His father may have preferred he become a dermatologist, but in addition to breaking his parents’ hearts by becoming an Angry Samoan, Gregg Turner also found the time to become a doctor of mathematics, and has taught math for the last few decades before his recent retirement. We discuss his early years writing for Creem and Rolling Stone, his introduction to the ‘punk rock’ world of mathematicians in the late 70s/early 80s, and a whole lot more, including his new book Hallucinations From Hell: Confessions of an Angry Samoan. Don’t miss this one!

In the past forty-seven episodes, we’ve had lots of guests who had to explain the ins and outs of their job to us, but this is the first guest who had to explain their entire job to us! Until his recent retirement, Andy parlayed his love of boxing into a decades-long career as a punch counter. Yes, he counted the number of punches for the official tally in each match he watched, traveling the country (and internationally) to get the job done. Listen in as we talk about the different types of punches, the internal politics and drama in the world of punch counting, and how a punk rocker learns and lives through it all. Are you ready to rumble?

In this episode Kenny Lush introduces us to the world of independent wrestling. In addition to his work as a bouncer and a green roofer, Kenny has juggled touring as a wrestler and a musician for the last two decades. In this jam-packed episode we talk about touring Japan as a wrestler, the appropriate time to ‘blade’ yourself during a show/match, why Gilman Street should host wrestling matches, how Charlie thinks greenery on a roof is for the elites and so much more. Kenny is a quintessential kind and friendly Canadian the whole time, even if he could definitely kick all of our asses. Check it out!

Tony Erba is legendary (and much talked about) for his insane stage presence and incredible bands - from Face Value all the way through to Fuck You Pay Me, but of all the conversation, little is mentioned about how Tony makes a living and the role that work plays in his life. In this in-depth dive into the world of Mechanical Insulation, unions and Cleveland (along with some great music talk as well) we get into how a guy who just wanted to play in a band and tour incessantly looks back at it all - pride, accomplishments and regrets. Of course it’s funny as hell as well. Enjoy!

In high school and college Ben had two plans for a potential career, and neither included his band, the Lemonheads. Never considering music a full-time job, he left the band he founded with friend Evan Dando to pursue a degree in Literature from Harvard and eventually a career as an advertising copywriter. In our conversation with Ben, we discuss the decision to work in advertising versus teaching, his love of silly jingles and old man candy, the role that music played (and still plays) in his life and the dark place where creativity comes from. We get goofy and go deep into commercials, Tootsie Rolls, parental expectations and a whole lot more. Enjoy!

From an early age Adam was hustling. Starting with magic shows in his hometown in central Pennsylvania before he hit puberty, Adam later discovered punk rock and moved to New York City, joining some of the most over-the-top rock ‘n roll bands playing in the scene, including Toilet Boys and The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black. An entertainer of the highest order, we talk about the roots of magic, the myth of free will, why Glenn Danzig could never be a real Satanist, and why Ace Frehley loves puppet humor. This episode is bonkers, so strap in and enjoy it!

How does one of the most influential voices of the straight-edge hardcore movement become the manager of a major sports bar? It’s not an easy answer, but we dive into it with Dan O’Mahony, who lends his wit, charm and sense of humor into all elements of our conversation - both serious and stupid - to help us get to the bottom of it all. Tune in as we discuss music, family, responsibility, legacy and why it may be harder to run a successful watering hole than you’d think.

Most people know Kira Roessler from her time as the bass player for Black Flag, but they may not know much about her time after leaving the band. In this episode we talk to Kira about completing her college degree while touring the country with Black Flag, her initial career working in computers and how a chance meeting led to the dialogue editing for films and television that has led to an Oscar and multiple Emmys for her and her team. Direct and engaging, Kira’s punk rock attitude is still driving her in her career and influencing her projects, including an upcoming solo record that we can’t wait to hear.

Joker audio session story

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUPJckUSdzo

From his music to his visual art to his audio recording, if you’re a punk rocker (or are particularly close with one) you have encountered something that Tim Kerr has had a hand in creating. Unconcerned with labels, Tim is content to let his work speak for itself, free from attempts to categorize or label any of it. If you don’t think that’s punk rock, well we’ll take it from the man himself: “that’s your problem, not mine”. The only thing we can say for sure is that he is a proud Texas surfer who never ran a record label in the Pacific Northwest, and isn’t much of a hockey player. Listen in to get the rest of the story.

Adam discovered a love for learning much later in life. After a musical career as Atom & his Package, Adam made what (at least in our opinion) was a natural progression into education, taking his humor, wit and inspiring approach to learning from his performances to the classroom. In this conversation, we discuss everything from being weird in a class just to entertain yourself, the importance of reaching students and the sometimes exhausting elements that go into teaching. Adam is self-deprecating, hilarious and heartfelt, and odds are good that you’ll love this conversation as much as we did.
