#410 - Will Chuck Have To Get Rid Of His Dog, Mulaney/Davidson Live, and Pet Sematary

Chuck and I talk a lot this week! He begins with a story about his recent spate of allergies, and what that means for his future with his new puppy, the adorable Swiss Miss. Once we go into depth about how many pricks and needles Chuck dealt with, we talk about our recent trip to see John Mulaney and Pete Davidson do stand-up. How good was it? We close with an in-depth discussion of the new Pet Sematary. We offer spoiler-free thoughts first, so anyone who hasn't seen the movie can tune out when those are done (and then tune back in AFTER they see the movie). We then offer a spoiler-full review of the entire movie and learn that I apparently forgot some key scenes from the first film.

#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.

#408 - Poutine, Chuck's New Addition, and James Gunn's Reinstatement

We are joined this week by Dylan the Intern! He's back, so ladies, please hold onto your underpants!!!
Chuck and I explain poutine to Dylan in relation to the Poutine Indulgence Festival in Woonsocket, RI, from a few weeks ago. Dylan loves to hear about my interactions with strangers. I re-tell my Benny The Bull story, much to Chuck's delight (and Dylan's confusion).
Chuck then breaks down a giant decision in his life and talks about a new addition to his home (not a baby). We talk about James Gunn being reinstated as the director of Guardians of the Galaxy, Volume 3. We close with Chuck explaining the mountains of work that went into his latest video project for Tell 'Em Steve-Dave. - Brad

#407 - The Story of The Time Capsule

This week finds us with local business icon Robert Yeremian! We learn about the history of the comics/collectibles store The Time Capsule, and man oh man, is it ever a doozy. From Rob's days hustling sales from his room in high school out to California and back, every step of the journey was incredibly entertaining for us!

We have a great interview this week! Comedian/Writer/Podcaster Mike Finoia sits down with us and talks about his journey. We learn about his background and his decision to enter comedy, and talk about how he joined up with the Impractical Jokers crew. He tells us about writing for Inside Jokes and starting The Amigos podcast. Super fun talk with a super fun dude!

#405 - Talking To Middle Schoolers, Is Chuck A Hero?, and Captain Marvel

In this week's episode, Chuck and I talk about our recent trip to a local middle school to talk about podcasting last week. It was a fun time. In a less-fun turn of events, Chuck witnessed an elderly woman falling and talks about the aftermath.
After a break to, you know...see the movie, your heroes (Chuck and Brad, now with JORDAN FURTADO in tow) come back and offer up a SPOILER-FREE discussion of Captain Marvel. Once our thoughts on the spoiler-free front are suitably explained, we then offer up a spoiler-full review of the movie and talk about how it feeds into the overall Marvel Cinematic Universe.

#404 - Brad's Physics Problem, Equality In Friendships, and The New TESD Videos

We start out this week with a very long tangent about equality in friendship - a subject we continue to try and figure out! I seamlessly tie in a plug for our sponsor, then we work on some listener emails about book recommendations, predatory behavior, hypnotism, and the app Discord. I tell Chuck about an annoying problem I had at church last weekend and he laughs himself sick at my expense. He then tells me about the new Coodle Pillow, as well as a trip to see Kevin James do stand-up at the Comedy Connection in East Providence. Chuck then pulls back the curtain on two new Tell 'Em Steve-Dave videos - Episode 400.1 and Makin' Haystory! Crazy!
Closing the show this week is Paper + Plastick Records' artist Divided Heaven with their song Home For The Summer!
