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 abbreviated 7-episode run would be a bloater-sized understatement. Grab the nearest sawed off golf club you can find and dig into the proceedings.

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 Impossible Tom Cruise, but bearish on Amazon-Prime James Bond. AJ's shares a hard-earned life lesson on wearing your shoes, and the guys close on monster that is begins with P and ends with D*ddy. This episode may not play well in the back of a Tuk Tuk but what do we know.

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 the Commanders' first home game after the NFL schedule release.

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 up with a spoiler-free take on Sinners—because of course they did.

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's already shopping for new gear for the road (new injuries notwithstanding). The guys had a rum night, and things get real picklely. Stay briney, my friends.

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 through episode 8. There's even a little bonus breakdown of the Superman sneak peek from last week. But just as the guys are ready to shut it down, there's a surprise ‘cameo' to bring the episode home. Pour yourself a proper pint and have a listen... but make sure your Ring doorbell camera is ON at all times. You never know who might show up on your doorstep.

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 into the Power Rangers' peak era (hint: it's not Dino Thunder). Buckle up, because this episode is as unpredictable as a roulette spin.

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 ‘controversial' live action Snow White before downshifting to comparatively lighter fair, in Netflix's Adolescence. The guys close with all the MCU hub Bub of the day, talking the Avengers Doomsday cast before getting uber-spoilery with the two-episode drop of Daredevil Born Again.

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 lap for his beloved VCU Rams on the eve of March Madness. It's enough to make you wanna arm wrestle a child in a truck stop diner.

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) as they continue their prep for the upcoming Middleburg 5k. And spoiler alert, it's WAY more painful for some than it is for others. The boys also give first reax to eps 1-3 of the new Daredevil series before concluding with a totally calm, totally not-unhinged exchange on Elon Musk and the state of Tesla. Throw on a vintage Affliction tee, rub a lucky penny for good luck, and listen away.

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 thorough breakdown of John Cena's titanic heel turn. (Honestly, it's not as much wrestling chat as you'd think. Still a big deal though.) Lastly, the guys send thoughts and prayers for Skype as it crosses the tech-rainbow bridge to obsolescence.

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 wrestling, as he takes in a ‘premium live event' in a not-so-premium DC venue. Finally, the boys start mentally preparing to give a certain scandalous chicken wing joint a final send off (orange shorts optional).

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 ever. And in a shocking twist, AJ officially rebrands as a rum guy, complete with imported bottles for tasting. So pour yourself a dram (or a pint), count all the Seinfeld references, and enjoy.

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't happen on the field, but rather at the watch party, where the boys discovered the impossible: not one but TWO decent Eagles fans. But as wild as that sounds, all of that takes a backseat to Ice's real SuperbOwl: the NBA all star weekend.

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 Neighborhood Spider-Man". Oh, and then there's the Luka Doncic trade that may or may not have bent the fabric of reality. In fact, the trade was almost crazy enough to distract the boys from all the news surrounding the Royal Rumble AND the Commanders' offseason plans. Almost.

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 coach, or Tom Holland's new NA beer. Aside from that, there is a great deal of hand wringing about gym etiquette, mall loitering, and deepseek chaos. And if you're not down with all of that, we got one word for ya…

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 you say hell yeah. But if you're not totally into the scene, you'll be amused by the absolute quagmire JJ and Ice went through just to watch this blasted event. And if you think the Commandos being in the NFC championship game means all the boys will have carte blanche to watch unfettered, THINK AGAIN. There's also bonus coverage of the rest of the playoffs, along with five minutes of analysis of the TikToK BaN (which is probably longer than the actual ‘ban' itself).

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 all the football, Ice takes in the newest season of Squid Game and shares his thoughts, while AJ sneaks a peak at the Oscar-buzzy flick, Anora. Finally, it seems Ice's days of doom scrolling on Tiktok are in jeopardy so we ask that you keep him in your thoughts during incredibly difficult time. 

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 game.

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 highlights: Rules are debated ad nauseam, Mälort meets its match, a show mascot is born, only to be retired almost immediately. Oh, and the Beertender is left speechless and offended by his gift. IT'S A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE!

