    Two Shills Who Shill Together
    Jez, a European who lives with his girlfriends parents, and Rand, a semi-active YouTuber who may or may not live in his parents’ basement, join forces to lick Microsoft juice off of each others faces. Jez will wax poetically one moment about the perils of capitalism, while defending Microsoft’s business practices in the next. Rand from Chicagoland tries to play the straight man, but criticism of his love of walking simulators such as Hellblade 2 and his excitement for games with “recasting” such as Alan Wake 2 often vexes him. Either way, don’t touch their no no squares by suggesting that Microsoft is moving towards becoming a multi-platform publisher and away from being an exclusive video game platform.

    Best Insight
    Not only do they cover the most relevant topics but there’s really a strategic bent to it, giving you insider institutional knowledge regarding how Microsoft and Xbox brass tend to think and act in this wildly lucrative but at times volatile business. Not only that they’ll discuss what games they’re playing or what’s good, what’s coming out. It really gives a unique view into the business of Xbox gaming and the love of gaming overall. Was looking for a podcast just like this and listened to a few before thing this one and have been listening faithfully ever since. Pass the Mayo!

    Incredible
    This show continues to blow me away. Not only is it the best Xbox podcast but is quickly becoming if not has already become the best gaming podcast out there. Rand and Jez are such humble individuals and they continue to hit new heights with interviewing industry veterans and having such respect for all gamers and developers. This show is such an amazing listen each week and I recommend adding it to your weekly listen.

    Best gaming podcast period
    This is the best podcast available for sure. Jez and Rand have the best amd most balanced discussion about gaming. I had to unsubsidize from Mr boomsticks channel since the toxic, one sided anti Playstation discussion became a bit trite and one-note after a while. If you're not interested in cheerleading Xbox while sideswiping Playstation, that place will wear you down quickly. At any rate, good luck with your new PC Rand and I look forward to placing a face with voice once you get your Webcam all set up hahaha. Good luck and godspeed to both of you and I look forward to hearing you guys for many more years to come. God bless K. Lee GameFan

    Gross
    They gave a platform to the alt-right Colin Moriarty. Disgusting behavior.
  • iRaUnSpokenHero
    Tried this again
    This is the second time I’ve tried to listen to this podcast… and Rand is a whiny, immature, little man. He’s really hard to listen to. The co-host on the other hand is really good.

    Xbox orgasms
    I started listing on a whim, and wholly smokes I’m glade I did! I played just a ton of video games growing up, but not so much in the last few years. But these two got me hyped to start playing again! Also, drunky Jez is an absolute gift to humans!
  • Registerd Nerd

    Why Another Xbox gen??
    I got Xbox one X 3 or 4 years ago during a Black Friday sale and it has been the best investment because if I waited for the next gen series S or X then I would have been wait forever due to shortages and waiting lists. Forza horizon 5 run well except for 1 or 2 min load times. Apex runs great. I still can not justify the Xbox series S or X when my Xbox one X is running strong if a little slow.

    The best Xbox podcast
    Most Xbox podcasts talk about the news. This Xbox podcast creates the news (you see what I did there?) 😁
  • Caru14141
    Super Fun Xbox Podcast

  • XBOX2Xhigh
    Excellent XBOX Podcast
    I’ve been listening to this Podcast since 2017. These guys do a great job of discussing XBOX centric and general gaming news and content. I can’t always listen live, so I really appreciate the podcasting services. Rand and Jez are great, thank you for the years of great content. -Mark Bailey in Houston

  • Guiro13
    The best Xbox Podcast !
    Rand “ the Popeye “ al thor and Jez “ the Boozehound “ Corden are the best host of any podcast periodt. They don’t go around the bush to tell the truth and at the same time , they make the podcast entertaining with their hate for all nintendo and their love for peppa pig 🤣🤣.
  • ThePallbearer
    Great, was a slower burn for me
    Great show, Rand and Jez didn’t exactly sit with me at first. But they stick with their views and both won me over! Now my main source of info when traveling for work.
  • NCSUwolfpacker11
    The true Xbox podcast
    The one and only Xbox two. You already know this is where to go to get hot takes and the biggest scoops. Rand and Jez are the best.
  • DonKosh11

