Spike and Jackson – Attack of the Media Whores – S1 E20
Worst Little Podcast – Episode 20 <—- a milestone! Thanks for listening!
FINALLY!! A professional! (really? her?)
It has been a while! Good to be with you!
We return with a tempered vengance and too much to talk about! Neither Rory nor Nick got to talk about everything they wanted to get to. We are proud to announce a brand new sponsor of the show, STINGRAY TATTOO. Check out the oldest custom tattoo shop in Reno online at www.stingraytattoo.net or their Facebook page. We also recap the events of the past two weekends (Rick-stock and the Block Party), toothaches and plagues, and sadly, the passing of Dogwater Studios’ mascot, Ichabod Speck Spagnola. A fine chihuahua he was, and a longtime member of the Reno scene. Show a little love and pet a dog, bitches.
Mr. Personality!
In studio we have some great friends and a new friend with us. Layla James of Rock 104.5 FM and iamlaylajames (and TV and commercials and all sorts of other cool stuff we’re all jealous of) hangs out with us and films us for her own video blog. She was a blast and welcome to take a chairor call in any time she wants. Unfazed by any and all questions. As opposed to Jackson Truckle of Spike and Jackson who spoke maybe 7 and 1/2 words, aside from singing.
He plays so fast enough to look like an amputee!
That’s right – on the Internets for the first time EVAR: Spike and Jackson!!! They so old school, they don’t have computers! These stone age rockers throw down a couple of tracks and join in with the (Ever-Evolving) Worst Quiz Ever. Also, join us for our first installment of “What’s Matty Drinking?”, hopefully a brand new segment centered around intoxication. In addition to being a mild-mannered news guy on KOH, Matt is a loyal fan and good buddy. We’ll check back with him next week.
My bow-tie and I wish you adieu!
We’re Calling in Sick.
Hello, constant listener and the Intrawebz,
We hate to do it, but we had to cancell the episode this week due to the failing health of half of the crew. Rick has the plague and Rory’s got a hole in his tooth. I’d go into greater detail, but it makes Nick squirm… so we’ll save it for the show next week!
In case you were interested, the Reno Block Party and Undiscovered 2011 (a.k.a. Rick-stock) were great! Huge successes and a grand old time were had by all! Thanks for attending if you did – it’s events like these that make Reno so freaking awesome! And thanks to all the bands that played; we’re going to try to book as many of them as possible in the coming months (Very Pretty Pigeon, Memory Motel… I’m looking at you….).
Exciting news – We gots stickers!!!!! A big shout out to the fine folks over at Sticker Guy! (Eric Foreman) for hooking us up with some sweet worstlittlepodcast.com stickers. Want some? Leave a comment – we’ll sent them to you!
Don’t forget to check out NadaDada Motel this week – June 16 through 19 at locations all over downtown Reno. Local artists and performers collaborate once again in a celebration of nothing and everything. Still not sure what NadaDada is? It doesn’t matter. Just go.
Trust us! We know what we’re doing!
BONUS SHOW: And This Is Why You Shouldn’t Drink on the Air – S1 E19
Worst Little Podcast – Episode 019 BONUS EPISODE!!! EXTRA LONG!!!!
The saying goes, “No place to go but up from here.”
They’re wrong.
Part two includes music from Werm, Sprout, Mudsharks, Cranium, Phat Couch, The Atomiks, and Gunshot Licker
So this is Part Two of the Memorial Day Meltdown. I still say it’s a bad idea. BUT there is joy in mudville. In our first segment, (mostly) Rory talks with J-bot from Captured! By Robots. The mechanical tyrants have him out on a tour again, bruising his tender meaty appendages to lug them and their gear across this country. He will be finishing his latest tour this weekend in our fair mountains. Check him out on Friday 6/10 at Whiskey Dick’s in Tahoe or on Saturday 6/11 at Tonic in Reno. It should be a great show – The bots have some new tricks up their … cladding… and are ready to rip your faces off with rock and roll! … and titanum instrumentation.
Those shows will be around rock and roll time, so if you’re out and about in Reno on Saturday, come by Wingfield Park downtown. Guerilla Productions are putting on the Reno Block party there all day long – 10am to 10 pm. Just in time to catch a little C!BR action. Those kids are still in the studio (mostly) this episode, although there were some casualties along the way. Bullet Bar Dave, Jessalicious, the Kodiak and Felix P all stick around with us too.
Part two includes music from Werm, Sprout, Mudsharks, Cranium, Phat Couch, The Atomiks, and Gunshot Licker
Once we get past the interview with Captured! By Robots, the shouting match Top Ten List resumes, and we spend the rest of the show trying to make it through the list as fast as a room full of drunkards can focus on anything. That’s most of the reason that this is such a long episode (nearly 2 hours)!
