Tommy James and Sabrina Ace finally made it into the fog for Halloween Horror Nights 35... and had two VERY different nights. We're talking the houses we loved, the ones that disappointed the hell out of us, way too many clowns, Sabrina's drunken bachelorette/birthday celebration, Tommy's mom getting her ass kicked by scare actors, and one hell of a tribute to Ozzy Osbourne.

Welcome back to I Killed My Tamagotchi! The tape starts rolling and Tommy James confesses that every Sunday night before school, he'd watch Wayne's World... followed by Spice World. That confession launches the first You Only Get 10: Guilty Pleasure Movies, as Tommy and Matt each bring ten movies they're almost embarrassed to admit they love and fight to build the ultimate guilty pleasure box set. Plus, "Dude! Where's Malave?" makes its debut, challenging listeners to help solve Mista Malave's foggy journeys, three souvenirs at a time.

Welcome back to I Killed My Tamagotchi! The tape starts rolling and Mista Malave finally makes his long-awaited debut with a confession that proves his childhood obsession with Britney Spears may have gone just a little too far. With A-Town away, Tommy James and Mista Malave aka. The Music Man expand Secret Mixtape Vol. 1 with five more guilty pleasure songs, defending forgotten favorites, revisiting pop classics, and debating which tracks deserve a place on the Deluxe Edition of the mixtape. Along the way, they rewind to the releases of Terminator 2: Judgment Day and Independence Day in "Where Were We When?" Plus, the latest Heartthrob email finally catches Mista Malave up on everything he's missed, bringing him up to speed to solving the season-long mystery.

Welcome back to I Killed My Tamagotchi! Tommy James and Alex "A-Town" Ryan kick off the first-ever Secret Mixtape, each bringing ten guilty pleasure songs to the table but with only ten spots available, every pick has to earn its place. Along the way, they debate what truly qualifies as a guilty pleasure, defend some questionable favorites, and try to build the ultimate nostalgic playlist. Plus, "Where Were We When?" rewinds to June 28, 1997, another Heartthrob email delivers a brand-new clue, and the nostalgia keeps rolling. Press play... because every mixtape tells a story.

Welcome back to I Killed My Tamagotchi! Tommy James and Alex "A-Town" Ryan morph into the world of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers to revisit the franchise that helped define a generation. From unforgettable Rangers and iconic villains to the episodes that still hold up today, the guys debate what made the original series so special—and why some of its biggest creative decisions still spark arguments decades later. Plus, "Where Were We When?" rewinds to the pop culture of 1993, another Heartthrob email delivers a new clue, and the nostalgia is at full power. It's Morphin Time... press play.

Welcome back to I Killed My Tamagotchi!

Plus, "Where Were We When?" looks back at the pop culture of the time, another Heartthrob email delivers a new clue, and nostalgia is the biggest winner of the day.

Welcome to the very first episode of I Killed My Tamagotchi! Tommy James and Alex "A-Town" Ryan take on one of the toughest nostalgic debates imaginable: ranking the greatest songs from the Disney Renaissance. From unforgettable ballads to show-stopping anthems, every pick is up for debate as they try to decide which classics truly deserve a place at the top. Plus, "Where Were We When?" heads back to 1999 for Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, the New York Knicks' Finals run, and yet another conversation about the Disney movie Tommy somehow still hasn't seen. The season-long Heartthrob mystery also begins with its very first clue. So press play... because every tape starts with a confession.

Mista Malave steps in as host and throws A-Town Ryan and reigning Second Rounds On Us Champion Tommy James into the deep end of Absurd Logic, where the rules are simple: take two completely unrelated TV shows and somehow make it make sense. We’re talking chaotic crossover pitches featuring worlds that were never meant to collide—like Always Sunny In Philadelphia, Westworld, Scrubs, and Breaking Bad. It’s comedy, drama, and straight-up nonsense fighting for credibility. Each competitor has to sell their mashup like it deserves a greenlight, breaking down character interactions, conflict, tone, and somehow balancing storytelling without completely losing the plot (they still might). It’s creative. It’s ridiculous. And somehow… it works. Because in this game, absurdity isn’t a weakness—it’s the whole point. Will Mr. A-Town walk away one step closer to challenging for the top spot or will Mr. Oh So Smooth prevent him from gaining one point!

Fresh off his totally deserved (he’ll tell you himself) championship win, Tommy James takes the host chair to run everyone’s favorite beautifully unhinged game: Absurd Logic. This round, Florida’s Favorite Creep Sabrina Ace squares up against Mista Malave in a battle of creativity, chaos, and questionable decision-making. The challenge? Take a completed sitcom, keep only two human characters, and replace the rest of the cast with Muppets. Yes… seriously. What follows is a mix of surprisingly thoughtful casting choices, arguments about “story integrity” that absolutely should not exist in this context, and pitches that somehow make less sense the more they’re explained. Because on this show, absurdity isn’t just allowed—it’s encouraged. And somehow… it still has to make sense. One of them walks away with the win. The other walks away wondering why they spent this much time defending a Muppet. Let’s see who gets one step closer to the chain.

