We talk about what it was like growing up in the local Chicago music scene in the '60s and '70s, his days working in radio, Billy Joel crashing in his bathtub, and lots more. I had an absolute blast sitting down with my old man and I hope you guys enjoy it just as much.

Cheers!

Join Little Miss Mystery as she tries to solve another riddle. This week's case is "Jammed Into A Corner"

Halloween episode tonight!!!! Our favorite night of the year and we're joined by a very special guest, Dave Schwantes from the band Grave Danger. Talk about a perfect guest for the occassion. Dave is the everyman from the Chicago based gothic ska band. Inspired by Halloween and all it's glory, Grave Danger is like the Misfits of ska. Spooky music never sounded so upbeat. We sit and talk with Dave for the first half of the show then dive into some quick music news, and then close out the night with a Halloween horror movie edition of "Fake or Real". You guys can find Grave Danger on all social media platforms and check out their tunes on Spotify and Band Camp. Big thanks again to Dave for driving out to the burbs to get stupid with us for a little bit. Cheers!!!

Little Miss Mystery is a tiny crime solver roaming the mean streets searching for justice and solving the toughest mysteries. Join her as she tries to decipher each case with her Sherlock like intuition. Case #1 is the mystery of the missing man. 

There wasn't much to cover in the world of music news so we decided to have a bunch of beers and wax poetic about the '90s and how it come full circle in the world of pop culture and fashion. Also, there's a couple of easter eggs in tonight's episode. Cheers!!

Tonight we're joined by Billy & Dan from Missouri's very own Lucid Paradoxx!! We've known these two dudes for many, many years and it was nothing short of amazing to sit down and catch up for a little bit and talk about their killer new single, "Rain". Make sure you check out Lucid Paradoxx on all social media platforms and get up on their amazing music.

Shows have been few and far between during these covid/quarantine times but I'm happy to say that WE'RE BACK!!! Well, not 100% but we were able to get together this past weekend and turn the mics on and  have way too much fun. No seriously, we played what might go down as the funniest game in the history of the show. Trust me on this. Local beers, music news, some incredible female artists, and Jim reading the lyrics to W.A.P. Tonight we cover Daft Punk calling it quits, the Keith Richards cockroach, Trey Anastasio's Divided Sky foundatin and summer tour tease, the Wiggles covering Tame Impala, Mike Patton singing the TMNT theme for the new video game, and more. Do yourself a favor and hang in there for FAKE OR REAL at the end of the show. It's worth it. 

Live from the Drunken Koi it's our first episode in over 7 months!!! It felt awesome to turn the mics on again, have a few beers, and bullshit the night away. We scrapped the bottom of the barrel tonight for what little music news is out there. We talk a little about the best way to support your local venues and favorite bands during quarantine, a 12 year Mariah Carey getting pimped out by her sister, what exactly DJ Khaled does, new music from Elton John and Gorrilaz, and new Phish related game to close it out. 

Man, what a great show tonight. Sometimes the best nights are when we just open things up and talk about whatever. Jim and I are joined by close friends Cameron Clark and John Tashjian. Cam tends bar at our favorite local spot and was nice enough to bring over our suds for the night courtesy of Cary Ale House. John is a veteran guest having been on the show in years past. He gives us a glimpse into the Chicago piano bar scene and what he's been up to recently. He also supplied the tunes for the evening!! We featured a new game tonight "Rock n Roll Fact or Fiction", kind of a test run for a new game idea. Make sure you check us out on Spotify or wherever podcast are found or just google 2 Assholes Talking Music.

Another great show lined up tonight!! Our old friend and Wrigleyville bar owner, Russ Bishop, stops by for a few beers and talks about navigating the entertainment landscape as a bar owner, our choices if we got to pick the Super Bowl halftime show, and our thoughts about Dave Matthews Band, for some reason. Close it out with Fake or Real and call it night! Episode #108 in the vault. Make sure to check out the show anywhere podcasts are found like Tune In Radio, Spotify, Stitcher....just search 2 Assholes Talking Music. Cheers!!!

This week we sat down with local hooligans, The Delusion Squad and tore it up down in the new bar studio. But seriously, not only are these guys great musicians making some really far out sounds but they're also all solid dudes. We might of had a little too much fun but that's pretty much how we figured it was going to go down. The Delusion Squad is a relatively new band so we kept the chatter pretty simple, played a few games, and featured their new track "Pimp With a Limp".

Big thanks again to Andy, Mickey, & Charlie for stopping over for a few rounds and a great hang!! They haven't got all the sites set up yet so check them out on Facebook for the time being. Cheers!!

Our big Halloween episode and we're joined by special guests Noah and Evan from Triguna. Insanely talented prog/tech/death/brutal fill-in-the-blanks band from the Chicago suburbs. We're talking about their new EP, Candied Lemons, they dropped over the summer, the overall unique sound of the band, some horror movie trivia, vocal frying techniques, and more. Since it's Halloween we busted out the Fake or Real: Horror Movie edition and short horror movie quiz. Big thanks to Noah and Evan for traveling out in the cold rain and letting us bug them for a little bit and thanks to the rest of Triguna for making some truly eclectic metal. Do not sleep on this band!!!

