“Hola Replacementolas,

If you’re like us (then God help you) you find American Idol about as interesting as time- lapse photography of white paint drying on a wall, but right now Idol is all over the news.  Why?  Well, the only mildly entertaining person on the show, Simon Cowell, is leaving and after only one season, Ellen DeGeneres is looking to escape the nonsense as well.  But that’s not what has everyone going dog- nuts about it.  It’s the possible replacements that has (sad and lonely) people talking.  Here are some of the names around; Harry Conick Jr, Justin Timberlake, Elton John, Brent “frickin’ Michaels, Jessica “I used to have zits and I love to fart” Simpson, COURTNEY LOVE, Jennifer “does this dress make my butt look big” Lopez and Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler.  Guess we’ll find out which one of them is the most desperate soon enough.  Maybe they can make a reality show out of the competition to become the next judge.  Just sayin’.  Speaking of replacements, Hulk Hogan, everyone’s favorite balding giant, announced that he’d like to replace the void left by the death of Billy Mays.  He seriously wants to become America’s next great pitchman.  If you’ve seen him on those Rent- a- enter ads you know he has a lot of work to do, but that’s his dream.  Being a replacement is a tough sell, as most people don’t like change, but we’ve ALL had moments when we said, “well Hell, I could do THAT!”  For our Friday Fantasy Question we asked you to put your money where your mouth is:  WHO COULD YOU REPLACE AND WHY DO YOU THINK YOU COULD DO A BETTER JOB?

Yea, I’m not in the position to replace anyone… unless it’s a convicted felon.

All of his former drug counselors… based on the fact that he had to visit more than ONE supports his theory

Ryan Roland- Smith (Mariners pitcher)… the caller played 2 years in the minors for the Arizona Diamondbacks

Keanu Reeves… acted in high school, which is seemingly more training than Keanu has ever had.  Whoa

Governor Gregoire… didn’t really give an explanation, but they’ve gotta be easier on the eyes

Ozzy Osbourne… the guy sings in a Black Sabbath cover band

Electrical engineers… guy works as an electrician and hates working at the construction sites because the engineers have terrible ideas… so he says

Elizabeth Hasselbeck because she’s really, really, really f**king stupid… on the other hand, she got the job BECAUSE she’s an idiot

Seattle movie projectionists… apparently they suck at framing pictures and adjusting volume.  News to me

Joe Buck… wants to replace him as a baseball announcer because he, unlike Buck, has a little thing called ‘emotion’

Wants to take over for whoever does the ‘slow jams and dedications’ on Movin’ 92

Wants to replace horror movie victims because 99% of them are stupid

OK bitches, go enjoy your weekend… or don’t, it’s entirely up to you.

Until Monday, do what you do best, and for Aletha’s sake, STAY BEAUTIFUL!”

So Toppy played us some audio from last night’s season premiere of of The Jersey Shore…I still haven’t watched an episode…but based on this dumb audio Toppy played…I have to say…they should call this show “A Group Of Unlikable Morons.” I did learn some new phrases…thanks to “The Situation”:

Grenade is an ugly fat chick

A Landmine is an ugly skinny chick.

Thank you, “The Situation.”

This is a strange story…the fact that this surprises us based on all the crazy stuff Mel Gibson has already been in the news for cracks me up, but apparently Mel likes to goof on his past co-stars in a strange way. Violet Kowal . . . the Polish woman who claims Mel was cheating on Oksana with her . . . said in a recent interview with E! News, that Mel had posters from several of his past movies on the walls of his office . . . and he had drawn mustaches on the other actors’ faces. Based on all the stuff he has said in the past…do you think it was a Hitler ‘stash?

So Cosmo just put out a list of the “Favorite Places To Have Sex…Besides The Bedroom” – for those hoping to accomplish this list…here ya go:

Here is the same VLOG for you iPHONE people

One of things I love doing with my wife is watching TV shows we both like, and it can be difficult sometimes to find one because I am a sci fi/action geek while she is an Oprah, new age crystal girl. In the past we’ve enjoyed watching Seinfeld or Curb Your Enthusiasm, but one show we’ve been getting into lately is Top Chef.

For those who don’t know, Top Chef is a show where they get a bunch of chefs from around the country and they get voted off at the end of week. It’s basically Survivor meets American Idol with food added in.

In one of the most recent episodes, they featured a competitor named Andrea who owns a restaurant in Miami and a guest judge named Michelle Bernstein also owns a Miami restaurant. This made things interesting because Andrea’s food was going to be judged by one of her restaurant rivals.

During the episode, Andrea addressed the fact that she is not as famous or well known as superstar guest judge Michelle. Her excuse, which I found to be very interesting, is that they were both rising at the same time but then took different paths. Andrea chose to start a family while Michelle grew in her career.

