#389 - The TESD Christmas Special, Brian Setzer Orchestra, and Giving Motivations



We are joined this week by Super Retro Throwback Reviews host Steven Christina, Jr. Things go hilariously off the rails right off the bat and I lose it twice in the first ten minutes. (By "lose it," I mean laugh uncontrollably, not yell at Chuck again.) Chuck tells us about the biopsy on his nose from a few weeks ago - does he have nose cancer? Will he need a Tycho Brahe-like prosthetic? Will anyone get this Tycho Brahe reference? Anyway, Chuck talks about editing the Tell 'Em Steve-Dave Christmas podcast and we discuss positivity and negativity online. We talk about our experience at the Warren tree lighting, then Chuck tells us about his trip to Red Bank to see the Brian Setzer Orchestra. Chuck provides us with a very brief review of the newest Grinch movie. We close with a brief discussion about whether the motivation for giving to charity should impact the giving itself.

#388 - Chuck's Florida Vacation and Sacrifice & Compromise



Gina joins us this week, as she was up close and personal with Chuck's recent Florida vacation. We start with some listener questions and get into a lengthy discussion about The Office. Like...a really lengthy talk. Chuck and Gina then talk about their trip to Florida with Chuck's family. They talk about their adventures in the Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom on the first two days of the trip. They had some magical moments and some less-magical moments. Gina tries to teach us about American History with mixed results. Chuck talks about some of the issues that came up on a long vacation with four generations of family. I talk about throwing my back out helping a friend move.

#387 - RI Comic-Con, Getting Fired By Meat Loaf, and Causing A Bomb Scare



Local comic Ben Smith joins us this week to talk about our upcoming Back To The Future show at the Comedy Connection. We spend a ton of time talking about the new Adam Sandler special on Netflix and (ugh) "The Sandman's" career choices. We tell Ben about the movie Venom, then talk about our trip to see WWE Raw. After some scintillating wrestling talk, we get into our experiences at RI Comic-Con. Interviews with Billy Zane and the kids from It, as well as chats with Richard Dean Anderson and Bill Diamond. We got to host a panel with the delightful Kate Flannery and Creed Bratton from The Office. In addition, Meat Loaf fired us from his panel. Oh, and the bomb squad was called at one point. Chuck closes things out by talking about his recent trip to New Jersey to film with the Tell Em Steve-Dave guys!
