Episode 283: Complicated Media Streaming, Transparency, and Brad's Epiphany

We start with some plugs for social media (and to rate the podcast on iTunes), and then go into a talk about a driplet of news concerning CW's media streaming policy. This becomes a downpour of news as we brainstorm ideas on how to fix streaming media in general. A lot of water terms in there. Chuck shares a GMail trick with me, then reviews a local Mexican restaurant. We talk about our recent stand-up show and what we learned. Chuck talks about Senior Discount's performance at the Pop Rocks Music Festival and laments his DVD-trade-in options in the area.
Chuck then brings up the idea of transparency; are we open enough on the podcast? How can we be more transparent in our personal and podcastal lives? That segues beautifully into me sharing something I felt/experienced over the summer and how I got there. Totally transparent!

Episode 254: Ultra HD, 10 Cloverfield Lane, and Chuck's Disc-astrophe

This week starts with the traditional updates, then the guys dive headfirst into one driplet of movie news - Indiana Jones 5. What advice does Chuck have for the people already hating on the movie? Chuck and Brad then hit up the concept of 4K discs and Ultra HD physical media. Chuck then promotes the below Web Couliers and Brad tries to refuse to put one of them up.
The guys reminisce about the heyday of wrestling when it featured moves like the Stinkface, then discuss the more-recent movie The Gift. 10 Cloverfield Lane is next up, and the guys offer a (for once) spoiler-free review. Some brief talk about the Open Mic they did earlier this week, Chuck talks about his new guitars, then Brad talks about his week and feelings of low self-worth. They discus Zootopia, then Chuck relates the "hilarious" tale of "Bruce Wang."
The episode closes with the guys trying to figure out what to do with Chuck's salvageable DVD collection going forward. This synopsis is still signed "Brad." Please don't let Chuck change it.

I think "Disc-Tastrophe" would be better than "Disc-astrophe" - Chuck
