The Sugarbowl

by Eli Gross & Chris Huling

A lighthearted, laid back podcast about the public television classic, Arthur. Eli Gross and Chris Huling laugh their way through the episodes while sharing their perspectives, soaking up the nostalgia, and doing a few goofs and bits here and there. We've also improvised/pitched some of our own episode ideas called "Elwood Extras." No swears here folks, we're keeping it wholesome. New episodes approximately every two weeks!Artwork by Tori NelsonIntro music from Arthur, performed by Ziggy Marley and The Melody MakersOther music by Kurt Statz

Episodes

  1. Francine's Split Decision / Muffy Goes Metropolitan

    A pizza toast to a three-day weekend, even if that's not a true statement when you're listening. Make sure to use a food probe device (patent pending) before tasting it. You can find them at any old consignment store, right next to the dozens of knockoff copies of that book by a former president...

  2. Cast Away / The Great Sock Mystery

    Recording this podcast takes finesse, much like fly fishing. Chris drops some knowledge about drippy adventure gear (not his pants), Eli lands the perfect Leo-based alternative title, and we've decided to change the show name to D'Best ArthurP'cast. Send us feedback! [email protected] -...

  3. Arthur Loses His Marbles / Friday the 13th

    Our contractors had some concerns during their inspection of this episode. They found too many inaccurate Oppenheimer references. Also, a complete inability to roll r's (or l's or any consonants really). They recommend re-specing into luck to address these problems. Your best bet to find clovers...

  4. The Good Sport / Crushed

    Three ways to tell if your crush is into you: They grab pizza like a book. They wear funeral clothes to the opera. Their armpit farts kill at the Nobel Awards Presentation. Send us feedback! [email protected] - @sugarbowlpod facebook.com/SugarbowlPod sugarbowlpod.com RSS:...

  5. Rhyme for Your Life / For Whom the Bell Tolls

    "Time gets weird, I think it's been looped. Binky dreams big, and Arthur gets duped. Seinfeld is dangerous, bad for your health. If it's a mafioso's birthday, you better share the wealth." A poem from a 20th century writer you've never heard of (but now you have!) Send us feedback!...

  6. The Boy with His Head in the Clouds / More!

    History buffs are in for a TREAT, unless they're fans of a certain type of economic system that will not be mentioned. Hint: It's modeled after Monopoly (which Eli won't play if there are too many rules). Yabba dabba doo! Send us feedback! [email protected] - @sugarbowlpod...

  7. Citizen Frensky / D.W.'s Backpack Mishap

    Your top headlines this week: "America's Horn Shortage: Fact or Fiction?" "Horses Hoof it out of Elwood to Erie" "Bitzi's Beau No Mo Fo Sho" and "Top Ten Thangs to Protect Those Fangs" Send us feedback! [email protected] - @sugarbowlpod facebook.com/SugarbowlPod sugarbowlpod.com RSS:...

  8. The Boy Who Cried Comet / Arthur and Los Vecinos

    You're traveling through another dimension…one where bicycle helmets are a cultural taboo. Where apology videos no longer cut it. And everyone's neighbor teaches life lessons the hard way. Your destination? The Sugarbowl eerie music cue Send us feedback! [email protected] - @sugarbowlpod...

  9. Muffy's Soccer Shocker / Brother, Can You Spare a Clarinet?

    You don't need to tell us your childhood nickname to listen to this episode, but… it would even the playing field a bit since we both reveal ours. We see Ed in the best light he's ever been in, and Binky carries out his diabolical "Silence is Golden" master plan. Send us feedback!...

  10. Prunella's Special Edition / The Secret Life of Dogs and Babies

    We hope you've got your magical hoods over your normal clothes, because it's about to get mystical up in here. Join Eli on his "Independent Studies" or Chris for "Passable Impressions 101". But whatever you do, do not feed the Sorting Sow lippy bacon. Send us feedback! [email protected] -...

  11. Arthur Plays the Blues / Buster's Sweet Success

    Hello good sir/madam/person! May I interest you in a mouse-watering podcast episode? It's for a good cause. Our August Rush band got "Whiplash"ed out of college and need new instruments to slap. We followed the podcast recipe EXACTLY, so if hives show up on your skin, it's unrelated. Send us...

  12. Sue Ellen Gets Her Goose Cooked / Best of the Nest

    Honk! That's goose for, "What have you got in your pockets? Fleshy hand tongs? Rustling bushes? Unorganized forks from the dishwasher? Those will all fetch you a pretty penny at the evil pawn shop." Honk. Send us feedback! [email protected] - @sugarbowlpod facebook.com/SugarbowlPod...

