Chicken Fried Radio!

It's the Fear of Commitment Episode! It's about being crazy, dig? As expected, Ryan, Christian, and Abbey veer way off-script and indulge in cautionary tales from their misspent youth. Wait--what's that? No T.E.? That's right, Peckers. It's the first and (so far) only truly T.E.-free episode. A kinder, gentler CFR? Or the ravings of three insane people without their caretaker to guide them? Pickle. This one's 75 plus minutes, and 28 megs. Plus, this one's in the old-fashioned .mp3 format. 'Cuz we're crazy like that. Listen to voices: Check out our website, our forum, our wiki, our cafepress swag, our myspace page, and download ringtones from myxer.com!

Another blast from the past to gear y'all up for a Very Special Episode coming soon. Episode 2 is the second and final of the pre-Huey days. Recorded in September 2005, I'm told the ep. bears the title The 'Bad x9 Music' Episode or something. 11.2 megs in girth. Do listen to The Shaggs if you're having doubts about starting that band. As always, come to www.chickenfriedradio.com and join the revolution!

It's the Least Worst of Volume III-2! Or something. Enjoy 35 minutes of warmed-over comedy meatloaf that you didn't finish when you ate episode 73. Compiled by Mad Captain Ian. Next week it's the Voltron of Doom episode, wherein we try to find out what makes the Axis Powers so twisted. Always never forget to go here: www.chickenfriedradio.com or here: www.cafepress.com/chickenfriedrad. Oh, yeah. And we have pics here: www.flickr.com/chickenfriedradio.

Hang In There: Part II This week, instead of producing an audio episode, we go the pull-something-out-that-we-saved-for-a-rainy-day route to present the stunning conclusion of our first story involving the gang at ConsumerLink!

Attention all mechapeckers! It's been two years to the day since we last engaged in a self-congratulatory clip show, and frankly that is unacceptable. Remember way back, when grains were kept whole? When Uncle Ryan was around, and the idea of live broadcasts still sounded like a good idea? It's the Least Worst of CFR, Volume 3, wherein we meet the penis pump judge, learn what life would be like without the cow, and finally uncover the secrets of cult control. All best bits from Episodes 30-44 for your listening pleasure. This episode will occupy 77 minutes of brain space, and maybe, just maybe, teach you how to love. The song is Robots by Flight of the Conchords. Check out our website, forum, wiki, and swag store, not to mention our brand spanking new free ringtones from Myxer.com.

You've come a long way, baby! As promised in an earlier episode, here it is at last. For those new to the show, you'll be surprised to find that CFR's original format was somewhat thoughtful, occasionally erudite, and featured 34% fewer F-bombs. Listen as T.E. patronizes Ryan! Hear Ryan challenge T.E.'s chauvinism! Learn about Dead Groovy! This was recorded way back in August 2005, when hurricane Katrina was a petite tropical storm, and there were only 12 Scary Movie sequels! It's about exactly an hour, and fills up 13.6 megs of your hard drive. Check out our website, our forum, our wiki, our cafepress swag, our myspace page, and download ringtones from myxer.com!

It's the CFR Sketches Compilation: part II! It's the best of Crackhead Cosby, Coach Miller, Officer Trevino, Floofy, and all the others. Compiled from January 2007 to March 2008, this compilation includes every sketch the Jackasses recorded from episode 60 to episode 71. It's 55 minutes and 19 megs. For all you neo-Luddites, we're posting it as an old-school .mp3 file. Don't forget to check out the ever-expanding wiki page here, and buy some non-useless CFR swag here!

Six months late, but here it is, the first official Chicken Fried Radio vidcast. This release format is still in its experimental stages. BTW, each time you view one of our videos, we get a pinky nail closer to quitting our dayjobs. Enjoy!

On July 7, 2007, Xian and Abbey tied the knot. T.E. busted out his Swiss Army knife and sliced through it, which was good, since the knot was in Abbey's puppet hair. Also, Ryan later serenaded us, Finn officiated, Reuben showed up for the free food and booze, and Craig looked on in horror. It's the Jackass Wedding Spectacular '07 video, now available as an .mp4 for play on your iPod or portable media player of your choice.