One of my favorite things about doing this show is getting everything prepared just right before we open the mics only to have it completely derail once we turn on said mics. Tonight was one of those shows. We're a little short on news tonight so decided to just fold up the show and have a good ol' fashioned rant session. Granted, we did manage to fit a few stories in like James Hetfield going back to rehab, Kanye making the switch to gospel, and an interesting study in music listening habits across the globe. Well, after that. Let's just say the drinks were flowing and we got a little long winded. Everything from how old white people are ruining social media, millenials getting blamed for everything, toxic nostalgia, people who say stupid shit like, "every one is offended these days" and a few other gems.

However, we did manage to right the ship at the end of the show and squeeze in some great Chicago punk from the band Cuddle Riot. Buckle up because it's a bumpy fucking ride!!

We're alive!!! After what seemed like our longest break in show history the stars aligned and we turned the mics back on for another amazing show. Just Jim and Ryan this week as we shake off the dust and get back in the groove. We kept things fairly simple tonight and did what we do best, roast the week in music news. But wait, there's more!! We've been getting a lot of music submissions lately and figured it was time to start putting some stuff on the broadcast. We got a nice little hat trick for you guys tonight with great tunes from Chicago punk rock outfit Death and Memphis, some alternative hip hop from Missouri with Piston Honda, and we close out of DJ PhyEdison. If you happened to catch the original botched episode of #104 PhysEd was our guest but due to a computer glitch we had to scrap the audio. Either way we're super stoked to be back with you guys for cold beers and lots of great music. Cheers!!

Tonight we have a very special guest, Jim's brother and all around bad ass American Capt. Jack Somers!!! We sit down for a few beers and roast the week in music news and get all the details on what Jack is doing to help veterans across the country with his multiple business ventures. From helping relocate families when military spouses have to move and helping small business veterans get their companies up and running. Dude can do it all!! I'm surprised we even got through this show. Waaaay too many beers and laughs were hard, such a great night catching up and talking shit. Our game for tonight is Fake or Real featuring bands from the upcoming Lollapalooza festival this summer. Big thanks again to Jack for taking time out on his trip home to screw around with Jim and me. Cheers!!

We switched gears tonight and decided that instead of music we'd talk a little Hollywood. We had the pleasure to spend some time with an old friend and actress, Kelsey Collins Keener!! She gave us an inside look on what it takes to make it in L.A., her time on Arrested Development, her upcoming movie "Paradise Cove", and I can't really remember what else because we might have drank too much. Thank again to Kelsey for putting up with our shit for a few hours. The 2 Assholes wish her nothing but success and good health in the future. Cheers!!  

This past weekend we snuck in back stage and had a quick chat with the boys from Mungion!! They were nice enough to take a few minutes before going on stage and putting on one of the best shows I've seen in recent memory. Seriously, they blew the ass off that place!!
Joe Re and Sean Carolan join us for the first half and Matt Kellen and Justin Reckamp jump in a little later. We talk about the new album Ferris Wheel's Day Off, the story behind the song Basketball, Sean's all-time all power forward starting 5, local beers, and more. We even talked them in to a round White Boy Theater before they split. Big thanks and much love to the entire Mungion crew for having us out and for the insane show. Cheers!!

Just put the headphones on and let it ride out. Some super chill sounds that will allow your mind to melt into your body.

We get into all details about that, the upcoming North American tour, they teach us how to growl, we talk video games, and a bunch of other stuff. We wrapped it up with a round of Guess That Video and a sneak peek at a brand new track off the new album. Oh and there was alcohol involved. I feel like at this point that goes without saying. That and so much more tonight on a brand new episode of 2 Assholes Talking Music. Big thanks and much love again to Starkill for taking time out of their hectic schedule to chat with us. We love you guys and hope nothing but the best with this new album. Cheers!!!

Another low key show tonight as we close in on our big 100th episode blow out. More details to follow on that one. Tonight we're just crushing cans and roasting the week in music news. Stories include the elaborate hoax of Threatin', own a piece of Dead's head, the best band break up ever, fans having sex at a Machine Head concert, some metal Christmas music, and more. Our WTF Band for tonight is an obscure '70s era gem for the diehard kazzo fans out there. We close it out with a do not miss round of Fake or Real.

Just Jim and Ryan in the studio tonight, keeping things low key while we gear up for our 100th episode and nurse the hangover from ep.#97 w/ Starkill. Tonight we're drinking cheap beer and ripping the week in music news. On the docket for evening is Iron Maiden telling the Rock Hall of Fame to piss off, new line of beer from Opeth, an actual scientific study on people who listen to death metal, the new Slipknot single, the story behind Pearl Jam's "Jeremy", Maroon 5 is picked for the Super Bowl halftime show, the Ja Rule/50 Cent beef continues and more. A new WTF Band with a bit of a political slant, if you will and we close it out with a round of White Boy Theater.

