My latest obsession: Awkward Family Photos

When I was in high school, I stole a family photo from my friend's house. It was a picture of mom, dad and the kids at Medieval Times. The family were all wearing plastic crowns, none of them were smiling and it was the most surreal thing I had ever seen. I made glossy 8X10 copies of the photo and would replace the family photos at my friends' houses with this masterpiece when they weren't looking. I wish I still had a copy, because it's exactly the type of thing you can see on my new favorite website: Awkward Family Photos

A citizen pulls over a cop for speeding

This guy's got some stones! Have you ever seen a cop obviously speeding for no reason, without his lights flashing? It's kind of frustrating, because the law states that police have to obey the same traffic laws that we do, but who's going to do anything about it? Well, this guy had enough so he decided to chase down a speeding police officer and pull him over!

First of all, the guy filming the video is an obnoxious jerk. He was pretty disrespectful to the officer etc, etc... but you do have to admit that he was right. It's obvious the officer wasn't going out on a call, and there was no reason for him to be driving dangerously fast. Still, don't try this yourself!

Aircheck: Is Boris too mean to the listeners?

I was talking with someone at the station today and they said that I am too mean to the listeners. I completely disagree... in fact, I think I kiss the listeners' asses a little too much. I know that my job depends on people listening, so I find myself being nicer to the listeners than I am to people in my everyday life. Anyway, these are the two specific examples I was given. What do you think?

#1: Today's listener who was trying to win a DVD

#2: The lady who was trying to find out the name of a Linkin Park song

Mr. T sings "Take Me Out to the Ball Game"

Thanks to Charley for sending this video of the audio we played on the show this morning.

American Idol reaction video

Remember last year, we posted the video of those girls crying because David Artichoke lost American Idol? Well, this year it seems that everyone set up a video camera to record their reaction to the final announcement.

This one's my favorite. See what happens when you invite a homophobic jock (who's most certainly a self-hating gay) to a party where everyone else wants Adam Lambert to win:

Cameron's house is for sale

If you have an extra 2 million dollars lying around, why not buy a piece of movie history? Cameron's house from Ferris Bueller's Day Off is up for sale. I don't think it comes with dad's Ferrari California Spyder... but you just may find pieces of it in the rocks below. Link.

I would have gone with Times New Roman

Awesome optical illusion

Hey, thanks for the help!

Chen Fuchao, a Chineese man heavily in debt was going to jump off of a bridge and kill himself. Police were attempting to talk him down until a kindly pedestrian decided to help out... by pushing Chen off the bridge.

The passer by said he pushed the man because he was tying up traffic with "selfish activity" "I pushed him off because jumpers like Chen are very selfish. Their action violates a lot of public interest." Chen had been contemplating suicide on a bridge in southern China for hours. He fell 26 feet onto an inflated emergency air cushion laid out by authorities and survived, suffering spine and elbow injuries.

I won't say this guy was right for doing what he did... but making an entire city late for work because of your own personal problems is a little selfish.

Pick One

You'd think it's a simple question to answer: pick one. I honestly stared at the computer monitor for 5 minutes with the words beer and women staring back. I just pressed control-alt-delete and decided this was a lousy way to spend my first morning back. Link

Wanna see embarrasing photos of our Promotions Director?

Anthony Verano is our Promotions Director at WRRV. He's a really great guy and friends with both me and Brandi. It just so happens that Anthony has been nominated for The Spirit Of Dutchess County Award, which is a pretty big honor. The award is to recognize volunteerism in our community, which Anthony takes very seriously. I really think he should win, but you probably could care less...

So let's make a deal: if you vote for Anthony online and he winds up getting the award I will post embarrassing photos of him on the website.

That's a good enough reason to vote, isn't it? Oh yeah, and if Anthony wins he'll also get to donate $1,000 to the American Heart Association of Dutchess County, which is an organization we both support... So vote now!

Yes, they're going to ask for your email address, and you'll have to verify your vote by clicking a link in an email they send you, but this award is run by The United Way and they're not going to give your address to anyone else or pester you with spam, so just do it.

Give yourself hooves

Brandi just read a story this morning about an inventor that has created horse legs for humans. I'm not sure why this is necessary... or why anyone would desire to have horse legs. After watching this video, however, I understand. They make you look way cool!

Fatty-Fat Friday!

Most likely to show her private parts

In my yearbook there's a photo of a dude on the wrestling team with his junk hanging out of his shorts. Everyone thought it was funny and the guy was kind of like a hero for the rest of the year. I guess it's different when it's a 16 year old flashing her woo-woo by mistake...

