We had an interesting conversation this morning as BJ shared with us a chat he had with his son regarding work and having a career. BJ’s son, Joe, and his buds all think that there is no good reason to work so hard in their 20’s due to the economy, and shouldn’t worry about finding a career until his 30’s. They see no reason Are they crazy for thinking they should “live it up” in their 20’s, and then find a career in their 30’s? Personally I think they are…but like BJ said…I was brought up in a different generation. It’s crazy…I was brought up to bust my ass, and work my way up the chain…and that all starts in either your late teens (if you don’t go to college) or your early 20’s. I t worked for me, and for many others…I don’t see why we stopped doing that, hell…if I have a kid, that kid is going to have a paper route when it’s a fetus! It will start right away! At age 1…he/she will be in it’s crib selling lemonade. We got a lot of calls and texts about this topic…here are some of the texts we received:
I agree with Joe. Today's careers seem to be missing the ladder. They are more like multiple stepping stools. I started in retail too, and I'll tell you that it's easy to get stuck in retail. But he does need to get out at some point. It's a life taker down the line
What about when they want to have a family? That pay won't support that.
I work for Boeing and I'm 20! I make 36,0000 a year! I busted my ass working for little manufacturing companies to get to where I Am
The reason 40 and 50 year olds are broke and stupid because they didnt geta career]
Hey guys I just turned 30 and started my career at 24. I busted my ass and now work only 40hrs a week making 70k. Thanks guys..Taylor from Puyallup
Doing nothing is the way to ENSURE you're broke. He is justifying laziness. Degrees are PROVEN to make more money!
Bj your kid is lazy.. its called manual labor try it sometime, college won't get you shit these days
BJ, i started working as a mechanic at boeing 5 years ago. Im 25 and i just bought a house. I think your son is just lazy. I didnt start out making much but you slowly climb up the pay scale. It sounds like your son and his friend is immature. Love has nothing to do with work. Do what you gotta do. I own my own home now and have an awesome life.

Today's video blog features some of the finer Olympians competing in the Summer Games!
So the Olympics are here, and over the weekend I caught the fever…I watched a bunch of it. I have a couple of thoughts..
What the hell was up with the opening ceremonies? Could they try to make that even more boring? Holy spoke…my wife and I sat down to watch it 4 times, and fell asleep all four times…it was brutal. I love Danny Boyle, but next time he directs the Olympics, he should bring his editor that he uses for his films with him…trim the fat…some of that was just ridiculous. People pantomiming that they are churning butter or something, people coming out of trees, BORING! I did like the part where the Olympic rings came up from the ground to the sky to connect, and the fact that he had the Queen act in a scene with James Bond (Daniel Craig) was awesome.
I can’t watch fencing. I tried watching it as we were cleaning the house, and whenever they would get hit, it would send off a beep sound that sounds just like the error beep on my washer. I kept running upstairs like a mentally challenged Pavlovian Dog to check on my laundry.
Synchronized Diving sounds like a stupid event on paper, but it was rather entertaining to watch.
I have zero interest in watching men’s basketball, unless I catch wind that the US team is losing….that would be a compelling watch.
The highlight for me was this woman…
Why? Well she is on the woman’s volleyball team, and she has the best name ever… DESTINEE HOOKER! Yes, Hooker spikes the ball!
I thought Destinee Hooker was the best name at the Olympics…but she isn’t the only one that is rocking a great name! A website called Sports Pickle went through all the Olympic athletes, and picked out the funniest names in the 2012 Games.
Here are our ten favorites . . .
1. Chinese trampolinist Dong Dong.
2. Canadian swimmer Victoria Poon.
3. Austrian heptathlete Ivona Dadic. (yes, it's pronounced 'Dah-ditch', but IVONA DADIC…I Wanna Da’ D…..”)
4. South Korean pole vaulter Yoo Suk Kim.
5. New Zealand cyclist Jack Bauer . . . like from "24".
6. Swiss equestrian athlete Werner Muff.
7. Canadian track star Gavin Smellie.
8. Japanese volleyball player Yoshie Takeshita.
9. Chinese sailor Aichen Wang.
10. A track and field athlete from Trinidad and Tobago named . . . Sparkle McKnight.
Shawn "CLOWN" Crahan is the drummer and percussionist for SLIPKNOT . . . he's 42 now, and he's thinking about his future retirement. When it finally comes, he wants to pick his replacement . . . and he wants it to be his 18-year-old son Gage. Clown says, "My oldest boy, when I do skip, he's gonna take over my slot. He was sitting on the stair in diapers wearing my mask with sticks when we were downstairs trying to learn how to be a band. So when I leave, it won't be like I died and my son came in and tried to fill my place. I'm gonna bail, but I'm gonna hand over the throne and say, 'Hey, I can't do it anymore. You do it. You're my blood'."
This is pretty cool! If I was his kid, I would be begging him to quit now…he’s 18…and there are a lot of hot chicks that dig Slipknot! Oh the fun he could have! Based on this story…whether it be a job or a hobby…have your followed in your parent’s footsteps? How so? Or are you trying to groom your kid to follow in your footsteps? Here are the texts we got:
My dad retired from the Fire dept after 33 years. I'm have now been in for 27 years. I've listening to KISW since 79.
Went to college for psychology. Now i'm a real estate agent in the family business. Never been happier.

24-year-old Casey James Fury of New Hampshire was a civilian contractor who was working on one of the Navy's NUCLEAR SUBMARINES. On both May 23rd and June 16th, he wanted to get out of work early. So his strategy was . . . to START FIRES. On a NUCLEAR sub. According to an affidavit filed yesterday, he did about $400 MILLION in damage between the two fires. He said he wanted to get out of work because he suffers from anxiety, and his ex-girlfriend had just started dating another man. On both days, he DID get out of work early. And as a reward, he's facing a possible sentence of . . . LIFE IN PRISON for arson. That's right. Life. What a nimrod! Wow!
That has to be the most ridiculous thing ever to do to get out of work…but what about you? What ridiculous thing have you or someone you know done to get out of doing something? Here are some of the texts we got:
In 1996 my cousin called in a bomb threat on the Narrows Bridge. Yes he got caught, yes he served time. All to get out of work...
When I was 15 I went and bought a bunch of chains and combo locks so I wouldn't have to go to school. At that time I thought I was super bad ass and unstoppable, but, I did get caught and I was supspended. So I got out of school. I just had to spend my week in a little white room, then go home to have to do yard work. Never tried to get out of something after that. Now, because of it, i'm a doctor and very good at my job. –Paul
My grandfather drove a jeep over himself to be put in a bodycast to avoid the draft of WW2

I swallowed some dip so I'd throw up in front of my mom to get out of school
I worked at a pizza place and i wanted to go home early so i put my finger dowm my throat and threw up all over the floor and it worked
When I was 15, I urinated in the gas tank of my dads lawn mower knowing it would break it, because I didn't want to mow the lawn.
My friend tried to fake his death in 2cd grade to get out of math. It didnt work.
Back when me and my bro were young we broke an exspesive vase of my parents. We freaked out and trashed the whole house and told our parents somebody robbed the house. Parents called the police, investigated got caught, and got our ass beat 5 times every hour for 6 hours. When we were done me and my bro couldn’t sit for hours
And this could be the greatest text ever:
to get out of moving day I hid from my wife in a giant moving box in the living room with eye holes cut in it so I could watch football...... I wrote heavy on the box so I got away with it for quite some time.....matt
Today's video blog features the ultimate Rock-A-Holic named Jamie that I met at my Hooters event on Friday night!
So last night my night was made. Thanks to The Iron Sheik. I came across a hilarious article where Iron Sheik was interviewed by NBC online, and I don’t think they knew what they were getting into when interviewing “Sheikie”. Here is the article…
So when I saw that, I had to share it with my fellow wrasslin’ fan, my boss…SGT. Hairclub…I tweeted it to him, and the the Iron Sheik replied….check it out:
Over this past week we talked about that sad story about the 5th Grade school teacher, Stacy Ankerfelt, who was hit by a car and is in critical condition because of an impaired driver. We have been getting updates from her cousin Brandy…a couple days ago she told me that Stacy was able to move her toes, and I got an email from her yesterday that said that “Stacy moved her hands and arms on command! One more victory!!” Don't forget, you can help the family out with the medical costs here:
Also…there are a couple other ways to show support:
There is going to be a silent auction and spaghetti feed on August 5th at 1:00 PM at the Log Cabin Pub in Sumner
There will be a car wash for Stacy at the Les Schwab in Enumclaw on Sunday August 12th at 9 am.
Two different surveys were recently done on what sport should be kicked out of the Olympics.
In one survey, 19% of people said badminton should be kicked out . . . 15% said table tennis . . . and 13% said team handball. Team handball is the only sport America won't be competing in this year. The other survey . . . which was only of men . . . found 47% think TRAMPOLINE should get kicked out. 30% picked synchronized swimming, 18% picked table tennis, and 5% picked archery.
The sport people are most looking forward to watching is gymnastics. That's followed by swimming and track and field.
I’m sorry…Table Tennis is just ping pong…I get they are really good at it, but anything that can be a drinking game should not be a sport. Whats next, Darts? Oh wait…Archey is pretty much that. I kid you Hunger Games freaks…I get Archery is difficult, but so is Flip Cup when you are wasted. I think there are only 2 sports worth watching…Water Polo, because it’s like hockey in the water, and volleyball…why Women’s Volleyball? Need I say more:
The opening ceremonies for the Olympics are today…Do you even care? If so…what is your favorite sport? What sport do you want out? Here are the texts we received:
I would say fencing and all women ones, they all suck and ppl dont watch females sports so dont have them in the olympics!!!
