Badslant PodcastEp 307 - Bricked UpWhen 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 liste...
2024-09-052h 03Badslant PodcastEp 306 - Solid 3This 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 m...
2024-08-302h 09Badslant PodcastEp 300 – This is BadslantWith 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!!!!
2024-07-182h 03Badslant PodcastEp 271 – It Smells MedievalOur annual holiday show was full of highs and very few lows. We had returning guests and a new face join the fray as we discussed a new wrinkle to the "Who Ruined It" segment and a changing of the guard for the Badslant Parlay King title. Our annual white elephant gift exchange was much more tame than year's past that tugged on our heart strings a bit. Put on your grey beanie, grab a warm beverage, and enjoy. Happy Holidays from the BS crew!
2023-12-291h 49Badslant PodcastEp 258 – Seemingly TitaniumWe celebrate the 6th anniversary of the Badslant Podcast with another episode without AJ. The Iceman and the New Moderator are powered by new Tech and give you their honest reviews of the latest iPhone 15 Pro and Apple Watch Ultra 2. On this week's "Who Ruined It?", the fellas discuss AJ's obsession with a certain NFL team and give their picks for the show's Week 4 group bet. They dive deep into the story that is gripping the nation, TAY + TRAV (Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce rumored relationship). The topics gets saucy with talks of Heinz "Seemingly Ranch" and McDs 2 new...
2023-09-291h 29Badslant PodcastEp 215 - Ice C. U.It's the sequel to the Korean beer episode you didn't know you needed. JJ brings a veritable horn of plenty (of Korean beers that is) for the guys to try. The crew recaps their Halloween festivities and an ominous figure looms large for future episodes of the show. AJ shows his disdain for the once-mighty Halloween movie franchise while giving praise to a potential new classic. Things end on a sour note as the Iceman provides a glimpse into what the Commanders twitter has devolved into. Grab another glass of your favorite Korean malt beverage and listen. Oh, and...
2022-11-031h 53Badslant PodcastEp 211 - Panfish Out of WaterThe 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.
2022-10-061h 54Badslant PodcastEp 204 – Cart BoysIce returns from yet another vacay and AJ takes a much-needed break from the podcast, possibly for good. All jokes aside, The New Moderator took the reins and they were off and running. The new dynamic duo recapped the Iceman's annual summer vacation down to OBX filled with drinks, crabbing, and golf cart boys. A food story (shocker) about the best fried chicken in the country led to the boys convincing themselves another food tournament was a great idea which is probably mid at best. The boys mercifully listened to the Commanders' new fight song and they both decided...
2022-08-182h 00
Badslant PodcastEp 193 - Tastes Like GrandmaFor the first time ever, Dr. Beats and Uncle Phil joined forces to storm the Badslant studios. The duo sat in as the Iceman recounted his birthday week, and much like the occasion, the show went quickly off the rails. There were Malört shots, lengthy intermissions, and hip hop flavored snacks of the spicy kind. There's even a tale of errant urination! Sullied gym clothes notwithstanding, there's a fun little show in this two-plus hour journey. Dress and drink accordingly as you enjoy.
2022-06-012h 22Badslant PodcastEp 191 - Exclusive AccessJJJ bounces back from his mystery illness and brings the heat from the jump. The boys welcome him back with a healthy diet of Mexican Pizzas, celebrity tequila, and Carolina Reaper-tinged Cheetos. Once the heat subsides and the dust settles, the boys discuss how UAPs are now the new new and if it’s too soon to be scared. Later, AJ and the Iceman take turns shaming JJJ for missing out on season one of HBO’s ‘Winning Time’ and the latest (and tragically popular) season of Netflix’s “Bling Empire”. Eventually, the guys shift gears from trashy TV to tech merger...
2022-05-191h 58Badslant PodcastNo FuegoIt’s an up and down week for the gang, particularly the Iceman. On the one hand, the news of Tiger Woods’ return to Augusta should’ve been good enough to carry the Chairman through the week, perhaps the rest of the month. On the other hand, it’ll take more than a washed up old golfer to make Ice and AJ forget their awful dinner date. In lighter news, there’s a Moonshot movie and Moon Knight show, and no one can figure out which one they actually watched. Before long, the guys ejected and went back to what they...
2022-04-071h 58Badslant PodcastEp 183 – Series FinaleSPOILER ALERT: This isn’t the last BS podcast. This week, AJ brings tales from his weekend getaway for Mrs. AJ's birthday. And in the midst of all the outdoorsy fun, the BSPK turned PK God flexes his muscles once more, showing everyone just how (parlay) kings are crowned. Before long, the gambling talk conjures up memories from Vegas trips of yesteryear, and suddenly, plans are in place for a last hurrah in 2023. Elsewhere, the boys call out clout chasers and discuss how everything linked to the flying Tesla video collectively irks them to no end. Finally, the guys discuss Da...
2022-03-241h 53Badslant PodcastEp 166 – Ice Verzuz The HaterzIn honor of Thanksgiving, the guys get a head start on a few time honored holiday traditions. As with most holiday shindigs, the festivities commence with a few seasonally appropriate (read: sugary) beverages to loosen things up, followed by some polite small talk about the topics of the day. (FWIW if you like semi-relevant pop stars from the mid-late 2000s, you're gonna be very happy.) Of course, no holiday can be complete without some unwarranted hostility about topics no one will care about or remember in a week's time. (FWIW if you like arguments about irrelevant rappers from the late 90...
