After a month off (you’re welcome) Biff and Jacques are back to shoot the shit about everything and nothing. Know what else is back … Jacques tragic audio engineering skills … couldn’t get mixer and his mic to work … so this is all zoom audio baby! UGH. Jacques took his family on a 650 mile road trip JUST to watch Karate Kid triple feature at Mahoning Drive In in Lehighton PA, was a BLAST … two weeks later big Solar tried to shut down the 72 year old theater … was Jacques the hero that saved it?...

Comedian Sally Mullin’s joins Biff and Jacques to talk about her stand up special “Sleazy Does It” (which is an absolutely hysterical hour of brutally cringeworthy awesomeness), How she’s been killing it in the zoom comedy world over lock down and how she balances all this with HER podcast (PORN MOM PODCAST) and her FAN’S ONLY (@MsJamieFoster) work. As always, Jacques wouldn’t STFU but Sally was able to talk about mentoring comics and adult film talent as well as talk the ups and downs of creati...

Biff and Jacques talk a shitty week on the set of the slip n slide reality TV show, the updates on Jacques’ reality show and feature script. We talk the passing of Frank Booner … aka Herb Tarlek (a true TV hero of Jacques’.) CP honors this legend with the replaying of the WKRP parody (by @Model_CHP3Y on Twitter and Youtube) Olympics are starting in Japan … Whether the folks there want it or not. And Jacques fails AGAIN at Biff’s game … guess the porn star. GOP fights to NOT have Jan. 6th investi...

You might not agree with all our movie picks and that’s ok. You’re allowed to be wrong. Biff and Jacques break down the summer’s big releases into 4 categories: See in a theater, see at a drive-in, wait for streaming and gouge your own eyes out to avoid seeing.

No … Really … He did… Or might have … he was there AND was (seriously) a mob hit man. Jacques left the house and went to … a Carnival… It’s also Jacques’ birthday which he says he doesn't care but talked about it and the BEST birthday present he EVER got (and he’s had GF who were … “adventurous.”) Covid updates, MORE heinous Crime in Japan and how DO you bankrupt a blog? GOP gave Lee Harvey some shout outs on Memorial Day. Biff talks NHL and are the FNH guys gonna file a class action suit agains...

39 years later Jacques FINALLY watched Blade Runner. Biff creates a new way to see if Jacques can tell Japanese woman apart with a new game called Find The Porn Star. Seems the last administration DIDN’T fix the millennia old middle east problems and the GOP redefines the term “field trip”. Jacques drives by his old girlfriends (sports radio) house to remind himself how he’s over them/it. The NHL playoffs week one hasn’t disappointed and FINALLY some video game talk as Resident Evil 8 has been p...

Christmas in April, as Joe makes his triumphant return to CPP on this supersized episode. If you were looking to hear what two middle-aged white dudes and a middle-aged Asian guy’s thoughts are on the passing of DMX and Little Nas X’s twitter timeline were, you came to the right place! With all the time Matt Gaetz spends with teenage girls, you’d think one of them would have shown him how to make his Venmo transactions private. Also seems the GOP are the new kings of Cancel Culture as they try t...

Make the calls. Make the calls. Make the calls. This week Biff and Jacques welcome longtime friend Al to chat his decades long career of selling happiness.

When the world goes sideways (natural disasters, once in a century pandemic made 10x worse by lack of empathy and leadership) … everyday people (metaphorically) put on tights and capes and fly to the rescue. This week’s guest is one of those heroes. Our friend Abby whom helped an AMAZING local charity organization do INCREDIBLE things from the very onset of the March 2020 Covid shut down.

This week’s sideshow Biff and Jacques’ guest Matt, has a dead-end job. Yet, there is a lot of stiff competition at his work. You know how sometimes living people become not living people … since his early teens, Matt’s worked in the LEGAL (important to point that out) body removal business. Working at the funeral home his grand-dad started, Matt is the funniest guy to drive a hearse since Michael Keaton in Nightshift. Matt also rocks the mic as a college sports PA announcer and can’t wait to get...

Jacques finally pays for a live-stream (Patton Oswald) worth the money! Boys chat it’s GREAT to see FNH pal JT on MSNBC but sadly because he’s representing the family of a guy shot by cops for being black while holding an Ice Tea. Fiercely independent, totally unregulated Texas needs AOC and Beta to put on capes and play superhero, Biff talks bukkake (no really, he does) and from the CP Vault (Ep. 130 2/24/20) Joe’s Self-Indulgent Theater - Emo Phillip’s sings Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air theme.

Dr. Ross Salawitch is a Professor of Atmospheric Chemistry at The University Of Maryland. He’s like our own Captain Planet. With President Biden instantly rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement, we thought talking with Ross, whose book, “Paris Climate Agreement: Beacon Of Hope” which is a road map of how to actually achieve the goals of the agreement would be a refreshing change of pace from Jacques’ fart jokes and Biff’s wildly inaccurate NHL predictions. Download Dr. Salawitch’s book FOR FREE f...

The Fraternal Order of FNH steps in to help right a wrong … How do you turn away a 95-year old WW2 hero showing up to get his Covid Vaccination? Easy, asked the clowns in Glendale AZ.

Biff and Jacques chat the Great Willie O’Ree. The Bruins, a little late to the dance, are finally retiring Willie’s #22 he wore in 1958 when he broke the color barrier. Biff tells of a personal interaction with Willie in Santa Monica, CA a few years back. Biff also points out while Willie’s number being retired most likely was a positive step brought on by the BLM movement, the NHL has a long way to go to make their “Hockey Is For Everyone” program a true outreach. We highly suggest following (a...

Jacques and Joe (record scratch) … Jacques and BIFF? After unsuccessful attempts to beg, bribe and blackmail Joe to return to CP, Jacques cons long-time friend, long time hockey team mate (and former CP guest) Biff to co-pilot.
