Fire Escape Cast

437

Dan Ryckert, Mary Kish, and Mike Mahardy can’t shut down bars while talking about video games like they used to, so they created Fire Escape to keep those chats going from across the country. Support them at fireescapecast.com

    Hilarious but also annoying
    Sometimes a funny show. Dan needs to take his Invisalign out when he records. You can manage not having them in for two to three hours…
  • Secret P
    Used to look forward to this.
    What happened? What used to be interesting conversation punctuated by brief moments of nonsense has flipped entirely. The June episode was unlistenable.
  • Gienko_
    Used to be great
    Dan the sound board is too much, the show is unlistenable when it just Mary yelling over the Mary sound board.

    Three to the D
    Listening to three d-bags try and rate the biggest d-bag was the final straw. Im out

    Alcoholics w bad takes
    Shills that drink too much and gush about being drunks for way too long before talking about video games. Don’t recommend

    Not a joke
    This show would be a million times better if they replaced Mike. He’s awkward and the worst kind of pretentious. I’ve listened to every episode (except for the ones without Dan and Mary) and I have to skip past any Mike-heavy segment.

    Coming from a Last Stand Media Fan
    Love the podcast, you folks are so funny together and can tell you all truly click as good friends do. Keep up the excellent work I’ll be here to listen every other week…for shoot. Congratulations Mike on getting married!
  • JJWeatherman
    Best video game podcast?!
    Or maybe just best podcast full stop. Mike, Mary and Dan can talk about anything and I’ll be there to listen.

    Ep 65
    Wow they killed Bob Barker RIP
  • JTWNSC
    Hilarious gaming podcast
    Hilarious podcast that is just three friends catching up on video games and other subjects they love. While the length of the episodes are a bit daunting, the fact it only comes out every two weeks balances it out. Great listen all around.
  • cdeg
    Genuine friends let you tag along for their gaming and other things talk
    Love their conversations and jokes as they discuss how they are enjoying current new releases and games of the past. Recommend to all game fans.

    It’s
    Body time.
  • rural_juror
    Mike, Mary, and Jake are awesome!
    Specifically Mike, Mary, and Jake (on the few occassions where he’s allowed to speak)
  • nate ahoy
    Love the show but….
    For the love of God please don’t talk about what’s a “sport” anymore.
  • Joe La Zanya
    Little baby
    Dan Reich-fart coming back to video games reporting ruined all my podcasts and games journalism as a whole. Plus this podcast consistently replays 10+ minutes of the same audio, well blended in the next segment. Pay a producer instead of getting your friend to do it.

    Wicked Sick.
    It happens to be wicked sick. Check it out.

  • kylekyle99
    Great show but
    Great show but you all curse way to much for 5 stars
  • blechout
    Best podcast ever
    Sometimes they talk about video games
  • Jake also
    Need to work on the editing
    Love listening to these 3 after following them through their time in this industry, but man the editing could really use some work. The game of the year podcast has whole sections of the beginning or end of some categories doubled up or cut out completely.
  • Hannybobanny
    The right kind of unstructured
    The only podcast where I’m excited to see a notification that a new episode is out.
  • Bockbrarian
    Pure Video Game Content
    It’s really weird to hear the Cosby worship that comes from Mike, but I guess the death threats are just him emulating his hero. We’ll see if Dan and Mary can finally put this padawan on the right path. Come for the nonsense and suffer the video games! A++++
  • tonsOplum
    Amazing show
    I come here for all the Richard Nixon love and boing noises
  • MakinThroatsGag
    Mike's Voices
    I like em'. Seriously though, this is the best podcast I have found. Been listening since they started and it is always entertaining and funny to listen to them all talk. This is also the only podcast that I keep track of the dates for new episodes. I wish Mike liked charity more though.
  • adam tarbox
    Average to bad ramblecast
    2 people talk about video games sometimes. The 3rd guy acts intentionally obtuse and half the cast is the other 2 explaining something (usually incorrectly) to the guy. gets old fast.
  • LChristensen
    Fuse this review
    I would have given this 4.5 but I don’t believe in half points. Come join Merry, Dan and Martin I think? I love getting a podcast I know its going to take me multiple days tonget through. They talk about video games sure but its the absolute nonsense that makes this podcast amazing.
  • Shwayzeboo
    Great Podcast to have in the background
    Look I’ve been following these 3 for a few years but their chemistry is fantastic. Just 3 friends riffing off each other. That and they talk about games in a fun conversational manner. Very free form. Highly recommend.
  • Greener41
    Dan is insufferable
    Call me when Mike and Mary have their own show.
  • Hadji402
    Mary, Mike, and Dan are great!
    Highly recommended listen for video game fans. Comes out every other week, hosts have great chemistry, and they’re all knowledgeable. Mike and Dan may be completely insane, not sure about Mary yet. Seems weird that Mike always passes over Mary for the first question every week, but I’m not a podcast professional, so I can’t judge. It just comes off as an incredibly funny joke to me. Maybe I’m hearing it wrong. Love these folks! ❤️❤️❤️