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.) Later, the boys discover that you can in fact tease a teaser, as they discuss the first glimpses of James Gunn's Superman. There's also some ragging on Sony's most recent (and perhaps last?) Spiderman-themed flop. All that, plus an Uber ride for Ice. Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support

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 strategies, the boys try to figure just how in the hell the Hawk Tuah girl went from babyface to the face of fraud in record time. All that, plus a semi-serious discussion on the future of [Corn]hub. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support

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 as well, but really, the Gladiator thing might be the damnedest thing you've ever heard. Listen or risk being turned into shadows and dust. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support

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. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support

Wild one this week with Thanksgiving around the corner. The boys start the holiday feasting a little early. But before they can savor the flavor, Ice pays a hefty price for his most recent sins. Elsewhere, JJ conjures up a new hobby and a new gimmick to annoy us with. But just as the outrage hits its peak, the guys decide to challenge each other instead. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support

AJ's low energy this week, and Jack's Just Jack, but the Iceman has more than enough juice after his trip to the Big Apple. The way he describes it, there were more hits than misses, which is more than we can say about the Chairman's football picks this year. Nonetheless, JJ gives a status update on all bets through four weeks, and the results are probably what you'd expect at this point. Speaking of sports, it's a big weekend for combat sports and yet, the boys aren't quite sure how jazzed they should be. Perhaps if they DO manage to lay eyes on Tyson-Paul or Jones-Miocic, the guys will be posting all about it on Bluesky. Assemble your crew, and listen responsibly. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support

Amidst the political turmoil, the boys try to cope the best way they know how: with lightly carbonated booze and a look at the magic box. But first, Ice and AJ recap their unplanned night out, complete with cold pints of Guinness and bad karaoke. On Election Night, AJ and JJ took in some family-friendly TV, as they review Transformers One and Agatha All Along respectively. For some more mature fare, AJ gives his thoughts on The Substance, starring Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley. Once they're out of shiny new things to enjoy, the guys try to reckon with the political abyss that awaits in the not too distant future. Finally, the boys close it out with some brief Commanders talk, as well as their Week 10 football picks that'll surely test your bankroll (if not your patience). --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support

Really fun, football-centric episode this week. But before the guys can get to all the sports, they have to mukbang the hell out of the viral mango ice cream popping up from coast to coast. From there, it's a full blown breakdown of Bears & Commanders, to include: the prelude (featuring online vitriol), to the viewing experience (not featuring JJ), "the play", and the SUBSTANTIAL aftermath. All that, plus more bad gambling tips from the middest bettors in the game. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support

It's almost Halloween so you know the schedule is out of whack this week. Regardless, the boys are back in studio, and it's a wild one from the jump. Ice gives away his blood for reasons unknown… and he's ok with it? (Of course, when the alternative is a 12th Trunk Or Treat in a row, a little bloodshed doesn't sound so bad.) The Chairman also reviews Agatha All Along series on Disney+, before joining the rest of the guys in reacting to the news about Tom Holland and Spider-Man 4. Of course, it ain't a show without some gambling talk, as the guys offer their Week 8 NFL winners. Finally, the boys close with a ‘dusting' of controversy on the local pizza front. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support

If it feels like it's been a month of Sundays since the last BS mukbang, that's because it has been. To that end, the guys take the new Chicken Big Mac for a spin (and their responses may surprise you). The boys also give the new Oreo Coke Zero a taste but the apparent lack of a full sugar version leaves the boys with more questions than answers. Elsewhere, there are more than few controversies popping up in NFL, and the guys are here for it. Lastly, the BS boys sink their teeth into the chaos surrounding Simu Liu and the ‘new and improved' Bobba drink setting the internet ablaze. Get yourself a sugary mystery drink and have fun with one. It's a doozy. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support

On the heels of a collective no-show, the boys are back for another season… but just barely. Ice nurses his wounds Jinro-style, JJ counts down the minutes until he can go fishing again, and AJ battles the Florida flu (again). There's still a LOT of positive energy around the Commanders, and the boys are not quite sure how to handle it. Fortunately, a certain Final Boss is back to keep the guys distracted, at least for a little while. Combine that with the fiery wreckage that is Joker Folie a Deux, sprinkle on a little New York Jets calamity, and you got ourselves a par-tay. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support

This week, AJ returns while the Iceman barely hangs on. You'd think the excitement from a Commanders' Monday night win would be enough to reinvigorate him but in this instance, you'd be wrong. Nonetheless, the boys take the time to gush over an impressive (if unexpected) performance from JD5 & the 'Manders in Cincy. It's so enthralling that the boys begin kicking around the idea of a second tailgate at the revered NW Stadium. There's more wistful football conjecture outside of the pro realms as well (#GoDukes #marylandfootball). Elsewhere, the guys review the new Thunderbolts trailer before going hard at the new Vince McMahon documentary currently airing on Netflix. It's crazy enough to make you wanna toss out your old Airpods and start fresh with something (marginally) new. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support

