What up blogger? So sometimes in life you make a decision and you stick with it right. Well not this time my freinds, I have contended that for the last few years I did not like all the stupit relality shows on. I mean damn everyone got one these day’s. Now I have to say that I was wrong on all counts. I really like Fantasia’s show. If you don’t remember her she won American Idol a few years ago and has not done much since then. Well now she has a show and it is un-real. Her brother is awesome at life. When I say that it is because her brother sucks at life but hey it’s funny to watch him not know what is going on and getting all pissy about things. He is to the getto what the Jersey shore is to normal people in that state. As big of D-bags that the Jersey shore people are her brother trumps them. If you want a good laugh watch this show.

“Hola need moreolas,

Today’s question was inspired by an e- mail we received over night.  The e- mail was a request for our help.  You know how some people join a ‘book of the month club’, or a ‘cheese of the month club’ or, like our very own Ben the Psycho Muppet, a ‘wine of the month club’ (it was a gift from someone who knows he’s a boozer), the guy who sent us the e- mail wants our help to find him the Devil’s lettuce.  That would be marijuana.  How someone in the Pacific Northwest CAN’T find weed, we’re not sure, but this guy seems to be struggling to do that.  Anyway, we figured that everyone would love a constant supply of something and in a perfect world, we’d have it… but the world isn’t perfect, so we’re left wanting.  Well, today is Friday, the day of our Fantasy Question, so today we fantasized:  IF YOU COULD HAVE A LIFETIME SUPPLY OF ONE THING (OTHER THAN MONEY) WHAT WOULD IT BE?

I’m actually having a hard time coming up with anything.  Sure, cigarettes would be great, booze too, but I guess a life time supply of bass strings would be perfect.  Lame, I know, but it’s what I’d take.

Enough about my lame ass… here are the things you want consistently for the rest of your life:

Like many other people today, this guy wanted a lifetime supply of gasoline.  Good call, as gas is one of the biggest rip offs going.

Like the inspiration for today’s question, this guy wants a life time supply of weed.  By the way, we googled ‘where to buy weed in Seattle’ and it linked us to a website called www.webehigh.com , and lo- and- behold, it suggested Pike Place Market

Seasonal beers from Pyramid Brewery

Percocet

Cigarettes

Alaska Pale Ale

Grizzly chewing tobacco

Movie passes… loves the movies

BACON

An X- Box Live subscription

Sprite… plain and simple

Condoms… sounds good, but you’re assuming that you’ll be getting laid enough for them to matter

Buffalo wings… I like the idea, but it really depends where they’re from.  Personally, I’d take a lifetime supply from the Charles Village Pub in Baltimore.  My God, they’re delicious.

Green chilies… she’s “addicted” to peppers… and a little weird

Cocaine… or as the caller put it, ‘sniffy’

Respect… yea, yea, yea, f**k you

Gordon’s vodka

Groceries… probably the most intelligent submission today… but not much fun

Taco Bell… and hopefully some air freshener

Beef jerky… two different women called today to request a life time supply of jerky.  One of them was a vegetarian.  Go figure.

Plane tickets

Underwear… (???)

Health insurance… good call

Alright bitches, it’s the weekend and I’m rather hung over.  We decided to celebrate Miles’ birthday last night and we’re all paying the price today.  Well, to be honest with you, we didn’t really celebrate his birth day, we just used that as an excuse to scarf down copious amounts of booze.  Oooooh.

OK, have a good weekend.

Until Monday, do what you do best and STAY BEAUTIFUL!”

This blog is offically up and running. As you will see I’ll post blogs via writing, video, and audio. Todays blog focuses on the press conference we had for this blog page. Why you ask would we have a press conference for a blog??? Cuz its THE DUMBEST thing we could think of……enjoy.