Back by popular demand! That means two people asked for it! It's that 1999 chestnut by Reuben and Xian, The Freak Show: Boardroom of Doom! Enjoy this pre-CFR nugget and wonder aloud why Reuben and Xian bothered in the first place. Check out the humble origins of Floofy, Mr. Man, the Dustmites, and the Space Hicks. Now converted to mp4 format for all that watch-on-your-ipod goodness.

It's the Episode 65 Leftovers episode! We recorded so much lame crap on January 2, 2008, we couldn't possibly fit it all into one podcast! Enjoy. It's about 16 minutes.

During our extended hiatus, our unofficial retainer Mad Captain Ian developed a sister site of chickenfriedradio.com, at http://cfrremix.podomatic.com/ Hosted by Ryantron 2300, Ian's CFR Remix project looks promising. Check it out, won't you?

Wise fwom yo gwave! The Jackasses have returned from hibernation for an all-new 2008 season. This is the This Time We Mean It episode, wherein T.E., Christian, and Abbey make the case as to why 2007 should be totally stricken from the record. Featuring Reuben Barr in a new Freak Show sketch, and LCD Soundsystem's All My Friends as the closing song. This show is 67 minutes and change. Next time it's How Many Chromosomes Does It Take... as we ponder some of God's more outrageous practical jokes predicated among his children. As T.Rex sang, Hello. Hello. It's good to be back. It's good to be back. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello!

My fellow Peckerheads, our long national nightmare is over. Chicken Fried Radio has returned! It's the Things You Should Like But Don't episode, and it's the first in our newly-slightly-tweaked format! With a new release schedule and a HUGE project yet to be unveiled, you'll want to stay tuned and log into our message board at chickenfriedradio.com to keep up with the details. This episode is 57 minutes long and features the song, Colonial Williamsburg by Tris McCall.

It's the Coup d'etat! episode, wherein the Pecker Generals (and Mystery Pecker X) commandeer the mic. Explore the close knit and not-at-all pathetic world of the Fleshlight message board, learn how to make money off of fat people, learn about KFP's unicorn fantasies, and hear the story of Ian letting a squirrel ride him all afternoon. This one clocks in at 80 minutes, and is capped off by Praise the Lord by Paul Oakenfield. Viva la revolucion!

It's the It's the End of the World As We Know It (And CFR Feels Fine) episode! Officially the last of the 1.0 series, Ryan rejoins the Jackasses for our not-really-final hurrah. We might as well have coined this one, The Only Sure Things In Life, episode, as the majority of our stories center around our good friends Death and Taxes. Listen, and ask yourself: what are Abbey, Ryan, and T.E. so pissed off about? And what is Christian (always) smoking? The episode is 70 minutes long. Slated for the summer is a series of non-canonical stop-gap installments to prevent you Peckers from enduring heavy withdrawal symptoms. There are sure to be some surprises. Season 4, and the official launch of CFR 2.0, is slated for September 1, 2007. TTFN.

It's the I Saw a Leprechaun Up In a Tree! episode. Ostensibly all about things Irish and/or drunk (in belated honor of St. Patrick's Day), the three Jackasses spend way more time waxing ludicrous about go-nowhere personal tales of love, love lost, and talking cars. As that 8-bit shopkeeper in the Nintendo game from years past once urged, Buy something, will ya? at our Cafe Press shop. Also, join the Peckerhead nation via our website, and do all those things we've ordered you to do time and time again. This episode is 77 minutes long, and features an unrequited love (for CFR) song by Mayhem.

It's the all sketches compilation episode, hosted by Antonin and Micha. Forty-plus minutes of our favorite CFR sketches recorded over the last year-and-three-quarters. Episode 61 is just around the corner. With what is your breath baited, Peckers? Anticipation? Nightcrawlers? Check out what your fellow CF-Rnatics have to say at our message board.

While episode 61 is slated for March 11, wash down our recent new episode with this heady desert wine from March 2006. It's The Kids Are All Right, another Ryan-era, CFR-Mark 1 nugget from the archives. Check us out and meet other Peckers at chickenfriedradio.com. Read our message boards to find out about our big plans afoot for CFR 2.0.

