Podcast appearances and mentions of dan d'aprile

On this episode, we talk with DAN D'APRILE about his ghost-hunting mom, working on the set of GHOST ADVENTURES, and what the Black Dahlia house is like IRL 65+ infamous years later.  Spoiler: We didn't realize paranormal investigation societies have the same level of petty-drama as the Philly comedy scene-- only this time, the stakes are BEYOND life and death.  We play a game of WOULD YOU RATHER but after listening to this episode, you'll be asking yourself why we didn't play TRUTH OR DARE OR HAIR. Truly, a missed opportunity on our end. 

Welcome back to Blues in Review! Kevin and Matt talk reverse ASMR and bad sleep habits. Then, comedian Dan D'Aprile returns to the show to chat with the boys about the legendary D'Aprile Mobile and high school bullies. Plus, "white blues" musician Blind Melon LaCroix stops by the studio to dish on the history of a very niche genre and play some songs from his storied career!

A certain someone is ill so this week's episode features three unreleased clips from the past! 1: Isaac and Charles talk about knowing and not knowing what women want, the friendzone, and more! 2: The show is joined by Adam Tod Brown and Dan D'Aprile to discuss Bears Ears and the federalization of land. 3: The infamous "Pets" episode featuring Chris Callahan and Rachel Louie that takes a turn into a conversation on trans rights that is naturally very well-informed.

Frank Traynor is back! This week we're talking DRUGS, a subject on which Isaac and Frank are both self-styled experts. Everyone shares their best and worst drug stories, which include Charles's edible paranoia and Isaac accidentally doing meth in Mexico. Frank tells the story of doing drugs on a camping trip with panty-removing daddy Dan D'Aprile. Isaac thinks drug use should be a special occasion, Frank thinks everyone should do more drugs, and Charles describes the time his mom thought he was smoking pot because he had a computer game that smelled weird. Also discussed: drug decriminalization (try and guess who is pro and con), Isaac and Frank provide recommendations for the best drug to do, and why you don't want to be the old guy at the rave.

It's the final episode of the resiDANce as soon-to-be-gone comedian Dan D'Aprile joins Charles and Isaac one last time for a hard look at a hot button topic: jury duty. Charles tells a story about his experience on a jury panel in an LA criminal court and warns what happens when everyone treats jury duty like a nuisance instead of an obligation. Also discussed: time limited relationships, Charles lying about having a wife in order to avoid purchasing furniture, and the nepotism of the entertainment business. Check out Dan on Twitter (@DanDaprile) and Instagram (@DannyDaprile)!

Isaac, Charles, and Dan D'Aprile just got back from lunch and annoyed a waitress who wanted them to order more aggressive drinks. Charles reads listener feedback from the controversial When Listeners Attack episode about Heather Marulli and it is not on the side of Dave of Kentucky! Isaac shares a harrowing experience receiving angry missives from one of his Vandal Press writers and the value of online comments is debated. Also discussed: why liberal cities have so many homeless people, a fantastic Twitter account for everyone to follow, and Dan's Irish accent. This is the next to last episode of the resiDANce! Heather Marulli's response to Dave of Kentucky here: https://soundcloud.com/heather-marulli/swapcast-dreams-come-true-three-relatively-handsome-men-discuss-me-at-length

Time to read and cringe over a variety of the terrible personal essays that online portals love to publish! The resiDANce continues with Dan D'Aprile joining Isaac and Charles to examine the merits of articles like "I am tired of being a Jewish man's rebellion," "Christina Hendricks: A Letter to Men," and "When Your 7 Year Old Son Announces 'I'm Gay!'" Also covered: why Isaac was reading Milo Yiannopoulos in a Long Beach lesbian coffee shop, Dan D'Aprile's future character Don Draprile, and the titillation of the word "panties."

It's yet another podcast about a podcast. Only this is a podcast that some people care about! Noted ASMR voice-having neuroscientist Sam Harris went head to head with Bush-era Tyepad blogger Ezra Klein in a 2 hour episode (https://samharris.org/podcasts/123-identity-honesty/) stemming from a yearlong feud over ANOTHER podcast Harris had with Bell Curve author Charles Murray. Charles and Isaac dissect the contretemps with comedian Dan D'Aprile, who continues his multi-episode resiDANce on the show. Isaac thinks Ezra is the problem, Charles thinks neither one comes off well, and everyone laments the ways we no longer listen to each other. Plus Charles reveals a new show soundclip featuring Sam! Also discussed: annoying kids like the Parkland students getting involved in politics, Jordan Peterson is weirding out Isaac, and the proper way to begin a discussion when there is already disagreement.

Just when we thought we were out, he pulls us back in! Isaac has disavowed Trump but not necessarily Trumpism, and he provides a list of Trump policy achievements to Charles as well as listener favorite Dan D'Aprile and special guest Unpopular Opinion's Adam Tod Brown. These include eradicating third party payments, dealing with Salvadorean refugees, and getting rid of gender reassignment surgeries in the military? Isaac makes a strong and compelling case and everyone is on his side. Just kidding! Also discussed: the decline of mail bombs, where the money is in solar, and a special appearance by black on black crime!

Welcome to a very "shocking" installment of Bleak in Review! In this episode, Kevin is assaulted by faulty headphones while discussing his chore-based anxiety and Matt makes some bold statements about firefighters. Then, comedian Dan D'Aprile joins the...

Charles recently read the Walter Isaacson biography of Steve Jobs, and that becomes today's jumping-off point for a conversation with Isaac and returning guest Dan D'Aprile about "great men" and whether what fuels them to achieve is also what powers their dark sides, as seen in countless recent examples like Weinstein, Louis CK, and so many others. Are great men so used to imposing their will on the field in which they excel that they begin applying it everywhere else in their lives? Do powerful men harrass women because they can't conceive of a woman not being interested in them? Walter Isaacson argued that Jobs was a great man but could have been a nicer guy. Is that actually true? You can probably guess everyone's answers to these questions.

Time for an #Elsagate investigation! Charles and Isaac are joined by Evan Williams and Dan D'Aprile for a dark trip down the rabbit hole that is #Elsagate, a broad description for a series of creepy and unsettling videos and cartoons showing up on YouTube, ostensibly aimed at children but featuring inappropriate imagery utilizing pop culture characters like Spider-Man and Elsa from Frozen. Theories abound regarding #Elsagate's origins: is it pedo ring communication? Russian asymmetrical warfare? Corporate intrigue? Everyone presents their own theories, from automation run amok to an attack on Google to force them to more stringently police user content. Everyone plays a game of "Guess Which Conspiracy Isaac Believes In." A very disturbing episode for the whole family!

Another all over the place podcast as comedian Dan D'Aprile joins the show and everyone shares the origin of their last name. Charles is descended from slaveowners, and Isaac makes the same dumb joke twice. Then three white dudes talk about slavery and the discussion moves on to the limitations of language and inherent East Coast vs West Coast differences when talking about race. Charles floats the idea of changing the term "SJW" to "Tumblr liberal" and then there's some Trump talk. A little something for everyone!

The Google Memo is everywhere, including on the podcast! Comedians Amanda Cohen and Dan D'Aprile come on to talk about the most exciting workplace document since Charles got suspended! Isaac is on board with the memo but others are unconvinced of its value. Is the memo dated misogynist nonsense or does it raise points worth considering? Why are women underrepresented in tech? Are diversity goals benefiting women and minorities or just hurting white men? Also discussed: people counting (good and bad), the butchering of 1984's Two Minutes Hate, and how white men are the Snickers of American culture...? Send your angry emails to chucknjoe@hotmail.com.
