Badslant Podcast

The Iceman is back, and he gives a play-by-play of his trip to the Big Apple. The boys try Popeyes’ latest offering to the chicken sandwich game and surprise, it was actually warm this time. The guys discuss the fast approaching Thanksgiving holiday and explain why this year's dinner may be more expensive. The boys also take some time to breakdown the Washington Commanders’ upset win over the prev...

The holidays are around the corner so what better way to kick off the season than with another #NOICE episode! (Be prepared, because it’s probably not the last.) AJ and JJ take the reins and steer hard into the spicy sandwich game with Arby’s dual entries into the space. After several minutes of heavy sweating, JJ humors AJ as they spend a significant amount of time on a certain YouTube star's met...

It's the sequel to the Korean beer episode you didn't know you needed. JJ brings a veritable horn of plenty (of Korean beers that is) for the guys to try. The crew recaps their Halloween festivities and an ominous figure looms large for future episodes of the show. AJ shows his disdain for the once-mighty Halloween movie franchise while giving praise to a potential new classic. Things end on a sou...

On the All Hallows Eve episode the BS crew discuss their Halloween plans and why there are so many school holidays. The boys completely skip Oktoberfest beers and dive deep into the pumpkin beers that have been out since the middle of July. The boys recap a romp around the town and their lovely evening filled the taste of the high life. Its another bite size episode so grab some candy you ordered...

This week, the BS crew pivots away from Korean beers and two hour fiascos and back to spicy sandwiches and hour long eps. After the tasting, AJ offers a quick palate cleanse whilst discussing his shiny new iPhone. From there, the boys recap a magical first season of She-Hulk and how it could shape the future of the MCU. It’s quite a lot to digest in just over an hour. Listen or get smashed. 

It's a Korean Beer extravaganza, as the Iceman does yeoman's work to find a bevy of "Korean" libations to share with the crew. Obviously, they can't all be winners but a few offerings manage to avoid the dreaded dump bucket and steal the show. The boys pivot from heavy boozing to big balling as they delve into the newly released Redeem Team basketball documentary currently airing on Netflix, which...

The boys celebrate the start of season 5 of the Badslant Podcast with the best bubbly you can find at a warehouse store. AJ discusses newfound freedoms at the VA ABCs, alongside news of potential breakfast offerings from a beloved fried chicken chain. The guys then delve into the world of Korean libations and the connections they have to their everyday lives. Finally, JJ digs into his bag to break...

After last week’s discussion, the boys jump at the chance to try Shake Shack's collab sandwiches with Hot Ones. Once the heat subsides, the guys recap their latest weekend get together, this one featuring a cast of characters that left much to be desired. Along the way, JJ rises from the ashes of his failed parlays to snatch the PK title from a reluctant AJ. Nerd talk rounds out the show as the bo...

This week, a tardy JJ walks in on a discussion about what he looked like with hair, and the boys were off to the races. The guys recount what amounted to a BS day out on the water with Captain Ice. Back on shore, the Chairman gives his 4 day, hands on review of the new iPhone 14 while lamenting what may have been with a rollable LG phone. The Cold One also reveals a life changing decision that has...

A returning AJ regales the crew with his whimsical tour of the Scottish Isles. The Old Moderator shares the bounty from his trip, which included some scotch, a little gin, and a full bodied recap of a TV show that only airs after 10 PM in the UK. Elsewhere, JJ is the bringer of snacks and the show slowly but surely derailed. The boys summed up the 'Ders debut and how they may fair in the following...

It was another AJ-less episode and The New Moderator and Iceman were there to ensure he was not missed. The New Dynamic Duo recapped the latest Apple Event but it somehow dovetailed into really deep topics that neither were prepared for. They somehow pivoted out of these touchy subjects and dove deep into what was wrong with the DCEU and if there is any hope to salvage it. A quick trip into the la...

On the heels of AJ & JJ hacking up their collective lungs last week, the boys decided to gather at the Batcave to power through a fresh episode. The fellas discussed 'Untold', the documentary series about Manti Te'o and his infamous catfishing experience that captivated a nation. After a beat, the guys thoroughly shamed JJ for not catching any of the She-Hulk series or the second episode of 'H...

The OG Moderator returns but with a twist, as it's another remote show. And as with most remote shows, there were technical difficulties and a surprise new voice filter employed exclusively for the live stream. After getting through the initial shock and awe, the boys discuss whether the Ices of the world should have to pay extra for seemingly standard features on an EV built and sold by a certain...

