CAGcast used to be a decent podcast about video games. Now Cheapy mostly discusses table tennis, rowing at Orange Theory, weed and his complaints about his neighbors and just people in general. Wombat likes to discuss terrible shows on streaming services and Fortnite. Occasionally Shipwreck will try to steer the conversation back to video games but is often thwarted. I hope eventually the show can get back on track. Until then we will have to endure the belches, penis jokes and other immature humor ripped off of Howard Stern (Cheapy’s favorite).

The show is on my weekly podcast list. Yes it does have its moments where you can visualize wombat holding his breath about his views (I lol at him squirming in his seat when the Harry Potter game was smashing records and he couldn't stand it, and then cheapy just poking away at him knowing it was driving him nuts). We still love ya Wombat. Anyways, as I said, give it a listen, Shipwreck is the real star here, he should probably start his own podcast dedicated to his video game addiction of new and old games.

Normally I would just skip past the political portions of the show but now it’s every single show. Wombat is the problem. He seems to think he’s changing hearts and minds by spouting Pro Trans and anti woke rhetoric whenever he can but he’s not. I come here to hear talk about gaming and anything except current events or political talk. I can get that almost anywhere else. This show used to be fun but now that’s long gone. Maybe one day they will drop Wombat and the show will be listenable. Until than, there are other podcasts out there that can steer down the middle without swerving to the left or right.

you 3 hit the perfect blend of informative, laugh out loud moments and respecting your fan’s time; no one does it better! Thank you

Used to love this podcast. Mostly wombat crying how he hates people. Sadly I can’t recommend this anymore. Best of luck guys. Who DEY Ship!

I have listened to this podcast since the beginning, but in recent years have fallen off. It has become way too political. I’ll put on a episode every now and again to see how it’s going, but each and every random one I pick gets political. The last one was probably one of the worst as wombat called Nick Merc an F’ng A hole and him and Cheapy went on a rant because he had the radical stance and the audacity to say “we just need to leave the kids out of it.” What an insane stance for a person to take. Thanks for all the past memories guys but I can’t take your incessant intolerance anymore. You used to be the tops on gaming content and fun, seemingly those days are long gone and I don’t think they’re coming back. Gotta unsubscribe.

This latest episode was the last straw for me. Wombat cannot handle discourse what so ever. Everything he disagrees with no matter how mild he takes as a personal attack. Everything he agrees with he is mindbroken if you have another opinion to his own. He has been the worst part of the show for years, but now they just don’t even try anymore. I would love to have a show with just Cheapy, Shipwreck and a rotating series of guests. I will not resubscribe until Wombat is gone. Get that obese manlet out of here.

Wow, I have been listening since the beginning. Really loved the enthusiasm they used to have for games, and shows. Now it has become a steaming pile of Trans ideology and old man on porch discourse. Wombat is a full fledged hater of half of the world. If you don't blindly agree with his view on Trans rights or LGBTIA agenda you are a right wing nut and should leave. Well, here I go. Wombat is an overweight, non practicing, cultural Jew who cares more about "representation" than the truth of the Torah or serving the God he claims to be chosen by. He will never concede a point even when faced with overwhelming evidence to the contrary. His unwillingness to even consider a different opinion is probably why he is so depressed and feeds his insecurity through an obsession with TV shows, comics, food, movies, and gaming. Cheapy lives in a fantasy world driven by the echo chamber of left wing pundits like Howard Stern. He is sometimes open to different opinions, but mostly just talks about numbing through Marijuana and porn addiction. He also claims Judaism, but somehow worse at it than wombat. Despite thousands of critical comments about how they treat the audience and half the living globe, they double down in their hate and ignorance of basic social issues. The guy who used to say things were "Gay" is all of a sudden somehow more reprehensible in his hate for anyone who likes anything conservative. Even guys who are independent like Elon must me labeled as right wingers who wear MAGA hats and are racist. They talk about social issues but don't even investigate outside a headline or a few paragraphs or reading. "How could parents want books banned from libraries?""Because right wingers hate gays." - end of discussion 🤡🤡🤡. Ship also just sits there and says nothing. He used to claim a more conservative Christian view on things but just seems disinterested, probably realizing that trying to talk to wombat is a fools errand. Ship was they guy we all wanted to be. Smart, successful, great family. But has traded all of his convictions in for a non-confrontational relationship with the other two. I never wanted this pod to end, but clearly it died years ago. I will now unsubscribe like many before. My hard earned cash will support other sponsors and different shows. Congratulations wombat, you can continue hating everyone else because you actually hate who you have become and what you believe.

