"Fine" DiningMcDonald's PlayPlace & the McGriddle feat. Chad Damiani [Part Two]They thought I was sent from corporate!

"Fine" DiningAmerica's Largest IKEA feat. Chris Grace [Part Two]"I don't have a lot of respect for a meatball!" IKEA Swedish Bistro has a tough battle if it wants to be taken seriously on its culinary merits. Does it stake its claim as a contender in the pantheon of viable restaurants? Dropout's Chris Grace joins me to evaluate! The Good: The cafeteria set up (for Chris), the garlic bread, many of the desserts, the scenic vista of Griffith Park, and the place is clean The Not Good: The grimy hallway of tray return, the fries, the "fake" feeling made me dissociate, lack of variety, and the ci...

2021-04-1959 minShut Up I Love ItEP 70 - THE FUTURE OF LIVE THEATER with Chad Austin Pierce (Chad Damiani)As we know, "theater is dead, a putrid vessel of the forgotten time. The kind of putrid when the skin becomes wax and raccoons not only feed but make love to what's left of the flesh." These are the quotes from today's interview with Chad Austin Pierce, a distinguished theater actor "from one of the Americas," who's graced the stage at many places we never heard of, like Monte's Carnegie Hall (different from *the* Carnegie Hall).
Chad Austin Pierce, who proudly doesn't own a pen and refers to writers as "scribblers", predicts that standup comedy will save...
