  • E110: WWTDivorce
    Apr 22 2025

    Level 10 unlocked... of sheer, unadulterated podcast madness! 🤯 This week, strap in as AverageTrav narrowly avoids virtual axe-murder (his wife, not him... mostly), we solve the unsolvable mystery of unwanted free headphones, and ponder the deep philosophical question: 'Peace... from what exactly?' Things then devolve into beer amnesia, ear ball obsessions (thanks, Mike), a super-sexy intro that'll need industrial-strength censorship, and the earth-shattering achievement of reaching double-digit episode numbers (apparently a rare Pokémon in the podcasting wild). BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! Buckle up for divorce stories so bonkers they make Bowser's schemes look reasonable, plus AverageTrav's legendary driving fails, questionable loot choices, and even some impromptu enemy dance-offs! We'll also test your retro brain with a N64 fighter riddle, shout out some awesome folks, and unveil AverageTrav's Frankensteinian cartridge arcade! If you like your podcasts 90% chaos and 10% questionable wisdom, HIT PLAY! And seriously, HELP US WITH THE N64 GAME!

  • E108: WrestleMania, Broken Rockets, and White Gravy Nightmares
    Apr 1 2025

    The episode kicks off with the age-old question of "Why is the screen black?" highlighting the technical prowess the hosts bring to the recording. After navigating the darkness, AverageTrav and FoodieMikeC dive headfirst into a nostalgic trip with mentions of Ric Flair and Macho Man in 1992 and reminiscing about good old years. Excitement builds over Nintendo's digital game sharing finally becoming a thing, a development long overdue.

    The hosts then enthusiastically announce a giveaway of Beats Fit Pro earbuds, urging listeners to head over to their IG account (CCICT) to like and share their post for a chance to win. They even shout out their surprising number of listeners in North Charleston, South Carolina, leading to some friendly shade thrown at Kansas.

    A debate erupts over the potentially offensive nature of ice crunching in the microphone, before they delve into Nerd News, covering everything from the first PC virus in 1999, the release of Internet Explorer 5 for Macs in 2000 (much to their confusion), the history of the Game Boy and Nintendo 64, the hacking of the original Xbox, and the legacy of the PlayStation Portable.

    The Pop Culture segment focuses heavily on wrestling and WrestleMania history, from the iconic first WrestleMania with Hulk Hogan and Mr. T to the Attitude Era with Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Shawn Michaels and the Mike Tyson involvement. They share anecdotes and memories of legendary figures like Andre the Giant, The Undertaker, and the tragic passing of Owen Hart.

    Moving into Music News, they briefly mention the number one song in 1985, "One More Night" by Phil Collins, which leads to FoodieMikeC's unexpected and intense hatred for another, unnamed female artist.

    The episode takes a delicious turn with Air Mail, featuring a review of a Mantri subscription box filled with various culinary delights, including Mambo Sauce which FoodieMikeC is particularly eager to try. He also teases his new "Salsas of Mexico" series, including a rather unorthodox recipe featuring American and cream cheese. A food-related rant ensues over a viral TikTok trend of dipping chicken strips in white gravy, much to FoodieMikeC's bewilderment and disgust.

    More Game News includes a shout-out to the affordable R36S handheld. The segment "What Would Trav Do?" provides hilarious clips of AverageTrav's questionable and often fatal Fortnite strategies, much to FoodieMikeC's amusement and exasperation. Despite the in-game blunders, they reveal a surprising victory in one match.

    The episode concludes with the usual calls to action for their social media, website, and Patreon, promising more chaotic content next week.

  • E107: Wolf Robes, Gig-a-Warts, and Lord of the Rings
    Mar 25 2025

    In the latest episode of "Cartridge and Quest," Mike and Trav cover a wild array of topics, from 80s tech milestones and 90s gaming legends to pop culture moments "before they were born." They reveal their first podcast award, hilariously blame Mike's extravagant wolf-skin robe purchase (on Trav's debit card) for their Patreon push, and highlight Cellular ICT's listener-exclusive repair deal. Trav's chaotic in-game antics in "What Would Trav Do?" are showcased, and Mike raves about his new, tech-laden Anova oven. Finally, they brainstorm a potential three-day "Lord of the Rings" movie marathon event for their listeners, complete with themed food.

  • E106 Mr. Motherf**ker and the Case of the Crooked Webcam
    Mar 18 2025

    Alright, picture this: two dudes, "FoodieMikeC" and "Average Trav," are basically running a digital daycare for broken iPads and malfunctioning soundboards, all while trying to remember if they're "elder millennials" or just really confused dads. Trav is still recovering from a Chicago adventure that sounds like a cross between a frat party and a ghost hunt (mysterious puking, anyone?), while Mike's having deep thoughts about AI agents organizing his grocery list – because, let's face it, that's the future.

    They're wrestling with video editing software like it's a rabid badger, debating the merits of Gemini versus Apple Intelligence (spoiler: Apple's losing), and trying to nail down a podcast outro that doesn't sound like a dial-up modem. Oh, and they're also warning you about "cell phone trolls" in a mall basement, because apparently, that's a thing. Plus, they're trying to figure out "What Would Trav Do?" in Fortnite, which probably involves a lot of virtual chaos and "dang its." Basically, it's a glorious mess of tech talk, dad jokes, and the kind of nostalgia that makes you wonder if you should just go back to bed.
