Royally Good Times

Chad was granted the unprecedented honor of receiving an invitation to the wedding of the year, as Meghan Markle became Duchess of Sussex upon her marriage to Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex so listen to the tale of jet lag, Stonehenge and why you don't wear a tux on a plane. Strap this on your head.

Incel Inside

Deep down in the dark web, there are internet dwellers called Incels that believe they are owed sex simply cuz they are alive but they are being denied this sex because Alpha males are taking all the sex. They call these A-Males: Chads. So there's.... that.

Eat Your Feelings

On February 14th 2018, 17 teenagers were murdered by a gunman in Parkland, FL. So the news ain't so great. Wasn't much of anything else to Chad about so it's back to the ol Criterion Collection. Chad pulls a story from 2013 about scientific discoveries involving Cannibalism in Jamestown (you know, to help cope) and ends up getting hungry. That's where we're at.

Super Balls

It's that time of the year! Frosty winds, hot dishes and friends gathering for that most sacred of potlucks: The SuperBowl. But if you're really watching it for the commercials than maybe there's a problem. Chad is back and outta the Bunker to talk about the history of the SuperBowl's Half-Time show as we pause to ponder if it's really just all about the nachos. 

Featuring "Promises" by the Barreracudas, that ol chestnut.

Please rate and review because that's what the cools kids are doing these days. 

Water We Waiting For

Well their assignment is up and Clark and Chad have one more night in the Bunker for the Resistance. To celebrate they unearth a classic from 2013 about the Water Sommelier of LA and Chad invents a new party word that's totally gonna catch on. 

Includes the song "Promises" by the Barreracudas cuz that's the ol chestnut.

Candy or Mildly Interesting, Less Upsetting News

It's one more week before Chad and Clark are released from duty for the Resistance and it's a good thing too because it's starting to get boring over there. Luckily they dust off an old chestnut from 4/20 2013 called "Candy News" and neither of them have any idea what it's about. Could be about candy, could be about pot but it's probably about when they caught the Boston Marathon Bomber, so hold on cuz anything is better than nothing. 

If you have a business or money and would like to sponsor the Chad Cast please email: thebirdchad@gmail.com

Thanks to the Barreracudas and they know why.

Hamm on the Boners

Cabin fever is setting in as Chad and Clark stick out the rest of their assignment in the Resistance sequestered in the Bunker, going through old Chad stories from 2013. Chad pulls a vintage classic about John Hamm and his phallic photographic scandal. Come snuggle with them as they discuss Time, Vans and melting stuff. You know, typical bro stuff. 

Chad will be back at the Machete on February 10th, bringing YOU up-to-date stories of your world but in the meantime, it's been a slog not workin the room and they're super broke, so if you have a business or like money to burn and would like to sponsor the Chad Cast, please email: thebirdchad@gmail.com and keep these boys in burritos. 

Special thank to The Barreracudas for their kickass song "Promises" which will never leave us.

Shteir Shtraights

Three weeks into 2018 and it's getting heavy. Chad and Clark are hunkered in the bunker doin secret work for the Resistance and while taking a snow break, they discover an old treasure trove of vintage Criterion Chad-Classic recordings from 2013. Clark chooses to spin one about author Rachel Shteir and her controversial comments about the state of affairs in Chicago. Simpler times, man, simpler times. 

Warning: Contains FACTS and mispronunciations.

Rate and Review and we'll send you a flirty look. 

Joint Sessions

Chad got a shore leave from the Resistance to wander out of the bunker and check in on things. After learning of Attorney General Jeff Sessions rescinding the Obama-era memo that the Feds were gonna chill on weed crimes so the states can start making it legal, he and Clark call a little 420 filibuster, so put this episode in your pipe and smoke it because when they go low... Anyway what were we talking about?

Bunker Down

Happy New Year, America! Chad and Clark hunker down to do some super secret work for the Resistance and in the process find an old album of Vintage Criterion Chad Classics from 2013 so they spin the wheel and choose one to chill too as they get to work on 2018. HUNKER DOWN, PUNKS!

A Special Star Wars Holiday Special ...Special

The Last Jedi is in theaters and it kicks ass (no spoilers) but it's a Butt-Hurt Fansmas Eve on the Internet, as many claim this was in fact the worst thing Star Wars has ever done... to which Chad says "Hold my blue milk" because that already happened and it was called "The Star Wars Holiday Special". Chad invites (kidnaps) ChadCast alum Jennifer Betancourt and Clark to watch the special so you don't have to and then with the help of the Wikipedia page, they scrape the ass-end of the Outer Rim so we can all gain perspective. Happy Life Day. 

Warning: Contains facts.
