Junction City is looking at banning cell phone use for drivers. We had a couple of callers angry at the idea. They were left wondering, “what’s next?” Zack Morris’ phone: the number one cause of cell-related accidents My co-host was sick this morning, so I was flying solo. More importantly, we were supposed to see [...]

One of our callers warned us about Steve Guttenberg and Co. coming back for another Police Academy. Is that a Bobcat Goldthwait in your pants or are you happy to see me? By the way, IMDB omits Bobcat’s name from the credits for the new movie? He has to be in it, otherwise it will [...]

The most shocking thing from last night’s American Idol was at the very end of the show. Out of nowhere, they pop Hasselhoff on the screen. This is the first and only time they showed him the entire show. Taylor Hicks was finishing his victory song, Hasselhoff is on screen, clapping, shaking his head back [...]

We were talking about twisted diets this morning. One caller verified the effects of a cigarette diet. Another talked about the saran wrap diet. Rosie and Calista For our allergy suffers, it’s the Stooks in the Morning Pollen Report. For fun with words, it’s “Words with Chris Casey.” Finally, a product for people who miss [...]

The Handshake. What a mess. Awkward limp wrists, noodle arms, bone-crushing grips and spreading disease. I had an especially filthy handshake experience this weekend at a wedding reception. We tried to figure out if you can get out of having to shake someone’s hand. Spreading the bird flu and other diseases for hundreds of years [...]

I’m only doing serious business in there once a day, so don’t think I’m some constant toilet sitter. Two weeks ago, I’m on the toilet and my door gets buzzed. Then knocked. Then I hear “maintenance.” A complete rush of blood to the head as I hear the door get unlocked and then snapped against [...]

Photoshop Adam sent me some new photos to warn me about abusing drugs. “Stooks, Remember those old commercials where they said “This is your brain, this is your brain on drugs”? And then some skanky looking chic would trash a kitchen or throw eggs at an old lady. Anyway I think someone should bring them [...]

We do a segment on the show every day called “The Stooksoscope.” It’s like a horoscope, but with my name inserted and some of the stars advice slightly altered. Here’s today’s for Taurus: The fear is far more intimidating than the task itself. Tackle this job, and you’ll find that it’s easier than you would’ve [...]

Cox Communications has a new marketing campaign. Something like “don’t go outside, stay inside and watch more Cox programming. We were talking about how stupid that is, and encouraged our listeners to come up with something decent. We couldn’t air one of our callers, who created a character “Harry,” a marketing guy at Cox. However, [...]
