Three Things With J.R.

This week JR is really up way too late, and should be in bed, but instead he had some things to say, to update you on, like how his dog Scherzer tore himself a second butthole, what's going on with that YouTube channel mentioned last episode, and is JR's other Podcast, Small things Considered worth listening too? (Hint, yes, of course it is, these guys know what they are talking about).

In this episode Jr talks about his poor poor truck an all the work it needs. Should he shell out the bucks and get it fixed, or sell it? Answer the poll question to let JR know what he should do. Also, Little Shop of Horrors is once again sponsoring this episode, you've only got 4 shows left, go see the show!  Lastly, dreams, bad bad dreams.

JR is too tired, sick, busy, and cranky from a lack of Mountain Dew to do a Three Things With JR this week. So, you get this instead.

The Sound of Music opens this week, JR is getting old, Understudy, and Spinach Balls.

It's a special episode of Three Things With J.R. featuring a special episode of Small Things considered. Yeah, it's special two times!

Relax, I may not be a Nazi, but I will play one on stage. Also, this is the last TTWJR episode of 2022, so, there's a lot more than three things in this one. Am I cancelling my Spotify subscription? The USPS website continues to be mediocre, I recently moved, lots to talk about there, and I love driving more than ever! Also, who's more offended this time of year, atheists that get told "Merry Christmas" or Christians that get told "Happy Holidays"?

In episode 111 JR does his first show from his new location now that he's almost fully moved out of his old house. Also, Discover Weekly strikes again, and bravo, USPS.

JR is cooking a turkey after Turkey Day? Yep, also, JR's dad gets some "free" burial benefits from the VA, but there's a catch. JR's got some recommendations for movies and YouTube channels that are making him happy. And lastly, JR was a guest on another podcast about the ugliest Ford Mustangs, the FOXBODY.

What does JR think about holidays? Is Halloween even a holiday? Also, The Crozet Community Chorus is back, and JR wants to lay drums, will he get the chance to do so? And lastly, here's some things JR should be embarrassed to tell you about, but he isn't, for some reason.

The show has a new theme song, Transparent, by ToBe Fare, and it kind of rocks, with a message of love and acceptance. JR remembers when he learned to ride a bike, talks about his favorite author, some new music from artists he discovered this week, and Welcome to Wrexham.  

New music from ToBe Fare, plus JR loved Bros, and a trip around the world's Jaywalking laws. 

JR breaks down the big fish cheater thing, he finally gets Kiki to watch Pulp Fiction, "it was weird", and Florida weather.

JR is back to podcasting. This week's three things will catch you up on JR's hectic life since the last episode and bring you up to speed on the band's new songs, and upcoming live shows, as well some ponderings about the future.

JR answers some listener questions from Facebook, and talk about Kinky Boots.

Kiki and I went to New York City for the first time since the pandemic, and it smells just like we remember, except better. 

The third and final installment of the 100th episode features Gary Hawthorne, lead singer, and guitarist of ToBe Fare. We are just hangin', you can hang with us.

Part two of episode 100 has Jr talking with the lead singer of the second band JR was ever in, Tony Larocco of Pale Blue Dot. JR and Tony talk about In-ear monitors, Fridays After Five, the Pandemic, What Makes This Song Stink, the fact that PBD has had 16 members, so far, and more, all while Tony navigates traffic on his way home from Tennessee. As a bonus, you'll also get to hear an original demo of one of the first Pale Blue Dot songs, Star Counter.

The 100th episode of TTWJR will be in three parts, this is part one, featuring the lead singer of the first band JR was ever in, Bobby Sims. Bobby has recently talked openly on social media about being bi-polar. In this episode we talk about that, and a whole lot more. We even play one of our favorite songs, live from Bobby's house. 

JR made a mistake in last week's show, and invites his buddy Eric to come on this week to correct and educate. And JR talks with his Step-son Chester, who's in the hospital recovering from a motorcycle wreck. Hear all about the crash and the aftermath.

JR is all over the place this week, talking about big heavy subjects, like abortion, as well as some less important stuff, like the new Elvis movie.

JR gives some updates on his life, and then tells you all about what I was like driving a F-150 as an Uber Driver in Charlottesville. JR definitely saved a drunk lady's life that night.

Just a little bit about what's going on with me, my dog, and my life this week. 

Memorial Day has always been a big deal for JR, here's why. Also, new Black Keys, and a YouTube Channel you should probably go check out as soon as you finish this podcast. Unless you are driving, then pull over to a safe place on the side of the road, put your seat back, and check it out. Worth it.

JR had no script for this week's show, just Three Things on his mind, somewhat heavy things, like when his dog, Scherzer, got attacked by a pit bull, and 19 dead in a Texas School Shooting, and the show Severance, and then more about Scherzer.

JR used to work in radio, it wasn't all it was cracked up to be.

Just a quick update on how things are going with the show, and a look to the next show, if I can get the part!

My first job was working for my dad, painting houses, big, nice houses owned by very rich people. I learned a lot about who I am in those years.
