A Prairie Punk House Companion

Neckbone and Jerbear discuss whether you can still appreciate music, movies and TV shows made by awful people. Where is the line? You won't really find out here, but it's still fun to listen to us struggle to figure out if we can!

Neckbone and Jerbear pay tribute to some in the scene and friends of the scene who have died, including Jason, a Manhattan, Kansas, punk who was supposed to be the guest this week, but passed just a few days before recording. This is a sad one, so pour out a 40 oz if you have one on hand. TRIGGER WARNING: There are mentions of murder, self harm and suicide in this episode. If you feel that you might need help to not self-harm, please call 988, the suicide help line.

In this episode Neckbone and Jerbear go over their top five punk bands, why they are their top five punk bands and personal anecdotes about them. Even though these lists are fluid, this is where they landed this week. The scientifically calculated greatest punk band of all time will shock you! Or maybe it won't.

Neckbone and Jerbear make sure to start and stop this one with comments so random, you'll never see them coming! On this episode, Joe stops by the (virtual) studio to talk about the finer points of living in not one, but two houses with no functional toilet, house shows and surprise roommates. Don't forget to monitor everyone's porn use while you listen to three guys in their 40's try to remember stuff.

Neckbone and Jerbear talk about their divergent paths in both Wichita and Kansas City. Jerbear tries to get sober in Wichita while Neckbone fulfills his Clerks fantasy by working at an independent video store. Neckbone also talks about the time he almost joined a cult and also the time he got to work with Mike Patton and Karen Black on a movie (sort of)!

Neckbone and Jerbear talk about the end of the Annex and their separate paths leaving Lawrence, Jerbear to Wichita to get sober and Neckbone back to Kansas City to continue the debauchery. More Rainbow Dungeon of Rock and the beginning of the Central House 2 era.

Neckbone and Jerbear talk to Mike about the Pirate House, the Rainbow Dungeon of Rock, Killed in the Face and batteries thrown in Olathe, Kan.

Neckbone and Jerbear become roommates again, this time in Lawrence, Kan. The end of STL, Lawrence drive-by shooting and September 11, 2001.

Neckbone and Jerbear talk with Little Johnny to fill some gaps about Lawrence, Kan. We talk random shows, the Flanders House, the Pirate House, the Haunted Kitchen, Rainbow Dungeon of Rock and mysterious cigarette butts!

Neckbone and Jerbear bid farewell to the Kansas City era and find greener pastures in Lawrence and St. Louis. Crime, booze, squatters and the welcoming of the first Central House kids to Boston Apartments!

Neckbone and Jerbear keep it a-political. Politics have no place in punk so we keep it light. I promise there is nothing political in this episode, trust me, this is not sarcastic. In this episode we talk about everything from what is going on right now in the news to Buffy and Passions. Despite the title, Star Trek is only mentioned once (by Neckbone), but we needed it to rhyme and pay homage to Propagandhi, so there you go.

In this episode Neckbone and Jerbear interview Kansas City scene legend Sarah. Sarah offers a new perspective on the scene and receives an overdue apology from Jerbear for the poster destruction controversy (Is that an overly dramatic way to phrase that? Yes, but we try to get as much clickbait as possible in these descriptions).

Neckbone and Jerbear talk about moving on to Kansas City and leaving Wichita behind.

Neckbone and Jerbear talk with Kansas Street legend, Ronbert, the Rube Goldberg of destruction. This is the last Wichita episode, next stop Kansas City!