AJ is noticeably absent while JJ and the Iceman recap the group's long awaited outing at Northwest Stadium and watching the Washington Commanders. No LVPs were named but a new "That Guy" was annointed. The Iceman and JJ discuss Apple's Glowstick event and what this means for Apple and its devices moving forward. Finally, the boys discuss the entertainment happenings of the day and try to talk about Diddy's arrest but were adorably interrupted by JJ's dog. This episode is worth a listen if you can stomach interruptions and sports talk. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support

It's fortuitous that after last week's unfortunate Beetlejuice reveal, Ice is on the shelf and AJ has a full blown review of the sequel to the 1988 classic. (It's relatively spoiler free but there are tidbits so consider yourself warned.) The boys go down a pretty steep football rabbit hole but with all that happened in week 1 (i.e. arrests, debuts, and burner accounts), can you really blame them? From there, things take a bit of a somber turn, as the boys close with tributes to James Earl Jones and Frankie Beverly, and a few thoughts on the newly reconfigured Linkin Park. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support

When a ‘friend' forces the boys to choose between the podcast and their annual fantasy football draft, the boys choose option C and do both instead. (Granted, it's not the whole draft but who'd want to hear that?) The guys compare squads, exorcise demons, and share a celebratory toast. The football talk doesn't stop there, as the guys prepare for the Week 1 slate as well as their Week 2 tail-date at the unfortunately named Northwest Stadium. Of course, it's all fun and games until the focus turns to the upcoming sequels for Joker and Beetlejuice. (NOTE: If you listen hard enough, you just might hear AJ blow a gasket or three.) --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support

This one is a gong show from start to finish. AJ pays for his sins from last week, with a little assist from ol' Uncle Phil. Ice tries to get defrauded on the internet (not once, not twice, but thrice). He also reaffirms his auspicious taste in film, as he reviews IT ENDS WITH US. Speaking of movies, JJ gives an update on his family's journey through the Fast & Furious franchise, sparking a heated debate on where the movies rank from 10 to 1. There's a little Topgolf and Keith Lee talk thrown in there as well but honestly, this might be a Mälort / Fast & Furious podcast now. Plan accordingly. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support

AJ is obviously still on beach time, as he mangles the audio recording the same way the Iceman mangles his eggs. That aside, it's a fun one, as the boys look back wistfully on the week that was in OBX. There's a LOT of recapping on the booze that was drank and the booze that wasn't. There's a lot of idle talk about sobriety and very little follow through. Hell, there's even the election of a beach MVP and a beach LVP. Of course, it's all fun and games until the focus turns to the Fast & Furious films and the suddenly fledgling Star Wars Cinematic Universe. Have a drink, take a chill pill, and just keep stabbin'. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support

BEACH SHOW! Featuring Olympic talk, a new gimmick for Jack, drinks in the morning, drinks on the links, and even more drinks. (Seriously, this one's a blur. Chase this episode with electrolytes.) --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support

It's a wild one as the boys gear up for their upcoming beach trip. While JJ and Ice plan for beach time fun, AJ just wants everyone out of handcuffs and away from calamity. Speaking of calamity, the boys chat about Elon Musk's growing list of fledgling businesses. From a loss-leading Twitter platform with shadow bans to shoddily built EVs with phony mileage, the headlines are so bad even the Iceman is losing confidence. Somehow, even as the Paris Olympics wind down, the guys are still as invested as ever. They preview the track and field finals and ponder if Alexandria's Noah Lyles was ever a district rival. (Spoiler: he was not.) So pin a number on your chest, press play, and run until your torso crosses the tape. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support

This week, AJ celebrates another year around the sun with some fried foods and funky wines. There's also a little discussion about a sports event emanating out of Paris this year. Somehow, all of that is overshadowed by the opening of Deadpool and Wolverine, and the boys giddily spoil it all. So brush up on your dance moves, put on your white pants, and nerd out with your pals. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support

AJ is back from Germany, and he's loaded with gummy bears and jetlag. (Thanks Crowdstrike.) The boys look ahead to their upcoming trip to OBX and quickly realize they may be in over their heads. Of course, it ain't summer without the MCU so the guys lock in their plans for the Deadpool 3 premiere. But the fun movie talk quickly comes to a halt when Ice gives a status report of his infamous list of must-see movies. Don't lay an egg... have yourself a listen. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support