2021-11-241h 32Badslant PodcastEp 142 – ExhibitionIt's a two man show this week, but not the two hosts you would expect, the durable AJ is out this week recovering from his hernia operation. After some last minute audibles Ice and JJ were able to come up with several interesting topics to discuss. Specifically, some unaccounted for and dark horse entries into the Baddest Badslant Chicken Bracket that shook one of the host's world view on life. The boys mercifully went into tangents about old friends, 7-11 reward points, and how Apple will own your health data. Strap on an Apple Watch and grab a cool beverage...
2021-06-111h 33Badslant PodcastEp 131 – 8 Bit JackAnother week, another technical snafu at the very onset. But them's the breaks in the live streaming, podcast game. FWIW, the boys rebounded and took aim at all the latest streaming shows currently breaking the internet. As usual, Marvel came through and crushed the buildings with the premiere of 'Falcon and Winter Soldier'. Shockingly, the DC Comics folk were equal to the task and responded in kind with the Snyder Cut of 'Justice League'. (Spoiler alert: It didn't suck but you wouldn't know it, based on the scores that were given.). Once the shock wore off, the guys indulged their...
2021-03-251h 20Badslant PodcastEp 120 – It Is What It IsNGL ... it was a trying day for the crew and the nation as a whole. The events in and around our nation's capital cast a pall on what should've been an uneventful day on Capital Hill. Be that as it may, what may well have been the gloomiest edition of the Bad Slant podcast gave way to glimmers of hope. There was JJ executing the flex of all flexes as his Adapt 11s found a new home. There were also discussions of a fast food reckoning and an impending condemnation of all things mayo-based. Of course, this week's show could...
2021-01-071h 05Badslant PodcastEp 105 – Absent JohnIt finally happened, Absent John called out and split for the Outer Banks. While he was out gallivanting on the beach and at BBQ joints, it was up to Ice and JJ to ensure everything went smoothly. AJ's absence gave the boys an opportunity to dive deep into nerdy topics that he would otherwise poo poo. Somehow KPOP crept into the conversation and the podcast will never recover. Along with a host of other topics, we think it is worth your time. Grab a warm beverage while you start your day and have a listen.
2020-09-241h 22Badslant PodcastEp 99 – Killer VeeTruth be told, the prospect of episode 100 cast a long shadow on this one but it was a fun show nonetheless. There was the ritual trashing of hosts putting their own self interests ahead of the show, alongside the usual pontificating about Marvel casting missteps. And after the guys quickly poured one out for all the Tik Tok-ers in their time of sorrow, they reminded us that there’s always ONE THING that will unite us and carry us through these dark times: Zac Effron’s FUPA.
2020-08-131h 00Badslant PodcastEp 98 – Ip Man GuyThe special guests have fled for higher ground so it’s back to basics for the BS Three. But no reason to fret, as there is plenty to chew on this week. The guys check in on Young An’s progress as he tries to avoid another dance with elimination from “Tough As Nails”. And as the sands of the hour glass pass, attention turns to some good news out of Hollywood, where some much anticipated blockbusters inch closer to reality. From there, the boys go all the way to space before crash landing on the wildest news this side of Brutu...
2020-08-061h 01Badslant PodcastEp 97 – The Overtime Killa!BONUS SHOW! And shocker: there’s a special guest on this one too. But this time, it’s not just any guest, it’s Young An, one of the stars of CBS’ newest reality show, "Tough As Nails"! The local boy turned reality TV star sat down with the guys to catch ‘em up on how he went from the halls of Annandale High to a career as a firefighter, before eventually stepping up to compete against 11 of the toughest people in the country for a $200K prize. There might’ve been a few minutes of ranting about a certain local footba...
2020-07-311h 01Badslant PodcastEp 96 – HIJACKEDWhat began as an idea amongst ‘management’ became a full blown Tuesday night show, complete with special guests! And two of them at that! Uncle Phil pulled the U-turns of U-turns to re-join the show for one more week. But before the boys could revel in their collective good fortune, they were ‘blessed’ with an unexpected cameo… from the Beertender himself, Liem. You can guess how it went from there. Still a fun one though, complete with birthdays, Taco Bell shenanigans, and suspect tech. Sit back and enjoy the indirect dialog between JJ and his ‘nemesis’. (Spoiler: There’s a lot of it.)
2020-07-291h 08Badslant PodcastEp 95 – Action John: Parlay KingSpecial guest alert! From the wilds of Chicago, Uncle Phil returns to the fray to help the BSBs (Bad Slant Boys) cover a plethora of piñatas, to include: HIMYM, canine sedatives, Tesla sadness, sports bubbles, Sentinels, and VEGASSSS (?). And there’s more, if you can believe it. Place your bets and take a listen.
2020-07-231h 17Badslant PodcastEp 94 – Not RadIt’s a revealing week, to say the least. (And not all of it’s good. You just have to trust us.) AJ takes the show on the road to Ice’s deck and upon arrival, he makes a startling discovery that was nearly two years in the making. Between the commissioned portraits, new wheels, new dogs, and fresh scandals, it’s enough to make you want to just change your name and start over from scratch.
