Parley Radio

Leave it to John to focus on a John! In this episode, our host John decides to present us with another in blind format (where the other hosts don't know what's going to be discussed) - JOHN WILLIAMS. Learn with us about the prolific composer with more nominations than most other Oscar winners and nominees, help us break down the weird obsession the adult industry has with Step-siblings, an...

This week's episode covers the failed D.A.R.E. program and its founder Daryl Gates. Joining us is our friend, Natu Tweh, morning host for South Florida's NPR station, WLRN 91.3 FM The episode getting published this week hit very heavy on our hearts. We cannot always change the past from the mistakes made, but we can help ourselves by preventing mistakes in the future as we reflect on those...

MADONNA - The material girl herself was covered in this episode of Parley Radio. Find out if she really is/was as controversial as the press made it out to be. Ask yourselves why John hasn't seen Speed but has somehow seen Sean Connery's James Bond interpretation. And finally, ask yourself along with upcoming guest Natu Tweh if the Twilight soundtrack is really better than the movie. Only...

Welcome to the first BLIND EPISODE of Parley Radio, where one of us springs a surprise onto the other two and deep dives into a topic the others know nothing about (yet are invested in). Today, we're joined by Terry of The Jukebox Romantics in support of their new album This One Looks Good as Devin presents a deep dive into guitarist Rick Derringer and the Immortal Hulk Hogan/Terry Bolea . Did...

We're back after a long hiatus to bring you a brand new episode covering the band everyone loves to meme - DISTURBED! Join us with our new format as we discuss a quadruple controversy combo over the years, including but not limited to: nazi's, 9/11, Chris B***it, and Israel/Palestine...BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T JUST BE F***ING NORMAL!!!

There's no better way to celebrate 50 EPISODES than have our biggest guest so far hop on with us and talk about an important anniversary this year - WARPED TOUR. Joined by our local hero WILL FRAZIER and our buddy MATT NORMAN, Will regaled us with tales of touring, various bands, crazy interactions, and the current state of affairs with music alongside large festivals and what there is to offe...

This is a re-release of an older episode. Due to recent events, this episode is being brought again to fruition to cover the lives and impact of Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington, two amazing musicians who sadly left the world behind by their own means. This episode is dedicated to our buddy Arthur. We love you. ***** We are not mental health experts, these are only our thoughts and reflections...

A lot of people want to look at the Super Bowls of previous years and talk about performances, but where is the mention of Usher's performance as a Power Ranger? ...Well, not on here, because we don't crack on fashion choices...much. However, what we do discuss is the impact a singer like Usher Raymond has on the industry, and how a wide array of popularity is met with sex appeal, raw tale...

If you ever had an inquiry about how the minds of Devin and John work, look no further than this episode. At the time of streaming, the Grammy's were almost a week prior, and we had not only no interest in watching, but a firm reason to see everything get a little bit more exciting than previous years. How did we make that happen? By creating our predictions along with professional wrestling i...

Did you know that everything is connected in fictional characters? Literally, everything. It can all be linked together. Jay and John were not aware, but through careful research and studies, Devin was able to link everything by defining "canon" in its most basic form. How does it work? You'll have to listen in and find out. Source: U.S. Copyright Office Public Records System

Three years ago, on a cold January afternoon, during a recording of a previous show, Devin lost a game where he was forced to watch the worst Christmas movie ever produced. If you read the title, and you know what it is, then you can sympathize. What follows are his notes as presented from his watch of the film to Jay and John, so they can experience the horror of Kirk Cameron's production with hi...

Could we have found a more lame (controversially) band to cover? ...I dunno, probably? Either way, the private eyes of DARYL HALL AND JOHN OATES are always watching you, whether it's through massive success in singles, very odd character work in the acting world, or a focus on Mark Henry and mistaken identity, we decided to cover them. Special thanks to Danny Attack and the lads from Knives for th...

Take #2 on this recording! Today, we welcome in the band KNIVES (Danny Attack, Adam, Brendan) to talk about their favorite band - BLINK 182. The group that started in the days of band names created off of AOL Instant Messenger brings in a reunion no one saw coming. Mark, Tom, and Travis might now be touring and playing together again, but that's not without some troubles in between. Join us as...

