"I'm Going to Load Up the Heinz" (with Marc Vetri)
This week, Chris and Gab get to talk to one of their favorite chefs, Marc Vetri. Marc talks to them about his appearance on Somebody Feed Phil, what he learned during his time in LA and Italy, and what an experience in his restaurant is all about. Marc also talks to Chris and Gab about the Vetri Community Partnership, what some of his favorite restaurants to eat at in Philly and South Jersey are, and what he thinks of the Eagles, Phillies, and Sixers. Then, Chris and Gab discuss Trea Turner, and the job they have done this year with this podcast. I really thought he was about to say cheese and not ketchup. Thank you so much to Marc for joining us!

Why Isn't Pete Davidson Dating You? (with Charlie Maxx)
Hooboy what an episode. It's cold up here in the northeast, so let's jump right in. This week, Chris and Gab are joined by radio personality and Staten Island native Charlie Maxx. Charlie and Chris discuss how they got to work together and what Charlie has been up to since then.

If I Could Sound Philly For a Second (with Marilyn Russell)
We're back after a week off! Unfortunately the Phillies did not win the World Series. We will spend no more time talking about it. To brighten our mood, Chris and Gab are joined by longtime Philadelphia radio personality Marilyn Russell! Marilyn talks about all the different experiences in her career, her decision to move out to Arizona where she currently resides, and Gab's favorite, her food Instagram account! Chris, Gab and Marilyn all discuss how much their lives have all intersected, even though this is the first time they are all meeting. Marilyn also discusses her Women of the Week/Marilyn's Remarkable Women segment, and her potential future podcasting plans? This conversation is making us hungry. We'll see you next week!

Fluent in Google Translate! (with PJ and Chris Cline)
This is an episode of updates. The first update comes from our Untethered Travelers - PJ and Chris Cline! PJ and Chris join Chris and Gab and talk about what they have been doing, and where they have been, since they last spoke on the pod many months ago (in case you were wondering - 5 countries and 29 stops!). PJ and Chris talk about the sights, how their perspective has shifted since they first began their travels, and where they see themselves potentially settling down. Then, we move onto our second update - the Phillies are going TO THE WORLD SERIES! That's right, this is the last episode you have to hear us talk about it. Chris and Gab ruminate on what The Series good bring, a truly ridiculous Phillies season, and hopefully you can feel the joy we are all feeling on this end. Name that movie - Bill Murray, Scarlett Johansson, and a Tokyo hotel. See you in two weeks! Show Music Provided By: Music: www.purple-planet.com

I had my Walkman with me, my Top Gun Soundtrack (with Claire Bartholic)
This week, Chris and Gab talk about how she had a hell of a weekend last weekend - the first part being that she ran a half marathon! Our guest this week is only fitting then. Chris and Gab talk to Claire Bartholic, aka The Planted Runner, a plant-based running and mindset coach. Claire talks to Chris and Gab about her story with running, her very honest feelings about it, and the important elements leading up to running a marathon that are often overlooked, like nutrition and strength training. She also tells them how she got into being a running coach, her podcast The Planted Runner, and shares some exciting news. To finish the episode, Chris and Gab discuss the other great part of the weekend, the Phillies moving on to the NLCS! Apparently we have to talk about it every week now.

I'm Picking Them Up From the Aiport! (with Jason Lee)
A guest so nice, we asked him on twice. Being a Philly sports fan right now is kind of... fun? Chris and Gab invite WPHL's Sports Scene's Jason Lee back on to discuss. Jason tells them a few fun updates since he was last on the show, and then they get to the heart of it. Chris, Jason and Gab talk about the Phillies and their current playoff streak, an undefeated Eagles team and the ways they've learned to adjust to make themselves that much better this year, and then how fun the Sixers look, and how not fun the Flyers look. They also discuss how difficult it is to do anything except a live show with how quickly the news goes. Oh well - small problems and fun times. Go Phillies!

And When I Regained Consciousness About Ten Mins Later (with Andre Gardner)
This little podcast is at 30 episodes! The Phillies have made the playoffs! What a joyous Wednesday. Chris endures Gab's "I Told You So" moment like a champion.

Andre shares his experience as a Beatles expert and fan boy, talks about his love of classic rock and how he got into the biz, and some of his all-time favorite interview stories. Plus, Andre dives into how his very first radio studio came to be, and his favorite Beatles tracks. A true voice of a backyard with a pool in the summer.  Show Music Provided By: Music: www.purple-planet.com

Accidental Brilliance (with Dave Raymond)
*Heads up! We touch quickly on the topic of mental health issues in this episode, and wanted to make sure you knew prior to hitting play* Good news! Major League Baseball didn't sue us, so we're back with a new episode this week. Chris and Gab jumped right into it with their promised guest from last week - he's green, he's furry, and he's here on vacation from the Galapagos Islands, the original Philadelphia Phanatic, Dave Raymond! Dave talks to Chris and Gab about the creation of the Phanatic in it's current form, behind-the-scenes interactions that went into shaping the Phanatic's personality, and the journey that led him to move on from the character. He also talks about whether or not he has beef with Tommy LaSorda (RIP), his keynote The Power of Fun, and the importance of doing things that make you happy. Honestly, there's a lot more in this interview that we simply cannot cover in the info section. Give it a listen. Also, stay tuned next week for the Chris vs. Gab debate to find out who is right.
