DJ can be found elsewhere a...

Every week "The Top Twenty" brings you the first 20 minutes - give or take - of "The Hard Rock Lunchbox".  On this week's episode... There's a reason bacon always come first... and DJ is more than happy to tease with his rationale from the upcoming Bacon Is My Podcast interview but for the full answer you'll need to see the whole thing for yourself on Monday - only on StrangerhoodTV!  But also... DJ has a LOT to say about certain GOP governors that are now crossing the line, in his opini...

Every week "The Top Twenty" brings you the first 20 minutes - give or take - of "The Hard Rock Lunchbox".  On this week's episode... It's the EIGHTH YEAR of the BOX, and no one seems to care less than DJ.  He does, however, manage to thank all the listeners for making any of this possible and talks about the countdowns he thinks he used to do for the BOXiversary shows as well as all of the "good ideas" he had for this year's - but managed to not do.  But by The Bottom Ten of The Top Twenty...

The Top Twenty [07/29/2021] If you're off your game every week, maybe that's just your new game.

July 31, 2021 19:45 - 22 minutes - 10.5 MB

Every week "The Top Twenty" brings you the first 20 minutes - give or take - of "The Hard Rock Lunchbox".  On this week's episode... DJ wonders if you're off your game every week, is that just your new game?  The big man is tired and underslept - again - but still made it to the gym this morning.  He says how much he enjoys practically being asleep for half of his cardio workout, and why habits you can keep in the morning tend to me more successful.  He has a lot to say about the role of "...

The Top Twenty [07/22/2021] If you have to tell someone that you're a "good person", are you?

July 24, 2021 19:18 - 20 minutes - 9.27 MB

Every week "The Top Twenty" brings you the first 20 minutes - give or take - of "The Hard Rock Lunchbox".  On this week's episode... DJ wonders if you have to tell someone that you're a 'good person', are you? And then proceeds to dive deep into some R9, and local scene, history for some context into why he's so tripped up by a recent comment someone has made to him.  He also manages to backstory the whole conversation and cites a recent article out of Alabama about a doctor dealing with e...

The Top Twenty [07/15/2021] DJ is late to the BOX again, although, not supremely.

July 17, 2021 17:19 - 21 minutes - 10.1 MB

Every week "The Top Twenty" brings you the first 20 minutes - give or take - of "The Hard Rock Lunchbox".  On this week's episode... DJ is now physically closer to the BOX but is still late, although, not supremely.  With neither tomatoes nor sour cream in tow, our unsupreme leader pines away for his lost soft taco supreme or yesteryear while managing to over-complain about the hard taco supreme - that any child soldier in Uganda would probably kill for - actually.  Our host breaks down hi...

Every week "The Top Twenty" brings you the first 20 minutes - give or take - of "The Hard Rock Lunchbox".  On this week's episode... DJ wants to know who in NY could actually live on $15K a year, but first...  DJ is quite underslept, again, and it shows throughout the BOX.  He manages to get in some rambling about the new Craving Strange non-promotion promotion and is going to keep an eye on it just to see how it goes even just as a social networking experiment.  He has plenty to say about...