I would kick out men's basketball. A bunch of overpaid prima donnas that couldn't act like a team if their lives depended on it. –Bjorn
Speed walking should be cut. That's not a sport.
I don't really care for the olympics, but I don't understand why they haven't added motor sports, like drifting, formula 1 and rally racing, now that is worth watching
Really don't care about the Olympics. It's baseball season and I will watch my losing Mariners over the Olympics any day. –Bjorn
The winter olympics are far more entertaining to watch than the summer olypics!
Gymnastics is great... Because cameltoe !!!
Steve the volleyball outfits changed to a more conservative look this year. Those rat bastards.lol..
It's not that I don't think basketball shouldn't be in the Olympics, however pro players shouldn't be allowed to participate. Let the college stars play. AMATURES! Nothing like the feeling when our hockey team won in '80! Cy from McChord!
Try watching water polo! Violent and fun!
I could give a flying f*** about the Olympics. A bunch of obscure "sports" that my kindergartener could do. Waste of time.
Beer chugn & MIDGET TOSS'N SHUD B OLYMPIC SPORTS!
Today's Video Blog stems from a video we came across where some girl is crying because of the news that the Twilight girl Kristen Stewart cheated on the Twilight boy Robert Pattinson.
Exciting news for hockey fans…Wayne Gretzky, The Great One, was in town yesterday & was spotted at the Mariners game. It sounds like going to Safeco to watch the M’s take on the Yankees wasn’t the only reason for the visit…rumor has it that #99 was meeting with some people in Bellevue regarding bring a NHL franchise to Seattle. No word if this was with hopes of teaming up with Chris Hansen’s plans of building an arena in Sodo area to bring an NBA franchise back, or if this was a meeting to also talk about building an arena on the Eastside. Hopefully it’s to partner up with Hansen, but either way lets get this done Gretzky! That would be so damn awesome, and who better to be the ambassador for the NHL in Seattle than Wayne Gretzky. I figured I would do my effort and try and help make this happen…so I thought we should get Wayne on the show. I have no way to get to him, so I figured what better way to reach him than to “tweet” his daughter, Paulina.
Are you not familiar with Paulina? Well she is kind of like Paris Hilton in her socialite ways…partying and taking dirty pix on Twitter. I laughed when I read an article recently that said “Wayne Gretzky has 99 Problems And His Daughter Is One.” All you have to do is do an image search for her online, and this pops up:
A company called Kaleidoscope came up with the 10 most embarrassing things that can happen on your wedding day. Kaleidoscope makes dresses for the mother-of-the-bride, so their results may be a little skewed. Here's their list:
1. Bad outfits: The example they gave was a bride's mother who wore an inappropriately sexy dress.
2. Tension between the mothers: Nasty comments, one-upmanship, and full-blown arguments between the bride and groom's mothers.
3. The groom showing up at the altar drunk.
4. Wardrobe malfunctions, like the groom's pants falling down.
5. Crying babies.
6. Someone speaking up during the moment when the minister asks, "Speak now or forever hold your peace".
7. The groom picks the venue.
8. Seating chart politics: It can be tough to keep all the family members who hate each other separated at the reception.
9. Unwanted guests: Not uninvited guests . . . but when you invite someone just to be polite, and they show up and make a scene.
10. One of the dads dancing at the reception.
Based on this list of the 10 most embarrassing wedding mishaps...what was the most embarrassing thing that has happened to you or someone you know at a big event? Here are some of the texts we got:
We had an open bar and my husband had a bit too much to drink. Needless to say he had to be carried out of the reception and when we had to got to the hotel , i had to ask the valet for a wheelchair and wheel him into the honeymoon suite. There was a prom going on at the hotel and so all the kids got to see me wheel my husband into the place in my wedding dress. Best night ever! Married 11 years this year and couldn't ask for a better partner but he to this day can't live that night down
I was a grooms man at at a buddys wedding. got so drunk the other groomsmen had to hold me up. his wife still wont talk to me. signed Clifford
Nicole in Tacoma, at my high school graduation my dad & stepmom showed late & drunk. They yelled out my name and u could smell the alcohol all over them
My best man at my wedding up and left mid way through the ceremony to go to an Amway global meeting
my best man said my wifes name wrong during his speech. Cajun
my best friend let her hair on fire during the ceremony at her sisters wedding
wore kilt for wedding. Everyone wanted to lift it up
My buddy deuced himself at the ACDC concert. Waited till Thunderstruck was over then cleaned himself up.
Groomsman doing it in the parking lot with the grooms sister & getting caught by brides relatives
Our best man got locked in the dressing room during his fitting. We had to have the door broken down to get him out.
My best friend showed up to his sisters wedding high on meth and heroin, gave his sister a dead rat, and punched the groom. It took 5 of us to drag him out.
Kleenex did a survey of Australian women, and ALL of them said they'd seen their husband or boyfriend cry at a movie. Only 40% said they'd cried at the birth of their children . . . 25% cried on their wedding day . . . and 10% cried when their favorite sports team lost.
Here are the ten movies most likely to get a guy choked up:
1. "Marley and Me"
2. "Red Dog": That was an Australian movie released last year . . . about ANOTHER dog that dies. So apparently that does the trick.
3. "Life is Beautiful"
4. "The Shawshank Redemption"
5. "The Notebook"
6. “Forrest Gump"
7. "Love Actually"
8. "Titanic"
9. "My Sister's Keeper": That's a Cameron Diaz movie from 2009 by the guy who directed "The Notebook", about a little girl with leukemia and her organ donor sister.
10. "Toy Story 3"
So we had to ask…guys…be honest…what was the last film that made you tear up? Ladies, when did you bust your man crying because of a movie? Here are the texts we received:
I cried at the end of Act of Valor
I would punch any of my buddies wh cry in front of me.
Powder
I've never cried during a movie until I saw Marley and me. I cried like a little girl. I had to turn it off. DAMN YOU MARLEY!!!
Armageddon
The Dark Knight Rises had me in tears... The emotional scenes with Alfred were so raw and well done that if that man dosent get an oscar nod it will be a crime
Rudy. Every time man. U guys make it possible to wake up before 10. - spider in lfp
Bj the movie that made me cry was (law abiding citizen) with gerald buttler and jamie foxx they murder his wife and daughter in front of him but his revenge is sweet
The movie "my girl", when McCauley Culkin dies and Veda(the little girl) runs in at his funeral and starts freaking out yelling, "where's his glasses, he can't see without his glasses". I dont know why, but that scene is brutal..... ~cj
We bought a zoo when the tiger died.. Sad I love animals Red the chicken man
The last movie to make me cry like a little girl was GRAN TORINO. I held out pretty well til the end. Then I lost it.
Brian's song should be #1 on the list for guys
The freaking bucket list
"Pay it forward" got me. Most recently was hearing Steve talking about Lucy though.
Act Of Valor, actors weren't great but the story line is great. Ben from JBLM HOOAH!
This morning we were talking about that awful story about the 5th Grade school teacher, Stacy Ankerfelt, who was hit by a car and is in critical condition because of an impaired driver. This is such a sad story…a lot of her friends listen to the show, and she sounds like an amazing woman. The guy was charged with vehicular assauly, and we learned that yesterday Stacy was able to move her toes. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. We got this update via text:
Thank you for updating on Stacy's story! Another update is that she was moved from critical to serious condition. Again, appreciate spreading the word!
Her cousin also emailed us this:
There will be a car wash for Stacy at the Les Schwab in Enumclaw on Sunday August 12th at 9 am.
Don’t forget, you can help the family out with the medical costs here:
I finally got around to watching WWE RAW…the 1000th episode. All I can say is WOW! What an awesome episode…some great cameos from some of the guys I grew up watching mix it up in the squared circle…guys like Road Warrior Animal, Psycho Sid Vicious, Roddy Piper, New Age Outlaws (Billy Gunn & Road Dogg), X-Pac, Shawn Michaels (hell a full DX Reunion minus China), JBL, Ron Simmons, Doink, Lita (who looks even better now than she did back in the day), Trish Stratus, and more. It was one of the better produced shows, and some great storylines being developed…like the one between The Rock, and CM Punk. It’s getting real interesting!
Dunkin’ Donuts is trying to market their coffee in a unique way on South Korean buses. Dunkin’ has determined South Korean customers think of their shops as places to buy doughnuts but not coffee. So the company is getting creative with the coffee reminders. When a commercial for Dunkin’ Donuts is heard on a bus, the jingle triggers a machine to emit the scent of Dunkin Donuts coffee. They have strategically placed Dunkin Donut shops at bus exits so that it’s the first place you see when you get off the bus. During the campaign, visits to Dunkin Donuts increased 16% and sales increased 29%. Here is a video all about it…it’s pretty interesting:
Based on Dunkin’ Donuts using a fake coffee smell on buses to get more customers…finish this sentence…”I love the scent of _____”. Here are the texts we received:

A 25-year-old man in New Zealand was jealous that his ex-girlfriend might start dating someone new. So the guy built a HIDDEN BUNKER underneath his ex's HOUSE. He crawled under the house from the deck, climbed through a manhole into an empty space underneath the stairs, and stocked it with food and clothes. He also had a golf club, a chair leg, a screwdriver, and a knife to use as weapons. Then he cut passageways into a linen closet and the hot water heater closet, so he could sneak into the house whenever he wanted. He got caught on April 1st, when he JUMPED out of his hiding spot to attack a man who stopped by to visit his ex late at night. He was sent to jail for more than three years on assault and trespassing charges.
