we need to bring this back, but it would be really fun to do this with campaign moments and they have to guess the episode it was in
Yall, no one is going to see this but I just caught up to 2026 on the feed. In about 1.5 years I have listened to like 85% of past content. Every campaign for sure. Ugh this is awesome. I love this game too!
Anybody else think it was unfair when murph got the logic point?
1:10 dropout.tv?
I don’t think we would have revolted if Caldwell or Jake won on sympathy points 😂 just to razz Murph
Nerf the Murph. Not even Covid could stop him, he needs Radahned
S/o A History of Violence. Going to get the VHS tape of it now as a potential major artifact of history. I’ll also grab Cars just in case it’s that though.
Already love this new show so much and murph had a totally valid crash out 🔥
Shoutout to Caldwell for not only a spot on JFK impersonation but also just a hilarious bit of him yelling to turn off the Monster Mash so they can focus on the Cuban Missile Crisis, I want that as an old school short 😂
I don’t love immediately saying if they got the year spot on. It leads to them having immediate feedback that they got it wrong as well. It was fun having them try to scoop by guessing one year higher or lower. To be clear, love the episode love the show ❤️
Relistening to this, Murph’s analogy for Justin Bieber is spot on. Beginning his young early-career as Squirtle, evolving into a “problematic Wartortle”, and finally maturing past his teen pop sensation origins and retreating into his shell as Blastoise, is the sort of association only a cog fogged mad genius could create.
That’s illegal!!!! That’s not real!!!!!!
Brian Murphy at his absolute BEST 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
One of my extra fave episodes in a minute ❤️❤️❤️ just you guys being you guys
So tickled to hear Murph and Caldwell break out the homestarrunner.com "toons" when Emily said the category, this is why we listen folks
We. Remember. Spell. Check. And we demand more!
I love these episodes extra, because I'm the same age as yinz. I do exactly the same Murph Math as Murph does. I know I graduated high school in 2004 and work backwards from there!
Hey fellow Pittsburgher 👋
Personal moment of pride is me killing it at these questions. Apparently I really have imprinted on when Chumbawamba and Lisa Loeb did things!
This had me cackling and it healed me a little bit thank you guys
Unfortunate knicks player to blame for Covid since Kats mom died from it lol
When did things come out is sweeping MY nation
You guys should introduce a bonus / double jeopardy style round called “When Was It Discontinued / Canceled / Taken Off The Shelves”
I often times listen to these kinds of episodes over multiple days. I’ll put them on while I’m sleeping, using the timer feature. Then pick them up the next day or so. I just listened to the whole thing. It’s 12:30 PM. I have to wake up at 6:30 AM. Worth it.
please more of this omg
The best part of this show is when someone says 'Great guess', immediately after getting confirmation that the geuss was wrong.
We have had some of the best Murph crash outs recently, top tier stuff, love you guys ❤️❤️
I would’ve loved if Murph lost to sympathy points personally
yall could play when did things come out weekly and unfortunately i would one million percent listen to every ep
I love Murph, the totally normal guy.
i do remember spellcheck, please renew another season🥺
I second this. Spell check was great
Bring back spellcheck please!
This definitely needs a time limit per question. Tho it's always great to see totally normal guy murph
i haven’t even made it past the intro but i can’t stand for this spell check slander. i think wistfully about spell check all the time. when will spell check return from the war
Why isn't Caldwell sponsored by Monster yet? He's a fucking energy drink sommelier and he knows so well the smooth gasoline taste we crave
We need to reduction that logic point man, what even is this game show anymore (I love you guys 💜)
Murph really lost his integrity with that logic point :/ sorry not sorry
god Damnit, this autoplayed, and I really thought I was listening to spellcheck, but instead it was the worst game show in the world.
This show is amazing! More episodes!
Yall really dialed this in. I wouldn’t mind more of this lol
I can't believe Murph only won because of his logic point. Just like Nixon (rip).
Gone too soon 😩✌️
This was so fucking good!
When did things come out? - theme song set to the tune "How to Save a Life?" 💜
My birthday is on the anniversary of JFKs assassination, so I was screaming when Jake said 65 lmao I KNEW THIS KNOWLEDGE WOULD COME IN HANDY ONE DAY
Really loving Murph entering his scamp era
As a historian, the fact that they don't know when the Cuban Missile Crisis was is a bummer.