    Thanks for keeping me Xbox informed
  • Gettysburg11
    My favorite XBOX podcast
    Rand and Jez always keep it real, give their honest opinions, cover a wide variety of topics, and have lots of fun while doing it. I always look forward to listening to each episode!
  • Ballistik1
    Awesome podcast
    I love these two guys. Great topics, fair opinions, and great banter. Always at the top of my must listen to shows.
  • Chrisfury!
    Mayo and fries
    I just had Mayo and fries jez, it’s not great, it’s basically whipped eggs on fries, but great podcast!
  • Jacob La.
    Update the show weekly on Spotify/Apple Podcasts!!
    I love the show but I really wish you guys would update this “weekly” when the new episode releases. What’s the point of updating it “bi-weekly” when one of two episodes is outdated already.
  • snz51
    Could be a 5 star…..
    If Rand could please stop with the stupid stuff (mayo, etc.) and let Jez stick to news and opinion, this is easy a 5 star show. The other junk drags the show out and after the first time, the bit isn’t funny.
  • soCaRyan
    Alaska
    Y’all helped me keep the bears away while I was visiting the bush of Alaska. Thanks for the long podcasts. Some of us really appreciate good gaming info no matter where we are.
  • 3Cancer3
    Like Xbox
    This podcast is for you. Two buddies with great banter about gaming and mostly Xbox news/rumors/speculation.
  • Dexter Rhiley
    Meh
    If you like fanboys that deny they’re fanboys, and people that cast cynical remarks about everyone with an opposite position... this podcast is for you. These two talk like wanna be industry insiders. I’ve never heard two people complain about people complaining more. ZZZzzzZZZ
  • xektor17
    Simply the best!
    This is the best Xbox podcast you can listen to. Jez and Rand are great hosts and are honest and very knowledgeable. The podcast is always fun and funny. Love this podcast and Rand’s videos on YouTube.

  • Greg is Taken
    Love this podcast
    Listen to 5 gaming podcasts a week and this one is by far my favorite!
  • bobbyd384838
    Great Xbox talk!
    Love this podcast, listen every week that they do it if they don’t miss
  • Darcadia
    Love it
    Great content, great conversations
  • DavidPuddy77
    Not half bad
    It’s OK Rez is a narcissist who decides your a $&@! If you believe there are only two sexes. (Shouldn’t have even been mentioned in a video game podcast) Whines too much about stuff that has nothing to do with video games or the reason for this podcast.
  • Kdubdub45
    Best Xbox Podcast
    Love it!
  • Jarrid Best
    One of the best Xbox Podcasts
    Rand and Jez! What can I say? I’ve known Jez for over a decade, and you won’t find a more passionate and honest Xbox gamer out there. Sure, they lean pro Xbox, but it’s well done. Jez and Rand get inside information about everything Xbox. If you like Xbox, this is one of the best pods. Game on everyone.
  • SamK23
    An Ear Sore To Listen To
    Listened to one podcast and couldn't get through it. One of the host goes on to rant for almost 10 straight minutes of “I told you so”, and how is the king of news, etc. Terrible and not professional. You’re credibility should speak for itself and not ranting on it for most of your podcast. Plenty of other great gaming podcasts out there.
  • Darv123
    Xbox
    One of my favorite podcast both host are great.
  • lupinesihlord
    Meh
    Half hour into episode with random muttering, before they think about getting to the point. Been looking for an additional podcast to listen to...it’s not going to be this one
  • Coach Mahoney
    Might be the worst podcast ever.
    I’ve tried to give it a listen. With generic uniformed statements and bashing games based off their own bias.
  • K_Alex1
    Awesome Xbox podcast
    By far my favorite Xbox fan podcast. Jez and Rand are veteran Xbox gamers, reviewers and fans. Always great to hear what you guys have to say
  • Guilty 343
    Intelligently uninformed
    I've been listening to a lot of podcasts lately. Unfortunately this one not only doesn't stand out, but the members have been blatantly wrong about several issues. It's a want-to-be professional critic site. For example, they hammer on mass effect for it bugs and cite the Witcher as a perfect game, but Witcher faced atrocious bugs at launch. They definitely don't represent the gamer. That being said there is interesting speculation and good dialogue from what I've listened to.