A guy in New Zealand built a hidden bunker to spy on his ex-girlfriend... based on this...have you or someone you know ever spied on someone? If so, who was it, and why? Here are the texts we got:

While u guys r on the subject, will u tell Steve to quit spying on me, he goes in the pantry, and he sees peanut butter, and stalks , and spys on me unt il I turn around, and he snatches me up, Lulu
Today's Video Blog features a cool gift that Garbage Man Drew got us!
Yesterday, the Seattle Mariners shocked their fans when they announced that they traded star outfielder Ichiro Suzuki to the New York Yankees. The Yankees also received cash in the deal that sent right-handers D.J. Mitchell and Danny Farquhar to the Mariners. Ichiro spent his entire Major league career with Seattle. He is a10-time All-Star and 10-time Gold Glove winner, Suzuki was the AL MVP and rookie of the year in 2001 after a stellar career in Japan, and the Mariners reached the AL championship series that season before losing to the Yankees. Seattle has not been back to the playoffs since then.
This is a big deal here in the NW, as a huge part of Seattle sports history is leaving us…Ichiro was loved by all…hell, even Ben Gibbard
Not to be out done by Ben Gibbard…our very own Mono-Nick wrote a song about Ichiro…it’s titled “Ichiro Has Got To Go.” Check it out:
A historic moment in Seattle happened yesterday as Ichiro was traded yesterday to the New York Yankee, based on this…whether it be in the world of sports or anything else…what do you consider to be a defining moment is Seattle history? Here are the texts we received:

Sally Ride, the first American woman in orbit, died yesterday at her home in San Diego at the age 61 due to pancreatic cancer. Before Sally, Space used to be a man's world. The fact that Sally “rode” (waka waka) to space was groundbreaking at the time because space travel was a thing for men not women…based on this, finish this sentence: “Because of who I am…people are shocked when they find out I do or have done ______.”
People r shocked that I have a super hot wife.. Ain't that right toppy.. Red

Man what a rough weekend…all these reports about the shooter ion Colorodo couldn’t be more depressing. I had to stop reading about it…the coverage was just disgusting. Even worse…people that were tweeting about it, and putting a hash tag to it. A hash tag? You really had to make sure your comment would be trending? Give me a break. You are a #MORON.
Then we get more bad news on a local level. JP Patches…a man that many people grew up watching on KIRO 7 as a kid, passed away at the age of 84. He has battled a form of a blood cancer for the last 6 years, and even though he is no longer with us…Chris Wedes will forever live in the hearts of the many “Patches Pals” out there. I love this clip, this is when JP Patches “sabotaged” Harry Waplers weather report:
JP patches was a huge part of people’s childhood…so we asked the Rock-A-Holics, whether it be JP Patches or anything else…what brings you back to your childhood? Also…what was it about JP that made you a fan? Here are the texts we received:
Willie Whistle in Boston :)
I'm 36 yrs old....without a doubt the little rascals and Popeye!!!
Dave Niehauss. His voice made me 8 years old again, cheering for Mr Mariner Alvin Davis. Even during the worst season, Dave's voice made you care. –Bjorn
I met him when I was a little girl. I am now 40, I loved him. I honestly don't know what it was about that show that had me so enthralled but I was never more excited when I met him at Seattle center other than the sesame street ice capades and again I was only about 4 or 5.
while doing construction at sunset elementary in tacoma, I found an original jp patches autograph on a sheetrock wall dated 1977. I cut it out and it is now in my china hutch. b t p bob from Puyallup
Thank u guys for taking time today for JP! I'm 43 and a Seattle native..I love JP! I think he's so beloved here because he was always so accessible...he would have local kids on the show and always about in the community and schools so he was much more real to us than other kids shows! Ur biggest fan..Tamra w.sea!! <3
1979 at the end of the show on my birthday, JP Patches looked onto the camera and said my name and wished me a happy birthday. For a 6 yr old it was magic-Jayson
My best taking to childhood activity is playing on the swings. I love the wind washing my troubles away. The freelessness of it all
I got this email from Brandy, and if any of you Rock-A-Holics can help out…that would be great.
The website Buzzfeed, a social media and pop culture site, has assembled a list here of weird things that EVERYONE does. Basically, it's stuff you probably do all the time. You just never talk about it. Here are some of the things that made the list…I think I do all of them:
1. You Keep Singing Along to a Song After You Leave the Room. Then when you come back, you see if you're still in sync with it.
2. When You're Writing the Word "Wednesday," You Sound It Out in Your Head as "Wed-Nes-Day."
3. You Write the Wrong Date on a Check So You Look More Responsible.
4. You're Cooking Something, and You Throw Away the Package Too Soon. So you have to dig it out of the trash to look at the directions again.
5. Your Cell Phone Is Covered in Smudges. So you wipe the screen with your thumb until all the smudge marks are going in the same direction.
6. You Make a Mistake While You're Entering Your Password on a Website. But instead of using the backspace key, you delete the whole thing and start over.
7. You Hate the Sound of Your Microwave Beeping. So you always stop it when there's one second left.
8. Having fictional arguments in your head.
9. Forgeting the names of everyone you just met immediately.
10. Cleaning your hands with the condensation from a glass of water.
Based on this list of the 10 Weird Things We All Do but Never Talk About…finish this sentence: “People think I’m weird when they see me do _____?” Here are the texts:
I take a Crap. Then i look at it. Its amazing
Eat peanuts in the shell.
people think im weird when they see me dip frenchfries in icecream ~heather
Jim, seattle. People think I'm weird because whenever I make accidental eye contact with somebody on the street, I smile and nod instead of quickly looking away
People think I'm wierd when then see me openly carry(holstered on my belt) my 45 caliber handgun. Washington is an Open Carry legal state. –Sauce
My bf thinks its weird that I put lemon in my water, but don't like lemonade and I don't put lemon in my iced tea. Also, I don't Like gravy on my mashed potatoes, but love biscuits and gravy
I will mouth the words to a sentence I've already spoken
People think I'm weird because I eat meals one item at a time. I will finish my steak before I eat potatoes and I finish all the food before I have my beverage. –Bjorn
People think it is wierd just because I wear Daisy Dukes and weigh 347 pounds and am a dude. Kirk
I eat the skin off chicken nuggets before I eat the meat. Been doing it since I was a kid and can't break the habit
I will eat everything on my plate separately.. Such as if i have vegies, potatoes, and fish .. I will typically eat my vegies then move onto the fish and finish with the potatoes. My friends make fun of me because i dont eat everything at once. – Christina
BJ people think Im weird when I put potato chips on my PBJ sandwich or french fries on my McDonalds cheeseburger with tonnes of ketchup
dip my tator tots in strawberry applesauce.
I always get my right and left mixed up. So when someone tells me a direction i hold up my right hand and pretend i am writing since i am right handed. U think it would b easier for me now that i'm 45 but its not
Today's video blog features a gift that Toppy got me over the weekend!
First off…my thoughts and prayers go out to the familes of the people that were tragically killed or injured by some wack job that opened fire at a midnight showing of the Dark Knight Rises this morning in Aurora, Colorodo. Simply senseless, and awful. I just can’t wrap my head around that.
Yesterday at the British Open, golfer Rory McIlroy flattened a teenage spectator with an errant tee shot. McIlroy's drive on the 15th went right, hitting Jason Blue, 16, of England, on the back of the head and leaving him dazed on the ground in a pool of blood. After his head was bandaged, Blue received a signed glove from the McIlroy. McIlroy came over to check on his condition and give him the autograph that said "Sorry" and included a smiley face. Later that evening, after being put in touch with the teen, Rory’s team returned to the local cricket club where the teen was camping with a friend, packed up his tent and set him up in a hotel for the rest of the tournament, as well as some pocket money for dinner.
Based on this story……when have you gotten something for free? What was it, and why did you get it at no cost? Here are the texts we received:

Today's Video Blog features part 2 of our chat with Bob Saget! In this clip, Bob chats about Full House and more!
What an awesome day…we got to talk to my favorite wrestler, CM Punk…not only is my fave wrassler…he was Lucy’s favorite too…check her out with one of her favorite toys…a CM Punk stuffed bear!
The last time we had CM Punk on, he dropped a “Pipe Bomb” way before the term even existed…back in 2009 I asked him about Hulk Hogan joining TNA, and his comments led to a firestorm of comments in the wrestling internet world…
Punk was on this morning to promote the 1000th episode of RAW on Monday…where he will defend his title agains John Cena. Should be a good match…if it is anything like their Money In The Bank match last year in Chicago, we are in for a treat. So last night I tweeted out there if people had any questions for Punk, and I sent it to Paul Heyman (he’s back in the WWE…the mastermind behind ECW back in the day) as well…and he tweeted me back. Being a huge Heyman fan like I am, when I saw this…I would be lying if I didn’t say I was pretty stoked:
While getting ready for the interview, I went online and watched some CM Punk interviews…I became obsessed with watching Punk doing morning local TV interviews when he is in certain towns. You can tell these anchors are clueless to who Punk is, and he has fun with it. I love the beginning of this interview when he says: "Thanks for squeezing me in before your Gonorrhea story"
This is another great one...I love the ending when he says: "You are falling apart...woman"
Researchers from Cornell University surveyed men and women to see what would make them most jealous when it came to their boyfriend or girlfriend . . . and an ex.
Basically, people were asked to rank interactions between their partner and an ex based on how jealous they would get. Results were the same for men and women. Here are the top four responses.
1. Going out for a meal: The researchers said that there's just something special about sharing food .
2. Going out for coffee: It's not as troubling as eating together, but it's still a problem.
3. Talking on the phone.
4. Exchanging emails.
Based on what makes people jealous…what is your moment of extreme jealousy? What did you or someone you know do? Here are the texts we got:
Me ex sent me nudey pictures the week of my wedding. That was bad.
