STSWC

So I kind of figure no one will listen to this one. Wrestlemania 33 is this Sunday and I invited Pat and Rob to come over and discuss the outcomes of the matches. Also I marked where we started the beer chugging just in case you dont give a flying fuck about wrestling.

Enjoy

Shooting The Shit turns one year old! There has been copious amount of High Life and Budweiser consumed. This episode there is no guest, so sorry if you dont like the sound of my voice. Dont tune out quite yet, because I play music from guests who were previously on the show and talk about podcasts that inspired me to start this show. Thanks for listening even if it was only for a collective 3 minutes! Here is the links to all of the bands that I played throughout the show. Support local music and lets keep this scene alive!

After a month hiatus, we are back with Ryan and Connor Ashe of Common Allies! These two dudes play out every weekend so you have no excuse for not checking them out. They are twin brothers who are very dedicated to their craft. We had a fun conversation about how they started in movie production and made their way into music. We also drank a lot, as is tradition.

There is no song of the week, but enjoy these clips of my band, Radar's, new jams. Enjoy!

Hello all. Usually I have someone who's currently playing with a band, but this week I have Jon Torres, a stand up comic! I met him a long time ago when he played for a band called Ferrison. Then later on I met him at a WWE Wrestlemania viewing party. Basically we get along swimmingly because we're both huge wrestling nerds. Jon performs all over the Chicagoland area whether it be open mic nights or stand up showcases. We talk about the struggles of a stand up comic, wrestling (duh), and his time in the local scene. Theres even a clip of him performing his shtick. Enjoy!

SOTW: "Greener" by Southworth

Hey all. My apologies for the week delay. My guest this week is Mikey Pineda, the bassist of "Lost Not Found." I met him when I was playing with The Obstacles at a Downers Grove South relay for life and was jealous of his drummers DW drum set. He has been in the local scene for an extremely long time and still supports it. He also is one of Chicagolands finest piercers and even gives you a discount on piercings if you listen to the whole episode! Enjoy!

SOTW: Holy White Hounds - "Blind"

This is the second and last part of my shit shooting with Dave and Sam of Get Well Cards. I'll be filling in on drums with them on February 24th at Tivoli Bowl in Downers Grove. This episode youll hear a Blind life song. For those that dont know, that is the first band that Dave and Sam started more than 10 years ago. You will also hear sam getting angry about a reunion show that never happened due to the Vans Warped Tour. Enjoy!

SOTW - "Wheaties" by An Asian Film

This is the first time I've had to do a 2 part episode because Sam and Dave wouldn't shut the fuck up! These two had a very busy 2016 releasing 3 albums (1 solo album each and a Get Well Cards EP). They cant seem to separate from one another being on one anothers solo albums as well being in a band together. This is the truest form of love if Ive ever seen it. We talk about a whole lot, so get focused and cheggit out.

SOTW - "Castle" by REMOD

Hey! This is the last episode of the year and so I figured I would make it ridiculous. No Song of the week and no Blow it out your ass segment. Dont let small children listen to this episode unless you want to really mess up their life. It has snippets of the "Would You Rather" episode with Mike Benning and Scott Dolson. It also has a couple of snippets of an episode that I basically had to scrap because everybody was talking over each other. Enjoy and we'll hear ya next year.

One of my favorite local bands came to my place and we took several "Union Breaks." Steve and Anthony from The Damn Tracks are the guests this week and we had a great time. Anthony had been side stepping my show for all of season one so I had to give him as much shit as possible. The "BLOW IT OUT YOUR ASS" segment returns as I rip on people who cheer at movie theaters and Kevin Janus (Season 1 Episode 3 guest.) Its all in fun. Dont get your panties wrapped in your ass. Thanks for listening

SOTW: The Bigger Empty - "Thread"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imiufmSz5B8

Peter Day joins me on the show for the first time! Peter and I go back to day one of our music careers. From making songs with an old Casio keyboard and a tape recorder to living in a van playing shows around the country. We talk about old times, video games and what hes been up to since the band broke up..... 7 years ago.