We've been trying for months and we finally convinced STARKILL to join us in the lab for a night of debauchery!! Parker, Tony, Shaun, and Sarah stopped by for some Q&A, lots of drinking, and some Halloween themed games. We covered everything from the asshatery of sound scans to the new album to Parker's high school ska band and how each member made their way into the band. Well, there's a lot of stuff in between so don't miss a second of what the reviews are already calling the most talked about podcast of 2018. Not sure if that's true but we're going with it.

We treated the band to some Halloween trivia and a round of FAKE OR REAL: The Horror Movie Edition and feature some music off their the upcoming album. The 2 Assholes want to thank everyone, including friend of the show, producer Matt Nitz, for stopping by and spending some time with us and letting us make everyone uncomfortable for a few hours. Keep an eye out for the new STARKILL album and in the meantime go out and celebrate their back catalogue because it will blow your socks off. Oh and we can't forget about Spencer, aka Spen-Goolie. He wasn't able to make the show but he was with us in spirit. Cheers and enjoy the show!!!

We're celebrating our 7th birthday tonight with some great local brew from Scorched Earth and ripping the week in music news!! We'll be off the next couple of weeks so we decided to just keep it simple. Lots to cover this week like the death of Aretha Franklin, elderly men escaping to Walken Open Air Festival, Rihanna being named Most Influencial Artist of the 21st century, Roger Daltry on the state of rap, Conan nixes musical guests, and more! We feature some music from our friends in Thy Antichrist, play White Boy Theater, and close it out with Jim on the turntables laying it down. We finally got on Instagram and Spotify so check that out too. Cheers!!

Tonight we'red joined by local heavy hitters Wings Of Severance ahead of their headlining show at KC's Cabin. We've been wanting to get these guys on the show for sometime and it was worth the wait. We had a blast with the boys drinking cheap beer, talking shop, and they even agreed to a round of Guess That Video. They weren't half bad either. We also feature some music from their latest release, Welcome to the Afterlife. Make sure you pick up a copy of the album on iTunes, Amazon Music, Spotify, and Google Play and grab some gear over at wingsofseverance.com

Big shout out to our local beer for the night, 2 Brothers, out of Warrenville, IL. and the rest of the crew from Elephant Gun that couldn't make it out.

We had a whole show planned out for tonight but it all kinda got shot to hell. Instead of cracking some beers and roasting the week in music news we deiced to flip the script a bit and crack some beers and rant about a few things that have been bugging us. Mainly, the positives and negatives of social media, people attacking the kids from the school shooting in Parkland, FL and a few other random things. We had a great WTF Band lined up tonight and everything but since things jumped the rails a little bit the majority of the show is us getting drunk and ranting. It's not as bad as it sounds. Or is it?

However, we did manage to wrangle things at the end and pull out a game of TWEET or TWIT and feature a great band, KNOWER. Typically, we've been featuring local music but since we distracted ourselves we changed gears for the evening. We promise that we have lots of great local music scheduled for upcoming shows. Our background music for the evening is a cut off the Chill-hop Essentials Spring 2018 compilation titled, "Otesla". Plus, a shout out to our local brew for the night Tight Head out Mundelin, IL. Very tasty and strong ales that helped fuel our rants for the night.

We're back in the studio tonight after our backstage interview with members of Thy Antichrist after their sold out Chicago show the other weekend. Per usual, the beers are flowing, courtesy of local brewery Scorched Earth, and the music news is ready to be shredded. This week on we got Tommy Lee Twitter beefing with his son, Jeffery Nothing leaves Mushroomhead, the Fyre Festival founder goes down in flames, Migos being sued by their own fans, the underground rave scene in London is back, Liam Gallagher still sucks, the Justin Bieber bomber is sentenced, Fergie's rendition of the National Anthem strikes all the wrong chords, Stranger Things' Finn Wolfhard and his new band, and more. We dig into our bag of tricks for another WTF Band and this time is comes to us from the Porno Grind genre. Yes, it sounds like you'd expect. Another round of Fake or Real featuring bands from the last ever VANS Warped Tour. We close out the show with some killer local music from Meat Wave who recently kicked off their spring tour in Chicago this past weekend. Seriously, if you don't know about this band get on top of that. Big thanks to our local beer tonight, Hickster, from Algonquin, IL's very own Scorched Earth Brewing and our sponsor relobase.com. Things get a little, well, drunk I think would be the best way to describe but I know you've come to expect that at this point. Play it loud and proud, it's another episode of 2 Assholes Talking Music!!!

We were able to catch up w/ founder and frontman of Thy Antichrist, Andres"Thy Antichrist 666" Vargas, after their set @ Reggie's in Chicago March 4th. We were a bit unprepared as it all started as just chatting then Andres agreeing to a short interview. It was freezing cold outside and don't mind the El train and the Dark Funeral set in the background. Big thanks again to Andres for talking with us for a few minutes. Also, thank you to Scott "The Wicked One" Eames and Robert "Abyssus" Coronado for talking with us in the noisy ass stairwell. Sorry about the audio quality, jazz night was rippin' next door. You can see that interview on the 2 Assholes Talking Music facebook page and video of Andres' interview is available on YouTube. Cuernos Arriba!!!!!