  13. BONUS: Official Arthur Podcast discussion with Elwood City Limits!

    The internet's favorite Arthur Heads unite for this special collab episode with Will of Elwood City Limits! With the new official Arthur pod coming out, we had to get together and share our thoughts. We hope you enjoy it; it was a blast to record! A HUGE thank you to Will for inviting us; we're...

  14. Arthur's Family Feud / Muffy Gets Mature

    We'll let you leave the podcast once your plate is clean. Just kidding, you can eat what you want…even your own grandma! Speaking of grandparents, be nice to them. You don't want to be too late and have to use a ouija board (NOT RECOMMENDED BY THE AMBIGUOUS WITCH COUNSEL) Send us feedback!...

  15. Just Desserts / The Big Dig

    We'll let you leave the podcast once your plate is clean. Just kidding, you can eat what you want…even your own grandma! Speaking of grandparents, be nice to them. You don't want to be too late and have to use a ouija board (NOT RECOMMENDED BY THE AMBIGUOUS WITCH COUNSEL.) Send us feedback!...

  16. The Last of Mary Moo Cow / Bitzi's Beau

    Are you familiar with "stocks"? If you know someone who is, please send them our way because Chris invested in some weird stuff like cow cud and Leo Dicaprio masks. Plus, our lawyer turned out to be a stack of three or four 5-year-olds in a business suit. At least this episode is funny (not like...

  17. Sleep No More / Pet Peeved

    Why don't you make like a tree and listen to this episode? Uh oh. Looks like there's a naughty cat up in your branches. Better call it out with "Stern Pet Parent Voice". If the cat breaks a branch, just move the pain somewhere else! Maybe to Tim Allen! Use code "SUGARBOSE" at checkout. Send us...

  18. The Election / Francine Goes to War

    If we are elected as podcast presidents, we promise to do the following: A personal alarm DJ for every citizen! A creepy groundskeeper for every haunted house! And of course…Pizza Fridays nationwide (not including Alaska, Hawaii, and island territories.) Send us feedback! [email protected] -...

  19. The Lousey Week / You Are Arthur

    You are becoming Chris and Eli… What should we put in the description? The ostrich-sized chimps were a great bit. Maybe sprinkle in the Crosswire Lore Dump and combine it with crabs? Whatever we pick will be fine, it'll be a treat for a very particular kind of listener who reads these! Okay, now...

  20. The World Record / The Cave

    Oh, so you want to listen to an episode of our podcast huh? Well now you have to listen to ALL OF THEM! That's called good parenting. We don't want to do a bad job and get called out by literally everyone on the street. We'd be trash, like Thomas Edison's reputation! Send us feedback!...

  21. It's a No-Brainer / The Shore Thing

    This one goes out to all the comedians out there, even though you can't read this description. We didn't mean for this episode to be a Des Moines Travel Guide, but Aqualand and Adventureland paid us BIG MONIES. Before you visit though, make sure to get your check-up from the IQ doctor and pair up...

  22. Kids Are From Earth, Parents Are From Pluto / Nerves of Steal

    Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to mourn the loss of two dads, taken too soon due to embarrassing their kids. And thanks to Chili's Too for catering this event. We tried cooking it ourselves but we broke down in the produce section when no one was there to explain. Send us feedback!...

  23. Arthur and the Big Riddle / Double Dare

    We like to think each of our episodes are layered with great content, divinely inspired. There's a right way to listen, and then there's Chris's way. Special thanks to bivalves of all shapes and sizes, underutilized set designers, and the Brain's mastermind plan peeking out from the bushes. Send…

  24. My Music Rules / That's a Baby Show!

    Yo mama is so good at playing the cello…wait I think I misspelled something. How embarrassing, that made my face red, man. B-side includes: The four stores your town needs (and Mr. Morris cleans them all), getting called out by inept store clerks, and fiddle diddy dark bunny backpacks. Quack,...

  25. What is that Thing? / Buster's Best Behavior

    Hiya kid! This episode is down here in the sewer, with me! Come on in, we've got piles of Chris clones, fan scripts for Supernatural villains, and Midwesterners talking about the weather. Oh, you have to get your car washed at church? Well, maybe another time then. Send us feedback!...

  26. 1001 Dads / Prunella's Prediction

    Cozy up next to the fire for another episode. Who started it? Not Caveman Arthur, surely! Even if it gets out of hand, Superman will just reverse time and save the day. Just remember to pick the right side when the Clown War comes a calling (and book a Craigslist dad for more muscle). Send us...

  27. Binky Barnes, Wingman / To Beat or Not to Beat

    If you kids wanna get to the roof, you're gonna have to do me a few favors: One: Stop the Phil Collins wannabe screaming up there Two: Take my karate robe to the dry cleaner Three: Pick up some generic chips for a BBQ I'm going to later today Four: Solve this train puzzle - Send us feedback!...

