About this listen

 Hey, I’m Elija Kirby. After spending years playing in garage bands and podcasting, I decided to start a new show where I talk with people about their first car. A podcast all about the vehicle that started it all: the first ride that got us on the road and set the course for the adventures that followed. Each episode, I sit down with friends, fellow musicians, and guests from all walks of life to talk about their first car. From a beat-up hand-me-down to a shiny new dream car, I want to hear the stories, the memories, and the lessons that came with that first set of wheels. That first car is never just a car.... it’s a rite of passage, a symbol of freedom, and usually, a little bit of chaos.Copyright 2026 All Rights Reserved

    Tony Bjerke stops by the studio and kicks me out the host chair to interview me about my first car an 88 pos Chevy Beretta. Tony and I trade seats for this episode (not really, I didnt want him farting in my chair) and reflect on my history in the BisMan music scene. A few burps, suds, and chuckles. Look i didn't want to do this but it's out there now. Mostly it was just Tony and I BSing and getting nostalgic about our favorite shows, share stories, and tooting our own horns. Here's a rough edit. I'll be taking a short break and picking back up in early 2026. In the meantime, I'll be collecting more stories to share!

After returning to Minneapolis to work in radio, Chaz remained an active force in the hip-hop community. He also discusses the creation and release of his latest album The Troma Project: 50 Years of Reel Fan-Toxic Hip-Hop. Chaz hosts at MPR: 89.3 The Current.

    I sit down with my good friend Brooke Svanes a model, actress, and former drummer for the Minneapolis rock band Sick of Sarah. We catch up on life since the old days, reminiscing about our time playing in North Dakota toghether with bands like Disrespectfully Yours, The Pink Slips, and Vertigo. Brooke shares her history of getting into music and transitioning to model/actress. We also touch on Brooke's story of her 'would be' first car, a 1989 Toyota Camry, and how driving was never her thing. Plus, we make a pact to stay BFFs for life.
