I can be clever!

I’m heading to K.C. in a couple hours. I was talking to my friend, Kevin, yesterday and told him Chris (theprewitt.com) and I were going to get together and hang out in the afternoon. “Well, the K-State game’s on, so I have to watch that. It starts at 11,” is a reasonable excuse from Kevin.…

To perm or not to perm?

That is the question.My studious co-host, Justin Carson claims Chad Kroeger, of Nickelback fame, perms his hair. It’s not a slam dunk, like Mike, Greg or Peter Brady, but do we have a match?

Will there be another Full House?

What happened? The Full House Formula should’ve been a timeless recipe, but something went horribly wrong. There aren’t any shows like it anymore. Where’s a 24-year-old to find a good family sitcom these days? Here’s Danny trying to cheer up Stephanie, who’s nervous about her first day of kindergarten. And here’s D.J. dropping the classic…

Are you high?

A classic blast-from-the-past phrase. And something that you wish you could go ask complete strangers when they are acting odd. How funny that we get a high woman calling into the show while we’re doing this topic today. Take a listen, but be forewarned: this could make you pee yourself. For more good times, check…

Why You Should Envy People With Herpes

My friend Chris (feel free to check out his interesting website if you like) pointed out that the commercials for Valtrex made it look like people with herpes have far cooler lives than the rest of us: they’re hiking, riding horses through the river, getting/giving piggyback rides, chillin’ out in a hammock, flying a kite,…

Why I Hate Nick Cage Part XXXXXXVII

I have more proof that Nicholas Cage is simply horrifying. His 21 year-old wife had a kid today. The name? Kal-el Coppola Cage. Coppola is Nick’s uncle, Francis Ford Coppola, from Godfather and Godfather Part II (I pretend he didn’t have anything to do with Part III). Kal-el? At first glance you might think Kal-el…

A Poor Man’s Will Ferrell

While watching Boogie Nights, I realized John C. Reilly is a poor man’s Will Ferrell. In fact, I’m wondering if anyone has ever seen both of them in the same room at the same time. Creepy, huh?

Reheating Pizza

I got a Pizza Shuttle last night with pepperoni and cream cheese. It was delicious. But every time I microwave pizza, it’s a disaster. The crust is hot. The tip is hot. Everything in the middle is as cold as a corpse. Gross.

"Lost" Loser

What a great show. I actually lowered myself to going to a fan message board and there were rumors that Walt was talking in reverse when he magically appears in the jungle. Here’s the encounter between Shannon and Walt in the jungle. Here is just what Walt says as it appeared on the show. Here’s…

Inconvenience Fees

Wow, I’m so intelligent. Do you know how long it took me to come up with the lame title for this post? I had to pay a three dollar convenience fee to get my license plate renewed yesterday. Yeah, convenience fee. They’re really making up for loads of lost cash from laying off people at…

The Emmy Awards

Terrible. Simply awful. The ironic thing is that the Emmy honors excellence in television, yet The Emmy Awards is the worst thing on TV all year. But I always end up watching every minute. Enough with the Miniseries Emmy, already. Not only do they have the Emmy for the miniseries, but they have to honor…

A long one

If you make it through this, you deserve a slap in tbe face for wasting your time and justifying me wasting mine writing it. Tonight, I Tivo’d Survivor, and flipped between The O.C. and Primetime. I’ve only been able to figure out three things that might be happening on The O.C. 1. Julie Cooper is…

What about Nick the Leach?

Somebody had a camera and caught Jessica Simpson wasted. And apprently she wasn’t wearing her wedding ring. But we know for sure she’s cheating. Look at the evidence below. She’s doing the synchronized tongue wag with a be-jeans-jacketed co-ed.

Martha’s New Gig

HAHA! I just watched Martha Stewart’s new show, Martha. It’s like her old show, but more awkward. Go ahead, Martha. Force that smile. Look at how phony she is! I think a little bit of her soul dies every time she smiles. They started the show with her holding a dog. She can’t pull it…

Hurricane

Here you go. A Hurricane post. There. Now I’ve fulfilled my legal obligation as a “blogger” to mention the hurricane. Hope it’s been eye-opening. Okay, fine. One take: The News Networks should be in charge of FEMA. They were there before the thing even started.

Why do we have Labor Day?

From the U.S. Department of Labor Website:“Labor Day differs in every essential way from the other holidays of the year in any country,” said Samuel Gompers, founder and longtime president of the American Federation of Labor. “All other holidays are in a more or less degree connected with conflicts and battles of man’s prowess over…

A special treat for you

And I’m not talking about having two posts in one day. I have fun Mr. Rogers goodies for you to enjoy! That last sentence is one of the few times an exclamation point is called for. I watched an episode today. I want you to get a least some of the great experience I enjoyed.…

Random Thoughts

Everybody always talks about how great ice cream is. But if it disappeared off the face of the Earth, we’d get over it pretty quick. I’ve always thought a professional massage would be a nice thing to get. But I’ve always been scared by the possibility my masseuse would end up being a 400-pound woman…

Justin Carson and George Michael

Well, the guy who plays George Michael on Arrested Development, at least. Don’t even try to tell me that my co-host and this guy don’t look alike. Who’s more attractive, by the way? Trying to make Justin insecure. Give me some help, here.

The problem with Mario

I hooked up my Nintendo Entertainment System (sometimes I call it NES for short) today. Yeah, the old 8-bit. I forgot how good of a game the original Super Mario Brothers was. But there are some problems that need to be addressed. 1. I need to be able to play a one-person game with Luigi.…

Still attractive?

I got my hands on some pregnant Britney pictures for your pleasure. In a bikini. Wow. Okay, so is that grapefruit juice or a screwdriver, heavy on the vodka? And doesn’t it look like she has a little happy trail down the length of her stomach? There’s something about a pregnant woman in a bikini…

Hey, uh, you!

I ran into a guy I used to work with in Lawrence over the weekend. But it took me a while to figure it out. It was one of those things where you see somebody, and start thinking “Hmmm. Looks familiar. But from where?” Then. It happens. “Hey, Matt!” Uh oh. Not only do I…

Website Wannabees

Is there anything worse than someone who’s like “Ooooh, you should go to my website because it has all kinds of good stuff and blah, blah, blah, etc., blah”? Then, they update the thing hardly ever, and then have a radio show that keeps on telling them to go to the website even though there’s…

It’s about time

Check it out. Real audio from the show! And I don’t use exclamation points lightly. We’ll do our best, at least for a couple of weeks until we get sick of the effort, to get audio onto this site. And we have a couple of great ones for you today. This morning, we were talking…

The Demise of the Pillsbury Doughboy

Here’s what the Dougboy looked like Monday morning. Notice the wick hanging out of his mouth? Yes, I know it’s called a fuse. I call it a wick. I’m what you would call “anti-establishment.” So, we lit the wick. On live radio in celebration of July 4th. Inside, was a firework devised to destroy the…

Andy Rooney Moment

Don’t you hate it when someone never updates their website? Oh wait. I guess that’s me. Be patient with me, we’re getting ready to put our best audio on the show here at least every couple days.

Newsflash!

Schiavo Autopsy Show Massive Brain Damage No kidding. Oooh. Oooh. Wait! I’ve got a headline of my own: Stooks Toilet Shows Midnight Taco Bell Run

Colin Quinn is awful

He ruined Weekend Update. He ripped of Politically Incorrect…badly. And that wasn’t a good show in the first place. And somehow he still shows up on TV. Find me one person who can even tolerate Colin Quinn. I don’t think you can.
