State of Play Rumors, Intergalactic Hate, and a Boring Super Bowl | Taps & Takes

Season 2, Episode 6 is a Taps & Takes spin-off episode of The Do-Over Podcast, recorded at Grogg’s Traditional Irish Pub with Drew Hyatt and Edward Raus. It’s a split show by design: they start in nerd mode with what they’ve been watching and what’s coming next, then pivot hard into sports once the break hits.If you’re new here: The Do-Over Podcast is the main feed and Taps & Takes is the spin-off format. Same hosts, same hang, just a tighter split between pop culture and the sports board. This episode runs through recent watches and fandom chatter first, then closes with the big game recap, Olympics talk, and Daytona momentum.They open with Send Help and the Sam Raimi angle, then bounce through TV reactions (including why one show stuck the landing after a slow start). The middle of the episode is dominated by PlayStation State of Play rumor talk and what they actually want from 2026 releases. After the break, they hit the Super Bowl (why it felt conservative and why the kicker deserved the MVP), then finish with Winter Olympics takes and a Daytona 500 preview with early betting lean.00:00:11 – Intro: nerd news and sports news setup00:03:21 – Send Help quick review and Sam Raimi talk00:08:50 – Wonder Man redemption (slow start, strong finish)00:11:06 – Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: “peak” reaction00:15:08 – God of War live-action Atreus casting + Monarch S200:17:53 – Iron Lung box office and indie movie reality check00:21:29 – Super Bowl trailers, Disney/Marvel/Star Wars frustration00:31:07 – PlayStation State of Play rumors and 2026 game chatter00:37:05 – Hype or Blight: rapid-fire 2026 games00:39:34 – Break, then sports intro00:41:29 – Super Bowl recap: conservative game plan, MVP gripe00:50:05 – Winter Olympics: why winter clears summer00:56:38 – Daytona 500 preview and early betting angle00:59:16 – Outro and plugs #TheDoOverPodcast#TapsAndTakes#DoOverPodcast#Podcast#PopCulturePodcast#NerdNews#VideoGameNews#PlayStation#StateOfPlay#GameOfThrones#SuperBowl#WinterOlympics#NASCAR#Daytona500#SportsPodcast
