Chucklepedia

What could go better than taking thousands of angry sports fans, offering them unlimited 10-cent beer and then throwing them all together on a hot July night? Drew and Jim find out as they discuss the infamous Ten Cent Beer Night in Cleveland in the 70's, the decade of good ideas. They also chat about going into the woods to be alone, how to make sure your rideshare driver doesn't think you're an a-hole and the latest law porn stars may have to obey for safety.

Jim and Drew take a look at the first Science Fiction author ever, Syrian writer Lucian in the 2nd Century and his completely made-up nonsense True History and how it still influences writing and parodies today. They also chat about the end of Mad Men, David Letterman's retirement and somehow, yet another year of Bay To Breakers in San Francisco.

Scott Armstrong is a professional sports broadcaster who can be seen and heard on Comcast. Scott takes us deep into the world of sports announcing, how he had a passion for it from an early age, how that made him popular in school and also how he took a detour into being a sports referee and the strange subculture of calling games for a living.

Recorded when Drew had been awake for about 26 hours, the Chucklepedia team reconvene to discuss the life and times of notable San Francisco Mayor - and hardcore racist - James D. Phelan, whose career in the early 20th Century still influences modern San Francisco.

Matt Gubser has been called a Comic's Comic in the Bay Area and has worked with Amy Schumer, was a semi-finalist in the San Francisco Comedy Competition and keeps the Bay Area comedy community informed via his Tumblr blog, mattgubser.tumblr.com. Matt is also on the verge of recording his 2nd album, "Daddy Issues" on April 18th at Doc's Lab in San Francisco. Matt joins Drew and Jim to chat about how he got into doing standup, keeping a busy schedule with three daughters and his other life as a sculptor, as well why he cut his notorious long hair.

Fresh from attending Wrestlemania, Jim is wearing sleeves again to join Drew in Chucklepedia Studios to discuss the famed drunken Chinese poet Li Bai, the hero of everybody who's gotten tipsy on Rice Wine. We also go over Jim's Wrestlemania experience, his nerdy videogame combat tournament as well as how to celebrate St. Patrick's Day like a gentleman and modern Easter traditions. So let it be written, so let it be done.

Pro boxer Casey Morton joins Jim and Drew to discuss how she got into the sport, her training methods, the sacrifices of being a pro boxer, cutting weight and what it's like to actually be in the ring during a fight. We also make fun of Jim for his short little arms and Drew for basically being Glass Joe.

Chucklepedia discusses the life and times of iconic San Francisco oddball Emperor Norton, the penniless man who still dressed like a king, dined at the finest restaurants, made his own currency and was beloved by all. We also chat about the death of Leonard Nimoy, San Francisco gets even more expensive and how damn hard it is to get rid of a couch in the city.

From Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to James and the Giant Peach, The Witches, The BFG and many more, Roald Dahl's odd, sometimes dark and foreboding looks at adulthood and life have shaped the minds of kids and adults for decades all over the world. Jim and Drew take a look at the man, his time as a Flying Ace, his early writing career and how his own actions most likely kept him from achieving the rank of Knight that he desired so much. We also discuss Jim's recent personal achievements with the addition of information Jim didn't know Drew had, buying Lotto tickets just for the fun of dreams and throw our own voices into the din of vaccination discussions.

2015 kicks off for Chucklepedia with Drew and Jim reminiscing about the holidays and how neither of them made any resolutions for the New Year, the awfulness of Spirit Airlines and discuss the so-called Wickedest Man On Earth, Aleister Crowley.
