Enjoy your 2009 glasses... it's the end of an era!

Thinking about New Year's Eve, I couldn't help but wonder what will happen to those stupid 200_ glasses that everyone has been wearing for the past 10 years. 2009 marks the last year that has 00 right in the middle - perfect for a pair of bloodshot eyes that have seen one too many Jägerbombs.

As I was Googling for a photo to go with my ramblings, I came across this article about how the guys who invented those glasses (someone actually invented these?) are now going out of business.

Happy Holidays!

Thanks for tuning in to WRRV this year,
Enjoy your holiday and have a happy new year!

It's official - "Star Wars: The Musical" is coming!

George Lucas is a turd. It's frustrating how someone with so much creative talent can make such horrible decisions... and be such a douche about it. I could count all of the ways he's destroyed the Star Wars franchise (Messing with episodes 4, 5 and 6. Jar-Jar Binks, The Clone Wars, The Star Wars Holiday Special) but Mr. Fat Turkey Neck has now soiled the Star Wars name so badly, Han Solo will no longer care who shot first... he'll just wish Greedo put him out of his misery back in Episode 4.

From eonline.com:
George Lucas has signed off on Star Wars: A Musical Journey, a two-hour live musical event featuring John Williams' Oscar-winning score.
Premiering next year in London's O2 arena, the production will be performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in synch with movie clips from the six live-action films. The show will play in chronological order, from The Phantom Menace to Return of the Jedi.

The production will blast off April 10 in the U.K. and then embark on a European tour, complete with an exhibition of rare Star Wars collectibles, including never-before-seen models, props, costumes and production artwork. No word when it will visit America.

Xmas gift from David Hasselhoff

There's probably someone on your Christmas list that you forgot to get a present for. Well, don't worry! Just download the I Heart The Hoff Super Fantastic Activity Book and print it out, whomever receives it will think you're the greatest. The book is full of fun games like the Hoff word search, find the Hoff and connect the dots to make your own Hoff. Who wouldn't want to get this? Return that Blue Ray player you got for your BFF and just give them the Hoff Activity Book... they will thank you!

Drunk CNN weather guy?

Rob Marciano is the weather guy on CNN. I guess people like him. There's even a site devoted to what he's wearing each day. Apparently, Rob likes to drink and hang out with girls. OK... I don't see a scandal here, but some website is all excited about having these not-so-incriminating photographs.

Now, if it was Wolf Blitzer in a three way with Larry King and a transvestite I could understand the controversy... And your welcome for having that image in your head for the rest of the day.

How to tell if she's a hooker or a cop


Hooker or Cop

Thundercats The Movie

This is a fake trailer to a fake move that took someone a year and a half to make. You have to really love the Thundercats (and have a pretty sad social life) to do something like this. That being said, the trailer is pretty awesome and it's too bad that the movie doesn't exist.

Sorry, there's no description that will do justice to this video

I'm afraid that this is what would happen to my aunt if she didn't have Fox News to watch all day long.

My aunt is gonna freak out, thanks Fox News!

I hate Fox News. Not because of their political agenda, but because they scare the crap out of my elderly aunt. All she does is sit home and play with her cat while watching Fox News, and every time I see her she is terrified about something she saw on that damn channel. First she was freaking out because they told her that her TV was going to blow up in February when all programming converts to digital. Last month she was convinced that Obama wasn't actually born in America and that his birth certificate was locked in some secret vault in Hawaii. Now I really can't wait for Christmas dinner, because I know she's going to be talking about how the FBI is listening to us RIGHT NOW!!! Good, let the FBI listen in... I'm sure they'd love to hear all about the litterbox habits of my Aunt's cat and how she heard that Hillary Clinton is actually a dude.

Why are you supposed to wear the Wii wrist strap?

Because this can happen...

So, I guess they only take cash

From WRRV listener Jimmy:

"This sign is in Bloomingburg, I asked the guy who printed up his sign and he asked why !!! Well it should be "accept" not "except" and yet he still didn't understand !!!! Oh well ....."

