Wow. Today we are both slightly insane. Kicked off the show talking about the “50 hottest women in radio” which led into talking about Greg being in a Beauty Pageant. Really. We also received the most awkward (but thank you for making it for us!) piece of fan art that we’ve ever seen. Judge for yourselves.
Greg had Ball Talk about Shakira, a new book about Tiger Woods, Hockey players being Hockey players, a kid being tasered at a baseball game (woo!), and girls mud wrestling at the Kentucky Derby. Sarah’s Entertainment News was about Lindsay Lohan going into Porn (or is it going into her? Bam! I’ll be here all week.), a candle that smells like a hamburger, and, among other things, a woman whose breasts are so big she couldn’t get out of bed.
Thanks for listening! Have a great day, and May the 4th be with you. Yes, we are nerds. Adios!

Good Monday to you! Sarah’s back in town from her trip to Louisiana with many stories of hanging out on a movie set and meetin’ some famous folks, as well as being heckled by rednecks and going to New Orleans. We also talked about time travel, an uncomfortable task Greg has to perform, and some listener email about… yes… sweating.
Ball Talk was epically amazing – Greg talked about a huge hockey fight, a HORRIBLE Notre Dame fight song (though it still can’t touch Scott Stapp), and Mindy McCready talking about Roger Clemen’s dong. Sarah’s Entertainment News was about an eel going into an unfortable place (like the back of a volkswagon), Johnny Depp fighting off a mugger, an amazing submission for the Green Lantern theme song, and a breastmilk story – followed by an even more horrifying breastmilk story from one Greg Nibler.
We ended singing karaoke, and we’re out! Thanks for listening, we’ve got a packed week and we’ll talk to you tomorrow!

Well today’s the day you’ve been waiting for, oh yes indeed, because it’s the continuation of Monday’s show with the one and only Mr. Aaron Duran! You never know how things are going to go when Aaron’s in studio, and this is no exception – today we talked about things ranging from carpal tunnel (we’ve found out a member of the Funemployment Radio show has it! Which one of us is it?? dun dun dunnnn! Yeah, it’s Sarah) to horrific tales that only Aaron could tell. We ended the show with some pretty fucking epic karaoke and then went on our merry way(s).
Many thanks again to our fine sponsors B-Side Tavern and Cassidy’s Restaurant and Bar! We’ll talk to you all on Monday, have fun and safe weekends! Word.

Today on the show we kicked off by talking about Max Headroom! Oh yes, and sweating. Yes, my friends, both Sarah and the Nibman are sweaters, and we aren’t ashamed of it (we’re pretty ashamed). Sarah met an actor from one of her FAVORITE TV SHOWS EVER yesterday, and Nibs regaled us with tales of weird dreams about gangs and secret codes.
Today in Ball Talk Nibman talked about a Blazers/Timbers connection, as well as Dwight Howard being an idiot, a slutty country singer made a sex tape with multiple athletes, and we made a bet on the Kentucky Derby this weekend – American Lion vs. Discreetly Mine – it’s on. Sarah’s Entertainment News was about PeeWee, an angry woman pulling a Mike Tyson, Brooklynese, and the most disturbing love story we’ve ever read.
We then discussed horrific broken teeth stories that include 40s and doorknobs, and called it a day. Also, big thanks to the B-Side Tavern, who are an awesome sponsor of Funemployment Radio! Swing by any day after 4pm and say hello to them, they’re located at 632 E Burnside, and have the greatest patio EVER – be sure to tell Tanya and Joel hello!