It's the Depeche Mode episode. Depeche Mode translates loosely into fast fashion, which you already knew, therefore you can tell this this episode is all about the fabulous world of fashion! Big clothes, small clothes, edible clothes, regrettable clothes, and no clothes. And extra toes. That's what little CFR is made of. Although you might miss it, T.E. utters a key phrase somewhere during the procedings. Apparently, elements are going to differ in these parts! Find out what, why, when, where, who, and how much money when you tune in to episode 60, one of the last of the CFR episodes, version 1.0. Join the merry band of Peckers at www.chickenfriedradio.com and buy stuff from us.

It's the Floofy Show! Drastic times call for stopgap measures, or so says Floofy. Floofy hosts, with Markie Byoogre, an episode of the long-running Freak Show. Normally hosted by Freak World superstar Piebold Gonatious, this episode becomes a vehicle for Floofy's boundless vanity and ass-whooposity. 25 minutes of Jackass indulgence! As always, come check out our CFR message board at chickenfriedradio.com and join the Freak Nation!

It's the It's All Geek to Me episode, from January 2006. Another classic Ryan episode. How much don't you want to know about World of Warcraft? Listen and find out! We've got some newly recorded material at CFR studios which we'll be releasing before our dramatic unveiling of CFR 2.0. In the meantime, check out our always-active message board at chickenfriedradio.com.

It's the Shiny Train Wreck episode. This is a fan-favorite, and it's also Ryan's last regular appearance. The title says it all, really. We were utterly unprepared. This was recorded in May of 2006. Check out our website at chickenfriedradio.com and meet other Peckers. Join the Peckerhead Army! Conform to our strict regimen of being different.

It's the Forrest Hump episode, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bum. Hard (ahem) to believe that it's taken us a year-and-a-half to get to the sex industry as a CFR topic, but it finally arrived. (Get it? Arrived is a synonym of came! ) Listen, and you'll be able to answer these questions: When does a man become like Fraiser? Will a fleshlight help you find your way back to camp? And does that girl grinding in my crotch really like me? This episode is 79 minutes. The song is Girls of Porn by Mr. Bungle. Celebrate Season 3 of CFR by buying our swag, and posting on our message board at chickenfriedradio.com. CFR wants to meet singles just like you!

T.E. is probably back from Merry ol' England, but we have yet to rev our CFR engines for season 3. Until we hit you with episode 59, enjoy this, our New Year's (2006) episode... featuring the Great Ryan Hillini! Stay tuned, Peckerinos. We'll be back with a vengeance soon. Check out our message board in the meantime, at chickenfriedradio.com and buy some CFR swag from cafepress.com! Do it!

Season 3 kicks off in style with our first-ever London Remote Broadcast! T.E. flies first class without paying for it and winds up in a Victorian-era London slum. Here him wax drunkenly as Abbey and Christian share stories of Christian's recent hemorrhoidectomy! Fun! The episode clocks in at 58 minutes. Check out our message board at chickenfriedradio.com and meet other Peckers! The opening theme is You and Me and Chicken Fried Radio Makes 3 (vocal-less club mix) by Christian Huey, and the closing song is Hitsville UK by the Clash. Stay tuned, as we're (finally) planning an advertising blitz for season 3 early in the year. Cheers.

It's the -57 Channels and Nothing On- episode! It's a Jackass-palooza as we return from our hiatus to ostensibly discuss all things television. Of course, what would CFR be without tangential rants, technical SNAFUs, and disgusting personal anecdotes? The song is -A Fistful of We Three Kings- by the High Balls. Limeys! Help us out! The next LIVE CFR BROADCAST will be our much-anticipated LONDON REMOTE on JANUARY 2ND. We need a venue! Free Coke Blake and CFR stickers for everyone! Visit the message boards at chickenfriedradio.com for more info.

When, oh when, you ask will the Great Pumpkin return? Assuming that the Great Pumpkin represents a new episode of Chicken Fried Radio, that wait should be over next Tuesday, December 19, 2006. We will finally return from our extended hiatus with stories aplenty. Be there. In the meantime, enjoy this nugget from our archives. Episode 9, the Family Focus episode, from October 2005. Cheers.

Still on hiatus! If it's any consolation to the Peckerhead Army, our Austin Christmas show has been a rousing success so far. Meanwhile, re-indulge your sicky bone with episode 8 of CFR: The Whole God Thing! Recorded in October 2005.
