Yesterday my buddy sent me the coolest video ever. Here is the back story: Budweiser Canada surprised 2 beer league teams in Port Credit, Ontario by filling the rink with fans for a random night game. They told the teams they were making a documentary on rec hockey (which is why they thought the cameras were there), and during the 2nd period all of these fans poured into the arena and acted like these guys were their favorite pro teams. It's a great watch, and it's the Super Bowl commercial in Canada, hopefully in the US too!
If you have ever played in a beer league for any sport...you probably got goose bumps just like me...I watched it at least 5 times yesterday. The scene with the guy sitting on the ice is probably the coolest moment…just soaking it in, fighting back tears…I get it. I shared this with many of my hockey friends, and their feelings about it were exactly the same…"I wish that would've been us!" I have been playing beer league hockey for the last couple of years, and it's something that you just can't explain the "awesomeness" of it to someone if they haven't done it as well. It's not even about the game, the wins, the losses…it's about that time in the locker room. The time spent joking before the game, and the taste of that cold beer the minute you get off the ice (or the court, field, whatever it may be), and the conversations and chirping that follow. Why else would we play games at 10 pm on a week night(or even later) and still get up early in the morning the next day to work. We love the sport, and for many of us...we never got to experience playing at a high level (juniors, semi-pro, or hell…even pro). The wins do feel good, and the losses…well, they are pretty much forgotten by the time you crack open the second beer. Props to Budweiser for doing this for these guys. I can only imagine all of them are still on the high of that night. I spent some time reading the comments on You Tube…many tried saying it was fake, but I just don't believe that…some of the comments nailed the emotion of watching that perfectly:
What a fantastic gift for all those players--ice hockey is something in your blood that is in you for life, even if you don't have the talent for the big time. I would have loved to have been one of those players.
This was awesome! And NO it was not fake. Must have been a real night to remember for those players. I think that guy summed it up pretty well saying how he had never played professional hockey but that was always how he imagined it would feel and it felt great...good for them!
I know one of the Generals as well! He's still very overwhelmed about this whole thing! A huge thanks to Bud Canada for showing the awesome spirit that we Canadians have...and for the amazing memories they made for these hockey players!
this isn't fake and the teams didn't know .My dad plays for the Generals and they had no idea this was happening to them. My dad scored the winning goal after 15 minutes of real OT. I think all the guys rock and Dad!! we are really proud of you
I would literally sob like a baby if that happened during my hockey game. My team and my league deserve it so much and it would be a dream come true to play in front of a full house like that. What a cool moment!
This Sunday is the Super Bowl, and all week the Giants and the Patriots have been in Indianapolis getting ready for the game, as well as fielding questions from all types of media outlets. During Eli Manning's chat with the media, a woman from "Access Hollywood" asked Eli who he thinks should play him if a movie was ever made about him…Eli said he would like to have James Van Der Beek play him in a movie…what about you, who would you like to play you in a movie and why? Also…pick a member of our show…who should play that member? Here are the texts:

Today's Video Blog features a gift from our friends at Subway!
BJ once again has cursed the Seattle Seahawks...he is almost like the John Madden for our team. However, with John…if you are on the cover of his video game, you get injured…with BJ…if he gets your jersey, you will be gone. In the past, BJ has owned a jersey with these players names on the back of the jersey: Hasselbeck, Houshmandzadeh, Curry, Tatupu, Dilfer, Alexander, and soon after…these players are gone. BJ finally hit his breaking point and vowed to no longer buy a player jersey…so he went with the #12 Fan jersey for the 12th Man. Seems like a safe pick right? Wrong! Today we were talking about how that the Hawks play on changing up their jersey's next season…it's all part of the new partnership the NFL has with NIKE (goodbye Reebok), and the plan is to change it up. So BJ's curse continues! His best bet is to go vintage…unless Marty McFly gets involved…BJ can't curse history! We wound up getting some texts about BJ & his curse:
Everytime bj getd a jerey, something happens! Proof positive is the change of jersey after he got the 12th man! Whoever he hates, he should buy their jersey
If every guy leaves after you get his jersey please get a Tavaris Jackdon jersey.
BJ!!! DO NOT BUY A M. Lynch jersey!!!!!!
Please don't buy a Lynch jersey bj
Let us know what jersey BJ buys. I don't want to get one that I'm going to have to hang up from a player leaving.
Looking at these…I vote to keep the jersey the way it is. I'm not feeling the use of lime green any more than how it is used now.
Last week… a guy in Brooklyn posted in the "For sale/wanted" section of Craigslist with the title, "Please teach me about football." Apparently, the guy's girlfriend once dated a college football player, so he lied to impress his girlfriend, and said he was a college football player too. Only he wasn't, and he knows NOTHING about football. Haha what a dummy!!!! This is where it gets good…now he's got to go with her to a Super Bowl party…at her ex's apartment. So he's offering $500 for someone to tutor him about football every evening between now and the Super Bowl. The ad has some really funny lines like, "Her ex played 'linebacker.' Should I know a lot about playing 'linebacker' too? Do quarterbacks normally know about that? . . . It might help for me to learn something from a 'linebacker' if you know one. He's also willing to throw in an extra $100 if his tutor can give him some good comments to say during the game.
So a guy lied and said that he played football in college to his girlfriend in order to impress her…When have you lied about something to impress someone? Here are the texts we received:
I've lied about how religious I was. Went overboard on the church going and read the bible. Was not worth it.
i lied to this guy about being really good at pool. i had never even played before, when we got to the bar i ended up kicking his ass :] so it all worked out!
Stp said he was the ceo of petco, and on the board of the humane society.
I lied to a girl and told her I was the drummer of a band, in reality I just started playing...she called my bluff quickly, Irony is I am the drummer in a band now ha
I slipped fell hit my head on the counter and gave mysekf a black eye.... Told the office girls I got jumped the next day and wound up getting sone sympathy sex
I told a girl I played AAA baseball worked till I met her father who managed the team I said I played for
I told my boyfriend I wasn't a virgin when I was (that was at 16)

I told a chick i had my pilots license to get down her pants. 3 months later she rented a plane so i could take her for a flight to join the mile high club.