Today we recorded a bit earlier, and lack of sleep has made us both a bit delirious! Sarah tried to go to bed early last night, but dancing lesbians kept her up into the night – you’re gonna have to listen to hear what that was about. We both had really weird dreams last night including talking animals and Charlie Sheen, and talked about selling your personal items and how NOT to do it.
Greg’s Balls included Play-off talk, a dude with an OCD habit that’s pretty amusing, more athletes whining on Twitter, and an althete is going to come out of the closet. Before Sarah’s Entertainment News, we had a horrific discussion about chocolate milk and urban legends about it. Holy God. It was terrible. On to the news – today was about Russell Crowe being insane, an actress bragging about not brushing her teeth, a survey that says men prefer cuddling to sex, and the best headline all week.
A big thanks to our awesome sponsor Cassidy’s Bar and Restaurant, swing by and say hello and hit up their awesome happy hour (everyday 4-6 and 10 – 2am)! Thanks for listening!

Good afternoon to you! We kicked off the show recounting what we did the night before, Nibs spent last night watching the Blazer game and Sarah went to History Pub at the Kennedy School to hear talk of Portland and it’s sordid history – as always, it was awesome! Much talk of skiing, snowboarding, Nerdy TV night, Twilight (not in a good way), and the Portland Soapbox Derby (woo!)
Nibs’ Ball Talk was about Big Ben, LeBron James is an asshole, a bad soccer play, and how moronic racist athletes should stay off of Twitter. Sarah’s news covers Jesse James dad, who the hell is Justin Bieber, and Amy Winehouse drunkenly falls and injures herself…. because, you know, that doesn’t sound familiar. At all.
We ended playing a game where Sarah reminisced about her childhood and Nib’s had to guess what songs she was playing, and then called it a day.
Thanks for listening, we’ll talk to you tomorrow!

Today was an awesome Monday! You know it’s a good day when you wake up with sharpie knuckle tattoos. We started off with chat about what we were up to this weekend, much whiskey was consumed and Sarah is, yet again, in pain from softball this weekend…. and, perhaps, from falling on a homeless man. Yup.
Gregs Ball Talk had news about the Blazers (woo!), Big Ben and his ashy penis, a completely disturbing video, and a pretty hilarious Tiger Woods cartoon. Sarah’s news: Bret Michaels, Lindsay Lohan continuing to be a shitshow, and cocaine-filled vaginas – thanks for the details, Pam Grier.
Aaron Duran graced us with his presence, and we talked about Batman and, of course, since it’s Aaron Duran, it deviated into a discussion about radioactive sperm.
Thanks for listening folks! We’ll be back tomorrow with a new show, hope you all are having a great Monday. Word.

It’s Friday! Woo! Today we were both a tad hungover, but play through the pain we did and it was glorious. We chatted about the Blazers, Sarah’s impromptu pub crawl, meeting a famous actor, angry cab drivers, and a crazy person walking down the street screaming the weirdest thing ever at Sarah. Think it’s sound-bite worthy.
Nibs did Ball Talk (with no grey penis’ today, yay!), including evil people booing at an inopportune time, the Gay world series, and the NFL Draft. Sarah’s news was about Jersey Shore, men doing something strange with their junk, and a foundation that exists soley to help the weakest Baldwin.
We ended with a bang doing one of our favorite segments here on the show, and now we’re off to drink beer in the backyard! Have a great weekend, we’ll talk to you on Monday with special guest Aaron Duran!

Hello friends! Today we talked more about Nibs ‘meth head walk’, that has folks convinced that he is, indeed, a closet meth head. Sarah talked about going to a craft fair at the Eagle’s Lodge, and then Nibler went into Ball Talk with speaks of Timbers (Go Timbers!), Blazers (Go Blazers!), Stephen Colbert making fun of the Beavers, and Big Ben and his grey penis. Really reals.
Sarah had Entertainment news about Courtney Love being a crazy person, Heather Locklear might be locked up, and Comedy Central’s response to murderous threats toward Trey Parker and Matt Stone.
Many thanks to Cassidy’s Restaurant & Bar for sponsoring our fine show! Check them out online at www.cassidysrestaurant.com and look at their AMAZING Happy Hour menu – I’m going there today. I am very hungry.

