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 Stephe's daughter's graduation Connor's work with Billy Strings We tiptoed around the new Spider-Man movie (which Stephe hadn't seen yet) Ted Lasso Hillbilly by Eric Powell Grendel Then there were lag issues so we shut it down. We're g...

Originally recorded 5/10/23 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 The dangers of fraternal organizations Stephe rants about the grading of...

Originally recorded 4/11/23 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...

Originally recorded 3/22/23 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...

Originally recorded 3/9/23 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...

Originally Recorded 2/6/23 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...

Originally recorded 1/4/23 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...

Originally recorded 11/16/22 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 WKRP Ranking the M...

Originally recorded on November 9, 2022 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 College football Reboot on Hulu CPAP chat Elon Musk and the implosion of Twitter Wakanda Forever The current state of the MCU Dropping the E from the DCEU Doctor Who The Worl...

Originally recorded on 10/19/22 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 Werewolf by Night Baseball  More exciting CPAP talk Why the Chiefs still get to be the Chiefs The joys of Catholic guilt E...

Originally recorded 10/2/22 Episode 50!  Another milestone for our podcast.  To celebrate we added a livestream to our arsenal.  Thanks Streamyard ! But we didn't forget to dance with who brung us. Here are some of the topics we discuss this time out: Are we livestreaming? She-Hulk The career of Jere Burns Werewolf by Night The importance of proper translation Why do we still have toes? Bruiser Br...

Originally recorded 9/14/22 It's been a couple of weeks and the boys had a chance to cool their jets a little bit. So, if we didn't go political, what did we talk about? How about: CPAPs Thor:  Love and Thunder The current state of AEW The need to bring back territorial wrestling Welcome to Wrexham Bringing relegation to US sports Harley Quinn Batman:  The Brave and the Bold personal grooming Gene...

Originally recorded on August 28, 2022 The boys take a decidedly uncharacteristic political spin on this one.  Like it or not, they've got opinions on current events. They also discuss: Harley Quinn AEW Stupid stickers Key West High school civics The Old Man and the Sea The finale of Better Call Saul House of the Dragon The Resort We play a round of what's on Bruce's desk ( Minor Threats & Surviva...

Originally Recorded 8/11/22 The boys are back from SDCC and a round of COVID and here's what is on their minds: SDCC Free posters at SDCC COVID quarantine COVID viewing Harley Quinn on HBO Max Brooklyn 99 Nash Bridges Better Call Saul The Frog of Thunder Streamyard What's on Bruce's desk?  Abdullah the Butcher GTA stories

Originally Recorded 7/14/22 Tonight the boys are giddy about their impending trip to Comic-Con in San Diego.  There's lots of SDCC chatter. Did we talk about anything else? Why of course we did. Poker and Bruce Springsteen Stephe's Horrible Terrible No Good Very Bad Day The Boys Garth Ennis Levels of Geekdom Baul Four What's on Stephe's desk Meeting Mojo and the Predator Better Call Saul See you i...

Originally recorded 6/23/22 Welcome to Herogasm week kids. This week's episode is a bit shorter than usual, owing mainly to Bruce being sickly.  That being the case we still managed to pack a fair amount of stuff into a short period of time. What kind of stuff? Glad you asked.  We discussed: The Boys (comic and television) Ode to Billy Joe (song and movie) Carter Country Matlock (no idea) The USFL...

Originally recorded 6/8/22 After a Robert Urich induced hiatus the boys are back with another episode of SlurpToast goodness. The countdown to SDCC begins in earnest with this episode, but that wasn't all that was discussed. There was also: Stephe still hasn't seen Dr. Strange Ms. Marvel Black Adam Thor Thoughts on things being woke Toxic fandom Glorious Trash Black Samurai The mid-career films of...

Recorded 5/12/22 In this episode, the boys show off a remarkable off-the-cuff knowledge about the career of Robert Uhrich.  It started with a Turk-182 reference and rolled on from there, just like Dan Tanna's Caddy convertible. Sorry, doing it again. Other topics discussed include: Bruce's crazy week Stephe's adventures with multi-factor identification Moon Knight (duh) Living the CPAP life Voir D...

We are 2/3 of the way through the Disney+ Moon Knight series and we've got thoughts...lots and lots of thoughts.  Why do we have so many thoughts about Moon Knight.  Maybe we should spend a whole show on just that. This, however, is not that show. Instead, we talk about things like: Kansas City's Planet ComiCon house painting sooo many shades of white our desire to have Donald Westlake (RIP) write...

It seems like it's all been leading up to this. For 40 episodes we've featured some kind of Moon Knight talk.  Now, your favorite #Moonatics finally get to talk about the new Disney+ show featuring their spirit animal. Oh, but they don't start there. Oh no. They do a deep dive into the comic book origins of the character and then offer some ideas of their own. They also cold call Bruce's son, Conn...

This episode is an example of nepotism at its finest as the boys welcome Bruce's son, Connor, to the podcast, ostensibly to discuss the new Batman movie.   The Batman was discussed as were these topics:   Stephe's recent trip to Florida Thrifty Car Rental Cards Against Humanity Connor's pocasting career Adventures in the ER Moon Knight What's on Your Desk? MCU television Our Tee Public store Paul...

Bruce comes in from an afternoon of day drinking to join Stephe for a very reflective episode of the podcast. When you've been friends this long, sometimes you tell the stories just for yourself and maybe to see if they match up. What stories?  Listen and find out. We also talk about: Parker Jason Statham as Parker Robert Downey, Jr. as Parker Who would actually be a good Parker. Peacemaker ATX Co...

Before the ending was marred by a technical glitch the boys were in top form talking all kinds of pop culture and current event. Like what you may ask? Like this: Joe Rogan Stephe's bout of COVID Eternals Inhumans The Book of Boba Fett Star Wars in general AEW  Selling shit Darwyn Cooke Holidays Reacher James Harden and the power of the beard MEGO Retromania Vintage Toys AEW again Then the glitch...

Episode 37 finds the podcast taking another step forward as we conduct our first interview. Tonight we welcomed John Moorehouse of In Moore House Wrestling to the show. John comes on to talk about his new wrestling related project and all things wrestling.   It's a good time.  You want to listen. After John leaves, we return to more of our usual shenanigans, including: handling unemployment hearin...

The boys are back from the holidays and ring in the new year with an episode that covers a wide range of topics. How wide? I'm glad you asked. How about this list: Hawkeye Spider-Man: No Way Home The Book of Boba Fett The Death of Bob Saget An idea to combine a bunch of holidays Beatles at the Pops Elvis Costello The Magic of Ted Lasso Home Town Japanese Spider-Man Sleep Apnea How Doctor Who has d...
