Jonah Raydio

Hey Everybody. It’s a best of holiday spectacular. We go back and give you some of the best gems of the raydio archives. What? Yeah, that’s what is happening.

When I first saw the funnest live television bit ever done, please see link, I honestly forgot that we had the ringleader, Chris Gethard on the show. This show is based in the idea of yelling about punk rock bands at each other and Chris fit right in, then caps it off with a Murder Junkies story. If you want to check out the full episode, find it under Barriganisode in our feed.

Wouldn’t be a year end show without some holiday music, and we hear Ben Ackleys submitted cover of “Last Christmas”

Mike O’Brien has a great show called Advanced Placement Biology on the National Broadcasting Co affiliates. He came on to talk about it and his process in writing using music. We get into a very specific and detailed discussion while providing commentary about his use of Shellac’s’ “End of Radio” and we also commentated on it as well as providing insight. Hear the full episode under Mike O’Brien on our feed

Mark Hoppus is in a band. It’s called Snake Plisken and the I Thought You We’re Deads. Jonahs in it too. Also maybe a mathematician? Something with numbers. Accountant. He was fun. A moth swung by.

We close out with a track from Jenn Champion- Balderdash

Hey guys-

This week we go back in time, back to a strange time known as the summer of 2018. Beach Goth is a festival thrown in the LA area for years by the band The Growlers and through Cash’s job with a beer company, the Jonah Radio boys got in for free. So Neil went out and bought us hats with the ticket money. Great hats.

We wander, we talk, we argue. It was pretty great.

We feature some GWAR stage banter, the song Break Down the Walls from Youth of Today, and Octves song Exact Change

First podcast with Jonah on the road! We were full of piss and vinegar and then Neil took an nap and slept through the beginning of the show. But no matter as we had a great guest in the form of writer/producer Ben Acker. Ben wrote and produced the long running Thrilling Adventure Hour, several comics from your favorite major and minor presses and his newly launched webcomic Kid Midnight.

Ben brings some examples of his songwriting with his buddy Kate Micucci, some covers done by close friends of his and some originals from people we know well enough not to have them sue us.

We talk Ben and his time at a naming company, Skiffle music, Neils trip to interview David Byrne and more. All on this weeks Jonah-less Raydio.

L’Tovah Podcast, guys! Jonah got his voice back and was leaving for London later this afternoon, so we got one in while we were all there. It was a classic JRaydio hang. We did the new Music News (now without jokes!), had a jam session of SFX and music to open the show and Jonah talks about the other podcast he’s getting into.

We are going to be banking some episodes in the coming weeks for when Jonah goes on tour with MST3K, so if you got something you want us to hear, you want to yell at us or need that patented “Big Neil Energy” to push that creative project across the finish line, hit us up at names o’ the show at gmail dot com.

Also, that story about the Beatles having a knuckle shuffle group meeting came out after we recorded, so we don’t touch it.

May The Podcast Come Up and Meet You, everyone! We break our streak of having musicians on to discuss comedy by having a comic on to talk music. It’s Kurt Braunohler! And its a great one!

 

We start with Krishna temples, Edinburgh, and Kurts old video team that took him to the festival. But then Kurt brings us one of the most fun games we’ve played on the podcast. Ladies and gentlemen meet “Shame Face Shuffle”

 

Anybody can play. Pull out your Zune-type music player, put that batboy on Library>Shuffle and hit Next. Most embarrassing entry wins the round. Comedy album, first instance, round loss. Second comedy album, re-roll. Possible Shoot The moon situation with overall “coolest in every round” where ultimate winner can be named ultimate loser. Does that apply to Jonah in this game? Listen to find out…

 

Also a prize pack that Neil and Cash put together from things found inter trucks. Look for that prize package to cross over to Doug Loves Movies soon!

 

See Jonah and Kurt in Our Bits Could Be Your Night in Georgia or Kurt this Friday at the Irvine Improv

Aloha Podcast! Our guest this week is Rob Schrab, director, writer, co-creator of Channel 101 and author/artist/creator of Scud the Disposable Assassin as well as director of the new season of MST3K

 

It starts off great, then Neil gets over his skis with dropping his first contribution to the musical side with a song he got from Spencer on the Harmontown podcast. But then we dive into Robs origins in comedy and how MST3K ties into it. We talk Neils fascination with the stories of Motley Crue but not their music. Robs music video for Death Cab for Cutie song Crooked Teeth

 

We talk the best parts of what Channel 101 has brought to our lives and how the concept of getting paid in fun beats getting paid almost nothing (Shots fired sound at JGL and HitRECord). 