In this episode of the 2026 Who You Got Challenge, the crew takes on The Smooth Bracket — a tournament packed with characters that range from unstoppable icons to picks that make you immediately question someone’s judgment. Joining Tommy James, Florida’s Favorite Creep Sabrina, and defending chaos enthusiast Mista Malave is special guest Bobby from The GNP Project, while Challenge Administrator A-Town Ryan keeps the madness from completely derailing the bracket. On paper, this thing looks simple: legendary characters enter, one walks out. In reality? It turns into a strategic circus. Megatron starts throwing metal around like he owns the arena.Michael B Jordan is giving all the love.Black Panther proves why strategy matters.And somewhere in the middle of all of it, a ninja turtle, a shadow-cloning assassin, and a demon-powered singer start causing problems no one planned for. Expect: questionable logic disguised as strategysabotage attempts that may or may not be personalarguments about powers that spiral way beyond reasonand at least one moment where everyone realizes they backed the wrong character The Smooth Bracket decides the final character for MegaCon this weekend. Lets see what happens.

The 2026 Who You Got Challenge for MegaCon Orlando continues on with The Creep Bracket—a lineup so chaotic it probably violates several laws of physics, logic, and basic common sense. Joining the madness are Florida’s Favorite Creep Sabrina, Mista Malave, Tommy James, Mike “Schmidthauser”, and our suffering Challenge Administrator Mr. A-Town Ryan, whose job is basically to keep this circus from completely burning down. This bracket throws together characters who probably should never share the same arena. We’re talking Ben 10’s Omnitrix, Sonic’s speed, Shrek’s questionable swamp strength, magic, alien tech, demons from hell, and at least one character who can literally inhale the universe like it’s a milkshake. Somewhere in the middle of this nonsense we try to answer extremely serious questions, like: Can Dr. Doom’s magic and technology actually handle a teenager with a watch full of alien war crimes?Does Sonic’s speed outrun ghosts… or just run directly into them?Could Beast Boy turn into something ridiculous enough to beat a literal demon idol?And is Kirby the most polite cosmic threat in existence? Along the way we break down absurd matchups, argue about power scaling like it actually matters, and remind everyone that in the Who You Got Challenge, knowledge is the difference between a genius pick and a pick that gets you laughed out of the bracket. If you enjoy ridiculous debates, chaotic nerd energy, and hypothetical fights that should never work but somehow do, welcome to the show. This is the Creep Bracket. Try to keep up.

The 2026 Who You Got Challenge truly begins with Malave’s side of the MegaCon bracket, and things get messy fast. Mista Malave, Florida’s Favorite Creep Sabrina, Tommy James, and Mr. A-Town Ryan step into the arena to break down a lineup of fictional fights that absolutely no one on the internet agrees about. Under the Fair Grounds rules, characters are capped, prep time exists, and “because they’re OP” isn’t an argument. Every matchup gets dissected the way it should be — strengths, weaknesses, strategy, and the occasional reality check when someone tries to sneak in a cosmic-level cheat code. This episode’s battles feature a stacked lineup including Hancock, Rick Sanchez, Scarlet Witch, Samus Aran, Magneto, Eleven, and more — forcing the panel to dig into powers, weaknesses, strategy, and the uncomfortable reality that some fan-favorite characters might not survive the bracket. Expect heated arguments, questionable logic, power-scaling debates, and at least one moment where someone realizes their favorite character might actually get wrecked. Votes are cast. The bracket moves forward. And someone’s pick probably just died in the first round.

The Who You Got Challenge is officially out of retirement — rebuilt from the ground up for 2026. Old brackets? Gone. Previous records? Cleared. Excuses? Deleted. This year starts with the MegaCon Draft. Reigning champion Mista Malave returns to defend his reputation. Tommy James is here to cause problems. And making her official challenge debut, Sabrina Ace steps into the game. Four categories:Movies. TV. Comics/Literature. Video Games.Origin rules apply. If they can’t be defeated, they don’t get drafted. No immortal hacks. No cosmic “well technically.” If they’re unbeatable, they’re unpickable. But the real headline? We’re introducing the Second Rounds On Us Champion Chain — because if someone’s going to rule pop culture for the year, they’re walking out with actual hardware. This isn’t just bragging rights anymore. This is legacy weight. Strategy gets exposed. Power levels get challenged. Nostalgia gets weaponized. And someone is absolutely going to make a pick they regret. New chain, New era, No safety net, The reset year begins now. Welcome back to the Who You Got Challenge.
