The Squared Circle Time Machine: Episode 72 - WCW Halloween Havoc 1989

2026/10/28

It’s the spooky season on the SCTM as Greg and Dane head to Philly in 1989 for Halloween Havoc. Our Main Event is a Thunderdome Cage Match with Ric Flair and Sting facing off with Terry Funk and The Great Muta with Bruno Sammartino as the guest referee.

Episode 652--The Hilarious House of Frightenstein

2026/10/24

One week from now, the kiddies (and an adult or two) will dress up and scour the neighborhood for Halloween treats. I wish we had a treat for you. Instead, you get this Canadian entry from the early 70s with known quantities (and one really good and very appropriate quantity), but with little humor. Who puts in a legitimate science segment in the middle of comedy intended for kids? This show did!

The 506 Game: Episode 10 - Who's Nyquill Jornan?

2026/10/24

We hit double digits on The 506 Game and we look at the CFB Week 8 matchups following a crazy week of upsets along with looking at the NFL maps while discussing who's more unwatchable, the Dolphins or the Titans? We also pay tribute to the late Chicago Bulls legend Stacey King by playing a moment involving a Bulls fan wearing a bootleg MJ Jersey while hilarity ensued in the booth with Adam Amin.

Minisode 36--The Rich List

2026/10/21

During the MLB playoffs 20 years ago, FOX promoted this show extensively. What did they get for their efforts? One single episode, one of the select few shows to earn that distinction. Was the game bad, were people turned off by a host from overseas who very few people had heard of, or was the competition tough? Not necessarily, possibly, and sure.

The Squared Circle Time Machine: Episode 71 - NWA Clash of the Champions II: Miami Mayhem

2026/10/19

Greg and Dane hit South Beach for Clash of the Champions II: Miami Mayhem. In this episode we see a contract signing on a yacht between Ric Flair and Lex Luger for the upcoming Great American Bash PPV along with a main event for the World Tag Team Championship between Arn & Tully against Sting & Dusty Rhodes. Also, we get to see the preview for the Tower of Doom from Kevin Sullivan while Greg and Dane end up #1800235DEAD.

The 506 Game: Episode 9 - What's in a Billy Edwards Jr. Breakfast?

2026/10/17

In Episode 9 of The 506 Game, we look at some of the recent shakeups in the CFB world with the impending approval of the 24-team College Football Playoff bracket next year. We also ask ourselves how was Tom Hart's hotel breakfast so damn bad he compared it to a UNC Quarterback?

Episode 651--The Tomorrow People (2013 CW reboot)

2026/10/16

We begin the final 50 episodes of this podcast (tentatively) with a sci-fi series which started in the 1970s, was rebooted by Nickelodeon in the 1990s, and was rebooted yet again in the 2010s. Was the third time a charm? There must be a reason why we're covering it, besides being a CW entry.

The "It Was a Thing on TV" Hall of Fame Class of 2026

2026/10/15

It's been a long time coming but we finally present our show HoF Class of 2026. It's a short class of inductees this year with only seven but we feel that the inductees including our three headliners are all worthy of being with our previous inductees from past years.

Episode 650--Aliens in the Family

2026/10/10

ABC's TGIF block wasn't all rousing successes like Full House, Family Matters, and later Boy Meets World and Step by Step. You had absolute failures like this entry from The Jim Henson Company, a sitcom which had Dinosaurs roots but lacked Dinosaurs' charm. Bobut was no Baby Sinclair.

The 506 Game: Episode 8 - What Stadium Giveaways are at Mike Tomlin's Minecraft Stadium?

2026/10/10

In Episode 8 of The 506 Game, Greg and Mike talk MLB playoffs, Goalie Goals and the CFB/NFL announcer slate for this week. Be warned that CBS' map for this week is out there with the gerrymandering. As a bonus for you card fans, at 57:25 Mike busts a box of Topps Allen & Ginter 2026. Can Mike pull an Anne Hathaway card in the box?

The Squared Circle Time Machine: Episode 70 - NWA-TNA Weekly PPV #2

2026/10/06

In Episode 2 of the SCTM, Greg and Dane looked at the first NWA-TNA Weekly PPV from 2002. A year and a half later, they look at the follow-up PPV from the following week. We have an amazing four-way match to crown the first-ever X-Division Champ and a whole lot of crap underneath. But we do get the one and only TNA appearance of the man, the myth, the legend, CHEEX!

The 506 Game: Episode 7 - Was Jumping Up and Down Worth the ACL Tear Bill?

2026/10/03

In Episode 7 of The 506 Game, Mike and Greg look at the announcers from this week's MLB Wild Card series on NBC along with the CFB Announcers in Week 5, and the weirdest gerrymandered map for the NFL from FOX in the Week 4 slate. We also have Mike discuss this past week's sporting events in Cleveland, with the surprising early success for the Browns and the Guardians starting their playoff run in the ALDS this weekend.

Episode 649--Bring 'Em Back Alive

2026/10/02

How many times have we talked about television networks trying to capitalize off of the proverbial flavor of the month? It happened in 1982, when networks scrambled to find their Indiana Jones. ABC went with Tales of the Gold Monkey. CBS went with this entry, about Frank Buck, an actual animal collector who, supposedly, brought every single one of 'em back alive.

The Squared Circle Time Machine: Episode 69 - WWE Unforgiven 2005

2026/09/28

In the nicest episode of the SCTM, Greg and Dane return to 2005 WWE for Unforgiven '05 from Oklahoma City. The Invisible Man defends the WWE Title against Kurt Angle, Matt Hardy and Edge battle in a Steel Cage and can Ric Flair handle four lovely ladies in a limo in one night?

The 506 Game: Episode 6 - Why Didn't NC State Run to the Back of the Endzone for a Safety?

2026/09/26

Greg and Mike in Episode 6 of The 506 Game look at this week's CFB and NFL broadcasting pairs while talking about the ending of last week's NC State/Vanderbilt game, the upcoming MLB postseason, and some new songs Greg created on Suno for two of our recurring segments!

Fun show

I really enjoyed the episode on Second Chance but I have to say the one co-host’s Dad has some weird ideas on how to improve sports.
