#380 - Guttershakes Pins, "Any Given Sunday," and A Scary Day For Brad

Oh man. Rough day for ol' Bradley-Bear here. Chuck and I talk about my realistic-but-unfounded fear of my brother dying in a hospital a thousand miles away today. Not a great day for me. Once we process that, we read some emails from pals Abe and Alex. Chuck and I talk about the enamel "Scream" pins from Guttershakes, then playing through Mother Russia Bleeds with Lou and B Lau. Chuck tells me about a fancy dinner he had at Oberlin, I tell him about my misadventures with prophesying. We close with a lengthy discussion of the new TESD Patreon film project, "Any Given Sunday."

#379 - Providence Improv Fest 2018, S*D and Big D in CT, and Eminem's "Kamikaze"

Another comically-long intro this week, as Chuck and I talk about the struggles moving forward in creative careers. For the first time in a while, it's *me* trying to get *Chuck* to look at the bright side! We then go into a recap of the most recent Providence Improv Fest and the great groups I got to see. Chuck tells me about his experiences playing a show with Big D and the Kids Table in Connecticut. Finally, Chuck explains the new Eminem album, Machine Gun Kelly's Diss Track, Eminem's Diss response, Joe Budden's response, and Eminem's lengthy interview! My head is STILL spinning!

#378 - Chuck Films With TESD, Brad's Bidet Misadventure, and American Animals

Chuck and I start out talking about various dumb ailments and my complaints about FedEx and an imagined argument with them, then segue into getting scammed/almost getting scammed. We talk about a local restaurant and our gripe with them, then Chuck talks about an important musical influence reaching out to him to compliment the new album. Chuck then talks about his whirlwind filming expedition with the guys from Tell 'Em Steve-Dave in New Jersey. I follow up with an embarrassing story about installing a bidet kit in my home. We then talk about the relatively-new movie American Animals and how we felt about this genre-bending project.

#377 - The Cranking and Skanking Festival, WBRU Summer Concert Series, and "Searching"

Back in the studio this week. We plug some upcoming shows, then get into movie driplets - the Venom movie MIGHT have Tom Holland show up, Dave Bautista isn't happy with Disney, then a few other things I forgot to write down. After that, we talk about Chuck's band playing the Cranking and Skanking Festival in Worcester with Big D and the Kids Table, the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, the Bouncing Souls, and so many others! From there, Chuck tells me about his band (finally) playing one of the nights on WBRU's Summer Concert Series. We close by talking about the new movie "Searching" and how much we both enjoyed it. Spoiler alert: a lot.
