Background Noise

TV kills you, great white sharks are being found where they shouldn't be, old broads are 10th degree judo masters, and looking for love makes you dumb. Basically, you don't have much of a chance in this life. Damn, this write up is really sad...so...I guess that you should just like, listen to as much Background Noise as you can because it's the #1 treatment for sadness, depression, and bitchassedness.

Greetings, Earthlings and intergalactic alien travelers! This time around we had a "no swearing" episode, where those who committed the offense of speaking with a foul tongue were whacked with foam swords and forced to drink flaming hot tabasco sauce and sour lemon juice. Naturally, there were a couple of fuc...uuuuh..."slip ups" which resulted in punishment. Also, long-time listener Billy "Redneck Name" Floyd from the UK Skyped in to give us the inside scoop on the London Riots, we talked about the awkwardness and etiquette of passing people on sidewalks, and reviewed Jay-Z & Kanye West's new album, "Watch the Throne". Put on your riot gear, get comfortable, listen up, and let us loot your hearts, you geezers and wankers!

What do white people smell like? And how about black people...and Asians, Indians, First Nations, and Mexicans? All important questions - and all answered on this week's show! We also bumbled our way through figuring out how dress sizes work due to a so-called "plus-sized" model who is just downright sexy and not fat, and we talked about how annoying people can be in public when they're being loudmouths...or are walking around with awful ringtones. Oh, and Nitro (from American Gladiators) was in studio. Okay, not really, but that would"ve been pretty cool, right? Right. Of course.

A former rap partner and longtime friend of Luke, Mike, was in studio for this episode to talk about his new musical group called Drugz N Dreamz. He also had to grin and bear it as two, 12 year old songs that he did with Luke (when they were known as the rap group "Undarunnaz") were played back and then comedically annihilated. Not to be outdone, White Ass Jon also dropped some blazing hot bars, as he performed his own rendition of "Smell Yo Di..." by Riskay. This is an episode of drugs and music, so crank up your speakers and shoot up! Don't shoot PEOPLE up - shoot the podcast up! Wait, no...don't do that either...we don't wanna die...look, just listen to the show and like it, okay?

Comedian Kyle Hickey was in studio for this episode so shake your tambourines and go and get yourself a whistle! He shares with us his past, current & future plans, and also helps us cast actors for a live-action Captain Planet movie. Then there's the tantalizing discussion about Bang Bus pornstar Ramon's animal cruelty, and a look at the story of a local man who recently got duped out of $14,000 because he chose to believe in loving an on-line stranger. Forget going to the library, ya dweebs - just listen to Background Noise and feel the brain magic happen.

It's mean in the streets of Halifax... but especially on the transit buses, when there's 6 single mothers with baby strollers. We discuss the showdown on the bus route #52 that took place, as well as 9 things you shouldn't say to your child for fear of destroying their happiness. We also warn you that robbing a hair salon MAY result in you being a Russian woman's sex slave. There's more sexy stuff, and some death too. HOW BIZARRE! Climb into a barrel and fly off the waterfalls of promise in this weeks Background Noise!!

The verdict is in! Background Noise has been found guilty of being incredible...well, pretty good, anyway! In other news, Casey Anthony has been found innocent of murder, so naturally, the trial and verdict was discussed on this episode! Add to that the creation of the "Top 10 Most Overrated Things" list with the help of our listeners, and a look at some gender bending stories, and you have yourself one hell of a cookout! Smother us in BBQ sauce and enjoy. We go good with just about anything.

Derrek tries to switch things up this week by trying to intro the show and what a show it is! You ever try to debate something with an illogical person? Luke did this week and tells us all the juicy details. Additionally we decide just how much we think some insane celebrity items are worth, talk about Halifax and it's continuing issues with concerts oh and some guy who likes to camp out in a portable toilet. Ponder, laugh, and cringe your way through this amazing episode of Background Noise.

Metal band Orchid's Curse was on this week to discuss their upcoming video release, to tell us what they're all about, and to play a game of "How Metal Is This?". Also, Jon returned from his Euro-trip with many stories to share! Ryan Dunn's death and all of the controversy surrounding it was touched on as well, and then there was a talk about puke and puking. Yup. Only the high class stuff around these parts! Adjust your monocle and pour your tea, it's BACKGROUND NOISE!

It's episode 90 all up in your ears! The countdown to the big 100 is on! On this week's show, Rick (AKA Rock) Johnson of Chaos Theory (and many other bands) stopped by to tell us all about his musical endeavors and the upcoming battle for the opening spot at a Metallica show! There was also a great discussion about the Vancouver riots, the invention of a product called the "dicky douche", and a deep & insightful discourse about the introverted way of life. You'll laugh, you'll learn, and you MIGHT even pee a little, so just be aware of that, okay?