    Dan’s the Worst
    Been listening to Dan since he joined GB in 2014 but they way he celebrated that spelling bee at the end of last episode was a special kind of childish behavior. B
  • disappointedasiankid
    This podcast is highly offensive.
    I will be calling the millennial police.
  • seakae
    8 out of 10 on the FEUS
    It’d get a 10 out of 10 if every episode didn’t start with an hours worth of deep dive examinations and retellings of EVERY SINGLE JOKE from movies and shows they’ve seen in the past two weeks. Anyway, love you guys like salamanders love Dan’s plumbing.

    Wildly Entertaining
    This podcast is great! Extremely funny, I have honestly cried laughing at times. You guys are the best!
  • Mightbewrong33
    My favorite video game podcast
    Great combination of humor and video game coverage. Awesome chemistry between the three hosts.

    Homerpalooza!
    I am a absolute fan of loosely structured podcasts if the vibe is right. Mike, Dan and Mary just sound like friends having fun, which isn’t a surprise because they all have past work that reflects it. From golden era Simpsons talk to video games, they just kind of go with the flow. I see some complaints about the ads but they don’t bother me at all, especially seeing as though it’s a 4 hour show or just go patreon. One of my favorite new listens for sure!
  • epikdik
    Change what isn’t broken, why?
    There used to be one ad (for anchor no less), suddenly they went the patreon route and add a ton of ads just to make the lowest (5 dollar!) level more appealing. That’s just not right no matter how you look at it. Change it to 1 dollar add free and I will change my rating back to 5 stars, because honestly up until this latest episode this was BY FAR THE BEST PODCAST I have ever listened to. Shame really.
  • GuyKas113
    Lots of ads
    Among the most ads I’ve heard on a podcast, but that’s sorta whatever you can always skip them. Mike is good a lot of the time but he does these voices that make me turn off and delete the episode of podcast sometimes. I’m sure someone likes them just not my vibe. Mary and Dan are good.

    Rectum talk interrupted by three ads for a Beatles tribute show in Cleveland
    Yes there was recently rectum talk on that pod that was abruptly interrupted by three ads for a Beatles tribute show in Cleveland after which the butt talk resumed. FIVE STAR PODCAST.
  • DinkMeeker
    These nerds
    These nerds are dumb it’s cool. I love Dan. Mike is annoying and makes me cringe occasionally but he’s alright and seems like he would be nice in person, but cringe tho, but nice ? I think he thinks his jokes bite more than they do but that’s okay. Mary is legitimately funny.
  • WrecklessInSeattle
    Do you like long podcasts?
    This is quickly becoming one of my favorite podcasts. The way they can vibe off of each other for 3+ hours and still be funny is great. Love the visits from Dans dad.
  • Wonko-The-Sane
    Love the long episodes!
    Dont ever change it!
  • Maverickly
    YES
    Welcome back to podcasts :) Dan, Mitch (sic) and Merry are great and I’m delighted to have them as part of my commute. Also the first podcast I’ve ever subscribed to on Apple Podcasts so that’s notable. Be well!
  • zzfromspace
    Wish it was weekly
    Mike and Dan are two of the weirdest people on earth, and Mary is extremely funny. The three of em make for a great podcast that I wish updated more often. I can’t get enough of it!
  • Bobby Mn
    Great Podcast
    Remember Dan from the GI days. Found out about the podcast when you were on MinnMax. Overall great Podcast!
  • ETM84
    Awesome podcast!
    Love Merry and Mike and Dan is okay … I guess. Absolutely love the podcast though, thanks for the laughs!
  • JAWright78
    Genuine and refreshing
    I have enjoyed all of the hosts separately over the years. Now together they have become a wonderful trio of delight that makes me smile from beginning to end. Thank you!
  • boysef
    Upstaaaate!!!
