Episode 344: Chuck's Nintendo Scam and A Look Back At 2017

We kick off this week with a discussion about some awesome enamel pins Chuck received from the good people at Wicked Critter Co. Ill admit it -they're pretty great, even if Chuck's the only one getting hooked up*. From there, Chuck tells me about his scam to make enough money to get a Nintendo Switch (plus games), an NES Classic (above retail), and an SNES Classic (plus a wireless controller) for a total of $0 spent. And he did it!! Wow! NOTE: If I don't seem impressed when Chuck's telling me about it, it's because I'm not surprised he's able to pull these things off.
After that, we talk about our feelings concerning Chuck and Brad's Best Christmas Show Ever, which was December 21. After that, we look back, week by week, at ALL of 2017 and talk about the things we did artistically and personally and how they shaped us as performers and individuals.

RE-UP: Episode 327: A New Tell Em Steve-Dave Project, Chuck's Vermont Trip, and an Impractical Jokers Opportunity

We had to re-post the episode because there was a problem with this episode's XML file. All fixed! We start off by Chuck talking about his involvement with the Tell 'Em Steve-Dave Podcast and a solicitation for ideas for that project. I have a brilliant idea, but didn't mention it and have since forgotten it. :( We then talk about Chuck's trip to Vermont with family and the difficulties presented therein; I chuckle at his misfortune. We chat about Nintendo opening preorders for the SNES Classic and how they sold out quickly and I hate them. We close the episode by revealing the big project we were working on a few weeks ago - an invitation to submit to write for the television show Impractical Jokers - and talk about how things turned out, and how we feel about it and our future.

Episode 320: Venom in the MCU, the SNES Classic, and Zoobilee 2017

Back in the studio again this week! Chuck and I talk about the new Jurassic World movie and wildly speculate about the plot. We then speculate about the plot of "Jigsaw," the new film in the "Saw" franchise. We then turn our attention to the news that the status of Venom in relation to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and continue our wild speculation about whether our symbiotic pal will make the leap to the MCU and how that could work. From there, we talk about the SNES Classic and whether or not it is worth a purchase. I defend the 16-bit game "Bubsy." We talk about our recent few weeks, including Senior Discount's show with the Toasters, an extended behind-the-scenes (from our points of view) of the Reel Big Fish interview(s). Chuck and Gina relate the story of Roger Williams' Zoobilee 2017 to me - Zoobilee being an annual fundraiser for the Roger Williams Zoo that features food from dozens of Providence restaurants and also Chuck messing up the mojo of the on-site band. We finish with a new segment that we brainstorm on the podcast and have fun doing so. Fun week!
