Badslant Podcast

Fall is here, which means two things: the Iceman's first seasonal sick day and a throwback remote show. After battling the usual tech hiccups (and AJ's absence), the boys recap the Commanders' annual first home game tailgate, what went right, what went sideways, and who may have lost the battle to too many drinks. They close things out with takes on Apple's "Awe Dropping" event and what's next for the company, all before the Nyquil kicks in.

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.

The guys finally reach the end of a wild first season of X-Men ’97. Whether the finale lives up to the hype is another story. The boys provide a full recap of the final clash between Xavier’s X-Men, Mags, and Big Bad Bastion, while warily looking into the X-future. The fate of the mutants wasn’t the only MCU headline this week, as rumors about the Agatha Harkness show (specifically its title) began to circulate. There’s also a bit of pro basketball talk to whet your sports whistle. So put on your best draft day hat, summon the dark phoenix from within, and enjoy. (Just make sure your mom isn’t stuck researching spiders in the Amazon.)

For the first time in a long time, the boys are back in Studio A! On this momentous occasion, the Iceman and JJ brought snacks and beverages to sample on the show. Logically, the conversation devolves into a heated debate about proper expectations at fast casual restaurants. All three hosts finally get around to sharing their thoughts about XMen '97 (with a few spoilers sprinkled in along the way). And after all is said and done, AJ gives his final report on the Road to Wrestlemania, on the eve of the marathon weekend. Grab a sweet treat and have a listen…just not TOO SWEET.

It's a lively one this week, complete with raspberry slander and conflicting views on artificial watermelon flavoring. Yack is back, and he's got a sack full... of Korean movie reviews. Things literally turn to sh*t when the guys discuss the Hyrox Beijing mess that continues to grow hair. They pivot hard to discuss their upcoming Richmond running plans and what they can expect come race day. With muted expectations, the Iceman and AJ recap their Puto get together from Week 1 of the NFL season. And they round out the episode lamenting the renders of the Commanders' new stadium and the waning days of their tailgate tradition. Seems like they discussed a lot but not really.