I once had to pretend to be a religious Christian just to hook up with a girl. It lasted for a month. It I want to thank Jesus for getting laid
We received this email…
BJ
The other morning I got a kick out of hearing how you had to watch Sex In The City and Steve watches Grey's Anatomy just so that you can watch shows that you guys like. I do the exact same thing…my wife and I call it the "TV Trade Off". I have been watching Desperate Housewives for years now, all because I want to watch It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. Sadly I have become a fan of her stupid show! I believe that if you watch TV with your significant other, there is likely a compromise you each watch a show you don't like to get to watch one that you do. I thought it would be funny what other people sit through as part of their TV Trade Off.
Gary
So what is your TV Trade Off? Complete this sentence: I have to watch ________ to get to watch _______. Here are the texts we received:
Suffering through Dr. Phil and Teen Mom so I can watch Supernatural and Mythbusters.
Lately I've had to watch the office or cajun pawn stars to watch greys anatomy.

Today's Video Blog is a re-run from last year! Yes…it's a lazy day in the video blog department. Since today is the day Punxsutawney Phil decides if it's going to be a long or short winter (he saw his shadow, so six more weeks of winter). So a year ago, we did this video blog, so in a true Groundhog Day spirit…lets repeat it:
I love the week leading up to the Super Bowl, because the media week is full of random people going to interview the players…people that wouldn't typically show up to any other game to do an interview…from Jimmy Kimmel sending our buds, the American Idol rejects, Jonathan Jayne & Kenneth Swale to chat with players in the past to strange drag queen looking people showing up as well. This year, things have started off on a great note! There was this hot "reporter" from Televisa Deportes, Marisol Gonzalez, who went around in a tight red mini dress "interviewing" players, and making the players wear a sombrero! Hahahahahahaha!!! Look at this picture, that is hilarious!!!!!! Check it out:
Here she is hard at work talking to some of the Patriots!
So who is this Marisol woman? I have no idea…but do yourself a favor and do an image search online…and you will find great pix like this:
I got this text, and it cracked me up:
Hey STP, I was at the Tbirds game last night and Rod Stewart's son Liam was playing for the Spokane Chiefs. As he was skating off the ice, I said "Hey Maggie May!" He was pissed off haha
The city of Fort Worth, Texas is considering an ordinance where people could be fined for causing more than 10 minutes of noise at night. So if someone's dog won't stop barking for 10 minutes . . . if they don't shut off their car alarm . . . or if they are listening to loud music . . . they could be hit with a fine. There's no word on how big the fines might be. The Fort Worth City Council will decide on this by March.
There is a town in Texas that wants to make it illegal for your dog to bark for more than 10 minutes at a certain decibel…Have you ever called the cops on your neighbors or had them call the cops on you? Here are some texts we got:
Was gutting a deer in my garage. Stepped outside for a smoke covered in blood. Neighbors freaked. From: Aaron the cowboy
Had the cops called on a Friday night at 6:30pm for the music being too loud. The officer was on our side. So we go to have the music loud the rest of the night with no problems
neighbor call the cops on me do to my girlfriend screaming so loud during some fun time in the bed they thought I was beating her when the cops just use a pillow next time to scream into
When I was 4, my parents called the cops on our neighbors. My mom watched the woman run out of house, man in chase. The man then hit the woman in the head. With a hammer. The claw end. Then he drug her back inside.
A neighbor called the cops because my band was practicing too loud. Got a disturbing the peace ticket, which was overturned in court because we were never given a warning by the cop.
I had the cops called on me and my girl while we were having action. The neighbors thought i was killing her.
My nighbor caled the cops on me reporting I had an illegal carnival at my place.... al because I rented an infatible bounce house for my daughter birthday
My husband was playing the drums in the garage this weekend at 3 am after a long night at a bar neighbors called the cops funny part was he was naked! When he opened the door a sword fell off the wall and they thought he was grabbing a weapon lol they slammed him against the wall and asked him if he was on drugs lmao
Me and wife had the cops called us for having a water fight in our house. The cops thought it was domestic violence. Mike from silverdale
Speaking of dogs…here is another fine video of our new pup Lulu, in this clip…she is annoying Lucy as we are brushing our teeth getting ready for bed:
According to a report in the "New York Times", the new trend for men with longer hair is to put their hair up IN A BUN. It's being called a "Man Bun." Apparently, guys with long hair were looking for a way to keep it out of their face…besides getting a haircut. They didn't want to use hairnets or wear ponytails like, quote, " Steven Seagal, hippie uncles, and the like." So the bun was an answer. If you want to learn how to tie a man bun, the "New York Times" even goes into specific details about how to properly twist, wrap, and secure your hair. I think this is beyond ridiculous, BJ was even more annoyed by this trend…he lost his mind on this one! The texts came in from the Man Bun, or as I call it, The Mun enthusiasts:
Hey b.j. I wear a bun in my hair the chicks lov it!
Gavin Rossdale from Bush rocks the man bun. Still not ok even with his band
Think tough like vikings, samurai, barbarians, sumo wrestlers. Tough me long hair and buns. I shave my head but I would rock the bun!.... Big Mike from Graham
I have shoulder length hair because I'm a metal head and need to headband at shows. I'm also a welder so I keep my hair in a bun so it doesn't go up in flames
My coworker does the bun i make fun of him every day
Man bun? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! PANSIES From: Aaron the cowboy
Whatever bj! I have long flowing blond hair and have to bun it for work! And my hair rules! It's 3 feet long! And I'm in a band! Suck it bj!
So…there is a new trend for guys to put their hair in a bun…based on this…whether it be fashion, or anything else…what is one trend or fad that you just don't get? Here are some of the texts we got:
I dont get bronies the guys who watch my little pony wtf is that about
Those stupid skinny jeans... Quit wearing your sisters pants.... Love Chadd
I HATE the saggy pants on guys showing underwear. How has a style that started in prison to advertise sex stuck around so long?
Checking in every where u go on facebook, told my girlfriend next time we get it on, I'm going to check in on FB to her, LIKE D
Men wearing spandex its not the 80s and it wasn't coo then
Long socks with flip flops or sandals that old guys like bj wear
I hate those ugg boots. Not cute ladies.
Why do people tatoo themselves with stars? How boring?
The kardashian fad. My wife watches it and it makes me want to rip out my eyes with a spork.
Uggs, poket dogs, skinny jeans & BIG sun glasses
Kid shoes with wheels on the bottom. I got you what you always wanted: back problems before age 30. Happy birthday! - the DV
Planking... Wtf is that all about...
