The Butch and Chris Show

Saying goodbye to Sir Patrick Stewart & Walter Koenig, who was nice to meet at the Arkansas Comic-Con. You know. Nerd stuff. And the usual stuff. Which is why you listen.

On this episode of greatness, we talk about the bands that are not in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame! Some will surprise you!

On this episode, we talk about food controversies! Also, daylight saving time all year long? And why to not pet the fuffy brown murder cows! Pee Paw Yeet 2026!

Dang near live from Butch's patio: What store brands are as good as the national brands? Is there anything you insist on buying the name brand?

This episode was recorded back in April, 2026. When you could sit outside in Arkansas and not melt or have your blood drained by the skeeters. This topic was also selected by our Facebook peeps.

In this episode, Chris takes a call! The wheel of topics lands on Retro TV, and we talk about locally born and raised actor Hart Denton who is on the Yellowstone spinoff Dutton Ranch.

We talk pizza chains and childhood memories. Also, Butch relates his recent story with the Sonic Sign Flicker...you just have to listen.

Jennifer MT requested Butch to tell a story that is very much like "This one time at bandcamp". It's a storytime episode. Also, was a Texas Plumber part of a terrorist plot? This and the usual tomfoolery on this episode of the Butch & Chris Show.

On this episode, THE Dog Tick Mike Clegg joins us for a breakdown of a list of Top Movies for Guys from a book published years ago called The Big Damned Book of Sheer Manliness. Movie quotes and passionate discussions of The Godfather are guaranteed to ensue.

We are joined by our friend Dog Tick (Mike Clegg) for our Christmas show! We talk about childhood memories of Christmas. The TV shows, toys we had or wanted, family, food and fun.

It's a show of "Would you rather do this, or that". Along with the usual tomfoolery and shenanigans.

On this episode dad jokes. Some good some... not so very good...dad jokes. Seemed like a good idea on paper. BUT, you do get to hear Butch's favorite joke ever! So there's that. OH, and also Bowling For Soup, and turkey.

Apparently younger folks don't like to be called buddy or get a thumbs up from Gen X! How Donna's husband made Butch get a hearing test. Tactical assault poodles. Full body cleansing with roadside BBQ and cheap beer. Then a full on Willey Vanilli close.

Folks it's like a podcast with 50% more! In this episode, Ace Frehley, flooding, England, and other stuff. Plus, half of an episode recorded a couple of months ago at Persimmon Ridge.

Butch, Chris and Debbie take a listen to classic TV themes and commercials from the 70's and 80's.

Outlaw country is the topic today as Debbie joins the guys. Also, did you know Johnny Cash was attacked by an ostrich? That and other silliness will ensue.

Steve and Kim Jones join us to tell how they bought a 9 hole golf course and transformed it into one of the premier disc golf courses in the United States. This episode was recorded at Persimmon Ridge Resort.

We take the show on the road, recording at the beautiful Persimmon Ridge Resort & Disc Golf with owner Steve Jones. The topics include ...well a lot of stuff, but mainly we talk music. Specifically, albums considered to be great classics, but we look for the weakest songs on those albums.

Movie soundtracks used to be a thing. I mean, they still are, but in the 70's and 80's movie soundtracks were a big dang deal.

Ah, the topic comes around almost every Summer. Hot weather. Butch and Chris talk about the good and bad of Summer in The South. Also, breaking wind in church. Because we are high class like that.

Guys, it was a tough week for Gen X. We lost icons this week. Malcom Jamal-Warner, Hulk Hogan and Ozzy Osbourne. This week we pay tribute to the man who helped define what heavy metal and hard rock is today. We talk about the one and only Ozzy!

The guys talk about growing up in the 70's and 80's and how younger people just have no idea how different the world was back in the day. Hey! It's old dude remembering stuff!

We're talking (Butch is complaining....again) about what he thinks is the worst people on Facebook and other social media outlets. Recorded almost live from Butch's patio this episode features not only Butch and Chris, but Debbie Renfroe joins us for the entire show. Join us as we endure bugs, barking dogs, and mosquitos! patreon.com/butchandchris

Butch and Chris (and later Debbie) discuss video games and compare the gaming experience of today to back in the day.

Apparently, we were not finished talking about the top rock tracks from May, 1981! Also, the Legend of Mike Feehan!

Howdy friends, we have returned from a 3 month hiatus to take care of life stuff! This episode comes to you live from Butch's patio and we discuss Chris's time working concert security. Plus, Chris has a Sweet Connie story featuring a very popular classic rock act. AND we have a copy of the Top Rock Tracks from May 1981 that we delve deep into. So much so, it spills over into next week's episode! Welcome back friends! https://www.patreon.com/c/butchandchris/membership

In our quest to have the most random topics ever, we talk about our recent trip to see Zakk Sabbath, the Black Sabbath cover band headed up by Zakk Wylde (Ozzy, Black Label Society). And because we felt like it, cruise tips from two guys who have been a few cruises.

In a topic near and dear to their little Southern raised hearts, the guys talk breakfast foods.

Chris has a new movie ranking system that Butch heard about mere minutes before the podcast. Apparently the movie list Chris found was some random dude in his mom's basement, because...well it was a unique list. Also, we talk songs that we could never hear again and not miss them because...song burnout. I'm looking at you Old Time Rock & Roll.

It's the 2024 Christmas Episode of The Butch & Chris Show! It's us being stupid and loud, but with a Holiday theme! Come on it, grab a cup of the nog, and laugh along with us.

Chris and Butch had the distinct opportunity and honor to sit down for a conversation with Mr. Shelby Grimes and Mr. Troy Braswell about their service in World War II. Mr. Grimes and Mr. Braswell served in the United States Navy in the Pacific theater. We are so proud to let them tell their stories.

Butch and Chris talk about 50 iconic foods (according to the Internet) from all 50 of these United States.

Butch and Chris return after a couple of months off, a name change to the podcast, and the loss of Linda Curtis and Steven Norris. The guys talk about the change of the name from The Retro Show to The Butch & Chris Show, the current state of Razorback football, and Butch and Debbie's trip to England. We're back!

Chris had a Foghat-inspired moment to talk about the essential hard rock acts of the early to mid 1970's. So we do just that! Check it out!

On August 2, 2024 Aerosmith announces their retirement from touring and live performances. Despite Steven Tyler's efforts to recover from the career ending vocal injury he sustained in 2023. This episode is us saying goodbye to one of the best rock bands ever! Thanks for the music guys!

Debbie takes over and ask's Butch and Chris a variety of questions.

Debbie Renfroe joins us for fun, impromptu singing of TV theme songs and 70's Trivia!

The rise of Southern Rock started in the late 1960's and peaked in the mid 70's with the rise of bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd, Allman Brothers, Blackfoot and Molly Hatchet. We talk about those bands and many more on this episode about Southern Rock! #classicrock #1970s #southernrock
