Badslant Podcast

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. The post Ep 295 – One Day of Fun appeared first on Badslant Podcast.

The New Mod and The Iceman dive right into the weekend's festivities with a recap of his lovely Saturday with AJ and friends. The dynamic duo dive pivot directly into the XMEN '97 premiere (Spoiler Alert) and how it gives you all the childhood feels. Iceman has questions about the Star Wars Acolyte trailer and the fellas declare the BS Bracket Challenge is on for the BSPK title. The post Ep 283 – Shenanigans appeared first on Badslant Podcast.

It's a gluttonous one this week. Panfish completes another trip around the sun, and the guys celebrate with Northern Virginia’s best cheesesteak (allegedly). In other local news, the boys react to news of Buc-ees creeping ever closer to NOVA. (Spoiler: the responses were positive.) While the boys have yet to see Dune 2, the overwhelming success of the flick may force a group viewing in the very near future. And if that’s not enough, AJ has another update from the week that was in wrestling, to include MORE Hollywood Rock, new NXT ‘talents’, and Sting’s last match. More fun that jumping off a ladder onto a plate glass window. Listen in. The post Ep 281 – Herndon Locals appeared first on Badslant Podcast.

The boys are back, and Panfish takes up a majority of the show summarizing his trip to the "Happiest Place on Earth". There were highs and lows for the trip, so buckle up. After all that, AJ tries to one-up him with his tales of woe, complete with dietary restrictions, a flawed work trip, and a handful of unfortunate events. It's enough to make you wanna grab your Mickey Mouse ears and listen exclusively through the Spotify app! The post Ep 274 – Rope Drop appeared first on Badslant Podcast.

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 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 Bob Barker, who passed at the ripe old age of 99, while waxing poetic about the golden age of game shows. Finally, the guys talk a little football as they ramp up for their first tailgate in years. Grab a proper cinnamon flavored liqueur and hang on the ride. The post Ep 254 – Pimento appeared first on Badslant Podcast.

It only took five weeks but we finally have the first show of 2023 with all three hosts under one roof. AJ takes the opportunity to expound on the worst car buying experience in his lifetime. The boys recover and discuss LeBron James becoming the NBA's all time leading scorer and his rightful place in the pantheon of great players. Ice bamboozles AJ and JJ into making a bad bet for the Big Game. Eventually, they wrap things up with the cultural phenomenon that is HBO's The Last of Us. If you can find any Taco Bell wings, grab an order, slam a beer bong, and have yourself a listen. The post Ep 225 – Both Mids appeared first on Badslant Podcast.

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 breakdown the biggest cheating stories plaguing the worlds of fishing and poker respectively. Grab your finest crystal flute, a bit of the bubbly, and have a listen. The post Ep 211 – Panfish Out of Water appeared first on Badslant Podcast.

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. The post Ep 301 – Facehugger appeared first on Badslant Podcast.

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!!!! The post Ep 300 – This is Badslant appeared first on Badslant Podcast.

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. The post Ep 299 – Bandwidth for Bullsh**t appeared first on Badslant Podcast.

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. The post Ep 298 – Beats Bash appeared first on Badslant Podcast.

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. The post Ep 297 – Damage Control appeared first on Badslant Podcast.

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. The post Ep 296 – Toss Our Nuggs appeared first on Badslant Podcast.

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! The post Ep 294 – The Next Episode appeared first on Badslant Podcast.

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 handwringing 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. The post Ep 293 – Low T Man appeared first on Badslant Podcast.

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. The post Ep 292 – Life Got In The Way appeared first on Badslant Podcast.

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 circulate about the Agatha Harkness show (more specifically its title) . 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.) The post Ep 291 – I Need Another Hit appeared first on Badslant Podcast.

With the X-Men ’97 season finale looming, the guys do their deepest dive yet on the hit series. There’s plenty to discuss, to include the awkward return of Charles Xavier and the untimely end of g-string Magneto. But much of that pales in comparison to episode 9’s shocking final moments, and the boys ponder just how Marvel & co. plan to top themselves next week. Speaking of unexpected beefs, the guys discuss the inescapable phenomenon that is the Kendrick Lamar/Drake beef. And if that weren’t enough, the guys close with specialty potato chips and dart night shenanigans. Pretty sure you can C-walk to this episode. The post Ep 290 – But My Mom… appeared first on Badslant Podcast.

No X-Men watchalong this week but the BS crew give first reactions to the latest episode of X-Men '97, “Tolerance Is Extinction Part 1”, featuring MANY spoilers (this is your warning). Oddly enough, that discussion is almost completely pre-empted by chili crunch and the drama surrounding it. (S/o to Fly by Jing… we see you too, Lao Gan Ma.) Elsewhere, the Iceman and JJ discuss the latest season of Physical 100. They eventually try to convince AJ to at least watch season 1 if for no other reason than the presence of Sexyama. The boys wrap up with a little sports, recapping the local professional football team's draft haul, and paying 'respects' the NBA playoff teams that were gratefully put out of their misery this week. The post Ep 289 – Prime Sentinels appeared first on Badslant Podcast.

Ice is on excursion this week so naturally, things got weird. In the midst of X-Men fever, AJ and JJ host the first BS watchalong for episode 7 of the series. It’s an interesting experiment to say the least. (FWIW, the cue to begin the episode is at the 6 minutes and 35 second mark of this show.) Once the mutant mayhem plays out, the guys touch on the latest Deadpool & Wolverine trailer, which apparently everyone but AJ is dodging like the plague. Of course, the NBA playoffs are in full swing, as is the WNBA pre-season (go figure) so the boys have you covered there as well. And if that weren’t enough, the guys are finally safe to speak honestly and freely about the recent troubles facing America’s tech sweethearts, Apple and Tesla. It’s enough to make you wanna chuck your AR glasses from the window of your runaway EV. The post Ep 288 – Watchalong! appeared first on Badslant Podcast.