Listener submission: Pee Kneeler

A few years ago, I revealed on the air that I kneel down when I pee at my house. I started kneeling after seeing a story that showed just how far urine travels in the bathroom as it splashes out of the toilet. Kneeling prevents the splashing and keeps my toothbrush urine free. Luckily, I have a toilet that is shorter, and is the perfect height for kneeling... but what if you have a taller toilet? Presenting the Pee Kneeler! Thanks to Obsessive Rob for sending this link (and for remembering my humiliation as listeners belittled me for kneeling and peeing). Hey, they came up with a device to help pee kneeling people everywhere, so I can't be the only one that does it! Link

Lost: Juliette go boom

Those of you who have been reading my Lost wrap-up each week know that I'm pretty geeky over this show. So it should be no surprise that I gathered together my fellow Lost geeks for a party to celebrate the finale last night, complete with Dharma dogs, Sayid Salad and a 4-toed statue cake. I'm really glad I watched the finale with a crowd, because we had a blast playing "Where in the world is Jacob":

Ok, toy airplane... Patsy Cline music... Kate! ding ding ding. Funeral scene... kid sitting by himself... must be Sawyer! ding ding ding. Jacob on a bench... by himself. Uhhhh.... Desmond? Buzzzzzzz. Thud goes the body... Locke!

I loved the Jacob flashbacks. We found out how Hurley got on the 2nd plane, and what he's doing carrying around that guitar case. We also found out that Jack is a lying jerk that isn't that brave at all. He told that story to Kate about the girl's spinal surgery to get laid. Who would have thought his daddy was the one that made him count to five and gave him the courage to finish the surgery?

So we first meet Jacob hanging out with his mysterious friend on the island. They're waiting for, what I assume is, The Black Rock to come ashore. So what's the deal with these guys? Well, one is dressed in white, the other in black. This goes back to Locke's backgammon game on the beach with Walt. There are two sides... one is light and one is dark. This is a theme that has been running throughout the series. Remember the dead bodies found in the cave with the white and black stones? So, is the dude in black evil and Jacob is good? Why is this guy looking for some loophole to try and kill Jacob? I think that everyone assumed Jacob lived in the cabin, but it was actually the other dude. Perhaps Jacob banished him there and surrounded him with ash so he wouldn't figure out that loophole and kill him.

What lies in the shadow of the statue? "Nomum Blabum Blablahorum", of course. Does anyone speak Latin? I took 3 years in high school and all I can say is farmer (agricola). Ricardus speaks Latin, of course... all of the others do! I had to use the internet (Mrs. Robinson, my Latin teacher , I am sorry) and the rough translation is: "He who protects us." I assume they are talking about Jacob.

So it was Locke in the box that Jacob's buddies were carrying all this time? Did anyone see that one coming? As the camera peered over the side of the open box I thought to myself "Hey, this is just like the final scene last season, where the camera peered over the side of the casket and Locke was insi... Whaaaa?" So Locke is dead, and the dude in black is pretending to be Locke. Does that mean that Christian Shepard is also that dude? The man in black jumps into whatever dead body he can find? So why was Claire and Christian hanging together? Sorry, way too many questions that there's just no answer to yet.

Random observations:
Rose and Bernard rock. Juliette has some boobies on her. Now we know how Dr. Candle / Waxman lost his hand. Jack has a mean left hook. Jacob didn't kill Nadia, he saved Sayid. The statue is a crocodile? People I was watching with think Juliette is pregnant because she was holding her tummy while talking to Bernard. In the first scene Jacob was eating... a red herring!

So, did setting off the nuke work? We don't really have any proof of that. When shown the photo of Jack and company in the Dharma Initiative, Richard Alpert said that he knew them... and he saw them die. If Richard was there for the explosion we could assume since he survived, so did the rest of the gang. Unfortunately, Richard dragged Ellie away to the underground bunker way before the nuke went off, so the fact that he's alive doesn't prove squat. Here's what I Twittered right before the show started last night:

Making my Lost finale prediction now: Last scene will be Oceanic 815 landing safely at LAX.

I still think that would have been a great ending... I'm still holding out that my prediction will be the first scene next season. How cool would it be if the lost gang lands, not knowing each other. The island will course correct, and they will eventually all meet and somehow get back... and when they finally crash again, they will be thrown back to the very first season of the episode to do it all over again... Ok, maybe not.

I guess I'll be going to bed early on Wednesdays now until Big Brother starts up. See ya!

Watch out, IMAX may not be IMAX

When you hear IMAX what do you think? I imagine a screen so big that I can only focus on Captain Kirk's left eyeball and I wind up missing the rest of the movie. Unfortunately, IMAX is now whoring out their name to regular sized screens too. Isn't an IMAX movie on a small screen just called a movie? Well, Aziz Ansari uncovered the whole scandal and isn't taking it lightly. Link.