We'll be taking a break for a few weeks so we wanted to fire off a show before we come back with more guests and general asshatery. 
Lots of stuff to cover tonight like Slayer announcing their retirement, Marilyn Manson's drum tech (Jim's friend) getting arrested before a recent show, "Metal" being added to the dictionary, the new Tool album or lack thereof, Wes Scantlin enters rehab, the weird world of animals covering metal songs, the Super Bowl halftime show, and we close it out with the Jack in the Box Snoop Dog stoner meal. Yes, that's a real thing. We'd also like to apologize to the estate of Tom Petty. You'll see what I mean.
Our game for tonight is TWEET OR TWIT since we haven't busted that one out in awhile. We close out the show with some incredible music from local Chicago legends, HOOD SMOKE!!

We're getting ready to close out another year of 2 Assholes Talking Music so we thought we'd keep things simple tonight. Drinking beers and roasting the week in music news. We start things off with an update on the GWAR/Bullsac of Death story from our last show, why Suicide Silence can't and shouldn't catch a break, the leader of Indonesia loves Metallica, Linkin Park getting kicked out of the AMA's after winning an award, Christmas music from DMX, A Perfect Circle kicking fans out of shows for taking pictures, what kind of music psychopaths listen to, Wu Tang Clan sues a dog walking company, and that one time the Beach Boys covered a Charles Manson song. After the news we play White Boy Theater and Ryan's reign of awfulness continues. Last but not least we have some new Christmas music, this is waaaaaay better than the DMX track, from Starkill doing their rendition of "All I Want For Christmas Is You". It's kicks the Mariah Carey version right in the dick!! 

Well, tonight started off on a bit of a sour note. We were supposed to have Mark Kloeppel from Misery Index on the phone for an interview but due to some technical difficulties on our end we had to scrap it and reschedule. After we got done crying in our beers we decided to forge ahead and do our normal show. Lots of metal news because well, we planned on tying all that into the interview with Mark. We cover Twiggy Ramirez being accused of rape and getting the boot from Marilyn Manson, GWAR guitarist Bullsac the Jaws of Death is very sick, Buckethead finally reveals why he wears a bucket on his head, new Dime Bag material, highest earning dead celebrities of 2017, Dave Grohl and Kristen Bell rock out, live concerts coming to a flight near you, Every Time I Die is being sued by a fan injured at a show, and more. We have a new WTF Band that is both equal parts offensive and hilarious, another round of Guess That Video, and we close out the show with some new and old music from Misery Index. We promise once we get our shit together we'll have Mark for an interview but till then load up the alcohol and check out the new episode of 2 Assholes Talking Music!!

Each year we like to put together an evil mix of music in honor of our favorite holiday, Halloween. In the past years we created a kind of episodic mix following the brutal actions of the Phantom Killer. We figured this year we would do a stand alone mix that strays from the Phantom Killer story line and concentrates more on the music. Halloween Gravy #6 features some hip hop and Jim's dark Drum N' Bass mix from our Friday the 13th show the other week. This mix is the perfect background for handing out candy and scaring the neighborhood kids, the soundtrack to whatever you plan on getting into on the 31st or just put your headphones on in a dark room and drift away into audio psychosis. Happy Halloween!!!!

It's Friday the 13th in October so what better time to rip our Halloween show! We're joined this week by some local musicians, Johnny and Buddy from Party Obvious and Brandon Castino from Stone Rollin' Devils. We kick things off with some weird, WTF news and move into the horror movie discussion. Everything from the movie that scarred the shit out you to being the second person in the human centipede. Trust me, it just gets weird. We see which guest knows the most horror movie trivia and for once this might be a game Jim could win. We wrap things up with Jim on the turntables putting down a creepy Drum & Bass set. Many laughs and many beers were had and at some point the show jumped completely off the rails but that's the way we like it. Big thanks again to Johnny, Buddy, and Brandon for hanging out!!

We'll be taking a few weeks off so we thought we'd just get back to basics for a night with just Jim and Ryan roasting the week in music news. We kick things off with a little public service announcement regarding our buddies in Mungion and their gear heist in Detroit. The band was recently robbed of all their gear, van, and trailer during a stop over in Michigan. Search "Mungion" on Go Fund Me if you'd like to donate to their cause and help them get back on their feet. Or you could catch them on their current N.American tour and by a ticket and some merch. From there it's more news with stories like Chance the Rapper donating two million dollars to the Chicago Public School System, Lil' Wayne's brush with death in Chicago, System of a Down goes jazz, Pharma Bro v/s Wu Tang Clan, Black Metal pop music, a death at Burning Man, what getting goose bumps while listening to music means, and why The Calgary Police says listening to heavy music makes you a nazi. Our game for tonight is another offensive round of TWEET or TWIT and we close out the show with Jim on the turntables puttin' down some sounds. 

