I’ve been listening fora few years and the banter between these two is always hilarious and genuine. That’s on top of the occasional guests they have on that make the show overall a must listen :)
Apple Podcasts5Afewtacos81United States6 months ago - Great but…
I really like both SNES Drunk & NESFriends YouTube channels and this podcast is decent but Alex reminds me of that kid in HS that was into all the music / movies that no one else liked because it was cool. It’s also kind of annoying how often he references sports players that no one remembers. Trav is hilarious though!
Apple Podcasts3Dark Knight (1978)United Statesa year ago A nice cozy podcast to listen to. Trav and Alex have a lot of fun and come off as very welcoming.
Cheers!

Frequently Asked Questions About DrunkFriend
What is DrunkFriend about and what kind of topics does it cover?
Two longtime friends run a laid-back, nostalgia-forward show focused on retro gaming, YouTube creator culture, and the indie creator ecosystem.