Another podcast going as hard as possible in the paint about Hogwarts but has no problem with Russian propaganda in Atomic Heart. I guess verbal attacks are more important than literal invasions and murder on a mass scale. Get fukt.

Love this podcast. Been listening since it started. Glad Wombat and Ship are still playing games, wish Cheapy would get back into them, but I 100% support his ping-pong volunteer work. Good stuff. And yeah, Wombat is on the right side of the issues: you know, being a good human and stuff. I'll keep listening as long as he's podcasting.

You 3 hosts I will believe in. Hence been listening since 2009. And I’m proud Cheepy thinks Auralnauts is cool. You talk about Larry!, Watch the whole trilogy starting with episode 1, “Jedi Party” from Auralnauts. You three are my friends. 👍

I have been listening for far to long but still enjoy the show. Wombat is the only true gamer on the show these days. Cheapy has grown to care more about table tennis and becoming howard stern while battling raccoons in his yard. Ship is just the guy who buys everything and likes playing terrible licensed games. Thankfully wombat is around to keep the show great and in the video game genre still. #TrueGamerWombat Update: Wombat is still the only interesting gamer on the show now. I have not listened in 6 months, it has just gotten boring. 2 of the 3 hosts seem to no longer care about video games but want to podcast about video games. Maybe time to hand over the show to wombat, change can be good. Cheapy can start a ping pongcast and ship can start something…

I really hope they consider editing out the sniffs and loud belches from this podcast.

I started listening to this podcast when I was 14 and delivering newspapers. I remember loading it up on my iPod mini before going out for the day. I am now 29 and still listening. Love the talk of games and new tv shows as well as the personal anecdotes shared by the cast. Thank you for the consistency, laughs and recommendations (currently watching yellowjackets thanks to cheapy, great show btw). Keep up the good work. Also found it interesting that Wombat vacationed in my hometown of Lancaster lol. Been a great ride as long as y’all keep making them I will be listening! -Alex

I've tolerated the blatant politicizing for a long time but it has gotten to be too much. In particular is Wombat's virulent position toward anyone who disagrees with his stances on various subjects. His responses are almost universally demeaning and his rancor is thoroughly offputting. Personally, I couldn't care less what you're individual political leanings are when I'm listening to a video game podcast but I don't want to hear them regardless of where they fall on the spectrum. When I'm listening to a video game podcast I want to hear conversations about video games. It's not a particularly difficult concept to grasp or execute. However, since the CAGcast is failing to do so and has been for quite some time now, this mutli-year listener will not be listening any longer. You had a good thing going and you blew it.

My brother got me to listen to this show. He had been listening to these guys for years. We are in the same age group , in our forties. It’s supposed to be a gaming podcast, but they mostly talk about other things. They are usually pretty funny , mostly Wombat , not sure if that’s how it’s spelled . They have been getting some bad reviews from some “ listeners “, because of their supposed left wing opinions. I guess now a days, being normal and caring about your childrens health is considered being left wing nut . Whatever , great show. I laugh out loud a few times every episode. Ep 703 , when the other guys were giving Wombat a hard time about using an air mattress while camping had me dying. I camp a lot , so I was on Wombats side.

One of my favorite video game adjacent podcasts. Only like 15% political, not as much as some snowflakes on here make it seem. Almost had to give 4 stars because of the lack of camping knowledge all hosts have, but then I remembered it’s a video game podcast, so I can’t complain.

I have been listening to the Cagcast for years and look forward to every episode. I really enjoy hearing the personal stories week to week. You guys rock, keep putting out the great content!

