History[edit]

After the closure of Spill.com in 2013, Korey Coleman was encouraged by friends and fans to create a Kickstarter campaign to fund a new home for his content.


The original goal was set at $30,000. During the campaign, Coleman and Martin Thomas continued to podcast and update fans on the growing total. On the last night, they held a 24-hour live stream with guests and fans stopping by for support. At the end of the stream, the final amount given was $133,860.


As a result, doubletoasted.com was created, and launched on July 2, 2014.[2]


On October 17, 2019, in a video posted on the site's YouTube page, it was announced that Double Toasted would move to Twitch in November, in a deal that would have the site's main shows move to the platform, with the exception of other content, that would continue to be on the site.

Former shows[edit]

The Casual Call-In Show[edit]

Korey Coleman, Danielle Dallaire and Ray Villarreal answered fan questions through phone calls, Skype and emails. The show was initially released every Monday, but ceased in February 2017 due to low viewership.

The Spoiler Show[edit]

William Valle discussed movies in depth. Korey Coleman was featured as a guest, but after one episode, which was heavily criticized, the show was immediately terminated.

The Double Dribble[edit]

Ray Villareal and co-host Chase Arthur discussed sports and other extracurricular activities in a free-form discussion. The show was canceled in June 2017 when Chase left the site and Ray chose not to continue it. Special guest includes:

Tommy McGrew – The first regular co-host to be added to the show after the closing of Spill.com. McGrew has not appeared on the site since 2016 when he was involved in a fatal hit and run accident, killing a pedestrian. Despite being a "hit and run," Tommy did eventually return to the scene later to realized he had hit a person and not an animal (as he originally thought). Besides the initial update to Tommy's situation in mid 2016, Korey Coleman, and the rest of the Double Toasted crew have refrained from mentioning his name on the site, similar to the with Chris Benoit. Korey has stated only once, after getting many emails about Tommy's return to the site, that the chances of McGrew returning to the site is highly unlikely.[30] However, Tommy made a surprise appearance on a February 2019 show where he revealed that he did not get any jail time, but is on probation for ten years and had to seek therapy to help cope with the fact that he killed someone. He says that after 10 years of good behavior, he will be given a clean slate. He has expressed interest in returning,[31] but Korey confirmed that it would be impossible for things to go back to the way it was.[32]
