SlurpToast

Secret Age of Infinite Rebirth Crises...Wars

aka You're About to Find Out What Your Dick's Biggest Fear Is

After a technical glitch, the boys jump into the comic book conversation in earnest this week.

The specific focus (if there is such a thing on SlurpToast) is the repeated and frequent continuity reboots of the big two.  Stemming from a conversation Stephe had on another show about DC's Infinite Frontier, the topics tonight include:

• Spawn
• Moon Knight (duh)
• Black Hammer
• Batman
• The Flash
• Squadron Supreme
• The Snyder Cut
• WandaVision
• And, the tax benefits of being Batman

It makes sense.  It really does.

Stephe also asked me to put a link to the WWE History I am currently reading.  The book is titled We Promised You a Great Main Event:  An Unauthorized WWE History and it's a snarky delight.

Little Dick Energy and World Series Balls

Bruce has finally dug out of the Texas Snowpacalypse and the boys are ready to record again.

In addition to stories of braving the cold and new hot water heaters, they discuss:

• Gina Carano and what her exit from Disney+ means to our fan casting of her as Big Barda
• Keanu as Kraven
• JLaw as Sue Storm
• Stephe's continued struggles with Extreme Yoga on Instagram
• Karate and MMA
• Funko
• The Snyder Cut
• Matt Stairs
• Situational middle relievers
• Justin Verlander's sloppy seconds

Lots of stuff covered with only a few awkward silences.

And a big shout out to David at Radiant Plumbing for getting Bruce and his family hot water again so quickly.

Why Are There So Many Damned Pouches?

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.

Hot Droid on Droid Action

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.

 

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!
