Episode 6 - Boost Boogie Says "Protect Ya Neck"

Despite the fact that Al Boost ate shit on his bike last week, he will still be DJ'ing his first set ever at Europa this Saturday. He promises that he will not let the broken collarbone slow him down, which is quite commendable. Of course, it sucks when your good friend hurts himself real bad. What doesn't suck is when they start handing out painkillers like they were Skittles. This week, Tony Conquerrah takes advantage of the free meds, loosens up, and busts some freestyles with honorary co-host, Mark Spark. Disclaimer: I know my rhymes suck. That's why I DJ... - Conquerrah

Episode 5 - Giuliani's Still a Jerk (And Bloomberg's Not Too Cool Either)

In Episode 5, The Rescue Team wax nostalgic about a time when yuppies were still scared of the Lower East Side - when punk rockers and drug abusers were the only white people you would find on Clinton Street.

Episode 4 - A Night in the Pokey

Hey man - it happens. We all have the occasional run-in with the law. Most of the time, you get a summons - but not if you have a couple warrants. That's right - RTR's very own Al Boost got caught out there ridin' dirty. He got locked in the tombs for the weekend - and lived to tell the tale. This week, Al and Coney Island Joe trade stories about being thrown in jail for some dumb shit. Also on the show, Tony Conquerrah's exclusive interview with LA rapper Big Bennett Bionic about 911 conspiracies, his independent release The Invention Fund, and his hilarious Youtube rap vids. If you are still not familiar with the internet sensation known as Eli Porter's Iron Mic rap battle, check out the video below - then check out BBB's response.
