2026 World Cup Golden Boot Rankings, Top 5 Summer Activities & M3P Time Capsule
Gregg is back on the front porch, and this episode marks the beginning of a brand-new tradition on the M3P Podcast.
From World Cup excitement and summer nostalgia to physical media collecting and Dungeon Crawler Carl, this episode is packed with the conversations that make M3P feel like sitting outside with friends on a warm summer evening.
If this is your first time joining us, welcome to your third place.
🕰️ M3P Time Capsule (Debut)
This week we officially crack open the very first M3P Time Capsule.
Every month we'll revisit a different year, celebrating the movies, music, TV shows, toys, video games, technology, sports moments, and pop culture that defined our lives growing up.
For our first capsule, we reflect on:
🎬 Blockbuster movies we couldn't stop quoting
💿 CDs and albums that lived inside our stereos
📺 TV shows that made us rush home after school
🎮 Video games that shaped our childhoods
📼 VHS tapes, DVDs, and collectibles we still remember
📟 Gadgets and technology that felt futuristic at the time
It's a brand-new segment dedicated to preserving the nostalgia that built our generation.
📚 Dungeon Crawler Carl Reading Club
Gregg has officially entered the dungeon.
After hearing us talk about Dungeon Crawler Carl for months, he's finally started the journey, and we compare first impressions, favorite moments, memorable characters, and the scenes that immediately hooked him into the series.
We also discuss why the books have become part of his daily routine and why so many readers continue recommending the series to friends.
🎲 Pod Decks & Community Check-In
The front porch wouldn't be complete without hearing from the community.
☀️ What are your Top 5 favorite summer activities?
🍔 What are you bringing to the neighborhood BBQ?
From backyard cookouts and fireworks to swimming pools, baseball games, bike rides, and long summer evenings, we share our own memories while reading some of your responses.
What begins as a quick discussion quickly turns into one of our biggest conversations of the night.
We revisit the growing debate over physical media and ask:
💿 Why does owning movies, games, and music still matter?
📀 What happens when digital purchases disappear?
🎮 Is collecting becoming more important than ever?
📚 How do we preserve the media we love for future generations?
As longtime collectors, it's a topic we could probably spend hours talking about—and we almost do.
