The three main hosts of the show ~~are~~were Brian Berris, Bryan Corpolongo, and "Evil" Greg Arvegian.

The hosts ~~tackle~~tackled news subjects either found by themselves or submitted to them by the listeners via the show's forums, but the discussions usually ~~devolve~~devolved into silly conversations, relating to the topic or not. One minute, the hosts could be talking about a homeless Russian man being stabbed to death in the woods by three kids, and the next minute, they could be talking about [[Darkwing Duck]]. The show has often been described as "like listening to three of your drunk friends talking to each other". Of course, this makes more sense if your friends like [[Dead Baby Comedy\|talking about gruesome web videos and how religion is silly.]] ~~The~~At one time the show ~~can~~could be watched live on Friday evenings [https://web.archive.org/web/20130123143022/http://www.stickam.com/wmradio on Stickam.] However, the last podcast was released in January 2015, and the entire website abruptly disappeared at some point around the beginning of May 2015. A [[Wayback Machine]] archive of their website can be [https://web.archive.org/web/20150318002305/http://wrecklessmediaradio.com/ found here.] Unfortunately, it does not appear the podcasts themselves were archived along with the site. And any [[YouTube]] links in the trope list below go to short clips instead of entire casts. ~~Their website, with the full archive of shows, can be [http://www.wrecklessmediaradio.com found here.]~~ {{tropelist}} ~~=== This podcast uses the following tropes: ===~~ * [[Accidental Public Confession]]: [http://youtu.be/BIZJTX_AUqE Brandon, about a tranny.] * [[All Jews Are Cheapskates]]: Evil Greg is Jewish. This stereotype has been addressed. Line 34 ⟶ 36: * [[Ax Crazy]]: Brian. He once tried to start a knife fight in the studio. He lit a sapling on fire to celebrate Earth Day, which set off his fire alarm. He has a set of tiers which you may find yourself on if you in any way wrong him, which will make you the subject of progressively more gruesome revenge fantasies. * [[Badass Beard]]: Brian has one usually. Also had a "depression beard". * [[Berserk Button]]: Whenever someone tries to prove the existence of God, whenever a caller won't talk, and whenever the equipment fails. Also, don't look at Brian the wrong way from the other side of a bar. You'll instantly be on [[In -Joke\|Tier Three.]] * [[Beverage Spill]]: Brian accidentally spilled alcohol onto the keyboard of his MacBook Pro. In the middle of a Yogi Bear impression, no less. {{quote\| ''"Hey Boo-Boo, gimmie that pic-a-nic ba-AAAAHHHHH!"''}} * [[Bits of Me Keep Passing Out]]: Brian often has panic attacks which leads to him experiencing tunnel vision during the show. This comes off more funny than serious. Perhaps the worst examples are when he nearly passed out after smoking up the studio from burning a sapling on Earth Day. * [[Black Comedy]]: Can you get darker than black? Line 76 ⟶ 78: ** [[Team Pet]]: Dexter. * [[Funny Background Event]]: Greg once walked into the studio wearing a penguin costume that Brandon had brought over. It takes a while before the hosts notice. {{quote\| '''Brandon''': Holy shit, it's a penguin!}} * [[Funny Foreigner]]: Listener from Lithuania, Diis. * [[Gym Class Hell]]: The "go for the butt" bit. Line 85 ⟶ 87: * [[Implied Death Threat]]: ...Actually, a lot of the time, they're just straight-up death threats. * [[Incredibly Lame Pun]] {{quote\| '''Brian''': I'm gonna sue Flay!}} * [[Insane Troll Logic]]: Brian is very good at coming up with this. The other hosts are, too... just to a lesser degree. * [[Insult Misfire]]: This happens on occasion. Usually from Greg or Brandon. * [[It Runs on Nonsensoleum]]: Again, Brian can come up with extremely silly explanations for his logic. * [[It's the Best Whatever Ever!\|It's the Best Song Ever!]]: "I'm Afraid of Americans" by David Bowie and Trent Reznor. {{quote\| '''Brian''': If you wanna have a party, forget the chips and dip, ya got David Bowie and Trent Reznor... you don't even need... you get earbuds and you start playing this and it just sounds like a cricket until you get next to it and then you can party!}} * [[I Will Tear Your Arms Off]]: Most of Brian's threats are along these lines, sometimes even more gruesome. This one was possibly used word-for-word. * [[Jewish Complaining]]: As stated before, Greg is a Jew. You do the math. Line 98 ⟶ 100: * [[Keet]]: Greg. He's been very loud and obnoxious as of late. [http://youtu.be/vcNlBCstZ1M His laughter alone is infamous.] * [[Little Jimmy]]: Or, in this case, Little Johnny. He's got a thing or two to learn about wrestling. {{quote\| '''Bryan''': Okay, Johnny. I got a secret. Now, I'm only tellin' you this because you got the talent, kid. You got the talent to be champ. His arms may move... his legs may move... the anus never moves, Johnny. Dominate the anus, Johnny!}} * [[Made From Real Girl Scouts]]: Brian Berris Baby Wine. [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]], really. {{quote\| '''Bryan''': [[Jingle\|Brian Berris Baby Wine... aged to perfection!]]}} * [[Mean Character, Nice Actor]]: Brian may sound like he hates a lot of his fans sometimes, but he really does love them. * [[Mystery Box]]: Played straight in Episode 125. Brian filled it with white lighters to scare Bryan Corpolongo. Line 106 ⟶ 108: * [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: Mikatarov. * [[Never Accepted in His Hometown]]: The boys have done some pretty crazy shit in their day. They were troublemakers. The show's outro explains this perfectly. {{quote\| '''Outro''': Greg from the show once had a thing to confess: one day he tried on his mom's wedding dress. It didn't fit because Greg was too fat; started to rip all the way in the back. But, Nancy, his mom, doesn't seem to be mad. Growing up there would have made any kid bad.}} * [[Only Sane Man]]: Brenden, but even that might be stretching it. * [[Parody Religion]]: The story of Bathery Jones. He's a black guy who lives in Los Angeles with a sweet NYC tattoo, and his nemesis is Fluttershot, a white guy from New York City with a sweet LA tattoo. * [[Perma -Stubble]]: Brian seems to have this. * [[Pervert Dad]]: Pretty much any "dad" character the hosts come up with. Most famously, [http://youtu.be/icu-fD2-910 the Apple Jacks Dad.] * [[Preemptive "Shut Up"]]: Brian has done this to one or two callers at some point, simply for laughs.
