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.
McG (@johninhouston)
- Where do you live? Houston Tx (hence the nickname JohnInHouston) which over the years has been shortened to Houston.
- What is your occupation? For the majority of my time in the Ellis world I worked for Red Bull but now working for Vending Machine company managing a section of the city.
- Tell me a little about yourself. Well, most of my personal life has been shared on the show. Anyway, I’m adopted, grew up in Orange County CA, grew up skating and riding BMX. I have no kids and despite what Ellis may say I’m not angry at my balls. I met a great chick about 18 months ago and couldn’t be happier.
- How long have you listened to TJES? I’ve been listening since Rawdog was Thunderbird/illusionist. Shortly after Ellis went to days and had Tully and LittleCoffeeFoot as an intern so over 5 years now.
- How did you discover TJES? I got Sirius on the recommendation of a coworker and found faction because I liked the music. I found the show by accident on day and knew who Ellis was from growing up skating.
- What keeps you listening to TJES? Everything about the show keeps me listening. I have been lucky enough to become friends with the guys as well as many other regular friends and guests of the show.
- Has the show changed or impacted you life in any way? How? My life is like night and day now. I’ve been lucky enough to fight in EM 2 & 4. As well as corner for Donald Schultz and Ashlee in at EM6 and lucky enough to be at SwingHouse when I went to LA. I got to host a Ellismania premiere party here in Houston and even got Shoebox flown into town (where he saved me from choking and dying). I picked up boxing and lost 80lbs in 9 months. Totally turned my life around to longer be a FatAss. Plus, To be recognized by other fans at events I’ve never met before is a crazy feeling. I’ve been very lucky.
- Is there anything else you would like to share? I have met an amazing group of people from all over this country and Canada. Friends from coast to coast north to south. Above all else that’s the best part. The fans. People always see the RDS logo and ask what it is. I always say “You wouldn’t understand”. If they listen we throw up the signal and scream Red Dragons!! Radio Fight Club, crack Radio Fight Club.
Paul M (@PaulM138666)
- Where do you live? Currently living in Randolph, MA. (About 20 minutes outside of Boston)
- What is your occupation? I am a Union Stagehand and I also work as a carpenter when I am not working concerts.
- Tell me a little about yourself. I have been playing trombone since I was 7yrs old, still playing at 37. I went to college for Jazz performance and music education. I taught high school music for 5 years and realized it wasn’t for me. I own a 2006 Harley sportster which I was involved in a major accident with 24 hrs after buying it. It was Karma giving me a “warning shot” about being a bad person. I have become a motorcycle mechanic and wrench on my Jeep all out of necessity and my quest to know how everything works. I have enjoyed meeting and spending quality time with a bunch of random people from around North America that I proudly love like family. I am always interested in learning something new every day. You can usually find me on the tweety thing @PaulM138666 and also on Ellismania PaulM13866. If you are going to randomly follow me make sure you say hi, or I will more then likely block you.
- How long have you listened to TJES? I have been listening to TJES for about 5/6 years.
- How did you discover TJES? I caught Jason on Hawks show a couple times, and mostly heard him doing his Octane thing in the morning. (I wonder how many of you knew he was on Octane?) I was driving home early one day and caught the last hour or so of his show and have been a fan ever since.
- What keeps you listening to TJES? I listen to Ellis because each personality of the show is like a personification of who I am, and it was nice to discover I wasn’t “alone” in my thoughts and trying to survive in this world.
- Has the show changed or impacted you life in any way? How? the show helped “push” me in to taking control of my life and realizing that if I wanted to make it better I am the one that has to do it. I had the opportunity to step in to the ring at Ellismania 6 as part of the robot fight as a substitute and it sparked me to get back in to shape. Jason helped me see how making just small changes in my eating and living habits could make big changes. I don’t mindlessly eat up every word Jason says and try to live that way, but I filter his advice and make it fit in my own life. I will always support Ellis, Tully, Josh, and Will, hopefully they wont become so successful they forget the “blue collar” folks.
