The Sugarbowl

A lighthearted, laid back podcast about the public television classic, Arthur. Eli Gross and Chris Huling laugh their way through the episodes while sharing their perspectives, soaking up the nostalgia, and doing a few goofs and bits here and there. We've also improvised/pitched some of our own episode ideas called "Elwood Extras." No swears here folks, we're keeping it wholesome. New episodes approximately every two weeks!

Francine's Split Decision / Muffy Goes Metropolitan

A pizza toast to a three-day weekend, even if that’s not a true statement when you’re listening. Make sure to use a food probe device (patent pending) before tasting it. You can find them at any old consignment store, right next to the dozens of knockoff copies of that book by a former president businessman.

Cast Away / The Great Sock Mystery

Recording this podcast takes finesse, much like fly fishing. Chris drops some knowledge about drippy adventure gear (not his pants), Eli lands the perfect Leo-based alternative title, and we’ve decided to change the show name to D’Best ArthurP’cast.

Arthur Loses His Marbles / Friday the 13th

Our contractors had some concerns during their inspection of this episode. They found too many inaccurate Oppenheimer references. Also, a complete inability to roll r’s (or l’s or any consonants really). They recommend re-specing into luck to address these problems. Your best bet to find clovers would be that patch of dirt and garbage where the marble players are at. NOW SCATTER!

The Good Sport / Crushed

Three ways to tell if your crush is into you: They grab pizza like a book. They wear funeral clothes to the opera. Their armpit farts kill at the Nobel Awards Presentation.

Rhyme for Your Life / For Whom the Bell Tolls

“Time gets weird, I think it’s been looped. Binky dreams big, and Arthur gets duped. Seinfeld is dangerous, bad for your health. If it’s a mafioso’s birthday, you better share the wealth.” A poem from a 20th century writer you’ve never heard of (but now you have!)

The Boy with His Head in the Clouds / More!

History buffs are in for a TREAT, unless they’re fans of a certain type of economic system that will not be mentioned. Hint: It’s modeled after Monopoly (which Eli won’t play if there are too many rules). Yabba dabba doo!

Muffy's Soccer Shocker / Brother, Can You Spare a Clarinet?

You don’t need to tell us your childhood nickname to listen to this episode, but… it would even the playing field a bit since we both reveal ours. We see Ed in the best light he’s ever been in, and Binky carries out his diabolical “Silence is Golden” master plan.

Arthur Plays the Blues / Buster's Sweet Success

Hello good sir/madam/person! May I interest you in a mouse-watering podcast episode? It’s for a good cause. Our August Rush band got "Whiplash"ed out of college and need new instruments to slap.

The Last of Mary Moo Cow / Bitzi's Beau

Are you familiar with “stocks”? If you know someone who is, please send them our way because Chris invested in some weird stuff like cow cud and Leo Dicaprio masks. Plus, our lawyer turned out to be a stack of three or four 5-year-olds in a business suit. At least this episode is funny (not like Eli’s knock-knock jokes). #Bruhster Send us feedback! sugarbowlpod@gmail.com - @sugarbowlpod facebook.com/SugarbowlPod sugarbowlpod.com RSS: sugarbowlpod.libsyn.com/rss - Artwork: Tori Nelson @ facebook.com/torinelsonart Music: Kurt Statz @ ox4.li/32t

Why don’t you make like a tree and listen to this episode? Uh oh. Looks like there’s a naughty cat up in your branches. Better call it out with “Stern Pet Parent Voice”.

Oh, so you want to listen to an episode of our podcast huh? Well now you have to listen to ALL OF THEM! That’s called good parenting.
