Week 5 of Noise Hole Quarantine! What is the world? Who are we? Why is everything?

It’s week 2 of Noise Boi QUARANTINE, and the guitarless Bois are in mostly good spirits. This is due in no small part to a visit from their good friend, Lemmy Killmeister of Motörhead! Joel talks mostly about the world going to Hell, and Dave talks mostly about Doom Eternal. Gary is the only one […]
The Bois are on QUARANTINE LOCKDOWN! They don’t have any guitars, but they still have the power of speech, and are still able to use that power to abuse and berate Gary (who still has his drums, and a limited oxygen supply remaining). Lather up with hand sanitizer, Noise Bois, this is gonna be a […]
Grab your early voting ballots, Noise Bois, because this episode gets a little political. You might as well grab your tissues too, as the Bois talk extensively about having dead dads… but in a funny way? Don’t worry. It’s a good time. Harmonized introductions Dave’s new whammy super power Divebombs improve “Let It Be” by […]

Dave and Joel try to act natural as people point cameras at them while they record The Noise Hole. That’s right, there’s going to be a short Noise Hole documentary sometime in the future. Will you finally see the dark underbelly of the Bois? Will infighting and egos break up the band? Will Gary be […]
There hasn’t been THIS much Aerosmith in an episode of The Noise Hole since that time we recorded in the bathroom of a Denny’s! Stick an apple in your mouth, baiste your own rump with delicious juices, and plop down on a silver platter like a suckling boy, because this episode is one hell of […]
It’s the first Noise Hole of a new year, and a new decade! Everything is NEW NEW NEW, so the Bois are talking about aging and/or dead rockers from the 70s, 80s, 90s and beyond! OLD OLD OLD! DEAD DEAD DEAD! Crawl into an Elton John Donald Duck costume! Gaze upon David Bowie’s power zoot […]

DECK. THOSE. HALLS, Noise Bois! It’s That special time of year where we all think about what we want, and talk about what we want, and leave unsubtle hints about what we want in hopes that someone close to us (or otherwise obligated to us) will purchase them, and hand them to us, relinquishing all […]
It’s Dave’s birthday, Noise Bois! Let’s celebrate by busking out in the cold, dreary street, and hope some scarlet-haired beauty with the voice of an angel will come and delivery us from musical obscurity, and certain starvation. Also, Gary has a mic in this episode! A mistake that I assure you will NEVER happen again. […]
Noise Bois, this episode is all about finding your voice… finding your Noise Vois, as it were. The Bois challenge a few bands to defend their honor in the ring, and get pretty deep into Scott Stapp from Creed’s love of fish. It’s BIG pizza fuck energy, all the way down! “Two Boys At The […]
Gravy greetings, Noise Bois! Or should I say, Tone Turkeys? No, I shouldn’t. I’m sorry. That was Gary’s idea. As you stuff yourself with seasonal meats and treats, please use this episode as an escape from your terrible family. There’s no reason to suffer this holiday season, when you can pop in your headphones and […]
This week, things are getting spacey-wacey and prob’ly wobbly, as the Bois check in with everyone’s favorite low budget, British alien of mystery: Professor Time Problem. There’s also a ton of Blink-182 and pee-pee poo-poo songs. “I’ve Got Some Bad News” By Dr. Bluesman, M.D. “Our Medical Technology Is Severely Limited” by Bob Dylan “Crawling […]
Dearest Noise Bois, I would hope that as you commute to your place of business, enjoy a low impact workout on an elliptical machine, or simply drown out the incessant prattling of your cow-eyed coworkers (the only 3 acceptable ways to enjoy a podcast) that you appreciate this over indulgent dose of dueling Bowie impressions, […]
This week Dave and Joel take a Dave and stroll down memory lane, as the bois recall their first computers. What is this? The TECHNOLOGY HOLE?! Not after Lemmy fucking Killmeister shows up to… talk about computers. Hmm… maybe it IS The Tech Hole, but you know, still with like a ton of fun songs. […]
Put a trash bag over your head, and sinch it with a rubber band, because THIS is the Halloween (adjacent) episode of The Noise Hole, and YOUR costume is “Trash Ghost.” This SPOOOOKIEST of episodes only features MAX SPOOKS for the first ten-ish minutes, then the ENTIRE REST of it is about 1960’s doowop music… […]
Noise Bois, you’re going to have to forgive us as we indulge in this Nickelback-heavy Noise Hole. It’s a thing, it happened, let’s get past it. It’s like Soylent for your ears. It keeps you alive, but no one’s actually enjoying themselves. Also a seemingly NEVER ENDING train of rock stars, living and dead, visit […]
Sink them teeth into a moldy-ass peach, cuz them Noise Bois, Dave and Joel, are kicking out some low key, low energy, low effort jams Juno soundtrack style. They also dig in their spurs, and get in touch with their country side again. And Gary? HOOOBOY, does Gary get in trouble. He’s been a naughty […]
What really broke up the Beatles? Was it Yoko? Band infighting? Or was it a plot so insidious that the very nipples on John Lennon’s chest weren’t safe from Paul’s ire? Also, LOTS of METALLICHAT-UH™. Dig in, Noise Bois! “Airplane Friends” by Row 26, Seats A and B Joel watched terrible, worthless movies on an […]
I hope you’re ready for songs about sandwiches, and the nastiest, snottiest punk rock this side of London circa 1982, Noise Bois, because that’s precisely what you’re gonna get in this FIRST EVER Noise Hole episode recorded in THE ACTUAL NOISE HOLE!!! “I’m A Hungry Boy” by John Mayer John Mayer and Seal at Live […]
It seems the Noise Bois were worried about Glenn Danzig’s employment situation, so Dave and Joel checked in and got WAY MORE than they bargained for. It’s a Danzig-centric episode, with bits of Ozzy and The Ramones tossed in for flavor. The word of the week is “rankled.” When someone says “rankled,” remember to SCREAM […]
Dave and Joel have some hard news to deliver to some of their favorite bands: HANG UP THE AXE, IT’S TIME TO RETIRE! Or is it? Listen to the very end to find out the final verdicts for Weezer, Green Day and more, AND get a healthy dose of beautiful Irish folk music! “College Is […]
This is The Noise Hole’s final episode in its youthful 20s. Next week it will enter it’s dirty 30s, and then it’ll REALLY start to sleep around and get fucked up.