Kids w/ mohawks
Those "shoes" that look like your barefoot.
Today's video blog starts off with me freaking Vicky out, and then we get to see what our intern Peter does during the show! Plus we have our friends at Tony's Tried & True Tattoo in Port Orchard hanging with us!
I always enjoy reading stories about home invasions were the burglar picked the wrong home to break into. Yesterday, a man tried breaking into a guys apartment in Federal Way, only to encounter a 20 year old dude that has 7 years of boxing experience…and that guys roommate, his brother, a proud owner of a gun. So idiot breaks into the home…and the resident, Colton Vaughn woke up to get some water…only to see a masked guy attacking him…so he whooped his ass! Colton yelled for his brother, Kirk, and Kirk came out with a gun…and that's when the crook tried running away towards the sliding glass doors! Colton saw this and grabbed the robber and helped him leave the apartment by tossing him off the balcony…oh, did I mention they live on the 3rd floor? Yup, the guy fell 30 feet to the ground…but shockingly…he got up and ran away. Thankfully this ended with the homeowners OK, but that has to be the worst feeling of violation…to see someone in your home, or walk into your place after it was burglarized. We got a couple texts of people sharing their stories of when a criminal picked the wrong place to break into:
My parents were part of a home invasion. Dad woke up and best the crap out of him. NAKED...Chris in enumclaw
A teen broke into my uncles house, and got ripped apart by his golden retriever
I stopped a burglary two weeks ago of my neighbors apartment with a 6 inch Santoku knife. I didn't have to stab him, he left on his own. Eric
This morning was chalk full of awesome stories…here are a couple other ones that I enjoyed…
This sailor who is based in Bangor WA on the Naval Base was over at a buddy's apartment, getting drunk…he left and then entered an apartment that he thought was his friends, only it was his neighbors. For some reason their apt was unlocked, so he went in there…urinated on the floor (wow!), and then crawled into bed…with an 80 year old woman!!!!!! She freaked out, and yelled at him…asking why he was doing, to which he said, "passing out". Priceless. The cops didn't arrest him as they said it was a stupid mistake, and the sailor has offered to clean up the mess and has apologized!
My third favorite story of the day happened last month in Portland, but the criminal was sentenced yesterday to 45 days in jail. What did he do? This 33 year old guy was at a Toys R' Us, and started assaulting people with…wait for it…Light Sabers! Yes, he was using the "force" on people…that is, until the cops showed up. This is the best part…the cops shot a taser at him, and he deflected it with a light saber!!!! A true jedi…to quote Yoda, "Hmmmmm….dipsh**, you are!."
Back in January of 2007, 39-year-old Ruben P. Salazar of Texas got a random email. It was a work email intended for a 43-year-old woman named Rachel P. Salazar, who lived in Bangkok, Thailand. Ruben figured out the typo in the email address and forwarded it to Rachel. She wrote him back to thank him, and he wrote her back. That led to an email chain where they started getting to know each other. And finally, after eight months of daily emails, they decided to meet. Rachel flew 8,000 miles from Thailand to Texas to meet Ruben. She didn't tell her family, because she figured they'd think she was foolish. But within eight days, they knew this was "right," and Ruben PROPOSED to her. They're now happily married.
A marriage started because of an accidental email…based on this, what was the strangest way that you met a significant other? Here are the texts we received:
I met my wife on my space. She sent me a message and she was a good looking blonde so i almost just deleted it thinking it was just a porn spam message lol Max

We were married for 15 of the best years of my life. My wife passed away on the 13th of this month (Jan 2012) due to brain injury caused by a heart attack. We were with each other all the time, 24 hrs a day. Only 5 fights in 15 years. We loved each other more than I have ever loved anyone. Jim B. Bow, WA.

Speaking of my dog…my other pup, Lulu…has a new favorite toy…a napkin! Enjoy!!!
31-year-old Eugene Foster of Arizona went through the cell phone of his girlfriend's teenage daughter, and you seriously won't believe what this "Eugenius" did! Eugene saw that his girlfriend's daughter had a naked photo of herself on her phone, and wanted to show her how dangerous that could be. So to teach her a lesson…he sent the naked photo to 40 of her high school classmates. When her school found out, they stepped in…on HER side: They sent a letter home asking students to delete the photo instead of spreading it around, and to help, quote, "in minimizing the damage done by one adult's poor choices." Eugene ended up getting arrested for exploitation of a minor, and could face federal child pornography charges.
I love how the school said it was a "Poor Choice" on his part…CLASSIC!
What about you… when did you do something that, in retrospect, was a "poor choice"? Here are some texts we got:
My wife caught me blow drying my penis one night and asked me what I was doing,... I told her I was heating up her dinner,.... Poor choice of words,...
good for him im totally on his side that dumb ass kid had it coming
I let my husband sleep with my friends. Now i have no husband and no friends..

Today's Video blog features some vintage KISW T-Shirts that Toppy found on EBAY!
Yet another glaring example why many of the people involved with those Occupy movements are idiots…Babylonia Aivaz is the most recent example. During the protests she apparently fell in "love" with a 107 year old building on 10th and Union in Capitol Hill. This building was to be demolished, and doesn't want to see it torn down to make room for a brand-new apartment building…so what did she do? Yesterday she did what any mentally unstable person would do…she MARRIED it!!! Yes, she married the building. She was interviewed by KING 5, and said: "I hope that America wakes up and realizes that gentrification is a serious issue that affects poor people, especially people of color, and we really need to stand up and do something about what's happening in our neighborhoods all over the country" Oh jeez lady…shut up! How about this poor building had no say in marrying this "activist" but luckily "he" won't be stuck with her for long, as demolition is already underway. I love the texts we got about this story:
Does she know the buildings cheating on her people are going in and out of it all the time
I hear that building is Stacked!
Based on the story of this woman that married a building in Capitol Hill…what is something that is not living that you would marry? What is that one thing that you can't live without…to the point that you would, quote, "Marry" it? Here are the texts we received:
I'd marry my xbox
Starwars, hayden from Monroe
I am a developer, gamer, and a computer builder. I would definitely marry my computer.
I would marry the b j shea morning experience !
Xbox 360 and a bong! So I'm a Mormon, we can marry more than one bitch! Go Romney! Jason.

