#473 - Reminiscing About a Normal Summer

Yo yo yo! It's Chuck and I am coming at you from a filming trip in New Jersey with Tell 'Em Steve-Dave! I am spending the next week at Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash working with the TESD guys. This trip kind of came up last minute, Brad was also going on vacation, and we did not have time to record a new episode before I left. I was racking my brain on what we could do for an episode, and ultimately I decided that maybe a little trip down memory lane to LAST summer would be fun, in this time where we can't do so many things that are normal for us.
This is a little episode with clips of all the normal stuff we'd be doing (our live comedy shows, our hosting gigs for food events, playing concerts, going to see comedians and musicians, etc) if there wasn't a pandemic on our hands. Hopefully you guys will have a fun time with us reminiscing, and we can all look forward to a future where everyone can spend time together again enjoying life.

#431 - The Hella Megatour, Embracing the Patriots, and What Cheer Writers' Club Podcast Party

We start out talking about Chuck's newfound appreciation for football, specifically following the New England Patriots (ugh!). From there, we discuss the announcement of the Hella Mega Tour featuring Green Day, Weezer, Fall Out Boy, and the Interrupters. We talk about our videogame night and SNES games on the Nintendo Switch. Chuck tells me about attending a yard sale and making a pretty outstanding purchase and we discuss my disdain for yard sales in general. We talk about the new restaurant in town, La Pinata (I can't get the accent mark to appear over the n!) and the What Cheer Writers' Club's Podcast Listening Party. We close by talking about how quickly the summer passed and what is coming up for the fall.

Episode 325: Rancid + Dropkick Murphys, Senior Discount Attacked, and Chuck Almost Drowns!

After the normal social media plugs, we talk about the below Web Couliers. After that, we talk at length about Disney's new streaming service (that starts in 2019) and try to figure out how we are going to consume visual media in the future. After that, Chuck reads selections of a review of Senior Discount's new album. I have no skin in this game; if someone doesn't like the music, that's a valid opinion. That having been said, this is a dumb review and we spend some time marveling at the dumbness of it. Once we get that bile out of our systems, we talk about some Chuck birthday celebrations, then our trip to see Rancid and the Dropkick Murphys in concert. Chuck tells me the story of his kayaking misadventure and I am suitably impressed. We talk about seeing the Lion King in theaters, and close with compliments for Chuck's birthday dinner at Cook and Dagger!

Episode 271: Summer Playlists, Blink-182, and Independence Weekends

Who's ready for summer?! Chuck is, and proves it, by rolling through his "summer daytime" playlist to start off this episode. Fun fact: there are a lot of daytime summer songs. We talk about the below Web Couliers, then hash out the exciting news that Red Dead Redemption will be backward compatible for the Xbox One. We review the new Blink-182 album and discuss why Blink has stuck around for so long when other bands have....uh....not. Did you know Chuck and I actually spent the weekend apart? And that we didn't talk about what we did until on the podcast? Chuck recaps his fun American weekend with friends and family and I talk about barely beating a six year-old in a mile race! That feat having been properly feted, Chuck reveals the secret of a good summer playlist - have a second one for summer nights! He reviews this one and we sign off!
