The Hystik and B Show
The Hystik and B Show is a popular internet podcast, done in an audio format. The show consists of Hystik (Michael Tucker), B (Brant Anderson), and Clay Jones. It is a bi monthly show that focus's on exciting news stories, stunts, and many other segments.

Early Days
In the early days Michael and Brant, who worked together, came up with an idea for a morning radio style podcast based off of the inspiration of their favorite radio show The Free Beer and Hotwings Show. The first name they chose was The Choade Show, only to find out that it was taken. Michael decided to use the name Hystik as reference to his past hockey career, and in particular to one incident where he hit someone over the head with a stick inciting a fight. Brant went with his nickname of B which everyone always called him anyway. The Hystik and B Show was born.

The first show was done with a mixer, two mics, and a computer in the basement of Brant's house in Hendersonville, TN. A friend of both Michael and Brant sat in but had no speaking role, his name was Clay Jones.

The very next show Clay had a mic and has been a permanent fixure on the show ever since, adding many stories, and factoids.

Segments
The show is researched and written two weeks in advance, and although all of the personalities contribute to the content, most of the writing is done by Hystik. B is the technical side of the show doing all of the webpage, mixing, and uploading needs. Hystik and Clay both maintain the myspace page and handle the advertising.

Stunts
The Hystik and B Show have done several stunts and bets, some of which are located via video on the shows webpage or on youtube. Some of the things that have been done include getting shot by airsoft rifles, Ric Flair chop challenge, and being shocked by a taser gun. During American Idol season the guys chose from a hat their choice for a winner with the losers having to perform a song that the Idol participate had done that season. Clay was the first man out and had to sing Yesterday by the Beatles, and the following week B lost and had to sing Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond.
