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.

Rob (@RobDaub)

  1. Where do you live? I’m a Beadie Eye’d Canadian. High River, Alberta, Canada (east of the Rockies, West of the rest)
  2. What is your occupation? Sell Pumps and Compressors into the OilPatch (sorry @Joeskin69, we don’t sell penis pumps)
  3. Tell me a little about yourself. I’m 31, married with 3 kids and another on the way (I know 4 is fuckin crazy, were done there). I ride moto, but not on a track, mostly tight trail bush riding. I’ve trained MMA for 3 years. I have been hunting since I was 4yrs old, and for the last 10 years I’ve hunted with a recurve bow (bent stick and a string) so I have to be within 20 yards. Otherwise, like most Canadians, I’ve always played hockey, and always drank my weight in booze.
  4. How long have you listened to TJES? I briefly remember hearing him in-between songs at night, but the first show that truly stands out as my “I’m hooked” moment was the phone in the ass show. I remember that you could actually hear the insertion. Let’s just say it definitely wasn’t theatre of the minds.
  5. How did you discover TJES? Heard him ranting instead of playing songs.
  6. What keeps you listening to TJES? I feel like I know everybody personally, It’s like sitting around with friends that make me laugh everyday. Truly addicting, I find myself planning my day around the show.
  7. Has the show changed or impacted you life in any way? How? It got me into MMA and into better shape.
  8. Is there anything else you would like to share? I’m heading moose hunting in Nov, and my main goal while I’m there is to be naked in my top hat when I take the fucker down!

The Gauntlet (@WVGauntlet)

  1. Where do you live? Charleston, West By God Virginia
  2. What is your occupation? Cashier at a gas station in the mu’fuckin ghetto.
  3. Tell me a little about yourself. I play guitar in a band, The Gauntlet, we will be promptly taking over the world as soon as we find some rock n rollas who can hang with us. Oh, I’m also Irish, so apply all stereotypes.
  4. How long have you listened to TJES? Shit I don’t know… 4-5 years? Shout out to pot-marijuana!
  5. How did you discover TJES? I remembered him from his days as a skateboarder… Pretty sure I heard Demolition Radio once or twice with him on it, then on & off until Bubba went terrestrial & Ellis fucked his radio face.
  6. What keeps you listening to TJES? That’s probably a better question for my psychologist.
  7. Has the show changed or impacted you life in any way? How? I’m definitely more open-minded in every aspect of my life. I’m just able to deal with shit more even-keeled, I remember all the inspiring monologues from the barren Tully-less Ellis-Rawdog days & his speeches about fighting through whatever bullshit gets thrown at you.
  8. Is there anything else you would like to share? Yes. These goddamned herpes, with ALL of YOU.)

Juan (@Lugoman43)

  1. Where do you live? San Antonio, TX
  2. What is your occupation? I work at the corporate offices of a grocery chain down here called HEB.  We’re kind of a big deal.
  3. Tell me a little about yourself. I’m just a normal guy, working for the weekend.  I enjoy college and pro football, basketball, running and the outdoors (so, much so that I’ve been known to throw a round of Frisbee golf or two every now and then).  I take pride in having a year-round tan.  But, that might be because I’m Mexican (shout out to @JustJ210).
  4. How long have you listened to TJES? I started listening to Ellis when he was talking between songs on Octane.  I guess around 2005?
  5. How did you discover TJES? I used to have a job where I drove around checking prices at Wal-Mart, all over South Texas.  So, being in the car all day, I bought a Sirius Starmate4.  I was thumbing through the stations and I heard this guy, with a funny accent, introducing an AFI song.  You could tell he was trying his hardest NOT to tell you to change the station, so instead of suggesting that, he would tell a story about a frog.  The story had nothing to do with the song playing in the background, but it was extremely entertaining.  I guess I’m easily amused.  Well, yeah, I totally am (shout out to @BitPimps).  He mentioned Faction and that he knew Tony Hawk.  I listened to The Tony Hawk Show that afternoon and soon after that, Ellis had his own time slot.  The rest is history. And to those new to the show, the ONLY thing that has changed about TJES is the amount of “buttons” and Jingleberries songs.
  6. What keeps you listening to TJES? If it’s not the continued abuse of Raw Dog, it’s gotta be the continued abuse of Raw Dog.  Which I’ve NEVER figured out how many stars the Radio Gods had to align to create this radio gold. Honestly, I guess it’s because I’ve listened for so long, I feel like these guys are friends (DING!).  The sheer honesty Ellis gives and the dumb shit he says, ESPECIALLY his monologs (shout out to @FattRedDragon!), keep me interested.  It still gives me chills when someone calls in to tell Ellis how he’s changed their lives.
  7. Has the show changed or impacted you life in any way? How? Of course!!  If it’s not from me saying, to people that don’t listen, “Oh, today, Ellis said….,” all the way to my girlfriend now saying “Truck Yeah!”,  The Ellis Show has been a major part of my life.  Harden the fuck up is not a saying; it’s a way of life.  I wasn’t an athletic person when I was younger.  But, now that I’m 32, I feel like I’m in the best shape of my life.  If I’m not running 5K’s, or playing a pick-up game of basketball, I’m doing push-ups or sit-ups just to get my blood moving.  Ellis made me realize that age is nothing but a number.
  8. Is there anything else you would like to share? Red Dragons.

