Today’s Video blog is the third trailer for "DONKEY" -- the upcoming film about the most elite beer league hockey team…the team I play on...the Tacoma Donkeys. Keep up on the Donkeys here:
Thanks to everyone that came out to the ShoWare Center on Saturday afternoon for the second annual “Donkey Show”! For the second year, we played our buddies in Buffalo Wild Wings, and hopefully those that came enjoyed the game as we were victorious! It was a party from the minute we got there. As I pulled up to the ShoWare Arena, I noticed our mascot “DP” (Donkey Punch)…walking to the front of the arena….
What was he doing? Trying to get more people to watch us play of course…
If you can’t read that sign….
The game was fun, and win or lose…I feel like both teams won…it was a chance for all of us top play on some awesome ice…and a chance for our friends and family to watch what all of us love to do.
Afterwards we hit up the Ram, had some Fireball shots and then went and watched the T-Birds lose!
Last night we had another game…all of us were a little hungover, yet we were still able to win…Donkeynation is running wild. Even if we were hurtning…it was nothing compared to how our mascot was doing at the game last night!
We hoipe to have another game at ShoWare before the T-Birds season ends, possibly in February! If you haven’t done so yet…find us on the social networks:
According to a new study, the average worker wastes one hour and nine minutes at work every day. But only FOUR of those minutes are wasted on social media sites. Here's what we're ACTUALLY wasting time on . . .
1. Waiting for other people.
2. Doing work that ends up not being used.
3. Sending and replying to emails.
4. Taking care of personal business.
5. IT issues and computer problems.
The study also found that about one in 20 workers admit they don't really have enough work to do . . . and waste about TWO HOURS a day.
The average worker wastes one hour and nine minutes at work every day…what about you? What do you do at work that is an absolute time waster? Here are the texts we got:
Every day I spend at least an hour play Magic the Gathering –dubba
Wikipedia browsing is many kryptonite, once I start it'll be fifteen minutes by the time I realize it, and I have no idea how I got to the page I'm on. -the DV
The Chive. Probably the best site in the world.
I read the trivia out of the newspaper to all of my coworkers in the morning... it usually ends up wasting about a half an hour by the time we're all done chatting
We build giant paper airplanes and shoot em around the warehouse with giant rubberbands.
Me and my coworker hurry up and get done with our work then find local breweries to spend the rest of the day st until its time to clock out!
Last week, "Time" magazine released their year-end lists. Here are the showbiz highlights . . .
Best Movie: Their top two were movies you've probably never heard of: "Amour" and "Beasts of the Southern Wild". "Life of Pi" came in third.
Worst Movie: Despite the hype, "Cloud Atlas" landed at the top of this list, followed by the year's biggest bomb, "John Carter", and "Hyde Park on Hudson", in which Bill Murray played FDR.
Best TV Series: "Parks and Recreation" got the top spot, followed by "Louie" and "Homeland".
Best Songs: Usher took this one with "Climax" . . . followed by "Gangnam Style" by Psy, and Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe".
Time Magazine put out a list of the best movies, TV shows, music, etc of the year…what about you…whether it be TV, Music, movies, or anything else…what was the best thing of the year…what was the worst? Here are the texts:
Hands down the avengers and the walking dead! Awesomeness! ~biscuit :)

Today's Video Blog features me doing a little show prep for the final STP-CAST of the year, as we will chat with Mick Foley & Slash tomorrow! Check out those interviews on my podcast tomorrow which you will find here:
Yesterday I wound up watching this awesome documentary called Jiro Dreams Of Sushi. It’s about this 85 year old “sushi master” named Jiro. This is a crazy story…his restaurant only fits 10 people…but it’s 300 bucks a plate! Wow! Sadly I fell asleep while watching it…I was really tired yesterday afternoon. Thankfully I can finish watching it today…it’s on Netflix, which I am now able to watch thanks to my ROKU player. I’m telling you…if you need a cool X-Mas gift to get someone…a ROKU is awesome…you can stream hundreds of channels right on your TV…check it out at www.ROKU.com
Big win yesterday for the Donkeys…I mean really big, 18-5. The win is getting us ready for tomorrow’s big game at the ShoWare Center in Kent. Yes, the home of the T-Birds is the home of the Donkeys tomorrow afternoon. Feel free to come down…it’s free to see us, and we take the ice at 1:30 PM, doors open at 1 PM. If the main door isn’t open…try the door on the side…to the left if you are facing the arena (by the VIP parking lot). It will be a lot of fun…we will play…we will have a mascot…and after our game we will hit Kent Station and find a bar to hang out at until the T-Birds game later that night at 7 pm. They are taking on their rivals, the Portland Winterhawks…should be a great time. If you want to get discounted tickets to hang with us at the T-Birds contact Ross to get tix 253-856-6837 or raanenson@seattlethunderbirds.com
Did I mention we will have a mascot? Yes, “DP” – the Donkeys mascot will be there…just like last year when we had our first ever “Donkey Show” at the ShoWare.
HOLLY MADISON will give birth to a baby girl early next year, and she hopes her daughter doesn't follow her into the pages of "Playboy". Holly does NOT want her daughter posing nude because, quote, "I don't think people are treated with respect in that environment." She says, "I'm from a small town and you grow up seeing people like Jenny McCarthy or Pamela Anderson, who made it big after doing 'Playboy'. You think it's this glamorous thing until you realize how much you're judged for it. But she adds, "Luckily kids don't want to be like their parents, so I don't think she'll see anything cool or rebellious about posing for 'Playboy'. I'm down for whatever direction in life she wants to go but I think she can do better."
Talk about “do as I say…not as I do”!... …based on this, finish this sentence: “Even though I did it…I absolute do not want my kid to do _____.” Here are some of the texts we got:
I don't want my daughter smoke! Ever!
I'm covered in tattoos and I absolutely do not want my kids to get tattoos. Now that I know the stigma if I had it to do over again I would not of gotten all these tats and I don't want my kids to regret it like I do.

