their name at the last instant – first calling them the Berzerkers (ala the Jobber from years ago), and then settling on The Viking Experience – Ivar and Erick. As someone who knows Todd (Hanson/Ivar) personally, this was a shock. The resulting meme and exposure turned into something more, and just before Raw on 4/22, their names changed again. All we know is that their name doesn’t matter – the job they do in the ring does. And on 4/22 RAW, their smash and bash of the Lucha Party was fun to watch.
Sorry for the delay, but enjoy this take on the name change and what’s in store for the Viking Raiders.
If you haven’t heard it yet, it’s time to start your week off right. Listen to Episode 50 of the Backlog Exposed Podcast.
There isn’t much to say other than Thank You. 50 Episodes in and it is just getting started. Joe and Kevin tackle the status of the Podcast, think back to some fond memories over the past 50 episodes, and talk about some things to come. Also, it wouldn’t be a good reminiscing of old Backlog Podcast episodes without a few audio glitches in the mix. Sorry for Kevin’s feed, there was some rabbits chewing his microphone cable.
Kevin talks about updates and recaps what is to come for the next few episodes of the Backlog Exposed. Lots have happened recently, but with Kevin sidelined, we haven’t gotten to all the news. This touches on what is important and we’ll be gearing up and getting ready with both Kevin and Joe in the coming days.
Episode 47 is a landmark episode. It represents the number of times Joe or Kevin have uploaded a podcast for our growing fanbase, but it also represents a number that is near and dear to Joe’s heart. I have no idea why, but its one of his favorite numbers, so Kevin let him take this one alone. While Kevin recuperates from Carpal and Cubital Tunnel surgery, Joe runs down the details on one of the most important announcements of 2019. Borderlands 3 is upon us – and if you’ve listened to the show at least once you know Borderlands 2 is Joe’s favorite game.
Side Note: While this is a quick and dirty Solo-Joe special, we’ll be back at together soon to discuss all the new Battle Royale news, along with Battlefield V’s Firestorm. We’ll be back to discuss the news on PS5 and the next XBox One, as well as the concerns around Google’s newly announced virtual gaming system. For now, feast your ears on this delicious taste of awesome and hear Joe out as to what is coming in BL3.
Get it.
In this Episode J&K get to business talking the latest news in gaming such as rumors abound on Google’s potential jump into the Console market, Ninja getting paid a Million Buckarooos to play Apex Legends for a day, and the upcoming release of Battlefield V’s “Firestorm” Battle Royale game mode dropping 3/27. As an added bonus, we dive deep into the mind of me and not you… no, wait, not me – Joel. We jump into his mind and pick him apart, dissecting his deepest secrets for your listening pleasure. Get to know more about me and not you… well, never mind – you get the point. Episode 46 is a good one.
Episode 45 starts off with a bang – it’s 3/11 and we’re getting ready for St. Paddys day. Kevin is on a solo mission bringing you the latest news in Todd (Hanson of the War Raiders from NXT), the latest news in Gaming, and the latest news in the saga of wrist pain. Get your Carpal Tunnel in check and tune in because this one’s all elbows and wrists. Whatever the hell that means.
What other way is there but J and K… all the way? There isn’t – and in this episode of the Backlog Exposed, the dynamic duo return after a week off due to moving, illness and lots of craziness going on. What have they been playing? What’s on the horizon? Should you love thy neighbor? There’s so much to get into – so jump right in and get yourself exposed to Episode 44. The Return of Awesome.
In this episode, Joe discusses Far Cry: New Dawn in detail while Kevin expands a bit on his Carpal Tunnel issues he discussed a few days ago. In addition, the guys continue the conversation on Fortnite, Blackout and Apex Legends – Loot Crates in Paid Games, Cross Play, and if you could believe it, they get into even more shenanigans… (I love that place). So check it out and let us know how ya feel – Tweet @thebacklogpod to say hello.
