BattleBots Beat: Your Midseason Return

Senor Weaselo - April 6, 2023April 6, 2023

Welcome back to the Beat! We've had some time to stretch our legs, so with (we think) five episodes left before the tournament we can see where we stand as everyone finishes their third fights and moves on to their last ones. Let's get to it, shall we? To the

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: The Musician’s Brief Guide to Holy Week

Senor Weaselo - April 5, 2023April 5, 2023

Greetings friends. I'd like you to take this time to be kind to your church musician friends. They're going through the crazy part of the schedule. As this is Holy Week, the one where they've got things all the damn time for the next four days, starting tomorrow. Holy/Maundy Thursday?

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Your BattleBots Beat Bracket Watch

Senor Weaselo - March 29, 2023March 29, 2023

The season starts back up tomorrow because of the midseason Madness break. Because they don't want BattleBots competing with the chaos that has ensued. (FAU? Hooty hoot, motherfuckas!) Anyway, I've been keeping track, fightwise and done my own crib notes. I'd call it Bubble Watch, but ESPN took that. I know

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Lack of Recaps

Senor Weaselo - March 22, 2023March 22, 2023

Okay, I'm gonna do my best to not wax poetic about last night's WBC final and the top of the 9th. But even though you can't predict baseball, Suzyn, sometimes, you can predict baseball, Suzyn. Because we all wanted to see it, and we all could predict it. That, Jeter's

BattleBots Beat: Gibson’s Law

Welcome back to the Beat! Well, last week we got the fight that I'm pencilling in as Letdown of the Year. May we get the true hammer-saw battle someday soon. We get something entirely different to start here. To the fights! Riptide vs. Captain ShrederatorRiptide: 2-0 (W, KO 0:47 vs. Glitch;

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: QAARON’S QAVE WATQH

Senor Weaselo - March 15, 2023March 15, 2023

Man, am I gonna look dumb if he makes a decision between now (it is 11:12 Eastern) and when this goes up. But anyway, the NFL world continues to wait on Aaron Rodgers, who's come out of his darkness retreat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ojczn6rfvY RIP Charlie Murphy and Rick James. and didn't specifically say anything about

BattleBots Beat: Bold Strategies

Senor Weaselo - March 9, 2023March 9, 2023

Welcome back to the Beat! Last week, we had some of the mirror matches. Not all of them, we got one more. Also, there's something we've never seen before, and something we saw two years ago but hey, maybe it'll be different? To the fights! Gruff vs. Witch DoctorGruff: 1-1 (W,

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Quarantine Buddies!

Senor Weaselo - March 8, 2023March 8, 2023

No fun facts about music and stuff this week. The big thing at Apartment Weaselo is that Senorita Weaselo's staying the next few days, for the most part. Her family's getting hit with covid. She's fine because she's in the basement, but it means she can't come up for food.

BattleBots Beat: Family Affair

Senor Weaselo - March 2, 2023March 1, 2023

Welcome back to the Beat! Last time out we had a Fight of the Year candidate for a Main Event and KO of the Year candidate somewhere in the middle. We don't quite have those, but we do have stables fighting tonight, as both Team Whyachi bots appear, and both

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Video Game Soundtrack Dives (& Knuckles)

Senor Weaselo - March 1, 2023March 1, 2023

A little bit of video game music trivia from two of my favorite game series for tonight's listening pleasure. First, we go to the early '90s for one of the big mascots, and maybe the crowning jewel of the series, or half of the crowning jewel, whether you consider the

BattleBots Beat: A Less Controversial Grudge Match

Senor Weaselo - February 23, 2023February 22, 2023

Welcome back to the Beat! Last time out we had, bar none, your upset of the year. Fair play though, and OYES Robotics have got a commemorative shirt to… mark the occasion. The next shirt I'll get is still the HyperShock "Suck Less" shirt. That's legendary. Anyway, we can't possibly have

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: A Guide to Tombeau

Senor Weaselo - February 22, 2023February 22, 2023

Today is Ash Wednesday, which means absolutely nothing in the DFO lexicon in our infinite unwashed massitude. BLEERGH knows no Ash Wednesday and Boltman's Ash Wednesday is just called Wednesday. Actually, there's no distinction in the day of the week and the ashes of burnt femurs, all days are equal
