#415 - Episode 400 Live, Pete Holmes, and the Crunch Cup

Chuck and I are back in the saddle this week! We talk about some emotional au jus in my life and how to chase joy. We wax ecstatic about donuts, then talk about our roles at the 2019 Malted Barley World Pretzel Eating Championship (coming to PVDFest on Saturday, June 8). Chuck reviews the Crunch Cup and sings its praises. Following that, we talk about the behind-the-scenes of our 400th episode, which went down live at the Comedy Connection on May 16. We talk about Tricycle Ice Cream and Chuck tells me about a Pete Holmes book reading he and Gina attended over the weekend. We also wax ecstatic about Pete Holmes and revel in the similarities between me and him. Chuck reviews the restaurant Feast in East Greenwich, RI, then tells me about his trip to WWE Smackdown earlier this week. I give a quick update about my recent past and we're outta here!

Episode 326: Nazis, MoviePass, and We Get An NES Classic

In the wake of recent national news, Chuck and I start off this week by talking about Nazis and offer our official podcast stance on the subject. We talk more about the idea of racism in general and how we can help the country become a better place. I also swear in this segment (several times!). We then move on to a listener email, then ease into somewhat lighter fare with some news about the history of Curb Your Enthusiasm, Batfleck, and Gremlins 3. Chuck tells me about the new project from Jeff Tremaine and Patrick O'Dell, then we talk about the MoviePass service. For ten bucks a month, you can see one movie per day. What do we think? We then talk about the NES Classic and are finally able to give a hands-on review of the system. Chuck tells me about a recent trip to the restaurant Los Andes, then savagely and brutally picks apart my personality re: food (and life). We finish up by talking about our recent trips to see WWE wrestling live this week and talk about how much fun we had.