Jason Elia is a TV writer in Nashville, Tennessee…and he may just have the worst girlfriend EVER. Jason was planning to propose to his girlfriend, and bought a pair of Super Bowl tickets so he could pop the question at this Sunday's big game. Unfortunately, he got diagnosed with bladder cancer . . . and when she found out, supposedly she dumped him. Then she found out about his plan for the proposal, and had second thoughts. She still doesn't want him back…but she'd like the tickets. Her logic is that he bought them for her in the first place, so she should still get to go to the game…while he battles cancer! Jason had other ideas. He's auctioning off the tickets on Twitter to the person who gets him the most followers. On Sunday, a webcam model who offered his followers a free five-minute show was in the lead.
Based on this story, finish this sentence… "I realized that I was dating the worst person EVER when I found out ________." Here are the texts we received:
I bought him a 91 fatboy and he was suppose 2 b spending the wkend w/son and i caught him in bed w/some 19 yr old junkie..
Worst husband ever when he offered to take my friends virginity as a favor to her because he wanted her first time to be good

When... I found out he was stealing money out of our daughters piggy bank. She was only 14 months old at the time.
Realized i was dating the worst when i found out that she was the "entertainment" at a biker party.

Today's Video blog is another installment of Jeetz On The Streets! Over the weekend it was Mariners Fan Fest at Safeco Field where fans had a chance to meet past and present Mariners. Our very own Jeetz was there, here is Jeetz on the Streets!
When I learned about this celebrity, I have to say...this really bummed me out, as I was a big fan of his as a kid. Robert Hegyes, who played Juan Epstein on the classic '70s TV series "Welcome Back Kotter", died yesterday of an apparent heart attack. He was only 60 years old. Robert's brother said he had suffered a heart attack in the last few years, and was not in good health. Epstein was a member of the Sweathogs, and easily my favorite of the group. Everything he did on that show was hilarious!!!! This is a cool tidbit of info about Robert, he was actually a substitute teacher in real life before he took the role of Epstein, so he was also able to act as a sort of technical advisor on the show. Epstein was known for bringing in forged notes excusing him from class that were, quote, "Signed Epstein's mother." This led to a funny line that made it's way on the internet yesterday:
Dear Mr. Kotter: Epstein will not be returning to class. He died of a heart attack today. Signed, Epstein's Mom
Here is a great clip of Epstein and the gang first meeting Mr. Kot-terrrrr.
This could be the strangest story of the day…Metallica's bassist could've been…HULK HOGAN! What? Is it possible that james, kirk, and Lars would have trained, said their prayers, and ate their vitamins as Hulk-A-Mania ran wild on YOU! Could the 24 inch pythons rock the bass on for Whom The Bess Tolls? According to the Hulkster…yes! Hulk says, "I used to be a session musician before I was a wrestler. I played bass guitar. I was big pals with Lars Ulrich, and he asked me if I wanted to play bass with Metallica in their early days but it didn't work out." It's unclear what Hulk meant by "early" days, and as of yet…Metallica hasn't commented…probably because it's not true! Although…here is Hogan, playing bass in the video for his classic hit, which I am sure would've made for a great thrash metal anthem, "Real American":
This morning BJ brought up our buddy Jonathan Jayne, he was the dude that was goofed on a few years ago on American Idol, and it turned out that he has a mild form of autism. Even though the AI judges goofed on him, we learned that all he ever wanted to do was record a version of "God Bless America", so I got a few buddies together -- including Thrill from the Men's Room -- and we went to Orbit Studios to record a fun version of the song with JJ! Here is the video of the song:
I got an email from Linda over at the Columbia Winery, which was the place my wife & I got married. I swear by this place as a venue to get married at…it was an amazing place to get hitched!!!! She emailed me because they are having their Weddings In Woodinville event this Sunday. You can check out www.weddingsinwoodinville.com for more info.
According to data from SeatGeek, Super Bowl XLVI is the most expensive sporting event that company has ever tracked. Average ticket prices for this year's Super Bowl, held next Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, were at $3,127. The most expensive ticket listing for this year's game is a $608,475 listing for a full level suite at Lucas Oil Stadium. Three separate field level suites are available, each over $600,000 in asking price.
So this led to a topic…what is the most you have paid for an event? What was it for? Also...what is one event that you would be willing to pay a ridiculous amount of money for? Here are the texts we received:
World cup
A Temple of The Dog Reunion tour, I would pay a stupid amount of $$ for it.
I paid $5000 for two tix and plane tix to Detroit for Seahawks vs Steelers
Crue meet and greets at carnival if sins I paid 450.00 worth every penny and would do it again to have front row
I paid 400 dollars for one seat 8 rows from the ring to wrestlemania 19 and it was awesome. dan in Marysville
I would consider selling my soul if the mariners made it to game 7 in the world series.
I spent $600 for two new kids on the block concert tickets in atlanta, GA a few years ago. anna
I once paid two hot chicks I worked with $20 each to make out for 30 seconds.
Totally worth it.
$60 buck for an Asian bath house in San Francisco! Lol
Paid $300 for a pair of tix to a Canucks game.
I paid $300 for 4 tickets to nascar in las vegas. It included an rv spot where the pre race party was. Amazing experience. I highly recommed it and im not even a nascar fan. Kyle â Olympia
Led zeppelin in London. It was a risk of $300 for a pair of codes off eBay to buy the tickets. I got the codes, said a prayer and went for it. Got the tickets a few weeks later. For $200 each . So total was $350 a tick. Wasn't huge but I got led out! Omg so awesome! Liquor and whorez.
Today's Video Blog features Mono Nick's potato chips...BJ tried them and thought they were too hot!
This is my favorite story of the day…Pat Sajak and Vanna White have done "Wheel of Fortune" drunk. In fact, it sounds like it may have happened a bunch back in the day. During an appearance on ESPN'S "Dan Le Batard is Highly Questionable", Pat said that he and Vanna would hit up a local Mexican restaurant between tapings, "They served great margaritas, so Vanna and I would go and have two, or three or six…and then come [back] and do the last shows, and have trouble recognizing the alphabet. They're really good tapes to get a hold of." Here is the Video…the part about doing "Wheel of Fortune" hammered starts at the 1:05 mark (keep watching the rest though, as Papi asks one of the funniest questions ever towards the end):
"What does Vanna smell like?" Hahaha Awesome!