Anyway, we apologize in retrospect and thank you in advance! Enjoy the show!

Memorial Day Meltdown – S1 E18
Worst Little Podcast – Episode 018
This episode is such a bad idea….
What a day, what a day! This week’s Worst Little Podcast in the World is a special episode – the first of a two-part investigative journalism expose booze fest in the studio! We FINALLY have finished compiling your picks for the Top Ten All-Time Reno Bands and present the first half of that list This episode with more to come next week. We actualy recorded two episodes this week so that Rick could take some time off for a vacation next week. Part one includes 7 Seconds, Fall Silent, The Shames, Orange Peel, B.O.H.J., War Maggots, Keyser Soze
Since it was such a special show, we opened up our doors to a lot of people this week and it’s kind of a madhouse. We have Squeak, Christine Irma Geddon, and Jess Blaze form Guerilla Productions on talking about bringing live music back to Burning Man and their upcoming Reno Block Party. Part one includes 7 Seconds, Fall Silent, The Shames, Orange Peel, B.O.H.J., War Maggots, Keyser Soze
Felix Polanski and Bullet Bar Dave stop in to share the libations. Da Kodiak and Cerrybear Jess are in the house too. Nick gets all loosey goosey and plays musical microphones all hour and Rory slowly looses his shit as he looses control. No time for the Worst Quiz Ever – we gots too much music and booze to get to! Part one includes 7 Seconds, Fall Silent, The Shames, Orange Peel, B.O.H.J., War Maggots, Keyser Soze
Also, we talk up the BEST event happening in the Washoe Valley this weekend – the (Un)Discovered 2011 Backyard BBQ! We throw a rockshow in Rick’s backyard. Free all-day event, the whole city is invited, come see some of your favorite local bands and get you some barbecue! Listen to the whole episode to find out the address – hell, think of this podcast as your personal, gold embossed invitation.
And, as always, thanks for listening.
The (Un)Importance of Being Mark Earnest – S1 E17
Worst Little Podcast – Episode 017
Buy my record! … damn kids…
We’re late to the party, but RIP Macho Man. You will live in out hearts forever.
Great episode this week with Mark Earnest in the studio. He talks with us about his current projects including Dirt Communion and the Vague Choir, we listen to some previously unreleased Vitriolics, and well, bullshit about things that have nothing to do with him. Like Marianarchy, for one!
Nick has great news about how much we raised at Marianarchy over the past weekend. We all talk about how much fun we had there too, except for Rick. He’s against fun. He spent the whole weekend recording and mixing bands in the studio. Cause he thinks that’s fun. Cause he’s a fag nerd. Rory tells a bizzare story about someone, then figures out that he totally had the wrong person and is a jackass. Chewie… well, the less said about him, the better.
Speaking of jackasses… we were supposed to have a mysetery caller during the show. But then he flaked. Maybe he thought we meant next week…
NEXT WEEK: Part one of a Worst Little Podcast cliffhanger!
The Empire of Dufrisne – S1 E14
Worst Little Podcast – Episode 014
Next on WLP: When Nerds Attack
It’s the quiet ones that you gotta watch out for… they’re usually crazy.
This week on the Worst Little Podcast in the World, bullshit artist comedian Tim Dufrisne joins us in the studio. Tim has haunted and stalked open mics in Reno for over ten years in Reno, focusing on his comedic skillz in the last five years. He’s an integral part of the Empire Comedy and Empire Improv groups and teaches in their improv classes. On this episode he keeps Chewie’s seat warm while the big man toils away in a mine. Check him and Empire Comedy out this Friday at 10:30 at the Good Luck Macbeth Theater.
We’re kind of all over the road on this one, talking about Nick’s recent nuptials, Tim’s disturbing childhood, and even current events! I mean, really, how could we not talk about Seal Team Six bringing back the World Hide and Seek Championship Ring? We also have yet ANOTHER first – our first phone interview! Since he couldn’t make it in town to the wedding, we called up Steve Fot, long-time Reno rockstar and good friend of the show, to bust his balls about not being in town. The phone is very exciting… who knows… maybe the next person we call is YOU!!
Aversion Therapy: Not just for kids anymore! – S1 E13
Worst Little Podcast – Episode 13
Rocking out obscure covers since … well, we forgot to ask….
We’re the Worst Little Podcast/ talkin’ out of our ass!
