Badslant Podcast

This week, the boys recap three VERY different Memorial Day celebrations. Ice is still raging, this time in a slightly more appropriate setting. AJ attempts to live a little and pays dearly for it, while Jack goes straight medieval. With the dust fully settled on the holiday, it’s on to the business that is the season two finale of The Last of Us. To say the guys were conflicted about the rather a...

This week, AJ discovers the song of the summer, and BOY is it a doozy. Yack recruits a new jogger to his flock, while Ice is on his best behavior after crashing out and discovering his love for dice. Of course, when he’s not rolling them bones, Ice is nailing down seat assignments for the Commanders’ home opener (because how soon IS too soon?). The boys are surprisingly bullish about post-Mission...

The Iceman's first illness of the season forces a remote episode, exposing AJ's ongoing battle with modern tech. After a few hiccups, the crew dives into their unfiltered take on Thunderbolts, the latest MCU drop, and the (sort of) big news around Daredevil: Born Again. With James Gunn teasing more Superman, the entertainment talk runs deep. They wrap with their yearly ritual: overhyping t...

After an unexpected April hiatus, AJ, The Iceman, and Yoggin Yack reunite to catch up on all the chaos they missed. Yoggin kicks things off with tales of his latest run, a Spring Break trip to Lake Anna, and a tariff-fueled splurge. The Iceman reflects on Lent and his mission to get back into fighting shape, while AJ shares the highs (and mostly lows) of his first work trip to Vegas. They wrap it...

This week, AJ ponies up for Disney+, and he is NOT thrilled with the value proposition. Regardless, he puts it to good use, as the boys give a spoiler-filled recap of the Daredevil Born Again 'season' finale (if you can call it that). For those wondering, Yack is still out there yoggin', while Ice rides the pine for the time being. Elsewhere, AJ is just barely recovered from his last injury but he...

While Yack takes his annual spring egress, AJ and Ice speculate wildly as to what he’s REALLY doing on ‘vacay’. Ice drops a body art bombshell before launching into a full breakdown of the glory that was ‘Masters Week’. AJ begins his Wrestlemania 41 preview but he’s immediately usurped by a poncho-crazed maniac. This episode is for those that enjoy a cup of coffee in the big time.

The guys are back together this week… sort of. Yack is on the hunt for a new ride, while AJ reveals a ‘secret’ side gig (which may come into play if the economy keeps going the way it has been). In addition to all the recent economic turmoil, there was weather-related drama, and AJ was smack dab in the middle of it. With the finale of Daredevil Born Again looming, the guys get you all caught up th...

Yack and Ice take a wild ride through casinos and indoor waterparks, debating whether the real winner is the blackjack table or the big wheel. Hydration remains a theme as they dive into a blind tasting of Guinness vs. Non-Alcoholic Guinness. From there, the guys embark on a bar-hopping adventure before shifting gears to a tech review of the new Nintendo Switch 2. Nostalgia kicks in as they dig in...

Yack and Ice recap a largely successful joint effort in the Middleburg 5k, complete with curious outfit choices, PBs, and fancy recovery shoes. Speaking of recovery, the guys try their hand at hydrating the Ashton Hall way, as they dissect his viral morning routine. With their bodies in check, the guys plopped down to do some serious watching (some more serious than others). Ice reviews the ‘contr...

It’s officially race week so obviously the focus of this week’s episode is… Sylvester Stallone? AJ airs his grievances with a certain 80s cult classic film, spoilery news headlines, and bad running shoes. Meanwhile, Yack is already looking passed this week’s 5k (and he’s got the perfect after-race shoes to prove it). Ice and AJ celebrate a local business of note, while JJ takes an early victory la...

It's a change of scenery this week, as the guys gather inside the new and improved Batcave. Unfortunately, it’s not under the best circumstances, as AJ recaps his nightmarish week as a dog dad. (Editor’s note: It’s not as bad as it could have been, but we’re not out of the woods so good vibes are definitely welcome.) Between moments of worry, AJ finds some time to join his cohosts (in spirit)...

This week, Yack is back, and on his birthday no less! To celebrate, the boys exchange Gen-Z slang and experiment with offbeat ice cream toppings. (Note: results may vary.) With the flavors still lingering on their palates, the boys give their reviews of Disney+’s “Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man”, complete with harsh language and numerous spoilers. AJ follows with a review of “Flow”, plus a...