 

We also hearken back to Robs early days and talk his Dead Ale Wives D&D sketch that grew in the early days of the internet and his love for the VHS trading community

 

Then we take a deep dive into Scud, its origins as a comic, the way it helped break Robs career and eventually let to him abandoning the project pre finale, only to return to it years later to give the fans, and himself, the closure it and he needed. He announces a kickstarter to get Scud the color he’s always deserved.

Ted tells us about his Thin Lizzy proselytizing, his times with his early band Chisel and one of his longest held musical regrets. He tells us about his major label meeting that almost talked him into it and we forget the name of the guy who wrote Waiting for Godot and the Mark Wahlberg movie with the intimate behavior on the rollercoaster.

We play Sleeping Bag & Rozwell Kid- Miguel This episode features old friends Clint Trucks, Dave Kloc, Deanna Rooney, and Tony Thaxton.

Second Draft

 

So it all went wrong this time. Our guest, Rob Schrab  put in the wrong address to his GPS and ended up 40 miles away from the studio. We were backed up against our deadline date so we needed to record one to go up today. So we started recording without him, actually called him and did sort of an interview while he sat in traffic. Then Jonah hung up on him and Rob called back and threatened to cut all of Jonahs close ups when he directs MST3K. It was really funny and worked out well and with a great game in the second act of the show we were back on top of the world with forty minutes of a great podcast we had salvaged from the ashes.

 

Then the recorder failed.

 

So we made another one and thats what you’re getting. Rob wouldn’t pick jp when we called back. Neil cheated in the game by using all Jonahs successful answers from the first, now lost, round. We talked band feuds. It was a real experience.

Mahonaraydio is what happens when Jonah has some MST3K-duties and we still have a podcast to put out. Some great music on this episode!

 

We talk Chicago, what worked and what didn’t work. We talk games that you submitted that we didn’t get until after the show. We talk Spirit Airlines and the beginning of a blood feud between us and them that will go for centuries. We talk the proper care of your dark chocolate peanut butter cups. 

 

New Jonah Raydio next week

Sorry so overmodulated. We tended to shout cause we were so excited! It didn’t sound any better live!

 

Warning, it turns out when you have an antagonistic podcast, you get a antagonistic audience.

 

John “Jughead” Pierson from SCREECHING WEASEL and EVEN IN BLACKOUTS got attacked by a wild boar. He gets into the yin/yang of Screeching Weasel, and what then yin gets up to when the yang isn’t around, his experiences with Green Day and Blink 182, and his theater gigs. A guy kept bringing Jonah PBRs. All Time Champion Guest Dave Lyons came thru and flew in to sing “Veronica Hates Me” with Jughead. Jughead also brought games and gift and we got into that. A few folks attempted “Slogans” with Jughead and Jonah finished it up with his own vocalizing on “Peter Brady”.

 

Check out all the shows they do at The North Bar at liveatthenorthbar.com

 

Check out Screeching Weasel and Even In Blackouts online.

 

And a big thanks to all those who came out. A big “go f*ck yourselves” to whoever bought the Malort.

OUT OF CONTEXT QUOTATION

“I learned I can be bought. That’s what I learned”- Bill Corbett on “Meet Dave”

 

Good podcast to y’all. On this weeks installment of the show, we sit down with RIFF TRAX riffing/Crow T Robot playing/Meet Dave screenwritin’ Bill Corbett. We talk riffing on movies, Garrison Keillors creepy behavior, the Masterclass teachings of Steve Martin, Meet Dave and literally dozens more things. It was great, a real treat for all involved. Don’t trust anybody who says otherwise. They’ll have bigger flaws if they’re willing to lie about something like that.

 

Check out RiffTrax live June 14th in Nashville or even in your local theater.

 

And it’s not too late for have US play YOUR game at our live show at the North Bar in Chicago this weekend. Submit your ideas for a game to the email address that is the name of the show at gmail dot com.

“He’s actually pretty tasty with what he does”- Mark Hoppus on Travis Barker

 

Max Fun Drive Part Two. We are joined by gentleman, scholar, and bass player from Jonah’s cover band Mark Hoppus! We talk his roots, how Blink-182 initially got signed from some subtle car stereo placement, and his long history of making references to “making maternal love”. It’s also the final week of Max Fun Drive, so our buddy Lindsey calls in and reminds us of about the true spirit of the season. We learn a lot about ourselves and each other.

 

And as a second reminder of the Max Fun Drive, almost all the music we play is from our performers on our super special music festival Max Fun Bonus episode. Sign up at MaxFun.Org/Donate to get it!
