Whatever! You're the Goggins.

The show starts off with bad Back to the Future jokes (88...get it). It only goes up from there.
Stephe spends some time recent work related software issues. Bruce applauds his judicious use of the Road House philosophy in this instance.

Get Your Kohl's Cash and Go Home
(Originally recorded 04-16-25)
Welcome back to another exciting episode of SlurpToast.
Tonight we don't have a theme so we just riff.
We started out talking about Stephe's overly ambitious work anti-virus software.
Then we did a nice long political chunk. Not normally one of topics of conversation, but these aren't normal times.
That led to a brief conversation about crypto and it's striking similarity to pyramid schemes. Bruce discussed Going Infinite by Michael Lewis in connection with crypto chat.
What else?
Daredevil: Born Again (no spoilers)
Bruce's quest to complete the Jason Statham catalog
The Statham vehicle Chaos

It's a Moral Imperative
(Originally recorded 04/02/2025)
Tonight's episode title is our tribute to the late Val Kilmer. It's a line from True Genius and has been one of the operating parameters of our friendship for years.
As discussed last time, we performed a little social experiment on tonight's show. Good to see you, Dave.
Stephe had a lot to say about his week at work. It has been, well, less than stellar.
Bruce discussed the latest Jason Statham offering, A Working Man. Did you know the movie is based on a book by comics legend Chuck Dixon? Neither did Bruce.
What else did we talk about?
Six Sigma'ing
Is Jason Statham a Stallone proxy?
The origin of the action flick "Line Cooks"
Life on a porn crew
Reading business books
Stephe's enjoyment of Pokemon deck breaks
"Steve is Here"
The new Quad City Bandits road logo
The new Oyster Catchers logo (don't look it up)
MLB Opening Day
Potential expansion cities for MLB
We want the New Orleans Voodoo

Bruce is not buying into Kale (there's a reason)
And, of course, we did "What's on Your Desk?"

Natural Selection Hasn't Done It's Job
(Originally recorded 3/18/25)
Tonight's show is jam packed with content, just the way you like it.
We started out touching on:
The potential death of Funko Fundays
The rebirth of the Evel Knievel stunt cycle
Bruce's idea to cross promote the above with Ghost Rider
Bruce's possible kidney stone
Daredevil Born Again
The unbelievable hat design snafu made by MLB
Then the podcast was joined by Bruce's sons who wanted to pitch their idea for a podcast to your humble hosts. It's a decent idea so don't steal it.
Then we got into another round of our favorite follows:
wildhatsofficial
