Deathcakes Podcast - Nojibbajabbafm.com

Beginning with a brief summary and commentary of 1991’s “Ernest Scared Stupid”, and following up with the late 80’s Saturday morning “Hey Vern, It’s Ernest!” tv show, Jay and illy give you a denim-clad double-dose of memories of their favorite dimwitted neighbor. KnowhutImean? Intro Music: “Old School” by DangerDoom / Outro: “Boogie Monster” by Gnarls Barkley

GOTCHA!!! Jay and illy have a good laugh at their attempt to throw everyone for a loop, then get right into the story you all have been waiting for: just what is a deathcake and why is it the name of the show? They also get into a few of the podcasts that inspired them to get into the biz as well. Here’s to 10 more episodes and counting! Intro Music: “Freaknik is Back” by T-Pain / Outro: “I’m Back” by AZ

Don’t adjust your RSS feed, Deathcakes is gone, replaced by I Pity The Fool Podcast. Jay and illy take a moment to look back at the first 9 episodes, talk about some of their favorite moments and correcting some mistakes made on past shows. They also shout out some of their listeners and twitter followers, and announce their first ever contest (check twitter and facebook for more details)! New sponsor, new name, same knuckleheads……and absolutely NO JIBBA JABBA!!!!

It’s another off-the-clock session as this minisode goes no further back than 2005. With the Xbox One and Playstation 4 soon hitting retail shelves, Jay and illy look back on the current console cycle to run through a list of their favorite games and sleeper hits (and no, they don’t immediately crown GTA V as the greatest in the history of the universe). Grab a beer, sit back and listen!

Where were YOU when the Wu debuted? Jay, illy, and special guest Rokmore (aka illy’s cousin, Jeff) answer that question for themselves, before delving into a timeline of Wu-Tang music, videos, merch and more. Listen as they marvel at the ingenuity of the Wu-Tang Clan concepts, recount their favorite (and least-favorite) albums and tracks, and identify which members are the Wu-equivalents of Flesh-N-Bone and Mr. Serv-On. Can I get a “SUUUUUUU”?  Outro Music: “Venom #2” by Wrecking Crew -- wreckingcrew.bandcamp.com

illy kicks back, fireside chat-style, to talk about his exposure to The [Juke]Box Network in 1990, the many songs and artists he discovered via the channel, and how it all shaped his early fascination with hip-hop music and culture. You won’t wanna miss this barrage of bangin’ beats, so BE THERE, boppers!

Deathcakes has the guts to spin the wheel and double dares ya to put on the hits (people, you don’t know the half!). From the popular to the obscure, from amazingly good to jaw-droppingly bad, Jay and illy run through a wild assortment of retro game show memories in this episode. No whammies! Outro Music: “Price Is Right” by A-1 -- soundcloud.com/adamraps 

It all begins at that magic hour of 7pm… you guessed it: primetime television. From Cosby to Manimal (yes, Manimal), the duo run through many of their 80’s favorites, with a few 90’s programs as well. Plus, Jay shares his own recipe for the famous Bacon Burger Dawg… you won’t wanna miss! Outro music: “Family Matters” by A-1 -- soundcloud.com/adamraps

Deathcakes delivers another minisode as Jay gives you a countdown of six of his favorite anime opening themes.

In this episode, your favorite Yesterday People head across the Atlantic to talk about how pop culture and entertainment from the UK influenced them. From television to music, they talk about their early exposure right up to what they are watching now. Outro Music: “I’m British” by Professor Elemental -- professorelemental.com

Picking up where Episode 5 left off, Jay and illy imagine what Billy Jo Jive would be doing as an adult, get in touch with their feelings with the Heartstrongs, and give their final thoughts on Sesame Street.

Take a trip to everyone’s favorite neighborhood as Jay and illy head to Sesame Street. After fondly remembering skits of the past, it takes a turn as they take a look at the dark underbelly of the characters. Who is the Red Menace? Who has bodies stashed in Oscar’s can? Who left his life of pimps and hoes behind? Find out on part one of the show! Outro Music: RoQ’y TyRaiD - “Woosah! (Breathe)” -- roqytyraid.bandcamp.com

Accessories, add-ons, peripherals: whatever you wanna call em, they’ve been around since the early days of home gaming and they’re here to stay. The problem?.. many of these devices are GARBAGE. illy and Jay run through a brief list of said accessories from the NES, Game Boy, SNES and Genesis to figure out which, if any, were actually good! Intro Music: “Proto Culture” by Del The Funky Homosapien feat. Khaos Unique / Outro Music: “2 Brothers From The Gutter” by Percee P feat. Diamond D

Deathcakes returns from a brief hiatus to take you through the personal musical journeys of both hosts. Jay & illy discuss their early experiences with music in general and 80’s pop culture, then go into their discovery and love of hip-hop and favorite artists of the 80’s and 90’s eras. They also reminisce about Yo! MTV Raps, Columbia House Music Club, and Majic 108 (shout out to Kevy Kev!) Outro Music: Coolio - “I Remember” feat. Billy Boy & J-Ro

After the dust has settled and opinions and info have sunk in, Jay & illy discuss the 2013 E3 conference, aka the “Nerd Super Monkey Ball” [we call it something else… we also don’t want to be sued by the NFL!]. Why 3.75? Cause it’s extra long for a mini [making it our first Maxi-minisode] and includes the show’s first special guest. Marque, Jay’s big brother, joins the crew to talk the PS4 and XBox One (Eighty). Intro music: “For the Gamers” by Random aka Mega Ran -- megaranmusic.com / Outro music: “Gamer” by Sadat X

A film that partly inspired this podcast’s inception leads you to an episode that nearly caused its demise (illy could barely get through the movie; Jay almost quit the show… twice!) By picking apart one of the first black superhero flicks, The Meteor Man, Deathcakes takes the bullet (or perhaps, falls on the sword) so that every other retro entertainment/bad movie podcast out there won’t have to! Intro Music: “Hero Muzik” by Random AKA Mega Ran feat. Ilyas -- megaranmusic.com

Unable to resist the urge to continue the cartoon theme music convo, illy tables his original plan and instead, goes back to share HIS list of personal favorites in Episode 1.5.5 (okay… “2.5”) Music: “Happy Days” by PackFM (instrumental prod. by Tonedeff) -- QN5.com

Jay & illy return to discuss their early gaming experiences, from arcades and Atari to SNES and Sega Genesis. They also make time along the way to talk about schoolyard brawls (“Sweep the leg, illy-san!”), Robo-Michael Jackson (yes, MJ memorabilia finds its way onto the show again), and one child’s dreams crushed by the Powerglove.  Outro Music: “Epoch” by Random aka Mega Ran -- megaranmusic.com

The first minisode. Expanding on the theme song discussion, Jay drops in with a playlist of his top 5 (actually 9) favorite cartoon intros. [Also the background music was a little higher than it should have been so I may be hard to understand a couple times. Sorry, at 1am it sounded fine. -Jay] Music: “Grow Up” by Random aka Mega Ran -- megaranmusic.com

Jay and illy drop straight into a conversation of their earliest childhood memories - no particular topic, just freestyling it (flowcharts are available by request!) What is the Great Heap? Who’s the toughest man in the world? Learn all that, and more in the pilot episode of Deathcakes. And Doctor John’s?… totally a chain of sex shops in Missouri. Intro music - “Big Kid Remix” by Doug Funnie -- dougfunnie.bandcamp.com