- Is there anything else you would like to share? Be respectful of the people you call “EllisFam.” Remember they are people just like you and I, they have fears, ups and downs. Support your friends that you have made from TJES and they will support you. I have a group of people that are from all different walks of life and would be complete strangers under any other circumstance that I love very much. I will be there to pick them up, have their back, and boot them in the ass whenever they need me and always greet them with a hug and smooch!
If you would like to be apart of the EllisFam Interviews, please contact me (@Az_RedDragon) through twitter and I will send the interview to you.
Show Re-cap For Monday 8/27/2012
Well let’s food it up!
Okay, it’s Monday, and the bus just pulled up to take us all to Awesome World. I know after this weekend some of you have issues with buses now, but I assure you, this bus ride is much safer – and way less sexy. So hop your Puritan ass aboard and let’s get this mutha rolling, shall we? So today starts the breakfast of champions challenge that originally started out as a bet between Ellis and Rawdog, but has grown to now include Tully – who is upping the game by eating a portion of what both Ellis and Rawdog are eating. Just in case all of this is news to you, let’s review. Ellis made a menu of 3 meals for Rawdog to eat, Rawdog made a menu of 3 meals for Ellis to eat, and Tully will be eating his choice from both menus. Breakfast today started with Ellis having a McGriddle, Rawdog having oatmeal with dried berries, and Tully had a sausage, egg, & cheese McMuffin and oatmeal. For lunch, Rawdog had a green drink and an acai bowl, Ellis had a Baconator® (yea I put the registered mark there – problem?), fries, and a drink from Wendy’s, and Tully had a chicken sandwich combo meal from Burger King. Dinner for Ellis will be KFC’s chunky chicken pot pie combo that comes with mashed potatoes & gravy, a biscuit, and a drink, dinner for Rawdog will be fish & a kale salad, and I think Tully is having a burger for dinner.
What? Did you think they ate souls?
Trampolines turn kids into crack addicted cats on catnip, or something very similar to that anyway. Rawdog and his girlfriend went to the crumping district in San Diego and stayed at one of her friends’ place. At nighty-night time, they started making out and doing some hand puppetry on each other – and then abruptly stopped just before Rawdog was able to release the Kraken. Ellis ran into some celebrity over the weekend, but Tully’s story takes honors when he ran into Glenn Danzig shopping at the same Japanese grocery store he was at. He tried to be sly about the whole ordeal so as not to be “that guy”, after awhile of following, the hunter became the hunted as roles reversed and Danzig started following Tully. Like a true champ, he stood his ground and eventually got a picture of Danzig and his girlfriend stocking up on wassabi or some shit. It’s gotta be weird running into Danzig as you and he are both out running normal, everyday errands.
The originator of the “No you are” defense?
Lucky girls @FaceplantLauren and @Shanwize1 were guests on the show today and Shantanee made the courageous choice to tell us she likes Fiver Finger Death Punch. As bad as that may sound to some of you, just remember that Rawdog likes Reverse Milk Magnet – therefore one could pretty much like anything and be in the clear. It sounds like there’s going to be a “round 2” fight between the girls at the next Ellismania, this time it may be the “Humongous Drunk Bitch Fight” as it was revealed today that Shantanee and her corner man were both drunk during the fight – now that’s a party! Vince Neil went some place and then got mad at some body and he yelled and stuff. Pee Wee Herman is 60 today, which is crazy when I think about him jerking off and using his signature voice to dirty talk. Some “band” (read: Tia, Jay, Mike, & Tom) did a cover of Death! Death! Die! – Put Your Balls On It, @CobraTits tweeted the link but I accidentally got credit for the tweet by mistake. Now that the record is straight on that, I had to set the record straight on one more thing… When your mom came to me and asked me to call a repairman because the dishwasher was broken, I told her I didn’t need to call anyone and I abruptly punched her in de face. Dishwasher has worked ever since. OH!