It’s Oscars week, so naturally, AJ and Ice parked themselves in front of the TV to prep. Iceman gives his review of the Oscar frontrunner, “Anora”, while AJ waxes poetic about the leader in the animated category, “The Wild Robot”. When they weren’t talking film, they were pondering outlandish golf trips and schemes to pay for them. But all of that takes a backseat to AJ’s “casual” love for pro wre...

Yoggin Yack makes his triumphant return, and the fellas waste no time diving into their weekly watch history. Between SNL50, Captain America BNW, and the ugliness that was NBA All-Star Weekend, there's plenty to break down. Somehow, things take a turn into hot dog etiquette (because of course they do), right before AJ shakes up the snack paradigm with what might be the greatest Oreo cookie eve...

AJ and Ice gathered to watch some football, and boy, DO THEY HAVE THOUGHTS. The big game itself was nothing to write home about but fortunately, there were enough ancillary storylines to keep things interesting. (Lots of rum didn’t hurt either.) Kendrick’s halftime show set the world on fire, and like everyone else, the boys can’t shut up about it. Surprisingly, the biggest upset of the night didn...

Ice shares some insight on his journey into the Seinfeld cinematic universe, while AJ and JJ give a full report from their day at the DC Auto Show. The list of brands that no-showed was almost as impressive as the high powered EV they took for a spin. (Spoiler alert: it’s not a Tesla.) There’s also a mini breakdown of the new Fantastic Four trailer, plus first reax to Disney+’s "Your Friendly...

New (lunar) year, new us? The boys ring in the Year of the Snake with a lookbackbabe at a wildly successful season for the boys in Maroon and Black (shoutout Jim Zorn). For the guys, the Commies’ playoff run ended with a bit of a dud, a LOT of hot wings, and a fair amount of optimism for next year. Sadly, the guys aren’t nearly as bullish on the SupeBowl rematch from hell, the Jaguars new head coa...

Truth be told, this isn’t a sports show (at least not entirely). But when your favorite football team unexpectedly drags itself from the depths of mediocrity to the cusp of a conference title, EXCEPTIONS WILL BE MADE. This week, it’s all Commanders, all the time, as the boys look back on a stunning performance in the Divisional round from Jayden and the boys in Detroit. It’s almost enough to make...

Last week was a rough one health wise, but you know what they say:  A win in the Wild Card round… keeps the doctor out of town.  (Or something.) Anyway, the guys are back in studio and positively glowing about the Commanders’ win in Tampa. Sure, the odds are longer this week against Detroit but the boys are excited all the same (even if they don’t plan on watching the game together). Aside from al...

Snow days, school closures, and mysterious illnesses set the stage for this throwback remote episode. AJ, JJ, and the Iceman relive the chaotic highs and lows of the legendary BS Holiday Show—a tradition full of triumphs and disasters. AJ dives into the big storylines from Monday Night Raw's Netflix debut, while the crew debates whether to brave the elements for the upcoming Commanders playoff gam...

You asked for it (we think?), you’ve waited for it (probably?), and it’s finally here: It’s the 2024 holiday show, and it’s a beautiful catastrophe. The guys welcome a new face to the proceedings, bestowing upon him a nickname only a bivalve could love. After weeks of failure, the boys crown a new Parlay King, albeit with some protest. Finally, there’s the annual Bad Christmas gift swap. Among the...

Yack is back this week, and he’s taking no prisoners. Even as JJ pays his (much deserved) penance, the guys begin to wonder if the mälort bandwagon has gotten too big. The guys also take aim at the wasteland that is the live TV streaming. (Honestly, it was supposed to be a pretty innocuous opening topic but by the time the guys were done trading customer service war stories, the show was half over...

No Yack? No problem (sort of). AJ and Ice are a little slow out of the gate but once they get going, they aim to catch up on all things Luigi (and it's a lot). In the process, Ice reveals his new place of residence is officially "The Comment Section". After a few weeks off the tip, the guys get back on the gambling horse with their Week 15 football parlay. And speaking of failing financial strateg...

Thanksgiving is firmly in the rear view but the boys are still in the holiday spirit. The guys recap all the holiday festivities, both together and apart. They also find that the holiday spirit is light on food and heavy on movie watching, as they offer their thoughts on the Moana sequel, the Glicked phenomenon, and for some very odd reason, Gladiator 1. There’s more planning for the holiday show...

It’s a Thanksgiving appetizer of a show this week, but it’s a good one nonetheless. Ice declares war on the holidays, while JJ reveals the playlist of trash TV currently playing in his household. In happier news, the guys land a date for the annual BS holiday show. But before they can sort out the guest list, AJ is already thinking about spending all of April in Vegas.