2020-07-171h 11Badslant PodcastEp 93 – Simple JackWhere do we begin? The boys recapped how they celebrated America's independence and waxed poetic about hotdogs, half smokes and Salem 100s. Jeff Fisher weaseled his way into the conversation and it got odd. The conversation pivoted to what a Kimye presidency would look like in 2020, because why not. Elsewhere, Tom Cruise is still crazy, and yet we still can't wait for Top Gun 2. Finally, the boys discussed what a name change to the Washington football team would look like for the DMV.
2020-07-101h 21Badslant PodcastEp 92 – Three FistingGreetings dear listeners, please riddle me this… this week’s Bad Slant pod had not one, but three fists! Instead of the usual fare of drinks fists a double, one of our hosts offered THREE fists of trouble. They ran the gamut from tacos to coffee, before long, one of the guys was begging his friends to ‘just off me’. All was not lost, it could’ve been worst, they could’ve been staring at the inside of a hearse. (RIP Carl Reiner.) Of course, the conversation could’ve been lighter, but this July 4th clearly demanded something much brighter. So sit back, r...
2020-07-031h 14Badslant PodcastEp 91 – Golden StandardContrary to what was said last week, the boys felt it best to keep social distancing protocols in place for a little while longer. But given the current state of affairs around the country, who could blame them? All was not lost though, as the guys adjusted to new normals in personal fitness and Father’s Day celebrations. Before long, they found more light at the end of the tunnel, in the form of shiny new features in macOS and Michael Keaton donning the black rubber cowl one last time. Safe to say, this week’s show was a Top Chef...
2020-06-261h 08Badslant PodcastEp 90 – Chase LungIt's a season of returns, and this week is no different as the Iceman rejoins the fold! The boys waste no time coalescing around the particulars of the NBA's impending return. It's not been a smooth ride to this point (looking at you, Kyrie) but there's a lot to unpack as most of the players prep for life in the bubble. And as the temperatures rise, the guys would be remiss if they didn't touch on the boys of summer. (Of course, whether those boys actually take the field for some meaningful baseball this year is anyone's guess.) But one...
2020-06-191h 05Badslant PodcastEp 89 – YAAAAAS ISLANDIt's the first NOICE episode of the year, and it's up to the two bulls, AJ & JJ, to talk PS5 release details, HBO Max, and UFC Fight Island. (Sidebar: There was a great deal of discussion about the controversy surrounding #VanderpumpRules but a litany of technical issues kept those juicy bits from making it onto the final edit of the podcast. Consider yourselves lucky, Twitchers... at least for one week.) It's a short one this week so listen all the way through, will ya?
2020-06-1241 minBadslant PodcastEp 88 – Top HeavyAs difficult as it may be to navigate these unusual times, you best leave it to the BS boys to be your north star through rough seas and awkward conversations. Of course if you play your cards right, before long, you’ll be walking down a spotless Las Vegas strip, giving action to any and all sports books eager to make up lost ground. And if you’re REALLY lucky, you’ll have a full compliment of sports leagues to throw your hard earned, fully quarantined dollars at. Sounds like a Vietnamese Christmas, if we’re being honest. Feel free to NOT m...
2020-06-051h 17Badslant PodcastEp 87 – Sideshow LiemQuarantine be damned, the boys have made it to a most unique summer birthday season. It’s quite literally a full on, socially distant CELEBRATION… of both the Iceman as well as JJ’s progeny. Of course, you can’t have a birthday party without inadvertently hurting a loved one. The personal interaction can only continue for so long, so the guys seek out all of the sports-centric distractions they can find, i.e. rainy, charity golf and revered legends of boxing and MMA (both past and present).
2020-05-291h 10Badslant PodcastEp 86 – Breaking KayfabeWell no one saw this coming. What should’ve been a pleasant send off for the breakout sports doc of the season turned into an hour of betrayal. The most shocking reveal came courtesy of JJ, as he laid bare his true feelings untoward his greatest ‘adversary’. Elsewhere, the Iceman had the boys calling into question his reverence for the GOAT. And AJ gave up on vodka and the Undertaker. We know… Earth shattering developments. Give it a hear… unless you’ve dropped trou in anticipation of the Snyder Cut next year. In which case, go about your business. (Dork.)
2020-05-221h 04Badslant PodcastEp 85 – The Best AroundThe boys approach the home stretch on “The Last Dance”, as they look back on MJ’s dalliance with the Birmingham Barons with rose-colored glasses. Attention turns to the kindling on Air Jordan’s competitive fire, namely, Labradford Smith’s scoring outburst, Nick Anderson’s thievery, and The Glove’s shutdown. Before long, the guys turn their glare to another G.O.A.T. with an epic, episodic docuseries: the Phenom, the Deadman, the Undertaker. Even if you don’t like sports (or sports entertainment), the discussion gets pretty saucy. Listen in or perish.
2020-05-151h 05Badslant PodcastEp 84 – Go BaddyTBH, the boys do a decent job keeping the show equally entertaining for both the podcast and streaming audiences. That said, this may have been one of the few MUST-SEE editions of the show. For there were poor decisions made, specifically in the realm of hot sauces that should never be consumed separately, let alone in tandem. Listen and judge for yourselves. (But seriously, if Liem says it’s a bad idea, you KNOW it’s bad.)