I have been listening for over a decade. This is the only podcast I make sure to never skip an episode. Keep up the great work guys!

This is the only podcast I consistently listen to, going on about a decade now. The guys are funny, give plenty of info about games, and parenting and movie recs are great too.

First of all, I’ve listened to every single episode since around 2008, and I have counted Every single belch and burp from Cheapy D.. I have counted 726 as of this writing, this includes the “blog talk radio” holiday specials which are on different feed, but I still have archived on my Nano ipod..keep in mind the first couple of episodes don’t have “eructation” sounds, but it starts to pick up very gradually. They are truly video game outsiders and I’ve made purchases due to their knowledge..

Great podcast that has adjusted to life as we all grow older with them. As a gamer with an 9 year old step daughter, I appreciate listening to a gaming podcast that understands the family side of life and how that now mixes into gaming life. The podcast can definitely get a little sciencey on occasion thanks to what’s going on in the world, but that’s life in 2021. Mostly just leaving this 5 star review to take away one of those 1 star political crazy reviewers. Eat it crazies. Great podcast guys. Keep it up.

The older I get, the more valuable I find the humorous and to-the-point critique this show provides when it comes to how one should spend their time and money. As a parent with less free time on my hands, the three hosts provide a relevant point of view when it comes to how evaluate worthwhile media. And they do it in a socially responsible yet humorous way every week. I can only hope to be the kind of parent Wombat is (and I guess Cheapy and Shipwreck are pretty good too). The show ages like a fine wine! LOVE the political talk!

I use to think they were just oblivious to their constant political talk bleeding through to the podcast but it is quite clear to see that they do not want people like me to listen anymore. No problem with that, I quit following all 3 of them on Twitter years ago because of the total nonsense filling up my feed. Same will be happening for my Podcast feed now and I clearly see I am not alone here! Good luck on your show guys. I think you will need it judging from all the reviews recently. PS I second that reviewer who mentioned Sacred Symbols for their Podcast fix that for whatever reason the 3 Cagcast hosts decided to make fun of on a recent episode. Its a much better listen than this garbage has been for years and they actually have a variety of views on it.

I have been listening to this podcast for over 10 years. I remember the days when Shipwreck was just a guest, when Tai was just born,etc etc. In my personal life, I have been through a lot of ups and downs, lived in a few cities but every week I couldn’t miss the cagcast….until now. The show went from 3 funny/happy guys talking about games and their life’s for an hour to 3 guys complaining about movies and tv shows for 40 minutes(not sure why they watch so many things they hate),15 minutes of complaining about games/making fun of switch games,5 minutes of cheapy burping,15 minutes of Wombat complaining about far left/sjw stuff(his political views) & 5 minutes on Fortnite(hardcore games love to hear about fornite every week…..smh). Then you will hear “Breads done!” Well the toast is burnt, I hope they turn it around but I will never find out. On to find a new video game podcast. Thanks guys for all the memories.

Please get back to your roots and talk about gaming news and deals from retailers and stop the political talk. Not only is it sad to see this happen WEEK AFTER WEEK but it is even more pathetic to listen to a 50 year old man talk about Fortnite every week. I feel bad for Shipwreck who actually has to sit there through it every week. He might lean that way politically but you can tell hes not on board with the constant political talk on the show which is why he hardly ever chimes in. If yall want to kill your shows growth then keep it up, just stop the crying about people like me leaving you 1 star reviews every week then after you spew woke lefty propaganda for yet another week.

Leaving a 1 star review because the show simply is not good anymore and it seems to really upset Cheapy, the 2 dollar Las Vegas version of Howard Stern, when people rightfully call out this show for being a joke due to the constant political talk and bias .We don't want to hear about how you got your 3rd jab, which Fortnite skins you bought last week or when your expected Hormone Blocker appointment is going down. Also, yes they barely talk about games.

It’s just ok. I listened. This is a podcast. It’s fine, it’s fine. Three stars. This is a podcast that I listen to. Obviously, they’re not terribly prepared, but they have like OK chemistry I heard and the production is really good. The microphones are good quality, but you know sometimes they just don’t know what they’re talking about.

