SlurpToast

Podcasting While Rome Burns or Else the Terrorists Win

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.

Oh No, Anaphylaxis!

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

They Call It Porky Pigging

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.

Episode 10 - The Search for Sponsors

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.

He Brought a Shank to a Podcast

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!

Patrick Mahomes...Super Spreader

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!

Rock God of Vengeance

This week, despite some connectivity issues, the boys discuss the death of Gen X icon and rock legend, Eddie Van Halen.  They also spend some time discussing Marvel's Moon Knight, the viability of Keanu Reeves playing said character and who they would like to see cast in the upcoming Disney+ Moon Knight series.

Mouths Are Stupid

This week Bruce and Stephe talk about the Emmys, Thai prison movies, modern dentistry, drinking tequila and Wild Turkey (at different times) and how stupid teeth are.
It'll make sense.
We think.
