Giving you more in 2024.  That's just a working motto, but we'll start with that.
Our first podcast of the new year brings with it a plethora of topics and Bruce broadcasting from a new location.
Here are some of the topics we covered:
The new year
Our holidays
College housing
Signs of chivalry
Godzilla
The Iron Claw
The Bear
They Live
Recasting John Nada for the modern day
Katt Williams
Design by committee
How large a role Roddy McDowell played in our childhoods
Minimalist logo redesign
All that and we ended things with a solid "What's on Your Desk."
Stick around to the end to hear our new outro music.
Dig it!

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
Jabberjaw
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.

This episode was plagued by technical difficulties that necessitated Stephe flying solo for a bit and Bruce making an emergency relocation mid-show.
It was bumpy, but topics were discussed.
What were they?
How about:
workplace training
OSHA-mosis - our new consulting business
The Big Lebwoski
Bruce brings up his movie list of shame
The Last Starfighter
SDCC
Only Murders in the Building

After a month long break (sorry) that saw kids moved to college and Stephe admitted to the hospital (we cover it), the boys are back and have lots to catch up on.
What you may ask?
How about:
Candlebox
College Move In
The status of Stephe's basement
Hospitalization from dehumidification
The return of Old Men and Their Ailments
Stephe's adventures at the theater
Lauren Bobert's adventures at the theater

Enjoy and we'll see you in two weeks.
We promise.

The boys are back for the first time since their annual geek pilgramage to San Diego for Comic-Con.
There's conversation about SDCC as well as:
Stephe's recent sump pump issues and their effects on his home
Paul's letters to the Corinthians regarding their fine leather
The stand-up comedy coaching tree
Cheech and Chong
Monkey Jumpers (just listen)
Bruce's impressions of his first Funko Fundays
The liberation that comes from leaving completism behind
There's more, but really, listen for the Monkey Jumpers.  You'll be glad you did.

The boys are in full SDCC anticipation mode.  That, however, doesn't mean tonight's episode isn't a good one.
Stephe had been presented with the argument that Steve Martin was a "transformative comedian."  Well, you can be sure we've got some opinions on comedy and comedians.  It's a lively discussion about who we consider transformation comedians.  We talk about comics we've enjoyed over the years and their place in the annals of comedy (ie Sam Kinison).  We do our best to do bits justice.  It's a lively discussion about a subject close to both hosts' hearts.
We also get into things like;
Ryan Gosling as Mr. Fantastic
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
The lessons of Twitter
Tesla
The danger of Elvis impersonators
SDCC wish lists
"What's on Your Desk?" follows up on last episode's discussion of the need for Jack Kirby action figures and Bruce unboxes the new Powertown Bruiser Brody figure.  It's a beauty, eh.
Enjoy.
