March 26, 2015 13:51 - 1 hour - 50.4 MB

Rick and Joe take a break from the normal chaos of BTP to talk about their roles in the local Chicago music scene, with a special tribute to Rick's brother, Chuck Martinez. We discuss the TWO bands that Rick is in, Rough BoyZZ (The best of ZZ-Top and Classic Rock) [www.RoughBoyZZ.com] and the original modern blues crooning of BLUE LINE [www.BlueLineBand.com] plus all the various projects from his past. Joe's experience isn't as varied, but he's done his share of gigging as well. Expect more ...

003: Dear Amy, Sorry For Being A Bitch...

March 12, 2015 03:44 - 1 hour - 47.8 MB

We open (junk) mail, and also open a can of worms when we find a poor stranger's yearbook at the thrift store, delving further into a world of weird, non sequitur conversations. Granted, we do tackle some serious topics, like how to respect the national anthem, and how rats got a bad rap in the dark ages... but above all, it's mostly nonsense highschool talk...