And now for something completely different! This is the FIRST episode of Parley Cinema, where we take you to the movies to pitch the script on a smash or a box office bomb. This week - we take a look into the actor JACK BLACK and see if the demons he worship in Tenacious D left the rest of the world with a bad taste in his movies, or a success in life and on screen. Enjoy the first episode of Parl...

This episode is a different take on what we've done previously, with a more in-depth journalistic take on the events that transpired over the hot July weekend in 1999. This is Woodstock 99. Join us as we look at the bands, the coverage, and the booking of an event that was originally intended to celebrate the anniversary of the Peace and Love festival, that ended in disaster with the deaths of...

Do you also like tacos and burritos? Jennifer Lopez isn't a fan, either of us or South Park, so what better way to annoy her than to cover her for this episode! Join us as we do a deep dive into "Jenny from the Block" if that block is actually in a predominantly upper class part of the Bronx that she talked about constantly without having any association...not like we're calling...

Do you remember where you were on the day Drake deleted all mention of his feud with Kendrick Lamar from social media? Did you think it was also ridiculous for him to use an AI voice of Tupac Shakur on a song? Do you like hearing about beef and all of its qualities? Well, do we have the episode for you! Our episode covers the metrics of KENDRICK LAMAR AND DRAKE. We will say, it's best for them...

It's been a while...since we've published an episode. This week, we look at contingencies, specifically what type of contingencies we can use in the event Aaron Lewis gets popular again as we cover his not-as-controversial band STAIND. The Nu Metal ballad makers are the subject of a man who wears red hats and forgets the Star-Spangled Banner during an MLB World Series game. Also, we have s...

You asked for it. Then you asked for it again. Then we forgot about it, and had you remind us. Then our hearing wasn't the best, so we went to the audiologist to get that checked out and see what was going on. Then we realized there was a lot of wax up there, so we had that cleaned out, and asked you to repeat it one more time. So here it is, the episode you've been waiting on... This is.....

Let's go, girls...and guys...and those with other specified or unspecified genders. The Canadian beauty queen herself, SHANIA TWAIN, is the focus of today. Join Jay and Devin as they discuss Shania's crazy sales, odd choice in husbands, immediately apologizing over a Tweet that came across as a former President's endorsement, and so much more! Plus - Does Jay ever pronounce "Canad...

We don't know either. This week, our scheduled recording got shifted due to life events, so we just decided to make weird and talk about a few things. Jay and Devin reflected upon our Traps episode released a year ago with our friend Justin from CHEER UP DUSTY, the finer points of Marvel Studios, and various half-hearted promotional tactics that sure as hell won't work. We're Parley Ra...

Hello, Little Monsters! I think we had more fun doing this episode than previously expected. We welcomed our pal DREW SCARLET to the show to cover one of his absolute favorites in LADY GAGA - the reawoken incarnation of what it means to be a pop star. Join us as we explore whether or not she’s performed at the AVN’s, how to pronounce “David Bowie,” Taylor Lautner never posing nude, John’s mom  kee...

Have you ever wondered what breed of cat she is? Or if she said what she said was really making her famous instead? Well, you're in luck, because this week, we cover the Moo girl herself - DOJA CAT! Find out why she's a cow, a b****, a troll, and doesn't understand pejoratives enough to be concerning. Also, a plug for some bands you should check out in the very beginning of the episode...

We're back after a long break to discuss a band that appears to be currently on break, which is breaking all of our hearts - PARAMORE. With every new season and new episodes, we have to look at weird ways to express ourselves, like being a hype DJ to present the most depressing songs possible, or ranting about B.o. B. being a flat-Earth conspiracy theorist. Either way, we're delighted to be back a...

Thank you to everyone who listened in over our first year as a show. We can’t thank you enough for your support and kindness as we went through everything. We’re taking a break until January 2024, but we want to make sure you check out the bands that were NOT on our show that wanted to hop on but either missed a chance at scheduling or had something pop up. The Bands in Question: Timshares Mike an...