Speaking of TV…I saw this today, and I agree with Charlie Sheen. Even though Charlie has said that Ashton Kutcher has done a good job replacing him on "Two and a Half Men", but he still thinks the show should end after this season. Charlie said, "I've done what [Ashton's] done. I've replaced [Michael J. Fox on 'Spin City']. It's so [effing] hard, you can't believe it. It's all you're thinking about, and you're surrounded by these ghosts. So, hats off to him for doing the best job that he can." Charlie thinks "Two and a Half Men" should be put to rest mostly because creator Chuck Lorre is no longer focusing on it enough to make it good: "I don't think that [Ashton's] working with the best writing because Chuck is doing too many shows. They've lost their point of view, man…[Chuck] spent so much time trying to insult me through the character that he forgot how to write good jokes. [The cast] deserves better material. They deserve what I had for the first five years. I don't want to harp on them. Let the clueless stay clueless. I was a puppet there for ratings. But, whatever…I don't care. I've moved on, and whatever they're doing there is none of my business." I have to say I agree with Charlie…I was late to the 2 & A Half Men party, but my wife and I watch the re-runs, and the new episodes, and I have to say the old ones blow the new stuff out of the water.
Last week over 400,000 homes and businesses lost power, but thanks to the round the clock work by Utility crews, it's down to about about 3,000 remaining outages. According to a Puget Sound Energy spokesman, they hope to have power restored to all by early today. BJ got a Tweet from Nathan T. with a great topic idea: Given the recent power outages what is one thing you learned you can live without and one thing you must have? Here are some of the texts:
Eventually, not being able to make DINNER for a few days got old.
Oh yeah, I gotta have a vaccuum!
I couldn't live without peanut butter on Steve's face. I couldn't see anything when the power was out. Lucy
I can live without tv and cable. I cannot live without running water.

Johnny Depp is America's favorite actor for the second year in a row, according to the annual Harris Poll. Also for the second year, Denzel Washington finished at #2, although this time he shares the spot with Clint Eastwood. Here's the Top 10:
1. Johnny Depp
2. (tie) Denzel Washington and Clint Eastwood
4. Tom Hanks
5. John Wayne (yes, he's been dead for over 32 years!)
6. George Clooney
7. Sandra Bullock
8. Harrison Ford
9. Will Smith
10. Adam Sandler
Men chose Eastwood as their favorite . . . while women went with Depp.
According to an annual Harris Poll…Johnny Depp is still your favorite actor? What about you…who is your favorite actor, also… who do you hate? Here are the texts we got:
kevin smith
Tom hanks is my fav of all time
Fave actor- Edward Norton, least fave- Keanu Reeves (outside of his work in the matrix)
I love Will smith but hate Jim Carey. HEATHER IN FIFE
Hate, Leo Dicaprio! Love Woody Harelson. Very underrated actor! Everything he does is good! Jason
Dear Adam Sandler.....please stop it, just....stop it.
Hate fuckin affleck, love statham!
Fav: Johnny Depp hands down. Least Fav: Ben Stiller, he just keeps doing the same Damn movies with new titles.
Worst: Sara "horse-face" Jessica Parker Best (one of): Leo deCaprio
Tom Hanks is the one I have the most respect for. He does a lot of work off the stage and, especially, with the military. I can not stand Angelina Jolie anymore. She is all over s****y grocery store magazines, she does the same badass tough girl roles and, I'm sorry, but how many children are you going to have? Yes, you can afford it, but how much time CAN you spend with each?
Sly Stallone his characters make him seem like a meat head but in actuallity he is a good actor and writer.
Easy. Kurt russell. Bad ass. Tnanks joe in gig harbor
Love mark wahlberg, hate jennifer aniston. Way to much hype.- Brad in Kent
I love edward norton, hes such an amazing actor and all of his roles are very beliveable and well executed, norton in rounders was fantastic. On the other side anything with dwyane the rock johnson makes me want to gouge out my eyeballs and eat them so i never have to see his atrocius acting.
Also, I hate Adam Sandler. He needs to be hit by a train. - the DV
Today's video blog is all about Mono-Nick & The Rev...and the conversations they have during the show when the microphones are off.
This morning I saw a report that says many general managers think that the Hawks, the 49'ers, and the Cardinals are potential places for Peyton Manning to end up. Peyton's days in Indy are most likely done as they gutted out their front office and coach, and they have the #1 draft pick which will surely be Andrew Luck. BJ wondered if this was a good idea…I say HELL YES! Get Peyton Hawks…that would be huge. Yes, he is towards the tail end of his career, and there are injury issues…but c'mon…it's Peyton Manning!!!!! Look, I don't hate Tavaris…but realistically he is not the future of that position for the Hawks, and we won't be getting one of the top QB's in the draft that can be plugged in the position unless we trade up…so let's find someone that could study under Peyton for the next couple of years. C'mon Paul Allen…open up that wallet, and let one of the greats lead a young hungry team next season. The O Line was looking great towards the end of the season…give Peyton the time Tavaris was getting, and Sidney Rice will have a career year! Plus…think of all the great local commercials:
Chaz Bono recently revealed that he's saving up for a PENIS!!! The surgery will probably cost him between $25,000 and $45,000. Here is the crazy part…her mom offered to buy the Johnson! Chaz's mother CHER offered to pay for the surgery, but he didn't want her money. Sources say that after Chaz broke up with his girlfriend Jennifer, he and Cher had a huge fight. Basically, Cher was telling Chaz that Jennifer was no good for him, and never loved him in the first place, and it snowballed from there. So Cher thought a new penis would be a nice olive branch to Chaz…but he was too mad at her to accept. A friend says, "Chaz sent word through a close friend that he does not want his mother's handout, and will earn the money himself. Cher is heartbroken."
Chaz Bono Turned down Cher's offer to buy him a penis...based on this...finish this statement: "I can't believe my parent bought me, or tried to buy me, _______." Here are some of the texts we got:
My MOMbrought me back thong underwear from the London underground that says Mind the Gap

Back Disneyland was established in 1955, WALT DISNEY banned his employees from having BEARDS, because he didn't want them to look like carnies. That "No Beard" policy has been in place ever since. For 57 years…UNTIL NOW. Disney has announced that for the first time ever, park employees are now allowed to grow beards. A spokeswoman said they went over the guidelines and felt, quote, "an update was appropriate at this time." This is the third change Disney has made to their theme park dress code in the past dozen years. In 2000, they lifted a ban on mustaches, and two years ago, they started allowing women to wear skirts without pantyhose, and sleeveless tops.