…and we’re back! Today we kicked off the show with tales of Greg’s venture into stardom on the set of the TV series Leverage yesterday. Sarah went to a show last night and saw a pretty famous lead singer guy, and then we talked about white-trashy-ness and Greg gave a demonstration on how to play the part. Oh, and there might be a cure for Tenitis! Hot dog.
Ball Talk was kind of a sad one today, considering that the Blazers got DESTROYED by the Suns last night – yes, there was a many a grown man with a tear in his eye last night. Also, there is more news about Big Ben, a man is accused of being too smart to join the NFL, and a team loses a championship… because one of their own players scored a winning goal… into their own net.
Sarah’s Entertainment news was pretty gross today, including a story about Steven Segal giving ladies breast exams, a man losing a very important part of his body, a man claiming to be a 100-year-old vampire, and a woman lighting herself on fire, Zoolander style. We ended with some spontaneous karaoke of one of our FAVORITE SONGS EVER.
Thanks for listening! Also, be sure to visit our fine sponsors (if you please!) B-Side Tavern (620 E. Burnside) and Cassidy’s (1331 SW Washington St.) and tell them you heard about them on Funemployment Radio.

...and here is our amazing listener Ben with his buddy and his Funemployment Radio t-shirt - in Iraq. Thanks for the picture, Ben, we're happy your home!
...and here is a dude TOTALLY screwing his team by making a goal.... for the opposing team:
Today is the day you’ve all been waiting for… but you just didn’t know it. Yes, throughout the week we’ve had a slew of our favorite guests, from Brian in the Punk Group, to the dynamic duo that is Tim and Bill Oakley. Today we present you with the most disturbing, most graphic, and hilariously awesome duo that is – Lisa and Brian Wood of Big-Ass Sandwiches. Please listen to them regale you with tales of working in the food service industry, talk about music, and play (again and again and again) the most hilarious soundbite drinking game you’ve heard. Thanks for listening!
Today Greg and Sarah fill the time with just the two of them, and boy, we do know how to kill time. We end up talking about a bunch of stories from high school, from horror ones (yes, Michelle, Sarah still hates you. Wait, what?), to hilarious ones. We create a, how should we say it, potpourri of bits including a brand-new Ronnie and Sammie segment, and a couple of other… interesting ideas that we came up with. And yes, there was malt liquor involved. Thanks for listening!
It’s what you’ve been waiting for, oh yes! It’s part two of our interview with both Tim and Bill Oakley! Hot dog! And speaking of dogs, we do, indeed, premiere a brand-new bit on this episode of Funemployment Radio… Yes, it is the world-premiere of the saga of two best friends – Butters & Tim! And it’s just as ridiculous as it sounds. The more we imbibed, the slurrier the show got (we actually had about 2 ½ shows but had to chop it down to one due to the fact we all sounded insane), and it was great times for all. Hope you enjoy, thanks for listening!
Happy vacation day, friends! We have a very special show today, including the one and only Brian from the Punk Group! Yes, it was a free-form discussion on anything from Blazers talks to The Punk Group auditioning for America’s Got Talent, and Jaime Walters. Really.
Nibler did then tell a truly terrible story in which Sarah played a joke on him (which she had forgotten about until today) that made him totally pissed – and now she’s going to have to let him get even. Crap.
We finished off talking about humping two sisters, girls gone wild, and, randomly enough, Spain! We hope that you’ve enjoyed our vacation episode, and we’ll be back with more pre-recorded goodness for tomorrow!
Today was the meeting of the minds, the cream of the crop, the coming together of two men with the same last name (that sounds wrong). Yes, my friends, today we had not one Oakley, oh no, but TWO Oakleys in the studio! It was one of the funnest shows we’ve ever had, so fun, in fact, that we had to cut it into two shows. This first part is more sober and deals with a lot of Oscar and Simpsons talk, as well as what it’s like working in the television industry. Stand by for part two! Oh yes, we’re going to make you wait for it.
Bill Oakley presents a gift that is the Cause Of and Solution To, all of life's problems!:
VACATION EPISODE 1:
Today we had one of our favorite guests in, yes, Sarah’s older brother… the one and only Tuggy! Today was a bit different with him; let’s just say that it was less Sailor-ey and more Hooker-ey. Yes, we finally get to hear what life is like on the Seven Seas without a woman to talk to …. Until you pull into a foreign port. He also brought along with him a brand new drink on Funemployment Radio, invented by Nibs and his buddies many years ago..….oh yes, we drank Cowboy Spritzers… and it was glorious.
Good Tuesday morning to you fine folks! Gregs shoot ran a little later than anticipated yesterday so we woke up bright and early this morning to record a brand-new episode for you all! Good lord. I forgot that 6am actually existed.
Today we talked about weekends, including Sarah’s new softball injury (that is being dealt with by duct tape), the Timbers game, thrift store shopping and the clientele that goes along with it, and, of course, Mr. Greg’s burgeoning film career. Oh! And a lot of talk about fake boobs and collagen injections.
We continued on to Ball Talk, where Nibs had a disturbing video that included a talking tattoo, Shaq is threatening his ex-wife through his children, Charles Barkley is the most hated man in Portland, and encouragement the Japanese way. Sarah’s entertainment News consisted of Lindsay Lohan being a drunken whore, breast implants being used as paper weights, and a vibrator being mistaken for a bomb. Yes, it’s a weird news day.
Thanks for listening guys, have a great day!