My ex got drunk and blew up my phone with texts. On Valentines day. I was with my girl at the time and she was acting jealous about that. As If I could've stopped it.
Most guys usually get crazy jealous when i communicate with any other guy.... Because i'm not allowed to have friends. The #1 reason i stay single.
Ha perfect topic today. I get jealous when my husband gets a massage by an attractive woman.
Me ex sent me nudey pictures the week of my wedding. That was bad.
My ex fiance asked me if he could have dinner with his ex, I said yes... No problem.
He was gone until 2 am and broke up with me 3 days later. I am now happily married to a guy who enjoys my time and not his ex
This just happened a week ago, my gf's ex showed up after apparently a year of no conversation, to give her a birthday card. I was pissed and because women
Facebook!! My last 2 relationships ended due to the girl finding a new love or rekindling an old flame!!!
What a great way to end the show...Bob Saget joined us in studio!!!
Today's Video Blog features Bob Saget...he's in town because he is at the Moore Theater tonight filming a Comedy Special. Tickets are avaialble through STGpresents.org , he is doing 2 shows... 7pm & 9:30 pm.
We were one of the lucky ones that got to watch The Dark Knight Rioses at the iMAX in the Pacific Science Center. Here is my review of the film:
WOW
Ok ok ok…here is a more detailed review:
HOLY CRAP THAT WAS AWESOME
Fine fine fine…I know a lot of people are excited for this film, and I would be shocked if you are disappointed by this movie. First off…see this on an iMAX screen if you can, I know a lot of them are sold out this weekend…I did hear that there are tix available for the 6:30 am screening at the Science Center…so if you work strange hours, go have some popcorn for breakfast and check it out. There are a bunch of scenes that were filmed for the big iMAX screen, and it’s visually stunning. The story is great, the acting is top knotch…some really powerful scenes between Alfred and Bruce Wayne, the action is beyond entertaining. I would say this is hands down my favorite of the 3 Christian Bale Batman movies. It’s nearly 3 hours, and it flies by…one of those edge of your seat kind of films. I can’t wait to see it again, and take my wife with me! The only negative…it inspired BJ to talk in his whispered “I’m Batman” voice for the entire ride home, ha! The big debate I had with the guys before this film came out was that I wasn’t excited that Anne Hathaway was going to be Catwoman…I just couldn’t picture her in that role, and I am willing to eat my words on that, as Anne was AWESOME as Catwoman…she played the part purrfectly…Waka Waka! Oh wow…did I really write that…I am such a cheeseball…I apologize!
A survey by YourTango.com, which is a dating and lifestyle website, asked people what makes people of the opposite sex irresistible. Surprisingly, both men and women agreed that physical appearance WASN'T the most important thing. Sense of humor was voted the quality that makes people irresistible. Self-confidence was the next most important. That doesn't mean that women completely IGNORE physical features on guys. Here are the three features that women said were most important to them when checking out a guy.
1. 40% of women said the EYES were most important.
2. 20% said a guy's LIPS or SMILE.
3. And a guy's HAIR is the top feature for 12% of women.
So we had to open up the lines to calls and texts and ask…what attracts you to somebody? It could be looks or anything…what is it? Here are the texts:
So im attracted to legs especially if they are in high heels
Face, ass, boobs ..in that order....oh and maybe personality
A nice juicy ass. I like something to grab on to. Thats what i love about my lady. Just go look at her rock girl bikini pics. Its Amanda...very tasty!
Big masculine hands - no girly hands!
Intelligence!!! If you can't text a full sentence with actual word don't want to talk to them. Bald heads, nice teeth and good breath help too.
A girl with dark hair and lots of tattoos, like kat von d from LA ink
It use to be looks (ie bad boy type/tatts) but now I know if im attracted to u.....u have issues ( no job, drugs,warrents) lol- Jamie
if it is a complete stranger i look at posture and how they walk. i think it says a lot about someone. Rock on!
no Adams apple.
Last week we played this audio of Robert Blake when he was on "Piers Morgan Tonight" … He got upset with Piers a few times over questions about the murder of his wife, Bonnie Lee Bakley. He told Piers at one point that his wife's murder wasn't a significant moment in his life. He said that when he found an audience at the age of 2 was more significant…we are assuming it’s a relate to him being on the Little Rascals. I thought that was crazy, palling around with Alfalfa & Buckwheat was more significant than the murder of his wife! This led to a good chat about what is significant…should it be negative or positive, etc. What about you? What is the most significant moment in your life? Here are the texts we received:
When my husband was 15 he was blown up with 5 gal. Of gas.lost his face.had plastic surgery and u can even tell besides his surgery scars etc.my point.he uses this experience in daily life. Helping me through pain like childbearing.our son had an accident he was able to use his experience to help him.he turned a bad experience into something good by useing it to his beifit.to be understanding and helpful.he didnt let it trumatise him he let it help him help others.
Top of the significant list : Going to my dads funeral as an inmate of Washington state womens prison. Been clean 8 years now:)
Most significant moment of my life has been getting off drugs and rejoining Superfekta ~K-ris Cort Drugs are bad m'kay! GG dummy;p <3 u STP
I have 2: Meeting my husband and publishing my first novel!
Saved five lives,including myself and my commanding officer while deployed at iraq.
Seeing my mom treated poorly by the men in her life, taught me how not to a woman
The moment when toppy told me that my mustache looked cute
The moment when i sold mono nick a bag of dried parsley and told him it was weed
Meeting my husband in junior high. And knowing I was going to marry him one day. Even if it took 8 years of stalking. It happened.
Graduating from Marine Corps boot camp and earning the title of Marine
Losing control of a car at 180 mph was significant in my life. Stopped my need for speed real quick.
Today's Video blog is an Intern Challenge...Our intern Craig has 60 seconds to find a random person to yell at him, saying, quote,"You are the worst intern ever." There was controversey surrounding this challenge, as to whether or not he really got someone to yell at him...after we voted, it was considered a fail. What do you think?
Sad news to find out yesterday…Jon Lord from Deep Purple died at the age of 71. Jon was the keyboardist that founded the band. I was never a huge Deep Purple fan, but I dig a lot of their songs…and you have to recognize their importance in music history. They inspired so many great hard rock bands…
Somehow we got talking about the Summer Olympics, and how both BJ & I don’t really care about the Summer Olympics. I am more of a Winter Olympics fan…mainly because of Hockey, and the only sport I enjoy watching during the Summer games is Water Polo….why? Well. It’s like hockey…but in the water! After I said this, a text came in that brought up an excellent point:
Don't like summer Olympics? That's the stupidest thing you guys have ever said. Two words, beach volleyball.
Hell…indoor volleyball is pretty awesome as well!
Back in 2003, a Colorado hotel employee accused Kobe Bryant of raping her. The charges were dropped, but she did file a civil suit, which Kobe settled without admitting guilt. In an interview posted yesterday on Yahoo Sports, Kobe said being charged with rape made him a better person: "I think it challenges who you are as a person. To have to go through something like that with not only individually but as a family. For the Lakers organization, my teammates. It was extremely difficult and you kinda had to do some soul searching, because you're fighting numerous battles at the same time. You just kind of try to figure your way through all of this mess. And the only thing that you can do is put one foot in front of the other, and just continue to move forward."
Kobe Bryant says his 2003 rape case helped make him a better person…when have you gone through a challenging time in your life, and it made you a better person because of it? Here are the texts we received:
DUI @ age 20. I'm 28 now, it made me instantly grow up and slowed me down a lot!
When my dad died in my arms of a massive heart attack when I was 15. It's made me aspire to be someone who would make him proud. :) Faith
Making out with the rev made me re-evaluate my life. Since then i stopped drinking and hanging around comic book shops
While deployed I found out my fiance, who was pregnant, cheated on me. It turned into a huge deal with both families. But it showed me just how special my current wife and her family is. It's really made me appreciate her more everyday
I spent 90 days in jail in f'n yakima!! I didn't realize what a judgemental princess I was. Spend some time with some gang-banger chicks over there - its a real freakin eye opener to how blessed ur life really is....
2007 my parents died. It's made me stronger and a better person in the end. If only I could be like my dad......Chris in Enumclaw
I was a hardcore drug addict for 21 years. I have been clean for 8 years now, and have been a Medical Assistant now for 2 years and 11 days!! Marysville
I got caught in a drive by and almost died ten years ago. Changed my life
MSN.com came up with a list of the top four things 20-somethings waste money on.
1. Apartments They Can't Afford. A lot of 20-somethings think they DESERVE a nice apartment . . . even if they just got out of school and don't make much money. In reality, if you're 22 years old, you should probably be living in a cramped apartment with a roommate or two.
2. Lunch During the Workweek. People in their twenties are much less likely to pack a lunch. And if you spend $15 on lunch five days a week, that's $3,750 a year. You can pack your own lunch for a fraction of that.
3. Partying. If you go out one night a week and spend $75, that's $3,600 a year. And a lot of people in their twenties go out WAY more than one night a week.
4. Coffee. People of ALL ages are guilty of this one. But people in their 20s are more likely to order expensive drinks like cappuccinos, because they still haven't learned to tolerate a NORMAL cup of coffee . . . which you can make for about 15 cents. If you spend $5 at Starbucks five days a week, you're spending over a thousand dollars a year on coffee.
