#442 (Archive Ep) - The Story of Nana and Papa

We have a ton of new listeners, and we think you all deserve a special holiday "Archive Episode!" Thanksgiving is a time for family. And what better way to celebrate family than by inviting Chuck's 90-something-year-old grandparents on the podcast? We learn all about their childhoods in the 1930s, Papa's job during WWII, everything Nana did on the homefront...then we learn about how they met, dated, and their early married life. We get some adorably scandalous stories about Chuck's mom and learn about being a judge in Rhode Island. A very fun conversation and celebration! Happy Thanksgiving!

#451 - Behind The Scenes of Filming "Restaurant: Impossible" at Perella's Ristorante

Whoa mama! We are joined by Gina Mastrostefano this week as we welcome in our very, very special guest - Lou Perella! Lou played a pivotal role in the recent episode of the Food Network's show "Restaurant: Impossible," as the "impossible restaurant" in last week's episode was Lou's father's business! Right here in lil' ol' Warren, Rhode Island: Perella's Ristorante! Lou has grown up working at Perella's, he played a pivotal role in the episode, and he gives us the whole behind the scenes story, from talks with the producers well ahead of time to meeting celebrity chef Robert Irvine, to Lou's feelings during the reveal of the renovated restaurant (and the culinary world in general). We love "Little Lou," and after hearing this episode, we guarantee you will too. (NOTE: Not an actual guarantee.) - Brad

Episode 340: Tattoos, The Galactic Theatre, and John Mulaney Live

Somehow, we keep this one relatively short. After creating a mascot for Thanksgiving (you're welcome), Chuck and I discuss what tattoos we would force the other person to get. This discussion is all over the place. After that, Chuck tells me about the Galactic Theatre, a new venue in downtown Warren, and the experiences he had there. We review the Dark Tower movie, then quickly move on to our review of John Mulaney's recent performance at the Boston Symphony Hall. After that, Chuck and I break down our friendship and creative partnership in an open, vulnerable, and hopefully still entertaining way.
