#550 - Behind The Scenes of Chuck and Brad's Best Christmas Show Ever 2021

We just finished a weekend of live shows and we're here to talk about it! Our first stop was Smodcastle in New Jersey - how did my drive to that neck of the woods go? Then back to our home club, The Comedy Connection, in East Providence, RI! How did things go comically awry, and how much of that was intended? We dish all the dirt! We read some listener emails and answer some probing questions about Christmas before signing off! Have a great holiday season, ya filthy animals!

#538 - Shang Chi, Broadway Returns (Lion King!) and Chuck Traverses the East Coast

We start out this week with a fun little contest through our Facebook page - what the heck is one of Chuck's new horror-themed nesting dolls supposed to be? From there, we hear about Chuck's trip to New Jersey to film with Kevin Smith and Steve Buscemi - aka Kev and the Boosh! Chuck films with them, bums around the state with his cool Jersey friends, then drives to New York to do some more filming with Tuesdays With Stories. Why was Chuck late, and how is it never his fault? He came back to town for a day, then went to New York to see The Lion King on Broadway. Chuck explains it all to me, then talks about having to evacuate the hotel after a suspicious fire alarm. Fortunately, he made it home safely. We then offer a spoiler-free review of Shang-Chi, make it clear when spoilers start, then take a deep, deep dive into the newest Marvel film before closing out!

#477 - Our Trip To New Hampshire (and BONUS CONTENT from Jersey!)

This is an unusual episode! Comedian Robert Kelly kicks off the show with a plug for his upcoming show at the Comedy Connection in East Providence, RI. But then, recorded while in transit from New Hampshire back to the friendly confines of Rhode Island, this episode features longtime pal Katy Johnson. We talk about our trip to New Hampshire - how did we stay safe, what restaurants did we eat at, what natural wonders awed and wowed us, how many things did Katy and Chuck bicker about? Important stuff like that! Learn how I feel about surrendering control to a river's current! And don't forget the BONUS CONTENT recorded in Jersey, as Chuck calls me in the middle of my workday to tell me about his hellacious Holiday Inn experience!

The Tony Hawk Pro Skater documentary has a release date in August, Seth Rogen has a movie releasing soon and is in talks to be involved with the next Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie!

We then compare weeks - Chuck went to New Jersey to film for Tell 'Em Steve-Dave, I went to Indiana to hang out with my family and eat a surprising (or not-that-surprising) amount of pizza.

#445 - The Rodecaster Pro, Brad's Argument Quirks, Indiana, and Knives Out

Do we sound different this week? Because we are recording on a brand-new Rodecaster Pro, graciously sent to us by the fine folks at Rode! Wow! We talk about that and show off some of its cool features for a while. From there, we discuss Chuck's trip to New Jersey to film with the TESD boys. From there, we talk about some of my quirks and habits about arguing and basically argue about arguing in classic Chuck and Brad fashion. Once we cover that fully, I talk about my trip to Indiana and hanging out with my family. Chuck talks about some Christmas parties he's been to recently. We offer a spoiler-free review of the film Knives Out and then, after a clear delineator, we move to a spoiler-free review of this very fun movie!

Chuck is the focus this week! He went to work at Vulgarthon - a Kevin Smith-curated film festival in Red Bank! Chuck was doing some filming for the TESD guys and experiencing the finest things Red Bank had to offer! He recaps the day and talks about finally getting the chance to meet - as a peer - Kevin Smith! Wow! Way to go, Chuck!
In addition, we had a joint birthday party with our pal Lou last weekend - and we took the podcast equipment with us! You can catch a brief snippet of the festivities in this episode, along with a plug for the full audio online!

Episode 290: Political Misgivings, Impractical Jokers Live, and Maron at Carnegie

We recorded this during the evening of Election Day...so we did not know who was going to win the election when we recorded. I express concerns about a candidate. Chuck reassures me that there is no way that candidate could win. *sigh*
Moving to areas that we're more comfortable with, we talk about Dave Chapelle hosting SNL this coming weekend, the 'Big Bang Theory' prequel, and the Simpsons being renewed for seasons 29 and 30 - how can an animated show stay fresh? What do we like about what South Park is doing? Also, the 'Deadpool' director left 'Deadpool 2' - what does that mean for the project?
Last week found us in New Jersey to see Impractical Jokers live (with Nitro Circus). How was it? Pretty great! But you should still listen for details! Our trip continued with some gallivanting around NYC, then seeing Marc Maron at Carnegie Hall. Spoiler alert: Marc Maron is brilliant. We also got to see Dane Cook at the Beacon Street Theatre, which was also great (in a different way). And finally...Chuck played poker for the first time ever! How did he beat me?!?!

Everything I said in this episode was recorded before Trump won. I was wrong when I predicted he'd lose, and outside of that, I stand by every opinion I expressed.

Episode 246: Chuck's New Jersey Trip, Enemy, and Diversity in Media

Episode 246 starts on an aimless road...an aimless road that leads to Full House, as Chuck and Brad talk about the plots of specific episodes of Full House. This was all in an attempt to introduce the below Web Couliers. Chuck talks about some movie news about Spider-Man and Quentin Tarantino. Separately. Chuck and Brad talk about the 2013 movie Enemy and how they received it. Chuck relays some news about upcoming Dying Light DLC and a new NOFX book. Also separately.
Chuck and Gina recently took a trip to New Jersey. How did it go? Where did they eat? Did Chuck do the Stanky Leg? (No.) Brad then talks about some books he's read recently, which leads into a talk about diversity in media and Chuck and Brad admit their ignorance with a desire to be better. This talk of privilege segues beautifully into Brad's anticlimactic appearance in the Providence Municipal Court!