With AJ off handling some serious biznaz, your dudes JJ (the New Moderator) and the Iceman have got you covered for the 300th episode. They dive into all things adulting—think family trips, lawn care disasters, and eye health updates that'll have you questioning your future. If that wasn't enough, they spill the tea on Tiger Woods' latest drama, review Shogun, question Ingrid Andress' Star-Spangled Banner debacle, and dissect the red guy in the Captain America trailer. THIS… IS… BADSLANT!!!! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support

Ice makes his triumphant return this week. But before he can take a victory lap, he's greeted with a Chicago Penalty Shot and a harsh dose of reality. After the Mälort wears off, Ice gives his review of the JT concert, along with a sneak peak at what the boys can expect when the Batcave 2.0 is unveiled. But just when you think it can't get worse, Ice makes a shocking admission about cinema that damn near stops the show cold (literally). There's some chatter about movie trailers and NBA rights deals but if you're a movie lover, you might want to listen to this one fully seated. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support

Iceman is indisposed this week but our friend, Dr. Beats, is back in studio to fill in. It's the 4th of July but the fireworks get started early, as JJ is greeted by an old friend in Mr. Mälort. Things get real real as Beats shares some personal news that raises more questions than answers. The guys take a moment to salivate over the latest fast food value meal hitting the streets. Finally, the boys round out the show with a little NBA free agency, complete with bad money deals and obvious nepotism. Happy 4th and mind your digits, please. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support

The cohost carousel continues this week, as the Iceman retakes his place atop the throne of absences. Thankfully, JJ is back to keep things moving, and boy does he ever. There's a rather dark (albeit, brief) glimpse at dreams, deep sleep, and post marital mayhem. The boys proceed to the much hyped trial of JJ and his seemingly spur of the moment trek to NYC. From there, it's a quick skim through the latest headlines about the Cybertruck, evil AI, Marvel's return to Hall H, and the imminent demise of the Star Wars universe. Grab some Hooters (wings that is), celebrate all 77 Wizards 1st rd draft picks on this fine evening, and avoid listening to this episode from inside a cheaply made EV. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support

This week, it's JJ turn to take a leave of absence. But fret not, as AJ and the Iceman (with a little help from Mrs. AJ) are able to shoulder the load. They cover a wide range of topicality, to include Wendy's brand new Saucy Nuggs. (Spoiler alert: the nuggs weren't half bad.) Ice shares his thoughts on the much ballyhooed sequel to Pixar's Inside Out, while AJ fawns endlessly over Hit Man's Glen Powell. (Seriously, he can do no wrong.) All that, plus the fallout from JT's DUI. Avoid the Breathalyzer and give this one a listen as you're being driven home safely. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support

AJ returns this week, and he's packing tales from the road. The Moderator found himself in some compromising positions on both sides of the country (no thanks to the Iceman), and he shares his plight from the week that was. Oddly enough, AJ's trials and tribulations pale in comparison with Ice's ‘relaxing' weekend on the links. But before the guys can decide who's trip was worse, they pivot to all the ridiculousness emanating from the Lakers' front office (RIP to the logo). Of course, it ain't June unless there's a WWDC report from Ice, and he does not disappoint. The boys close with a smattering of sports headlines, to include the fate of UFC 303, WWE at UFC Apex, and hot dogs on labor day. Re-install AIM and go (Chest)nuts. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support

AJ was out this week, so JJ and the Iceman stepped in to pick up the slack. The Iceman shared stories from his birthday spa day as they kicked around ideas for their next boys' “Day-of-Fun”! He also introduced the newest summer hit: Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg's Gin and Juice seltzer. Shifting to music, the group discussed Spotify's recent price increases and the comeback of the iconic HFStival. So just chill… to the next episode! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support

Ice is back, and with his birthday approaching, he wastes no time, dropping the hammer on the stresses of home improvement, crappy AI sunglasses, bad sandwich takes. It's not all vitriol though, as JJ furnishes the group with fancy Lays chips from faraway lands to celebrate AANHPI Heritage Month. Then there's the usual hand wringing about Washington Football, with a little Chipotle bashing sprinkled in for good measure. If you're thinking of listening to this episode on your Ray Ban Metas, we strongly suggest otherwise. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support

NOICE? No problem. AJ and JJ call an audible and go full remote this week. And without any X-Men '97 episodes, the fellas are back talking about their other two passions: sports and Malort. They sprinkle in some disdain for LiveNation and what that means for consumers moving forward. It's a condensed show but they cover lots of ground. Hopefully you get to enjoy at your local sports team's brunch event. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support