We're joined by local radio personality/producer Fernando Navarro tonight!! Fernando has seen it all during his time in the industry, from Mancow to the 2 Assholes. Fernando is a perfect fit for the podcast and he doesn't skip a beat once we fire things up and roast the week in music news. This week we cover a Metallica fan who was arrested after peeing on a family during a concert, R. Kelly's sex cult, the death of the Chuck E. Cheese animatronic band, Linkin Park's cryptic message about getting a new lead singer, a death at a kinky sex rave, a street performer who was told to go home and practice by local police, and more!!! We close out the show with Guess That Video and once again Fernando was right in his element. Much love to Mr. Navarro for coming out and hanging out with us for the night. This won't be the last time you hear him on the show. Support pirate radio!

Our special guest tonight is J.B. Bartlett from Chicago's patrons of groove, Waxworks!! J.B. was nice enough to stop by the lab to talk about everything from the upcoming album to Game of Thrones. No spoilers. It's hard to put a finger on Waxworks considering the rotating line-up of talented players. One night they might have a horn section and one night they might have someone on keys. The one constant that remains is their incredible sound be it Julian's thunderous percussions or Frank's amazing voice. We feature a few tracks tonight from their 'Lost At Sea' EP while we await the release of their upcoming full length album. We pepper J.B. with a little of the ol' Q&A and a game of Fake or Real. Big thanks again to J.B. for hanging out with us and fucking around for a little bit. 

We're joined by Chicago jam band Bodhicitta for some beers tonight!! Bodhicitta is the perfect example of what happens when four guys pick up their instruments and can all be on the same page. It's the in the pocket jams from a budding band that will hopefully be making noise on the scene for years to come. The guys stopped by the garage for a little bit to talk shop, do some beer tasting, cover the news, and play White Boy Theater. Turns out Ken is really good at it. If you're in and around the Chicago land area keep an ear out for these dudes. This is a live show you want to see. Big thanks to Kyle, Ryan, Alex, & Ken for hanging out and putting up with your shit for a few hours. It's always fun to have a good time with good people.
Check out bohicittamusic.com for more info and upcoming shows or find them on Facebook to see all their wonderful faces! 

Tonight we have a few guests in the studio including friend of the show Bradley O. and our guest of honor Justin Lebreck!! Justin is the owner and operator of Waysound Studio in Fox River Grove, IL and the newest member of Modern Day Romeos. Justin has been involved in music and recording since he ran a studio out of his parents basement in high school. Since then he's moved into his own space and records everything from classical music to hip hop. Not to mention he's now part of one of the biggest bands in the Chicago land area. Justin was nice enough to stop by for some Q&A, taste test the new Megadeth beer, and play a round of "Guess That Video" featuring only the most offensive comments YouTube has to offer. We even made him sit through what might be the worst WTF band, Bum Sick, we've featured to date. Seriously, you have to hear this "shit" to believe it. You'll know why I put that in quotes once you hear it. I can't really put into words. We also feature a few bands that have recorded over at Waysound Studio with Justin at the helm. We didn't let the torrential down pour of rain stop us from bringing you more pirate radio so turn it up loud and enjoy!! Thanks again to Justin and Brad for hanging out and crushing some beer cans with us.  

Unfortunately, we ran into some technical difficulties that weren't discovered until after the fact so bare with us as the sound quality is not top tier. Nevalra stopped by the lab while laying waste to the Midwest on the their Slash the Summer tour. After I introduced the boys to a Chicago delicacy, Italian beefs, we sat down to talk about everything from conspiracy theories, worst on stage moves, ryder sheets, their least favorite genre of metal, girlfriends on the road, and a lot more. As always we have to play a game so the boys took a crack at "Tweet or Twit" with the loser having to walk to the gig. 
Even if you're not a fan of of black metal or extreme metal this interview hits on all points and has something for everyone. Nevalra is one of the hardest working bands I've ever had the pleasure to meet and call my friends. The amount of work and dedication these guys put into their craft is unrivaled. I'm saying it right now, in another year Nevalra will be one of the biggest names in metal and they most certainly deserve it. Check out nevalra.com for all things satan and links to their social media accounts. It always a trip when these dudes stop in town and this time isn't any different. Tune in and support pirate radio!!!

Just Ryan & Jim in the studio this week but no worries we'll be back in July and August with all kinds of musical guests and great interviews.
This week we cover Chris Cornell's autopsy, Nickelback hates Stone Sour, Hanson calls Bieber chylamidia of the ear, Gene Simmons is still a dick, West Texas University class on metal lyrics. the Waken Open Air Festival beer pipeline, a guy busted at Bonaroo for selling an obscene amount of fake drugs, Pop star ryder sheets, a new YouTube artist who has 40 million views and 3 million dislikes on a month old video, and we close out the news with a quiz to find out which boy band personality we are. For our game tonight it's "Fake or Real" featuring bands from the Waken Open Air Festival in Germany this August. We close out the show with some killer new music from England's very own Rag n Bone Man. This dude is blowing up right now!! Grab yourself a cold beer and pump up the volume, it's time for more pirate radio for the 2 Assholes!!!