2020-05-081h 01Badslant PodcastEp 83 – Oh-Ri-Oh!You didn't ask for it but you're totally getting it... it's a socially distanced food tasting! Mr. and Mrs. JJ throw on some facemasks and deliver tasty treats to the Iceman and AJ. (Spoiler alert: arguments ensue.). Confections aside, the guys jump into week 2 of 'The Last Dance' and pay tribute to the real heroes (victims?) of the MJ era: Carmen Electra and the Ehlo family. Eventually, the focus turns to an issue that threatens to further divide an already polarized nation... 'Trolls World Tour'.
2020-05-011h 14Badslant PodcastEp 82 – No One DancedSpoiler: If you’re not into Michael Jordan, nostalgia or sportsy-type things, you can probably sit this week out. Otherwise… SALVATION BE UPON US, GOD BLESS YOU ESPN, NFL, AND MICROSOFT TEAMS. AND CONGRATS BEERTENDER ON YOUR PROGENY. N-E-P-A-L, VIVA NEPAL!
2020-04-241h 11Badslant PodcastEp 81 – Arm BarsQuarantine lesson # 703: Stop picking up new hobbies and projects. Unfortunately for our very own AJ, that was a lesson that had to be learned in the hardest of ways. Once the dust settled and spackling paste dried, there were new football rags and modestly updated cell phones to overanalyze. It’s an action packed, tequila soaked hour so you’ll probably want to grab a chaser and hunker down for this one. Mahalo.
2020-04-171h 09Badslant PodcastEp 80 – The People’s TequilaWhen the going gets tough, the tough drink and bitch incessantly on the internet. The Iceman is back, and he pulls no punches, especially when it comes to homeschooling and luxury electric vehicles. There’s a brief post-mortem for UFC 249 but the guys find some silver linings with news of fresh programming and direct-to-you booze. Strap on a mask and listen like your life depended on it.
2020-04-101h 09Badslant PodcastEp 79 – Darryl TorettoOnce more into the breach! Unfortunately, the on-going quarantine again claims a member of the show (in a totally non-lethal way). This time, it’s the Iceman that succumbs, so it’s up to AJ and JJ to mine through a cornucopia of newly released movies made available for socially distanced viewing. Like any movie discussion Jack’s involved in, the conversation eventually turns to the artistic works of Marky Mark. The brothers J then feebly attempt to find newer and shinier entertainment options from the #UFC and #WWE to fill the time until it’s safe to go outside again.
2020-04-041h 11Badslant PodcastEp 78 – The GallNew week, same ol’ BS (sort of). J.J. rejoins the fold, and the superfriends are back and ready to call out a friend of the show for some old fashioned #hypocrisy. As #Quarantine2020 rolls on, so does Grocery Thunderdome as Ice gives (another) blow-by-blow of his experiences from the front lines… at Costco. Honestly, there was supposed to be more non-COVID talk but there was chicanery afoot. Stop disinfecting and give this a listen.
2020-03-271h 02Badslant PodcastEp 77 – Huge PauseThe (BS) show MUST go on... even if the rest of the world grinds to a halt. J.J. has bigger fish to fry this week so it’s up to A.J. and I.I. (aka Inappropriate Ice) to discuss a tumultuous week of panic buying, teleworking, and home-schooling. Once they’re fully de-sensitized to all things virus-related, they pivot to more important matters, specifically, empty arena wrestling shows hosted by washed up footballers. Let the kids watch Youtube for an hour and take a break w/ your boys. You TOTALLY deserve it.
2020-03-201h 01Badslant PodcastEp 76 – CANCELLEDIt’s the return of the Jack! Unfortunately, the corona continues to rule the day, as #cancelculture finally hits most (if not all) of our hosts’ most beloved of interests: basketball, hockey, football, and large scale events that might’ve kept their kids occupied for at least two hours. There’s much to mourn but as always, there’s some MARVEL-ous light at the end of the tunnel. Seriously, 2021 can’t come fast enough.
2020-03-131h 02Badslant PodcastEp 75 – SkyfallIt’s the first #JackOffEpisode of 2020! JJ has the week off for his birthday so it’s up to the two bulls to calm (or stoke?) fears about the corona (and we ain’t talking about the sun). The guys discuss the side effects of a possible pandemic, both near (at their local Costcos) and far (on the set of the latest 007 flick perhaps). And if that weren’t enough, there’s yet another long-winded dissection about a freeze frame from the new Batman movie, capped off about a rant about moving. (Yes, it was a slow news week. No, it doesn’t...
2020-03-061h 05Badslant PodcastEp 74 – HADO-NO!If you like gluttony, do these guys have the episode for you! What was supposed to be a garden variety, BS pod turned into a cornucopia of homemade eats and unnecessary confections. The boys take turns chewing loudly on mic before testing the latest (and perhaps greatest?) concoction from the Coca Cola co. and mourning the end of membership-free lunches at Costco. Shocker there’s bourbon and rantings about movies as well.
