theBreakdown is just like the Steve Allen Show, except that there is no video and none of our guests are interesting. Learn to appreciate the legal system and discover what it means to have “no redeeming social value.” Imagine us as a roadside cart, serving up news, rage and the occasional single-use ‘comedy’ bits interspersed with eclectic musical selections. News, Rants, Stories and Explosions!

Aaron Schock’s abs, Batman signs, do a live acapella performance of Intergalactic by the Beastie Boys and go over Jacob’s set and his tweets.

May 09 2011no

With special guests Timothy Douglas, Trish Eggerton and Logan Gillepsie. An extra punchy and hilarious episode of theBreakdown. Jacob has spent the past hour on the radio doing You’re Probably Right and is now doing another 2. We discuss nipples to an irritating point (like Trista’s pointy nipples), go over Jacob’s new character Trace Tracerman and read his publicist release “so we know who he is.” We also discuss Nazi’s, Movies U Lik and who knows what else. It’s a madcap episode of theBreakdown, so buckle in.

May 02 2011

With special guests Evan Naeher and Henry Jensen. A punchy episode of theBreakdown, where we discuss the news and Donald Trump’s politics. We play a rousing game of would you rather, where we ask: Would you rather Stack Paper or Stack Bitches? The answers may surprise you! Also on tap; Angry Birds, Swamp People and Evan Naeher as FASHION COP.

Mon, Jan 24 2011 20:00 -05:003:48

With special guests Cory Alexander, Charlie Resnick and Justin Lowenhagen. No Reporter Detective due to Jacob’s hard drive crashing last week. We discuss food, gay employee pay, racism, canned foods, plastic surgery and the Netherworld. An action packed episode of theBreakdown with a long form, horrible joke in the middle.

Mon, Apr 18 2011 20:00 -05:002:04:00

With special guests Tim Suddeth and Evan Naeher. This episode features no new Reporter Detective, because Jacob thought we would win the championship. They do discuss the riot, finding a new co-host and spend the entire first half hour singing songs of love and life lost. It’s a madcap episode of theBreakdown, that begs the question; Will Trista ever let rabbits eat food or will she starve them all to death for her own sick, sexual desires? You’ll have to listen to find out!

Mon, Apr 04 2011 20:00 -05:002:03:00

He plays Would You Rather? and we have a swell time.

Mon, Mar 21 2011 20:00 -05:002:06:00

With special guests Charlie Resnick and Henry “Captain Beefy” Jensen. No Reporter Detective, but a whole lot of content. We discuss HIV, beads of water, earthworms and Mercury in the first 20 minutes. From there, we hit up the news (3D PORN, WHOO) and discuss twitter. Later on in the show we discuss Jacob’s neuroses and his new student media org, Potboiler. We end the show with some celebrity Would You Rathers? and run a little over. Programming note: We’ll be missing next weeks show! #assjob

Mon, Mar 07 2011 20:00 -05:002:06:00

With special guests Cory Alexander and Tim Suddeth. We start the show with some lively Oscars commentary, then move into the news. After a lengthy and mouth watering talk about breast milk ice cream, we deb-ut Episode 5 of Reporter Detective. We play with funny voices, do the final Black History Month segment and then play our new game, “Ethnic Slang.” We end the show with a great Would You Rather? from Trista and a lightning round WYR by Tim Suddeth. This show is overwhelmingly full of content!

With special guests Timothy Douglas, Justin Lowenhagen, John Reaves and Dave Garlan. In this episode, we play Would You Rather?, discuss the news and pre-empt stand-up routines. Trista doesn’t laugh, but everyone else does. Also, a story about an abortion that makes everyone uncomfortable!

The first show of the new year starts off with a bang! A surprise visit with a great in-studio reaction by Jeannie Melcher brings back Evan Naeher (WVCW’s own Trista Dandrea). We do a little news, and then play the first episode of REPORTER DETECTIVE. Later in the show, we play an interactive version of WOULD YOU RATHER? with the audience.

Mon, Jan 24 2011 20:00 -05:002:03:00

This is a short mp3 containing a polished version of the Daytime Emmy winning 1980′s sitcom’s lost script. In this unearthed episode of Only Women Bleed Trista and her mom get a little closer.