So we asked the Rock-A-Holics to finish this sentence: “Looking back on my life, I can’t believe I wasted money on ________?” Here are the texts we received:
I can't believe I wasted money on an ex boyfriend. I paid for most of the dates, our food, his clothes, his car. You name it. From Shannon in auburn
530 Dollar a month truck payment just before gas skyrocketed insurance was 120and gas aprox 250a month totaling 900a month just to drive
I can't believe how much money I wasted on video games. Haven't beat about 2/3s of my collection. -âTyler
I can't believe I wasted so much money on a wedding for a marriage that didn't work out.
words: Chinese Democracy
Strippers
On speeding tickets!!! 48 to be exact !
My room mate and I are both in our 20s and dropped almost 20k at bars last year. I blame it on rugby D, Seattle
A BMW and a Harley. Even though I was/am making 6 figures, still was a waste.
Friday night was an amazing night of music! Slash played at the Showbox SoDo…and he was awesome…his band with Myles Kennedy sounded great. Not only did they play songs from Slash’s solo stuff…but they played a bunch of Gun’s N Roses songs like Sweet Child Of Mine, Out To Get Me, Mr. Brownstone, and during the encore…Duff McKagan came out and they played It’s So Easy, and Paradise City…check it out:
The rock stars were in attendance too…I got to talk to Jerry Cantrell from Alice In Chains for a minute, and I saw Michael Wilton of Queensryche there, and I think I saw ben from Soundgarden there. The moral of the story…Slash brings all the boys to the yard!
Jerry Brewer from the Seattle Times recently wrote an article about how Seattle badly needs a sports superstar again. Jerry writes:
Quick, name a sports superstar residing on a Seattle team. Ichi ... oh, no. Heck no. Not anymore. Just stop. Felix Hernandez? Certainly, the 2010 Cy Young Award winner is among baseball's best pitchers, But with a 33-31 record the past three years and an irrelevant team holding him down, it's hard to call him a superstar.
Marshawn Lynch? Dynamic local star, but he lacks the far-reaching appeal.
From the rise of Ken Griffey Jr. through the best of Ichiro, Seattle experienced a remarkable run of superstars. Not surprisingly, all of its teams enjoyed successful periods, too. But the cyclical nature of sports dictated that it would have to end. There's no doubt Seattle is in a transition period.
Think of some of the star power that came through here from 1990 to 2010: Griffey, Ichiro, Gary Payton, Shawn Kemp, Alex Rodriguez, Randy Johnson, Walter Jones.
Based on the article in the Seattle Times about how Seattle badly needs a sports superstar again… Whether it be an athlete or any other public figure…Who is…or was…Seattle’s “Super Star”?
For me the kid from enumclaw running napcar/nascar. Kasey kahne
Steve Largent. The greatest reciever to ever play the game. Rob in Lacey.
A-Rod, we were supposed to get married but he went away to texas. After that jerk went to the yankees we quit talking.
Are you kidding me. King5's JESSE JONES!!!! Dave at murrey's. What's up Steve!
I would say Duff McKagan. Member of one of the greatest rock bands ever, wrote a brilliant autobiography, now he is clean, healthy, still rocks, and works hard to improve his city. Simply, Duff is the man. –Bjorn
Mary k laturno is my hero from jack ass in Enumclaw
Kasey Keller! Kelly in Bremerton ;)
Lucy and STP!
Sir mix a lot was everywhere for awhile. He rapped about cruising Seattle and mentioned many land marks all all around the city. Buying gold,picking up girls and fun stuff. Not like gangsta rap shooting cops and such derogatory things.

Speaking of Wrestling…Huge thanks to The Chef, a local wrestler who I chatted with at my Car Toys even on Saturday in Silverdale…he rocked this during his SCW wrestling event in Poulsbo on Saturday night!
Speaking of that wrestling event… how about yours truly got a shoutout by Diafullah Dobashi, AIWF Northwest Champ during his promo on Saturday…this is awesome, it happens towards the end:
On Friday, BJ admitted that he has a playlist on his iPOD for when him and his wife are getting intimate...it's called BJ's Boom Boom, and we played a song on the playlist called Voulez-Vous by Arling & Cameron:
Based on the fact that BJ has a Boom Boom playlist on his iPOD…what song or artist do you play to get in the mood? Here are the texts we got:
My wife gets hot and ready for action when she listens to Godsmack especially their song Voodoo, everytime she hears it I know I'm getting some, every time
I like crackin a beer and puttin on some skynard during sexy time. Benefits of bein on bottom!
Rammstein or nightwish for boom boom time Bj rules
We have our morning "boom boom" to the bj experience :-)

I play Stairway to Heaven. I never make it past the intro.
Today's video blog features us checking out the Rock Girls in bikini's, and we have a couple visitors that brought cup cakes!
Man today was an awesome day…I talked to a guy that is an actual inspiration to me…granted he inspires me to do silly stuff, but I appreciate it. We had the host of Trip Flip on today, Bert Kreischer. Bert is seriously one of the funniest dudes ever…and not only do I love his new show (on the Travel Channel on Thursday nights), but I loved his last show, Bert the Conquerer. In that show he would check out rollercoaster and rides across the country, as well as check out some random extreme stuff that is done nearby the park he is visiting. For instance, here he is on the Max Air at Cedar Point:
While we had Bert on, he said that when he signed on for the show…he never rode a rollercoaster, so his reactions were 100% real. Thanks to Bert doing these rides, that was why I “man’ed up” and rode a few coasters while we were in Orlando…now I am such a fan that my wife and I are hitting Disneyland and more in Anaheim next month!
On Bert the Conquerer…he also inspired me to do the Hell Run in September, as he did a similar run, I think it was called the Tough Mudder, on the show. So thank you Bert for bring out an adventurous side. Granted he’s done other stuff I won’t ever do…like fight a bear, rob a train with the Russian mob, or be a dominatrix gimp! Yes, he actually did these. I love his stories on Joe Rogan’s podcast! The crazy part is that I remember reading about Bert back when I was in college…in 1997, Rolling Stone did an article about the #1 Party Animal In The Nation…and it was Bert, due to his crazy antics while at Florida State University. This actually led to Oliver Stone buying the rights of his story to make a movie, only for that to fall apart…and eventually the idea was lifted and changed up a bit to become the movie Van Wilder! BJ brought up a great point, Bert is a party animal…loves to have fun, yet he is successful and gets his job done…when asked how he was able to do this when so many partiers cant…he said “I just stay away from the coke.” Classic!!! If you can’t tell, I am a huge Bert fan from this blog posting alone. Hopefully bert will make it to town soon to do a comedy show, as he is a comedian as well…he is in Seattle right now, to film another show for the Travel Channel called “Best Of The Road”, which will air July 25th.
A while back we joked about how the term “Beat The Producer” could have a different meaning besides being our awesome trivia game we play every morning…it has a slight “alone time” vibe to the title. I’m gonna just stay home & “Beat The Producer”. Michael was inspired by our dumb comments and drew up an amazing piece of art…check it out:
Speaking of listeners…props to Fro Blo, a buddy to the station…we love seeing him and his huge afro at events…he just got a tattoo, and check it out…way to represent bro!
So I have shared video's of Lulu in the past...but this could be the funniest video ever! She just got out of the shower, and this is how she dries up. My wife sent me this, and I couldn't stop laughing...
Today's Video Blog features a Batman App that Vicky has, plus we check out video of Geoff Tate of Queensryche (formerly) spitting on their drummer Scott Rockenfield. Wow!
Sony and Nielsen have collaborated on a study to determine the "most impactful televised events" in history . . . and the September 11th attacks came in at #1. The goal of the study was to determine an "Impact Score" to show which events "caused visceral reactions that are embedded in our memories." They figured out how many people watched each event live, asked people if they remembered details about what they saw . . . and asked if they remembered talking about watching it with others.
Here's the Top 20:
1. The Attacks of 9/11 (2001)
2. The Levees Breaking During Hurricane Katrina (2005)
3. The O.J. Simpson Verdict (1995)
4. The Challenger Space Shuttle Disaster (1986)
5. The Killing of Osama bin Laden (2011)
6. The O.J. Simpson White Bronco Chase (1994)
7. The Japan Earthquake (2011)
8. The Columbine Attacks (1999)
9. The BP Gulf Oil Spill (2010)
10. Princess Diana's Funeral (1997)
11. The Death of Whitney Houston (2012)
12. The Capture and Execution of Saddam Hussein (2006)
13. Barack Obama's Acceptance Speech (2008)
14. The Royal Wedding (2011)
15. The Assassination of John F. Kennedy (1963)
16. The Oklahoma City Bombing (1995)
17. The Bush / Gore Election Results (2000)
18. The L.A. Riots (1992)
19. The Casey Anthony Verdict (2011)
20. The Funeral of John F. Kennedy (1963)
The list is full of negative stuff, as that stuff sticks with us…but I would like to think of a more positive impactful moment, and I’m shocked that the most impactful TV moment in my eyes didn’t make the cut. What is it you ask?
I know you are think I’m kidding…but I remember watching that as a kid, and that moment made me a wrasslin’ fan for life…pretty impactful if you ask me. What would you put on the list? Here are some of the texts we got:
Watching them tear down the berlin wall

We received this email from Jessica…
BJ – did you listen to Steve’s latest podcast? In it he admitted to something so strange, I know you will have a field day with it. He says that he doesn’t want to dispose of Lucy’s last “droppings” to pay tribute to her. I thought that would be a great topic, as my husband still has his dead grandma’s purse in the closet and his dead dog’s brush too. I think it’s weird, but he says that he keeps them in memory of them. I’m sure there are some great stories of Rock-A-Holics that keep stuff as a memento.
So this did lead to some texts about what I am doing…and some suggetstions on what I could do…
Steve: just take a photo of it... That way you can keep the poo, yet not.
