#520 - Chuck's Road Rage, Getting Spite Spiced, and Frank Five Day

We start out this episode discussing a near-collision while Chuck was driving. Thankfully, he avoided damage, but were his actions following the incident warranted? We talk about the plan to re-release the TESD Town History episode before Chuck's TESD Tapes Debut on the TESD Patreon. We discuss couch shopping and getting the stench of spoiled(?) milk out of Chuck's car (this is unrelated to his precision driving mentioned previously). We went out to eat and Chuck sent food back and his new entree was significantly spicier - did he get "spite spiced" by the kitchen? A brief chat about Falcon and the Winter Soldier, I briefly review The New Mutants, Tenet, and Birds of Prey. Chuck then regales me with tales of his trip to Jersey for the Tell Em Steve-Dave celebration known as Frank Five Day!

#517 - Parking Morality, Fast Food Innovations, and More Appreciation For Borat

I botch our intro, but Chuck saves the day with a lengthy aside. We discuss the morality of parking in reserved parking spaces after-hours. We go through some listener emails and talk about the future of the pod, new media, merch, then get off on a tangent about fast food. It is a lengthy tangent. We talk about the trailer for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Vin Diesel's Rock 'Em Sock'Em Robots project, and Chuck tells me about a bunch of behind-the-scenes stuff from Borat 2. We close with a discussion of Chuck's recent Jersey trip and filming with the TESD guys.

#458 - Chuck's Behind-The-Scenes Look at Independent Filmmaking

Sure, sure, we mention COVID-19 to start (and I'm including it here for SEO purposes), but the meat, potatoes, AND dessert of the episode is Chuck giving the lowdown on his gig filming for the podcast Tell 'Em Steve-Dave. We give background on the podcast, how Chuck got involved, and then Chuck relates the story of his most recent trip to Jersey to film with the guys. There are absolutely ZERO spoilers in this episode for TESD projects - but Chuck DOES tell an amazing door about an intoxicated gentleman causing havoc in a chicken restaurant (not related to filming), so there's that. A fun look at what REALLY goes on for Chuck's work!
