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.

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:

• And finally, "Exotic" Adrian Street

Yeah, this guy!

Enjoy and I promise we'll have the audio fixed for episode 29

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:

• Stephe's Mexican love life

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

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