My dad Me not to drink orange juice because its too much sugar then he ate a brick of fudge.
Today's video blog features a visit from Mr. & Mrs. Claus!
Last night we watched the Blake Shelton Christmas special…I’m not a fan of his music, but I he is a funny dude…I wouldn’t mind posting up at a bar with the guy…I bet that would be a night of great stories. His Christmas special was actually really funny…one of my favorite parts was the clay-mation spoof he did with Larry The Cable Guy….

Today's video blog features BJ's "stash" of Zingers!
A little tired this morning, and I have a feeling every guy reading this is too. Last night at 10 pm many guys were glued to the TV and actually sat through music by Riohanna and justin beiber. Why? Because super hot Victoria Secret models were strutting around as they performed. I’ll spare you the Beiber song, but here they are as Rihanna sings….
Bazooka Gum is doing away with its famous comic-strip gum wrappers. The gum has been around since 1947, and each piece has been wrapped in a "Bazooka Joe" comic strip for the past 60 years. Next year they're coming out with new packaging . . . and the comic strips will be gone. Wow…that sucks…I remember dropping a nickel to get that gum…it was like chewing on hard cardboard with a slight bubble gum flavor…but we did it just for the comics. This led to us talking about those things that instantly take you back to your childhood…here are some texts we got:
What brings me back to being a kid is big league bubble gum. Used to try chewing the whole bag
Twinkies, but the SOBs got rid of those too.
Lawn Darts!
GI joes
Playboys, takes me back to when i foind them under my dads bed
I miss all the blue politically incorrect cartoons such as Popeye and Bugs Bunny
Rockem sockem robots

Saturday morning wwf - T bone Monroe
My world was crushed today. We were talking about that Michael Jackson song “Ben”, and all this time I thought it was about an actual pet rat that Jack-O had…I was so blown away by the lyrics that it was my favorite MJ song of all time (granted I am not much of a fan of his music, but on my short list that topped the list).
Well…it turns out the song wasn’t even written for him, and it was for that Willard movie about rats! Plus it wasn’t even meant for him…it was written for Donny Osmond, but he was on tour and couldn’t do it so they hit up Michael.
Well I guess that means that Pearl Jam’s song is now my #1 favorite song about rats!
CM Punk said that every guy should experience being in a fight…based on this…finish this sentence – “By the time you are an adult you should have experienced doing _____ at least once.” Or…when did you get into an actual fight…why? Here are the texts we received:
Women should all experience another woman too see what they are made of
You should experience doing a midget! Steve
It was awesome kickin a senior's ass while I was a freshmen. Manly I am!
Our intern, The Prodigy, has 60 seconds to find someone to let him sit on their lap, and he is only able to say... "Can I sit on your lap, Santa?"...Will he do it?

However…if you wanted to get a deal on the T-Birds that night as well…contact my buddy Ross at the T-Birds: 253-856-6837 or raanenson@seattlethunderbirds.com Here is the flyer with all the detailks…we hope to see you there on Saturday!
For the last 11 years, 52-year-old Chris Ninos has worked at an Internet marketing company called BMI Elite in Florida, and he's driven the same 15-year-old Ford with 99,000 miles on it. Chris is the hardest worker at BMI . . . he's always the first one to work and the last one to leave . . . and he calls to check-in on days off. So the CEO, Brandon Rosen, decided to reward him. Last Thursday, he told Chris he was having his car serviced, and asked if he could pick him up at the dealership on his way to the company's holiday luncheon. When Chris got to the dealership, Brandon was waiting with a brand new Ford Escape SUV. It's in Chris' name . . . not a company car . . . and BMI even threw in three years of service.
A boss rewarded his hardest-working employee with a new car…when has something like this happened to you? Whether it be at your job or anywhere else…finish the sentence: “I was once rewarded with _____”. Or… “I once rewarded someone with BLANK”.

