    I know it is a Brad Shoemaker feature on the website, but going off of the latest tweets from @danryckert:

    Seems like he really wants to beat Tyson! Would love for a premium feature stream where he attempts to do it! I think Alex gave it a go

    Dan has his own features, he doesn't need to take over Brad's.

    But I'm fine with him doing whatever he wants even if it's basically the same thing as Brad.

    That being said I'd actually love another Breaking Brad. Get on it Brad!

    He already did that at GameInformer though. He failed. Dan is a failure. He should give it up forever. He will never beat Tyson.

    I think it would be great, I don't care what the game is but Dan seems to have a history with Tyson and I would love to hear the other guys giving him shit.

    Come one guys, this was explained. Soda Popinski's is a bar in San Francisco with an NES and collection and will give a bottle of champagne to whoever beats Tyson. Dan brought it up in one of his early Bombcasts. Though hearing the horrors he's inflicted upon innocent whiskey I'm terrified by what Dan Ryckert would do with a bottle of champagne.

    I used to like Soda Popinski's too. Stupid Dan.

    I don't think people are confused about this challenge at Soda Popinski's, the discussion is whether or not it would be a good feature for the site.

    Only if he streams and wear his Apollo Creed outfit, it's the only way to make it official:

    I would be all for this. He already tried in a video series on Game Informer, he can continue here!

    He could call the segment "Breaking Brad", since they're the same person.

    I don't remember, did Alex beat Tyson? If not, I want a race to see who can beat Tyson first, Dan or Alex. And they can't use the code to get to Tyson. They need to fight everyone before him.

    The amount of stress it causes him I'm not sure how enjoyable it would be to watch him play. But I wouldn't be adverse to a Breaking Dan type stream, or really just more Breaking Brad whenever that comes along.

    I believe a proper name for it would likely be Wrecking Ryckert. (If he wins, he can be called Wreck-it Ryckert. ...I'll see myself out)

    Something like this would be fun for an Extra Life stream or something. Spice things up.

    No, no, no. This isn't about some champagne. The Tyson fight is a personal demon for Dan. Prior to these Stress Test videos Dan probably felt taunted upon hearing how many people in the Game Informer offices had beaten Tyson. I think that Dan also tried and failed to beat Tyson during a Game Informer Extra Life marathon while his boss, Andy McNamara, sat beside him and quipped about Dan's lack of skill.

    It should be called "I'm calling you out Canseco!" It should be Dan, tweeting a challenge to Canseco, calling him an idiot and all that jazz, then Dan succeeding in said challenge. Doesn't matter if he actually takes part or responds because then it shows how much of an idiot he is.

    No, this is Brad's thing. Brad really does need to try to finish Sonic 06... I feel like it's the only game that will break him. He seems to overcome all the challenges thrown at him.

    I'd love a feature where Dan continues to step outside his comfort zone. Doesn't necessarily have to be video games.

    I think you should combine Brad and Dan. Have them make a friendly wager (loser shaves the beard or dyes it or something fun and stupid like that). Then have them play punchout 1 hour at a time each. Spelling Bee type rules, they trade off hours of gameplay until one beats tyson, then the other must beat tyson in the next episode and so on.

    Maybe just like an UPF thing?