Mon, Dec 20 2010 20:00 -05:0003:58

Featuring Evan Naeher and Justin Lowenhagen. This episode features the musical selections of Jacob’s girlfriend, so it’s a much younger sound. Think Woody Allen younger. Also, we have double news anchors and the return of You Should Already Know. We end the show with a play called “Only Women Bleed.” In the meantime, we discuss porn. Sort of.

Mon, Dec 20 2010 20:00 -05:002:03:00

The Post-Dominion Christmas Parade / “Rock Hard Santa Abs” McFadden Dance Party show. Not sure what happened during this show, all I know is that it required editing for some choice words…MUST MEAN THIS SHOW WAS QUITE THE RAGER! Also, featuring Dennis Cigal and Iron Mike Krecker. We discuss soccer, tell old stories and introduce a new segment about Samuel L. Jackson. So download this, listen in and don’t be offended so easily, Hoss.

Mon, Dec 06 2010 20:00 -05:002:01:00

We have a special edition of theBreakdown. Trista planned the whole show for us this week, but I forgot to tell her that so it should work out just fine. No rants this week, but expect them to come back as soon as you start kissing on your girlfriend (like herpes). Special Guest Evan Naeher and an undisclosed second guest, who may or may not be carbon based. We’re going to have a great time and give you bitingly sarcastic social commentary. Trista believes in an inherent goodness that exists within our society and I know we’re all soulless, vanity obsessed bad guys waiting for Jesus Seagal to whip up some respect and punch it into our throats.

Mon, Nov 29 2010 20:00 -05:002:03:00

Talking about Lady Gaga, Barbeque and Red Cod Pieces. Trista will be bringing in the news FOR ONCE. We’ve missed it! This week I may even do some rants. Plus, I totally invited some guys on for tonight, but I was pretty drunk and forgot who – I know that Grandpa Jay is coming back, after his short trip to Club Med

Mon, Nov 22 2010 20:00 -05:002:02:00

theBreakdown is back with not 2, not 3 but FOUR guests (so good I had to spell it). From The Conciliation Project we have Dr. Tawnya Pettiford-Wates (Dr. T to all your theatre people, like Trista) and Trey Hartt. They’re promoting Unequal Access: A Journey Toward HOME , which is happening this Friday at the Virginia Holocaust Museum, right here in Richmond. At 9, John McWhorter and future lover Logan Gillespie will come in studio for a lighter portion of the show.

Mon, Nov 15 2010 20:00 -05:001:47:00

Tonight we’ll be discussing the news, ranting about construction and Timothy Douglas is in the studio. As if that wasn’t keen enough, we’ve got some spiffy surprises in store! Also, my old man is coming into town before the show to help me fill out some loan stuff. He’s always got something to say, so maybe I’ll bring in a pearl of wisdom or two. You know, tonight the Steelers and the Bengals are facing off during my show. I wonder who will win; Ochocinco’s ego or the ego of the entire Pittsburgh area?

Mon, Nov 08 2010 20:00 -05:002:05:00

John McWhorter, Trish Eggerton, Jacob, and Trista discuss last week’s Student Media Halloween party, John’s new haircut, and Jacob’s trip to Kentucky.

Extra special treat for tonight – Trista got sick of my music and is playing her own. Plus more excitement we can’t mention. News, Rants, Stories and Explosions!

Mon, Oct 25 2010 20:00 -05:001:56:00

Due to some drunken revelry with my father and football the other night, my baby brother and he will not be attending the show. However, John McWhorter is still going to fill in with some news for Trista. Trista is busy making the big bucks, but will be coming in the second half of the show. We’ll probably find a guest too, but we like to keep you guessing.

Mon, Oct 18 2010 20:00 -05:00

Breasts, street racing and gluten free groceries on theBreakdown! A fun night in studio when Jacob comes in after having drank an entire pitcher of PBR in less than 40 minutes. Listen to the progression, from fun grump to the stomach ache in the last twenty minutes! Also, Iron Mike Krecker comes in and actually speaks this time, while Trish Eggerton takes to the microphone like a fish and water. Finally, John McWhorter comes in and does fan mail, this week with a very disturbing twist. News, Rants, Stories and Explosions!

Mon, Oct 11 2010 20:00 -05:002:01:00

Another episode of one of the most popular talk shows on WVCW Radio, It’s more awesomeness with Jacob, Trista and guests on theBreakdown. Featuring Jeff Early, Justin Lowenhagen and the return of Grandpa Jay, who checks us into his own home! Also, a spirited debate in a melting studio.
