Matt & Jayce

Matt and Jayce are two ex-college radio guys who became ex-professional radio guys who are now professionally guys in other professions. Their love of music and the ‘Big Idea’ of how to get radio RIGHT fuels this podcast. They dive deep into song lyrics, genres, different radio formats, and climb all over the minutiae of music! They even googled ‘minutiae’ to make sure they used it correctly.
Tune in to hear rants about the music/radio industry, be a fly on the wall for interviews with special guests to discuss college radio and the music that inspired them, laugh along with some ridiculous music games and debates, and just have a lot of long-form fun, because there is NO Program Director to tell them they are doing it wrong!
If you are a FAN of music, you will find yourself laughing along, shouting at the speakers, and having a good time!

Hey there Xers!
Matt & Jayce are back with another episode of XRadioX! This is Episode 27: The One Where Jayce Plays. Plays? Plays what? Keep reading and you'll find out.
In this installment we touch on all our regular topics. We cover what we've been up to, make sure you are expertly warned of crude content via our disclaimer, we give you a BedTalk update, talk about Jayce turning 47, talk about Jayce taking Christmas lights down (finally) and we play a guessing game.
I know what you're think. F!@k ANOTHER guessing game? We get it guys... You like to guess music things and have us play along but another one so soon after the last one? Just wait friends... We put a different twist on this one. Jayce broke out his old acoustic guitar and plays parts of some songs and Matt has to guess what he's trying to play. WHAT!?! Jayce plays guitar? He sure does and he is solidly average at it.
All this and a smidge more on this great episode of XRadioX!!!
Yes... Jayce is almost 50... I know! He sounds so young. ;)

WE'RE BACK!!! XRadioX has awoke from their fall slumber.
We came back with more lyrics to dissect and talk about. Personally I'm happy I got to make Matt think about Cake's the distance as if it was about sex. I also enjoyed being reminded that a certain sect of music fans have no idea how magnets work. I know how they work but the Mystery is better than the truth. ;)
So tune in and enjoy Matt and Jayce getting back at it.
It feels so good to be back!

In this episode, Matt and Jayce wax nostalgic about the Summertime/back to school hits that dominated radio when they were in high school. It was a while ago. Longer for Jayce. Do you remember Dino? Roxette? Nelson? We give you a brand new trapper/keeper full of mid 1990s pop culture, all in a neat podcast candy coated shell!

HEY!!! Get your Country out of my Death Metal! NO! You get your Death Metal out of my Country!!! XRadioXer's it's time for Episode 22: The One Where Song Titles Are Disgusting. To be fair the Country song titles aren't disgusting but we needed a catchy title so cut us a break.
In this episode we'll discuss, poke fun at and flat out laugh at some of these song titles. Its just Matt and Jayce riffin and having fun on this one. Be warned though... Some of these Metal song titles we bring up aren't going to be fun to explain to your kids, parents and maybe significant other so consider yourself warned. We also throw some love to our podcast friends and that's about it for this one.
This episode is pretty close to what a radio program would be with us if we actually still worked at a college radio station.
We hope you enjoy this one!

We're BACK! Hopefully you missed us terribly. Due to family schedules, bouts of COVID, and life just getting in the day, this is the first episode we have released in exactly 2 months! After all that time away, you would think this episode would be FULL TO BURSTING with heavily prepped material. Well you would be wrong.
We hit you hard with tiny random thoughts about music, our lives, pretty sure we cure COVID, and more favorites like #bedtalk, Tony Award winning David Bryan, and Sluys throws us a musical bone to chew on, metaphorically.
The important things is, we remembered how to make a podcast. So much more to come, so subscribe, like, review, be our friends!

It's a misheard lyric challenge, as we bring back our friend Jeff (The Doc of Rock) to attempt to beat Jayce in a game of "WHAT Did They Think The Lyrics Were...??!" Matt reads a WRONG lyric and the fellas try to guess what song it is. Extra points if they SING! You don't want to miss that.
Also, we recap the past 10 episodes in a way that will totally make you want to download them all immediately. You've been warned. Amazingness awaits you beyond that link click!