There are still things that involve your appearance that are banned…for instance: The company disallows things like visible tattoos or tongue piercings on its cast members. Mustaches have to be fully grown in and well maintained, and they can't extend over the upper lip. When it comes to hair styles, dyeing, bleaching or coloring is banned, the rules state, quote, "If the hair color is changed, it must be natural looking and well-maintained." Ladies have to keep the nail polish neutral, and nails cannot grow beyond a quarter of an inch past the fingertip.
Disney has lifted the beard ban, but they still have some strange rules for their employees…based on this, whether it be your current job, or a past job…what is the dumbest rule that you had to follow? Here are the texts we got:
I worked at disneyworld in college in the late 90s. One rule was that no hair in your head could be longer than 2 inches
Evidently there was a rule that you couldn't have sex at work... I was caught and immediately terminated...
I worked at a a fast food place in arizona and my manager was such a douche he made every employee shave everyday and iron your uniform, the dude was anal
As a paramedic in the 90's we were not allowed to shave 12 hours before our shift to avoid open wounds to expose to AIDS virus! Scruff was rampant!
I work at a warehouse…You cant wear shorts in the summer. Gets atleast 95 in this beotch. Nick from Everett
At a past job they used to make me eat peanut butter every day. But thankfully they replaced me with a little furball name Lulu! signed Lucy and South Hill
Had to wear pure black shoes working parking lot security. Enforced to the point a supervisor came out to color in a logo on my boots with magic mark.
Worked for a local septic and drain cleaning company and they still have a no cellphone policy. We worked from Canada to Oregon and if caught with a cellphone you were terminated. Dumb ass policy
The dumbest rule was when I worked at a department store, you had to have a bathroom buddy. And at a packing place you had a set bathroom time.
Tyler from spanaway. The dumbest rule I had to follow was my sideburns had to be even with the top of the ear or the middle of the ear. Nowhere in between.
I was a concrete worker and they.made us wear colared shirts because they "didn't want us to look like they didn't get under paid"
Today's Video Blog features a gift from the WWE...a box of Fruity Pebbles in honor of John Cena!!!
Big day yesterday for our state…I am really glad to see this. I'm sure you saw many people talking about this yesterday…I saw many Facebook status updates that said "Today I couldn't be prouder of our state" or something to that extent. What am I talking about? Well…SeaTac airport was honored for on-time performance! How awesome is that? Ok…that is true, but that's not the big story…we are one step closer to legalizing gay marriage. Honestly, and my trip up on this soap box will be quick, but it's about damn time. How stupid is it that we live in a country where all of us pound our chest in how great it is to live in a free country…yet, there are people that think 2 people that are in love should not be "free" to be married. My only question…whose last name will they take? In a marriage with a man and woman, the woman takes the man's last name…and I would like to see the same tradition happen with gay marriage. I've come up with 2 very practical (sarcasm) ways: For men…it's a joust…or a good old fashioned thumb war. For the ladies…the lady with the shorter hair keeps her last name. Bam, done.
So the Boston Bruins made a trip to the White House yesterday afternoon to celebrate last season's Stanley Cup championship. However, their goalie…Tim Thomas, was absent. The playoff MVP, released a statement on Facebook regarding his absence:
"I believe the Federal government has grown out of control, threatening the Rights, Liberties, and Property of the People.
This is being done at the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial level. This is in direct opposition to the Constitution and the Founding Fathers vision for the Federal government.
Because I believe this, today I exercised my right as a Free Citizen, and did not visit the White House. This was not about politics or party, as in my opinion both parties are responsible for the situation we are in as a country. This was about a choice I had to make as an INDIVIDUAL.
This is the only public statement I will be making on this topic. TT"
Bruins president Cam Neely made a statement on Thomas' absence, saying, "We are disappointed that Tim chose not to join us, and his views certainly do not reflect those of the Jacobs family or the Bruins organization. This will be the last public comment from the Bruins organization on this subject."
This stirred up a lot of "ESS" on sports and news channels…I have to say, I spent a lot of time thinking about this yesterday and I was fascinated by how polarizing this became with people. My opinion wavered quite a bit, it's a tough one to be fully on one side or the other...as both sides do have logical arguments on why this was wrong/right. My initial reaction was that Tim is being a douche, and using his celebrity to spew political crap...but then the more I read about it and the more I thought about it, the guy does seem to care about where our country is going....and just as we all wave the freedom flag for other topics, the same could be applied to this...what he did took huge testicles, and props to him for standing by his convictions. My biggest issue was what he wrote at the end: "This is the only public statement I will be making on this topic" to that I say "Shut Up Tim." You took to a public forum to say why you won't attend; you should be willing to answer to what you said. I get that they are in the middle of a season and he probably doesn't want to be distracted, but then he shouldn't have said it in the first place. If I was him, I would've said, "Hey…I won't be there due to my beliefs, and so that I don't distract from the season we are in the middle of, I will not elaborate on this. After the season, I will be more than happy to talk about why, I hope you respect my decision."
After Tim made his statement on Facebook, his page blew up with comments from those that read it:
Barry: just another reason you will go down as a Boston legend!
Cedric: You're an embarrassment to hockey and professional sports!
Josh: I do not like most sports, especially televised sports... however, i just read about this, violently yelled "GO TEAM" at my monitor and slammed my fist upon my computer desk repeatedly while chugging a beer.
Jill: am not a sports (of any kind) fan, would rather watch paint dry. I am now, however, a Tim Thomas fan. Way to represent.
Matt: Classless and selfish move Tim, have an ounce of respect for your team, for your fans, for your ownership, and for the Office of The President. Shame on you
Tommy: I'm a Habs fan, and you just did the unthinkable: a Bruin is my favorite player now. Thank you for standing up for liberty and truth.
Jeff: You put yourself ahead of the team and your fans Mr. Thomas. Completely selfish moves.
Mike: Taking a stand for your beliefs is a very noble act. I'm not a hockey fan but I am now a Tim Thomas fan.
Lance: On Monday, Tim Thomas put himself ahead of his team. He embarrassed his teammates & the city of Boston. Period.
