Welcome to WRYAT Gueaxrilla Radio! Think Welcome to Night Vale and NPR had a baby. Dat's what we doin. A Improv & sketch comedy show built around making fun of the world that is Public Radio. Like, subsrcibe, and review!
We are back. Like that movie about the dinosaurs that use trucks as skateboards. But instead of doing cool tech deck Ford F-150 tricks, we use soundwaves. Listen we looked at Freedom of Speech this week and metaphors and similies are on the table again. No more being direct with our language. We can draw comparisons. We can allude. We can hint at. All this power at our disposal with just a simple "like". Anywho, before the power consumes me, check out this week's episode.
Oh, it's my favorite time of year. The time when I can wear my fanciest suit. Get a nice flattering haircut. And roll out the red carpet. This is the only way to properly appreciate Arby's. MMMM Arby's. The horse sauce alone deserves to be honored with a plaque and a heartfelt thank you speech. Oh, oh, the curly fries should have a special category just for the best shape. I would die from anticipation just waiting to hear if the not-fully-cut-but-very structurally-sound-slightly wound-up piece won. Anywho, WRYAT is going to the public radio awards show. So cross your fingers and dried out french fry daggers for a sweeping victory this year.
Politics today. Am I right? One dude yelling into another dude's mouth. Like a momma bird giving a baby worm chew. It's really beautiful. Nature is crazy, though. Like, this girl I knew in grade school once found one of those baby birds under a tree, and she took it home to raise it. Every night she feed it wet dog food and gave it water. Like, after a month, the thing grew up and was fluttering around the house. She stopped coming to school cause she wanted to make sure her "baby" was safe. Her parents tried to get her to go outside but she just locked herself away. I haven't been by her house in years but some say she's still there taking care of her baby birds and also starring in a bunch of movies and starting a website named after that baby bird. I think it was called Goop. Anywho, WRYAT finally has the talk about nature.
There are times in life when you have had a rough day and all you want to do is grab a pizza and lay on the couch to watch a movie. The comfort of finally relaxing after being overworked by Tammy at the office. Getting her coffee and listening to her talk about how cute her kids are. How overbearing it is that she comes to check on you around lunch to see if you want to join several others at the office for some chicken at B-Dubs. The way she thanks you for your work and says nice things to "encourage" you. No thank you. Give me Robocop. Anywho, WRYAT explores the art of film in this week's episode.
They say your memory is like a sponge. They say sponges soak up stuff but not everything. They say the movie The Stuff is a masterpiece of cinema and eventually the critics will wake up to its level of humor and horror that merges so seemlessly into a velvety concoction. Anywho, we totally look at brain stuff this week on this week's episode of WRYAT.
Seems like only yesterday we were just a fledgling fifth-ranked New Orleans public radio station trying to make it on our own in the cutthroat world of local broadcast journalism. Now we're a bigtime fifth-ranked New Orleans public radio station that's an esteemed member of the nationally syndicated Public Radio Now network. Gosh, time just flies by, and it reminds me to stop every so often and look at my hands. I mean reallllllllllly look at them. Those two, ten-digited octopi of creepy, wriggling appendages. Last year may have been rough, but at least I'm not one giant hand, I can tell you that much. Lord, would I be terrifying and horribly off-centered. Anywho, we're back, and thanks to our new non-profit overlords, we're getting more better.
Part 2 of the Public Radio Now takeover. The WRYAT station is now affiliated with Public Radio Now, so the national syndicate is holding a pledge drive to raise funds for a studio appropriate for humans. This special is in no way endorsed by public radio competitors NPR, WWNO, or the New World Order.

Low and behold, WRYAT tackles comedy in the only way we know how, by loudly saying something is funny and not laughing, by explaining the joke for longer than the actual joke, and lastly by asking you to come to our improv recital. Seriously, I got one coming up and I know I am at level 3 Alpha 7, but if I can get three friends to come and one to sign up I will have enough Carlin-Stars to advance a degree. Anywho, join us as we explore all that is funny and all that is public radio.
How does one become alternative? Did they have to live during that weird time in the 90s when rock was super into flannel and dudes just really wanted to mosh? Or does one need to be really deep in their song lyrics? Wait, oh goodness, I didn't read the lifestyles part. haha. What a goof! Here I am with egg on my face thinking alternative rock when this week's topic was really about people with cool kinks doing stuff at weird parties that the alt-rock kids would write sad songs about not being invited to. Whoopsie-daisy. Anywho, go do weird stuff with weirder music.

