SlurpToast

Our little podcast hits 15 and celebrates it's audio Quincenera.
Sadly there were no nachos or tequila.
There was, however, Jefferson's Reserve bourbon.
There was also entertaining, free form discussion about a large variety of topics including:
Stephe making salesmen cry
The short squeeze
Cobra Kai
John Grisham
George RR Martin
The Big Game
Major League Baseball
The chances of SDCC 2021 actually taking place
WandaVision
Other possible Marvel properties that would be a good fit for Disney+
As you can see, it was all over the place.
It wasn't a trainwreck, but it was certainly disjoined.
Just the way we like it.

Episode 14 drops on the fourth anniversary of us deciding to do a podcast.
Today we discuss, among other things:
No tequila received from Teremana
The possible Batman:  The Animated Series reboot/sequel
Ethan Hawke's casting in Moon Knight
That somehow segues into a short discussion of Scott Steiner
Tonight's booze of choice, Desert Door Texas Sotol
Point Break
Then we get into tonight's main topic, NBC's Must See TV and the various awful shows they used to plug the holes between their home run hitters over the years.  We play name the star and/or plot of several shows and riff on several others.
Finally, we discuss why Generation X will likely never produce a president.
All brought to you by our new sponsor, Tequila Plancha.
Holla if you hear us!
Here is a link to the article we refer to in the Must See TV segment.
 

Baker's dozen episode tonight, recording while the fallout of Sedition Day plays out in real time.
On this episode we talked about:
The Mandolorian
Warrior
Kung Fu
Tanya Roberts
Our burgeoning fame in New Zealand
Stephe's use of his stroke as a cudgel
The episode was originally going to be our first Book Club, but we got a bit sidetracked.  We eventually brought the conversation back around to discuss Jack Kirby's Fourth World in general and Tom King's amazing Mister Miracle series in specific.  If you're a Kirby fan, you're gonna like our deep cuts.

The first annual SlurpToast Holiday Episode revolves, mostly, around baseball.
That makes sense, right?
We also talk about:
Failing at Candy Captcha
Walter Simonson's take of Orion
The state of our beards
Spank Frank
Orson Randall aka Iron Fist
There is, however, no Moon Knight chat this time out.  That will return in 2021.
Here are the baseball books mentioned in the podcast
Moneyball
The Extra 2%
Feeding the Monster
Astroball

This one took an early turn when Bruce, while drinking a Coors Banquet, suggested they cast a remake of Smokey and the Bandit.  So they did...and it was glorious.
Other topics discussed:
Moon Knight
Work Issues
Home Repair
Kid Rock (too many times it seems)
Giant Shuttlecocks
All that and more on Episode 11.

The podcast hits double digits with it's very first holiday episode.  Of course, this being SlurpToast, we completely forget to discuss Thanksgiving.
We open the show with a shout out to the recently shuttered GonzoGeek.com.  We had a good run and we talk about some of our favorite moments as part of the staff.
Instead, we talk about:
Teremana Tequila
Covid-19
Moon Knight (of course)
Freight Train Rabbit Killer
Visigoth
Bruce issues an apology to Ace Atkins followed by a long glowing review of his Quinn Colson series.
Happy Thanksgiving and remember, turkeys can't fly.

Now that Stephe is back from vacation and the election is over, the boys return to the mic with another installment of Moon Knight Chat as well as the promised discussion of the two Jacks:  Repairman and Kirby.  Things take a weird turn when Stephe brings up KCMO politician Steve West and his contention that there is a direct correlation between porn and cannibalistic murder leading to the creation of the Porn-Gacy scale.  Enjoy!

Bruce and Stephe are back with a conversation that starts off with a discussion of a Covid outbreak at Stephe's office and then turns to:
The joys of home ownership
James Lee Burke's new book "A Private Cathedral"
The laconic joy of the true South Louisiana accident.
They also tease next week's episode.  Check it out!
