#233: A Conversation with Neil Ross (Voice of Colonel Volgin)

Metal Gear Mondays @metalgearmondays.bsky.social · 2d

This week, we interviewed the wonderful Neil Ross. He's been in so many iconic franchises, but for our purposes, he is the voice of #ColonelVolgin in #MetalGearSolidDelta. He's had a wild life and we get into as much of it as we can. Kuwabara, kuwabara.

Historically speaking, we talk a lot about Dustin on this show...Dustin DIAMOND that is. I'm sure everything with him is going great. It's ALL connected on episode #230!

MGM turns TEN this week and we’re doing an episode to celebrate! We want to hear your memories and favorite moments, so email us at [email protected] (timestamps encouraged if you want us to play a clip) by 5PM EST on 9/21! Can’t wait to celebrate this insane milestone with you all! xoxo

A promo image for the podcast “Metal Gear Mondays.” In the center of the image is a white gear shape. Inside the gear is a stock photo of some birthday elements: pastel colored pennants, confetti, balloons and a white birthday cake obscured by the text. The text is red block font that says “Metal Gear Mondays Forever” reminiscent of the cover for PlayStation 1’s Metal Gear Solid.
Behind the gear is a collage of characters from various Metal Gear and Hideo Kojima games across history. They are named below going top to bottom from left to right (as best as possible):
Naked Snake from Metal Gear Solid Delta, Solid Snake from MGS1, Meryl from MGS4, Raiden from Revengeance, Sam from Death Stranding 1, The Boss from MGS3, Liquid Snake from MGS1, Kaz and Quiet confronting each other from MGSV, Raiden from MGS2, Liquid Ocelot from MGS4, Otacon from MGS4, Solidus Snake from MGS2, Paz from Peace Walker, Venom Snake from MGSV, Old Snake from MGS4, Tomorrow from Death Stranding 2, Sam kissing baby Lou’s forehead from Death Stranding 2. In the gap between Lou and Sam is Dollman looking weird and bad and creepy (also from Death Stranding 2).
In the very top right corner of the image is a drawing done by show listener Liquid Metal Mike of the infamous Matt Campbell, a sad looking middle aged man with crazy red hair. If you don’t know who Matt Campbell is…well…better listen to the podcast, eh?

#230: Metal Gear Solid Delta - Not the Bees!

Metal Gear Mondays @metalgearmondays.bsky.social · 25d

In episode #230 of our #MetalGearSolidDelta coverage, we fight two men: one who thinks he is a cat and one who is literally a vast conglomeration of bees. And they don’t even crack the top 10 weirdest things #SnakeEater has to offer. Woof.

We’re diving fully into #MetalGearSolidDelta this week as we tackle the Virtuous Mission! And just so we don’t create a time paradox, we’re joined by the wonderful @kaye.zone from @duckfeedtv.bsky.social much like she joined us ten years ago. How cool is that?

Metal Gear Mondays @metalgearmondays.bsky.social · Aug 28

It's been nearly a decade since the release of the last mainline #MetalGearSolid, so it's time for a new (?) one. In a special bonus, the crew gathers together on release day to talk about their first impressions of #MetalGearSolidDelta. Are we STILL in a dream? It's only #SnakeEater!

Metal Gear Mondays @metalgearmondays.bsky.social · Aug 20

We have finally come to the end of the road on #DeathStranding2! We get emotional about games (and life!) as we send #DS2 up to the rafters. Is that where it belongs? Well, you'll have to tune in to episode #227 find out!

The award for Hater of the Year goes to Higgs Monaghan! How many names can we call Sam? Well…it’s not a low number to be sure. Enjoy this BONUS clip from #226!

We don’t quite remember how we got on the subject of FAT BASEBALL BOOTY on episode #226, but it’s clearly a topic that impacts @lillianadawn.bsky.social deeply.

#226: Death Stranding 2 - Episodes 14 & 15

Metal Gear Mondays @metalgearmondays.bsky.social · Aug 12

We haven't quite come to the end of the road, but we're getting really close. What kind of chaos does Kojima come up with for us in #226? It turns out all of it!

Just about 2 days to send in your thoughts for #DeathStranding2! Check the bio for our email!

Everyone on the DHV Magellan needs to help out…even Dollman. And boy is he thirsty to be of complete service. He needs to do it! It’s not his fault! It’s how he interprets the visions!

#225: Death Stranding 2 - Episodes 11, 12, and 13

Metal Gear Mondays @metalgearmondays.bsky.social · Aug 6

We may be late, but we're still working! We’ve got anti-gravity! We’ve got the best dang ol’ mannequin dance party you’ve ever seen…and we’ve got our fingers on that censor, don’t you worry! It’s the most beleaguered episode #225 we could muster!

A “clip show” for the ages from #224. Ill fated puppet therapy, horse emojis, mysterious snow, and…flesh? What more could you possibly ask for?

#224: Death Stranding 2 - Episodes 9 & 10

Metal Gear Mondays @metalgearmondays.bsky.social · Jul 30

Our journey across Australia continues and so too does the weirdness. Avalanches, crying in the shower, puppet themed filicide, and so much more await you in episode #224 of Metal Gear Mondays!

#223: Death Stranding 2 Pt. 4

Metal Gear Mondays @metalgearmondays.bsky.social · Jul 25

What does whatever’s going on in this clip from episode #223 have to do with #DeathStranding2? Well we don’t actually know, but Mickey Mouse is sure enjoying himself ;)

It's part 4 of our coverage of #DeathStranding2.

You know what else comes in fours? No, not the Fantastic Four.

If you said Ghostbusters, you'd be right! This week we're catching BTs like it's 2016 and we're wandering around playing Pokemon Go on a well worn iPhone 5.

Metal Gear Mondays @metalgearmondays.bsky.social · Jul 17

The crew is tasked with giving themselves Kojima-fied #DeathStranding names in episode #222 and we don’t think @lillianadawn.bsky.social'‪s is gonna fly. Well at least she can get away with it. Kojima? Not so much.

#222: Death Stranding 2 Pt. 3

Metal Gear Mondays @metalgearmondays.bsky.social · Jul 15

Is the shine of #DeathStranding2 wearing off? Well maybe a little, but we’re still having a good time. It also helps that these chapters feature some really dope stuff! Enjoy episode #222!

#221: Death Stranding 2 Pt. 2

Metal Gear Mondays @metalgearmondays.bsky.social · Jul 10

You think you know somebody. Maybe @daratking.bsky.social shouldn't be allowed near vehicles...or wombats. Watch this clip from #221 in horror! @alessiomadethat.bsky.social and @lillianadawn.bsky.social might need therapy after this one…

It’s time we meet some new friends, some old foes, and the beautiful (Watcher infested) land of #Australia. We’re covering Episodes 3 and 4 of #DeathStranding2 on #221 and we certainly laugh far harder than any of us anticipated for numerous reasons.

#deathstranding #DS2 #hideokojima

Metal Gear Mondays @metalgearmondays.bsky.social · Jul 7

Even the pilot of the #DHVMagellan gets a little clumsy sometimes. #MartyRhone, the voice of #Tarman in #DS2 tells us all about his rigging snafus in this clip from episode #220.
