SlurpToast

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

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
HockeyVan 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.

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!
 

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.
Among the many things we discussed were:
What If
No Time to Die
How to Create a Bond Verse
Where are the other 00s
Black Widow (finally)
The made-for-tv origins of Shatterstar
Celebrity Jeopardy
Turd Ferguson
How about a Hanna-Barbera Movie Universe?
Squid Games
Peter Capaldi's Doctor Who as aging rock star
We also have our first ever "What's On Bruce's Desk?" The answer came from the fine folks at Pro Wrestling Tees.

After a couple of recording delays due to kids and medications (old guy issues), we are back and ready to talk about things like:
National Drink Beer Day
Stephe's Insurance Card Story
Max Headroom
Suburban Curse
Changing Meds
The Joys/Side Effects of Ozempic
Hot Take Sports Announcers
Believe It, Buy It, Bet It (tm)

Bruce kicks it off by casting Damian Lewis as Daredevil
Dusty Rhodes
The Ladies Man
What If
Party Thor
Loki
Dusty Rhodes v The Ladies Man
Oh, and Bruce figured out the audio issue from episode 28 so you can hear both hosts today.

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
Trolling ex-family members
Mango Pepsi
What If...
Hawkeye
Matt Fraction
Vacation Friends
Why doesn't Disney do theme songs for Marvel movies?
How to pronounce that New Zealand director guy's name
Shang Chi
Free Guy
Planet of the Apes
Get Out
The Magic of UHF
Gundam
Pinewood Derby
Moon Knight
Is Disney trying to buy WWE?
And finally, "Exotic" Adrian Street
Yeah, this guy!
Enjoy and I promise we'll have the audio fixed for episode 29
 

Tonight's episode is brought to you by bourbon.
The boys are back from their respective vacations and have a LOT to catch up on.
This week's topics include:
Lawrence Block's Matthew Scudder books

Oh yeah, and Bruce got the Rodecaster to work so we've got lots of fun drops.
Enjoy.

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:
Beard Talk
The Death of Dusty Hill
ZZ Top
Teaching kids how to drive
How we learned to drive

Stephe's Mexican love life
And finally, "What's Adjacent to Stephe's Desk?"
Time for vacation.  See you in a couple of weeks.
