SlurpToast

Everything Looked Throbby with Special Guest John Moorehouse

Episode 37 finds the podcast taking another step forward as we conduct our first interview.

Tonight we welcomed John Moorehouse of In Moore House Wrestling to the show.

John comes on to talk about his new wrestling related project and all things wrestling.  

It's a good time.  You want to listen.

After John leaves, we return to more of our usual shenanigans, including:

• handling unemployment hearings
• inappropriate workplace conversations
• slumpbusting
• craft brewing
• chiropractic care
• Moon Knight
• GOOD tequila
• "What's on Bruce's Desk?"
• How bad the new Buckaroo Banzai book is
• Finding good Cajun food in obscure places
• Confederacy of Dunces

The episode was apparently brought to us, AGAIN, by Dr. Nut.

You can follow all of John's doings on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.  Just clink on the links.

 

 

It’s Like Medieval Times with Toreadors

The boys are back from the holidays and ring in the new year with an episode that covers a wide range of topics.

How wide?

I'm glad you asked.

How about this list:

• The Book of Boba Fett
• The Death of Bob Saget
• An idea to combine a bunch of holidays
• Beatles at the Pops
• Elvis Costello
• The Magic of Ted Lasso

• How Doctor Who has done Jodie Whittaker dirty
• How much the new Buckaroo Banzai book sucks

All that and more as we ring in 2022...SlurpToast style.

Oh...and here's the link for No Context Dusty on Instagram

How the Grinch Ate Our Podcast

This whole episode was a disaster.

It started when my computer wouldn't recognize Google.  That meant I had to move all my equipment around and we had no sound effects board.

Then we were uninspired and the show was really flat.

Then Zoom started an upgrade and ate the audio.

That was probably for the best.

So, rather than let the evening be a complete bust, I took a cue from Spinal Tap and  went full Jazz Odyssey.

I picked two vocal track completely at random.  One for Stephe and one for me.

I have no idea how well they match up, but I fused them together like some stereophonic Frankenstein.

Whatever that adds up is what you get tonight.

Consider it my Christmas gift to you.

Your reaction will determine if you were naughty or nice.

Revenge is a Dish Best Served Cajun

The boys are back from Thanksgiving and working without a script.  That's not that unusual around here, but still, you'd think they'd learn.

Anyway, here are some of the topics discussed on tonight's show:

• Paying Medical Bills
• Mail scams
• Stephe finally read Scumbag
• The Boys and the dangers of Herogasm
• The trouble with the trees
• Lawyers
• Bruce goes full fanboy over MJF
• Bad Motherfucker:  The Life and Movies of Samuel L Jackson, the Coolest Man in Hollywood
• Snakes on a Plane v. Planes on a Snake
• ArcaneBullshit.com
• Stephe's weird obsession with glassblowing shows
• The weirdness of 90s music - we're looking at you Lou Bega

We also spent a lot of time at the top of the show discussing Frome - their products and their excellent customer service.  This is a free plug...unless they want to send us some free swag.

There‘s Only Some Many Rock and Roll Scarves to Go Around

So, I guess this is our Thanksgiving episode.  In retrospect, I'm disappointed in us for not even mentioning WKRP.

What did we talk about?

Glad you asked:

• Old Men Ailments Continue
• We Hate Ties
• Nick Cave and Warren Ellis touring together
• The inconsistency of studs
• Stolen work trucks
• Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
• Hawkeye (possibly Matt Fraction)
• James Ellroy and hipster patter
• More joys of Ozempic
• Batman TAS and JLU - stylish AF
• Marvel v. DC toys
• Heroes Reborn (timely)
• For some reason...Styx chat
• We introduce the world to Quaalude Bungalow

Bruce also gave an unsolicited plug to CovrPrice as he begins the process of selling of his comic collection

This Episode Got the Squirm Brain Going

I'll be honest with you, this episode is a train wreck.

We started recording and Bruce's internet went out.

We started again and Bruce forgot to hit record.

We started again again and managed to get something usable recorded.

It ain't pretty, but it's an episode.

What did we talk about?

How about:

• What the BAF?
• t-shirts
• The Eternals
• Titantic
• Hit Monkey
• MODOK
• Hockey
  Van Gogh
• The Doors
• Reckless by Ed Brubaker
• The Department of Truth
• Getting Duggan'd
• Gambit's rumored appearance in Moon Knight
• How much Joe Buck sucks
• New SNL guy James Austin Johnson
• Mozart Encores

Yeah, it's all over the place, even for us.

Also, for the first time ever, we find out what's on BOTH hosts' desks.

Oh, and here's a link to the book Stephe mentioned if you are so inclined.

Around the Horn It Goes Billy to Morris to Kurt

Stephe is still talking about how he's best friends with Billy Zane.

When he took a breath, we also talked about:

• Terry Cronin
• Michael Kingston
• Headlocked
• Stephe's visit to Auschwitz (the exhibit)
• COVID
• Halloween (2018)
• Our idea for a shared James Bond Universe
• SNL (a lot of SNL)
• American Flagg
• Howard Chaykin
• The artistic history of the Marvel Micronauts comic
• OMAC
• Jack Kirby

We did not talk about the Leaphorn & Chee novels, because Stephe has never read any.  Too busy rubbing elbows with the Phantom...I guess.

Enjoy!

 

Unlocking the Mysteries of the Panty Tree

Look, this one just got away from us, okay?

We talked about a lot of good stuff, but the diversions were legion.  Funny, but legion.

We also have our first ever "What's On Bruce's Desk?" The answer came from the fine folks at Pro Wrestling Tees.

Oh, and Bruce figured out the audio issue from episode 28 so you can hear both hosts today.

Its Pronounced Taquito Wowtitty and Imagine What He Could Do To You

Recorded 9/9/21

So, right up front I should tell you Bruce sounds like he's in a trash can.  Sorry for that part of the audio.  Still learning to use the new toys.

That being said, it's a solid show here for you.  The boys talk about a lot of things including, but not limited to:

• Top Golf