Don’t waste your day, go get wasted

 JEETZ

This morning we played audio of Double R making a call in to the Men’s Room the other day…while on air with them, he told the fellas a story about being in Mexico where he got wasted and went swimming late at night…he got back to the hotel room…took his pants off & got buck naked & crawled into bed with his passed out buddy…a male buddy!!  What the hell?????  I’ve never been so drunk that I would crawl into bed with a passed out buddy…clothes or no clothes.  We then talked about how Double R likes to get naked in front of men…to which Double R said he sees no big in this…in fact he has seen all of his friends naked.  I told him that he hasn’t seen me naked, and Double R said “Yes I have…you were drunk one of those times we shared a hotel.”  Never before have I wanted to leave the show & take a shower…I felt DIRTY!  He then said that one time he shared a room with BJ, he saw BJ naked too…he was able to see him naked getting out of the shower because of where he was sitting he was able to see it through the mirror.  Wow.

We had some drama with Glen the Toolbox this morning…Glen is still bitter that Vicky Barcelona got the job she got on our show, and we didn’t even consider him.  Well, he took his frustration out via the web…on one of our You Tube videos that featured Vicky, Glen actually posted this after someone posted that Vicky is cute (I didn’t edit what he wrote…spelling errors included):

“WTF you calling Vikki a beatyfull woman…that’s one hittious chud of a chick!!!”

Obviously Glen is an idiot for writing this…Vicky didn’t deserve any of these insults, and he said them out of jealousy.  Here is what I find laughable…a main part of Vicky’s job is web updating, communicating with listeners, and other staff members…spelling is an important part of what she is doing, yet Glen felt that he was better qualified for the job??? The guy spells like a dyslexic 2 year old!

One of our old interns sent me this email…if you or anyone you know can help him out, that would rock!

Hey guys, 
Over the past weekend 1/23/10 I was assaulted in the first degree by 3 men, I did find out who they were and they got arrested for first degree assault which is a felony charge. The reason I am e-mailing you is I do need a lawyer to take my case. You guys have a close group of listeners from all walks of life that love to help one another. So if possible could you guys give a quick shout out over the airways to try to find me some help. I’ll attach some pics to show how badly I was assaulted, not shown in Pics is that they did knock out my tooth.

Here is the same VLOG for you iPHONE people.

A few days ago, Christina wrote in to complain about how I broadly spoke about woman on a recent show. She was upset with the way I stereotype woman, and she feels that blaming women for the ills of society is a copout.

What women don’t like to hear is that they have an inherent quality where they are over emotional and “in the moment” which leads them to make irrational choices. Whereas men like to think things out and rationalize everything. Why do people have a hard time accepting the fact that we are wired differently? We are not the same; woman on average have a more difficult managing their emotions.

People ask why I come down so hard on women, and it’s because there are many media outlets that love to bash men. There arn’t many that come down on women who misbehave. Our radio show is the only show that points this out; and that is our mission, to balance things out.

Men are made to look like fools and idiots, and women are made out to look like they are smarter and have an understanding with things guys really do. I’ve seen commercials where women are using electronic devices better than men, while guys can’t figure out how to get into a mini-van.

In society, men are vilified and made to look like buffoons; on this show…we show the other side.

“Hola literaryolas,

J.D. Salinger, the author of “The Catcher in the Rye” died yesterday at the age of 91.  If you’re like us, you didn’t even know he was alive up UNTIL yesterday.  It’s just one of those things; any author that was forced on you during your school years you just assume was already dead.  To be fair, of all the tripe we had to read during our time in school, “The Catcher in the Rye” is probably one of the better ones and unquestionably one of the most influential.  Hell, Mark David Chapman, the guy who gunned down John Lennon (but not Yoko Ono [???]) cited “Catcher…” as his inspiration.  That’s probably NOT what Salinger had in mind, but there you go.  Some of the other books a lot of us were forced to read include “To Kill a Mockingbird”, “Lord of the Flies”, “The Great Gatsby”, “Of Mice and Men”, countless drivel from Shakespeare, and on and on it goes.  Looking back, we don’t understand why we had to read all of that crap, but now that we’re adults and read books we WANT to read, we feel like we could come up with a better, more entertaining, more relevant and more practical list of ‘required’ reading… and we wanted your help:  WHEN IT COMES TO REQUIRED READING, I WOULD RECOMMEND _________ IN PLACE OF ____________.