That’s just a taste of the totally freaking awesome song Aversion Therapy wrote for us. They went back and listened to the archives and dug up a bunch of dirt to ridicule your favorite Reno whores with – thanks, guys! As the man says, ‘sleep with one eye open.’ We’ll be seeing ya. Soon!
Really though lots of fun this week. Nick talks about his suprise bachelor party last weekend, Rory reveals some disturbing elements of his sexual awakening as a young man and Rick zings us all with samples on his fancy soundboard. Chewie is MIA once again, working hard for the corporate masters in Elko or Winnemucky or some other godforsaken ghost town fine community in the Great State of Nevada. The guys from Aversion Therapy showed up with intact senses of humor and threw down some pretty great songs, like ‘Tequilabotoomy’ and ‘You wont Return My calls, So I Put a Spycam on Your Dog’. They are a unique band, writing one song a month based on suggestions on their facebook page. Go check them out either there or at their website; it may be the best 20 minutes you spend all half-hour!
How You Like Them Sonsabitches Now? – S1 E12
Worst Little Podcast – Episode 012
Them Sonsabitches in their natural habitat.
“I want it on my tits.”
Engaging, no? If you want to know more, you have to listen to the whole show. This week’s episode is part rock and roll and part that certain kind of magic that only happens between eight guys in a dimly lit room.We ended up having a great ashow with Them Sonsabitches. This was a first for our little fake radio show – we had a whole band in with us at once. We fit all Them Sonsabitches and Reno Whores in one tiny room. The Dogwater Studios never smelled more like dogwater (at least since Rory moved out. ed.- Rick would like to state for the record that Rory’s aroma was more like ‘goat and feet’.).
Scotty, Mike, Jon, Nate and Grayson are a bunch of artfag posers fun bunch of guys to hang out with and when it comes to music, should look for a second day job lay down some righteous tracks. They are a band of trailer-born brimstone-eatin’ rockers. Them Sonsabitches enjoy energy drinks, guns, chewing bubble gum and long walks on the beach. Their dream fan is someone who enjoys their backpack, being smug, air guitaring and has a great smile.
Check out Them Sonsabitches this Friday with Pinky Polanski, The Regan Years and Mary Jane Rocket at The Alley in Sparks. Show starts at 9pm, $10. Advance tickets are on sale at The Alley and directly from the bands themselves. Advance tickets are only $8. Send any of the bands a message on Facebook or email, or get out of the house and stop by The Alley.
Tom Plunkett v. Battle Born Derby Demons – S1 E11
Click here for audio >>>> Worst Little Podcast – Episode 011 <<<<
I’ve really got to stop plugging next week’s episode*…
Chewie’s back in the house with absolutely nothing interesting to say about working in Winnemucca. So instead, we talk with bur biggest celebrity yet: as seen on basic cable between the hours of 11pm and 6am all across Washoe Valley, the fabulous Mr. Tom Plunkett. A multi-talented creator and artist, Tom regales us with tales of high colonics and ruining Shakespeare. He also plays some pretty mean guitar while visiting the Dogwater Studios.
But Tom is not alone this week. Irma Geddon from the Battle Born Derby Demons stops by to plug the season home opener at Lawlor this Saturday. IF you’re not familiar with BBDD, let me explain: girls on wheels+scoring system+mild violence=awesome. The sport has seen a resurgence in the last number of years all across the country and the Battle Born Derby Demons have been representing Reno with pride. Irma also has a super sexy voice. You would pay to listen to her read a phonebook. Trust me.
NEXT WEEK: somebody cooler than me?
*(So, last week I mentioned that Greg Allen was going to be on the show this week, but we never got a confirmation. Greg left me some jive ass message about being abducted by aliens and anally probed by his modem. Whatever, cool guy. We’ll talk later.)
Kung Fu Sophie and the Slow Dying Podcast – S1 E10
Worst Little Podcast – Episode 010
Fun size kick-assery!
Smelly boys beware! (of Reno whores)
This week on the Worst Little Podcast in the World, Sophie Ralston visits us on the studio. Talk about a dumb blonde! She was a fantastic guest – we didn’t have to play too nice after all! Chewie is still out in the hinterlands of Eastern Nevada, so after a play-by-play account of Rory’s failure as a parent and his daughter’s subsequent introduction to recreational OTC, Sophie entertains us with some tracks she brought in. Later she plays some LIVE music too. Ever the good sport, Kung Fu Sophie is the first person to take the Worst Quiz in the Wold. We learn that Sophie has some unusual talents and doesn’t read anything without big pictures! Rick restrains his inner (and outer) tech nerd, and Nick… well, anything of importance that happened to Nick really gets steamrolled by all of the awesomeness and kick-assery.
