D.B. & Ted | August 2, 2026 – The Summer of STDs

This week, D.B. and Ted take a trip down memory lane as they revisit D.B.'s lifelong dream of owning his own arcade and discuss what happens when you finally accomplish a childhood goal. This week, they discuss: D.B.'s obsession with Arcade1Up machines and the time he literally had an arcade in his home. The pizza delivery guy who asked if he could come inside and play Mortal Kombat. Why accomplishing your dream sometimes means realizing you're ready to move on to the next one. Ted's collection of abandoned hobbies and the concept of "proof of concept." The legendary "orchestra of chaos" that only arcade lovers can truly appreciate. Whether Sherry would have married D.B. if she had walked into an apartment filled with arcade machines. Aruba, honeymoon plans, and Ted's infamous vacation FaceTime calls. And how an innocent conversation somehow led to the creation of "The Summer of STDs." From arcade cabinets and WWF championship belts to pizza guys, nostalgia, and ADHD, this episode is a reminder that growing older doesn't mean letting go of your childhood—it just means finding new ways to appreciate it. So grab your favorite drink, pull up a chair, and spend some time with D.B. and Ted as they laugh their way through old memories and prove that some friendships are built one deep cut at a time. "I gave a lot of people STDs this summer." New episodes of D.B. & Ted are released every Sunday. Listen to every episode of The D.B. Nyce Podcast, D.B. & Sherry, and D.B. & Ted at dbnycepodcast.com.