As the night falls over the Big Easy, I like to go to the leevee and look at the West Bank. It really gets you to think. Why is the city so pretty with its lights but the West Bank turned thiers off so we think they aren't home? Why do I have this huge repulsion whenever someone suggests we drive over the bridge? What is even in Marrero? I've heard of it, but does it really exist? The night really gets you thinking when you have to go to the bathroom and you just let it rip by those bushes near the Aquarium. Anywho, time to rezip my fly, pretend like I didn't just leave a puddle, and wave farewell to the West Bank with this week's epsiode of WRYAT and its look at late night.
Sometimes I sit at my desk with the lights low and I like to think of myself as a detecitve in those old movies. You know, the ones where the PI has had a hard life but still has a heart of gold. Then a woman walks in needing his help. He's dismissive at first but goes for it. Yea, I want that. I've tried online dating and it's terrible, so instead, I am opening a detective agency hoping to meet a woman like that. It's been 18 months and I've gotten a lot of cases for missing scooters and cheating spouses, but one day, she will walk in. Blue dress and hair in a bun. She wasn't your typical woman but something about her and the way she.... Anywho, sorry got zoned out there for a sec. Check out this week's episode, gumshoes.
Remember when you were a kid and time was kept by when the school year ended and summer began? Camp, pools, and endless hours just staring at the clouds. I wish I could go back to that. I would literally do anything to relive those golden years. I would go over to an old man's house and dress up as his deceased wife and pretend that I am said wife to learn the formula he came up with in the 60s for travel to other universes using string theory. I would lie in bed with this man every night singing him to sleep so that he can whisper the secrets of time in his sleep as I write them down. And on that day I crack time travel, I will pull off that wig and thank that man. Anywho, summer is here and so is WRYAT. See you outside and I will be seeing you tonight, Prof. Ferdinand Henderson.
That ole goverment. It is with you when you are born and long after you are dead. It watches you when you sleep and is always there. When I was a kid I would write the goverment notes about how it would be great if we could be together. After 25 long years, it wrote back. But the goverment said it was seeing someone else and that while it like my weekly letters and commerative calendar of me holding goverment documents, it sadly did not thing we had a spark for longevity. I get it. It has been around for 100+ years and with my eating habits I have like 8 to 9 years tops. So WRYAT celebrates the local goverment and all it does for us.
Trees. They stand there and they see everything. They see kids playing in the street. They see cars go by. They even see where that one guy who runs in those short shorts goes. The guy isn't always running but everytime I've tried to follow him home, he eludes me. Like, why is he wearing sunglasses at night? What is his deal? I just want to know where a man like that lives. Why won't the trees tell me? Why won't the trees tell me his secrets?! Anywho, WRYAT takes a look at Arbor Day on this week's episode.
Ah, the spring is here. For 27 whole minutes, you can walk outside in your slick black jeans, wear a light top and feel the brisk air on your toes before the sun god Ra and that dumpster behind the burger place's bastard demi-god child rears their sweaty, muggy self and issues forth the reckoning of summer like no mortal should have to witness. Anywho, it's Easter or whatnot, and that means it's cool to eat whole eggs on the bus, it's the first and only time you probably will go to Mass, and it's time for us remember that we have Friday off. Wait, we do? Well thanks, Janet, for telling me now. Go listen to the podcast, I have to make some plans.
Oh boy, life sure can be hard. Just last week I was walking the dog and it started barking at a tree. What an idiot. Its a tree. It can't hear you or feel ashamed that you are calling it out for not being the man your mother was hoping for or the caring individual your dad could relate to. It's just a tree. It's not like the tree can look at its life and feel slightly bad for not applying its treeself more. Anywho, I have a lot to think about and a bag of dog mess to throw away. Enjoy this week's episode of WRYAT as we say that it gets better so stick with it.
Have you ever looked in the mirror and seen someone else? Someone different? Someone not you? You stare and stare at that person - that being - who has the audacity to ask you for money in exchange for what you just ordered at Taco Bell. Anywho, WRYAT is back with a new season where we explore alternate worlds.