Leo: I will always be proud to be an American and when the leader of the nation invites you to the White House you go. You are right, it's not about politics or party affiliation but about a d-bag who wants attention.
Amy: I've just become a hockey fan.
That is what was said on Tim's Facebook, but what about you? Do you applaud Tim for doing this, or does this upset you? Why? Here are some of the texts we got:
100% agree with TT!!!! Way to go!
Damn straight! Good job Tim
He deserves a lot of props for standing up for what he believes in. Way to go TT.
there needs to be more tim's in america.
I agree with him, and respect his decision, the American people need to stand up more often.
Thumbs up to Tim!
Hell f-ing yeah11 major props tov him!
Tim Thomas is my all time favorite athlete, bruins my favorite team, I'm voting for Obama, and I support his voice and choice.
Glad he stuck to his morals and said no thanks! I tried to do the same with Clinton, but was ordered to as a young Marine.
The decision to not attend is admirable, maybe this movement (Occupy, etcy) would gain some credibility and leadership if this type of thing was more common
As a Canucklehead, i hate 'TT', but you can't fault a person for standing up for what they believe. Suck it Bruins, Go Canucks!
The dude is allowed to have an opinion. Right or wrong its his opinion and no one should hate on him for it. Nick from spanaway
How can you not love this man? For years we've been talking about how ridiculous it all is, and finally someone gets the opportunity throw it right in their face, under fire the whole time? Mad props, this guy is ballsy. - the DV
Total douche. . And unpatriotic as hell. . .and the poor. . Poor republicans are being picked on. . BS! it wasnt politics. . Just goodwill. . Man up and dont be a little bitch
Good for tim! Americans need to take back individual liberties. I'm proud of that guy for standing up for himself.
This is turning into a rather politically based blog…ok, not really, but lets move away from that. Here is another fun video of my pup Lulu…here she is teething and using my hand to make it hurt less.
Ok…lets talk about pro-choice or pro-life! Ok…I'm kidding!!!!
Last October, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement…which is like their version of the…paid 15 employees to get hammered at work. AWESOME! They were worried they were going to lose funding to buy a type of breathalyzer called the Intoxilyzer 8000…it had a reputation of being wildly inaccurate and having the results thrown out in court, it might be inaccurate but it has the best name ever: The Intoxilyzer 8000!. Rather than pay experts to do actual scientific testing to prove whether or not they work, they decided to spend $8,000 to run their own not-at-all-scientific test. They had 15 employees come in, on the clock, and drink all the Jim Beam whiskey they could handle. Then they had them blow into the Intoxilyzers. They also took blood (dang I hope they had a professional do tha and not Bob the kid in the mailroom with a needle), so they could compare the blood-alcohol readings from both methods. In December, a representative went in front of a panel of state judges to present the findings of the study. They instantly saw the flaw…it was just one amateur study. And they saw another flaw too…the results of the blood work still hadn't come back, so it wasn't even clear whether the study proved the Intoxilyzers were worthwhile or not.
Florida paid 15 state employees to get hammered in an attempt to test breathalyzers...you have to admit, that is a pretty cool thing to get paid to do while on the clock! Based on this, what is the coolest thing you have been able to do while on the job?
I use to sell magazines door to door and I got action from a lonely house wife..also smoked some dank with e40
Delivered margarita machines to parties always picked 'em up half full. Had to "clean" them in the warehouse with my friends. Lots of loose women at adult parties too. I was 19 at that time
I used to work for a firearms store so I got to spend a portion of my day product testing different guns. I now work for lynnwood harley davidson and I get to put 500 miles on the rental bikes to break in the motors
I got tattooed and pierced for free when it was a slow day at the shop. I worked as a shop manager and body piercer at Colorbomb Tattoo north of Seattle. When we were bored my boss would tattoo me just to stay busy! It was pretty rad. âBecca
As an armored truck driver I once took a nap on over 18 million dollars
.
Coolest thing ive done was drift cars while working at a valet for a hospital
Drank a twelve pack and had sex with my boss on her desk
I got to do lines of blow in the prep area of a fast food place with my manager... More then once! She paid for it every time and she always shared it with me. Making food was alot more fun and it increased my speed and accuracy!
My boss took me to the gun range & shot all his guns with me, i didn't have to pay or anything even though i was getting paid -âJosh in Bremerton
My boss wanted nachos so we want to the movies....saw avp 2
At a certain large seattle company which shalI remain nameless i played a game of flip cup against my company's president on the clock. Brian
Today's Video blog is a gift for BJ from CRAZY SHERI!
Talk about "Any Given Sunday"! Wow…both games yesterday were insane, ending in a very freaky manner! The Patriots won 23-20…but the Ravens should have won at the end of the game when Flaco threw what should have been a TD to Lee Evans…only for him to drop it!!! Then it was up to their kicker Billy Cundiff…he had to hit a very easy 32 yard field goal, and he missed it…wide left…wide left! Wow!!!! The look on the faces of some of the Ravens were priceless. Then we go to the Giants/49'ers game…and that one went into OT…where the punt return by Kyle Williams was fumbles…the Giants recovered, kicked a FG and are off to the Super Bowl!!!! That was Williams second fumble of the game, you think the 9'ers were missing their usual returner Ted Ginn Jr? He was injured last week. Damn!
Based on what happened to Cundiff missing the field goal…we got this text:
Cundiff tried to commit suicide, but he couldn't kick the chair out from under himself.
You have to feel for Cundiff…thanks to social networking, people are able to reach him on his Facebook page and tell him how they feel…Here are some Messages on Ravens' Kicker Billy Cundiff's Facebook Page:
Will: Leave baltimore
Virgil: You sould quit as a kicker!! Get a job your good at!!!
Brian: Suck it up Billy, you screwed up ,if you needed more time YOU should have called time out, so be a real man learn from your screw ups and make yourself better.
John: I just want to know what the look on Ray Lewis' face was like when you walked into that locker room last night after the game was over. I'm scared just thinking about it.
Adrian: U suk and ur holder sux have fun job hunting suker
Andrian: You son of a bitch!!!!
Chuck: Billy, Do the right thing!!!! I'll be glad to help you,pack!!!!
Leon: hey, ya killed yourself yet?
