#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!

Episode 224: The Story of Rob Pierce

Our 224th foray into podcasting starts with Gina Mastrostefano providing a cameo appearance! She and Chuck tell the story of parking lot vigilantism; Brad remains unconvinced. After that, local standup comic Rob Pierce joins Chuck and Brad. The three guys talk about the upcoming show at the Comedy Connection and then dive into some movie news, including the announcement regarding Star Wars Theme Parks!
The interview with Rob starts with a thorough discussion of his musical background and covers a lot of territory. The guys make their way around to Rob's comedy career and the challenges and opportunities that come with that. It's a fun look* into the mind of a very funny man.

*- I know podcasts are audio. It's an audio look, okay?

Episode 198: Ghostbusters, Project Almanac and Wrestlemania Predictions

We are joined in episode 198 by Senior Discount bassist Abe Correia and Podcast Pal/Other Band Guy Brian Decoteaux. The episode kicks off with Brian relating a terrible tragedy he experienced in the morning; good laughs are had by all (except Brian). Brad and Chuck promote their upcoming shows, including Senior Discount playing Tuesday, February 10, at DV8 in Providence.
After a quick chat about the below Web Couliers, C tells A, B, and B about some movie news, including information about release windows for the next Paranormal Activity movie and a new chapter in the Ring series. The four bozos talk about the casting of the new Ghostbusters movie and share their opinions, educated and otherwise. They talk about how the entire Wet Hot American Summer cast is coming back for the Netflix series, regardless of its beautiful unlikelihood.
Chuck then chimes in - he won this year's "Royal Rumble" bet, and the winner gets to "change VBW history" - how will he do it? The answer may surprise you! Brad and Chuck discuss the recent film Project Almanac, then Brad talks about the Less Than Jake/Reel Big Fish show he recently attended. They chat about Sunset Overdrive, Chuck talks about the new Saints Row game as well as Dying Light, then shift into mainstream pop culture mode and discuss the ending of the Super Bowl.
Once that is complete, the four stallions set their sights on Wrestlemania and discuss possible matches and storylines we'll see in the months ahead.

Episode 187: Maksood Tales, Chuck Ragan, and a Broken Guitar

Once again, Chuck and Brad are joined by Eric Maksood, in his first appearance as a member of Senior Discount. After introducing the first Web Coulier about Jerry Seinfeld and Wale, conversation turns to the second, as the three idiots discuss NoFX lead singer's interaction with a fan. Chuck drops some movie news on the group, spilling the beans about the forthcoming film Geezer, starring, among others, Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong.
Maksood has some stories after that. He shamelessly brags about taking a young lady's virginity when he was in England, then relays the tale of the time he was in the "American Idol Experience" at Disney World. Maksood is a weird dude.
Chuck and Brad try to run down the events of the past month, beginning with a Rob Zombie movie night. What did they think of House of 1000 Corpses, The Devil's Rejects, and Lords of Salem? A brief mention of the trip to the Roger Williams Zoo Jack-o-Lantern spectacular, then an accounting of Chuck's trip to Brooklyn to see one of the Alkaline Trio discography shows.
Speaking of music, Chuck talks about his experience with Chuck Ragan when they played together at a recent show in West Warwick. Did Chuck Ragan demonstrate the good nature that matches his reputation?*
The music talk hits a sour........note......after that, as Chuck reveals the terrible truth about breaking Maksood's guitar on the day of their very first show together. In fact, a lot of things went wrong at Senior Discount's show with Bad Larry. Find out about all of them!**
Also, we talk about Brad's to North Carolina, and Senior Discount's show in Boston. Whew!

*Yes.

Episode 117: Chuck Staton's High School Journal and the new "Star Trek"

Episode 117 of the C&B PC (as the cool kids call it) opens with C and B (as the nerds call them) discussing the upcoming video game Payday 2, then segue into a discussion on purchasing games for systems that have already had their successors announced.
After that, some entertainment tidbits are covered. Fat Mike will be recording with Against Me! for an unnamed project! Wow! What do Brad and Chuck think about Dan Harmon's return to Community? And what did the boyz think of the new Star Trek movie?
Recently, Chuck found a journal he kept (by the side of the bed) during his senior year of high school and first year after he graduated. Stories he shares through the words of his 17 and 18-year-old self include the story of his first kiss, an almost-hookup, and his first....other experiences with girls. He shares some sad, sexy, and some sexy-yet-sad stories from that time period as well, all described with the grace and restraint of a teenager writing something that's not designed for public consumption. Enjoy!