This is not for the faint of heart. You are about to enter the world of a madman.
Annihilation Gravy is the soundtrack of a gun toting psycho that eliminate anything and anyone who gets in his way. Nobody is safe once the gun is cocked and the finger is on the trigger. His blood lust can't be controlled and can only be satisfied once the bullets start flying. Track after track of blistering death metal paves the way to total annihilation.

This week we're joined by Bridge for a quick jam session and a little interview afterwards. Bridge has been around for many years and has played many shows. A few line up changes later they're back to their core trio and have never sounded better. Like a fine wine, Bridge has aged well and if you take enough of it you'll be left in a blackout trying to find your car keys. The guys were nice enough to let us hang out at their jam spot for the night and record some tunes and screw around. Topics include musical influences, favorite British Invasion band, why Chris Cornell is better than everyone, and more. Big thanks to Charlie, Adam, & Paul for the beers and all the stupid laughs. Can't wait to do it all again.

A little short on stories this week due to back to back shows but we're here to roast the week in music news and crush some beers. Lots of news to cover this week and we also debut a new game, Tweet or Twit. Stories inclube Mickey Free confirming the Prince/Charlie Murphy True Hollywood story, son of Metallica bassist Robert Trujullo joins Korn, Scott Stap can see dead rock stars in his mirror, a shrimp named after Pink Floyd, Brittney is leaving Vegas, Paul Oakenfold plays on top of Mt. Everest, and more. Since we're short on news this week we decided to double on the games and also debut a new one as well. Start it off with White Boy Theater followed up by Tweet or Twit. A new game where Jim has to guess if the offensive tweets Ryan is reading are fake or real. 
We close out the show with some killer sounds from Arizona's very own, Spafford!! Our buddies Mungion are supporting them on the road now so we figured what better time to show some love for an incredible band that will melt most part of your body clean off. 
Thanks for listening and keep on supporting pirate radio!!!!

Jim & Ryan are back in the studio this week to pound some beers and roast the week in music news. No guests tonight so it's just our regular format with the news, a brand new WTF Band you have to hear to believe, and another round of Guess That Video.

Grab your favorite cocktail and join us for your weekly dose of pirate radio!!

Today we were on location in the home of Bill Murray's "Groundhog Day" hanging out with Marc Esses & DJ New Vintage, one of the coolest local bands we've had the pleasure to cover in recent months. A DJ-drum duo that is taking the scene by storm and leaving empty bottles and tired dancing feet in their wake. This past weekend they took part in the Shamrocked Fest so we cracked a few beers and a couple of mics before the party started. Well, technically it never stopped from the night before. If you're in and around the Chicago land area keep an eye out for these guys because I guarantee you won't see anything like this!! 

Considering the blood alcohol level in the room last Friday night we manage to have a pretty decent show. We've been having lots of bands so far this year but we decided to get back to normal and roast the week in music news and drink beer. Lots of it. Chris from the Stone Rollin' Devils stops by to talk about the Super Bowl halftime show, Arnold Shwarzeneger beefing with Nickelback on Twitter, the science of music, an onstage enema goes wrong, Australia's favorite song to have sex to, Bieber being an asshole again, Aaron Carter fighting his supporting act on stage, the ARMY hates Smashmouth, was Michael Jackson murdered, and more.

We're joined tonight by local legends and avid beer drinkers, Party Obvious!! Buddy and Johnny stop the lab to drink beers, discuss the many complexities of life and why you should always wear a horse head when playing the drums. In between our fireside chat we feature some tracks off their album, Waking The Neighbors, feature a new WTF Band, and play White Boy Theater. It was a blast having these guys in the studio for a night and hope to do it again real soon. If you live in and around the Chicago land area chances are you can catch these guys at a bar near you. Check out partyobvious.com for all things party and a list of upcoming shows. Stay weird and support pirate radio!!!

We're joined this week by the incredibly talented, Mungion!! The boys were nice enough to stop by the lab before their show this past Friday night. We talk some quick shop about the band's history, what does their name mean, their musical influences and more. Later in the show we get into another round of Guess That Video and then close things out with live music from Mungion's show at The House Cafe this past December (set list below). Big thanks again to Mungion for stopping in and hanging out!! Support pirate radio!!

This is our official last show of 2016. In years past we've tried and failed to do a full on wrap up of the year in music so this year we decided to just kind of half ass it. We start off with some quick news like Phil Anselmo apologizing for his white power outburst, Joe Bonamassa attacking a bouncer with a rare guitar, Beyonce & Disturbed being nominated in the same category at the Grammy Awards, the highest selling CD of the year, the most viral videos of 2016, the top 3 songs of the year according to the Top 40 charts, our favorite albums/artists of the year, some really cool isolated vocal tracks, and our favorite/most hated Christmas songs. 