Truth be told, I never actually finished any of the books that were assigned for me to read during school.  Admittedly, I was not what you’d call a ‘model student’, but I do enjoy reading… just not the sh*t they wanted us to read.  I tried, but I generally lost interest after about two pages.  However, I later discovered that ‘1984” and “Lord of the Flies” were really good books.  Hemmingway?  He still sucks the fat one.  How did that guy ever get popular, and why do English teachers insist that he was something special?  Yea, that’s right, I’m still bitter about having to read that guy’s crap.

OK, for the most part, all of us had to read the same stuff in school; if not the same titles, then the same authors.  Here’s some of the books you want to replace:

The Diary of Miss Jane Pittman

The Scarlett Letter… “a book about a whore”, as Ben the Psycho Muppet so eloquently put it.

To Kill a Mockingbird… a book that we’re supposed to read because English teachers are under the impression that rampant racism is a thing of the past.  Maybe the English department should read the news a little more.  Just sayin’.

Fahrenheit 451

The Great Gatsby… not so great

Gone with the Wind… another story about a whore, but this time she’s a gold digging whore

War and Peace… I can’t believe they make people read that book, but I guess if you weren’t forced to read it, there’s no way anyone would read it

The Bible… the only really interesting part of the Bible (for us non- religious folks) is Revelations, you know, when the sh*t hits the fan.  Everyone loves a good apocalyptic story; locusts, angry angels, broken seals, trumpets, raining frogs, etc.

Yea, yea, it’s pretty much what you expected; if you had to read it, you probably hated it.  Now, here’s some of the books you’d like to introduce to the young minds:

Ender’s Game… sci- fi nerds unite

American Psycho…

They Call Me madam

Atlas Shrugged… everyone on Earth should read this book

The Bible… the Gideon’s?  King James?  The Satanic?

Sleepers

Go Ask Alice

Battle Royale

Everybody Farts… there’s also ‘Everybody Poops’.  Both of these books caused controversy, which makes you wonder, what the f**k is wrong with people?  Are we really THAT f**king PC?

The Invisible Man

Anything by Phillip K. Dick… author “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep” (Blade Runner) and about a million other books

Cook books

Aw crap… I gotta go… meaning Ben will kill me if I don’t finish it up.

Until tomorrow, where do we go and STAY BEAUTIFUL!”

Today we got another lovely Irate Female E-mail… lets go through it point by point (I will italicize her points).
 
Hello, BJ Shea,
I was listening to your program this morning, but had to turn it off because you were making me nauseated. Look, I get it, women can be manipulative and we make mistakes. Men are just as capable of manipulating women and making the same mistakes. It’s ridiculous and cowardly for you to hide behind some stupid study that says men can’t think rationally when they’re aroused.
 
This is where she’s going with this? I’m sorry, but don’t women hide behind plenty of studies that say when they act like idiots we should really be nice to them and take care of them? When a woman is on her period you can’t treat her badly, or when a woman is pregnant she needs to be treated right, and after she has the baby she needs to be treated kindly because she might suffer from post partum depression.  It feels like there isn’t a damn moment in my life where there isn’t something wrong with a woman that I have to feel sorry for! Women expect men to be perfect while they are complete messes.  
 
My boyfriend is quite capable of using a condom every single time we have sex, because neither one of us wants to have more children, and because he’s MAN enough to make sure that doesn’t happen. In the heat of the moment, he still reaches over and grabs a condom every time, because I don’t do well on the pill and have tried other forms of birth control that have negatively impacted my body.
 
What is this, 1955? He’s “man enough” to be more responsible than you? It’s 2010! You are as equally responsible for preventing reproduction. Are you “woman enough” to prevent spreading your legs until you are sure you want to have a baby with that man? You can bring home the bacon and cook it too, but when it comes to using an IUD or taking the pill you can’t do that?

You’re doing a HUGE disservice to both men AND women by making statements like ‘men can’t think rationally when they’re aroused’ – you’re giving guys an EXCUSE not to wear a condom!