I’ve listened to the CAGcast for roughly 12 years now and every episode makes my week so much better. Great video game podcast. ShipWreck, Wombat, and Cheapy are very funny and all have unique and different personalities. It’s like listening to a group of friends talk about their lives and video games.

Long time listener, I’ve gotten older and so have they, works for me. I’m concerned about different things now than I was 15 years ago, so are they. One of the better gaming podcasts for Parents and it’s got Jews!

Been a listener since that first episode that was 7 minutes long and talked about Katamari Damacy. I think. I even listened to it on my PSP at one point. I was a freshman in college. I don’t always agree with everything said or their tastes, but that’s fine, all three hosts are fantastic and I’ve immensely enjoyed being there to listen to their nerdy talks, personal lives and awesome moments like welcoming babies. I have a vivid memory of the highway I was driving when I heard about sabrina, which is a bit odd. I’ve never bothered with other podcasts, this one is superb. . If you are trump supporter, maybe you should re-examine your life because you are a bad person. And if you want politics out of this podcast, umm mate, everything has politics, ya might as well state you don’t like atoms in your life. Sure, I guess? . To CheapyD, thanks for making the website! To Shipwreck, I envy your ability to sleep for like 3 hours a day. To Wombat, truly a renaissance man, but you still owe me 1 million pesos, I forget the episode. Though the exchange range was way better back then. . And to all thanks for letting us be part of your life and family.

I have been listening to these guys talking, joking and arguing with each other for years and I am always entertained. They talk about other things not just video games and I might not agree with them sometimes but I still love the podcast. They are in my top 3 list of best podcasts. Highly recommend.

Have been listening since episode 10. Incredibly enjoyable and fun. Hosts have great chemistry, are smart and funny. Three good dudes having fun talking about stuff. Highly recommend.

Hey guys! I’m a mom of 1 boy. I enjoy the show, have been for years, its definitely not offensive at all, love hearing about the family. Keep up the good work!

If you want a fun and informative look at Gaming and Entertainment this is a mandatory Listen. If you haven’t heard an episode I pity you.

Getting harder and harder to listen. I want to hear about video games, TV, and movies. Stop with the politics.

This show used to be my favorite for all things gaming/comedy,but for the past few months it’s just turned into another liberal pushing agenda podcast with a little bit of gaming sprinkled in. I tune in for gaming new and not to be bashed over the head with liberal propaganda,if it continues I’ll unfortunately have to delete the podcast.

Used to enjoy a lot. Now all political.

This the first podcast I listened to in 2008. I feel like these guys have been part of my life for the longest time, but I think my and their ideology has been changing. This show is about discussing games, gaming deals, movies, tv shows and may be some personal life updates for all the hosts. However, this year their conversations have been very political and agenda driven. I came to listen to these guys to get away from real world issues, but Wombat’s insisting on talking about his agenda driven politics is slowly killing the show. I also think Shipwreck gets razzed by cheapy and wombat for some differing views on the current state of the world. I wish the team good luck and success with the path they have chosen to continue on. You guys have taken lot of stress away from my mind from my early college days up until now. I am not happy leaving a 2 star review, but maybe others can read this and try to understand why I chose to unsubscribe to this show after 12-13 years.