Joel just saw the Elton John biopic Rocketman, and Dave wants to know how it stacks up to other rock biopics like Bohemian Rhapsody, and Kickstart My Heart. Spoilers: It’s a lot better than those two. This week the bois are joined by special guest, Reginald Dwight, AKA Sir Elton John! They even carted a […]
This week’s Noise Hole is comprised of two essential parts: The part that’s all about the shift from the hair metal excess of the late 80s to the dreary melancholy of the early 90s, and the part that’s all about late 90s, early 2000s wrestling. The good news is you get both parts for free, […]
Dave and Joel are taking it back, WAY BACK to the very beginning of Dave’s songwriting career to explore the evolution of his very first song, “I Like Beans.” “Time To Get Creative (I Hate You, Kevin)” with Kevin Tonberry and Dave Problematic band members How do you sing and play at the same time? […]
Dave and Joel are a bit aimless this week. They’re like ships without rudders; explorers with no map; chefs with no recipe, but that doesn’t seem to stop them from from sailing the seas of rock, climbing the musical mountains and cooking up a delectable dish of dumb songs! “I Got Them Prison Blues” by […]
This week Dave and Joel take off their rock and roll pants, and slip on their country chaps… and nothing else. It’s an entire episode dedicated to approximating a vague idea of what two rock boys think country music probably sounds like! Yee-Haw! “Shopping Basket Full Of Caskets” by Leonard Cohen “Mean Gene (60% Beans)” […]
This episode deals primarily with two young bois, wee Dave and Lil’ Joel, and their personal betrayals by two once-revered and beloved bands: Tool and Metallica. “I Am A Little Water Boy” by Fish Friends Delta Blues Email Readin’s How much money do you think Tool has? Comparing and contrasting Jimmy Eat World and Tool […]
Dear Noise Bois, this episode is a bit more talky than usual, and at times gets a little serious. But, you know what? It’s got heart. It’s also got THREE DIFFERENT Lemmy’s Retro Rundowns! So cram that in your gob and gnaw on it. “Welcome To The Cannibal Cafe” by Tom Waits and Randy Newman […]
Everybody’s favorite morally conscious, rotund bass player is back, and he is very sorry but he has to leave. He just cannot abide the topics of discussion presented in this particular podcast.

Hey hey, Noise Bois! Here’s a special treat for you. This is the original episode of the Here’s An Idea podcast that spawned The Noise Hole, remastered with additional instruments and… well… Gary.

We hate to start an episode with an apology, but we spend about half this episode discussing musicians and celebrities that also happen to pedos. Can we separate the art from the artist, or the sandwich from the sandwich artist? Let’s find out together. This week: Radiohead killed the riff Johnny Greenwood in Game Of […]
Join us, Noise Bois, as Dave celebrates his first Father’s Day, while Joel makes it an even dozen, and we delve deeply into rock dads and all their rad daddom. This week: “A Man On The 30th Floor” by Death Cab For Cutie “Why Didn’t Daddy Hold My Feet” by Eric Clapton “Tears In Heaven […]

We’re not gonna lie. Half of this episode is about Glenn Danzig working odd jobs and the other half is almost entirely dick jokes set to music. It’s not an apology, but it might be a warning. Anyway, if you ever wanted to hear Eminem and his urologist trade verses, this is the episode for […]
Prepare yourselves, Noise Bois, for an extra long 90 minute episode that contains zero unwarranted, inflammatory and ill-informed opinions about entire complex genre’s of music! It’s time for episode 15, “Jazz Sucks!” This week: “Korobeiniki” aka “The Tetris Theme” aka “Death To the West” Jazz is impressive but unnecessary The Noise Bois try and fail […]
Episode 14 is a make or break moment in the life of a Noise Boi. You either abandon ship now, or you’re with us forever. Make your choice. Here’s the playlist: “Suicide By Cop” by A Band That Sounds Like Dashboard Confessional “Take His Hair To The Dog Pound” by Queen “Poodley Gargle” by Queen […]

Noise Bois, I hope you’re ready for some SELF INDULGENCE because this episode HAS IT.
