Episode 140: Toby Jeg (Red Scare Industries)

The PTID guys are always thrilled to welcome their old friend Heather Wheaton for her annual visit. Between the incessant ball-breaking and friendly banter, they manage to run through some of the top (international, of course) pop punk releases of 2025.  With songs from The Riptides, Cleavers, Burger Weekends, Teenage Bottlerocket, East End Redemption, Ratbones, Lone Wolf, Horror Section, The Hallingtons, and The Rip Taylors. 

Two fake doctors and two real A-holes have a massive meeting of the minds! Dr. strange gives the details of his plan to replace Punk Rock Bowling with an epic three day show in Pomona. Dr. Disc gives the PTID guys their first top 10  list of 2025. With songs from Dead Milkmen, The Network, Jokers Republic, FACS, Lazy Cowgirls, The Dickies, and Home Front. 

Tom makes the trip around the big lake and the PTID guys go see The Saints at The Metro. The next day they sit around Neil's dinner table for a rare face to face talk. They discuss The Saints' gig and whatever other nonsense comes to mind. With songs from Antagonizers ATL, Spider, Poison Boys, Fast Kids, Workin’ Stiffs, and The Saints.

After years of talking about it, the PTID guys finally host one of their most requested guests, The Bollweevils. They are thrilled to be joined by singer Dr. Daryl Wilson and guitarist Ken Weevil. They talk about the early days of the band, the breakup and reunion, and what they're up to these days. It's a fun, wide ranging conversation, with music old and new from The Bollweevils. 

Tom goes on vacation AGAIN. He spends plenty of time on the beach, but also manages to squeeze in some record shopping. He and Neil also discuss the cancellation of Punk Rock Bowling for 2026, the Dr. Strange 37th anniversary show and whatever else was on their twisted minds. Features an eclectic bunch of songs from Attak, Raging Nathans, Kill Your Idols, Mau Maus, AntiSocial, Vitamin X, Deadmans Shadow, and Two Man Advantage. 

The PTID guys are thrilled to talk to one of the true Godfathers of New York Hardcore, Agnostic Front singer Roger Miret. The wide ranging conversation gets into the early days in the Lower East Side, and the way the band operates today. There's talk about the new record, as well as fellow H/C legends like Vinnie Stigma and Harley Flanagan. With new and old songs from Agnostic Front, and Roger Miret and the Disasters. 

Way back in 1995, Rhythm Collision's Clobberer was one of Tom's favorite albums. Three decades later he and Neil catch up with the recently reunited band, and they're happy as a clam. They talk about the band's past, present and future, and all the bumps and bruises along the way. With songs by Rhythm Collision.  

Tom and Neil drag their old bones off the couch to go to a bunch of gigs. Municipal Waste, Cannibal Corpse, The Darkness, Morrissey, Fear, The Oxys, Zero Boys, Terror and more get scrutinized PTID style. How early did Neil go home? How many PBRs did Tom drink? With songs from Oxymorons, Fear, Crisis Actor, Wet Denim, Zero Boys and Bitter Truth.

In this installment of PTID, Dr. Trauma and Dr. Liverpool are joined by a couple of the the brightest (filthiest?) minds in punk, Dr. Strange and Dr. Disk. Their NC-17 discussion touches on a number of topics, mostly revolving around proctology and Riot Fest 2025. Listen at your own peril! With songs from Suburban Lawns, Screeching Weasel, Naked Raygun, Feral Tact, D-Day, and XTC. 

Tom returned to Riot fest with Dr. Disk from Goldmine Magazine after taking an 11 year break. What bands were great, and who was disappointing? Who were the best and worst interviews? Who did GWAR sodomize with a chainsaw? And most importantly, did he talk Neil into giving Riot Fest another try? With songs from The Effigies, Zero Boys, Screeching Weasel, Camper Van Beethoven, Didjits, and Naked Raygun.
