The RachaelORama Punk Show

Join us as we catch up with film director Josh Roush for a hilarious, behind-the-scenes look at his adventures in Hollywood! From working with Kevin Smith and collaborating with Social Distortion and Me First and the Gimme Gimmes to band T-shirts, body parts, and plenty of unexpected stories, this conversation goes in directions you definitely won't see coming.

This episode of the RachaelORama Punk Show did not air on the radio.

Bruce Zebal of Empired and Linh Le of Bad Cop Bad Cop joined us in the ROR studio and, as usual, we covered all the important topics; pro wrestling, being mistaken for other people, the slight height difference between Bruce and Linh, touring overseas, making faces in music videos, signature basses, and a whole bunch of other stuff we definitely planned to talk about including their new collab on a beloved Empired song, “Repose”. Come for the music, stay for the weird conversations.

This version of “Repose” is EXCLUSIVE to The RachaelORama! Then you can stream this amazing jam star...

Five years of punk rock, bad jokes, questionable decisions, interviews going completely off the rails, and occasionally remembering I’m supposed to be running a radio show. 📻

New bands. Old bands. Loud bands. Weird bands. Bad bands. Great bands. -And somehow @kxfmradio STILL lets me have a microphone two hours every Tuesday night!

5 YEARS DOWN. 500 TO GO!

Join us in celebrating Cinco de Mayo with Manic Hispanic songs and their covers (because we all know Manic Hispanic wrote those songs, everyone else just copied them).

Old friends, no filter, no clock, zero editing, Efrem Schulz of Death by Stereo, Manic Hispanic, and Mutiny got so deep in it we forgot to even hit record for the first half hour. When we finally did, it was pure chaos: wild on-stage moments, unhinged tour stories, and those reckless younger days when alcohol sponsors were basically a green light for mayhem. We have it all but we didn't even come close to scratching the surface! He drops info on the Manic Hispanic upcoming shows, including a stacked, can’t-miss Cinco de Mayo show for a "world-famous" radio station!

HOUR 2:
We caught up with Tim DeLaughter of Tripping Daisy to celebrate 30 years of I Am an Elastic Firecracker and spiraled into everything from doom scrolling and the unreal cleanliness of Buc-ee’s to backwards drums and next-level memorabilia merch. Also: How I will absolutely riot if “Blown Away” doesn’t make the setlist at their May 8 show at House of Blues Anaheim… plus a whole lot more.

Smelly from NOFX and Greg Dickson of Toxic Energy crash into The RachaelORama Punk Show to rip into the new NOFX documentary 40 Years of Fucking Up, breaking down the chaos, the legacy, and the stories you probably shouldn’t repeat. Plus, what Smelly’s up to now with Pickle Stix Surfboards, and why slowing down was never really an option
This is your official documentary SPOILER ALERT.
Although this episode was not aired on the radio, here is the playlist for this weeks show that was actually aired:
Joata, Young
Unsound Sunday, Closer
Wine Lips, Eyes...

We jump in with DC alt/punk mischief-makers R-NOT and drugs, sex, and alcohol accidentally enter the convo. (We tried to behave. We failed.)It’s a rowdy, laugh-too-hard hang with the three instigators outta the nation’s capital, tearing into Gaslighter; Part 1, skate life, Little Caesars Pizza Pizza runs, flavored tobacco bans, producers, and whatever random nonsense we derail into next.

Pull up for a wild one as we sit down with Gram and Dave of Mad Tab, alongside the legendary Norwood Fisher, formerly of the world-famous Fishbone and now the mastermind behind INNANUTTSHELL REKORDINGZ.
We dive into the new label roster, their latest single “Awake,” the upcoming album, irrational fears, snowboarding chaos, and the truly important question; if their hands had to go, what the hell would replace them? Yeah… it goes there. And then some.
This episode of The RachaelORama Punk Show did not air on the radio (hence the cursing).

HOUR 2: Straight out of Woodstock, NY, this rising force is one you do not want to sleep on. We get into what it’s really like being young women in the music scene, linking up at music school, and casually mastering basically every instrument you can think of (seriously… what can’t they play?).We also dive into their favorite covers, wide-ranging influences, their first LA show, the upcoming UK tour, and a whole lot more chaos in between.

Listen in as the homiest of the homies, Fourth in Line invade the RachaelORama Punk Show and honestly… we should’ve had a waiver. 🔥New music for the first time since 1999 (yes, REALLY), plus laughs, chaos, questionable commentary, mild emotional damage, and absolutely zero filters.

I was equal parts thrilled and fully terrified to get them all in one room talking OG Orange County roots, knowing me since the ’90s, and way more than anyone needed to confess out loud about Paula Abdul. You will learn things about these guys you’ll wish you could forget — and that’s exactly why I...
