Aloha from Hawaii Nintendo drive crew! Been on the ride since Feb 2025 of the Playstation Drive. When it came to then end, found the RPG Cave, then found you folks. Glad I did! Love the insight you folks share and the dynamic of the different host. Grateful to have you guys on the drive to work after I drop off my little. Have at it!

This is my favorite Nintendo show. Although this may be Lockleth’s final episode. You will still be remembered as a big part of The Nintendo Drive and Carpool Gaming, Bringing crazy and funny moments. I started really listening to The Nintendo Drive at the beginning of 2025 and this is my favorite show out of the 2 Carpool Gaming shows I listen to (The Nintendo Drive and the GOOYs). Shout out to episode 244 of the Nintendo Drive. Happy Carpool Gaming Graduation to Lockleth.

I’ve been listening for a long time, and I love the balance between all of the host of the Nintendo Driv... more