Happy Friday to you all! Today we had a special guest in studio – Mr. Timber Joey, Mascot for the Portland Timbers! More on that in a minute. We kicked off the show with exciting news – Greg just landed a job on Leverage! The curse might be broken! Also, we recapped Sarah’s never-told experience in the land of VIP’s in LA, as well as places to go camping and we introduced a new sponsor to the show – Cassidy’s Restaurant! We are so excited to have them on board, check them out at www.cassidysrestaurant.com for details on their amazing Happy Hour food. I am hungry.
Timber Joey came in, and told us all about what it’s like to be the mascot for the Timbers, as well as his journey to get there and some fun stories of his favorite memories of Timbers games. Greg then went into Ball Talk with speaks of the Timbers (game tomorrow! A-yo!), Green shiney taunting men, Big Pappi vs. Jay-Z, and a really gross story about a dude vomiting on people.
Sarah had Entertainment News about Jesse James and Skelator Whore, Kiefer Sutherland being Kiefer Sutherland, and Nicolas Cage’s magical Pyramid he built. We ended the show thanking Big-Ass Sandwiches for their amazing Funemployment Radio sandwich they’ve had all week, as well as our new sponsor, Cassidy’s!
Thank you for listening, have a fun and safe weekend!
Go Timbers!

Today started on a bummer note for the Nibman because, alas, his favorite singer Peter Steele, lead singer of ‘Type O Negative, died last night. After proper mourning we then delved into our adventure that was Whiskey Wednesday, as well as the show that Sarah went to last night (and was almost not allowed into because of a crazy pot-smoking lady). Also, we discussed Battlestar Galactica (yes, I know we’re like four years behind on this) and Sarah found out who the last Cylon is... and gave her commentary.
After that Mr. Rick Emerson graced us with his presence, and we proceeded to talk about Tila Tequila and her gremlin face, Matthew McConaughey, somebody stealing his theme music, and what’s going on in his life. Nibs had Ball Talk featuring Blazers news, as well as Big Ben’s penis, a scandal in the Bass-hunting community, Keith Hernandez, and the GREATEST THEME SONG YOU’LL EVER HEAR. Seriously. And it features one of Rick’s favorite singers of all time! Not really.
Sarah’s Entertainment News featured news of Larry King not having a pre-nup (yikes), Charlie Sheen going all Britney Spears, evil clowns that you can hire to scare your young children, and a woman that became a nymphomaniac… all because of her Wii.
Thanks for listening, and be sure to tune into Outlook Portland this weekend where Rick will be talking to Rod Englert, the man who created the field of blood-spatter analysis. Many thanks to Big-Ass Sandwiches again, and we’ll talk to you tomorrow, when we’ll have a Portland Icon in-studio with us. Bye!