No, that’s not what I’m doing. What I am doing is giving women a perfect opportunity to understand what happens so they can protect themselves from having children. So when a man tells you something when he’s horny, he’s not thinking clearly because all he wants to do is have sex.  If you’re a woman and you don’t want to accept that, especially when there are scientific studies out there that prove it, then you are a bitch. Women love having that power over men; women like having them in the palm of their hand. 

Do not put it on WOMEN entirely to bear the burden of birth control.
 
Well, if you are the only one thinking clearly why shouldn’t you take it on? Oprah says men are less socially evolved than women, and she constantly says that the world would be a better place if men were not in charge. Well ladies, if you want to take charge then you also have to take responsibility that comes with it! I’m sorry if you don’t like science or what biology is putting out there.

And do not suggest that the only reason a woman gets pregnant is because she wants to keep that man in her life.
 
I didn’t say it was the reason why all women do it, but it’s the reason why some women do get pregnant. As a matter a fact, women use babies to cure problems that only therapy can fix.  Women think that their relationships might improve if they have another child, and that he will get the same hormonal reaction to the child as her. Sorry to say, but men don’t get that same response because we are not wired that way. Our job is to protect the family.
 
Women, unfortunately, are capable of making stupid mistakes, but it’s not true or fair to suggest that all of us are manipulative and with agendas and horrific intentions.
 
Sweetheart, of course you are manipulative, you are a human being. We are all manipulated. Why can’t you accept the fact ladies? Every woman is a prostitute; you use sex to get what you want in life!  

I gave your show a shot, but am beyond tired of the whiny female bashing on your show.
 Love,
Gina
 
Gina, why don’t you go listen to any other show that bashes men because apparently you don’t have a problem with those shows! We are the only show that says the truth about women and I don’t call it bashing, but holding women accountable. The majority of women don’t want to be held accountable for their humiliations and bad behaviors and that’s a fact.

Jodie Sweetin was on our show this morning…she was a great guest.  She just wrote a book called “Unsweetined” which talks all about her battles with addictions…it’s crazy that Stephanie Tanner from Full House was a meth head.  She  joked about her meth addiction…she blamed Tom Sizemore for getting her hooked.  She was only kidding about that…just like me; she is a fan of the new season of Celebrity Rehab.  I told her that I blame those 7th graders for making fun of her for not wanting to smoke a cigarette:

In all seriousness, Jodie was a real cool to talk to…BJ brought up how impressed he is by how great she looks even though she was hooked on Meth:

Thanks to Ozzy Osbourne for joining us today…Ozzy has a new book called “I Am Ozzy” & it was so cool to have Ozzy on with us, but I have to be honest…I only understood 30% of what he was saying..ok…maybe 20%.  Based on the interview, we got this comment:

Maybe you’re supposed to record it and play it backwards?

Mindy

I just saw this story in TMZ…

WWE wrestler Greg “Hurricane” Helms allegedly smacked several people — including a woman — before he and Chris Jericho were arrested at a Kentucky gas station yesterday, law enforcement sources tell TMZ. We’re told several people were in a taxi cab with Helms and Jericho when things allegedly got violent around 4 AM yesterday. Cops say they spoke to several members of the group who told them Helms struck three people — including Jericho, a man named Gary Kelley and a female passenger named Ashley Storer. Witnesses told cops Helms ran from the scene right after the violent incident but returned to the gas station soon after, where he — along with Jericho — was arrested for being drunk in public. Cops say Helms was not arrested for the alleged attack because the alleged victims have not pressed charges — a requirement for an arrest in Kentucky if the police do not witness the attack. Ashley told cops she did not want to file charges against Helms — but Kelley told police he’s mulling it over and may go after the wrestler.

Jimi Valleys Of Neptune 30 sec1/27/2010

 Jimi Hendrix’s “Valleys Of Neptune”!!!!! 40 years later too cool.  Keep it locked to The Rock as we’ll have the goods and tunes before anyone else. 

