    Giving you more in 2024.  That's just a working motto, but we'll start with that.

  • College housing
  • Signs of chivalry
  • Godzilla
  • The Iron Claw
  • The Bear
  • They Live
  • Recasting John Nada for the modern day
  • Katt Williams
  • Design by committee
  • How large a role Roddy McDowell played in our childhoods
  • Minimalist logo redesign
  • All that and we ended things with a solid "What's on Your Desk."

    Stick around to the end to hear our new outro music.

  • The Legend of Paul Bunyan - LumberMech

    Originally recorded 12/10/23

     

    Heard you missed us!  We're back!

    This isn't always as easy as it looks.  Your hosts, despite their best intentions, fell behind on getting this episode to you.

    Why?

    We both got sick, but, oh no, not at the same time.  We staggered it rendering us both useless for extended periods of time.

    We're sorry for the delay, but we both think tonight's episode will make up for our absence.

    Why?

    Take a look at this list of topics:

    • Health updates
  • Traffic complaints
  • More on the joys of home ownership
  • A quick shout out to the late Norman Lear
  • Southern Bastards
  • Bedazzling and other horrible 80s fashion choices
  • SNL
  • Stephe's adventures in Tai Chi
  • Real Genius
  • Doctor Who
  • Listen to the live creation of Mayberry RIP
  • The Legend of Paul Bunyan - LumberMech
  • Look, we're really proud of those last two.  We really think you'll like them.

    Give it a listen as you head to grandma's house.

    Buckle up, kids.  Tonight you an episode with an actual theme.

    That's right, after the boys talk about some of their usual nonsense, they go full Mr. Blackwell on MLB and break down the league's City Connect uniforms.

    Who has what it takes?

    Who misses the mark?

    Who looks like they showed up late for a beer league?

    Take a listen and find out.

  • 2/3 of the Beast

    Originally recorded 10/8/23

    Bruce relocated and the tech issues seem to be resolved.  However, that didn't stop the show from going off the rails in its own glorious ways.

    How?

  • Swag and how to prepare it
  • Fun with logos
  • How much does an archipelago cost?
  • Scooby Doo and the Spooky Kabuki

  • Hanna Barbera was very concerned about crime
  • Stephe's Malaysian memories
  • We WAY overthink Lidsville
  • Taylor Swift
  • Loki
  • Warrior
  • Bailey's Comets
  • The Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan

    Originally recorded September 20, 2023

    After a month long break (sorry) that saw kids moved to college and Stephe admitted to the hospital (we cover it), the boys are back and have lots to catch up on.

    What you may ask?

    How about:

    • Candlebox
  • College Move In
  • The status of Stephe's basement
  • Hospitalization from dehumidification
  • The return of Old Men and Their Ailments
  • Stephe's adventures at the theater

  • Transfer the Wet

    Originally recorded August 15, 2023

    The boys are back for the first time since their annual geek pilgramage to San Diego for Comic-Con.

    There's conversation about SDCC as well as:

    • Stephe's recent sump pump issues and their effects on his home
  • Paul's letters to the Corinthians regarding their fine leather
  • The stand-up comedy coaching tree
  • Cheech and Chong
  • Monkey Jumpers (just listen)
  • Bruce's impressions of his first Funko Fundays
  • The liberation that comes from leaving completism behind

    There's more, but really, listen for the Monkey Jumpers.  You'll be glad you did.

  • Comedy is Not Pretty

    Originally recorded July 10, 2023

    The boys are in full SDCC anticipation mode.  That, however, doesn't mean tonight's episode isn't a good one.

    Stephe had been presented with the argument that Steve Martin was a "transformative comedian."  Well, you can be sure we've got some opinions on comedy and comedians.  It's a lively discussion about who we consider transformation comedians.  We talk about comics we've enjoyed over the years and their place in the annals of comedy (ie Sam Kinison).  We do our best to do bits justice.  It's a lively discussion about a subject close to both hosts' hearts.

    We also get into things like;

    • Ryan Gosling as Mr. Fantastic
  • Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
  • The lessons of Twitter
  • Tesla
  • The danger of Elvis impersonators
  • SDCC wish lists
  • "What's on Your Desk?" follows up on last episode's discussion of the need for Jack Kirby action figures and Bruce unboxes the new Powertown Bruiser Brody figure.  It's a beauty, eh.

    Enjoy.

  • Going the Full Bradshaw

    Originally recorded 6/19/23

    After the disaster that was Episode 60, the boys come out swinging for the fences.

    The technical difficulties seem to be a thing of the past opening it up for lots of good conversation. 

    What did we conversate about?

    How about:

    • Pop Tarts
  • Stephe's daughter's trip to France
  • Father's Day
  • SDCC
  • The Mystery of the SDCC Tote Bags
  • Funko
  • Funko Fundays 
  • The fun of the Spider-verse and it's many prepositions
  • The Flash
  • Jack Kirby's Kamandi
  • Mile High Comics
  • THE MOIST LEBOWSKI (listen to this part...seriously)
  • Seeing Dice at Rogan's comedy club
  • Stephe had something on his desk.  Bruce did not.

    All that and much more is here for your listening pleasure, but buckle up, it's a long one.

    Enjoy.
