#409 - Chuck's Hellacious Wrestlemania Experience, Promposals, and The Trailer for Joker

Abe AND Dylan are with us this week! After we thank a sponsor, Chuck and I read an email and discuss a listener's not-so-great date. We then poke and prod at Dylan's plans regarding whether or not he's going to his high school prom. Chuck gives an update on his puppy and we're all in awe of the pup's cuteness. We talk about the new Joker trailer and Abe has to defend his stance on trailers. Somehow that leads to a discussion of theories about Avengers: Endgame, and we are still psyched. I talk about a mental health night I hosted with my church, then Chuck provides a (physical) health update in regards to allergies and his search for remedies. Chuck then tells us about his personal experience at this year's Wrestlemania, and spoiler alert - leaving the venue was not a great experience. After giving non-wrestling-fans the opportunity to tune out, we break down the whole show and talked about what worked and what didn't.

Episode 305: Wrestlemania Discussion and Predictions

I know, I know, this could be considered "304 Part Two," but due to a variety of conflating circumstances, it's now considered episode 305. DEAL WITH IT. We are once again joined by the guyzos from Sweet Babylon - Izzy, Lenny, and Kyle! This episode is all about the Grandaddy of them all - WRESTLEMANIA! There are five very different levels of excitement in the room for the annual WWE event and we explore the reasons for it as well as make predictions for matches and winners! Super fun time with the SB Boys!

Episode 251: Wrestlemania Predictions

*NOTE: BRAD HAS BEEN UNKILLED AFTER LAST WEEK'S ERROR*
The 251st entry into the Chuck and Brad library finds us joined by three local hooligans - Brian Decoteaux, Izzy Carmenatty, and Kyle Platt. The dudes are here to talk about wrestling and make some predictions for this year's Wrestlemania. Before they do, however, Brad relates an adorably sad story to the guys, much to their delight. From there, each man makes predictions for Wrestlemania, picking winners or matches as necessary - sometimes with accompanying reasons and fallout. Once they've all had a turn, they talk about fantasy booking, and discussing what they'd "like" to see from this year's event. SPOILER ALERT: This episode is worth it just for Chuck's fantasy booking. A little discussion about favorite Wrestlemanias, wrestlers, and Weezer albums closes out the show.

We are joined in episode 198 by Senior Discount bassist Abe Correia and Podcast Pal/Other Band Guy Brian Decoteaux. The episode kicks off with Brian relating a terrible tragedy he experienced in the morning; good laughs are had by all (except Brian). Brad and Chuck promote their upcoming shows, including Senior Discount playing Tuesday, February 10, at DV8 in Providence.
After a quick chat about the below Web Couliers, C tells A, B, and B about some movie news, including information about release windows for the next Paranormal Activity movie and a new chapter in the Ring series. The four bozos talk about the casting of the new Ghostbusters movie and share their opinions, educated and otherwise. They talk about how the entire Wet Hot American Summer cast is coming back for the Netflix series, regardless of its beautiful unlikelihood.
Chuck then chimes in - he won this year's "Royal Rumble" bet, and the winner gets to "change VBW history" - how will he do it? The answer may surprise you! Brad and Chuck discuss the recent film Project Almanac, then Brad talks about the Less Than Jake/Reel Big Fish show he recently attended. They chat about Sunset Overdrive, Chuck talks about the new Saints Row game as well as Dying Light, then shift into mainstream pop culture mode and discuss the ending of the Super Bowl.
Once that is complete, the four stallions set their sights on Wrestlemania and discuss possible matches and storylines we'll see in the months ahead.