Ice returns from yet another vacay and AJ takes a much-needed break from the podcast, possibly for good. All jokes aside, The New Moderator took the reins and they were off and running. The new dynamic duo recapped the Iceman's annual summer vacation down to OBX filled with drinks, crabbing, and golf cart boys. A food story (shocker) about the best fried chicken in the country led to the boys conv...

It's the last NoIce episode for the foreseeable future so let AJ and JJ take the opportunity to head back to the studio and recount the latter's pilgrimage to Scranton, PA's finest paper distributors. After the parkour shenanigans cease, the boys take a deep dive into the latest installment of the Predator series, "Prey", currently streaming on Hulu. Later, AJ gives his review of the latest Woodst...

Ice returns from his most recent vacation, and the boys immediately delve into why a certain, local professional baseball team seemingly hates its fans. Later, AJ gives everyone a quick blackjack update, providing a glimpse at real degenerate behavior. In more fashionable news, JJ recounts the ups and downs from a busy Yeezy Day 2022, detailing both his Ls and Ws. Toward the end, the boys try to d...

It's another NOICE episode but this time, it definitely showed, as AJ and JJ encountered a host of technical issues. As a result, the BS bros pivoted from their usual format and kept this episode under 2 hours (which might be a first in the post-pandemic era of the show). Hell, the show might've come in closer to an hour, if it weren't for AJ shoehorning in some chatter about his beloved WWE. Rega...

Happy 200! (Episodes that is.) It's AJ and the Iceman ringing in the occasion with a LOT of Vegas talk. (Like nearly an hour's worth.) There's gambling, Irish coffees, even a celebrity sighting or two! Once AJ empties his coffers, it's back into the nerd realm, as the guys preview the illustrious return of San Diego Comic-Con 2022. JJ or no JJ, it's a full bodied show this week so you've been...

On this full size edition of the program, AJ and the Iceman give their reviews of the latest installment in the Thor series, "Thor: Love and Thunder". Suffice to say, opinions seem to confirm it was good if not somewhat vexing. That discussion gives way to a deeper dive into what's likely in store for this rest of the MCU in Phase 4. And on a related note, as rumors swirl about another Top Gun seq...

As per usual, JJ is 10 minutes late to the proceedings but the Iceman comes through with some celebrity burgers to help fill the void. The excitement is short lived, as the boys are once again subjected to room temp fast food, but it’s not a total loss. The boys cleanse their palates with a hearty recap of the Independence Day weekend, complete details from Captain Ice's maiden voyage on the high...

Between summer trips, traffic jams, and bodily injuries, you would think this week would be an ideal time for the boys to take a holiday break. But with all the Disney+ happenings, NBA news, and MCU shenanigans to dissect, you know that wasn't in the cards. With the Iceman on his scheduled leave, AJ & JJ take the opportunity to do a deeper (i.e. nerdier) dive into the recently concluded Obi Wa...

It's a wacky week but late start not withstanding, the guys dive right into the heavy stuff, in particular: AJ's sprint into old age, JJ's enduring need to be outside, and the Iceman's headfirst leap into a new hobby. Of course, when the boys aren't confronting middle age, they're talking fried chicken, and somehow, that discussion spawns a brand new moniker for the Iceman. At this point, the boys...

It's a barn burner this week as the Iceman returns to the show, and he brings stories from his Caribbean vacation. The Cold One even takes a moment to sing the praises for 'Top Gun: Maverick', with some pointed (and rather unexpected) comments about the film's cast. Meanwhile, in stateside news, JJJ provides a glimpse inside Nike's newly minted brick-and-mortar shop in the wilds of Northern VA. Al...

It's summer so you know a #NoIce show was coming sooner or later. This time around, AJ and JJ pay homage to the Chairman by talking up some Ice-centric topics, namely, this year's WWDC, as well as a madcap week in the world of golf. Of course, with Ice away, there's way less technical analysis and far more wrestling analogies. Beyond that, JJ climbs the soapbox to share his experiences in the surp...

For the first time ever, Dr. Beats and Uncle Phil joined forces to storm the Badslant studios. The duo sat in as the Iceman recounted his birthday week, and much like the occasion, the show went quickly off the rails. There were Malört shots, lengthy intermissions, and hip hop flavored snacks of the spicy kind. There's even a tale of errant urination! Sullied gym clothes notwithstanding, there's a...
