It has been one interesting year to say the least.  Struggling to remain sober through drying out, facing the inner demons, and being sick of oneself while having a nervous breakdown as the cherry on top.  A new journey has begun, and I've been digging deep into this way of life as quest for peace.  What I have found has me in awe daily and I'm so excited to share how I've been brought up out of the pit of the darkest times of my life.

In this personally long awaited episode, I finally have Billy Batts and the Made Men in the house and on the mics.  Our ole pal Rick Burick from Geared Four Productions joins us in on the fun as we all embark on a 27 minute journey into talking about what a super bright future is in-store for all these fellas!  They've all teamed up for something pretty awesome and we're pretty happy to be sharing the announcement!   Song info: 1.Over Again  Off the upcoming full length album "My Empire Is Crumbling" produced by Joe Queer.  2. Long John Silvers Feud In Augusta Off the upcoming split 7" with Close Encounter.

My first podcast all alone.  I figured I would let everyone know whats been going on in my life and why the show has been on hold.  This episode is a 36minute and some change long episode that dives pretty deep into the mess that I call SOBRIETY!  It's funny, super sad, kinda loud, a bit quiet at times, and it has some strong language in it because it just wouldn't be me without at least 2700 fucks and shits to say.  I also cannot go without saying if anyone hears this and realizes they need help on the journey through sobriety or they just need someone to talk to please feel free and hit me up. RHP is glad to be back and we hope you enjoy the show!

I think one of my favorite things in the world right now is going to a bar for some alone time and running into these two guys.  We finally had the chance to get them over for a round one match of one on one discussion of many topics ( that to tell you the truth it's a fun struggle to keep up with.)  Gary and Sloop are some pretty hilarious people but are beyond hell bent on their beliefs.  Gary to Sloop is a far right leaning conservative nut job that never listens and just spreads conspiracy theories, and Sloop to Gary is a liberal snowflake that is crazy on every level and can't cope with anything that comes out of Gary's mouth in regards to current events.  I think they're both crazy as shit and I can see why they are friends, and why we're all friends.  Buckle your seatbelts and wrap your head in duct tape, because this one is nuts.  SIDE NOTE...RIOT HOUSE PODCAST IS NOT PRIMARILY A POLITICAL PODCAST! None of us are professional commentators.  So before you get offended and spitting mad at anyone involved on this episode, just remember we're all in the same boat here with microphones in front of our faces. microphones in our faces having a good time! 

We have been trying get Steven PJ Jones on this podcast FOOOOOOOOOOREEEEEEVER! Steven is the frontman of a straight up metal band from Charleston, S.C. called Guardians Warlock.  Yeah he paints his face.  Yeah he sings using a lot of vibrato.  But Guardians Warlock also was recently nominated and won Best Metal Band of the Year in the Charleston City Paper.  They have some comedy videos out there, releases under the belt, and lots of merch that makes folks do a double-take as you walk by them while wearing their goods.  Steven also started a Metal4Metal youtube channel years ago to interview bands and help people get noticed properly in the Charleston punk and metal scene.  All of us are super glad to have a really good supportive friend like Steven in our lives. The guy really gives his all supporting other bands and building folks up.  So check out this episode and we hope you enjoy.   fart

Billy and Eric return after a long slumbering break and boy is there plenty talk about.  We couldn't think of anyone better to bring on than our podcast neighbor Chad Alexander.  Chad literally hosts his podcast 3 blocks away from our location called 'The Local Bar' which you can find on all major podcast streaming outlets, and he's quite an interesting guy when you actually get to sit down, crack open some beers, and have a chat.  On this episode we talk about everything from the bands billy hates, disgusting sour beers, our stupid president, and the opioid crisis.  Buckle your seatbelt if your easily offended...or leave it off so you can do us all a favor and just crash through the windshield.

On this episode Billy sits down with two old friends to share the news about an upcoming event 10/1-10/3.  They also talk about everything from edm scene, old message boards from back in the day (specifically Red Hot) punk rock, and bluegrass.  Richard is a well known DJ in the Columbia S.C. area that has been throwing events and playing at them for over 20 years. Leia Richardson (aka GRAVY) is a leader in the Derby Girl community, a long time supporter of the edm scene, and the brainchild behind the event discussed through out this episode.  Join us as we actually have topics to discuss and feel like we've accomplished something.  

Yeah... Most of us sat down together with an agenda to discuss important changes in the band.  But we didn't even get to the details because when we all get together we can't stop laughing, making jokes, or just can't shut the fuck up.  If you know us in person...you know us here. Eat shit!

Returning back after a couple months of not doing shit, Billy and Eric sit down with the band Never Ender from Florida.  They were stopping through while playing a show here in S.C. so we all got a chance to catch up, shoot shit, and blast our amps together.  We played a new tune from there new E.P. titled "Longshot" and told some really screwed up stories about shitting, and Billy from Never Ender kept playing some song on his phone about Buttholes during the podcast.  It was at a really annoying frequency but for some reason...enjoyable. So enjoy this episode or suffer through it!   Check out that butthole!

On this episode Billy and Eric sit down with returning guest Larry Parker from River Monster Records, and Punking In Tents founder Patrick Mahon.  We talk about the upcoming festival that will be this July 10-11 2021 at the Florence Motor Speedway in South Carolina.  The line up is consistently growing over the duration of putting the event together and it keeps getting better and better. The backstory of how the festival formed is pretty awesome.  Also...Patrick talks about his experience taking D.M.T.  Lots of laughs were had during the recording of this podcast so we hope you all enjoy it.   

