Badslant Podcast

Another episode from Studio B and there is a betrayal of epic proportions related to the group's most recent parlay bet. And it’s so bad that a penance HAS to be paid. On top of that, the boys ponder the morality of eating McDonald’s fries and the status of JJ’s Coach Sleuth's youth basketball league. Elsewhere, the guys recap an unexpectedly eventful Thanksgiving week, complete with shots...

It's a Thanksgiving miracle as the boys gather a few days early to bring you a little joy for your holiday travels. It wouldn't be a Thanksgiving episode without some delicious treats so the boys try Popeyes’ new ghost pepper wing variants, and the results are surprising. The segment sweeping the nation, "Who Ruined It”, returns for a special holiday themed edition as the guys assess...

Another week, another episode in Studio B (and maybe for the foreseeable future). AJ gives a brief update on Studio A, and there’s a glimmer of hope for an eventual return. Beyond that, it’s an MCU-heavy episode, with analysis of 'The Marvels’ and its lackluster debut, and news of a possible pivot away from Jonathan Majors’ doomed portrayal of Kang. The boys also discuss the latest trailers fo...

The Iceman is back, and the show is still emanating out of Studio B. AJ comes bearing gifts, and Ice provides updates on renovations to the BatCave and his youth soccer team's perfect season. It's another installment of "Who Ruined It", and this week's culprit probably won't surprise you. The boys also discuss the impending merger of two amusement park giants, and the Ice...

#NoIce this week but there’s plenty of AJ and JJ to fill the void. This show hits the road to a brand new location. But the excitement is muted when JJ hits AJ with an accusation of cultural appropriation. Cooler heads would prevail but between living life on the road and having the studio ripped to shreds, it’s a rough time for the Moderator. Speaking of tough times, the boys review their most re...

Beats is back in the fold for another week, and he reveals that he is something of a Halloween enthusiast. With the holiday approaching, the boys look back on celebrations and costumes from days gone by. Some were hits, some were misses, and others were near disasters. And speaking of poor decisions, the guys spend time discussing a variety of shaky endeavors, specifically: the upcoming Scott Pilg...

JJ takes leave this week but our friend, Dr. Beats, is back in studio to fill the void (and then some). Unfortunately for him, he’s sucked into the eye of a Taylor Tornado, as the Iceman reviews the Eras concert movie film extravaganza. Of course, when a Swiftie gets going, it’s difficult to stop them so the guys are forced to make a HARD pivot to something a bit more adult. Afterward, the boys ta...

We scarcely know how to describe this week’s show. There’s about an hour dedicated to elective, male surgery for one of our hosts. There’s a decent chunk of time devoted to even more dipping sauce talk. Hell, there’s even a little pontificating about last week’s NFL picks that went completely awry. But that’s why you play the game, and we still have 12 weeks to rite the ship. Dip a whole wing in s...

AJ is back from vacation, and the boys greet him the only way they know how: by bringing fried chicken. AJ returns the favor by sharing stories from his trip to the Greek isles, complete with beautiful sights, cheap eats, and some not-so-tasty local liqueurs. The boys also discuss the news of a surprise arrest in the 2Pac murder case while toasting the recovery of another 90’s hip hop great. (Pro...

We celebrate the 6th anniversary of the Badslant Podcast with another episode without AJ. The Iceman and the New Moderator are powered by new Tech and give you their honest reviews of the latest iPhone 15 Pro and Apple Watch Ultra 2. On this week's "Who Ruined It?", the fellas discuss AJ's obsession with a certain NFL team and give their picks for the show's Week 4 group bet....

AJ returns and brings tales from the road, complete with super sized gas stations, flight delays, and bodily fluids. It’s not a total loss though, as he comes bearing gifts for Ice and JJ. Beyond that, the guys giddily recount Week 2 of the NFL season and how a sketchy coaching call saved their group parlay bet. The boys also lament the sad and sudden cancellation of Winning Time and its broader i...

The New Moderator and the Iceman recap the week 1 tailgating that led to a few casualties and an addition to the Iceman's liquor do not touch list. A quick recap of the crew's NFL picks and what the hell is going on with MGM. Finally, it wouldn't be a BS show if there wasn't a recap of the Apple event and whether any of the fellas will upgrade their phone this year. Grab a good cup...

