Today's Toast

Avocado!

Just kidding.

Here’s what our house elf, Artie (not Archie), says about this round:

This round is all about the TV shows that deserved better. Shayne and Jay dive into classics like Police Squad, Firefly, Selfie, Backstrom, and Galavant — all brilliant, all cancelled, all still living rent‑free in their hearts.

They talk about bad time slots, clueless executives, and why smart shows get axed while reality TV multiplies like gremlins after midnight. There’s even a detour into tomato toast, avocado toast, and the official Beer Thursday toast of the night.

If you’ve ever yelled “WHY?!” at your TV after a cancellation, this round is for you.

Well, hey there, you beautiful bunch of rock‑and‑roll wanderers. I was just sitting here polishing my seven‑inch leather heels when you showed up—perfect timing, because we’ve got one last KISS‑tastic round to wrap up this trilogy of face paint, fire breath, and questionable life choices. Grab your beverage of choice and prepare for more facts than Gene Simmons has celebrity ex‑girlfriends.

Here’s what our house elf, Artie (not Archie), says about this round:

In this final KISS round, the guys unleash a whole stack of wild facts—like how Ace Frehley scored the only real solo‑album hit, how Gene Simmons collected celebrity cameos like Pokémon cards, and how Van Halen secretly helped shape early KISS demos. They dig into Destroyer’s 40th anniversary, debate the creepiness of “Christine Sixteen,” and marvel at Paul Stanley’s original version of “God of Thunder.”

There’s trivia, nostalgia, and enough rock‑and‑roll chaos to fill a stadium tour. And yes, someone finally admits they’d rather see a cover band than an AI avatar show. KISS puns, guitar‑hero gossip, and pure Beer Thursday energy all the way through.