Kevin: all the hard work the team put in and you screw them who misses a 32 yd field goal way to go Finkle loser (FYI: That is an Ace Ventura Relate: In the film, Ray Finkle was the starting placekicker for the Miami Dolphins. He missed the winning field goal in the closing seconds of Super Bowl XVII and blamed holder Dan Marino for not holding the laces of the football out towards him during the kick.)
Jon-Erik: Just think of good ole Billy Buckner from the Red Sox . You might want to hit him up for some advice too.
Last night my wife and I went to see Cavalia…it's that horse/circus/acrobats…Cirque De Soleil type performance at Marymoor Park. All I can say is WOW! Larry King is right in saying it was the best show he has ever seen…this show was beyond amazing. I figured I would be amazed by the show, but words can not express how good this is…fellas…this is a great show that your woman will be stoked to go see. Get info and tix here: www.cavalia.net
Random fact of the day…when you have a puppy, and it sleeps in the bed with you…do NOT mistake that little puddle by your head as drool…it's not, it's pee…and that is not a fun way to start the week./ Thanks Lulu.
Speaking of our little pup, Lucy is finally getting along with her…over the weekend, they had a grudge match:
We got this email:
Hey Guys - I know the storm is big news right now and was hoping you guys could give a much deserved shout out. You have a lot of the people who are responsible for fixing this disaster who are fans of the show.
Since Weds night there have been over 425,000 people out of power. There were over 1500 individual outage events. Keep in mind that one "event" could be a lone service down, like to your house, or it could be a mile of poles & wire that is, literally, on the ground and needs to be rebuilt from scratch.
That is 1500 locations to drive trucks to, set up and start working. The initial 100 crews that are local were already working when an additional 150-200 out of state crews started arriving to assist. Have you ever hired 150 people at one time? Talk about logistics! Equipment, training, construction standards, paperwork, more paperwork and a metric shit ton of CYA because we are talking about live power lines here.
As of Sunday around noon, over 350K of the customers had been restored.
This was due to the hard work of thousands of employees, and that is what I want to touch on. At the start of the storm, crews work 40 hours straight without taking any time to sleep. They are then mandated to an 8 hour stand down to sleep, for safety. Then they start a cycle of 18 hours straight on, 6 hours off for sleep that repeats every day until the storm is finished.
Now do anything for 40 hours straight and try to stay safe, but working with electricity? In the darkness? Rain, wind, and everything else? Then sleep for 8 hours and go right back to doing the same job for another 18 hours straight. That is kind of crazy when you think about it, but these folks do it.
And the skeptics will say "well they get paid a ton of money" and that is very true. But after you work about 20-25 hours of overtime, the taxes go up to the point where you are working for little more than straight time wages.
The other side of that coin is this: These men and women, a lot of them, haven't been home to their own beds since Wednesday. They have been working. During the six hour downtime, a lot of times they sleep in their trucks.
We understand that losing power sucks, and we want to get it back on as soon as we can, but everything mother nature tears down takes time to rebuild, to do it right and do it safely.
We want the customers to know that we are out there every day trying to get them back on, but unfortunately we can't be everywhere at once.
Any discussion or shout out would be greatly appreciated as this time around has been pretty rough in the press about what a bunch of mooks we are.

Based on this email…whether it is your actual job or anything you have done in your life…when have you, or someone you know, done a "Thankless" job? What did you do? Here are the texts:
I am tired of hearing people whine about the weather like they are the only ones who got hit. A lot of us got hit in many different ways. My friend works for PSe and she has constantly been in my thoughts.
Im raising my brothers kids cause CPs took them he has never thanked me I could've just let the state have them but I thought I would be a good uncle
I do maintenance 4 taco time and keep all the stores running and dont even get a thank you. is that hard 2 ask
How about an armored car co. High risk, high physical demand, and strenuous driving for 50+ hours a week! Who needs thanks! :)
Airline pilot - smooth flight or nice landing you are a great pilot. Turbulent flight or firm landing and you suck! Put your butt in my seat and see that we are doing the best we can.
I work as a CNA (nurses aide) at a nursing home. Basically i clean up poo and vomit all day, give people bed baths, dress them, etc. I do EVERYTHING for these people, literally! I have been thanked once- whether from a patient OR coworker! And it was a patient who thanked me. Not ONE coworker has EVER thanked me for helping them. Its a crappy job but someones gotta do it! Becca
Tow truck operater is a thankless job, did for 10 plus years..
As a Barista I never charged the crappy cars for all the extras thinking they have fallen on hard times. Even though you know they won't tip
Try being a firefighter responding to falle. Trees, downed power lines, idiots who wreck non stop 48 hours on shift during the storm
Graveyard shift at Shari's. Hungry efin drunk people suck!
I gave my garbage man a men's room red on Friday when he braved our sagging power lines and frozen streets to pick up my lame garbage.
A thank less job is being a corrections officer. Being locked up with these people 8 hours a day 5 days a week and I work with all levels of inmates. Bob
What about I.T.?? We spend our time cleaning up your mess and getting screamed at
I don't know if these people realize it or not but the local power workers there leaving their families with no power to go put other peoples power back on
Thanks bj I work for a power company I've put in 50 hours straight workin storm duty
We got this email…
Guys…You guys always say if we have topic ideas that we should email you. We I have one that comes from a story you guys talked about over a week ago. Yesterday while watching the Pats kick some ass with my buddies…I mentioned to them the story about that kid who's Make A Wish was to blow up a building. This led to all of us sharing what we would do if we were given a wish. So my topic idea is this: If the Make-a-Wish guys changed their policy and began granting wishes for healthy people, what would YOU ask for?

In case you don't remember the story:
Maxwell Hinton is a seven-year-old boy from Fresno, California who came up with possibly the best Make-a-Wish ever. Maxwell had neuroblastoma, which is a malignant cancer that's most commonly found in children. He's undergone treatment and is recovering. When the Make-a-Wish people showed up, Maxwell wanted…to blow up a building. Make-a-Wish people located a building that needed to be demolished…a grain mill in Ohio needed to come down. Maxwell got flown to Ohio, and he got to press the button that set off the explosions.
So, a listener named Jeff had a great topic idea based on the story we did about the kid who had a Make A Wish request to blow up a building… If the Make-a-Wish guys changed their policy and began granting wishes for healthy people, what would YOU ask for? Here are the texts:
I'd like to visit area 51, I know you don't have to be terminal for the wish, but if I was, they'd have nothing to lose because their secret would soon die with me
