1 | ->'''Knox:''' Hi, I'm Knox.\ |
2 | '''Jason:''' And I'm Jason Steele. Welcome to [=KnoxKastRadio=]. |

4 | [=KnoxKastRadio=] was an audio podcast hosted by Knox (of ''WebAnimation/KlayWorld'' fame) and Jason Steele (creator of ''WebAnimation/CharlieTheUnicorn'') running 75 episodes from June '06 to December '09 (though there was a gap of about two years between the release of the penultimate and ultimate episodes). |
5 | |
6 | Each episode featured the main hosts and occasionally a guest or two; such guests included members of Knox's family and friends, Jason's brother and cousin, and Jason's film-school buddies (including frequent guest Matt Books). |

8 | It was succeeded by the new podcast ''[=ChaosPony=]''. |

10 | !!This podcast provides examples of: |
11 | * TheAce: Jason, most of the time. Occasionally switched to Matt when he was there. |
12 | * AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Knox particularly had this going. |
13 | * BerserkButton: Matt hates it when people call him "Matt Brooks", since his actual name is "Matt '''Books'''". Knox, of course, [[NeverLiveItDown brings this up whenever he gets the chance.]] Matt replies by calling him "Brenford" rather then "Benfer", but Knox doesn't seem to care. |
14 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: They both fight off [[ItMakesSenseInContext an army of socks]] in the Socktopia arc. |
15 | * BizarroEpisode: Most of the "in-character full-episode skit" episodes are this, more in the "never mentioned again" aspect. |
16 | ** Episode 50 involves the guys waking up in a shoe storage facility with a recording device from which they must escape. It is never given any significant mention again. |
17 | ** Episodes 59-61, the Socktopia Trilogy, involve a sock-based world. It likewise goes unmentioned afterward. |
18 | ** Episode 17 involves the discovery of an alien craft and the loss of Jason's arm. No mention afterward. |
19 | ** Episode 10 is mentioned enough afterward to not be this. |
20 | *** However, each of these is related to the other in a sort of series by a recurring plot element, namely [[spoiler: the fact that the Twisty Treat ice cream franchise is evil]]. It sort of strings together into a big running BLAM Arc that randomly pops up. |
21 | * ButtMonkey: Knox in most episodes, but Jason fills this role when he isn't, such as in episode 40 where the latter was trapped in a submarine in the bottom of the ocean. [[spoiler: Actually, it was an Oscar Meyer Weiner mobile in the bottom of a kid's swimming pool, but Jason got facts mixed up due to being down there for so long.]] |
22 | * CatchPhrase: "Movie review time!" and "Hello, everyone" for Jason. |
23 | * CatsAreMean: Knox's opinion. Jason advises him to eat the cat. [[DudeNotFunny Knox is not pleased.]] |
24 | * CharacterAlignment: Knox and Jason are both frequently ChaoticGood, but they (especially Knox) have some moments of ChaoticNeutral. |
25 | ** Matt is almost always ChaoticNeutral. [[spoiler: In episode 30, however, he turns out to be NeutralEvil, at least for that episode.]] |
26 | * CharacterDevelopment: In the first few episodes, Knox and Jason acted pretty much the same, with Knox maybe being a bit saner. As time goes on, they developed into the alternating RedOniBlueOni that fans remember them as. |
27 | * ChekhovsGun: In the first episode of the Socktopia arc, Knox tries to take pictures of the socks using his phone camera, but it gives them seizures. [[spoiler: He later uses this as a battle strategy when fighting the socks.]] |
28 | * ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: A lot of guests only appear once or twice, and then never again. |
29 | * CloudCuckooLander: Knox usually, but Jason gets this as well, particularly in the Socktopia arc. |
30 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: Any skits they do where they don't play themselves usually have this for their characters. |
31 | * {{Jerkass}}: Knox in episode 40. Despite Jason being trapped in the bottom of the ocean and calling him for help, he does nothing but sit around and play ''VideoGame/MarioParty'' with his girlfriend. |
32 | * LetsGetDangerous: In the Socktopia arc. |
33 | * OddCouple: This and most of its derivatives were played with by the guys' natural personalities. Knox was generally less focused on the show (he had a track record of forgetting to have a movie to review for each episode and usually pulled out a quick halfassed review) and more of a goofball, while Jason managed to fill roles on both sides of Knox; he was usually more attentive to the show, but could easily go into a weirdness that left Knox bewildered. |
34 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Knox's actual name is Robert Benfer, but pretty much everyone calls him Knox. |
