#456 - The Impractical Jokers Movie, Brad's Mobile Game Addiction, and A Pup In Peril!

Chuck and I are back at it this week! Chuck calls the Chubies to action, then I offer a heartfelt apology to Chuck for assuming the worst of some of his previous preferences. Chuck tells me all about his Valentine's Weekend with his wonderful girlfriend Gina and the many restaurants he tried. I talk about quitting a mobile game I had played for over 600 days. I tell Chuck about the February 2020 version of Pechakucha in Providence, then we get into an in-depth discussion about what the Impractical Jokers movie means to us as independent comedians. We wind things up with a story about Chuck's horrible week, and a moment of fear for his pup, Swiss Miss!

#455 - Spiral, McMillions, and Parasite

We are joined this week by Tony Pacitti and Matt Ferrara, co-hosts of the podcast What Did We Miss? We discuss their podcast for a while and talk about their inspirations and I try to recruit them as juggalos. For some reason, they pass on the opportunity. After that, we talk about the trailer for the upcoming movie "Spiral." Will it be a reboot of Saw? A sequel? A parallel movie? We speculate on all the possibilities! From there, the four of us talk about the ongoing HBO documentary series "McMillion$" and offer our feelings about what we've seen so far. And after a minor tangent or two, we dive into a discussion about the movie Parasite. How did we feel about the academy award-winning film?

#454 - Deja Blues, Fast and Furious 9 Trailer, Kevin Smith, and The California Raisins

Chuck and I are back, and we've both had BAD DAYS! GRRRRRRRR!!! We talk about that, then decide to have a fun podcast to replace those bad feelings. We discuss The Fast and Furious 9 trailer and try to figure out how much our podcast of two weeks ago affected the casting and writing of a movie that's been done for weeks. We finish that and discuss our recent trip to see Kevin Smith's "Jay and Silent Bob Reboot" Roadshow in Providence. Once we finish that, we kick off our new segment "The Rohrer You Know" and I teach Chuck the history of The California Raisins!

#453 - Ray Harrington on "Conan" and a Sad Story From Brad's Past

We welcome in our pal Ray Harrington this week! After he and Chuck discuss the best way to celebrate (or not celebrate) Valentine's Day, we get to the heart of the matter. Ray tells us all about his experience doing stand-up on "Conan." How it came about, how it felt, what kind of snacks were in the green room...all the most important things about the entire experience. And after we finish celebrating Ray's career milestone, I bring things back to earth with a dating tale from my college days. Much merriment is had discussing my pain!!!!

#452 - Cage Titans MMA, Embark Dog DNA Tests, and Bad Boys For Life

Our intern Ayden joins us for one final adventure this week! We talk about our friend (and frequent podcast guest) Ray Harrington guesting on the Conan show as we were recording this episode. We talk about Chuck's feelings on animal attack videos and discuss whether bad guys getting attacked by animals would make for good viewing. We recap our recent adventure hosting the Spectacular Cookie Smackdown for RI Food Fights. Chuck and I tell Ayden about our night out watching some local MMA bouts and how it felt to witness such brutality. From there, we discuss the recent WWE Royal Rumble (with a little more scripted brutality). Chuck talks about the Dog DNA kit he just received from the good people at Embark. Chuck tells us about the Kevin Hart documentary series on Netflix. From there, Chuck waxes nostalgic about Bad Boys 1, then waxes ecstatic about Bad Boys 2 (and describes the entire ending sequence to Ayden). We then offer a spoiler-free review of Bad Boys For Life, and give a clear warning before giving our spoiler-full thoughts on the film.

#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
