Episode 020: The Jerkoffs w/ Jay Blanda
The Jerkoffs were a straight-up punk band that consisted of Jay, Doug, and multiple Dave’s. They had a stint on Umbilical Records and were always the dudes who showed up to every show they played with the intent on just having a great time. This would also include drinking and the occasional Inside Out cover with David Patino on the mic. If you never saw that then I’m sorry that we can’t go back in time.
I reached out to Jay Blanda, aka Jay JErkoff and asked if he’d like to talk about summers past. He said sure thing. Let me have a bourbon breakfast and let’s talk.
In this interview we discuss:
- My voice audition for his cartoon that went nowhere
- Who actually started NJPP
- His stint being in a band with Josh and Gabe from Humble
- His scuffle with a hippie
- Ben from Random Task playing drums for a show
- Brian Granik
- Their parents lobbying for them to change their name
- My conversation with Josh Right Turn Eddie about selling out
- Nick and Noras Infinite Playlist having the Jerkoffs in the movie
- Coney Island High
- Some questions from Robert J Heiner from Humble Beginnings
- Josh Humble’s voice messages to Brian Granik
- His annual Burning Man visits
- And a ton more
