Born in Missoula, Montana Ward grew up to amount to very little.  Some might even say he is of no consequence at all.  Ward spent his formative years primarily masturbating and playing Madden Football.  Upon graduation from high school in 1998, he headed out west to pursue his career ambitions.  Unbeknownst to Ward, ambition took, well, ambition, an attribute he squandered away drinking and partying during his college years (NOW AVAILABLE ON DVD).  In an effort to further distance himself from higher learning, Ward pursued an aspiring career in food service management and reluctantly excelled for seven plus years until coming to the stark realization that he despises human contact and went on to work at an alcohol distribution center.   Somewhere amidst his stupor, he met and married his beautiful wife Nicole in July 2003 and had two boyz in July 2006 and May 2008.  In April of 2008 he began the Basement Boyz Podcast from, ironically enough, his basement and has been doing it since, having  80+ episodes in the can.  Short of his children, the Basement Boyz Podcast is his shining accomplishment.  Ward has humbly accepted his station in life and asks no more.  For he is a man complete…

Garleek is the name, although it’s just a nickname. I grew up on the rough and mean streets of the Clarkston Heights from the time I was born. I lived in the same house until I was 16, then we moved to Prospect Ave. in Lewiston and I have been an Idahoan ever since. I grew up a very typical church kid, I was home schooled, went to private school (go Shiloh Eagles!), didn’t party, etc, etc… I grew up a very shelterd child, which I believe helped shape the skeptical, sarcastic, cynical jokester I am today.  I took an interest in the marching band in high school. After that I thought performing was pretty cool. Next I wanted to entertain on a more direct level. I did a few plays including Grease, but thought the drama kids were a bit odd. So, I took up dance in the 11th grade. I got on with a crew thru LCSC that put on a very cool show every spring called Danceworks. That’s when I really fell in love with performing and entertaining an audience. I saw an ad in the newspaper that the local radio station was hiring new air talent. I applied and bugged the guy for six months before getting hired. I got on the (now no more) Morning Mayhem show on (then) Goodtimes 105 and had a blast for almost 2 years doing that job. Now I enjoy making my friends laugh (and telling long and involved stories that are meant to entertain, but are probably more suitable for sleeping aide). I have an apprehensive interest in perusing comedy, so even if I only entertain you morons, that’s more morons than I get to entertain now, so my mission is complete… for now.
