Three Things With J.R.

Gary and Bryan are back to talk about the band's new song finally being out, available to stream, download, purchase. It's a "Brand New Day". The boys also talk about some things; like jobs, the Kings of The Wild Things, and a bunch of stupid stuff, like how much better food tastes when it's expensive, Cover Band Central, and more. Will Wheaton on Arsenio Hall TheBandBiG.com Kings of the Wild Thin...

Finally, Mr. Bobby Sims is on the show, somewhat reluctantly, but we got him. JR does Three Things about A Christmas Story, Lynrd Skynrd, and Squid Game, plus, we close out the show with one of Ice House Road's best songs, from their second album "SSS" Ice House Road on Spotify

TheBandBiG! at the Battle of the Bands, JR Auditions for a musical, JR goes to see a musical, and he likes it! Cookie's BBQ Sauce, and our special guest, Sara O'Connor. JR's cousin that is living the dream in Breckenridge Colorado.

JR is back, he's got Three Things, a monologue and a song for you, as well as an interview with his Aunt Elaine all the way from the heartland, Emmetsburg Iowa.

JR is gonna take a few weeks off, so he's got a lot of things to get off his chest before his little vacation. And while he's away, you should check out his other show, Crutchfield: The Podcast. It's available pod places, also, here's a link: https://www.crutchfield.com/podcast

JR goes worldwide, in more ways than one, does a reading of a vintage "Three Things", checks for vaccines at a comedy show, and then he gets in to this week's Three Things. Practice make perfect, Crutchfield: The Podcast, and a kink in the armor.

DC Comedian Alex Castagne is my special guest this week. I caught him waiting for the bus, with 1% battery left on his phone, you might want to see how that plays out. Also, JR goes deep for Thing #1, and you get to hear Jack White's influence on TheBandBiG! With a recording from band practice.

Meghan Hensley is J.R.'s daughter-in-law, married to Chester Hensley. And while driving her two daughters, my granddaughters, to the beach, we connected on Facebook Messenger and did the podcast thing. JR also has Three Things of his own to tell you about. The main thing, Yacht Rock, and his dumb guy voice. More info on the Battle of The Bands gig in September Get tickets to the Chris Alan comedy...

This week, after JR gets his Three Things off his chest, he talks to Inspirational Speaker, Massage Therapist, Equine Facilitative Connection Coach, and brand new Stand-up Comic, Elysia Jane Buss. She showed up at an open mic JR was hosting, and JR called her out of the blue to do the show, and wow, things got funny, deep, and stupid, in all the right ways. Fifth Element Massage, Inc. Global Equin...

Brandon and JR have one big thing in common, we've both crashed our motorcycles, and we don't mind talking about it. The crash itself, the aftermath, it's effect on our families, etc. Also, JR gives you Three things of his own, including some talk about those pesky statues.

I wasn't sure who to call, and then Kent Called me, so he's my special guest this week, cuz, why not? We talk about Disc Golf, yellow jackets, well pumps, more disc golf, cleaning out your fridge, Gold Cup soccer, and a stupid video that you will want to watch over and over. Don't click this link to the video till you've heard the whole podcast: H.Y.C.Y.BH? - YouTube

This week's guest is Road Manager and Personal Assistant to Lana Del Ray. Yeah, that Lana Del Ray. He's also worked for Rihanna, Drake, Galantis, and many more. He also happens to be JR's girlfriend's younger brother. I called him out of the blue, he answered, and we chatted a lot about his job, his sister, Three Things, and more.

JR is off on vacation, so, here's a replay of the most listened to episode of TTWJR

Just JR and his thoughts this time. It's summer, listenership is down, you can help, share the show with people you know. This week's Three Things include some talk about religion, an Eagle, and laundry. It's really compelling stuff here. Also, some links to videos mentioned in the show: JR's Beach, Kite, Drone video An Eagle's Trail documentary link

J.R. called Ray Caddell without any warning, but Ray didn't answer. Instead J.R. and Ray scheduled a time to talk, and talk they did!! They talked music, real estate, Charlottesville's 4th of July fireworks (duh, I mean, it's Ray Caddell), but also a lot of other stuff, like Ray's family, How Ray helped JR get his day job 25 years ago, how JR used to mow Ray's grass, how to run a band, vaccination...

This week's guest is Vegas Comedian Garrett Hall. He tells jokes, he's in the Air Force, he has a dog, and he's nice enough to do my show with absolutely no warning whatsoever. He's the kind of good people that doesn't have to tell you he's good people. Check him out at @ghallcomedy on Instagram and TikTok. 

JR totally cold called his dad to get caught up, and get you, the TTWJR listener up to speed on how he's doing since Covid (he had it, pretty bad) how he celebrates Memorial Day, and a pretty epic Three Things.

JR received some "less than complimentary" feedback on his comedy, and he likes it, he loves it, he wants some more of it. Hear the comedy set that offended people so bad they walked out of the show and sent a nasty-gram.

This week's guest is a blast from J.R.'s past life. JR used to go to church, and Dean was the pastor of that church. Yes, J.R. is an atheist now, so, you think it might be interesting for him to talk to his old pastor? You be the judge. Also, Dean has a great Third Thing…unless you are Irish, then you might not like it…unless you are Irish with a sense of humor (Like Dean and J.R.), then it's fine...

JR ambushed another good friend and stuck them on a podcast. This week's guest is Duane Lomis. Duane has worked for Arlington County Public Schools as a video engineer for 25 years, and when he's not doing that, he's got his own company that does Audio/Video installations, web conferencing, and more. He is as busy as a one man video guy in a pandemic could possibly be. But yeah, he came up with Th...

This week JR hangs with his coworker and friend Chris Mullins from Southwest Virginia (which means he talks kinda different, but in a good way). JR's three things include, the vaccine, new albums by Royal Blood and Dropkick Murphys, and JR's failed Rock n Roll moment, and that's all before the commercial break!

This week, J.R. rings up another unsuspecting friend to get caught up. Once again, someone that didn't know they were going to be on a podcast turns out to be a great podcast guest! Also, JR gets even more irresistible, dark, and stupid with his own Three Things.

Wow, you are in for a treat this week. A really long, delicious, long, treat. John Worrall is the special guest, I called him out of the blue, and found out we had 30 years of stuff to talk about, including, but not limited to: Video Games, Legos, learning how to drive, family, what's wrong with America, Falls Church, Charlottesville, Crutchfield, cancer, John coming out as Transgender, the spectr...

One of my favorite people, and one of a few people that are directly responsible for me being a musician that plays music with other people, like, in a band, for real. Also, J.R.'s Three Things comes in threes this week: Buying cars is fun, Frederick Douglas, and Happy Gilmore

This week, JR calls a fellow comedian and sticks him on the show. John Rademacher rises to the occasion and kills it with Three Quick Things. Also, JR finally finished "Washington, A Life" so he's able to listen to other things for Thing 2 inspiration.