Happy Whiskey Wednesday to you all! Today we kicked off the show talking about Lost, V, Glee and Tombstone, and had some scotch and storytelling about the Wild, wild west. Oh yes! We also talked about the Storm & the Balls show that is happening tonight – it should be epic… and kind of amazing. ☺
Nibs’ Ball Talk consisted of play-off chat, as well as a former NBA star being charged with kidnapping, Jerry Jones was caught badmouthing his players, and about the Portland Timbers! Ayo! Sarah’s entertainment news was all-infidelity, all-the-time, with news about Larry King, Jesse James, Elin Woods, and Charlie Sheen, as well as a crazy Tom Cruise update and the kids of Jersey Shore being bullies – and it’s pretty damn awesome.
We ended singing some Johnny Cash, and talking about Big-Ass Sandwiches – swing by to grab your ‘Funemployment Radio’ sandwich before the week is out!
Thanks for listening, and be sure to stop by the B-Side Tavern (on 6th and E. Burnside) for many beers, and tell them you heard about it from Funemployment Radio!

Today marked our 101st show (woo!), and we kicked it off by chatting about music we listen to on rainy days (more interesting than it sounds! Probably.), as well as what we did for the rest of our weekends (Sarah played softball, Greg auditioned for a movie). We also talked about TV show obsessions, and that Greg is basically an 80-year-old man trapped in a 30-somethings body.
Nibs had a new Ball Talk which was all about Big Ben and his amazing speaking skills, as well as a way-too-honest young man who talks about why his pitching skills were a bit off – it is genius. Sarah had Entertainment News about, what do you know? Jesse James! Yes, he’s the gift that keeps on giving, as well as details on a new reality show, and an update on Oprah’s sordid past – it’s pretty disturbing.
We then played a bunch of horse soundbites.
Thanks for listening, we’ll talk to you tomorrow, oh, and be sure to swing by Big-Ass Sandwiches this week for the Funemployment Radio Big-Ass Sandwich – it is incredible. Bye!

Today we went on Cort and Fatboy’s show and were live for a Funemployment Radio/Cort and Fatboy super awesome mash-up episode! If you didn’t catch it this morning you can hear it at www.cortandfatboy.com - it was epic. After swinging by Big-Ass Sandwiches for our Funemployment Radio Big-Ass sandwich (Lisa & Brian – you rule!) we came to the Nibler household to record our episode!
Due to technical difficulties we had a bit of late start, but we soon got it up and running and re-capped our weekends. Aaron Duran, of www.geekinthecity.com was our special guest for the day, and he came with some homemade Cosmo’s (quite manly) to drink, as well as his drinking horn (of course).
Nibs had a new Ball Talk featuring an array of stories, including Tiger Woods talking to himself, Brandon Roy not being able to play, and his favorite Ball Talk memories from the past 100 episodes. Sarah had Entertainment News about, of course, Jesse James, Amy Winehouse and her leaky boobs (really), Jim Carey being an idiot, and she also recapped her favorite stories… including one with Miss Tila Tequila! Oh, and she released a new song today. It’s the worst thing you’ll hear all week – and yes, I’m serious.
We ended the show talking with Aaron some more, and then we sang a song near and dear to our hearts, and relevant to our show. You might hate it, but Greg and Sarah have full-blown Stockholm Syndrome about it.
We’re out, thanks for listening, and thanks for sticking with us for these 100 days we’ve been doing the podcast! We appreciate each and every one of you… and once again, THANK YOU.
