Bruce and Stephe March the Podcast Into the Sea

Stephe STILL hasn't watched Black Widow, so we won't be talking about that as originally planned.

We do, however, discuss the change of the Cleveland Indians into the Cleveland Guardians.  Then we discuss other franchises that may be in danger of similar rebranding.  Stephe is able to save both the Atlanta Braves and the Chicago Blackhawks, if the fanbases will work with him.

Then we dive into other subjects:

• The Death of Dusty Hill
• ZZ Top
• Teaching kids how to drive
• How we learned to drive
• Finding Vans for Bruce's 86 year old dad
• Tim Matheson aka Otter
• Virgin River
• Outer Banks
• This Is Us
• Minor League Baseball mascots
• Whataburger Field and collection
• Stephe's Mexican love life

And finally, "What's Adjacent to Stephe's Desk?"

Time for vacation.  See you in a couple of weeks.

Never Go Full Marple aka She Sits a Mean Dick

Recorded April 28, 2021

Postponed due to Covid vaccines and called on account of inclement weather, we hit episode 20 with no script and, as usual, almost no clue what we are going to talk about.

It doesn't slow down things as we rush headlong into discussions about

• Covid vaccines
• Falcon and the Winter Soldier
• The future of the Netflix MCU
• Shang-Chi
• Sports radio
• Letterbox'd
• Nobody
• Ong Bak
• Action movies in general
• Stephe's discovery of the Brokenwood Mysteries on Acorn
• Mare of Easttown and its similarity to Broadchurch
• The Nevers (aka Steampunk X-Men)

And to wrap things up, we play our first ever game of "What's on Stephe's Desk?"  The answers may surprise you.

And we got it all in before the Central Texas weather took Bruce down again.