I use to listen to this show every week and it was a real enjoyable listen, especially during the Thanksgiving/Black Friday timespan. However, this show is so far gone and a shell of its former self now that I only listen to it every now and then and only if I have nothing else that week to listen to. The previous reviews are pretty much spot on. The 2 main hosts, Cheapy and Wombat, are hardcore leftists who cannot go 5 minutes without bringing up liberal propanda or talking points, many of which have already been debunked. Its basically a audio version of listening to Fauci or Maddow except its done by two middle aged men in New York with zero clue or understanding that there is a entire country outside of the coast and they play games too. Shipwreck to his credit avoids most of this and outside of talking about games that literally nobody every is interested in, I don't have a problem with what he brings to the show. They barely even talk about games. Their 70minute podcast consist of 15 minutes of them talking about their boring lives or trips to Cartoon Network Hotels, lecturing the listeners about masks, orange man is bad, how people should get the jab etc. Then they talk about movies/shows in a segment they use to call "Watch this B's" but ironically renamed to not offend people, lol yikes. At this point over the show is already over and you get some pretty boring and generic talk about newly released games. Then you have Wombat, a mid 40s year old man who obsesses over comic books have a segment where he discusses his gaming time on Fortnite, a game designed and targeted for 8 year olds. You get some Q&A for 5minutes and thats a wrap. It use to be a entertaining listen when they would talk about Wombat being the featured Xbox gamer, Horse rubbers in Japan, clothes hangar bathroom stories and such to go along with their gaming deal and news coverage. Now instead its just another podcast being used to push a far left agenda (which is fine if you are looking for that), but many people don't want that. For the record, I don't mind political topics and conversation in a gaming podcast. But when its always one sided and its constantly in your face every week, it gets old and it gets old VERY fast. If you are looking for a real gaming podcast, I highly suggest Sacred Symbols.

It's like listening to three good friends honestly discuss the week's entertainment options, with just the right amount of humor, ethics, and politics thrown in.

Love the podcast, only complaint if I could make one is I wish the show was longer!

Used to be good back in the watch this b**ches days. May as well subscribe to a cnn podcast. About the same content.

Look, I’m a simple man. I like beer. I play video games. I may or may not have stolen a podium from the house of Congress. And while I may not be as smart as your average Trump University grad, one thing I do know (and Q will agree with me here) is the CAGcast is the best video game podcast out there. After listening to these guys for so long, hearing their life stories as they grew from bargain hunting gamers into budget minded fathers, ping pong semi-pros and all-around curmudgeons, they feel like family. Keep it up guys.

These guys have been a huge part of my life. I have been here before podcasts was a thing. Hitting the website on my 2 foot deep viewsonic monitor. We are all mostly grown men. I appreciate all 3 of you and understand we all have opinions and feelings. These ultra sensitive listeners that have such fragile feelings can learn to adapt to this kind of environment Podcast have up to a 60 second fast forward. May I recommend you use it. Guess what guys this is a grown man podcast. Little kids are free to leave at anytime. Thank you guys for all you do!!

These guys are morons. I’d rather get my video game and political new from Fox News. They’re part of the reason Facebook got whistleblowed. Toxicity sales. Mongos😾

Only here because Cheapy D dropped a link and said we should drop our negative comments here and it sounded like fun. I have never listened to the podcast nor would I ever give it a try because it’s the last thing on this planet I could possibly want to listen to. I haven’t heard a single episode but I can tell you I wouldn’t wanna listen to 3 old nerds argue and talk about how back in their day a video game only cost them a nickel or the writing was better. You got an angry red head who’s sports team never wins, a bald guy who can’t stop obsessing with ping pong, and the last guy who tells dad jokes thinkinking he’s funny and calls himself a wombat. If that doesn’t have you running away I don’t know what will. Hope this was negative enough Cheapy D! ^~^ thanks for the deals on the site and good luck with whatever this is!

Love the show! Do we need to remove “Shipwreck’s Slightly Uncomfortable Question” segment for an “Audience Highly Uncomfortable Topic” segment where you talk about a subject and see how many bad reviews you can get?

Show is mostly about video games but expect plenty of movie and TV shows and a bit of real life snuck in as well. Opinions are those of 3 dads close to my own age (although my kids are older) with no real ties to the industry. Makes for a very relatable listen. I started listening back when it was just Cheapy and Wombat and loved it when Ship was permanently added to the mix. I have some of the “professional” game podcast in my regular rotation but CAG and P1P are the only ones I’ve never missed a single episode and move to the top of the queue when they drop. Content warning: Cheapy burps on mic a lot, he needs to get that looked at!

Been a listener since 2008 or so. The format has been the same for the most part, and the great banter has always been there: games, movies and beyond. I don’t understand how people can one star this show because they don’t agree with your politics you share every once in a while (and not “preachy” as some claim). Gaming is a hobby, but as a podcast subject, it can be pretty one-note. Keep on doing your thing, and read this, boyz!