Plant a tree in the poo
Dude, Steve..... That sounds like a crappy memorial.
Steve. Get it cast in bronze then you can leave her "dropping" in the yard and it will last forever
Plant something after the droppings decompose.
Use the droppings to grow magic mushrooms
Great idea. My grandmas passing away soon. I'll be sure to ask her for a duece.
He should freeze the duke with nitrisoxside and then spray paint it gold
Jessica’s idea was a great topic this morning: What odd thing do you keep in memory of something? It can be for something living or dead…here are the texts:
I've got my Grandma's, grandpas, moms, and dads glasses. And Grandma was known for her hair, so I have a lock of it as well.
ok so my uncle used to work for a meat packing company and he is gone now. So, I have a freezer in my garage with about 5 packages of steak he brought to me
We have our dead Gerbil in our freezer with our booze. Its fun to offer someone a ice cream bar and whip him out lol Holmes
I saw Toppy at a Hooters watching football. When he left i snagged one of the bones from the chicken wings he was eating as a cool momento
My fathers watch that was on his wrist when he was killed In a car wreck the strap is broken and it stopped on the time of the accident
My friend kept an empty YooHoo bottle, drank by Steve, at a "Peter Parker "show at Capitol Theater in Olympia. She also kept some toilet paper thrown by Sean Nelson of "Harvey Danger" from the same concert.
I have a piece of every rocket or bomb that almost killed me during all my combat trips. It's a big jar of crap built up for the last 10 years
My mom keeps her dogs ashes... It's to the point that she had to hold the small shrine (wich contained the ashes) on her lap for the entire plane ride.
I have all son's baby teeth in my jewelry box. He is 23 now.
A prostetic leg Katie
My dog passed 6 mos ago. I still have her dog bed on the floor next to mine. Just dont have the heart to move it yet. I guess that would make it too real.
I have my dead great grandfather's cowboy boots. He's been for 20 years.
I still have the sweat shirt my buddy got murdered in.
When my dogs pass I keep their collars separate never to be used on another dog. Name tags still attached.
My aunt keeps her birds that die, she freezes them in a chest freezer, there's a reason I don't communicate with her very much!
Today's Video Blog features a letter and package that Crazy Cheri sent us.
Today is July 11th…or 7/11, and it’s 7-Eleven's unofficial birthday, so free Slurpees are being offered to customers. 7-Eleven is celebrating today by handing out 7.11 ounce Slurpees from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. today at participating stores. Happy Slurpee Day y’all! I always hate the “participating stores only” line. I know why they have to say that, but if you own a franchise and aren’t participating with a big promotion the company is doing, you are the epitome of a party pooper. I have gone to many places, fast food chains, etc…and I always get this anxiety that this might be the store that isn’t participating…thankfully I have never experienced being told no, as they have always participated. I know, I live a blessed life.
35-year-old Alice Van Ness is a yoga instructor, and since March, she's worked in-house at Facebook's headquarters in California teaching weekly classes. That all ended a few weeks ago when Alice was FIRED . . . for telling a Facebook employee not to check Facebook during class. Alice was teaching when one female Facebook employee was typing away on her phone in the front row. Alice told everyone in class to turn off their phones . . . which, if you've ever taken yoga, is something ALL yoga instructors do. Halfway through the class, the woman picked up her phone and hopped back on Facebook. So Alice stopped teaching and glared at her until she put down the phone. The employee complained . . . and Alice was fired by Facebook's fitness contractor, Plus One Health Management. They say they fired her because she didn't meet their goal of, quote, "providing great customer service."
That’s so beyond ridiculous. I know this will come as a huge shock, but I don’t do yoga…however, my wife does, and from what she tells me…when you are in the yoga room doing tree impressions and other flexible stuff…you can’t just grab your phone and go on Facebook. The Yoga instructor was paid to be a Yoga instructor….this is just stupid.
Based on this…when have you or someone you know been fired for a ridiculous reason? Here are the texts we received:
Hey guys i was fired for showing up 15 Mins early everyday
I was a delivery driver and was fired for putting a scratch on the company car that the new girl let roll down a hill and hit another car. A scratch thatI didn't do at that. Oh well I moved on and got a better job 2 Weeks later.
I got fired for taking a crap in the women's bathroom in the cabana of the apartment complex i worked at. I put a closed sign on the bathroom but my female co worker still came into the bathroom. My friend was in the mens restroom next door and got fired too for not telling her i was in there.
I had to fire a girl in the 90's because the owner didn't like her "look". She was a very fun energetic quality employee. Lamest reason I ever had to use.
Little five foot me was terrified to walk two big bags of trash from coffer stand across a huge parking lot behind a mall in the dark so I left a note and said sorry I'll do it next day. Next day I wad left a voicemail saying i was no longer needed. =[ <3 rock girl Amanda
I work at a fast food place fired for eating a piece of cheese
Got fired for kissing my wife goodbye when she dropped me off for work
I got fired from another job for banging the boss's daughter
Did you guys hear about recently the lifeguard that saved a life and got fired for "going out of his zone" and then his fellow lifeguards quit in protest.
This could be the dumbest story…ever. Back on June 25th, 31-year-old Raymond Hodgson of England got into a fight with his girlfriend of five years, Emma McCormick. Emma wouldn't stop reading "Fifty Shades of Grey" . . . and Raymond thought it was pornographic and unrealistic. He went home . . . came back the next day . . . and angrily SQUIRTED HER IN THE FACE with steak sauce. He was arrested and charged with assault. Earlier this week, he pleaded guilty. His lawyer says, quote, "He regrets having done this, realizing how stupid it sounds. He didn't realize [it] would be classified as an assault." Raymond and Emma hadn't really spoken since the incident, but have started talking to each other again. The crazy thing is that I hear this book she is reading gets women all worked up. He should have let her keep reading it, so that they could eventually get frisky with each other, and then he can squirt something other than steak sauce! Waka Waka!
So this guy squirted Steak Sauce in his girlfriends face because she wouldn’t stop reading “Fifty Shades Of Grey”…based on this, finish this sentence…”I wish my significant other would stop doing _____.” Here are the texts we received:
I wish my girlfriend would stop screwing my sister.
Stop breathing
I wish my significant other would stop correcting my grammar. If you know what I meant then who cares. If I wanted an English teacher I'd go back to school.
I wish she would stop using metal utensils in our expensive ass pots and pans.. scratching the hell out of them.. Turtle
Talking to her ex. they have been apart for 5 years and he lives in wisconsin. despite them being good friends it still gets under my skin.
I wish my significant other would stop saying the phrase I have to go potty like she's a 3 year old
I wish my hubby would stop saying he is oversexed. 6 days a week is a healthy relationship I would say. After 11 years together and two small children, he should be grateful. But apparently he is tired.....lol I love Steve!!!!!meow!
Checking her facebook every 5 minutes on her cellphone... Kelly Auburn, wa
I wish that my husband would stop leaving his dirty laundry everywhere. It drives me crazy.
Today's Video Blog is an Intern Challenge! Our intern Daron has 60 seconds to find a random person finish the first line of Sir Mix A Lot's "Baby Got Back"...will he do it?
We received this letter through Facebook…it’s a heavy letter, but it’s one of those moments where I am humbled by what I get to do for a living. The fact that we can affect people in such a way is amazing. Yet another example of why I love what I get to do for a living…the opnly complaint I have about the job are the days where the Rev ate greasy food the night before, and he crop dusts the hallway with his moldy burrito smelling arse. Ok….I’m off subject, here is the letter:
Dear Steve, Bj, and Vicky,
I just wanted to let you know how special you guys are to my family and I are. You were kind enough to let us bring my son to see the show, but due to car problems we could not make it. Well we were planning on trying to get back in sometime this summer but unfortunately my husband passed away on June 18.
I just want you guys to know how much he loved your show. We spent alot of early morning hours listening on the way to dialysis and doctors appointments. Between the two of us we always beat Steve! Looks like I will have to do it by myself. Lol.. Listening to you guys in the morning would truly help us start our day. And when we had late afternoon doctors appointments, The Mensroom helped us cope with those.
I know that some people think you guys are "just a radio show" but to us it was a distraction from the challenges of the day. My husband was a man who loved to laugh and that's pretty much how we dealt with so much illness. Thank you for helping us to laugh and please thank the Mensroom crew for their help as well. When things calm down a bit I would like to try and bring my son back to see you guys if that would be ok. Thanks for all the laughter you guys! You truly helped us.
Joyce
I post this letter because I hope that you guys keep Joyce and her family in your thoughts!
A friend posted this picture on Facebook…wow! Do I feel old. This picture is from over 11 years ago…the Seattle Times did an article on my old band, Peter Parker, and how we sell music online. I have hair…on my head…and a ton on my arms. Plus my arms are practically tattoo free! Wow.
So BJ read a story this morning about how a group of researchers have done the research to prove that Batman wouldn’t really be able to fly with his cape. Are you serious? These researchers should be fired. What’s next? Will they find an Italian plumber named Mario to jump on a mushroom to see if he gets an extra life? I like what one texter wrote:
Next we will hear aquaman cant talk to fish
In a new study, researchers had 120 couples keep journals about their fights, and how often they apologized to each other. And they found people only apologize for 31% of the stuff they really SHOULD apologize for. That means about seven out of 10 fights don't end with someone saying "I'm sorry" . . . and it can lead to a lot of built-up frustration and serious problems over time. The researchers found the main reason people don't apologize is . . . they don't think it's going to work anyway. In couples where both people are very satisfied, apologies end fights . . . in other couples; they really don't have much of an impact because the apologies are usually interpreted as being insincere.