It’s almost week 1 of the NFL season, and the boys are all in (sort of). The Iceman confronts a parking snafu (courtesy of your WASHINGTON COMMANDERS) that threatens to derail the whole tailgate experience before it begins. Elsewhere, the boys formally crown a 2022-23 BS Parlay King before wiping the gambling slate clean for the new season. After much debate, the guys begrudgingly lay down a group...

The Iceman returns from his first golf trip and he’s got stories. But first, food! The fellas try the newest chicken sandwich from Chick Fil A and pair it with… a non-alcoholic tequila. Sadly, the whole experience leaves much to be desired. The boys then pay tribute to the late Windham Rotunda aka Bray Wyatt, who passed away unexpectedly earlier in the week at age 36. They also pour one out for Bo...


I'll Do Anything… for Simple Plan. At least that’s what the Iceman said going into his latest (and likely last) concert experience of summer ‘23. The guys put a bow on the season, recapping the last few days before the start of the new school year. They also discuss the Commonwealth of Virginia's latest plan to fix its broken Bourbon lottery system. Elsewhere, AJ ponders which of his many...

The Iceman recaps his previously unannounced trip to see the biggest K-Pop group in the world. As we’re quick to learn, the tickets were hard to come by, even for a diehard BLINK. Elsewhere, the boys discuss their latest Jinro-soaked social gathering. The guys also take a moment to lament the bombshell news surrounding one of the best feel-good sports movies from the last 20 years, The Blind Side....

AJF is in the house, and the boys recap his huge birthday celebration (complete with special, surprise guests)! The boys dissect a seemingly mundane Commanders story that somehow became front page news. The Iceman whips out some overseas snacks and spoiler alert: the crew was relatively impressed. Grab a ruffled chip and have a listen.

AJ is back from his weeks long excursion and somehow returns a full year older! Join us in wishing @ajontheweb a happy 40th! The Old Mod recounts his blur of a weekend with Uncle Phil in Chicago, complete with a review of Netflix’s American Gladiators doc. The boys also chat some more about Washington’s football team, specifically, two of the team’s players who seem to be moving in opposite direct...

Another week and another AJ less episode. The New Moderator and the Iceman hold down the fort and recap their respective summer trips and what their strategies are for dealing with the summer getaway traffic. They dive really deep into the sale of the Washington franchise that was 9 months in the making and explain why the are "All in for Week 1". Lastly, they touch on the phenomenon kno...

It was a nice tight show until it wasn’t. The boys kicked things off with a tasting of what may be the BEST DAMN PREMIUM ALCOHOLIC #SELTZER period (Chef’s Kiss). Once the pleasantries were exchanged, the heat kicked in. The discussions got weird… #Threads vs #Twitter, Hubs vs Clubs, McGregor vs Pauls, Prime vs ZOA, Fantasy vs Best Friend’s Wedding, #DC vs #Marvel, and more. Hey.. we told you it go...

What should’ve been a light hearted show about fishing and fast food got real spicy real quick. JJ (aka TJ) kicked down the studio doors way sooner than expected. Naturally, the boys took advantage of the early start and got to tasting. First up was the new Cheesy Jalapeño QPC from McDonald’s, followed by the returning Volcano Tacos from Taco Bell. But before a thorough review could be had, a new...

Happy National Fried Chicken Day! JJ delays the start of the show in more ways than one, but what he lacks in timeliness, he makes up for with hot chicken. AJ is back from hiatus, and he joins the group in pondering what could’ve been last week had his hotel internet cooperated. The full crew discusses Meta’s threat to Twitter, all the movies worth watching this month, and the latest installment o...

Live and direct from the Batcave JJ and the Iceman had the Seinfeld of shows about nothing. Due to technical difficulties AJ got the night off and The New Moderator steered the conversation into several different tangents. It got weird to start but the boys reigned it in and talked a lot about summer movies, country music festivals, and how time is just flying by. Grab some popcorn and your light...

AJ comes in hot this week with another round of new beverages for the guys to try. After a brief taste test, they dissect the blockbuster Bradley Beal trade, and the direction of the Washington Wizards franchise. They delve into other local sports news no one really cares about before pivoting to the one thing everyone seems to care about: the Oceangate search. It gets out of hand from there. This...

Iceman Returns. And ironically, he’s got hot takes, specifically, about the best big screen Batman and the right direction for Washington’s Wizards going forward. JJ discusses his plans for his foster dog before waxing poetic about the forthcoming Mortal Kombat 1 game. It’s a free flowing episode so the boys are all over the place. Don’t say you weren’t warned. Oh, and they also try some more hard...