2020-02-281h 08Badslant PodcastEp 73 – Just. Bangers.The #NBAAllStar hangover is real. So much so that the BS boys had to enlist some out-of-town help to make sense of it all. Once the dust settled, the guys peeled through the wreckage of an L SZN of epic proportions (including a multi-million dollar L that might haunt the show for years to come).
2020-02-211h 02Badslant PodcastEp 72 – Bo Hong JoonNothing says love like class warfare portrayed in Korean cinema. On the eve of Valentine’s Day weekend, the boys bask in the afterglow of Parasite’s historic Oscar win and all that it may entail for Asians in movies. After butchering some names and toasting the winners from Hollywood’s biggest night, it’s down to brass tacks, i.e. WHY ISN’T ZACH LAVINE DUNKING THIS YEAR?
2020-02-1459 minBadslant PodcastEp 71 – She My girlThere was plenty to discuss about the week that was… namely, pro foosball championship things, a latin booty battle royale, and ALL OF THE MOVIES. But on this show, nothing supersedes a good fast food tasting. Once more, the guys eat bad food, while one of the hosts eats crow… among other things (apparently).
2020-02-071h 09Badslant PodcastEp 70 – A Rather b.s. weekSuffice it to say… it was all good just a week ago. To say it was a rough few days for parents and sports fans alike would be an incredible understatement. Nonetheless, the Lunar New Year brought a few slivers of light amidst an otherwise somber final week in January. Pro tip: Grab a drink and mourn w/ your boys.
2020-01-311h 06Badslant PodcastEp 69 (nice) – Not CanonIt’s a good week for bad bits. There was another poor song choice, more veiled sexual innuendo, a LOT of half assed sports talk, and plenty of inadvertent first and last names uttered ad nauseum.
2020-01-241h 03Badslant PodcastEp 68 – LevelsThere are definite layers to this one. What started out as an innocuous discussion about the rise and fall (and rise again) of Zack Morris quickly down shifted into a dissection of man vs nature (in the Morbius trailer), man vs man (at UFC 246), and man vs THE MAN (as in ice vs the automotive industry). Spoiler alert: No one wins but it’s a fun listen anyway.
2020-01-171h 13Badslant PodcastEp 67 – Shoe Cleaning C**tIt’s the most wonderful time of the year… no, not the Christmas season but CES SZN! For the boys, it’s ‘No Billy, No Problem’, as they mow through all the biggest tech stories coming out of Las Vegas. Eventually, the focus turns to a CRAZY RICH week for Asians in media… and feelings are felt.
2020-01-101h 08Badslant PodcastEp 66 – Gus FringNew year, new… nothing! It’s a return to form for the #BadSlantBoys in 2020. The unholy triumvirate start a new decade with recaps of the holiday season that was, the first season of the Mandalorian, and the dawn of the #RiverboatRon era in Washington football.
2020-01-031h 05Badslant PodcastEp 65 – Long Jiang SilverThis one got off the rails REAL QUICK. Prominent guests Liem the Bartender and Billy the Tech-xpert are back on the podcast… at the same time! Surprisingly enough, they got along. Unfortunately, it’s all downhill from there. Honestly, this an episode that needs to be heard. Oh, and make sure to rock the vote next week.
2019-12-201h 34Badslant PodcastEp 64 – Bourbon StrangeIt’s trailer SZN! The Holidays bestow a bevy of teasers for 2020’s biggest movies, and the boys have thoughts. The focus turns to holiday consumerism, when Ice sends the boys on a wild bourbon goose chase, and the @sneakersleuth sheds light on upcoming drops from Yeezy and Jordan brand. Then the ghost of Christmas past (fka Ice) reminds everyone why the first BS White Elephant was one to forget.
2019-12-131h 17Badslant PodcastEp 63 – Jony Ive 11sThe tryptophan has finally worn off, and the boys are back in full swing. As the Thanksgiving holiday draws to a close, the guys take stock of all the ill-advised meals, drinks and purchases of the season before pouring one out for an Apple legend. Really, it’s all pretty tame until the chat turns to the Black Widow trailer. You might wanna turn activate ‘SafeSearch’ if we’re being honest.
2019-12-061h 06Badslant PodcastEp 62 – LOOK BACK, BEBIf you don’t like AJ, this may not be the episode for you. The globetrotting theme rolls on, as Mr. and Mrs. AJ recount their journey to thefarthest reaches of Southeast Asia, Bali and Singapore to be exact. There are tumultuous tales of travel, tourist traps, and trolling. Lots of trolling really. You can actually hear it for yourself. Eventually the endless prattling gives way to a subject not touched on in some time: Sneakers. And the resident @sneakersleuth gives a rundown of what to look out for heading into Black Friday and beyond. Have a listen as you pr...
2019-11-271h 10Badslant PodcastEp 61 – Puss in BootsThe holiday travel season is just around the corner so obviously, the boys see fit to share some more stories from the road! This time, it’s the Iceman hitting the highways and byways of this great nation, taking his talents to the Badger state (though if you ask him, it’s the ‘Fried Cheese Curd’ state). Once the dust settles, the guys pivot to the revival of the Motorola razr and the big launch of Disney+. Then things get REALLY spicy. Literally.