Everything is better with bacon

Bacon is awesome. From a side of bacon with breakfast to bacon on your burger to a bacon cheese roll, everything with bacon rocks. And now, you can even put bacon on your favorite website.

Just put the URL of any website at the end of http://bacolicio.us/ For example: http://bacolicio.us/http://www.wrrv.com

The Yule Log is coming!


On Christmas morning, Channel 11 will be airing the original Yule log from 9am-1pm. That's 4 hours of log! Apparently, Tribune Broadcasting has also produced a new HD log that it will be replacing the original log with on it's other stations across the country. But, fear not, the original will be airing on channel 11 here in New York.

Merry Christmas from Olivia Munn

If you're a nerd and you like girls you probably already know who Olivia Munn is. She co-hosts Attack Of The Show on G4. If you don't know what Attack Of The Show is - congratulations, you probably have lots of friends and do sports. For the rest of us, ATOS is a hour of geek porn. Video games, computers, gadgets, jokes that you wouldn't get and lots of Olivia Munn. Anyway, Olivia posted some holiday photos that geeks and non-geeks alike can enjoy this holiday.

Holiday stress reliever

You're probably running all over the Hudson Valley this week getting last minute presents, preparing for the holidays and getting ready to spend some time with those cranky old relatives.

You need to escape from the madness for two and a half minutes and watch this video to put the meaning of the holidays into perspective:

No birthday cake for Adolf Hitler

Here's a photo of little Adolf Hitler.
Brandi reported on the family's outrage that a local supermarket wouldn't print his name on a birthday cake. They also have other children named JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell.

I think it's safe to assume that the cake wasn't chocolate.

Hey, you smell like a Whopper

So, I'm assuming (hoping) that this is some sort of publicity stunt. Burger King has released a new scent called "Flame". According to the website it's for people who love Whoppers and it "captures the essence of that love and gives it to you. Behold the scent of seduction, with a hint of flame-broiled meat."

I know people who have worked at Burger King, and I would not describe the way they smelled after work as seductive... Anyway, if you're interested in smelling like cooked meat check out the website.

Snow delays today!

Looks like we have a massive list of 2 hour delays this morning, so I'm going to have to cut the website updates short and get my a$$ into the studio to start reading the list. I'll get back to the site later with more updates. Enjoy the morning off!

This is why Drew Carey should be fired

OK, this guy is in the showcase showdown... and guesses the EXACT amount of his showcase, winning both prize packages!!! This is practically IMPOSSIBLE to do. It hasn't happened since 1972... yet Drew couldn't care less and just stands there like a big fat lump. Man, if Bob Barker was still alive... uh, I mean if Bob Barker was still on the show... he would have gone ape s***. Drew's not even trying anymore. Come on, man!!! I know mostly 70 year olds watch TPIR, but some people have to stay home sick and the only bright spot in their day is tuning in and hoping to catch some Plinko! You act like you're the one that's been neutered.

Gunea Pig For Dinner?

This morning Brandi read a story about how people in Peru eat Guinea Pig. One of our listeners, Brian, sent instant feedback about how he at a Guinea Pig in Peru. It was prepared with a pepper in it's mouth and a fancy tomato hat. Well, Brian was kind enough to email me a photo. Check it out! Honestly, it doesn't look all that bad.

The Killers and Jimmy Kimmel

You probably missed this because, sadly, no one really watches Jimmy Kimmel... even though Jimmy has more funny in the tiny mole on his back than Jay Leno does in his enormous chin. Yet, Jay Leno gets his own prime time nightly talk show and all Jimmy gets is to host the American Music Awards, which is one step up from the Soul Train awards. So few people watch the AMA's that the musicians don't even show up to get their awards!

This is Jimmy and The Killers:

WRRV Beard Growing Competition - Week 4

This contest is killing me. Seriously. I don't think I can last much longer. My facial hair is coarse and nappy. My moustache is now long enough to cover my mouth and meet the hairs under my lower lip. And the only women who flirt with me now are middle aged women who probably think Magnum P.I. is the definition of sexy. Plus, I go to the dentist for a cleaning this week, and I'm grossed out to think about what that experience will be like with a big bushy beard and moustache. Simon, you are a stronger man than I.

