WRYAT A-LIVE
WRYAT New Orleans Radio
Recorded before a-live audience on June 13, 2025 Oh, you guys didn't think WRYAT was actually ending, did you? I mean, it's not gonna be a podcast anymore, it's mostly gonna be this with all the variations that come with it, but of course we're gonna keep doing WRYAT and WRYAT stuff, ya idiot. Yeah, everybody lived after the explosion that took out the entire studio last week. Well, everybody except Matthew Ray the janitor, viva los muertos. I only hope that in death he's found whatever he was looking for in life. RIP MR. We'll miss you as a person, as a friend, and especially as a...

WRYAT S8E6 - WRYAT presents The End of WRYAT sponsored by WRYAT
WRYAT New Orleans Radio
Well, that's it, I guess. That show with the lady talk-fighting with the hive mind, is done. The show with the 80s kids fighting scary monsters is done. The show with the sad kid in a giant robot fighting angels has been done for like 30 years. Everything is ending. But don't fear, cause like the pheonix that is Intellectual Property, just give it like 15 years and it will be back, baby! I just hope that Timothee Chalamet Jr. plays me. I know he's not born yet, but that kid has a future ahead of him. Anywho, I now present you with the last WRYAT episode. It's been since 20X9 or...

WRYAT S8E5 - Bugs sponsored by The New Orleans Insect Eh-rium
WRYAT New Orleans Radio
Remember in the 90s when toy companies were like, "Girls can bake little cakes, and that's cool. However, what can boys bake? We can't let them bake cakes as well. How will they ever make rap videos or play plumber man video games? Wait, what if we gave them a plastic box that has a light bulb hotter than the sun and give them metal plates to make bugs." Somewhere a dude retired on this idea. Now I had a curiosity for spiders, but they ain't bugs. Spiders are ordered off the fancy wine menu, bugs are 5 dollar bottle of sugar water booze you drink on a dare. But those make-your-own toxic rubber...

WRYAT S8E4 - Foreign Policy sponsored by Fresh Start Firepower
WRYAT New Orleans Radio
I can't tell you how much it means to me that this country is a melting pot of cultures. Nowhere else can I have a taco pizza and a pizza taco side-by-side on my plate. It makes me weep seeing how America let these two foods animorph into one another and stop it halfway. Not only that, but we reached across the aisle and were like, "You got taco meat on my pizza crust," and "You got pizza meat in my taco crust". There was no fighting, just the agreement that both were right. I don't know about other countries, but this is what our forefathers fought for. Sorry, I was crying there for a bit and...

WRYAT S8E3 - Propaganda...for Kids! sponsored by Emancipation Station
WRYAT New Orleans Radio
I was walking down the street the other day when I saw a lemonade stand. It was a cute setup that a little girl had with her giant pitcher and princess cups. I was drawn to pay a dollar for a glass of lemonade to quench my thirst. As I was sipping the yellow tart nectar, the little girl proceeded to ask me who I voted for in the election. She asked if I thought the economy was in shambles or if I was pro-union. I was shocked. This 8-year-old was drilling me on my voting habits, and when I told her I didn't vote, oh boy, did she tell me what was wrong with Millennials. She blamed my avocado...

WRYAT S8E2 - The Day Drinking Special sponsored by Pudd Beer
WRYAT New Orleans Radio
Werewolves are one thing, but the reverse werewolf is a creature of intrigue. I say this cuase I have a coffee date with a friend next week and need to up my philosophy game. Ain't no way I am not going in with some deep thoughts done thought up. So watch out, Jerry, I have a book of words that I have been annotating and 7 questions that will show off how I, too, can think of cool conversation-prompting questions. You looked so cool at last Friendsgiving, but I am coming in for the sneak attack and getting you at our coffee meet-up so that you are devastated at the actual dinner. How does a...

WRYAT S8E1 - Dogs sponsored by The Purebred White Bloodhound Preservation Consortium
WRYAT New Orleans Radio
Dogs: Man's best friend. Cat's worst enemy. Horses' best reference for job applications. Yeah, this week is about dogs. Listen, I don't know much about dogs, and yes, I am on the do-not-adopt list at the local shelter. I'm not going to get into it here, but suffice it to say that Best Buy should rethink its policies and that there is no rule that a dog can't wear a polo and can't sign off on giving me a discount on a new TV. Anywho, this week's episode is filled with questions about boats, questions about music, and questions on death. Look, just give your ear holes a little treat and check...

WRYAT S7E6 - Awards Show
WRYAT New Orleans Radio
Oh, it's my favorite time of year. The time when I can wear my fanciest suit. Get a nice flattering haircut. And roll out the red carpet. This is the only way to properly appreciate Arby's. MMMM Arby's. The horse sauce alone deserves to be honored with a plaque and a heartfelt thank you speech. Oh, oh, the curly fries should have a special category just for the best shape. I would die from anticipation just waiting to hear if the not-fully-cut-but-very structurally-sound-slightly wound-up piece won. Anywho, WRYAT is going to the public radio awards show. So cross your fingers and dried out...

WRYAT S7E5 - Freedom of Speech
WRYAT New Orleans Radio
We are back. Like that movie about the dinosaurs that use trucks as skateboards. But instead of doing cool tech deck Ford F-150 tricks, we use soundwaves. Listen we looked at Freedom of Speech this week and metaphors and similies are on the table again. No more being direct with our language. We can draw comparisons. We can allude. We can hint at. All this power at our disposal with just a simple "like". Anywho, before the power consumes me, check out this week's episode.

WRYAT S7E4 - The Conservation Conversation
WRYAT New Orleans Radio
Politics today. Am I right? One dude yelling into another dude's mouth. Like a momma bird giving a baby worm chew. It's really beautiful. Nature is crazy, though. Like, this girl I knew in grade school once found one of those baby birds under a tree, and she took it home to raise it. Every night she feed it wet dog food and gave it water. Like, after a month, the thing grew up and was fluttering around the house. She stopped coming to school cause she wanted to make sure her "baby" was safe. Her parents tried to get her to go outside but she just locked herself away. I haven't been by her...
info_outlineThe age of wires and circuits are upon us. Bask in the light of hard drives and servos. WRYAT is looking to the future. A future where you mom doesn't think it is weird to hang out with an old guy who lives in a garage behind Arby's on the Westbank. A future where you can wake up at 2 a.m. to hang out with said old man and do experiments with a dog in a car. A future where Libya freely hands over plutonium to that same old dude who sleeps on a cot above said case of plutonium. One can dream and so can you as WRYAT explores Neo Orleans, the ability to talk to babies in the womb, and the future of crypto.
