SlurpToast

Originally recorded 6/4/23

Well, this one was short as neither of your hosts had much to talk about this time.

We were able to discuss, briefly:

• Home Ownership woes

Then there were lag issues so we shut it down.

We're going to do a special episode about Spider-Man as soon as Stephe sees the movie, so stay tuned.

So, after the debacle that was the first attempt at episode 59, we thought we'd try again.

It was a rocky start with some technical issues (which I will get resolved).  Once we worked through those, we were off to the races.

We talked about, among other things:

• Stephe's trip to Senior Honors Night

And we end with a hearty "that's not how its works your jerk off."

Enjoy.

Well, we went into this one without a plan, and, frankly, it shows.

We started out with Stephe finishing a gourmet dinner courtesy of the Quick Trip.  While he slammed that down Bruce kept the ship moving in some sort of direction.

Looking for inspiration, we then went into a double round of "What's on Your Desk?" that yielded some fun results.

As it does, that led into some (at this point) obligatory Funko talk including the demise of Mondo.

All of this happened with laggy internet that had Stephe looking like an extra in a Godzilla movie.

We talked briefly about Stephe's Opening Day 2023.  The Royals lost.

From there we talked about all sorts of things.  What sort?  Glad you asked.

• SDCC

And we ended with Fanny Burps.

Well, not actual ones.  Just talking about them.

It's a big day on SlurpToast.  This episode we had our first streaming guest, the Mandalorian of Metal himself, Chris Smith.  Chris is the author of the new book, Unreality - a novel.

Chris joins the boys to talk about his new book (releasing on 3/23/23), the publishing process, his previous book, the ups and downs of self-publishing, University of Houston basketball and his guiding light, music.

In addition to the time spent with Chris, the boys got into some other stuff as well:

• An early round of What's on Your Desk?

Bruce throws down the gauntlet for Stephe's next "12 Days of..." viewing challenge, this on featuring Gerard Butler.  The list for "The Butler Did It" is:

1. Dracula 2000

May Manny have mercy on his soul.

And we finished up with an update on the "Give Me Tacos or Give Me Death" logo.  Trust me when I say you want to keep an eye on this one!

The boys are back after a month long hiatus that saw Stephe bored with leadership training and Bruce disfigured by a rogue tree branch.

They started things off with a conversation about Funko and their plan to dispose of 30 million dollars worth of dead stock inventory.  As our resident Funko Fanatic, Stephe had thoughts.

After that we discussed Wakanda Forever and a new MCU fan theory making the rounds on the internet.  This one actually has some legs.

What else:

How about:

• Stephe's kitchen remodel

And then the show ended with Stephe invoking the name of Papa Shango.

Nothing good can come from that.

Enjoy.

It started out as an aside by Stephe in Episode 54.

"We should do something about Sammy Hagar for our 55th episode."

Bruce, of course, ran with it.

That's how you get the music episode.

Of course we ran into a bout of COVID and a Texas ice storm before we got to do something about Sammy Hagar.

We start off with a tale from the SlurpToast vaults.  The boys reminisce about the day they found out David Lee Roth left Van Halen and how they spent the day picking new lead singers from the available crop in 1985.

Then we talked a lot about concerts, Billy Joel and our general problems with gravity.

We touched on Bruce's half-bake theory of personal pop music relevance.

We went into WAY too much detail about Stephe's recent float therapy experiences.  I'll just say "splish, splish, splish" and leave it at that.

We played a round of "What's on Your Desk?"

Then we talked about the MCU's pending dive into Quantumania and Jonathan Majors' pending superstardom.

Stephe talked about a recent leadership seminar he attended and its connection to Columbo.

We ended things up with a quick chat about Poker Face on Peacock.

That's a lot to get through, but we know if we can, so can you.

Enjoy!

Happy New Year everyone!

I told you'd we back.

The boys open things up by playing with Bruce's new White Elephant podcast light.  Boys and their toys...right?

Up next is holiday chatter.

Discussion of Bruce's son's disastrous shredder work is followed up with praise for him getting a job.

Then we segue into tonight's main event.

In response to the glut of Hallmark movies around the holidays, Stephe took it upon himself to take on the Twelve Days of Liam.  Yes, he watched twelve Liam Neeson movies so, thankfully, we don't have to.

Here's the list:

• Honest Thief

We all owe the man a debt of gratitude.

Bruce shared his somewhat less arduous holiday viewing:

• Glass Onion

Then we spent an inordinate amount of time discussing Zardoz thanks to a meme Bruce posted.

We ended with a rousing round of "What's on Your Desk?" - featuring the Dream of the Magi.  What does that mean?  Listen!

We also mentioned Hunter Roberts' Dodge Neon bit.  HERE IS THE PROMISED LINK.

Okay, so this episode nearly became our lost episode.

We recorded it before Thanksgiving, then Bruce started a new job, there were holidays and the death of a pet.

Lots of stuff happened.

But we are getting back on track for the new year, so enjoy this episode and there will be another one later in the week.

What did we talk about?

• Stolen work trucks

Happy New Year kids!

See you soon.

We're back and, as promised, we've got some stuff we want to share.  Yes, we update the Cannonball Run franchise for the new millennium.

We also hit on:

• Stephe's phone migration project

As for those follows, here they are:

If you ever wanted to really get to know your hosts, this is the episode to do it.  

We somehow got off into a rousing round of our patented circle game, this one revolving around 70s television.  It's quality.

From there we talk about:

• She-Hulk

Enjoy!
