The 406 Podcast

Recorded in December 2021 during the Omicron surge, this solo episode finds Chewie checking in during the holiday season to share a candid, first-person account of his decision to get a COVID booster.
While picking up his son from basketball practice, Chewie talks about illness scares during flu season, parenting through finals week, and weighing risk, immunity, and personal health during a time of uncertainty.
This episode is presented as an archived time-capsule from the pandemic era. It is not medical advice or a debate—just an honest snapshot of how decisions were made with the information available at the time.

Chewie and Pip are ranking their Top Five Favorite Cop Movies!
Inspired by Pip's longtime friend DK, a police officer and fan of the podcast, the guys establish one important rule: the movies need to feature actual cops. That means FBI agents and other law enforcement don't count.
Their lists span decades and genres with Super Troopers, RoboCop, L.A. Confidential, Die Hard, Serpico, Seven, Heat and Tango & Cash all entering the conversation.
They also reveal honorable mentions, debate movies that barely missed their lists, and discuss everything from Paul Verhoeven and David Fincher to Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Bruce Willis, Kurt Russell and Sylvester Stallone.

After previously ranking their Top 5 favorite power ballads, the guys return to reveal picks #6 through #10. This time the selections go deeper, with songs from Martika, Damn Yankees, Sheriff, Journey, Slaughter, Warrant, KISS, Sammy Hagar, Winger and Poison.
Along the way they talk about Jani Lane's songwriting, Steve Perry's vocals, underrated bands and singers, school dances, skating-rink nostalgia, memorable live performances and the sometimes fuzzy definition of what actually qualifies as a power ballad.
They finish with honorable mentions from Kix and Survivor—and acknowledge that there are still enough great songs left for another episode.