So Michelle and Andrea both feel like they are both just as talented as each other but the reason why Andrea wasn’t in the limelight is because she got married and had kids.

I found this interesting because we’ve heard so many arguments from women about how they don’t make as much money as men, that it’s unfair how men get treated differently, and that men achieve higher positions because it’s the “good ol’ boys network”!

Here’s a woman who admits to why she isn’t as successful because she took a different path. Instead on focusing on her career completely and rise to the top, she had her family but still has a successful career but not as much as Michelle.

Why are men still getting blamed? I can’t believe in the year 2010, people still believe that a company would pay a woman less just because of her gender.

If someone is putting in all the hard work, all the time and do a better job at it, then they deserve to get paid more and climb up higher in the ranks quicker…regardless of their gender!

    What up blogger? Man this weather is awesome right now. I have been loveing life with the cool nights and warm days. This weather suits Ted Smith right son. This weekend I am fired to get out of town. I have been stuck in Belltown since the weather got nice. Well thats a little bit of a lie since I have been out of the city but I was just hanging in bars. Anyhow this weekend i am going to get a good hike in somewhere then knock back some cold Miller lite’s. Anyhow I guess i should get to the point of this blog which is to talk about how this is kid of a slow period in sportsd this time of summer. I love soccer but I am looking forward to watching some college football soon. NFL camps started this week so for the NFL fans there is a ton of stuff to talk about these days. Sports and more sports and beer is how I like to spend fall Saturday’s. Oh yeah Man-U just beat the crap out of the MLS all-stars last night and it makes me worry. Those basturds are good.

“Hola

We were joined in studio today by Jeffery Ma.  Who is Jeffery Ma?  He’s the M.I.T. student turned card shark who went to Vegas and just cleaned up, thanks to his system for counting cards.  Vegas didn’t like it very much, but Hollywood did, and that’s why they made the movie “21” (starring Kevin Spacey).  The movie is based on Jeffery’s experience.  Anyway, he joined us and recalled how he beat the system, so to speak.  Well, it’s not that he beat the system as much as he came up with a BETTER system.  Speaking of ‘better systems’, our friends in Australia have come up with a genius way of building morale in the work- place.  It’s called Lazy Friday.  The long and short of it is this; at 3 pm every Friday, ALL offices close down and instead of going home early, you go to the bar and drink your face off… on the company’s dime.  Seriously.  Even the Sydney Chamber of Commerce supports the idea and says that Lazy Friday’s are “doing incredible things for morale”.  I bet it is.  Anyway, this kind of stuff got us thinking:  HOW DID YOU BEAT, CHEAT OR IMPROVE UPON THE SYSTEM?

Here a few of the stories from today:

Stole the test answers from the teacher’s desk and provided the answers to the class.  Everyone got a 100 and the teacher never said anything.

Like our friend from above, he cheated on his test, but he wrote the answers on the bill of his hat

Insurance fraud, but that’s OK since insurance itself is a fraud

Buys the expensive fruit and vegetables at the grocery store, goes to the self checkout and enters in the names of the CHEAPER produce into the computer and saves $$$

Although they’re nowhere near being elderly, they somehow get a senior discount

Would take an empty envelope to the ATM and make a ‘deposit’… at that point you can withdraw up to $300

Counterfeited $20 bills and would by cookies from the special ed kids and get legitimate change in return

Used to tear dollar bills in half and use them in the bus… BEFORE the electronic readers were installed.  The point being, one dollar went twice as far.

Me?  I’m still trying to find a way to beat the system, but, alas, I fail.

That’s all I’ve got.

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

How’s it hangin you eyes of a panther having rock-o-holic? So working at KISW definitely has its perks and nothing was more true then last weekend. Last Friday I was at the sold out Steel Panther show to do stage announcements with Ryan Castle. This was really cool for a couple reasons. First if you’ve never seen Steel Panther live before it’s definitely one of the most fun shows you’ll ever see. Great music. Great comedy. And always a great, wild, loud, crowd. Lucky for you if you missed the show, Steel Panther comes back to the Showbox Market on Halloween! Second is they are one of my favorite bands and to get to know them a little and do the stage announcement was AMAZING. After that show we had a celebrity baseball game in Everett as the Foul Balls took on the Fox Q13 Q-Balls. This was lots of fun and I got to play with some guys I’ve been watching on TV for years. Like John Brockman, Spencer Hawes, and Laywer Milloy. In fact me and Laywer both grew up in Tacoma so we were chatting it up about the 253. The game was fun but it benefitted a great cause in The American Cancer Society and we were able to raise a bunch of money. Big thanks to all who came out to both events and said hi and cheered for me on stage and at the game. It’s always a great feeling and I thank you. If you missed one or both….don’t worry. I got you covered. I put together a video of both events. This video is a crazy weekend in the life of JEETZ.

