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.
Have a great day, folks!

…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.
Have a great day!

...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.

Good Friday to you, sirs and madams. Today we chatted about what we’re doing this weekend, strange things dogs eat (and downright disgusting), George Clooney, the Oregon Coast, and Greg is auditioning for a movie tomorrow! Sarah relived her days as a traffic reporter, and we gave some behind-the-scenes info about past jobs in the media.
Nibs had a new Ball Talk featuring planes flying over Tiger Woods with taunting messages, creepy coaches being all molesty, and U of O being unable to get anyone to coach for them. Sarah’s Entertainment News had info about the Lost finale, as well as the worst casting EVER for the upcoming film about Kurt Cobain’s life, and Jesse James used Sandra Bullock’s credit card to pay for hookers. Really.
Thanks for listening, and be sure to listen Monday when we’ll be celebrating our 100th episode! Also, be sure to tune in to www.pdx.fm on Monday morning to hear us on the Cort and Fatboy show @ 10am, and later on in the afternoon we’ll have our 100th episode up featuring special guest Aaron Duran! …and one more thing, Monday also is the start of the weeklong “Funemployment Radio” special at Big-Ass Sandwiches; head down there to find out what it is! It’s goddamn delicious, is what it is. Okay, done whoring, have a good weekend!

Happy Thursday, you good lookin' fuckers. Today we recapped our amazing nerdy nights (Nibs watched the Biography Channel, Sarah watched Battlestar Galactica, woo!), as well as discussed all of the amazing songs that people are putting on YouTube to accompany Sarah’s “Calvin Johnson” dance. Greg regaled us with a tale of his drunken karaoke singing (we have video!) and a cab driver in LA tried to kiss Sarah. It was just as creepy as it sounds.
Greg then had Ball Talk where we talked about the Tiger Woods commercial (eh), a basketball player who lost his shit over popcorn, and cheerleaders peeing in each other’s sodas. Sarah’s Entertainment News consisted of, yes, Jesse James, as well as Persian Jersey Shore, a guy giving an opossum mouth-to-mouth, and a small Taiwanese boy singing Whitney Houston.
We ended with some epic karaoke, and we’re out! Thanks for listening, and also be sure to head down to Big Ass Sandwiches every day, and especially next week, when they will be featuring the “Funemployment Radio” special sandwich for tax week! We don’t want to ruin the surprise, but we can tell you that it is one of the most amazing things we’ve ever tasted. For really reals. Okay, bye!

Good Wednesday to you all! Nibs and I are back in studio for day 3 of our post-vacation wrap-up Today we chatted about almost getting into fights on our respective vacations, allergies, Sarah’s new ringtone (which went off at a very inopportune time), and Lost talk – for die-hard fans, you might not be too stoked about this one.
We then talked about our impending show with Cort and Fatboy next Monday where we’re going to do a Funemployment Radio / Cort and Fatboy Show hybrid where they’ll do their stuff, we’ll do ours, and we’ll mash them together to make a beautiful casserole of awesome. Yes, I just wrote that. Nibs had Ball Talk about soccer (futbal!), smoking weed in a pepper, and a woman being confused for one of Tiger Woods’ mistresses/strippers.
Sarah’s Entertainment News consisted of a newly-single celebrity, ridiculous demands made by said celebrity (and others), dead celebrity news (aka Michael Jackson & Corey Haim), and brand new news about…. Jersey Shore! Oh, and Tiger Woods has yet another mistress.
Thanks for listening, guys! Also, please head to www.funemploymentradio.com to snag your t-shirts before they’re gone! We’re out.

Wow, yesterday was a drunk show. Today – a sober one! Woo!
Yes, just water in the Nibler studios today, minus the tequila that Nibman had to drink in the new shot glass Sarah bought him in Mexico! That she forgot to wash… oops. We chatted a bit about our trips; Greg talked about the amazing (shitty) experience he had dealing with Time Share people in Vegas, Sarah talked about a gay bar she went to and her friend Pablo… who had a special friend of his own. Nibs tortured Sarah with her new ringtone (since she lost the March Madness bet), and we then went into Ball Talk with stories about Tiger Woods, Duke winning March Madness (spoiler! Not really), and a football player having consensual sex… with his biological sister. EW.
We then talked about the mansion Sarah stayed in (while in Beverly Hills, 90210! Word. Thanks, keeks!), and she just found out that a famous murder occurred there… 52 years to the exact night earlier that she stayed in the house. Creepy… but mostly awesome! Also she had Entertainment News featuring, well, what do you know, Jesse James with more Nazi crap, Michael Jackson and his Coca-Cola addiction, and a geriatric Jersey Shore.
Thanks for listening, friends! We’re really excited to be back, and we’re getting ready to plan a listener event sometime in the very near future – stay tuned!

We are kind of regrouping today, but tomorrow, oh yes, tomorrow, we are going to regale you with tales of yesteryear… or from this week.
Nibs had a new Ball Talk where he talked about… balls. And we laughed. It was glorious. We then spoke of March Madness, and yes, unfortunately friends, Sarah did lose the bet, and Nibs had her ringtone. Holy God. It is terrible.
We’re back in full effect tomorrow! We love you long time, thanks for listening!

Today is the last show before our vacation! Sarah is literally getting ready to leave for the airport in a few minutes so we’re busting out this summary for you fine folks. In the first segment of the show Nibler thought it was just damn hilarious to make fun of Sarah and her fear of flying with, what do you know? A little bit of Bloodrock – DOA. Yes, it’s been quite the amazing morning for me (her). Anyway, we chatted about our vacations and what we did the day before in the beautiful sunshine (Nibs: cards and beers, Sarah: Frisbee and beers), and what Sarah’s going to be up to in LA tonight.
For Ball Talk Greg had all new balls, including Beavers baseball news, the Yankees being mooned, the TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS! (march madness bracket 2010), and of course, Big Ben. Oh, and Lifetime movies! Sarah’s entertainment news consisted of skelator whore, yet another mistress for one of the two douchey, mistress-collecting celebrities, and how the size of your penis is impacted by where you live. Really.
We ended the show tormenting each other with more sounds, as well as talking about vacation, and we sang a karaoke song that is relevant to a place where one of us is going.
Okay, so the next six shows will be our vacation shows! We put a lot of work into them so we hope you guys enjoy, and we’ll be back live-ish for you fine folks on April 5th. Be safe, have fun, and thanks, as always, for listening!

It’s the day before Vacation day, and it’s gorgeous outside! Hot dog. Today we started the show talking about our impending time-off, including fear of flying (Sarah) and how she deals with it, Mexico talk, Census filling-out, and being molested (er, screened) by airport security.
Nibs had Ball Talk where he had audio from some of the BEST HECKLING EVER, as well as March Madness news, a new Big Baby, and, of course, Ryan Leaf News. Sarah’s Entertainment News continued on with the mess that Jesse James has made of his life, Jersey Shore is branching out, and the Trolololo guy is back in the news in an interesting way.
We ended the show with an array of ways to torture each other, since we are in the throes of March Madness and have a bet going to see who’s going to be higher-ranked in the end (the winner gets to pick the ringtone for the losers phone). We decided to go through, in real-time mind you, all of the worst/best/get-stuck-in-your head songs to torment each other with, and it’s quite entertaining.
Thanks for listening, we’ll be back with an early show tomorrow!
