Okay, kids. We're doing something different this week. Abbie and T.E. are both out of town, and I'm too drunk to remember Ryan's phone number.So now, you have NO CHOICE but to watch a few videos of my favorite band of all time. Much better than Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers, by the way (zing, T.E.!)Anyhoo, without further doodoo, here's a taste of Ron and Russell Mael, aka Sparks:"This Town Ain't Big Enough" from 1974's Kimono My House."Beat the Clock" from the groundbreaking 1979 album Number One In Heaven. Produced by Giorgio Moroder."Tips for Teens" from 1981's Whomp That Sucker. Produced by Mack (of Queen fame)."I Predict" from 1982's Angst in My Pants. Directed by David Lynch."When Do I Get to Sing My Way" from 1994's Gratuitous Sax and Senseless Violins."The Rhythm Thief" from 2002's astounding Li'l Beethoven."Dick Around" from 2006's face-smash-in-ing Hello Young Lovers.I'm gonna catch so much hell for this, so enjoy it, Peckers!--Xian

It's the "Fear of Commitment" Episode! It's about being crazy, dig? As expected, Ryan, Christian, and Abbey veer way off-script and indulge in cautionary tales from their misspent youth. Wait--what's that? No T.E.? That's right, Peckers. It's the first and (so far) only truly T.E.-free episode. A kinder, gentler CFR? Or the ravings of three insane people without their caretaker to guide them? Pickle.This one's 75 plus minutes, and 28 megs. Plus, this one's in the old-fashioned .mp3 format. 'Cuz we're crazy like that.Listen to voices: Check out our website, our forum, our wiki, our cafepress swag, our myspace page, and download ringtones from myxer.com!

Attention all mechapeckers!  It's been two years to the day since we last engaged in a self-congratulatory clip show, and frankly that is unacceptable.  Remember way back, when grains were kept whole?  When Uncle Ryan was around, and the idea of live broadcasts still sounded like a good idea?It's the "Least Worst of CFR, Volume 3," wherein we meet the penis pump judge, learn what life would be like without the cow, and finally uncover the secrets of cult control.  All best bits from Episodes 30-44 for your listening pleasure.This episode will occupy 77 minutes of brain space, and maybe, just maybe, teach you how to love.  The song is "Robots" by Flight of the Conchords.Check out our website, forum, wiki, and swag store, not to mention our brand spanking new free ringtones from Myxer.com.

On July 7, 2007, Xian and Abbey tied the knot.  T.E. busted out his Swiss Army knife and sliced through it, which was good, since the knot was in Abbey's puppet hair.  Also, Ryan later serenaded us, Finn officiated, Reuben showed up for the free food and booze, and Craig looked on in horror.  It's the Jackass Wedding Spectacular '07 video, now available as an .mp4 for play on your iPod or portable media player of your choice.

Wise fwom yo gwave!The Jackasses have returned from hibernation for an all-new 2008 season.

It's the "It's the End of the World As We Know It (And CFR Feels Fine)" episode! Officially the last of the 1.0 series, Ryan rejoins the Jackasses for our not-really-final hurrah. We might as well have coined this one, "The Only Sure Things In Life," episode, as the majority of our stories center around our good friends Death and Taxes. Listen, and ask yourself: what are Abbey, Ryan, and T.E. so pissed off about? And what is Christian (always) smoking? The episode is 70 minutes long.Slated for the summer is a series of non-canonical stop-gap installments to prevent you Peckers from enduring heavy withdrawal symptoms. There are sure to be some surprises. Season 4, and the official launch of CFR 2.0, is slated for September 1, 2007. TTFN.

It's the "I Saw a Leprechaun Up In a Tree!" episode. Ostensibly all about things Irish and/or drunk (in belated honor of St. Patrick's Day), the three Jackasses spend way more time waxing ludicrous about go-nowhere personal tales of love, love lost, and talking cars.As that 8-bit shopkeeper in the Nintendo game from years past once urged, "Buy something, will ya?" at our Cafe Press shop.