  28. D.W. Tale Spins / Prunella Gets It Twice

    Enough about the ship in the Odyssey, how about the Dave and Thora ship? We have indisputable proof. It's safely tucked away in the face of our Polly Locket. If that's not enough to excite you, then maybe the presumed end of the Tibble Twins or the promise of an EPIC Eli fumble will get you…

  29. The Blizzard / The Rat Who Came to Dinner

    Would you kindly listen to this episode of The Sugarbowl? Get in a heap with your whole town and be blown away by revelations like "Mom's Tax Empire", "Lewis & Clark 2: Thomas's Many Bluffs", and "Ratburn's Long Cake Con." You can trust us, we got our doctorate from a spirit board, just like Dr....

  30. The Contest / Prove It

    This episode will really put your noodle through the wringer if you let it; so keep your sci-fi director on speed dial in case you need some explanations. DO NOT DIAL DW THOUGH, she's on a crazy fake-news kick right now... Only the one TRUE 90s kid will catch all the references. Are you them?…

    more
  31. Buster's Breathless / The Fright Stuff

    You may need to find your closest homie and grab their hand for this episode. And make sure you use ALL your fingers to keep that grasp strong! We talk about DARE's unpopular attack on diseases, the prevalence of space prayer in Star Trek, and how pranks ought to be pulled. All this and more on…

    more
  32. Hide and Snake / Muffy's New Best Friend

    Remember that nursery rhyme about snake assassins? If it's in the chaff, grab that staff. If it's not... DON'T TOUCH IT. Enjoy our ideas on OT vampire hunters, our unique solution to political strife, and our constant love and affection for Barnes, secret agent and yo-yo master. Send us feedback!...

  33. D.W.'s Library Card / Arthur's Big Hit

    You can stop scrolling: This is it. The undisputed, Best Podcast Episode Ever. Chris objectively confirmed our talent live on the episode. He even made a banner, but kinda ran out of room... If that somehow isn't enough, you'll also be treated to dental schemes, Beat.Hoofen, and the conflict-free...

  34. Arthur and D.W. Clean Up / The Long, Dull Winter

    Tick tock, listeners. This episode won't last forever. You'll eventually have to sign on the dotted line that you like this podcast. Oh, and help yourself to some jump-pit sand and a Little Debbie. We'll call it a "signing bonus" (maniacal laugh) Send us feedback! [email protected] -...

  35. Mom and Dad Have a Great Big Fight / D.W.'s Perfect Wish

    Chris! Chris!! Is he still asleep? I think Leo has a hold of him… Well, while he's out, let me tell you I HAVE SEEN A BUG'S LIFE. Maybe. Oof, running out of characters for the description here… WELP! (We'd put more in this description but we're out on the porch, avoiding it as long as possible.)...

  36. Arthur's Dummy Disaster / Francine and the Feline

    Arthur hated cats. Eli hated pop music. Chris hated that last scene in Toy Story 3 (you know the one). But we all changed our minds! So don't be an Artie, be a PERFECT CIRCLE. - Send us feedback! [email protected] - @sugarbowlpod facebook.com/SugarbowlPod sugarbowlpod.com RSS:...

  37. What Scared Sue Ellen? / Clarissa is Cracked

    If you ended up plugging your ears like we (clearly) rhetorically asked, here's a quick summary: April fools olympics, wrestling vs "wrestling," the nightmarish anxiety of waiting, a world with no personal space boundaries, Eli gets overruled in Monsters Inc court, Load Bearing Hutch. Check out...

  38. Double Tibble Trouble / Arthur's Almost Live Not Real Music Festival

  41. Popular Girls / Buster's Growing Grudge

    Are you a true Sugarbowler? Only a pen-and-paper tabloid quiz could reveal the answer!

  42. Arthur Rides the Bandwagon / Dad's Dessert Dilemma

    We are going to come out and say it: Caillou fans may not want to listen to this episode.

To all our listeners, keep putting those pans on...

  43. Binky Rules / Meet Binky

    Go ahead and widen those hearholes to catch this fastball of a story, eh gumshoe? This new band… "Binky"... its a crab racket if I ever saw one! That's not the only tall tale I've got; Mr Morris is a real sweetheart, VW bugs look like… something, and Eli's title gimmick refuses to push up…

  47. Arthur Goes Crosswire / Sue Ellen and the Brainasaurous

    The content of this episode is TRULY un-describeable. The inevitable crash course we were on with the film Osmosis Jones finally comes to a head, we get some shade going on Pomeranians, and we have a deep, DEEP discussion that honestly rivals Jaden Smith's entire Twitter career. BONUS EP NEXT…