2019-11-221h 07Badslant PodcastEp 60 – Potato CowboyThe bad times roll on for AJ as he regales the boys with his tales from the road. The conversation turns toward fast food, and suffice it to say, mistakes were made. And as the local sports talk quiets to a dull roar, the guys can finally get to what they really care about: overpriced tech and Spiderman.
2019-11-141h 02Badslant PodcastEp 59 – Sprungfeld (Remix Edition)WARNING: The audio gods were not kind to the boys this week so prepare for a little static. That said, there’s MUCH to unpack from the week that was, namely, a World Series title, related merchandise, controversy in glassware, and some ill-timed (and ill-fated) travel plans for a certain skin flinting co-host.
2019-11-111h 02Badslant PodcastBest of Badslant (BOB) – Ep 1You didn't ask for it but you are certainly getting it. A Best of Badslant (BOB) Episode - 1! Listen as the boys reminisce about their favorite segments from the past year.
2019-11-0134 minBadslant PodcastEp 58 – HIT THE SWITCHRemember the chaos from last week’s episode? Yeah, it continued this week, even without the Bartender in the fold. AJ fesses up to a massive botch, while Uncle Phil returns to help the principles unpack a wild first two games in the World Series. Honestly, there was more to discuss but the combination of hot sauce and hot takes completely lampooned this episode.
2019-10-251h 12Badslant PodcastEp 57 – The Good AngleThis was one for the books. Phil from Chicago came through and crushed the boys (with beers and malort). Liem the beertender horrified the masses with visions of anatomically correct underwear. The collective did its level best to dissect all the happenings in DC sports, namely, the Nats in the NLCS and Beal committing to a 10-win team for an extra $36 mil. And the boys doused all of this madness with the remnants of a four year old coconut scout. Try this one on for size.
2019-10-181h 11Badslant PodcastEp 56 – Deja VuThe year 2 celebration rolls on… and this time, with a full crew! #JustJack returns to the fray (albeit at a reduced capacity) to help dissect a momentous week in #DCSports. The boys recount a week of late nights with the NLCS-bound #Nats, the latest comings and goings in Ashburn, and the merciful demise of #TeamBadSlant in “La Liga Guillotina”. It’s all fun and games until conversation turns to Joaquin Phoenix’s #Joker, and SOMEONE lets the hot-takes fly.
2019-10-111h 08Badslant PodcastEp 55 – OscillofreakYou didn’t ask for it but you’re getting it anyway… it’s a Jack-Off episode! #JJ takes ill this week, so AJ and Ice are left to tackle the matters of the day, namely, Jedi-level skin flintery, #BadSlantDay shenanigans, DC sports, and your weekly dose of smark
2019-10-041h 10Badslant PodcastEp 54 – Whoop LaIt’s the anniversary show (finally). It features the beertender. There were announcements. And there were lightsabers. Oh, and Pandora and pizza too. Grab a glass, toast your boys and listen in.
2019-09-271h 08Badslant PodcastEp 53 – Hello MuddlerIt’s a weird Wednesday in #EddiesRoom. A scheduling issue forces the boys into the studio a day early but it’s all action from start to finish. AJ breaks down his upcoming weekend in a galaxy far, far away, while the Iceman reveals that he is literally all thumbs. Eventually, the boys put their heads together to solve the mystery of the one year anniversary that (still) wasn’t. And if that weren’t enough, there’s more smark talk, and the introduction of a spicy new feature to the show. Grab a glass of whole milk, pucker up and listen
2019-09-191h 19Badslant PodcastEp 52 – Ice vs FoodSpoiler: This wasn’t the one year anniversary show (that’s next week). But this IS the 52nd episode of the Bad Slant Podcast. And it’s a doozie. Joel from the @FantasyDeportes podcast joined the fray to answer accusations of fantasy chicanery and preview what the 2019 NFL season may have in store. Once the boys dispensed of the sports talk #they got down to the real news of the week #namely #the latest in #chickensandwichtwitter and Ice’s war with all things culinary.
2019-09-131h 07Badslant PodcastEp 51 – Ping Bong BallsThe Death Star is rebuilt and fully operational. Your favorite trio returns to discuss a plethora of pinatas, namely, a fantasy football hosing, an action packed Labor Day weekend, and a smark weekend for the ages.
2019-09-061h 04Badslant PodcastEp 50 – The ‘no show’ showIt’s episode # 50! And to celebrate, the boys shed some dead weight! (We kid. Sort of.) Ice takes a blow this week, and in his absence, AJ and JJ break down all the happenings from D23, the latest on the Matrix 4 and the Breaking Bad movies, and the impending Wednesday Night (Wrestling) War. It actually wasn’t a disaster.
2019-08-301h 07Badslant PodcastEp 49 – The Sour EpisodeWhere to begin. 1) There was a late start. 2) There were guests. 3) There were trading cards, Spiderman talk, and malort. 4) The Chicago beers this week were MUCH better than last week’s array. Listen and soak up the animosity.
2019-08-231h 05Badslant PodcastEp 48 – The Seinfeld EpisodeIt’s an episode about nothing... or everything, if we’re being honest. There’s faux food, spicy food, bad beers, and good beers. Oh, and something that tastes so offensive that it has its own ‘face’. (Seriously, you might wanna check out the youtube stream for that and that alone.)