Hey there Xer's! We're back with another episode of the Mondegreen Game on XRadioX!
What's a Mondegreen you ask?
Have you ever heard someone sing...
"I led the pigeons, with a bag, of uranium chips from South Africa"
Or you heard someone yell...
"Excuse me, while I kiss this guy!"
Have you? If you have, that's a Mondegreen where someone thinks the lyrics are one thing when they are actually something else.
Jayce and our friend Jeff both try and guess the songs that Matt has come up with and let me tell you one of these players really stinks at this game.
So check us out for fun, laughter and ridiculous lyrics that will leave you scratching your head wondering how did anyone thing that was a song? Also how did they actually guess the song?
We also talk about what we've been listening to and we include another boring installment of Bed Talk with Jayce and Matt where Jayce talks about sleeping. Do these guys know how to party or what!
So tune in and enjoy a hour or so of fun with your friends on XRadioX!
Check us out and rate us on Goodpods, Stitcher, Spotify, Apple or where ever else you listen to podcasts.

Merry Xmas XRadioXers! Its time for Episode 24: The One Where We Hate On Xmas
Matt and I spend an hour giggling and sh!ting on Xmas stuff. Thats it. Thats what we do. We sing a scientifically bad version of the worst Xmas song EVER, Baby It's cold Outside. I truly hate that song. I can't believe people like it.
Somehow Dr. Suess is compared to Trent Reznor? Blame Matt for that one.
Did Scott Wieland owe his record company an album or was it just a parole thing when he made an Xmas standards album? We talk the Star Wars Xmas Album, the Snoop Dogg Xmas album, and the Xmas clock is back. Its one of my favorite decorations in this house.
There are comments about my age equivalency in shoes, I give away some Xmas presents I bought, Matt recites Oi to The World, Matt didn't know who did Mistress For Christmas and we just have a good old fun conversation about kitchy, crappy and hackey Xmas stuff. I even talk a little about my only real rebel moment while working at WSGW in Saginaw.
I had fun, Matt had fun and we hope you have fun listening. Happy Christmas, Haunakah, Kwanza, Saturnalia, Boxing Day and have a wonderful New Year! We appreciate all the listeners... We really, really do.

It's Episode 29 and we're at it again with the lyrics. What is it with us and lyrics? Are we dense, maybe? Are we next level when it comes to analyzing lyrical content and intent, probably not. Are we two guys who listen to way too much music and take the lyrics WAY to seriously, BINGO!
So sit back and enjoy our deep dive breakdowns of these great songs: Maria Maria, Don't Bring Me Down, Kokomo, Watermelon Sugar, Africa, Astronaut In The Ocean, Pour Some Sugar On Me and Don't Touch Me there. We even chaptered it out so you can jump to the song you'd like to hear us discuss. Click on the time to jump to the discussion or click on the song title to hear the song. I can't believe I have to say that in 2022 but here we are...

HAPPY NEW YEAR XRADIOX FANS!!!
Let’s get this year started with a question. Have you ever wondered if two people who have really never listened to Country music BUT have both actually worked at a Country station could program a Classic Country station?
You haven’t? That’s understandable. You probably have your priorities straight and are a very successful person in real life. You probably also are fit, enjoy the company of others, have a prosperous 401k, have a favorite wine and are just a well rounded person.
You have!?! Then this episode is for you!!! Matt and Jayce think about this stuff all the time and are convinced they could musically fix ANY and ALL music stations out there in radio land and this month we fix your Classic Country station.
Here’s how this goes, Matt went out and got the playlists from some of the top Classic Country station PD’s like Westwood One and Elmer Aho. Jayce said I can do you one better and created his own.
There’s music talk, a few jokes and two friends who are CONVINCED they can fix your station if you’d only just ask.
Sit down, tune in and enjoy our latest episode of XRadioX.
Catch us online on Instagram, X (fka Twitter), HERE or email us at [email protected].
Check out the playlists for the show here - Westwood One - Elmer Aho - Jayce’s Classic Country Radio
P.S. Jayce does have a 401k and he is working on it but he does not have a favorite wine and refuses to work on that. ;)