You're welcome, environment

Last week I was talking about my dependency on water bottles. I'm too lazy buy a re-usable bottle, so I grab a new Poland Spring bottle each day, re-fill it every few hours and then send it off to the giant water bottle landfill somewhere in New Jersey. Well, the response from the WRRV listeners was pretty crazy. People think I'm "killing the children" and "an ego centric non celebrity who needs to set an example to give (my) life some sort of meaning". Add all of that to the constant looks of disgust from Brandi each time I take a sip of water and it still wasn't enough to ween me off of my Poland Spring... until now.

My neighbor, who no doubt cries each week while watching me haul a huge recycle bin of water bottles out to the curb, came over to the house yesterday with a gift:

Presenting my new water bottle! It's dishwasher safe so I don't have to scrub it out each night and has a nice flip top so I can keep it in the studio without having to worry about knocking it over and electrocuting myself. I'll keep you posted on how it works out... in the meantime, stop sending me emails and go throw blood on the Olsen twins or something.

Farewell fanny pack, hello Cap-sac!

2 gross celebrities and one almost nipple

I'm not big on celebrity news, but while preparing for the show each morning I need to peruse the celeb sites in search of the next Christian Bale meltdown. This morning I came across 3 strange and wonderful photos that I thought you'd be interested in. Note: these are ACTUAL pictures, and are not photoshopped in any way.

#1 - Remember Natalie Maines? She's the angry one from the Dixie Chicks who is always yelling at people on TV. Well, apparently she is angry because of all of that testosterone flowing around in her body. Yep, she's now a dude:

#2 - Kelly Clarkson is slowly morphing into Meatloaf. Or she's eating way too much Meatloaf... Something to do with Meatloaf, for sure:

#3 - Is that almost Natalie Portman's nipple? Just thinking out loud... sorry.

Land Of The Lost trailer

I used to love Land Of The Lost. I would sit through stupid episodes of The Bugaloos and Sigmund The Sea Monster in hopes that LOTL would eventually come on next. To this day, I still have horrible nightmares about Sleestacks. I'm sure this movie is nothing like the show (and that's probably a good thing) but Will Ferrell + The dude from Eastbound and Down / CGI Dinosaurs + Sleestacks = a movie I will actually go see this summer.

Best SNL in quite a while

I hate to admit it, but Justin Timberlake is one freakin' great SNL host. I don't know if it's because he's funny, or just because he's one of the only hosts that actually takes the time to MEMORIZE his lines instead of staring at the cue cards all night long. If you missed the show the highlights were: JT admitted to "hitting that" with Britney Spears, another great Governor Patterson skit and this follow up to D*** In A Box"

Hope you had a great Mother's Day!

Obama makes some very funny jokes

The White House correspondents dinner was Saturday night. As tradition dictates, the president gets up and makes fun of himself and pretty much everyone else in Washington. Regardless of your politics, you have to admit that it's nice to have a guy in the White House that can deliver a punch line... on purpose.

Kentucky Fried Publicity Stunt

We talked on the air about how Oprah gave away coupons for a free dinner at KFC to everyone in America. Gee, who would have thought with a recession going on, and Oprah telling people to get free food that a few people would actually do it? Well, KFC is now back peddling and have said that all of the coupons are now void. You can redeem the coupon for another coupon that you will eventually get in the mail, probably so they can spread out the dates the coupons are redeemed so people don't bum rush the local KFC again.

Here's the president of KFC explaining the situation in a video that was probably filmed way before Oprah even knew she was going to give out the stupid coupons on her show... You know, like those Osama Bin Laden videos that they keep releasing after his death.



I love how this guy is saying the huge response is due to the delicious taste of his chicken that no one has even tasted yet. Dude, mom and dad lost both of their jobs this week, little Billy needs braces and the house is being foreclosed on... they'd stand in line for a crap sandwich on poop toast if it was free!

Fatty-Fat Friday!

Mountain Face

Those idiots spent over a decade creating Mount Rushmore... when they could have just waited for it to happen naturally! Now all we have to do is just elect Ben Affleck as president

Don't leave your sunroof open if you're gonna...

Some dude parked his car on the street while he... uh... hmm.... Well, he left the sunroof open, so you can see for yourself. Watch to the end... you gotta love the staff member who walked downstairs to pose next to the guy for the video!

Lost: Jacob's a dead man?!?

This is the reason why I love this damn show... I really have no idea where this thing is going now. I've predicted some big stuff this season, but now I'm done with the predictions for the finale, and I'm just along for the ride. Only Jacob knows what's going to happen! Speaking of... why is Locke going to kill Jacob? Is he going to hunt him down and kill him, or is he really just doing what Jacob wants him to do... remember Jacob said to Locke "Help Me". Perhaps it's a mercy killing that will release him from some weird limbo state he's in. OK, one quick prediction - Jacob will wind up being Jack in the final scene of the season. I have no reason why, but that would be pretty cool, wouldn't it?