Jake’s “it could have been any time” truly killed me
One thing I always have to do Murph math for is remembering when the green skittle came out, because I know it was the summer after I was in 7th grade
I love you guys. But I'm actually a little disappointed in the jfk reveal, gang. Oh and bring back spellcheck! Please
Rip spellcheck
Like A flu ridden Micheal Jordan in game 5 of the 97 finals Murph pulls thru and shows what champions are made of .
you either die ‘i’m not gonna waste your time binky’ murph in spellcheck or live long enough to become ‘murph math’ murph in WDTCO? 😔
“Gang, it’s important to remember that things have always been bad, you know.” Amen to that, Murph
https://youtu.be/fFeAzkUBkkQ?si=d8KIR43UwMxf0ITN Just found a video about a Blue Hole that kills people.
murph is such a sore winner LMAO
Murph has come a long way from “Binky, I’m not gonna waste your time”
Will forever enjoy a Murphy crash out 🤣
I listen to Spell Check like every 6 months so I definitely remember that intro
In honour of Murph's amazing showing in the Cog Fog game, I googled when the famous Michael Jordan Flu game was. I won't spoil it in case they bring it up next time they play
Not me taking a COVID test having now learned of razorblade throat...
Insanely funny as always folks
I would LOVE for the contextual clues to be posted somewhere
Emily revealed last time that she just does a Wikipedia search on the year, then picks a couple interesting events from the list
Why did I already know Solo was founded in 1936? Where would I have heard that before?
I know it’s all in good fun and i don’t mean to be negative, and i guess there’s extenuating circumstances, but it does always make me a little sad when Murph tells/yells at Emily to shut up.
Ban Murph Math he's clearly cheating!!!
Emily needs to maintain the integrity of the game!! What are all these sympathy points!? Murph deserevs better!
Murph math for the win
Calling it the Mega Drive threw 'em off good. Mega Drive is just what they called the Genesis in other countries. Europe and the like.
The Murph Math cut of this episode is two hours long
Unironically love this show
In all seriousness, I genuinely love when did things come out and actively play it with my friends and family (along side surprise round) and it’s a huge hit so I do think nadpod does actually deserve some recognition for creating a new and fun game
sounds like it’s kinda sweeping the nation
It's been years since Spell Check?!?!
I hope murph knows I would only complain about the extra points if he won using them. But like actually this was truly a godlike episode for the King of Tiny Ls and COVID
That was the best JFK impression I've ever heard
Random, but highly recommend the 1987 Garfield Christmas special for next year’s hogliday view crew. It’s actually good (or at least my nostalgia-riddled mind has convinced me it is).
JFK ASSASSINATED NOVEMBER 22 1963
Yes but the Cuban missile crisis was 62
JFK assassinated in 1963 though??
Well the missile crisis didn't kill him lol
Murph, I believe there is a open spot on jeopardy
Murph should get an integrity point for keeping this show ethical
The Jordan Flu Game of When Did Things Come Out
Murph Math should be taught in every high school.
Did your high school not have Murph Math? I thought everyone had that
I think Caldwell and Jake deserve an audience point from us for putting up with Murph's berating.
Spell check!
Jake deserved more bravery points for how scary that basement sounds
Wow, if ‘I’m glad my mom died’ only counts as mildly depressing in Cauldwell’s book, I shiver to think what kind of auto biographical literature he’s used to 😅
Bring back spellcheck
the way i Immediately thought “wait isnt that the spellcheck intro??”
All-timer of a performance from Murphy here, you don't get to see this often folks
Said "what???" out loud with the boys when Emily said Carly had a pregnancy scare
I could listen to this show daily
This may be one of my favorite patrion show categories! I could listen to 1000 episodes of this!
Missed opportunity up top: When Did Things Come Out: Jake's house!
Omg Murph getting the coutdown and crashing out. This might be the funniest pod in a while god damn
“when in doubt…guess 9/11 - i’m gonna say 2001” - couldn’t stop laughing after caldwell said this gem
Coffee fully out my nose thanks to “it’s a shame. gone too soon, king”, thanks Caldwell 😂
yessss i love WDTCO! also i see absolutely nothing wrong with emily's point-scoring system
did y’all hear that they’re not even teaching murph math in schools anymore?
run of the century for murph unfortunately
Caldwell knowing the Doctor Robotnik secret origin but not knowing that the Mega Drive is just what the Genesis was called outside of North America is really funny to me for some reason
Yall I definitely haven't forgotten about spellcheck for sure want another one
When they try to put a timer on Murph math but bro actually pulls out the right answer again. They had to nerf my goat 😭
They each earned a jealousy point for trying to stop his run 🤣
It’s so funny how being really sick can actually help you lock in so much harder in some ways, but then ruins you every other way. Murph really demonstrated that today
Loving the choice to drop the episode where people shout at each other about things they're pretty sure about and one of them has COVID just after Christmas. Very immersive stuff. Amazing content gang - rest up & looking forward to what's cooking in 2026
Here for the Murph math. Hope you feel better soon ❣️
Absolutely cracked up when Jake said "that's JFK so.... 1965". And then Murph at 1968, wild lol
Also Murph 100% needs a timer. Take away his logic point!
Please let this year be the year of 'When did Things Come Out"!