Don’t waste your day, Go Get WASTED!!!

Today we got the unfortunate news that Jarod Newlove, the local sailor that disappeared in Afghanistan last week, has been pronounced dead by the military. It’s a horrible, horrible situation to have happen to someone who is serving his country.

I’ll tell you, it just really irritates me to see these a-holes and what they are fighting about over there. We have the capability to just go over there and blast them so when I hear stories like this it just reinforces my belief in just blowing them away.

After this story we got news that after a service member dies, his or her loved ones receives a thick envelope from, according to this story, Prudential Financial (which handles life insurance for the department for veterans’ affairs).

What is really bizarre to me is that there are life insurance policies for people who are in the military (which some of them are handled by Prudential Financial) and what they do when somebody dies, they send the family information about the payout they are entitled to under their policy. The letter tells the bereaved that the money is placed in a safe, interest baring account and gives them what looks like checks that are backed by J.P. Morgan; but according to the news story, they are nothing more then glorified I.O.U.s!

The insurance companies make it sound like they are doing all this for the convenience of the policy holders, down playing the fact that the money isn’t being kept in an account that is insured by the F.D.I.C.

They are calling this a big scheme because it allows insurers access to free money while families don’t earn as much interest as if they could in a regular interest baring account. It also says it’s doesn’t just affect people in the military but average American citizens as well.

Wow! I had no idea. They don’t pay these families out right away? Why wouldn’t they ask to be given one lump sum? I mean, you have to be constantly paying for insurance every month so why wouldn’t they just give you the money?

Look, I have a life insurance policy and I want my family to be able to get all of it so they can invest it however our financial advisor suggests they should, not how the insurance companies tells us to.

It’s amazing the ugliness of capitalism; no matter what you always have to make a buck. It’s never good enough to make a fair profit. You have to keep doubling, and doubling your profit, and how do you do that? Eventually you have to screw people over. There is no other way to do it except to rob people.

So last night BJ, his son Joe, my lady, and I went to a screening for the new movie Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World…we are going to have the stars in studio tomorrow at 7:55 am: Michael Cera (Superbad), and Anna Kendrick (Twilight), plus director Edgar Wright (Shaun Of The Dead, Hot Fuzz) will be in as well. The movie is a trip…it’s a very cool film that pays homage to video games of the past. This movie will put a big smile on the face of anyone that used to play Sega Genesis & Nintendo!

This morning we talked about how 29% of people in committed relationships lie to their partner about what they spend their money on…for ladies, they ie about Spending Habits…so we took calls from people about stuff they lie to their partner about what they buy:

Dan — Bikini baristas (he tips em’ 20 bucks to see what else they would do)

Sarah – Her dad lie to her mom about his competitive shooting habit

Gary – Warhammer figures (has spent over 16,000 bucks on them)

 AskMen.com makes a good point: If you get a BAD tattoo when you’re FORTY, you can’t really explain it away as something you did when you were young and stupid.

5. BINGE DRINKING. Again, when you’re 22, you can blame it on being young and crazy. But there’s a point where, if you’re binge drinking all the time, it starts to become an ILLNESS.

4. LIVING PAYCHECK-TO-PAYCHECK. This one’s easier said than done. But once you’re in your 30’s, you need to figure out a way to save whatever you can each month and prepare for things like kids, layoffs, and health issues.

3. WORKING AT A DEAD-END JOB. If you’ve been at the same job for five years and they haven’t given you a promotion yet, they might NEVER give you one. So it might be time to look for a job where you can start climbing the ladder.

2. KNOWING NOTHING ABOUT POLITICS. In American demographics, the term “youth vote” means voters between the ages of 18 and 29. So if you’re over 30, you’re an adult who should know something about how the world works.

1. DRESSING LIKE A SLOB. It doesn’t take much time, effort, or even money to dress like an adult. You just have to care about how you present yourself. And you have to realize that more is expected of you now than when you were 20.

We opened up the phone lines to see what would be put on the list:

Elizabeth – Video Games

David – Playing on A backyard trampoline

Dan — Playing tackle football with your buddies.

Today’s video blog features a gift we got from Jaime & Gabriel…they make Salso, and it’s amazing!!!

Here is the same VLOG for you iPHONE users.

“Hola I Hate Computerolas,

Hi there, bitches.  There is something very screwy with the computers today which makes typing a blog a bit difficult… so it’s not really gonna happen.  Apologies all around.

I can’t really explain exactly what the problem is… well, I COULD, but it would just get me pissed off, so I’m trying to avoid that.  My original post was all piss and vinegar, but I decided against submitting it and went with this non- offensive post instead.  Ain’t I swell?  No?  Well screw you too!

Hopefully this computer crap will be sorted out by tomorrow.

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