About The SDR Show

The S*x, Dr*gs & Rock N Roll Show – is everything you want in a podcast show but were afraid to ask (especially if your wife was in the room at the time). Two average guys – who live somewhat larger than the average lives. One’s a comedian, one’s a radio/TV host. Together they bring you The SDR Show. A no-apologies, not politically correct, not for the faint of heart show that somehow blends the classic energy of a morning radio show into the new era of digital entertainment, and manages to separate itself from the literally 100s of 1000s of other shows out there.

SDR is a mainly off-the-cuff, hanging with friends type show – that can be pretty funny, pretty interesting, and pretty crazy at times. It’s a labor of love and we hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoy doing it. The response has truly blown us away – each week the numbers keep going up, and we can’t wait to see what’s happening 3 months from now, or 3 years from now!

In the first 30 days, The SDR Show got over 6,000 downloads, hit #6 in the New & Noteworthy section, as well as #57 in comedy. Now a year later the show has done the UN-IMAGINABLE topping the iTunes comedy charts, that’s right #1 in comedy in March of 2015. Now the boys are pretty happy to see their show in the top 40 consistently, and are steadily getting over 100,000 listens a month! #GetAddicted