Here is a great piece by Guitar World

Jimi Hendrix ‘Valleys of Neptune’ to Feature 12 Previously Unreleased Recordings

Experience Hendrix LLC and Sony Music Entertainment’s Legacy Recordings will launch their monumental 2010 Jimi Hendrix Catalog Project on Tuesday, March 9, with the release of Valleys of Neptune, a newly curated album of 12 fully realized studio recordings, more than 60 minutes of music never commercially available on a Jimi Hendrix album, from the artist Rolling Stone magazine called the greatest guitarist of all time.

Centered around tracks recorded during a pivotal and turbulent four-month period in 1969, Valleys of Neptune unveils the original Jimi Hendrix Experience’s final studio recordings, as the group lays down the foundation for its follow-up to Electric Ladyland, alongside the guitar superhero’s first sessions with bassist Billy Cox, an old army buddy he’d recruited into his new ensemble.

Valleys of Neptune provides an essential, compelling, and up-till-now largely unseen view of what Jimi Hendrix was up to musically in the critical period between the release of Electric Ladyland in October 1968 and the 1970 opening of his own Electric Lady Studios in Greenwich Village, the state of the art facility where he would begin his final project, the ambitious double album First Rays of the New Rising Sun.

Janie Hendrix, CEO of Experience Hendrix LLC, the Hendrix family-owned company entrusted with preserving and protecting the legacy of Jimi Hendrix, noted, “My brother Jimi was at home in the studio. Valleys of Neptune offers deep insight into his mastery of the recording process and demonstrates the fact that he was as unparalleled a recording innovator as he was a guitarist. His brilliance shines through on every one of these precious tracks.”

Valleys of Neptune is originality electrified, offering more than 60 minutes of previously unreleased Jimi Hendrix music, originally recorded, and newly mixed for this historic release, by Hendrix’s longtime engineer Eddie Kramer, who first worked with the guitarist on Are You Experienced? in 1967. Valleys of Neptune is produced by Janie Hendrix, John McDermott (who contributes detailed liner notes to the album) and Eddie Kramer.

“Valleys of Neptune” has long been one of the most sought after of any commercially unavailable Jimi Hendrix recording. The song will be released as a single globally on February 2, 2010, nearly 40 years after Jimi finished recording the track at New York’s Record Plant in May 1970.

Other highlights on Valleys of Neptune include blazing studio covers of Elmore James’ classic “Bleeding Heart” and Cream’s “Sunshine of Your Love” as well as premier performances of original Hendrix compositions like “Ships Passing Through the Night,” “Lullaby for the Summer” and the original un-dubbed Jimi Hendrix Experience rendition of “Hear My Train a Comin’.” Also included in Valleys of Neptune is “Mr. Bad Luck,” a Jimi Hendrix Experience track, produced by Chas Chandler during the 1967 Axis: Bold as Love sessions.

As part of the opening wave of releases for the Jimi Hendrix Catalog Project, Legacy Recordings will also be releasing new deluxe CD/DVD editions of Are You Experienced?, Axis: Bold As Love, Electric Ladyland, and First Rays of the New Rising Sun, also available on vinyl, on March 9.

Each of the essential titles in the Jimi Hendrix catalog to be newly reissued on Legacy will feature a bonus DVD featuring newly created documentaries directed by the Grammy award winning Bob Smeaton [Beatles Anthology, Festival Express, Beatles: The Studio Recordings] and featuring interviews with Experience members Noel Redding, Mitch Mitchell, Billy Cox, original producer Chas Chandler and engineer Eddie Kramer. In addition, Smash Hits, Jimi’s original compilation, will be reintroduced. The critically acclaimed Live At Woodstock will be available as a standard DVD as well as a Blu-ray Disc.

“No artist has ever transformed the pop music landscape as profoundly or as permanently as Jimi Hendrix,” said Adam Block, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Legacy Recordings. “We are proud to be partnering with Experience Hendrix in releasing Valleys of Neptune, a treasure for Hendrix fans both new and experienced. It’s an auspicious start in fulfilling a shared vision for the Jimi Hendrix catalog going forward.”