Last week's photo

(Jeremiah was unavailable for this week's photo... but he is still suffering like the rest of us.)

Fallout from the Bush shoe attack

The internets were a buzz yesterday about the George Bush shoe-throwing incident. For the record, I was the first one to come up with the "Lame... DUCK!" headline, and was also the first to invoke Austin Powers ("Seriously, who throws a shoe!"). Check the timestamp on my original post... so there.

Anyway, there's already a video game based on the incident, and the animated gif's are starting to pop up everywhere. Here are two of my favorites:

The Three (4) Stooges:
And Austin Powers:

Little Gordon Ramsey

There are two types of people: People who think Gordon Ramsey is awesome and tells it like it is, and people who think he's an arrogant p***k who just goes off on people because of some sort of deep-seeded self esteem issues. I'm in the first group... I think the guy's a freakin' genius. If I could get paid to just yell at people all day I would be the happiest man alive. Sure, I get to yell at people... but it's only a small part of my job. If you watch Kitchen Nightmares or Hell's Kitchen, you know that yelling is pretty much all Gordon Ramsey does. Once a season he'll show people how to fillet a fish or cook risotto, but he's usually yelling while he's doing it.

Here's a commercial with some kid who does, as Gordon would say, a "spot-on" impersonation of him:


More: Apparently there are a series of these videos dining out and school lunch are pretty awesome.

Governor Patterson on SNL

Did you miss Saturday Night Live this weekend? The highlight was "Governor Patterson" interrupting Amy Pohler's farewell speech...



Apparently, Patterson wasn't amused. The "New York Post" cites a spokesman for Paterson as saying the governor was disappointed NBC's sketch comedy show resorted to offensive stock blind jokes. Paterson's representative said the skit ridiculed people with physical disabilities and implied blind people are incompetent in serious jobs. Advocacy groups for the disabled have also come out against "Saturday Night Live" for the Paterson skit and many other instances where they say blind people are mocked for their disability. Paterson's spokesman, who described his boss as a the kind of guy who can take a joke, said the governor, quote, "is sure that 'Saturday Night Live,' with all its talent, can find a way to be funny without being offensive."

Hey Boris,

Check out this pic. See anything wrong? Not only is this jackball illegally parked in a handicapped spot, he is illegally parked with WITHIN a handicapped spot! Good grief. I snapped this pic at the Hannaford's in Lagrange. You can put it on Blog Of Boris if you want.

See ya!

Horray for youuuuuuu!

This is a REAL infomercial.



If you're depressed and suicidal, don't you think that spending $25 on a recording of someone you don't know saying how great you are over fake applause would put you over the edge? I know it comes with "3 puzzle shaped affirmity tokens" but it probably should also come with a hose to attach to your tailpipe.

The top 20 cakes not made by Duff

I like watching that "Ace Of Cakes" show on Food Network. Not because I'm into cake making, but because I think it's pretty inspirational to see a bunch of stoners start a business that they were obviously high while creating, and become a huge success. Seriously, I get a contact high while I watch that show. That Geoff guy always looks soooooo stoned. And the fat Hawaiian looking girl spends 5 hours making fake lettuce for a hamburger cake that falls apart and she doesn't even care. I can guarantee you that the cakes aren't the only things baked at that place!

Anyway, here are some pretty awesome cakes that were NOT made by the stoners at Charm City.

Santa attacked by a bobcat!

I'll be honest, I'm a little creeped out by people who find it necessary to bring their pet to meet Santa. First off, your pet has no idea what the hell is going on. I know people think that their pet is the smartest animal on earth, but honestly - Rover only sees a red and white blob that is saying "mahblalbhahb". Secondly, what is your pet going to ask for for Christmas? It already gets free food and lodging and someone to pick up it's poop. Fido doesn't deserve a Christmas present, he's been mooching off of you way too long. Finally, get a life. There must be a thousand better things to do with your time than bring your animal child for a visit to Santa. How about finding a real child who's parents won't bring him to see Santa? Heck, you can even bring your spoiled little dog for the ride.

Anyway, one of these crazy animal people apparently almost killed Santa with their pet Bobcat..