On this episode Billy sits down one on one with one of Columbia South Carolina's best promoters, Dave Britt.  Billy and Dave go into detail together about the great history of punk, metal, and other historic genres of bands that have have been in the city that they love to serve. Dave has been involved with booking bands at killer festivals and venues since the early to mid 90's.  They also spend time giving major shouts to Cory Plaugh, and Todd Brown for their amazing studio work.  Dave Currently is one of the major promoters of Columbia's Rosewood Crawfish Festival, and you can get tickets at a shit ton of locations in the Columbia area for the actual event May 1, 2021 at the South Carolina State Fair Grounds.  But to be honest the only place you really need to get your tickets is at Danos Pizza in Rosewood...Just sayin!

Halebopp Astronauts is one of the leading punk bands in the South Carolina punk scene.  On this episode Billy and Eric sit down with all three of the fellas from the band to discuss everything from touring together in the past, conspiracy theories, their old records and the new one titled "JESOMET" which as just currently released last February 2021.  Some changes have been made to the bands lineup and the music is louder and ruffer in a since. The songs from Halebopp featured on this podcast are from the new record JESOMET. 1. Q 2. 701   Go find them on the interwebs.  You won't be disappointed.

On this episode Billy and Roger sit down with returning guest from season one, Liz Hale.  Liz is the front woman for a local band in Columbia, S.C. called "Brandy and the Butcher."  We also are joined by the one and the only Kipp Shives (who by the way is funny as shit.)  Kipp is an old school punker who you may know as the frontman for a pretty damn good band called Ghettoblaster.  Kipp also is the owner of a restaurant called Granby Grill located right smack in the heart of the neighborhood of Olympia, here in Columbia S.C.   He also has a rich history working for other restaurants in our area and is responsible for some major historical punk events here in our city. During this episode Kipp has plenty of hilarious stories to tell that gives Billy and Roger some major flashbacks of old jobs and punk shows from back in the day.  All this is going on while Liz keeps trying to see "if anyone has a question" while getting smashed on white claws.     

Billy and Eric sit down with Jeremy Plemmons who has a secret outdoor venue he's ready to expose to the world.  Plus returning guest Charlie Mclinden shares a number of wild stories while sipping cheap beer. Eric came out of hiding and appears throughout the podcast, and we also found an interesting fella on tiktok that the world needs to know about.  Check out the info in the podcast Big Jerm provides if your in the area.  It just may do you some good to come out to a small but amazing homegrown festival.

Billy sits down with returning guest from episode 6 Tre Thompson along with some close friends of Tre's,  Garrick Turner and Peter Lehman from the the band Les Mary Chevalias.  This episode is one of the most interesting episodes yet due to a few of the guests going on a shroomy adventure during the podcast.  Talking about everything from outer space, time, politics, and weird boners.  Featured songs on this episode by the band are "Anyhow anyway" and "Hot Moms."  This episode was so much fun to record so have fun keeping up with the subject matter changing every three minutes as Peter Lehman soothes you into another world with his mysterious style of voice overs while being slightly shroomy.

Billy and Roger sit down with their good friend Tre Thompson.  Tre is a well known Dj that is known for his skills under the name Tre Damnit. Tre is a music lover of a wide range of classic tunes, he is a loyal house music vinyl collector, and owns and operates a bar in Sumter, South Carolina.  Tre Has been involved in several music scenes in the Columbia area for over 3 decades.  Tre also brought whiskey to the podcast and Billy brought a can of air.

A return to the throne for Mr. Chad Alexander.  He always has a captains chair at the riot house.  Chad is a phenomenal podcaster and is way more better than us at delivering subject matter.  He ran a great podcast called "The Local Bar" which was up lifting and did wonders for the community, and was stopped in relation to cancel culture.  Chad and his wife also run another podcast together called "Welding a Family" which you can still find out there on all streaming outlets for your favorite podcasts.  Chad has a lot to say about cancel culture, the election, music, and as promised he brought some hate mail with him to spice things up a bit.  We also had Charlie Mclinden sit in with us to help carry along some good conversation, and his microphone started going bonkers...So have fun listening to that.  Charlie is one of the smartest, funniest, talented turds on the planet, and we always enjoy being around the guy.  So all around this podcast was a blast to do.  Oh yeah...Don't forget to VOTE for Dereck Poop!

Billy Riot and Chris Paget shoot from the hip on every issue discussed with returning guests Larry Parker from RIVER MONSTER RECORDS, and Rick Burick from GEARED FOUR PRODUCTIONS.  Everything is talked about from saul hating fart jokes, covid-19, seeing live shows again, movie quotes, and weak impressions.  Please join us all on the road to absolutely nowhere, and we hope you enjoy our first homemade political commercial for our favorite candidate Dereck Poop!

Billy sits down for a meanful chat with Zach Seibert from the well known and up and coming band E.Z. Shakes.  Right off the bat they go all cut throat on shitty mainstream bands, and have a good laugh on many other topics. Eventually...they get to the point of the show which is to have Zach on to talk about the new E.Z. Shakes record 'THE SPIRIT.'  The song featured this podcast by E.Z. Shakes:1. Grove St.

Billy and Eric give a better late than never introduction to season 2 of Riot House Podcast.  A wide range of topics are discussed from a doctor putting things in Eric's butt, cancel culture, lord of the rings impressions, to elderly people impressions calling home remodeling companies.  You will gain nothing from this show and that's done on purpose.  Also there's a premier of a new song by our band Soda City Riot called "Slow Leak."  ENJOY!

To start off season two we have Patrick North and Cory WittmereJohnson from Longshot Odds. LSO will soon be releasing a new record as well as a spilt 7" with the SCR boys in the near future. Other than that they are normal people like you and me. Well, maybe not me.Two new song premiers include:1. Damaged Goods2. The Third Laws the Charm
