It's March Madness, at least until we find another title for the episode.
Don't expect a whole lot of basketball talk, or any really.
Instead, strap in and get ready for more than an hour of the freewheeling geekery that has become the trademark of this podcast.
We talk about:
- Spring Break
- Stephe's niece's wedding
- Evening Shade
- The very odd resurgence of the Kroftt-verse
- Holmes & Yoyo
- Karen Valentine
- The afterschool special entitled Birth
- Blackbelt Jones
- Antonio Banderas as Silver Surfer
- Stephe's first trip to Bucee's
- The new Copa de la Diversion team in MiLB
- King Kong's new Infinity Gauntlet
- The Beekeeper
- Accounting and its software (riveting)
- The territory days of professional wrestling
- "Exotic" Adrian Street
And, of course, we played "What's on Your Desk?"
Enjoy.

Heard you missed us! We're back!
This isn't always as easy as it looks. Your hosts, despite their best intentions, fell behind on getting this episode to you.
Why?
We both got sick, but, oh no, not at the same time. We staggered it rendering us both useless for extended periods of time.
We're sorry for the delay, but we both think tonight's episode will make up for our absence.
Why?
Take a look at this list of topics:
- Health updates
- Traffic complaints
- More on the joys of home ownership
- A quick shout out to the late Norman Lear
- Southern Bastards
- Bedazzling and other horrible 80s fashion choices
- SNL
- Stephe's adventures in Tai Chi
- Real Genius
- Doctor Who
- Listen to the live creation of Mayberry RIP
- The Legend of Paul Bunyan - LumberMech
Look, we're really proud of those last two. We really think you'll like them.
Give it a listen as you head to grandma's house.

Buckle up, kids. Tonight you an episode with an actual theme.
That's right, after the boys talk about some of their usual nonsense, they go full Mr. Blackwell on MLB and break down the league's City Connect uniforms.
Who has what it takes?
Who misses the mark?
Who looks like they showed up late for a beer league?
Take a listen and find out.

Bruce relocated and the tech issues seem to be resolved. However, that didn't stop the show from going off the rails in its own glorious ways.
How?
Look at this topic list and decide for yourself.
- Stephe's upcoming time off and why he chose Minnesota
- DJ Drywall (there is a story)
- Adventures in roofing
- Swag and how to prepare it
- Fun with logos
- How much does an archipelago cost?
- Scooby Doo and the Spooky Kabuki

- Hanna Barbera was very concerned about crime
- Stephe's Malaysian memories
- We WAY overthink Lidsville
- Taylor Swift
- Loki
- Warrior
- Bailey's Comets
- The Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan
So, we spent a LOT of time talking forgotten cartoons of our youth. We even touched on The Funky Phantom.
Dig in kids.
