SlurpToast

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

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.

Recorded April 8, 2021

Episode 19 is in the books and coming at you in that SlurpToast style to which you've become accustomed.

We start out with some work chat and then segue into what are becoming regular segments for us:  baseball and Moon Knight.

After that we touch on whole range of topics including, but not limited to:

• Batman (specifically how he lost his money)

We try to end the show on a classy note with Stephe discussing the book he is currently reading, Wit's End: What Wit Is, How It Works, and Why We Need It.  You're welcome for the plug James Geary.

Has it been two weeks already?

We've got a full slate this week.

The topics we discuss include:

• The Snyder Cut

And our main topic is a discussion of how long television shows should go one.  Stephe's recent first time binge of Community leads us into a discussion of why shows go on long after they are vital, shows that have stayed too long, shows that stayed strong until the end and what the differences can be.

We got really into it so this one goes a little long.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

The first annual SlurpToast Holiday Episode revolves, mostly, around baseball.

That makes sense, right?

We also talk about:

• Failing at Candy Captcha

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

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

All that and more on Episode 11.
