Comic. Actor. Icon. Opportunist. Francesco Paladino is all those things wrapped up in a bearded bag and he joins us for an in-depth interview covering his career spanning over a decade. From is Mother Tour to a stint on "The Wendy Williams Show", "Orange Is The New Black", Francesco has done a lot and continues to do as much as he can, even our show! Things get particularly fun when he rips on Pete for going to see Kevin James perform. 

We also learn that going downtown on your lovers can give you throat cancer and the Down the Hall Podcast boys discuss "Lion" and recommend "The Imitation Game" for this week's movie  

On a Checked Out In Jersey note, last week's episode has almost surpassed the total downloads for THE ENTIRE MONTH KF MAY. While we don't know exactly what the cause of that is, we are thrilled by it and thank all of you listened and have returned for this episode.

As always, please tell your friends about the show, like us on Facebook and Twitter (@checkedoutnj on both) and leave a five star review in iTunes!

LIVE! from the Big Box of Magic Studios!!

Good Lord this is a full show complete with two guests. Well, three but from two entities. 

We begin with Katie and Brad from Decomposition Podcast, a fun show that decomposes the bad songs we love. Matt and Brad discover they get douche chills from John Mayer for the same reasons. Together, we all analyze the Pina Colada Song, by Rupert Holmes, no relation to John Holmes  

Then, Kyle Kappmeier of The Patriot Militia stops by to present a gift made with his own two hands for his favorite podcasters (that would be Matt and Pete in case you were confused).

LIVE! From the Big Box of Magic Studios!

Craig Thiessen is an up and coming filmmaker from right here in our own backyard, Sussex County, NJ. For his senior thesis he had to make a short film. It should have run about 10 minutes long but Craig was so inspired that he made it a tad longer and it is good! Check it out: www.syncthemovie.com

Plus, Rodney flies solo to talk about last week's film, "Don't Think Twice", Matt dressed as a fat nun in the Jim Morrison role of his feature-length parody of Oliver Stone's "The Doors", and Pete thinks Jesus said "and the raped shall inherit the earth." 

And more!

Make this the first magical Father's Day in your dad's/husband's life by giving him the Big Box of Magic, the newest release from Breaking Games. Use promo code BOX4DAD when you purchase your Big Box of Magic at www.bigboxofmagic.com and receive 10% off. It just might save your life!

Trust us, this episode is not as depressing as it may seem and we're #sorrynotsorry for the super-long show. Think of it as a "very special" Checked Out In Jersey

Recorded live at the Big Box of Magic Studios in Hackettstown, NJ 

The suicide of Soundgarden and Audioslave frontman, Chris Cornell, has sparked a very emotional reaction in fans and non-fans alike many people say that his death is affecting them in unexpected ways. This then leads to Matt opening up and sharing some of his dark secrets with Pete and the audience.

PLUS!

Chet and Rodney are back with a new movie recommendation, Aurora Snow's dad is proud of her prolapsed rectum and Trump and the Saudis summon the power of a glowing orb

"He is perhaps the most fascinating guest that they've ever had on Checked Out in Jersey." -Podcaster Magazine

"The Chemistry between Matt Josephs and Daddio Sugar is second only to Carson and Don Rickles." Entertainment Weekly

"In my humble opinion, The Big Box of Magic should be called 'The Bigly Box of Magic' because it's gonna be huge." President Donald J Trump

"None of these people or entities ever said these things. I don't even know if 'Podcaster Magazine' exists." Matt Josephs

Daddio Sugar, from the Big Box of Magic, is with us once again to announce that the Big Box of Magic is purchasing studio naming rights! We'd like to thank the BBoM and Jeff Burnett for being the first entity to name the studio!

In this episode we delve deeper into Daddio's past. Well, we try to. He's very hard to pin down. 

Also, Chet and Rodney are back together to discuss last week's movie recommendation, "Fruitvale Station" and share this week's, "Kings of Summer".

This show is full of controversy! First, Pete departs from his usual enthusiasm for Chet and Rodney's (Down the Hall Podcast) movie recommendation of the week, "Chef". Matt loved the film and John Leguizamo liked his tweet about it. So, there, Pete!

Then we get into the news of the day including Fyre Festival lawsuits filed by famed attorney Mark Geragos, plus a controversial new product to help pedophiles not offend: realistic, child sex-dolls. Yeah, it's as disgusting as it sounds.

Jason Patrick sits in with us once again and we announce an additional prize for the upcoming joint-contest with The Down The Hall Podcast. Enjoy!

Chet from Down the Hall Podcast  flies solo and again and, this time, sticks around for the whole show. We cover topics ranging from how female comedians are 99.998% unfunny, the movie "Chef", the wonderfully comedic debacle known as Fyre Festival and everybody's favorite trans-racial moron, Rachel Dolezal, on her historic "Use Your Delusion" tour to South Africa. 

We are also joined by former stand up comedian, Jenna Brown, who some of you might know from Matt Defede's "The Digital Marketing Pro Show".

As you sit in your middle-aged funk and wish you had done something differently so your life wouldn't be so boring, here's a kid who is knee-high to a grasshopper but playing on stage with Jim Breuer in front of 15,000 people. Guitar Gabe, who originally appeared with us on our old show, The OMC Show (still available on iTunes and Stitcher), comes back, this time with guitar in hand, to update us on his career (which Matt is jealous of) and to take the Heavy Metal Riff Challenge. Gabe knows over 100 heavy metal songs and Matt tries to stop him up by randomly calling out song titles. 

Before Gabe comes on, Chet and Rodney from Down The Hall Podcast discuss last week's pic, "Sing Street", and reveal this week's pic. They also talk about how they won't flog each others' dolphins in a parking like behind Chilis. Wendy's? Well, that's another story. (DISCLAIMER: They really don't do that in any parking lot, room, or other environment).

Matt has yet another heart attack. Or maybe this time it was a stroke. Or nicotine poisoning. Or who knows what? All he knows is that he couldn't lift his arms and he didn't like what his doctor told him. Just listen.

Chet had sand in his va-jay-jay, so Rodney, from Down The Hall Podcast (www.downthehallpodcast.com), was flying solo during his segment, in which he gives Matt health advise and forms a "co-hosts union" of sorts with Pete. This week's recommendation is "Sing Street". Just listen!

And, finally, the Main Event: Audible Soul is a refreshing, soulful trio out of Westfield, New Jersey and they stop by the studio to deliver our first live in-studio performance since Marquis Allen in 2015. (We really are a class act when it comes to bringing you fine entertainment.) You really gotta listen!! Oh, and CJ owns Butcher Burgers on Elm St in Westfield. Matt and Pete ate their a few weeks ago and, boy, oh boy, does that CJ make some good burgers. No joke. 

Albulena Berisha, CJ Reycraft & Jose Valencia make up the fun and talent threesome. After performing the song "Blind" from their EP, they sit down for an interview with Matt and Pete and arbitrarily get Matt to divulge the name of the first song he ever wrote, "Hiners and Giners". Don't ask. Just listen!

BUTCHER BURGERS

www.butcherburgers.net

We begin with remembering the king of politically incorrect, irreverent, insult comedy, Donald J Rickles. May that brand of humor not die with him. Amen. 

The Down The Hall Podcast fellas, Chet and Rodney, call in to discuss last week's movie pick and share their recommendation for this week, which is "Get Out".

Then The Lady In Red drops by the studio to talk about the film she is working on and how she became a celebrity publicist thanks to a chance encounter with Jon Bon Jovi

And finally, Matt and Pete unveil a new segment that will eventually spin-off to a second show call "Fat, Bald and Miserable"
