#416 - The Sonic Redesign, The Bash Brothers, and Adult Responsibilities

We start this week by talking about the different genres of podcasts out in the wild. So meta! We plug some upcoming projects including our appearance at the pretzel eating contest this coming June 8th at PVDFest. We then discuss the Sonic the Hedgehog movie and how it's being pushed back due to audience reaction to the trailer. We're pumped for the Between Two Ferns movie. We hit other movie driplets including the Fast and Furious franchise hiring a female writer. Chuck talks about organizing his basement and how happy that makes him. We then discuss The Lonely Island's new special on Netflix and how we feel about it. We close with a brief talk about codependency and other emotional issues.

#415 - Episode 400 Live, Pete Holmes, and the Crunch Cup

Chuck and I are back in the saddle this week! We talk about some emotional au jus in my life and how to chase joy. We wax ecstatic about donuts, then talk about our roles at the 2019 Malted Barley World Pretzel Eating Championship (coming to PVDFest on Saturday, June 8). Chuck reviews the Crunch Cup and sings its praises. Following that, we talk about the behind-the-scenes of our 400th episode, which went down live at the Comedy Connection on May 16. We talk about Tricycle Ice Cream and Chuck tells me about a Pete Holmes book reading he and Gina attended over the weekend. We also wax ecstatic about Pete Holmes and revel in the similarities between me and him. Chuck reviews the restaurant Feast in East Greenwich, RI, then tells me about his trip to WWE Smackdown earlier this week. I give a quick update about my recent past and we're outta here!

#414 (REMASTERED) - Blockbuster Culture, Delicious Burgers, and How Would We Do In Prison?

**This episode has been remastered. The first upload had subpar quality for the ads during the ad swap game, and that has been fixed!**
We are joined this week by Dylan the Intern, which is always a blast. After we plug our upcoming shows, we discuss blockbuster culture and how that affects the future (and present) of cinema. Once we finish up there, we sing the praises of RI Food Fights' Big Burger Blowout. We review the Boundary Brewhouse, The Hungry Goat's Kitchen, and Bucktown. Chuck brags about us finishing the game Rescue Rangers (originally for the NES) this afternoon. Chuck explains the Netflix show "Jailbirds" to me and I am fascinated. We also continue to play the "Ad Swap" game with other podcasts and it remains a ton of fun.

#413 - Serial Killers, Beyond Wrestling, and Straight No Chaser

Just Chuck and I this week! We give some updates about our own comedy lives and Chuck gives us another update on his puppy, Swiss Miss. We answer a listener email (sort of) before Chuck tells me about the Netflix Ted Bundy film (the Zac Efron one). Now I'm interested in it! Chuck confesses his blind spot to serial killers and their stories and I realize I don't know as much as I think I do. Chuck tells me about his trip to see Straight No Chaser to do some acapella. I tell Chuck about my work doing some recording for Beyond Wrestling. After that, Chuck and I play a guessing game with ads for other podcasts and it goes about as well as you'd hope. And we close by discussing the Spider-Man: Far From Home trailer and try and figure out what the movie is going to be.

#412 - Cokie the Clown, Our Comedy Tour Recap, and Avengers: Endgame

Action-packed this week! We are joined by Gina Mastrostefano, Lou Perella, and Abe Correia to discuss a bunch of stuff! We start by recapping our Hartford comedy show from last week and discuss the highs and lows we went through there. After that, we talk about a trip to NYC to see NoFX's lead singer Fat Mike perform a set as his alter-ego Cokie the Clown. How depressing was the set, and how did we feel about it? After that, we talk about the highs and lows of our comedy show in New York, then about the lows and lows of our show in Boston. (Not a typo. Lows AND lows.) After recapping our very busy weekend, we finally discuss our SPOILER-FREE thoughts on Avengers: Endgame. We then make it perfectly clear when we're about to shift into spoiler-full territory and do so, giving our thoughts and feelings on the movie that concludes Marvel's 22-movie "Infinity Saga." Get excited to hear about how much and how often and how hard we cried in the theater!
