Episode 240 - Krampus, The Night Before, and Cookie Judging

Episode 240 starts out festively enough, with Brad reading a letter he received from Santa Claus. (NSFW) From there, C&B discuss the below Web Couliers before a movie driplet about the "Alien" universe. The guys recently went to see the R-rated Christmas Comedy The Night Before and share their thoughts on that, then talk about the Christmas horror film Krampus. Was Brad scared out of his mind?!?! (yes) Chuck talks about an expansion for the video game Dying Light, then talks about the (admittedly-dated) news that T-Mobile is offering video streaming that doesn't count against a data plan.
The guys shift into recap mode next - Chuck tells the story of the Benefit Show Creep, then provides an update on the situation involving his house fire aftermath. They talk about the new Disney/Pixar movie The Good Dinosaur, then a recent trip to see the acapella group Straight No Chaser.
The podcast closes with the guys gleefully talking about judging the RI Food Fights Spectacular Cookie Smackdown and how Brad almost got wasted.

Episode 196: Wrestling Rumbles, Microsoft HoloLens, and Our Understanding of the Geneva Conventions

Episode 196 starts out with some shenanigans, as Brad marvels as to how he can think trivial issues at work amuse him now when they would have annoyed him to no end a few short months ago. From there, it's SkyPunch! and Senior Discount updates, as the guys advertise some upcoming shows. After discussion of the below Web Couliers, there's a tiny dose of movie news about "American Sniper," which of course leads to Chuck and Brad discussing the rules of modern warfare. Listening to Brad try an explain the Geneva Conventions (which he barely understands) is high comedy.
More movie news, as the guys talk about the World War Z sequel, the good-natured Superbowl bet between Chris Evans and Chris Pratt, and the reveal of the new snack "Sweet-O's." Chuck laments not being able to have them, as he is once again on a diet. Chuck tells the story of his gift to our friend Ashley and how much she enjoyed it.

The guys talk about their trip to see a local wrestling show - in this case, the XWA Xtreme Rumble. From there, it's a discussion of the Microsoft HoloLens (video below), before finishing this week's episode with a look toward this Sunday's WWE Royal Rumble.