Based on this…it could apply to anyone in your life…what is something you need to apologize for, but never have? Or…what is something that someone needs to apologize to you for, but never has? Here are the texts we received:
My ex cheated on my bday. We broke up but wish he would aplgze. :-(. This after having an 8year relationship. What a jerk huh. I love your show. Dee
I burned my girlfriends parents porch down last summer by accident with a cigarette and forgot to apologize for almost a year after. -shane
Adam in Kirkland says: I apologize for still being alive every day to my wife...
I need to apologize to my ex for sleeping with his two best friends, while still having a sexual relationship with him. We broke up a while ago and i have never apologized for that.
I helped my neighbor finish restoring his 1968 charger, got done painting it and I crashed my bike right in the side of it I ran home and never looked him in the eye
Match.com just released the results of a major survey on eating, drinking, and dating. Here are five of the highlights . . .
1. 23% of both single men and women say it's a turn-off if their date doesn't have anything to drink.
2. But . . . 70% of women say it's a BIG turn-off if their date drinks more than they do.
3. 30% of meat eaters say they wouldn't date a vegetarian . . . only 4% of vegetarians say they wouldn't date a meat eater.
4. 19% of people would stop dating someone who refused to cook or didn't know how to cook.
5. And for some reason, 4% of people say it's a TURN-ON if their date flirts with the waiter or waitress.
23% of people say it’s a turn off if you don’t drink on a date…based on this…what did she or he do on a date that turned you off? Or what did you do that you are certain turned your date off? Here are the texts we received:
Women who agree to a date but act like your still trying to get her to go out...even while on the date example: play hard to get so aggressively that we cant even get to know each other.... I go to the bathroom and never come back...its just not worth it at that point.
Having to be drunk to have fun is a real turn off! He should be fun sober as well!
I knew my date was doomed when we went to see lion king and he started to laugh hysterically and I mean out loud busting a gut laughing when the dad died. Jackie in Oak Harbor
On a first date i got a picture message of his johnson when he went to the bathroom. I laughed and left
I purposly turned a date of because I didnt like her, by belching and farting multiple times during dinner. Went out with the sister next week. Awesome!
All she did was talk about her ex's and how bad they were
Adam in Kirkland says: I noticed my date had super expensive Fendi glasses, I'm sure it turned her off when I asked if it'd be cheaper to tint the kitchen window
It's a big turn off for me if the woman pays for dinner.
I asked for scissors so I could cut a hole in the bottom of our popcorn bucket
She told me I had 'bedroom eyes'.....but I wasn't that interested, so I told her she had 'bathroom breath'.....the date ended abruptly..... Lone Wolf
When I was stripping in college, I went out with a guy who took me to a strip club for our first date. He said he wanted me to feel comfortable in familiar surroundings. I left about an hour into our "date"...with one of the grrls.
Today's Video Blog features BJ trying to finally show everyone my "creepy look". So they put the camera on me and talked about sex, and here is the result:
Sad news to report…actor Earnest Borgnine passed away at the age of 95. For many of you younger folk, you probably don’t know who he is…but he was the voice in SpongeBob SquarePants. Ok, he was in more notable stuff, hell he even won an Oscar…back in 1955! BJ listed off a bunch of movies & TV shows he was in (From Here to Eternity, McHale’s Navy, The Dirty Dozen, Airwolf, etc)…but I haven’t seen a single one of them. However…I do remember this interview he did, where Earnest probided the best advice on how to stay young!
Howie Mandel called the cops early yesterday morning because a man and a woman were having SEX in his bathroom. Howie threw a 4th of July party on Wednesday, and it must have been a good one, because it was still going on at 1:00 A.M. Thursday morning. That's when Howie heard sounds of lust coming from the bathroom. Hmmm... “Squeal or No Squeal”? Waka Waka! Apparently, Howie thought there might have been a sexual assault in progress, so he called 911. The cops came and found a man and a woman, both 21 years old, in the bathroom. Turns out it was consensual. This is crazy…first off… 21? Howie if 56! Getting down with the younger kids huh Howie? Plus…isn’t Howie a germaphobe? This must drive him nuts!
So Howie Mandel caught 2 people having sex in his bathroom…based on this…when have you caught someone in the middle of the “act”? Where were you? Here are some of the texts we got:
On the bank of mineral lake while fishin.
In the Mosh pit during Hole. Took everything I had to keep them from bumping in to me
In a car outside of a party by a son of a cop who was in the process of becoming a cop with a girl that he was in love withyou (my girlfriend) . He did the "cop knock" with a police issue flashlight.

1. A cruise around the world.
2. Visiting all seven continents, including Antarctica.
3. Sailing the Mediterranean on a private yacht.

What about you? What is your lifelong dream vacation? Here are the texts we got:
Round the world cruse on the queen Mary 2. It's designed like a classic ocean liner, plus it goes to hot and cold places so there is something for everybody.
Funny thing is, Id like to take a trip through Steves imagination...what a tripped out, twisted, screwed up place thatd be. Perfect Vaca for this cublical driver.
Eastern Europe. Having seen most of the world in the Navy and college, I have yet to see the east block. Czech beer is supposed to be amazing.
Calgary, preferably during the Stanley cup finals with the flames playing.... And winning... Love Chadd
All inclusive week at The Bunny Ranch.
Dream vacation- a month on a deserted island with a sailboat a beautiful lady, pound of high grade weed & a 50 gallon barrel of pirate rum and a fishing pole. ;{
The best trip for me would be flying down to Peru to meet up with like minded people and a shaman to take a DMT trip with auyasca. Apparently it's a healing and soul searching experience while being able to explore the country and maybe try some of those coca leaves everyone is always jacked up on!! The total cost for room & board, 5 nights, flight and sight seeing would cost 1900.
A playoff game at Lambeau Field. Im a diehard Packers fan. Jimmy the Produce Guy
An American road trip. From washington state to new York, down to Florida, over to California, back up to Washington. MURICA!
Today's video blog features a couple guests that came in from Utah, and they brought gifts!
Sadly on Tuesday, July 3rd my pup, Lucy, passed away. She had a seizure and quickly passed away soon after that at the very young age of 7.
I'm devastated by this and I know for people that aren't "dog people" (or pet people for that matter) won't understand this, and I get that. For those that know where I'm coming from, you understand why this hurts.
I remember getting Lucy 7 years ago from a real nice family from Spanaway, and for the next 7 years my life was enriched by her spirit. Lucy didn't have a mean bone in her, my wife and I would always joke...she's all heart, no brains. In all honestly, she was a smart pup...she learned quickly and was the perfect dog.
For 7 years, I have been through a lot...the passing of important family members, the loss off a job, and many other life hurdles that many of us experience. The one thing I could always rely on, the one thing I could count on, was the second I opened the door...Lucy was there, full of excitement that "dad" was home. Any negative mood that might be in me would vanish immediately once I got to see my pup.
Thank you for all the great messages, your words helped these last couple of days. I read them all, and I thank you all. I am humbled by what you wrote, and touched that Lucy had an impact on you, through my stories.
I'm going to miss you Stinky, thankfully I got so many memories with you that the stories will last a lifetime, but selfishly I wish you were still right here by my side, I could always count on that!
I am so damn excited for today! Mayhem Festival, and I finally get to see Anthrax live! This is huge for me…I have been a fan of this band since I was a teen…for about 25 years I have rocked out to their music, and I have never seen em live…until today!!! Sadly Charlie Benante, their drummer, is nursing a hand injury and they have Jason Bittner, the drummer of Shadows Fall filling in, a solid replacement, but I am a huge fan of Charlie’s and was excited to see him play the double bass like none other! The closest I got to see Anthrax live was when their singer Joey Belladona was doing a solo tour and played a Studio 7 many years ago…it was awesome because all he played was Anthrax songs! So to get me ready, I put Among The Living on as I drove in…and turned it up real loud for this one:
Then I get to work this morning, and I listened to this calming song to get ready for the day:
Have I mentioned I am excited for the Mayhem Festival today?
Many people are excited for tomorrow, as it’s the 4th Of July. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission just did a federally-funded study on fireworks injuries, and found the month with the highest number is July. Wow…they should fire the people that decided to do this study! Did we need a study to confirm that Fireworks are used the most in…JULY?!?!?! Here are some of their other findings:
--65% of all fireworks injuries in the country happen this month. Last year, four people were killed and more than 9,600 were injured.
--Adults ages 20 through 44 are most likely to get injured by fireworks. Men are more likely to get hurt setting off fireworks themselves . . . women are more likely to get hurt at public firework displays.
Based on this, we had to ask…when did the 4th go horribly wrong for you or someone you know? What is your 4th Of July horror story? Here are some of the texts we got:
Huge cake tipped over and shot 20 mortars at a group of little kids and parents. They were not happy with me
Got drunk with my parents 4 the 1st time then my dad blew his thumb off. Lol!
3 years ago me and my cousin were making a bunch of sparkler bombs, well he lit 1 that blew up right in his face. He lost 25% of his hearing and will always have a rock embeded in his arm
A bottle rocket fell over and shot my mom in the stomach!
Had a mortar blow up underneath the chair my girlfriends mom was sitting in!
About 8 years ago, a neighbor a few houses down from me, set his roof on fire with illegal mortars. $22,000 in damage. Hilarious!
We bought 7 bricks of sparklers to make a sparkler bomb and set it under a bucket lit it and couldn't run fast enough and a piece of the bucket shot into my leg
A sparkler once burned off all my pubic hair...don't ask how. The memory is still too painfull. Kirk.