  7. Has the show changed or impacted you life in any way? How? The show has impacted me in that I have been able to meet some really good people… (Even if not all face to face). It has also helped me to get into MMA more and be a kickboxer. To not be complacent and chase that dream whatever it is.
  8. Is there anything else you would like to share? A Life story- how I came about- well… My dad ended up landing a cougar (my mom). On conception my dad was 18 while my mom was 36, needless to say- the relationship did not last between the two. I spent most of my childhood with my mom. I believe (and this is for the Canadians) it was the 1972 Summit series. Canada vs Russia. Hockey.

  2. What is your occupation? Military aviation parts and part time pirate. And if some Homeland security official typed those terms into Google and found this page, no I am not a terrorist.
  3. Tell me a little about yourself. I don’t answer questions like that unless a job, a date, or a free beer is on the line.
  4. How long have you listened to TJES? Late 2007-ish   
  5. How did you discover TJES? I work an incredibly boring job with incredibly boring and annoying people for a ridiculous amount of time each week. Fortunately we are allowed to wear headphones. Early on I quickly became very interested in radio. Around this time Stern was leaving for Sirius and the local rock station (WYSP) was trying out an all-talk format called ‘Free FM’. They brought in a young guy called ‘Kidd Chris’ to do afternoons and he just blew me away. He was hilarious, he had great cast of characters, and they did some of the best phony phone calls & parody songs that, till this day, I’ve ever heard. The guys at work were all Stern fans. They got a Sirius receiver on 1/9/06 and after listening in for a few months I got one myself. With Howard in the morning and KC in the afternoon, all was good in my radio world till late 2007 when WYSP imploded the ‘Free FM’ format. They moved Kidd Chris to mornings (where he sucked and eventually got fired) and so I needed something to fill that ‘Kidd Chris fix’ in the afternoons. I eventually stumbled upon this Australian guy on Faction. It took me a couple weeks of on & off listening to get into the show, but I finally did and I have never looked back.
  6. What keeps you listening to TJES? I haven’t found anything to replace it.
  7. Has the show changed or impacted you life in any way? How? I’m not sure what it is, but this radio show is a bug light for awesome people. I have had the opportunity to become friendly with dozens of Ellisfam through Twitter, Facebook, Ellismanias, and east coast meet-ups over the years. They are all uniquely caring, funny, intelligent, talented, and motivational. 
  8. Is there anything else you would like to share? A snake that doesn’t bite teaches you nothing.

Sex Panther (@WKsexpanther)

  1. Where do you live? La Grande, Oregon. Small town of 13k, A gorgeous valley completely surrounded by wooded mountains.
  2. What is your occupation? I work for a large insurance company in the medical claims department. Mainly I sit at a computer and listen to the show.
  3. Tell me a little about yourself. I recently got out of a long term relationship. My fiance robbed a bank three weeks before our wedding so I’m still dealing with that. He was the most wonderful man I had ever met and I was madly in love. Go figure. It was just like life to fuck me over on that one.
  4. How long have you listened to TJES? About three years. I just recently signed up for twitter because I was feeling out of the loop. It is awesome to connect with people who like the guys and the show as much as me.
  5. How did you discover TJES? I would just catch bits and pieces because I listened to music on Faction. I liked it so much, I started listening just for the show and have been hooked ever since.
  6. What keeps you listening to TJES? It is just so funny. And so real. Working with a bunch of old ladies in a silent office, they would die if they could hear what I’m listening to. Sometimes I am trying to hold back roaring laughter so hard, I shake and my face turns bright red. You can’t just listen to Rawdog say ‘boogfoot’ twice and not laugh your fucking face off.
  7. Has the show changed or impacted you life in any way? How? I feel like I connect to each of the guys. I had the same reaction to food as Rawdog growing up, I would only eat hotdogs and chicken strips. Fruits and veggies made me gag. I eat really diversely now and wonder how I ever lived off that? I was a straight A student after retuning to college at 22. ( I flunked out at 18). It wasn’t Oxford, but I’m a smart cookie (Fuck Tully). Jason reminds me of my older brother and I admire everything he has been through and everything he continues to do. I quit smoking because of the harsh words he has for callers that sound like smokers.
  8. Is there anything else you would like to share? I love meeting people that have similar views on life but I also love meeting people that very different. Coming from a small town, I like having friends on the ‘outside’ so to speak. I wont be missing Ellismania 9 for the world, hope to meet you all there!