According to a new "60 Minutes" / "Vanity Fair" poll on humor, JAY LENO is the funniest late-night host . . . "The Simpsons" is funnier than "Family Guy" . . . men are funnier than women . . . and "Seinfeld" is the greatest sitcom. Leno beat out DAVID LETTERMAN 24% to 13%. They were followed, in this order, by Jimmy Fallon, Conan O'Brien, Jimmy Kimmel and Craig Ferguson. “The Simpsons" beat "Family Guy" 36% to 30%. 22% of Americans said "Seinfeld" is the greatest sitcom, giving it a slight edge over "The Honeymooners", which got 16% of the vote. They were followed, in this order, by "Friends", "Cheers", "Arrested Development", "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and "30 Rock".
Based on this poll on humor…whether it be a TV show, a movie, a talk show or anything else…what do you think is the funniest thing you have seen? Here are the texts we received:
STP in a tight shirt! Sorry stp, loveya! ~Christine~
The movie baby makers was pretty damn funny.

Today's video blog is part 2 of our interview with JB Smoove (Leon Black on Curb Your Enthusiasm).
What an awesome weekend! It’s amazing how much better the weekend is after a Hawks win…and man was that a roller coaster of emotions during that game. One minute it looks like the team just can’t catch a break…from not being able to stop Brandon Marshall, to the refs pretty much calling everything against the Hawks. But then Russell Wilson ripped off his proverbial T-Shirt, said his prayers, ate his vitamins, and Russell-Mania ran wild in their final drive…putting the team on his back leading them to a touchdown…and a victory. So we thought! Then with 24 seconds left in the game Cutler throws a bomb to Brandon Marshall, and the game is tied with a field goal with seconds left. Overtime. Just like when the Hulkster was getting beat down and would eventually lift his arm to get pumped…Russell-Mania did the same. Once again talking the lead, and leading his team down the field…and BAM…TD pass to Sidney Rice. Wow…what a win. You know who was excited besides me? Their biggest fan…Lulu!
After that win, and a 49’ers loss…how crazy is this? The Seahawks could win the NFC West — granted it’s a long shot, as they would have to win out the rest of the season (including a game against the 49’ers) and the 49’ers would need to lose to New England. It is do-able…the Hawks are playing all but one of their games at home, and that road game is against Buffalo but it’s in Toronto. To quote Russell Wilson… Go Hawks (I love that he says that after the interviews he does).
The night before the wife and I set up our Christmas tree. For those that were wondering, it’s fake…no not the dog, but the tree! We used to get a real tree, but a couple years ago we had a spider infestation…and that ended the real tree tradition.
We discovered an awesome Christmas music CD…typically we will listen to Michael Buble’s X-Mas CD…but this is our new jam!
My Zune cut off the title…it’s not Cee-Lo’s “Magic Mom” (although that would be a great name to a CD), it’s “Moment Of Magic”, and he nails so many of the Christmas classics! Here are a couple songs from the CD:
According to a new survey by the jobs website Glassdoor, 2% of workers say their TOP New Year's resolution for 2013 is to figure out a way to get their boss FIRED. Some people are taking a slightly less aggressive path, by just looking for a new job . . . 23% say their main goal is to find a new job. Of the people who are planning to actually stay at their jobs, 33% say their top resolution is to get a raise.
Based on this…have you ever gotten someone fired? Or…was someone responsible for you being fired? What happened? Here are the texts we received:
I set up a camera in the storage room and showed my boss a video of my supervisor smoking oxycontin during work. . . As a valet.
Got my x wife fired from her retail job. Would call once a week and complain to the manager. Then finally called the gm and complained he fired her that day awsome revenge
guy named Jones refused a trip because he had a dog at home. The boss confused my name, Jordan, with his and cut my contract off. He was too stubborn to sort out the confusion
Made a waitress quit just by ignoreinger her and it made her have a nervous break down
According to a new survey, about TWO out of FIVE people say their life has NOT MET their childhood dreams and expectations. I think they need to define what age is “childhood” – because if it is when we were really young, then I am one of those people that are not doing what I hoped as I am not Aquaman, an astronaut, or a fireman. However…when I was a little older (but still a kid), I wanted to grow up and be a broadcaster…so BooYa!
What about you? What did you think you would be doing, and what are you actually doing? Did you or did you not meet your childhood dreams and expectations? Here are the texts we got…
As a kid, I wanted to be in the Air force because That's what my uncle was doing at the time and it seemed cool since I love airplanes. I aged out of it in intermediate and high school. But I ended up in the Air force almost four years ago. Erik, stationed at McChord AFB. Hawaii native
I was hoping to be a rockstar, movie star, or even a police officer. Unfortunately due to my lack of motivation & drive, I drive autoparts around. -Marlow-
hell yeah I got my dream job ,when I was a kid I always wanted to be a police officer but I also like to scrounge stuff out of the garbage when I was a kid I would run around and follow the garbage man around and take the lids of the cans before they got there so here I am now a full fledged garbage man and loving it.
I knew I was gonna be an artist but I never expected to be a tattoo artist
I thought I was gunna be a cop.. Smoked too much pot so now I'm a security guard.
I wanted to be a rich male porn star, but I'm a production worker with a small penis
When I was little I wanted to be an Indian (native american) chief. My dad didn't have the heart to tell me then that I'm white.
When I was a little girl I LOVED wwf wrestling....I used to tell my mom I wanted to be just like chyna....dear lord.
I wanted to be Vicki B's chair.. I poppie