中Darya Gigi Wolfe中 (@dardar70)
- Where do you live? Carlsbad, California
- What is your occupation? Customer Service Manager
- Tell me a little about yourself. I’m a San Diego native and a sucker for a skater… having followed skating everywhere from TJ (mexico) skate park, Del Mar skate park, the short lived McGills skate to the YMCA in Encinitas (old school days before it got fancy like it is today), if its where my guy friends were going my best friend and I tagged along. I love punk rock; skaters and punk rock go hand in hand. Over time friendships developed and the guys skating the contests ended up working for ESPN, WCS, starting skate companies or opening shops which kept me connected. Then everyone started having kids we’d see each other at the Damn Am contests, which turned into backyard BBQs & more good times. These days we’re all over 40 but still going to punk rock shows getting sweaty and having a BLAST! My guy crops, drops & bags old school cars so we go to a lot of classic car shows. I’ve developed some amazing friendships attending ellismania events! Been to 5 EM events including mini-mania to watch Sean’s knee dislocate and Foxy kick some ass!
- How long have you listened to TJES? Since I got my car in May 2006
- How did you discover TJES? on Tony Hawks Demolition Radio. I knew his name from skating and he was pretty funny on Tony’s show, then he went to an afternoon show 3-6 or 7 so I’d listen on my way home from work. Eventually he moved to noon CA time which worked out great cause I could listen online – have been a daily listener every since, well when life doesn’t get in the way.
- What keeps you listening to TJES? Everything… cause I’ve been listening so long I get all the inside jokes, and all the dialog is like hanging out with my friends. Lets face it, I AM ENTERTAINED!
- Has the show changed or impacted you life in any way? How? The show hasn’t really changed me, its made me better. I’ve developed amazing friendships, created some priceless memories and have one hell of a weekend to look forward to once or twice a year in Vegas with my ellisfam.
- Is there anything else you would like to share? Yes! I pay for my ellismania.com cause its only 5 bucks a month and it used to be fun to chat with friends and Jason about the show. These days the EM.com dialog exchange is just mean, judgmental and argumentative – I give my $5 bucks to support “the wing” but don’t go on there cause the fans are f’ing a’holes. AND there are a lot of people out there saying they’re ellisfam but don’t attend the events, buy the merchandise or listen to the show regularly. Like I said before, I’ve developed some amazing friendships with so many people all over the US and in Canada (yes, Canada) and I’ve experienced more support, love, and friendship from the ellisfam and talk to some of these people more than I talk to members of my own family. Ellisfam has come together donating money to fellow ellisfam members for such things like getting people to ellismania, putting food on the family table and even buy presents at Christmas when fellow ellisfam has been down on their luck. Hell, we even collected a few bucks for Scott Green when he crashed his car. This group, this true group of people, is so amazing and I am lucky to call them my friends.
Adam Christian (@adamRDS)
- Where do you live? Brampton, Ontario, Canada
- What is your occupation? General Contractor
- Tell me a little about yourself. I work with my Dad in the family business and for the last 8 years, I used to run a home repo division for the company so I can break in to your house and kick you out in 10 min’s. I’ve been to two Ellismania’s 6 and 7 was really hope to get to 8 but I bought a house and shits tight I’m hope to go to 9 but we’ll see. I’ve a 15 month old black lab and if you follow me you’ll see a shit load of pictures of Molly she’s a badass dog. I’m always willing to have a cold beer but who isn’t.
- How long have you listened to TJES? 4-5 years
- How did you discover TJES? I had XM in Canada and the merger of Sirius and XM in the state brought Faction to XM Canada and it had some music that I listen to and heard Ellis and that’s it and I only heard Howard a couple of times on a FM station in Toronto but that was back in the 90’s.
- What keeps you listening to TJES? I was close to stop listening a few times when Tully left due to the stretch time but I stuck to it. and with Tully’s return its been really good and of corse Josh’s life is crazy. And the Man him self Ellis he make you believe you can do anything.
- Has the show changed or impacted you life in any way? How? I’ve learned a lot about eating right and relationship shit as well. I’ve lost 30lbs and keep on keeping on.
- Is there anything else you would like to share? I play baseball, love taking pictures of thunder storms got some great shots of lightening.
