#557 - Chuck's Acoustic Return, The Bosstones Split Up, and Jackass Forever

After some joking about our precarious mental health situations, we jump into listener emails. Ernest, the Bosstones, and Boba Fett questions cross our little brains. Chuck talks about his return to the stage and the halcyon days of playing live shows. Chuck talks about his weight loss journey, and about people reaching out when he's going through hard times. He talks about the German restaurant Killmeyer's in New York and the Happy Place Creperie in Warren, Rhode Island. We close with a discussion about Jackass Forever; how much did it tickle us, and where did that tickling take place?

Episode 309: The Story of Bowling For Soup

Wow! I went to Boston, got on a tour bus and interviewed the insanely welcoming Erik Chandler from Bowling For Soup! As we tend to do, we started at the BEGINNING! I went in for the details of how the band started in Wichita Falls, the journey from regular guy to musician, the justification for taking art seriously enough to make it a career, the "Holy Shit!" moments about moving forward, some super-secret tips for bands on how to fund their dreams, a "Back to the Future" reference that DOESN'T come from me, and a whole lot of band dude talk! This was a great time! And without giving anything away, I'm very excited for future stories with BFS.....!!!
