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. 

Tonight we cover stories like the death of Chuck Berry, a British woman arrested for blasting Ed Sheeran at her neighbors, alien radio signals from outer space, the 2017 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony, Barry Manilow coming out, Suge Knight adds to the Tupac conspiracy, the Disney ban hammer, Nikki Sixx on Broadway, and more. After the news we feature Pugtopsy, a pug dog fronted black metal band and close out the show with Guess That Video and a short mix of music. 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. Jim finally redeems himself in Guess That Video and we feature some music from one of the UK's premiere MCs, Leafdog. Grab a beer or 10 to catch up and join us for another barely sober episode of 2 Assholes Talking Music. Support pirate radio!!!

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.