After all the news we bust our another round of White Boy Theater. Ryan Actually gets a few right this time. Amazing!! We close out the show with a few choice cuts from our favorite bands/songs of the year. Big thanks to everyone out there that took the time to listen to the show this year. Your support means more than you'll ever know to us. Jim & Ryan have some big things planned for 2017 like lots of guests and live acoustic jam sessions from some of Chicago's biggest local and independent bands. Stay tuned and keep supporting pirate radio!!!!

Back in the lab with a couple of guest tonight. We're joined by Chicago musicians from the band Kelly, Paul Somers and John Tashjian. You can also find John performing at Chicago piano Bar, Howl At The Moon. We bust a couple of stories from the music world like Kanye canceling his tour and being admitted into the looney bin, 5 Finger Death Punch frontman Ivan Moody walking off stage mid show, headphones being hacked and used as listening devices, Shia Lebouf being kicked out of a Warpaint concert, Canadian cops using Nickelback songs to punish drunk drivers, and a new line of beer from Killswitch Engage. After the news we do some beer tasting featuring beers from Iron Maiden and AC/DC and from there we got a new WTF Band that all Star Wars fans will enjoy. We close out the show with a round of Fake or Real with bands from the upcoming Snow Globe Festival in Lake Tahoe, CA. Our featured local band tonight is none other than Chicago powerhouse, Miss Remember. The buzz on this band has been growing in 2016 and their poised to do some really great things in 2017. You can find their music on Band Camp and I suggest you head over there and support some great local music. 

The title may say it's episode #65 but were actually dubbing this one #666 because we're tonight were joined by Missouri death band, Nevalra!!! The guys were nice enough to stop by while out on the Northern Nightmare tour currently shredding through the midwest. We sat down, drank a few beers and talked about their worst gig ever, metal sub genres and why they suck, what albums got them into music, the band's writing process, feature some cuts from the album and more. We close out the show with a Nevalra v/s the house edition of Guess That Video. We find out if Jim can beat someone other than himself. Big thanks again the guys from Nevalra for stopping by the garage and spending their Sunday night off hanging out with us assholes. Check out nevalra.com for everything Nevalra including tour dates, social media, merch and more!!! 

It's the big Halloween show with few guests in the studio! Nick and Brandon from the Stone Rollin' Devils stopped by for beers and to talk shop on horror movies. Before we get to this years list of Halloween movies to watch we do some quick news starting off with the Jay-Z/Kanye Beef, DMX thanks the cops who saved his life, new Tribe Called Quest album, Roger Daltrey thinks rock is dead, Bieber storms off stage, and new unreleased Prince music.

The local artist for the night is great friend of the show, Justin Purtill. It's hard to put Justin in any kind of category or genre so it's best to just let the music do the talking. He's played in the Jerry Garcia Band and alongside an incredible roster of storied jazz musicians. His music is available on iTunes or you can catch him live at any coffeehouse or jazz club throughout the city of Chicago.

We're joined in studio tonight with singer/songwriter Dave Prusina!! An incredible talent from Chicago who fronts local band Dave Prusina & The Cryin' Side of Town, an Americana folk band that's taking over local stages with their blue collar sound. Dave sits down for some Q&A plus we do a little beer tasting and later we subject him to a few rounds of Guess That Video and White Boy Theater. Look for Dave Prusina & The Cryin' Side of Town on Facebook to find all their upcoming dates or on their YouTube channel for live performances. Big thanks to Dave for putting up with us and hanging out for a few hours.

We're back to roast the week in music news with lots of ground to cover. Starting with the death of Prince and all the family drama. From there it's more family drama with the Zappa's then on to more drama involving Puddle of Man frontman Wes Scantlin. After that Scott Stapp tells a few lies, 50 Cent makes fun of an autistic kid, Trent Reznor going to work for Apple, McDonald's new MIDI keyboard place mat, a metal band featuring a 67 year old grandma lead singer, Dying Fetus spreads a fans ashes, Warren G butchers "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" and other famous celebs doing the same, Radiohead's new single, and another miserable WTF Band. We close out the show with a game of "Guess That Video" featuring only the trashiest YouTube comments. Fill your ears with a couple of assholes!!

We're back in the studio with a vengeance this week after taking a few months off. Jim welcomed in his 4th child so we figured there was probably more important things going on in the world than making fun of music headlines. 
It felt good to crack some cold beers and turn the mics on because so much happened while we were gone. We cherry picked some great stories this week like all the drama at the recent Rock N Roll Hall of Fame ceremony, the 50th anniversary of Woodstock, Led Zeppelin being sued for ripping off Stairway To Heaven, John Bonham named greatest drummer of all time, Courtney Love on the death of rock, Bubbles from Trailer Park Boys getting arrested, an Indonesian pop singer getting bit by a cobra and dying on stage, the Notorious B.I.G. hologram tour, celebs/musicians endorsing political candidates, the Sarah Palin/Azeliah Banks beef, and Prince being rushed to the hospital.

