1. Dads After Dark Show #194 centers on a snowy January 7, 2024 episode about the hosts' holiday break and what they are excited about for 2024. 2. Drew and John host the show, with John speaking through COVID and Drew steering the game discussion as the main co-host. 3. The episode asks what season five means, what Chubby's Bracket is doing next, and which games and movies are worth attention in 2024. 4. John says he has COVID, has been isolating in the toy room, and has watched every televised NBA, NFL, and NHL game he could find. 5. He describes waiting on football, marathoning TV, and wanting to be unisolated after several days in one room. 6. Drew mentions Wheel of Time season two, Monarch, and Godzilla Minus One, while John says his son called Godzilla Minus One 'the best movie I've ever seen.' 7. John explains that Monarch focuses more on the company than Godzilla, and he calls it a good treadmill show. 8. The conversation shifts to chess when John says he reached 1,800 on Lichess after studying openings and defenses on his wife's iPad Pro. 9. John says the final game that got him over 1,800 may have been his best mate ever, built around a queen-and-rook sequence. 10. He sets a new resolution to reach 1,900 on Lichess and talks about eventually returning to tournament chess with his son Sebastian. 11. John compares Searching for Bobby Fisher to 'chess porn' and says he would love the family-tournament experience shown in that movie. 12. The Broncos segment adds local stakes when John says Denver has not had a winning record since 2016 and wants to beat the Raiders. 13. He says he is making ribs, buying wings, and serving fresh macaroni salad for friends coming over to watch the game. 14. Drew reports that Goomba had four teeth removed, including two molars and two front teeth, and says the cat looks even more like a Goomba now. 15. The Manscaped ad features the Lawn Mower 5.0 Ultra, the NINDADS code, 20% off, and free shipping. 16. Drew jokes about deodorant, and John asks why his armpits smell like his balls after using Manscaped products. 17. The game discussion starts with Jackbox Party Pack 7, which Drew says is the first pack where he enjoyed every game in one family session. 18. The hosts describe Blather Round, Talking Points, Champed Up, and Devils and the Details, with Drew saying Talking Points was a total nonsense game that still worked well at his house. 19. The episode sounds like a loose, conversational, family-friendly panel with occasional crude jokes, game recommendations, and a long back-and-forth about what each title actually does. 20. Listeners who like Nintendo-adjacent game talk, family party games, and personal updates will get the most out of it, while people wanting a tight news rundown may skip it.
