Button Boys

Welcome back to another episode of Button Boys, voted UK's most likely podcast to be misheard as Mutton Toys. This week the Boys cast their minds back to the sweltering summer months and the second ever episode, where they revealed the most shameful gaps in their gaming history. What progress have they made and what are they going to attempt this year? Press play to find out.

As per, the Boys discuss the games they've been playing this week. Pierre finds himself on a low-res battlefield, Sarah gains a new appreciation for an old friend and Glenn becomes the 'Toilet Trump' of Blomkest.

Welcome back and Happy New Year to all the Buttons out there. The Boys are back with a vengeance after their Christmas break. And what better way to kick things off than by looking back at how their Metacritic predictions went last year and looking ahead to pick their three most anticipated games (and backup) of 2026. From massive movie franchise tie-ins to indie arm-based adventures, we've got you covered.

But before that, of course, we start with what the Boys have been playing over the festive season. Sarah eats humble bum with an apology, Pierre attempts to teach his nephews automotive physics and Glenn self-inflicts stress during the most relaxed time of the year.

As we're away this week we'd thought we'd put out a normally Patreon-exclusive episode of Hidden Cache. We'll be back next week with brand-new, box-fresh content.

After the excessive blowout of the main awards show, it’s time for the Boys to kick back and relax in a Patreon-exclusive VIP area of the Hidden Cache nightclub.

If you thought the awards were done, think again, as Pierre, Sarah and Glenn keep dishing them out left, right and centre. Sarah reveals their true feelings about Split Fiction, Glenn fesses up to his addiction and Pierre tries to get to the bottom of Glenn’s RNG aflussy.

And that’s not it: the results are in from our Stud Farm substitute playthrough poll, so make sure to tune in to find out which game the Boys will be taking on next!y

Remember, the conversation continues over on our Discord! You can find the video of each week's main podcast on ⁠YouTube⁠.

Follow along with the Button Boys on ⁠Instagram⁠ or ⁠TikTok⁠ for highlights, behind-the-scenes and future podcast announcements.