2019-08-161h 05Badslant PodcastEp 47 – The Lights Went OutShe’s probably somebody’s baby tonight… and she’s probably pissed at how drunk AJ and the Iceman got on Saturday night. Be that as it may, listen to their accounts of an eventful weekend, their eventual recovery, and their differing opinions on TV streaming packages. Oh, and Jack’s there too. If nothing else, he was live this week, in HD, on YouTube. Enjoy his face, please.
2019-08-091h 06Badslant PodcastEp 46 – He YearnsNew week, new lewk! Once the boys get past the strangeness of the new setup, they get down to the nitty gritty, namely: AJ’s birthday week, digestive issues, upheaval in the fast food power rankings, and outrageously hot takes about french fries.
2019-08-0259 minBadslant PodcastEp 45 – Nostalgia KickThe band’s back together! And they’re all ginned up to wax poetic about all things 80s (Stranger Things), 90's (The Lion King remake), and the early 00's (Dem Franchize Boyz, oddly enough). The boys eventually shake off the cheap nostalgic ploys (barely) and go full steam ahead on all the doings from Comic Con 2019. You’re gonna need Doc Brown’s lab coat to escape this episode unscathed. But listen anyway and take your nerd medicine.
2019-07-261h 13Badslant PodcastEp 44 – The Spoiler ShowIt's another #JackOffEpisode! AJ & Ice announce a new affiliate, eat discount tacos, and go full spoiler on the latest season of #StrangerThings. You might say they did just fine without JJ… if only they could run the board.
2019-07-191h 05Badslant PodcastEp 43 – Face TouchIt's a week of newness! After a festive 4th, the boys return for a new show and welcome a new sponsor in the process - 23andme.com! JJ and Ice share their experiences w/ the DNA analysis site and get REAL real. From there, they travel through the latest happenings in NBA free agency before AJ & the Iceman give dueling reviews of Spiderman: Far From Home.
2019-07-121h 05Badslant PodcastEp 42 – Live from Eddie’s RoomIt was a rough week for the Moderator. Ice and JJ give him free reign to blow some steam about a recent tragedy before pivoting to a blockbuster weekend in NBA free agency. Somewhere in there, Casey Kasem provides a moment of levity. Go figure. Happy 4th, everybody!
2019-07-031h 04Badslant PodcastEp 41 – Los Burros HermanosWoody from Toy Story. Keanu Reeves. Jesse in the ABQ. Joey Fatone's "Fat Ones". And Jeff Spicoli. All of these things from the 80s and 90s feature prominently in this week's episode. They totally seemed to make sense in the moment but to be fair, these guys are all REALLY drunk. Listen and don't watch this on YouTube.
2019-06-281h 17Badslant PodcastEp 40 – The Dented RimIt's all recaps, all the time! The fellas recount an action packed Father's Day weekend before turning back the clock and re-living AJ & Ice's day of fun! Of course, it's all fun and games until someone bowls three strikes to steal a win.
2019-06-211h 05Badslant PodcastEp 39 – Duk Dang DongIt’s the inaugural streaming show on youtube! Ice goes back to the 80's for the latest edition of “Ice at the Movies”. The boys re-discover seasonally appropriate beers. Last (and certainly not least), our hosts recap a big week in video games and basketball stuffs.
2019-06-141h 08Badslant PodcastEp 38 – Perzonal PreferenceNew bit alert! Ice goes to the movies in the aptly title segment, "Ice at the movies". The boys then chat about all the latest wares and developments from Cupertino before downshifting into globally-flavored gluttony. Grab a Grand McExtreme Bacon Burger and play along. Link in the bio or search 'badslant' on #ApplePodcasts or Spotify.
2019-06-071h 20Badslant PodcastEp 37 – So. Many. Ls.What's old is new again. Jack finds his way back on the show, and Ice is still wrong about Oreos. The boys recap a disappointing holiday weekend, before seeking out a silver lining... in the shoegame.
2019-05-311h 05Badslant PodcastEp 36 – The Wife’s Watch… Has Ended.As many a talk radio DJ has once said, “There’s a lot to unpack here.” First, Jack’s off (for this week at least). Second, Meesh is in. Third, we finally meet Lady Ice aka Lily. Fourth, we realize a podcast with just these two would be a TERRIBLE mistake. That said, they help us come to grips with the series finale of Game of Thrones. Listen and feel free to disagree. AeJohn Targaryen OUT.
2019-05-241h 20Badslant PodcastEp 35 – Spar with the ModIt's time to go back... WAY BACK... to 1992, when bloody fighting games and comic book trading cards were all the rage (at least to these guys). And if that's not nerdy enough, the boys tap "Mrs. AJ" (aka Meesh) to join the fray and do a deep dive into season 8 of Game of Thrones as the series comes to a merciful end.
2019-05-171h 18Badslant PodcastEp 34 – Stephen A. AustinToday, the boys settle all family business. Liem the beertender returns after a lengthy hiatus and is immediately forced to confront his biggest transgression on the show: buying Jack a cursed Secret Santa gift. Somehow, that confrontation is relatively benign compared to the blowup that arises from an errant hot take on the NBA playoffs. (We really shouldn't do sports. Ever.)
