42 White Guys and Barack Obama

Pete Hnilicka — Tue, 19 Feb 2013 07:35:00 +0000

As regular listeners know, in addition to my rigorous Ass-Jammery duties, I started interning at the Fish in the Morning a few months ago, and was recently promoted to "Unpaid Assistant Producer on Mondays".

When Fish asked me to prepare a song for President's Day, I jumped at the chance, and I couldn't be more proud of the result.

Ass-Jammaroo-palooz-a-thon II Coming Feb 21-22

Pete Hnilicka — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 20:54:53 +0000

FoMSR and Fundamental Pete's Ass-Jammery are excited to announce another radio marathon / online auction to benefit WSUM! Distinguished host Fundamental Pete and many of his classy friends will be on the air for a 22-hour-22-minute show that will end at 2:22pm on 2/22 (the 11-year anniversary of WSUM).

Last year, with the help of MANY friends, we raised over $2000! This year, the goal is $5000. We know we can do it, but we need your help!

We are currently accepting donations for the auction, which we'll be marketing with a sustained station-wide effort. For an entire week leading up to the 2:22pm deadline, we'll be promoting the online auction heavily on the air. We'll be thanking those who donated every hour, and promoting different items available for bid. Plus lots of social media, of course. SO, if you would like to contribute anything (and/or know of someone who might), it would be greatly appreciated, AND you'll receive great on-air and online publicity in exchange for your donation to our non-profit.

Credit to Aaron H for that hilarious joke in the post subject.

All kidding aside, it is a New Year, which has caused me to take serious stock of the Ass-Jammery website, and ask myself some tough questions. Namely: What can I do to make it better?

Obvious Answer #1:

Obvious Answer #2: More Updates. Here's hoping!

Happy New Year!

Upbeat Summer

A visit from our favorite Madison food bloggers made this End-of-Summer show an upbeat one, indeed. We talked about summer doo-wop adventures, judging the World Mustard Competition, the Republican National Convention, and oh yeah... 1983! Thanks for listening, everybody!

Depression

Pete Hnilicka — Sun, 26 Aug 2012 22:07:36 +0000

WSUM's own Grandma Cyd was a fantastic guest this week, helping to keep my spirits up during this Depression-themed Ass-Jammery.

We compared the Great Depression to clinical depression, heard about Cyd's upcoming volunteer drinking project for the Madison Police Department, and discussed the relevance of the intentions of Eddie Vedder, Cole Porter, and Elvis Presley. Plus, Engine Adam arranged a call from his dad, Dr. Joseph Weisenfarth of the UW English Department, to talk about growing up in Depression-Era Brooklyn, NY.

All that and much more on this rollicking Ass-Jammery!

Thanks for calling, emailing, face-booking, tweeting, and listening.

Direction

Lively show today, as new friend Shafia Powell told us about her work and travels with Sarvodaya USA, while Ricardo from Rick's Olde Gold was giving away Silver Dollars to numerous lucky callers. Fun show from my end. Thanks for listening, everybody.

The Olympics

Pete Hnilicka — Fri, 17 Aug 2012 02:30:22 +0000

We had to come back from summer vacation early to talk about the grandeur and majesty that was the 2012 London Summer Olympics, including and especially the McDonald's Medal Count. I was so inspired, I decided to pit Kathy against Liberty in the first-ever Ass-Jammery Olympic Games. And, I came up with some suggestions for new Olympic 'spinoffs' (you know, like the Paralympics). Grand show... thanks for listening, as always!

1968 Time Capsule Show

Pete Hnilicka — Thu, 02 Aug 2012 19:30:10 +0000

As we all know, Ass-Jammeries have existed (in one form or another) for thousands of years. While our Ass-Jammery is on summer vacation, we thought we'd play some Ass-Jammeries from The Vault. You know, just for fun.

This week we'll hear Black Power Rick's Ass-Jammery doing their 1968 Year In Review show, originally recorded in 1968, a year full of fascinating things to talk about!

Islands

Hey Gang,

Sorry for the late upload of this podcast, but last week was a crazy one for me, as I mention on the show, which was a good one. So, without further ado...

Betrayal

Pete Hnilicka — Fri, 20 Jul 2012 05:13:26 +0000

Splatter Alice from Mad Rollin' Dolls was back to talk about Betrayal in a very double-crossed Ass-Jammery. We talk about history's most infamous traitors, the world's largest penis, and the most improbably place to find a woman. Plus a great new segment: the AssJammery.com Google Search Result of the Week!