After the news we close out the show with a hysterical round of Fake or Real featuring bands from Coachella 2016. You won't want to miss this one! Pump up the volume and grab your favorite cocktail while the 2 Assholes roast the week in music news!!

The 2 Assholes have been on hiatus for the last month or so but we've been plotting all the while. The final product of swapping files back and forth is a jigsaw puzzle of death metal culminating in this brutal mix of  savagery.

We got beers and a whole bunch of music news to tear apart this week.

From there we get into the police files with former Backstreet Boy Nick Carter being arrested for starting a bar fight, Don "American Pie" McLean being arrested for domestic violence, and a rapper in Florida who tried to pass his mixtape off as a form of I.D.

After all the news we play another round of Guess That Video with Jim trying to redeem his overall score by placing the horrible YouTube comments with the correct videos. We recommend you pour yourself a large cocktail and join us for a little pirate radio with the 2 Assholes Talking Music!!

Knocking the rust off after the holiday break with some cold beers and a new episode of 2 Assholes Talking Music! We missed a few big stories while we were gone so we don't waste anytime getting into the news tonight. We start things off the passing of some pretty heavy hitters like Natalie Cole and Scott Weiland then we cover the man, the myth, the legend. Lemmy!! After we cover the obituaries we dive into Robert Trujillo's hungover Metallica audition, the new Hardee's ad featuring Pantera, a bar patron who hates Christmas music, the announcement of the Coachella line-up, Steeley Dan frontman in trouble with the law, and the Super Bowl halftime show.

Then it's Tyga creeping on underage girls and then we close out the news Azelia Banks fighting with bouncers and getting arrested. Our WTF Band for the night comes courtesy of the Black Sabbath/McDonald's tribute band, Mac Sabbath. We end the show with a round of Fake or Real where Jim has to guess if the bands I name are real featuring artists from this years Coachella line-up. 2 Assholes Talking Music is on the air!!!

First show in a couple of weeks so it feels good to be back in the lab with a cold beer in our hands. We took a break from the mics to bring you our annual Halloween special and it's our first show back after featuring some live music in the studio. We start things off with Jason Aldean dressing in black face for Halloween the we cover Justin Bieber's temper tantrum on stage in Norway, Randy Blythe(Lamb of God) getting jumped in Ireland, John Lennon's million dollar guitar sells at auction, Irish boy bands being used as a torture device, and Chester Bennington leaving STP.

For our game tonight it's White Boy Theater. Jim reads gangster rap lyrics in his whitest voice, his normal voice and Ryan has to guess the rapper. Grab a beer and join us for some pirate radio!! 

It's our favorite time of the year, Halloween!!! Staying with tradition we've put together another mix that continues the story of the Phantom Killer. If you remember from last year the original Phantom Killer was eventually caught and jailed for his heinous deeds. This year it seems he's spawned a copycat killer and he's wreaking havoc wherever he goes. The Copycat Killer is ruthless in his pursuit for blood and he'll stop at nothing to find his next victim. He could be your co-worker, maybe a neighbor. Maybe he's in your house right now. The Copycat Killer is driven by rage, a rage that runs so deep it can only be quenched with brutality. 

Turn off the lights and join us for another installment of Halloween Gravy!!

Tonight we're celebrating our 50th episode with some in studio guests, The Stone Rolling Devils!!! We figured that since this is kind of a landmark episode we'd have a little fun and invite some friends over to drink beer and jam out in the lab. The Stone Rolling Devils are an incredible blues band from the Chicago land area and have been trucking along now for many years. Despite a few line-up changes their sound is better than ever thanks to architect in charge Gary Smith. If you're ever in the city or around the suburbs of Chicago and these dudes are playing I highly recommend you saddle up to the bar and enjoy the show. We start the night off with a little jam sessions then get into talking shop, finding out what the guys are listening to, and close out the show with a group session of Guess That Video. It was an absolute treat to have these guys over and something tells me this won't be the last time we have these guys in the studio. Grab a drank and give the volume a crank it's the 50th episode of 2 Assholes Talking Music w/ The Stone Rolling Devils!!!!

I've been listening to a lot of underground British hip hop lately, well, underground in the states at least. These dudes from across the pond are bringing it back with an English touch and it sounds nice. I wanted to spotlight some of the stuff I've been listening to lately but also point out that this is by no means complete coverage of the scene over in England. The Secret Stash is always dedicated to undgerground sounds and there's a lot of noise coming from over in jolly ol' England. Grab a pint or 5 and spin the dial till you land on OI!!

We took the show on the road a few weeks back and took part in celebrating Craft Beer Week in Chicago. We posted up in Wrigleyville @ Merkle's Bar & Grill and spun some brutal tunes all night in honor of Rapture Fest featuring heavy beers and heavier music. We drank some beers, played a few games, and gave away some swag. Big thanks to Russ Bishop and the whole crew at Merkle's, executive chef Marshall McCarthy and everyone over at Mash for providing the insane smoked meats, all the craft breweries for supplying the suds, and everyone who came out and didn't get skeeved out from our videos. You had to be there.
