EllisFam Interviews

I have asked for the EllisFam to do a small 8 question interview so that we may get to know one another and how The Jason Ellis Show has changed or impacted our lives. These are their reply’s, unedited and all in their own words. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do, and thank you to everyone who participated. Without you all this wouldn’t be possible.

  1. Where do you live? Cal City, ca
  2. What is your occupation? Flight Test Engineer
  3. Tell me a little about yourself. Grew up an air force brat, always wanted to work on planes and now I am. Married for 17 yrs with a 19 yr old daughter 16 yr old son
  4. How long have you listened to TJES? Since the Siriux XM merge
  5. How did you discover TJES? Friend has sirius overheard Faction play NWA and Metallica back to back
  6. What keeps you listening to TJES? Mostly the humor. Tully’s sense of humor kills me. The guests and hearing Ellis’s stories. Mostly it’s the friendships that I have made because of the show keep me listening. Nice disfunctional little family we have developed, and it means a lot to me.
  7. Has the show changed or impacted you life in any way? How? See #6. With my daughters health challenges the last year and a half I have received so much support and love, words can’t describe. I am closer to the “strangers” in the fam than I am with most people on the planet. Hearing the stories and then reading Ellis’ book hit home.
  8. Is there anything else you would like to share? I want to tongue dart each and everyone of you. #nohmo

EllisFam Interviews

I have asked for the EllisFam to do a small 8 question interview so that we may get to know one another and how The Jason Ellis Show has changed or impacted our lives.

  1. Where do you live? I live in Phoenix Arizona
  2. What is your occupation? I work with my Dad, we run a hauling and removal company. We do everything from demolition to landscaping.
  3. Tell me a little about yourself. I am 31, I have been married for 10 years and have 3 daughters and 1 son ranging in ages from 9 to 1. I enjoy the outdoors greatly, and I’ve been hunting since I was in diapers. I ride horses, spit, cuss, drink, and have one hell of a time.
  4. How long have you listened to TJES? I have been listening to The Jason Ellis Show for a little over 2 1/2 almost 3 years now (newbie).
  5. How did you discover TJES? I found it because I was getting tired of listening to Howard Stern all day and I wasn’t very interested in much of what Bubba The Love Sponge was airing. It was completely by accident, and I have never left.
  6. What keeps you listening to TJES? I continue to listen because I find Jason’s rise, crash and current rise to be fascinating and the humor that the show possesses is right up my alley. The one thing that got me completely addicted was that this is the first show I have ever known to have such a heavy listener interaction, WE ARE apart of the show.
  7. Has the show changed or impacted you life in any way? How? The show has impacted my life in 2 ways, I strive to be better everyday, and the EllisFam, a mismatched group of misfits that I would have never gotten to know if I never found this show, and that I am most grateful for than anything.
  8. Is there anything else you would like to share? I hope to meet everyone someday and if anybody is in Phoenix, hit me up, I’m always down for a beer or two.

  1. Where do you live? St. Louis, MO
  2. What is your occupation? Dir. of IT (to keep it easy)
  3. Tell me a little about yourself. I like to make people laugh
  4. How long have you listened to TJES? Shit. Not real sure. Since before Tully originally left.
  5. How did you discover TJES? Bored. Flipping through the channels one day.
  6. What keeps you listening to TJES? It’s a newer, better, Howard Stern. Actually, it’s nothing like that. But about as close as I could put it in laymen’s terms.
  7. Has the show changed or impacted you life in any way? How? Sure. I haven’t lost any weight, changed my lifestyle, or anything of that nature. But it got me started on Twitter and interested in some things I had previously almost all but stopped doing.
    Also #EllisFam, I’m glad to have met the fucked up people that I have. If they only knew how much more fucked up I am.
  8. 8. Is there anything else you would like to share? Yea. You’re mom is the pure definition of a ditch pig.

Role Call, Introduce Yourself: Part 1

So, I asked people who follow me on Twitter to introduce themselves with this tweet: Taking roll call. Raise your hand & I’ll call on you. Introduce and say a little something about yourself.

And here are the responses:

@itswillbitches Hi! My name is Will and I think trains are cool and I always stop what I’m doing to watch them go by.

@AZ_RedDragon My name is Jason and I’m always late to places so everyone will look at me when I come in. Hi.

@Cassieleeisme My name is Cassandra and I wear high heels to concerts to tower over short people (6’2 in heels).

@KimDultz Oops, I’m slow, but not slow enough to ride the short bus, just slow enough to be an artist. My name is Kim, or Kimmy D, mthrfcker

@TwistedMetalFab Hello, my name is John. And I would like to take Cassandra to a concert. (I’m 6’5″)

@RedJammieGirl Hi everyone!!! I’m Michelle and @KimDultz is my partner in crime. We love to eat cookies!

And there you go, six people. For those of you that turned up, I thank and salute you. I guess Thursday evening isn’t the best time to do a #RollCall and that has been duly noted. So, if you were disappointed in the turnout, I’m going to post a few videos you comedy / cooking / sex craving deviants might enjoy. Continue reading
