The inaugural Big Slappy Hour was posted way back on Saturday July 11th, 2015 shortly after midnight. Most of the episode was recorded late on the evening of Friday the 10th.. Sitting in Bonk’s sunroom, in front of his computer, we packed a bowl, opened a couple of beers, pressed record and were off and running.

The last (at least for now) Big Slappy Hour was posted to SoundCloud on Saturday July 25th 2020. The recording having been started on Friday the 24th. We sat in Bonk’s sunroom, in front of his computer, packed a bowl, opened a couple of beers and pressed record.

In between those two dates, 180 other episodes were recorded, the vast majority right there in Bonk’s house (or La Casa De Los Bulldogs in the parlance of the show).

Over those five years much has happened in the league, in our lives and in the world. Bonk and I have both retired one player and are in regression with our second. We’ve won cups and lost them. Been nominated for awards and mostly lost them. We’ve grown older, grayer, fatter and yet somehow, are better looking than ever (well, at least I am).

It’s been a hell of a ride.

There are too many people to thank for all the good times and longevity of the show over the years. I’m going to name some, but please understand, if you’re left off, I’m just too stoned, lazy and dumb to get it all right.

Thanks and praise goes

to @Steelhead77 for all the support of the show and us. (And also for all the cans)
to @[.bojo] for taking good natured abuse with such class and humor
to @ztevans for guest hosting more than anyone and especially the conversations after
to @Avakael for the love and guest hosting from another continent
to @mpclardy wherever you are, playing 4d chess, no doubt
to @GCool for all the periodic table lessons
to @Ohtaay for all the eggnog
to @[mike izzy] for the unwavering support
to @Wasty for the tunes and the XFL updates
to @JKortesi81 for showing us what a good podcast sounds like
to @Rich for just being so fucking cool
to @[Alex Mack] for all the questions and awesome media
to @CFJ for the consistency
to @ArGarBarGar for mini-bonanza
to @Leppish for being true blue
to @r1c3bowl22 for the dark humor
to @701 R.I.P. my man
to all our other poddy discord pals, you know who you are and it’s just too many damn names to type

And our sincere thanks to about a hundred others. So, so many of you have contributed to the show in so many ways over the years. We appreciate everyone who ever posted in the questions thread, whether you were asking us something, telling us something, yelling at us, yelling at someone else, telling a joke or whatever. We appreciate everyone who ever listened to even a single episode and decided we weren’t for them. We especially appreciate all of you that have reached out over the years to offer some feedback of any kind. We’ve been feeding off the rest of the SHL’s energy for years like some podcasting parasites.

In closing I would like to personally thank my best friend for roughly thirty four years of friendship and five years of co-hosting. I love my Bonkie Poo.


Cheers to every mother fucking one of you
Cheers