Boy oh boy, its been awhile. People have had kids, I know a dude who got married, and I took up my new pandemie project. Oh I call my pandemic projects pandemie projects now. Anywho, I took up collecting craft projects and I just clip out projects and print them out. I haven't built anything yet but you know, got to stay busy. So here's the deal, we have the best of season 5 here and it slaps, so go ahead and take an ear gander.
Fire. Brimstone. Putrid Smells. No, it's not Mardi Gras yet, it's the end times folks. Someone unleashed the old ones and the Big Easy is more like the Big Fire...Easy. So grab your tinfoil blankets and can of beans and get ready to face the inferno with WRYAT.
The age of wires and circuits are upon us. Bask in the light of hard drives and servos. WRYAT is looking to the future. A future where you mom doesn't think it is weird to hang out with an old guy who lives in a garage behind Arby's on the Westbank. A future where you can wake up at 2 a.m. to hang out with said old man and do experiments with a dog in a car. A future where Libya freely hands over plutonium to that same old dude who sleeps on a cot above said case of plutonium. One can dream and so can you as WRYAT explores Neo Orleans, the ability to talk to babies in the womb, and the future of crypto.
To find someone that gets you is like finding a tater-tot at the bottom of your Arby's bag. You know there are supposed to be no tots there but it just showed up anyway. You are going to eat it cause you are a hungry little monster but you can't seem to shake the desire to know how that tater got into your bag. Relationships are a mystery and WRYAT is here to help. Tune in to this week's episode where we review romantic movies and fix a marriage.
New Orleans is a town to visit. A town to get an Air BnB and walk around pretending to be a local. A town to take your shoes off and walk barefooted through the French Quarter and run your toes in the puddles of Bourbon St. WRYAT is here to help make your trip to this fine city one that will leave a lasting infection - I mean - impression. Check out this weeks episode when we save the symphony, book a tour, and have a bag of chips.
Gosh, memories are swell. At WRYAT we love just staring listlessly out the only window of the shed at the Popeyes across the street. Sometimes we just think about all those times when the yesteryear was so much better than this year. We remember parties with friends and physical embraces. Hell, we haven't been hugged since 1997. So as you think about the last time someone touched you, check out this week's episode of WRYAT.
Well it is kinda that time of year again where festivals reign supreme over your weekend plans. Where you can celebrate the mundane things you take for granted and build an entire festival around it, with food, music, and drunk friends telling you how many festivals they go to and how they love live music and how they don't actually go to bars to see live music because the festivals have the live music and who in their right mind would go to a rando bar uptown to discover a surf rock band or a string trio that could be their new favorite when there is so many cover bands at their fingertips as they sit on lawn chairs .... Sorry, got carried away. Anywho, WRYAT is back this week with all things festivals.
What is dead can never live. At WRYAT we take death very seriously and enjoy watching a soul leave someone's mouth as they pass on to the afterlife. Having been there ourselves, we know that it is like going to Olive Garden, delicious and filled with people who should not be eating there. Join us as we face death at the racetrack, review movies, and roast the dead on New Orleans' only radio station that dares stare death in the face for longer than any person should.
It's that time of year again to close your shutters, bring in your lawn chairs and lawn children, and hide in your windowless closet from the scary men of the Weather Channel. It is hurricane season again and we at WRYAT are prepping with our storm chickens and looking back at past hurricanes, preparing our boats, and surfing the spillway. Join us as we talk all things Hurricanes.

We know drugs as the thing we take to make headaches go away. We also know them as the thing that makes headaches really scary, like that time we thought we took some aspirin but instead it felt like there was noodles under our skin and Jimmy had to sit with us for a few hours till we were able to go back into his son's christening. Anywho, WRYAT is here to talk about those that fought drugs in the past, taking good vaccine drugs, and the joys of chemistry. Tune in for another exciting episode.
School is back in session and so is your 5th ranked public radio station. WRYAT is here to teach you about horses and cooking as well as our love of movies. Join us as we reeducate ourselves to the WRYAT school of education.
In this weeks episode, we turn our eyeballs from the world around us and focus them inside ourselves. Our reports look at themes of self-care like stealing babies, talking birds, and being a real man and taking a shot of whiskey. So stop thinking about other people and feed your body the only substance it needs. Tune in your radio dial for New Orleans' 5th Ranked Public Radio Station.
Join WYRAT as we return for our fifth season. This week we discuss the rebirth of our culture and steering clear of hipster vampires. Tune in your radio dial for New Orleans' 5th Ranked Public Radio Station.