Alright, what's with the compass? I'm figuring out a timeline here (which is getting more and more difficult on Lost). First Richard gives Locke the compass during his time flashes when he takes the bullet out of his leg at the plane. Then, when Locke flashes back to the 50's he confronts Richard and gives him the compass. The compass then travels through time normally. Richard visits Locke as a child makes him choose from several objects for the one that belongs to him. He chooses the knife and not the compass, so Richard leaves in a huff. Finally, 40 years later, Richard gives Locke the original compass when they are talking on the beach. A bit later, Richard gives time-traveling Locke the newer version of the same compass when they meet at the plane. Got it? Me neither.

I don't like Kate this season. She's not nearly as hot as she was in the past seasons... and now she's putting a wrench in the works while sit-there-and-do-nothing Jack finally starts to take some action. Why doesn't she want to create a variable that will change their past? That's easy: if they never land on the island she spends the rest of her life in jail alone.

That was the worst computer generated submarine I've ever seen. Stupid and unnecessary.

And the ship in the bottle? The Black Rock for sure.

One whole week until the 2-hour finale... which will no-doubt leave us with even more questions to ponder all summer. I'm kind of glad we're going to get a break, my brain can't take much more of this. Time for less intellectually stimulating TV - I'm gonna give my mind a much needed Big Brother coma.

First successful face transplant in USA

This is a photo of Connie Culp, before and after her face transplant surgery. Culp is the first face transplant recipient in the United States. She spoke to the media at a news conference at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland yesterday. The 46-year-old lost most of her face to a gunshot in 2004.

We're live at The Dutch Cabin

What better way to celebrate Cinco De Mayo than partying with Boris
and Brandi? We'll be here until 7 (and we promise not to wear the hats
all night!)

Happy Cinco De Mayo!

I'm not Mexican... but hey, just because I'm not Irish doesn't mean I don't celebrate on St. Patrick's Day. Don't miss our big Cinco De Mayo party at The Dutch Cabin in Poughkeepsie today from 5-7pm. I'll be there with loads of prizes to give away. The Dutch has amazing Mexican food, so this is the place to be. I'll make sure to have a cold Landshark Lager waiting for you!

This is why celebrites only date other celebrities

I don't really pay attention John Mayer. All I know about him is that he's a bad singer who bagged Jennifer Aniston. Oh yeah, and he's now screwing some stupid waitress who decided to go on some unknown internet talk show to spill the beans about their relationship. Seriously, this girl really needs to know when to shut up. Even if John Mayer wasn't some sort of celebrity, any guy would be freaked out by how much information this girl is giving out. This interview goes on and on and she digs herself deeper and deeper... it's kind of like watching someone slowly drown in quick sand

Ferrari crashes into Sbarro during movie shoot in NYC

They were filming a car chase for the new Nicholas Cage movie in Times Square the other night. Something happened and the Ferrari driver lost control, crashing it a Sbarro. I say they rewrite the scene and call it a take! Very cool.

I guess there's no such thing as bad publicity, however...

...what if you're identified with the wrong name and the photo of you is actually a photo of the back of your head? And, to make things worse, the photographer wants everyone looking at the photo to "note the television screen to the left of the barber chair"?

Hey, what about noting the Hudson Valley Radio Legend® sitting IN the chair? You know, the guy that spells his name with an "I"? Oh well... it was a very nice haircut.

Thanks to The Carnwill Lacal and Kan Cishmin for reporting on the event.

Idiot I saw on the road today

I was driving through Suffern today and saw some police activity ahead. When I drove past I saw this:Some idiot drove his RV under a bridge and got stuck. I guess he either didn't read the clearance sign or misjudged the height of his RV. Either way, that'll sure ruin your Sunday! The guy let the air out of his tires, and I guess he eventually got towed out because the RV was gone when I drove past later in the day.

Just in time for beach season: Camel Toe Eraser!

Add this to the list of things I wish I thought of first (Damn you Billy Mays, A device that transmits cell phone calls over the radio in your car should have been my idea!!!). Ladies, tired of sporting camel toe? just slip this device in your bikini and you're good to go!

According to the before and after photos, it seems to do the job.

Here are the benefits of using Cuchini taken directly from the website:

1 - Smoothes the ridges of a woman’s mons pubis area.
2 - Keeps undergarments clean.
3 - Can be used with or without underwear.

Uh...
1 - please don't call that area that name.
2 - gross! What keeps this thing clean, then?
3 - you could avoid having to mention #2 by not mentioning #3!