Employees caught bathing in KFC sink!

I just finished posting about the newest trends in sexting when I open my email and see these camera phone photos of girls in bikinis. After careful examiniation, I realize that this is no sexting incident... it's a health code violation!

These girls are bathing in a KFC kitchen sink!!!!

Apparently, they all work at KFC and thought it would be fun to strip down and start swimming in the sink. I don't think I've ever been to a KFC and fantasized about the counter person rubbing their dirty body parts all over my bucket of original recipe. No wonder my chicken always tastes like Proactiv zit cream!

A trio of Anderson girls are in hot water with their fast-food employer for dipping themselves into the sink used to clean dishes. One of the girls bathing in the sink at the Anderson Kentucky Fried Chicken posted the photos on the Internet and after management learned of them, all three were suspended today, said Cheri, assistant manager at the restaurant. She declined to give her last name.

“The girls are being reprimanded for it,” Cheri said.

She said she learned of the photos, which had been posted publicly on the girl’s MySpace.com social Web site, during the dinner rush today.

The photos, which appeared to have been posted late last month, showed the girls bathing in the deep commercial sink and posing in their underwear and swimwear. “I was in shock when I saw it,” Cheri said.

Link to the full story

Word of the week: Sexting

If you've ever visited MySpace you know that teenage girls love to take dirty photos of themselves. Hell, Miley Cyrus has been doing it for years. Last week we even brought you the story of a high school cheerleader who was kicked off of the squad for texting nude photos of herself to her classmates. It seems that the trend has become all too common. So much so, that a whole new word has just been invented...

Sexting (v): To trade images with dirty messages, nude or sexually explicit photos, often in reference to teenagers

Now that it's all over the internets, I'm sure we can look forward to Katie Couric doing a hard-hitting report about "sexting" on the CBS Evening News. So, have you ever sexted someone... if so, did it end in disaster? Drop us an email and let us know, we may your story on the show. (Photo attachements are optional!)

Guantanamo Bay's Buzzcuts

A list of the most played songs of Guantanamo Bay has just been released. These are the songs that were played to torture prisoners into submission. Barney I can understand, but David Gray? That's just cruel and unusual!

Brandi's got a brand new bag!

Would you sit through the entire Radio City Christmas Spectacular just to get a free bag? Well, you're not Brandi. Check out the bag that she earned for suffering through 3 hours of Rockettes, Camels and Choirs.

Did you see the trailer for "Powder Blue" yet?


OK, this looks like some crappy art house film. Forrest Whitaker? oh great. Ray Liotta? Snore! Santa committing suicide? Ridiculous! Oragami, kite flying, Kris Kirstofferson and some guy in a tunnel with a bear mask on? I am so outta here!

WAIT! Is that Jessica Beil naked? This looks like the BEST - MOVIE - EVER!

Broccoli eating cat

Yeah, it's a cute video. The cat loves broccoli. However, the best part is at 1:26 when the woman states that the video will be posted to Youtube by fortnight. Who still uses Old English? Fortnight??? They're probably part of some strange cult that wears pink swatch watches and sits around feeding vegetables to their many sacred cats (and, apparently, geckos).

Also, a fortnight is 14 days... so she made us wait two whole weeks before releasing this amazing footage of a broccoli eating cat! These people are sick.

The Kiss of Deaf

I saw this headline and couldn't resist:

Chinese man ruptures girlfriend's ear with passionate kiss

Seriously, who would suck someone's ear THAT hard? Check out the whole story and decide which is worse; walking around with a hickey on your neck or going deaf.

*Best joke I've seen online about this story: At least she didn't get hearing AIDS!

Aircheck: 12-09-08 "Brandi's #1 Fan, Jason"

After the show today, I was flooded with emails from people who wanted me to post today's call from Brandi's #1 fan, Jason. Jason is my new challenge. Right now, he worships Brandi and could care less about Boris. It is now my new mission to make Jason my biggest fan. This will not be easy. Jason has a deep, deep love for Brandi and seems almost impervious to my Hudson Valley Radio Legend powers. But, mark my words, before I am through Jason will be my biggest fan!

