Video Games, The Manson Family, and Dune Buggies 08/14/2019

Video Games, The Manson Family, and Dune Buggies And now for something slightly different. This week, Kyle is sick, two episodes got rescheduled, and we had 24 hours to get an episode recorded and posted. But at This Is Rad, we're never gonna leave you high and dry. So Kyle and Burnside sat down in Kyle's backyard and started talking about video games. They also talk about future stuff they wanna do on the podcast. If you are into any of the stuff we're thinking of doing please hit us up because we wanna keep bringing you guys new and interesting stuff because as long as you folks keep listening we're gonna work hard to bring you a quality podcast. Now, I know what you're thinking... “But how did this episode turn out to be over 2 hours long if it's just Kyle and Matt hanging out.” Oh boy, about halfway through this episode things get exciting. Kyle's Mom has a pretty crazy story about the Manson Family. And that leads to stories about dune buggies, boats, parties in the 70's, and a visit to the CIA. Seriously, this one takes some turns and we hope that you enjoy it! Weekly Rads: Kyle – Mindhunter (show) Matthew – PEN15 (show) Get yourself a sweet sweet Summer of Rad 2019 poster!

The 2019 River's Langley Backyard Cookout Extravaganza! 07/31/2019

The 2019 River's Langley Backyard Cookout Extravaganza! We wrap up another Summer of Rad by sitting down with Rivers Langley for our annual backyard cook out. This year Rivers brought along some of his friends (Carter Glascock, Sam Harter, and Courtney Peterson) from the Goods From The Woods universe to join us in the consuming of several pounds of fried seafood. Rivers shares his recipes for a delicious fish fry and everyone eats so much they go a little insane. If you've ever wished more podcasts had extended riffs about Chedder Bay biscuits, your prayers have been answered. Plus, in a TIR first, the weekly rads are at the END of the episode. Chaos Reigns! This has been a lovely Summer of Rad and on behalf of everyone at TIR, we'd like to thank you for spending your summer with us. So sit back, grab a pile of snacks, and hang out with us as we get summertime silly. Weekly Rads: Kyle: Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order (game) Burnside: Spider-Man Far From Home (movie) Carter: HBO and shows like Arli$$ (show) Rivers: Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (movie) Laura: Legends of Tomorrow (show) Kasey: The Curse: The Colorful & Chaotic History of the LA Clippers by Mick Minas (book) Sam: YouTube channels of rednecks reviewing guns (youtube videos) Courtney: Queer Eye season 5 (show) Get yourself a sweet sweet Summer of Rad 2019 poster!

A Goofy Movie 07/24/2019

A Goofy Movie This week Kyle, Matthew, and Laura welcome back Joe Kaye for a feature length commentary on the 90's animated summer classic A Goofy Movie. Thrill as every breaks down which anthropomorphized animal character was their sexual awakening. Plus, Powerlines might be the most underrated artist of the 90's. We also talk about the waking nightmare that is the new trailer for Cats. And you better believe Kyle has some strong opinions about Disney Afternoon. A fun cinematic journey into the summer of rad. As a bonus, on the intro Kyle is joined by Jen Saunderson for some extra fun riffing. They imply they might be starting a new podcast so stand by for more info on that in the future (and you thought there wouldn't be any more teases for new stuff after Comic Con!). Note: If you're trying to watch this episode as an actually commentary, go ahead and pause the movie during the Mack Weldon ad. It's not compensated for in the time code. But you do get Sack Weldon and Blandyman talking! This episode is a star studded affair! Weekly Rads: Kyle – The Ice Cream Man (comic) Jen – A Netflix rabbit hole of late 90's / early 00's lady movies like Under The Tuscan Sun, How to Make an American Quilt, and Devine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood (movies) Get yourself a sweet sweet Summer of Rad 2019 poster!

Popsicles 07/17/2019

Popsicles The summer of rad gets foodie as Kyle prepares a lovely flight of popsicles for a panel of discerning palettes. Kyle and Matthew are joined by Robert Ahn, Taylor VH, and Nancy Clark for a discussion of what constitutes a popsicle versus and ice cream novelty, cartooned themed snacks, and the mysterious allure of the ice cream man. We put together a good solid half hour of chat before we start eating so if you are grossed out by people eating on mic, there is a well designated jumping off point. That said, if you can take a little bit of audible slurping (we tried to eat away from mic as much as possible, we're not monster) then you get some good riffing. Technical Note: We were getting some funky buzzes from the aging power cable we were using. We're working on upgrading and its pretty quiet and only happens a few times but figured we'd let you know that we know.

One Wheels (or “Hey, everybody makes mistakes!”) 06/26/2019

One Wheels (or “Hey, everybody makes mistakes!”) Hey everybody, this week's episode is a doozy! Kyle and Matthew welcome director of photography and adventure punk Jan Michael Losada for a conversation about One Wheels, a crazy ass contraption that you've likely never heard of and Jan has ridden for thousands of miles. Plus, there are some solid tangents about cinematography, VR, and a whole litany of other stuff. Buuuuuuuuuuuuuut... before that high quality episode we had some issues. Ol' producer Kyle had a bit of a goof setting up the recorder and as a result the guest mic was not active for: The Intro! The Ad for Mack Weldon! (go to www.mackweldon.comand use the promo code RAD to get 20% off your first order!) And last but not least, the first 45 minutes of an episode! We started over and still gave you an hour and forty five minute episode where we fixed stuff. For those who are completest, we'll put the lost episode audio at the end (after the closing music) cause there is some fun stuff if you can get past the wonky audio. We include all of it to show, hey, everybody makes mistakes. So kick back, relax, and enjoy! Weekly Rads: Laura - Good Omens (which she is pretty sure she hasn't said before...) (show) Kyle – Mr. Iglesias (show) Matthew – the ill informed Christian boycott of Good Omens where they didn't know which streaming service it was on and mistakenly said “Don't watch it on Netflix” which is funny because it's on Amazon Prime. (thing that happened) Check out Laura's new designs on TeePublic!!! Guys, Kyle's new album Absolute Terror is offfically out!!!