I hate fireworks. Ive done time in Iraq and Afghanistan and have taken more rocket and mortar fire than i can count. I just dont like things that sound like explosions. I have panic attacks and become hyper-alert, like im waiting for an attack. Crazy, right? Incedentally, the bad guys know about Independence day and always gave us some 'fireworks' to help celebrate when i was deployed. Cheers! -Greg on JBLM
A few yrs ago we set my friends grandma on fire. We lit multiple mortars,1tube fell over,it went off right under grandmas chair! Melted her pants but she was ok
My buddies thought it was a brilliant idea to fire roman candles from their butts and three of them spent the nest twenty four hours with first degree burns to their taints and boys. Drew.
Ok…seriously, what the hell is going on in this world…we have another story of a guy that tried to eat someone’s FACE! This time it’s not in Miami…it’s in China. The guy is a bus driver…he was getting wasted with some buds, and then decides to run off and jump on a woman’s car and try and eat her face. I can’t make up crap like this. I can’t make up his name either – Dong! And I can’t make up her name: Du. So Dong tried to eat Du! This is so wrong, I shouldn’t laugh…but the names make me chuckle. So I read that Dong jumped in front of a woman's car, hopped on the hood and starting pounding on the woman's windshield. Du got out, and the man tackled her and began chewing on her face. People tried to stop the attack, but Dong overpowered them in his crazy state! The woman was taken to a local hospital with tears to her lips and nose and would need plastic surgery to repair her face. Or as BJ put so tactfully…Du didn’t like Dong on her face. Wow!
A couple of weeks ago, a 20-year-old man from Illinois was asleep in bed, naked. He woke up and saw a spider in his bed. And he freaked out. Still half-asleep, he jumped up and sprinted out of the house. He was groggy enough that he didn't notice his glass door was still closed...so he plowed right through it. Then he kept on running through town, naked and bleeding. The cops got a few calls about a guy streaking and they tracked him down. A spokesman says they don't believe there was any alcohol or drugs involved...just a tired guy who freaked out when he saw a spider. The man was treated for several cuts to his body from running through the glass door. He's not looking at any criminal charges.
Based on this story about a guy that got freaked out by a spider…what freaks you out? What did you or someone you know have a massive freak out about? Here are the texts we received:
So I'm army infantry, I consider myself quite the badass. However I went and saw Paranormal Activty 3 and it scared me so bad I stood up in my seat screaming at the screen, the whole theater was laughin their asses off at me. My voice was gone by the end.
In iraq in 2004 me and my buddies were sitting behind our truck behind some sandbags in our tent. A camel spider the size of a dinner plate ran across the top of the sandbags in front of us and i jumped up and down screaming like a lil girl. My team leader wouldnt let me shoot it and threatened to take away my weapon.
My sister,was watching TV,and it was Americas funniest home video's, and they showed a man trying to catch a spider in austrailia,and. It jumped at him,a nd she dreamed bloody murder,and freaked us all out lol
I freaked out when i realized the front door was cracked open and my 2yr old daughter was missing in january/snow. Called 911 found her 2 blocks away.

When I was 7, I walked in on my parents having sex....doggy style
Woody in Renton- had a bad trip on shrooms in the woods. Stripped down in a feild and waited for friends and family to have a intervention. Thought people could read my mind and it was raining.
Never eat a pot brownie unless you know how strong it is. A buddy gave me one on the way to a sounders game, and I spent the whole match paranoid that he was planning on killing me later. -the DV
I had a buddy that swore he had a fear of ketchup. my friends and I never believed him until we pranked him in high school and he screamed like a littl e girl while he fled the cafeteria.
I freaked out when Frank Mir broke Noguera's arm in UFC -â real stuff -â GERALD
Today's video blog features Mono Nick trying to check out the Great Wheel at Pier 57 before it was open to the public. The key word is "trying". Props to our intern Daron, as he shot and edited this video blog.
So over the weekend BJ & Mono-Nick were at the Mariners games since the red Sox were in town. I wasn’t there, but I did get this Tweet from Katie…she is a great listener of the show (and of the STP-CAST), and she was there showing support for our new shirt (which can be found in the Rock Shop at KISW.com)…check it out:
#BLD!
I was at home…watching something far more entertaining on TV…WWE 24/7 On Demand on X-FINITY. They had a great documentary on “The American Dream” Dusty Rhodes. Man, I forgot how great The Dream was…not only in the ring, but on the microphone. This clip is over 20 years old…but I’m ready to vote for him for president on this clip alone!
There is a new show on HBO called The Newsroom, which is about a fictional news channel. Jeff Daniels stars as anchor Will McAvoy, and in the first episode, the show created a buzz because of a scene where his character says that, “America’s not the greatest country in the world anymore.” Daniels character was asked by a college student why America is the best country in the world and here is his response:
Worst Period Generation Period Ever Period. That is a classic line!
Based on this clip from The Newsroom where Jeff Daniels character says that America is not the greatest country in the world anymore…what do you think? Is America the greatest country? Why or why not? Here are some of the Texts we got:
We are the best cause we can have a show that can and will point out our countrys faults and failures. Jason in port orchard.
America is back to back world war champions.. Thats why were number one
America is the greatest nation in the world because of our freedom to choose idiocy.
BJ we are the most powerful country in the whole world. We have the best base from our founders also have volunteers to literally die for our country. No one else has that. Freedom, we have the most freedom in the world. That's power.
Will mcavoy's feelings mirror my own. We have so many problems we don't know where to start. -Steve the Weatherman
Of course we are. We created buffalo wild wing and laser tag. Next. -the DV
Sure, statistically we suck, but one thing that makes us great is that we have a lot of rights that other countries cannot do, such as free speech
We were the greatest country until the god damn hippies came. The counter culture set us back decades in progress in raising kids and moving forward
The mere fact that statements like that can be made without fear of reprisal proves to me we are the greatest nation in the world. As a military veteran of more than 20 years I have been to many countries where statements like that could lead to incarceration or worse. Just knowing we have that guaranteed freedom speaks for itself. David from Gig Harbor
I think we are slipping. Because a great portion of the public want things givin to them. And the kids today think they are entitled to everything. Very few are willing to work for what they want. Come on step up and take responsablitiy for yourself!
Come on everyone. We used to be the best but that time has gone . . I personaly feel we are headed for a future of misery in this country. We are probably closer to the third greatest. But the whole world will eventualy be destroyed anyway. So i say get a comfortable chair and watch. And while you are waiting listen to Kisw ;{
Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee would like his fans to know two things: He LOVES you . . . but NO, he won't take a picture with you. Seriously. So stop askin'. Tommy explained his rationale in a long post on the band's Facebook page. Basically it boils down to this: He says, "I f****** LOVE my fans! . . . What I have a problem with is: Taking pictures! I hate it! [It] irritates the f*** out of me when people say 'You owe it to your fans, they put you where you are.’ I certainly don't owe anybody anything! When I bought all my Led Zeppelin records and concert tickets, I didn't say, 'One day these f****** are gonna owe me a picture. It's the least they can do for me!' What the f***, people? I'm not here to take pictures with you, I'm here to entertain you! Nobody put me where I am but ME! . . . What I do owe myself and others is being THE BEST I can be! People do we really need a silly picture? For what bragging rights? Really? Who f***** cares!"
I kind of understand where he is coming from, although I think he is a douche for thinking like that. I am not an autograph kind of guy, but I do like getting pix with celebrities I like…I makes for a great way to document a cool moment. The funny thing is that I once had a picture with Tommy Lee, and I was so stoked I had it…until some crack head broke into my car, and stole a bag out of my car that had the picture in it. This was from the olden days when you didn’ty have a Myspace or Facebook to post them on…it was a picture I just developed too! Now I’m screwed…Tommy doesn’t like getting pictures taken with him!!! That is one of my favorite parts of the job, is that I have had the fortunate opportunity to meet some of my all time celebrities…so I figured I would share some of them with you…
First of…I know this is shocking…but a lot of my favorite poictures are with wrestlers! I grew up and still am a huge WWE fan…so any chance to meet a past or current Superstar is pretty damn awesome…this one is a huge fave as I got to hold the championship belt…with Daniel Bryan:
Of all the pix with wrassler’s this one stands out…it was with Jake The Snake Roberts…I asked him to jokingly choke me, but I have to say, he still applied quite a grip:
Meeting the Hulkster was a surreal experience…
John Cena couldn’t have been a nicer dude:
Meeting my favorite rock stars has been high on my list too…this one takes the cake. Being a huge Guns N’ Roses fan…getting to meet my drumming idol, Steven Adler was an awesome moment!
I grew up loving Metallica, and I am still a fan…getting to spend some time with Lars & Kirk was pretty damn cool:
Since High School, I have been a huge fan of Alice In Chains…so the fact that I got to interview and watch them perform on the side of the stage one night was like I was in a dream…here I am with my wife, and one of the coolest bands ever!
There have been a few film stars that have walked in the studios…and this one was my all time fave…it’s Dewey Cox after all…John C. Reilly:
One night I hosted a Q & A for the film Get him To The Greek, and afterwards I got to hang with Russell Brand, and to this day I say he was the nicest & coolest Hollywood guy I have met!
Speaking of film stars…these ladies we also a lot of fun to have in studio…Stoya, Riley Steele, and Jesse Jane!
But of all of the celebrities I have met…none will compare to meeting the IHOP Pancake!
Our intern Daron has a cool picture…he got to meet Roger Daltry of The Who!
So, Tommy Lee says he doesn’t want to have his picture taken with you…based on this…when have you been blown off by a celebrity…or…what is the coolest picture you have with a celebrity? Here are the texts we got:
