Joe should check out Castle Rat

I loved Nazi Diglet, it made me snort and chuckle so hard

Sam Maloney · September 14, 2026

For the record the Nazi Diglett joke is from episode 340 the battle of Fort Driant.

Joe Joe Joe don't stop cycling. Former Minneapolis delivery biker here riding a bike is the best feeling ever. Don't be ashamed embrace it.

I used to love biking through Loring Park and Downtown Minneapolis, singing Florence and the Machine at the top of my lungs.

Immediately listened to Brooklyn Zoo again.

Kinda disappointed that Joe finally learned to pronounce province

Could we get the first Iran/Iraq war series episode? I miss Nick, but it has gnawed at me. Never bothered with 1812 because its a random middle episode from the series alone.

David Schuller · September 10, 2026

Joe’s Midwestern malapropisms are one of the most endearing parts of the show. I love it when there is a regional rebellion in far flung “providence.”

Alex Varrus · September 10, 2026

Marko Ragnos. I see you KOTOR nerd you ain't slick

Currently staying in Dublin about a 10 minute walk from hit the spot, for sure going tonight 😂

I want a resin figurine of Emu Jima.

Oh, always!! It’s not a party until you are throwing on some winter tires on your bike and wondering if you actually got your brakes fixed!

Gil the Gilded Dragon · September 10, 2026

Carnival?! That was like 6 months ago

I'm sending the Hit the Spot logo to Maggie Webber, AKA The Refashioned Hippy, because I think it deserves to feature in her Bad Design series. The tagline for this series is "show your logo designs to a 13 year old boy." However I think Hit The Spot knows what they were doing.

Jalil Henry · September 10, 2026

Yes! Another Mishima episode! (someday lol)

Put some respect on Slug's name (the rapper in Atmosphere). You need sad music in the Midwest. Fuck you Lucy is a banger breakup song. Plus I can rap along without changing my Minnesota ass accent.

Also busdriver is great

Awh man, thought I'd submitted a question, sad I didn't get an answer.

A

Not bottom friendly.

Marc Bosse · September 9, 2026

On the matter of Edo Period Japan, the Going Rogue Podcast mentioned the LLDB 47 Ronin episode in their discussion of that movie.

B
Brandon Murphy · September 9, 2026

Jimmy dean's are named for the country singer not James dean. Jimmy was the spokesman for years and his picture on the box

We know. Tom doesn't

58:55 The Worst of All Possible Worlds have great episodes tearing The Last of Us games to shreads. Just nihilistic garbage.

S
Star maker 75 · September 10, 2026

Yeah the last of us(especially 2) story is eye rolling. Look i like my depressing and gritty stories. I mean one if my favorite comic is sin city and other stuff like. However last of us is trying too hard aka being grimderp Also it nice to see people taking the piss on last of us that isn't those annoying right wings that go "oh muscule lady or lesbians, it woke so it bad"

S
Stephen · September 9, 2026

Cycling in shitty weather, way to respect the PNW roots of this show!! Fucking love it.

J
Jonathan Bastow · September 9, 2026

Which episode was the origin of Eastern Horsodoxy?

S
Sam Maloney · September 14, 2026

Episode 386 the Siegeof Przemyśl I believe

yay MISHIMA revisit!!

NowhereMan661 · September 9, 2026

This podcast is singlehandedly responsible for me developing a White Monster addiction. I never even drank energy drinks before I started listening to this show.

A
Al · September 9, 2026

At least it's not Old Crow.

D
Doug King · September 9, 2026

Looks up the logo for Hits the Spot. Not disappointed in the what the fuck is thing level.

J
Joshua Bozarth · September 9, 2026

Its the way his head is off to the side like someone peeking behind themselves. The wink doesn't help either.