2019-05-101h 03Badslant PodcastEp 33 – The CloudiesWe're in the Endgame now. No, really. Like 90 mins of Avengers Endgame talk. If you love us 3000, you'll listen to all of it.
2019-05-031h 25Badslant PodcastEp 32 – The Family ManWhat was supposed to be an informal after-show chat amongst friends evolved into something so much more. The boys are forced to confront a long simmering issue that threatens to tear at the very fabric of the show. In fact, it's so important that the boys have to enlist some outside help from a certain GoT expert to get to the bottom of it all.
2019-04-251h 08Badslant PodcastEp 31 – Hatin’The treacherous three return to talk Thrones... sort of. The focus eventually shifts to Marvel, as the countdown to “Endgame” comes to a merciful end. It’s all well and good until Jack takes a Tiger-sized cheapshot at golf’s GOAT. The show may never be the same.
2019-04-191h 02Badslant PodcastEp 30 – Rains of CashmereIf you’re excited for the final season of Game of Thrones, you may or may not be as enthused after this episode. Be that as it may, Mrs. A.J. finally makes her long awaited appearance on the podcast to shine a light on all the minute details of the last seven seasons of GoT. What actually transpires is anyone’s guess. Whatever, it was fun. Have a listen. Oh, and always pay your debts.
2019-04-121h 06Badslant PodcastEp 29 – Wrestlemania PreviewIt was supposed to be a 30 minute preview of the biggest weekend in sports entertainment. Supposed to be. But obviously, brevity is not a strong suit for this bunch. The boys beg your indulgences if you have even a passing interest in the world of pro graps.
2019-04-061h 02Badslant PodcastEp 28 – Tim AppleMuch to Ice's delight, the fellas return to unbox a fresh pair of Nike's "Fear of Gods" before tearing into Apple's latest and 'greatest'. And the conversation turns back to Disney and the Avengers quicker than you can say 'Airpods rule'.
2019-04-051h 10Badslant PodcastEp 27 – Small. Asian. My Type.Gang’s all here! And (for better or worse) it’s all Asian John, all the time. The guys discuss AJ’s brush with podcast stardom, en route to a lengthy recap of his jaunt to sights and sounds of the ‘best coast’.
2019-03-2959 minBadslant PodcastEp 26 – Fat GeneTASTING TIMES! They talked about it for weeks but the boys finally got their hands (and mouths) on Taco Bell's new Rattlesnake Fries and Rattlesnake Burrito. (Spoiler alert: It was worth the wait.). Once the heat died down, the regret set in, as the boys chatted all the ways to combat their fast food indulgences. Of course, nothing says 'over indulgence' and 'crapping the bed' like the Washington Redskins so there's some discussion of the local football team as well.
2019-03-211h 08Badslant PodcastEp 25 – Call Blah BlahNew week, new crew! The boys welcome some new blood to discuss another niche sub sect of society: the vinyl figure community. It only gets a little weird before they retreat to the friendly confines of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Excelsior!
2019-03-151h 08Badslant PodcastEp 24 – 15 Minutes of VodkaSpecial guest alert! This week's discussion may be the most controversial to date but luckily, the boys have a local celebrity and subject matter expert to help them navigate the waters. It gets dicey but all's well that ends well, in that... everyone agrees that Bryce Harper sucks. Listen in.
2019-03-081h 07Badslant PodcastEp 23 – Corn SoupTasting time! Jack finds Korean Cheetos and somehow all hell breaks loose. When the Cheeto dust settles, the boys are at odds about nachos and tech. Fortunately, everyone escaped w/ limbs (and credit cards) in tact.
2019-03-011h 21Badslant PodcastEp 22 – Too CloseThe boys are back and ready to recount a disappointing Valentine’s Day weekend (on multiple fronts). There were imposter R&B singers, exploding sneakers, and tales of shoes and woe. Try and keep up.
2019-02-221h 05Badslant PodcastEp 21 – Love JamHappy Valentine's Day! In the spirit of the holiday, the boys discuss their romantic plans before completely derailing into sneaker talk and slow jams. We promise it flows more organically than you think it should. Learn and listen.
2019-02-141h 04Badslant PodcastEp 20 – Such a TeaseQuick turn! On the heels of the Super Bowl and some impending travel, the boys pull a Chinese fire drill and recap the biggest weekend in sports... that wasn't. Of course, there were commercials (sort of), there were movie trailers (I guess), and really not much else. Lemons outta lemonade, folks.
2019-02-071h 02Badslant PodcastEp 19 – Breaking BaconThe boys interrupt your regularly scheduled programming... with bacon! McDonald’s Bacon to be exact. And any new McDonald’s product obviously requires a full and thorough tasting. In addition to the snacks, our hosts tackle Hulu’s dissection of the Fyre Festival to (hopefully) draw the topic to a close. And finally, the team breaks down the biggest story from the Big Game: Adam Levine singing about women.
2019-02-011h 08Badslant PodcastEp 18 – Innovation MasturbationBack to formula! It's an old-fashioned three man show, as the boys eschew 'tech-xperts' and dive head first into the week's biggest tech stories. There's robots! There's fast food! And most importantly... there's fraud! (No matter what Ja Rule would have you believe.)
