#570 - Brad's Terrible Spine Surgery Adventure

That's right, Brad had spine surgery also! What a copycat! Before he breaks that down, though, we answer questions that listeners sent in, including insights on dating and more Patreon ideas. After that, Brad tells the story of his surgery and recovery period and we both giggle like idiots about using anti-bacterial wipes on unapproved body parts.

#478 - The Story of Walt Flanagan

Part one in a multi-part miniseries, "TESD Town History!" Chuck sits down for an in-person one-on-one with Walt Flanagan of Tell 'Em Steve-Dave, inside Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash. Walt talks about his entire life in creativity - from drawing comics, to starring in AMC's "Comic Book Men," to reluctantly starting the podcast, and now showrunning a massively successful Patreon. We also hear how about Chuck's eventual involvement and a funeral invitation led to Walt and Chuck connecting (yes, seriously). It's an incredibly interesting dive into the experiences of an incredibly interesting man. After that, Chuck forces me to tell an embarrassing story from my past in which I feud with a Salvation Army Santa Calus. Also - yes, seriously.

#465: Universal Pictures vs AMC Theatres, Groundhog Day, and That Kevin Smith Club

Just us this week! Chuck and I talk about our recent experiences, including the phenomenon of spending money just to feel something during the Stay At Home order. We talk about some things our family members are going through as well - pulling back the collective curtain on our actual lives. I tell Chuck about the Mr. Rogers documentary and my emotional reaction to it. He explains the Beastie Boys documentary (we briefly discussed it last week) and HIS emotional reaction to that! So many emotions. We then move to discuss news - after the success of Trolls: World Tour on streaming rentals, what does this mean for the future of movies (specifically movies from Universal) in theaters (specifically AMC theaters)? Chuck describes his feelings about the movie Groundhog Day, which he has recently seen for the first time. And finally, we discuss That Kevin Smith Club, the paysite for all things Kevin Smith! Wow!

#380 - Guttershakes Pins, "Any Given Sunday," and A Scary Day For Brad

Oh man. Rough day for ol' Bradley-Bear here. Chuck and I talk about my realistic-but-unfounded fear of my brother dying in a hospital a thousand miles away today. Not a great day for me. Once we process that, we read some emails from pals Abe and Alex. Chuck and I talk about the enamel "Scream" pins from Guttershakes, then playing through Mother Russia Bleeds with Lou and B Lau. Chuck tells me about a fancy dinner he had at Oberlin, I tell him about my misadventures with prophesying. We close with a lengthy discussion of the new TESD Patreon film project, "Any Given Sunday."
