Mon, 1 October 2007  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. |
Tue, 5 June 2007 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! Comments[5] |
Thu, 19 April 2007 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. Comments[2] |
Sun, 25 March 2007 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. Comments[15] |
Thu, 8 March 2007 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. Comments[0] |
Thu, 1 March 2007  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. Comments[0] |
Sun, 25 February 2007 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. Comments[4] |
Wed, 14 February 2007 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! Comments[0] |
Thu, 8 February 2007 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. Comments[0] |
Fri, 2 February 2007 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. Comments[0] |
Tue, 23 January 2007  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! Comments[1] |
Wed, 10 January 2007 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! Comments[0] |
Thu, 4 January 2007 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. Comments[0] |
Tue, 2 January 2007  Our London remote broadcast is TODAY, JANUARY 2ND! T.E. will be broadcasting live from the Prince Alfred Pub in Bayswater (112 Queensway, Bayswater tube) while the remaining Jackasses attempt to assemble the regular recording equipment back in Austin. Monkeys and typewriters, friends. Monkeys and typewriters. This one has disaster written all over it! Why not watch (or listen to) the trainwreck yourself, LIVE? 13:00 GMT-6, or 19:00 GMT if you're a limey! Category: general -- posted at: 6:57 AM Comments[0] |
Fri, 22 December 2006 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. |
Thu, 14 December 2006 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. Comments[1] |
Wed, 6 December 2006 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. Comments[0] |
Thu, 30 November 2006 It's the Least Worst of Volume I! Once again! Sorry, Peckers, but our live Christmas show in Austin is in full swing, and it's taking up approximately 26 hours of our working days. It'll be at least another week before we can bring you new material. In the meantime, catch up with our first season with Abbey's premier CFR compilation! Reminisce and stuff. Join the Peckers at chickenfriedradio.com and troll the message boards, ya weirdo. Comments[0] |
