It's an Unbroken Stallion

Originally recorded 6/5/24

After an unfortunate hiatus, the boys are back with another podcast.  While not as cohesive as episode 74, this one has variety and, as we all know, that is the spice of life.

So what flavors can you expect?

How about:

• Subarus (we own many of them)
• The absolution bullshit that is car sales
• The absolute bullshit that is salesmen
• Which leads to Mergers & Acquisitions
• The tale of Stephe's sister slamming Charles Barkley
• An update on Bruce's mom's health
• Old Men and their maladies
• The pure awesomeness that is Joey Breaux
• X-Men 97
• Funko Fundays
• What's on Your Desk?

The show was cut a bit short as Bruce had to jet to check on his mother who was being admitted to the hospital.

Enjoy.

And That's How You Get the Beaver

It's March Madness, at least until we find another title for the episode.

And, of course, we played "What's on Your Desk?"

Enjoy.

The Legend of Paul Bunyan - LumberMech

Originally recorded 12/10/23

 

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.

 

Welcome to the Merkin Bowl

Originally recorded 11/5/23

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.