Jake deserved more decorum points
so many classic murph freak outs in this
"don't make me scream I have razor throat" *proceeds to scream throughout the rest of the episode*
Oh, we remember Spellcheck.. and Murph? Unreal, man.
RIP Richard Nixon - gone too young
caldwell calling “i’m glad my mom died” a “slightly depressing memoir” was an all time understatement i fear (he clearly hasn’t read it but also if you haven’t read it and are a jennette mccurdy or icarly fan - it’s absolutely excellent (and incredibly devastating h o l y s h i t))
Hell we have 2 copies of it it's that worth the read
feel better and make sure you get lots of rest, murph! rest is the only factor found to have a statistically significant effect on whether or not someone will develop long covid symptoms. resting while acutely infected and refraining from strenuous physical activity for around three weeks afterwards is really important. and as someone who rang in last year by fighting a covid infection, i promise it’s not a bad omen for the rest of the year :)
I’m re- listening to the old ones and spell check is absolutely the last episode I listened to in my replay 😅😅😅
UK naddpoles are we hearing the BBC News music or am I insane
I was just wondering if that was the actual sample!
Jordan had the Flu Game, Murph had the Cog Fog Game. Legends never die
best way to ring in 2026
I rewatched Charlie’s Angels (2000, I won’t play your sick game) last night and was shocked by how much Crispin Glover looks like Evil Caldwell. Could not watch any scene with him without thinking that
MURPH OPENED HIS THIRD, MAYBE EVEN FOURTH EYE. jfc my sides are broken
it was like watching that one fight scene in an anime where the main protag seems beaten and downtrodden as though they are about to lose, and then proceeds to light up everybody's asses with a level of power they didn't even know they had
happy new year to ME this is a gift
Well played but we all know the Resplendent Researcher is the real star here!
I owned Return of the King on VHS. I feel seen.
Pepperidge Farms remembers Spellcheck
Move over Common Core, it's time to institute Murph Math in all K-12 schools
First, Jordan had the flu game. Now, Murphy has had the fog game. #twogreats
Controversial opinion: unhinged murph math is great #noregrets
Yesss
Need a time limit on Murph’s answers.
They need to get Murph on Game Changer with Siobhan.
I love when Murph becomes a menace to those around him
Can’t believe they let Murph compete with a performance enhancing illness
The people remember Spell Check, we were swept!
Kinda
Spell Check swept my nation and I want it to again
I REMEMBER THE JUSTIN BEIBER THING HAPPENING WHEN I WAS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL I was genuinely so horrified and was flabbergasted that of all places to piss he’d pick a fucking mop bucket. Like what about just like a regular bucket. Or a can. Or like idk legit anything else, the SIDEWALK for fucks sake
Please never stop doing these
I will now live my life via Murph Math.
My mind IMMEDIATELY went to that 70’show aswell
I will pay any amount of money for the chance to be a listener guest on an episode of my favorite game show. I also graduated in 2004 (from a Jersey high school), and my brain is rotten, so I am perfectly positioned to be a formidable opponent.
Wait a minute? Jake’s daughter’s name is Gemma? I had no idea!!! That is glorious!!!
I remember spell check
Razorblade Throat is a great band name
Can't believe they tried to rob murph😤😤😤😤
Spell Check episode when???
It's so funny this came out today because last night at my friend's house, I explained this game. We were watching the Ryan Seacrest New year's Eve show and OneRepublic was performing and we couldn't remember when apologize came out and I thought this is the perfect chance to play When Did Things Come Out. The answer was 2007.
The world's worst game show 🥰 honestly my favorite bonus show format.
I literally was just listening to the spell check episode
More spell check! More surprise round! More more more!
WE ALL REMEMBER SPELLCHECK
I remember spellcheck
Jordan’s flu game got nothing on Murph’s covid game.
Murph is being a real sore winner, in my opinion
I promise, we all remember spell check And I personally want more spell check. So badly
I remember Conon O Brian Flossing on his original Late night Show
Oof, KAT is an unfortunate choice for that bit.
Wait is this not spell check??? Man... I was looking forward to that one
Wait I thought this was Spell Check
Not to be a Debbie Downer, but Karl Anthony Towns lost like 7 family members to COVID, including his mom and uncle. Obviously it was unintentional but he may be the single worst person to pick for the bit.
Ascendant king 🙏 Thoughts and prayers 🙏
My show is on!
Thank goodness Emily clarified that this wasn't the show that is kind of sweeping the nation: Spell Check I was very confused for a moment
What a pleasant surprise!
A true hogliday miracle! Thank you!
None of us have forgotten Spell Check, trust me.
YESSSS BEST START TO THE NEW YEAR
Intro nix 2026?
When did 2026 come out hell yeah
Can't think of a better way to kick the year off
Fuck yes happy new year indeed