Aircheck: 12-09-08 "The Brandi Grumble"

"The Brandi Grumble" by request... feel free to make it your ringtone.

Girl loses her virginity and texts her dad by mistake.

This is Lizzy. Lizzy shouldn't be so sad. She's 18. She's partying at the beach with her friends. Just moments ago Lizzy lost her virginity and apparently it was "Gr8".

So what's bumming Lizzy out?

She drunk texted her friend Darcy about the whole losing-her-virginity thing but MISTAKENLY TEXTED HER DAD INSTEAD!

Darcy - Dad... it's an easy mistake to make, especially after a dizzying drunken lovemaking session on the dunes.

Lizzy's "friends" posted a photo of her phone online so we can all share in her horror:

Jimmy Fallon is scared s***less!

Jimmy Fallon takes over for Conan O'Brien in March, so he's decided to show how new and innovative his show will be by hosting a nightly video blog. These nightly videos are going to be awesome. Not because the blog is funny - which is certanly isn't ("hey, this is our set" "hey, send me your questions on the INTERNET" "hey, try not to get dizzy as I swing my arms all over the screen because I really don't know what I'm doing here!"). It's going to be funny because Jimmy Fallon is not a good enough actor to hide the fact that he is scared to death about screwing this show up. You can see the desperation in his eyes. It's going to be as awkward as an episode of "The Office"... except that this is REAL!

One saving grace, Jimmy's house band will be "The Roots" - Kick ass!


*I started creating rules for a drinking game that made you take a gulp each time Jimmy Fallon swung his arms at the screen, but I got wasted :25 seconds into the video and passed out.

WRRV Beard Growing Competition - Week 3

As we wrap up the third week of the great WRRV Beard Growing Competition, there are still no drop-outs:
But a big congratulations goes out to Simon, who had decided to highlight his facial hair by eliminating the rest of the hair on his head. Unfortunately, Simon has already been mistaken several times today for Wooly Willy:

Ok, we get the point

Just so there's no confusion, I'm not permitted to sit on piles of snowballs while my friend ice fishes, right?

Caption Contest Winner

"Sadly, Ru Paul's Vegas show has opened to mixed reviews."

Congratulations to Roberto... nice job! See all of the other captions on the original post. Stay tuned for a new caption contest coming soon.

George W. gives "The Shocker"

Poor George W! Now officially a lame duck, he's subjected to humiliating exit interviews about his low approval rating, stories about how his wife killed some guy back in the 60's and stupid photo-ops with people who he could really care less about but has to suck up to before he can quietly retire to his ranch.

To make things worse, this group of people have tricked G.W. into throwing up "the shocker". Don't know what that is? Well, it's not a gesture that you'd want to greet your family with for the holidays.

Another boring Monday? Try this prank...

This is a photo of a real prank that was pulled in a high school. Before you say "Well that's stupid, it's just a bunch of dixie cups spread out all over the classroom" keep in mind that all of the cups are full. I can't imagine how to even begin cleaning something like this up...

Did you see SNL this weekend?

This is the latest Digital Short: "J**** In My Pants"

Coldplay sued for plagarism

A while back we posted a video by the Creaky Boards that they claimed was ripped off by Coldplay for Viva La Vida. Well, now Joe Satriani is suing Coldplay for stealing his son "If I Could Fly". So, really, Joe Satriani should be suing the Creaky Boards, not Coldplay. Maybe I'll sue Coldplay for making me look like a pu**y at red lights when I'm blasting their CD and singing along at the top of my lungs.

Here's a comparison of the Joe Satriani song and "Viva La Vida"... It is pretty damn close, you decide.

Hey it's Simon. I saw his beard coming from across the street.

Some other phtos from the Celebration Of Lights:

O.J. Gets 15 Years...

This just came over the wire... OJ has been sentenced to at least 15 years in prison. He could get out in 9 years, but he will be spending all of that time in jail. He was convicted for armed robbery, kidnapping and assault. But as Seth Myers on SLN said, "really for murder".

The latest from CNN

Update: OJ is sorry... that's good enough for me, we can just let him go now, right?
