In this episode Zach writes about the second disinfection trip that Tony and him were asked to go on. A two and half hour road trip to Davenport Iowa so that they can disinfect a gigantic John Deere factory. It was intimidating, scary, and tons of fun. It broke up the monotony of the pandemic and allowed us to have a bit of meaning in these trying times. They also get to stay the night in a Best Western Plus, meet some drunken scuba diving welders, buy too much beer, eat two much fast food, and get in a fight about Hardies and whether or not it sucks...Enjoy! 

In this episode Zach pleasures our earholes with his writing on the first disinfection that the two chooches had during their Quarantine travels. Zach explains what it was like to go to an abandoned building and fight the virus in what he describes as a time capsule from before the pandemic. Afterwards Tony hits Zach with the questions as they break down that moment of the pandemic and the importance it played in the rest of their travel guide. They also get reeeeeaaaaaal choochie up in here and talk about the typical hijinks that make them like. This is Chooch Chat. 

In this episode Zach and Tony each write a piece bridging the gap between the initial shut down and their first trip as hired guns to fight the rona. A true Chooch Chat follows both written pieces. We touch on initial reactions, fear, anger, tensions rising. We were all there, we all remember! Take care of yourselves, take care of each other. Don't work too hard. Don't. Stop. Working.

In this podcast Tony takes his turn at recalling his first experiences with the Corona Virus and what he was doing at the time Zach was in New Orleans. explains the situation he was in physically and how it changed him for the rest of his life. Then Zach and him finish the podcast with a quick question and answer and a bunch of yelling...in typical fashion....Enjoy!

Here is part 2 of Chooch Chat's "A Quarantine Travel Guide." In this episode a couple of Long Beach 7s talk about the start of the quarantine. Zach specifically revisits the trip he was on to New Orleans, LA as the world around him shut down. It's spooky. We were all there, living it, just maybe not right there in New Orleans with Zach. In fact, a surprising few people were there in New Orleans. Find out more by listening! Then, when you're done, don't work too hard. But don't stop working.

This new episode of Chooch Chat is the kick off to a series of episodes outlining what these chooches got into over the last year during the pandemic, when maybe, or maybe not, they should have been quarantining. This episode, as well as the episodes to follow, will be quite different as we will take pieces of writing that we wrote or will write over the last year and read them on the show. Never fear though as we will still chooch chat about what was written at the end of each episode. Thank you for listening. Don't work too hard. Don't stop working.

Episode Notes In this episode Zach and Tony finally break. They realize they are the most basic of basics...They watched Ghosts of Girlfriends Past with Matthew McConaughey, They went to Chipotle, And then watch Naked, a romantic comedy on Netflix starring Marlon Wayans....it was a date night....they also talk about the new bidet that Tony recently installed in his bathroom and how good it works. Zach mentions how fit he is and how bruised thighs are...After that they go over The Twit of The News, everyones favorite segment where they break down the weeks news in twitter headlines. Enjoy!

Episode Notes In this episode Tony explains to Zach his plan on becoming a pimp. They talk about pricing and the economics of pimping. There are lots of questions and lots of googling going on. Turns out the pimp game is hard and the pricing is all over the place. They learn a lot though... Later on they get into the twit of the news, they talk about chiropractors, the state of the world, earning life, and Chicago in general. Welcome to Chooch Chat! (insert meme of Will Smith punching alien.)

Episode Notes In this week's episode Zach and Tony yell about a litany of things with their old pal Brian Gartland. They talk about sports, and football for a second...then Brian introduced them to the "Ass Game" where you put the word ass in front of any professional team name. He obviously knows a good time and what show he is on. They talk about how dumb they are. Somewhere between a box of rocks and hammers. Selling Zach sexually for money and fun comes up at one point. They have a food draft on best delivery food. Then to end it Brian and Zach get suuuuper defensive about their lease for some reason. Just crazy....

Episode Notes In this episode Tony and Zach totally DON'T have a guest with them and they are instead doing a BANG UP impression of a close and personal friend. They talk about quarantine experiences of others. The difficulties and struggles of coming out of a quarantine and pandemic...coughFuckTheBankscough. Yoga gets brought up some more but this time its in an attempt to heal injuries from working out while getting old. Then we promote some new content. Listen to the whole thing to become privy to some pretty dope new content. Put your best foot forward while we continue to come out of this quarantine. Love, Peace, and Chicken Grease.

Tony is left alone again in the darkness of the Chooch Studio. Zach is on vacation and bad things keep happening...coincidence? One may never know. What we do know is that Chadwick Boseman passed away this weekend. It was truly heartbreaking and surprising news. Tony does his best to put into words the tragedy and why the loss of his life at such a young age is the loss of a possible generational leader. Sometimes life doesn't add up and this is one of those moments. Be good and be safe everyone. Life is a gift. Rest In Peace and power to Chadwick Boseman Also Tony screams about how he might have gout at the end of the podcast. So it's not all depressing. All Love. Love All. Hugs and Kisses.

31 Episode Notes This week Tony forgot to do a podcast...So he had to do what he calls a "Spooky" because it was 2am in the morning. The lesson to be learned here is: When you are dedicated you show up...also don't be dummy. Tony feverishly talks about his past hangovers and current ones as well. He takes you through the worst thing he's done to himself in months with the Clam Chowder Incident. He also rambles about bigfoot and the chicago moth man. He's tired so he latches on to anything his feeble mind can focus on and he talks mad chooch about it all. He's a mad man but he loves you... Zach is on vacation. Screw Zach

30 Episode Notes In this episode Tony puts Zach on the hot seat after Zach takes an edible. Zach is immediately intimidated and scared of the word association game that Tony administers to the big fella. All in the name of science, of course. His face turned red and sweat began to pour from his brow. He began to complain about the line of questioning almost instantly. "Is it hot in here?" "Why don't I say words to you?!" If this was an interrogation...Zach knew it...and he knew he was in it up to his neck... They also talk about sports and watching them in the bubbles. No audiences. Kind of like this show. They also get into their favorite segment The Twit Of The News, and try to figure out what the hell is going on in the world...only through the titles and headlines. Also Zach stole Tony's water and is a turd....It was a big deal...

29 Episode Notes In this episode Zach and Tony rally to put on a classic episode of yelling and making each other laugh about everything. They drank the night before so they loaded up on vitamins and yoga before the mics got hot. They walk down memory lane in the haze that is theirs minds. They visit previous drinking expeditions they've had through-out the years and through-out the world. They also talk about game shows and how fun they are, and wouldn't it be wonderful to ever be on one...Then they do a live draft of the best game shows ever. Top 5! It was a tight race and some good choices came up. After that they twit the news and chooch the headlines in twit of the news. They solved nothing and learned less. Enjoy this week's episode! We love you! Peace!

28 Episode Notes In this episode Zach and Tony finally get a chance to interview the co-owner of their favorite bar in the city, Laschet's Inn! Scott Seisser!

25 Episode Notes In this episode....Zach is Back! From the opening to the end people! That's a wonderful thing. They are up to their old hi-jinks, diving into the black hole that is their daily existential crisis. And poop and sex jokes of course. They get into the twit of the news and try to figure out what's happening in the world without actually reading the articles. Tom Cruise stops by during a facetime and they have a good conversation about nothing. Love that Tom Cruise... Brian Cox....yoked...Love you all Peace!
