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.

Survivor Casting Call

Are you the next Richard Hatch? I hope not. But if you want to get on Survivor, there’s a casting call in Kansas City at Nebraska Furniture Mart this Saturday. It starts at 10. Click here to get the full “skinny” (I hate that word but that’s the first thing that popped in my head).

Get ‘er done

Why was this phrase ever popular? I’ve heard it more since the move to Manhattan than anything else. That’s probably the biggest con I’ve found since my arrival. I guess that’s pretty good.

What’s that beep?

There’s some kind of random beeping sound in my apartment. What’s interesting, is that it only beeps once every half hour or so. It might be a smoke alarm wanting new batteries. But how am I supposed to find the beeping if it happens so rarely? Should I just go stare at the smoke alarm…

Steal this and I’ll sue

Everyone knows about the Ice Cream Social. But how about an Ice Cream Anti-Social? You would stay quiet, face the wall, and have ice cream roll off your chin while a tear streams down your cheek.

Stooks gets yelled at

I’ve been cursed at more than once because of something we’ve talked about on the show. None were more justified than this guy’s thoughts on us discussing American Idol this morning. Take a listen. It’s worth it.

Wrap your mouth around this meat

Check this out: Paris Hilton has a new video. And you can even see it on TV! It’s for Hardees/Carl’s Jr. and the Parent Television Council isn’t very happy. You can find out why by viewing it here.

To mace or not to mace

Can guys carry this? I went into a bar in Aggieville and saw a guy with this on his keychain. I laughed. But then I heard that the other day a guy got jumped by two other guys in Aggieville. I might start carrying a little mace with me. But this is the kind of…

Days strikes back!

After many emails and posts to this site, Days of Our Lives made its official return to the show this morning. In honor of this great event, I’ve put together a montage of the latest controversy: Bo falling victim to some kind of gas that caused him to think a different woman (Billie Reed) was…

Barhopping

Is anyone else annoyed with organized “t-shirt” barhopping? This is where a frat, sorority or other organization makes up a t-shirt and goes from bar to bar. They arrive in their groups of 20, destroy the atmosphere of the bar, and then leave. Kindof like the arrival of Oliver on The Brady Bunch, but multiplied…
