What’s up my 2 day hanging over from Pain in the Grass 2010 blogging Rock-O-holic?? Oh wait….that was me. This will truly be Blogging Under the Influence as today I take all the footage I got from PITG and made a music video out of it. And to quote this one Gangster I know “I GOT AAAAFTER IT!!!!” The cool thing about video blogs is that if you’re illiterate you can still enjoy my blog AND I don’t have to write as much which is a bonus because I’m lazy. In fact I’ve probably written way more then I needed to already so lets wrap this up. This is a video of everything 2010 Pain in the Grass from the line to get in, to backstage, to on-stage, to everything in between. The tune is “We are One” by the band 12 Stones….enjoy.

See ya at Holliday Hangover Ball!!

Don’t waste your day, Go Get WASTED!!

“Hola,

Almost every little boy has the dream at one time or another; the dream of playing football.  Take 14- year- old Chad Jordan of Tampa, Florida.  He’s 5- foot- 11, weighs 160 pounds and recently signed up for a pee- wee football team called the Town N’ Country Packers and played in one game… before they figured out it wasn’t 14 year- old Chad Jordan who dreamed of playing football, it was actually 21- year- old Julius Threat PRETENDING to be 14- year- old Chad who dreamed of playing football.  He was arrested for trespassing, but he did it just to play football.   Sometimes you’ve just gotta let childhood go.  Sometimes, even children need to let childhood go.  In the September issue of ‘Pediatrics’ magazine (“woo- hoo!”) they’re reporting that 20,000 kids a year end up in the ER from sledding accidents.  Ted decided to go sledding a few years ago, re- live some childhood memories of his own, and ended up in the emergency room himself.  But that’s what happens sometimes when you try to revisit childhood.  That’s what we wanted to know today:  GOOD OR BAD, WHAT HAPPENED THE LAST TIME YOU TRIED TO RE- LIVE YOUR CHILDHOOD?

I do it every time the New Originals play.  It’s like playing Guitar Hero, except you have to know how to actually f**king play an instrument… although, to be fair, most people who play Grand Theft auto aren’t bad- asses, people playing Madden aren’t necessarily great football players and the folks playing World of Warcraft, well, you know.  Anyway, it’s loud, it’s crazy, it’s a lot of fun, and as an adult, it’s the only place you can get away with acting like that without getting arrested.  It’s the ultimate childhood fantasy come- to- life.  The reminder that I’m 41 and not 14 is how bad my body hurts the next day.  Seems my neck isn’t made for head- banging.  Aw, well.

Apologies, but I’ve been a bit distracted today, so this is pretty much the whole blog.  What we learned today was that grown men shouldn’t ride kids’ bikes, skateboards or go fast in shopping carts.  That pretty much sums it all up.

Gotta go for the night (trivia night, bitches) so peace for now.

Until next time, do what you best and STAY BEAUTIFUL!”

I know I already wrote a blog today, but I had such a great experience at the Microsoft campus today that I wanted to share something quickly with you.

Check out this picture of Mitch K (from Microsoft) & I…the art behind us is awesome:

The art was hanging beads that had the Trek guys on them & the light reflection emulated a “beam out.”

Mitch & the guys at Microsoft were great to us today. I got to play with their latest project. I will own it! I can’t say what it was, but I got to connect with the guys at Microsoft and learned all about it. OK, one more hint: it rhymes with “win-ect.”

Be sure to tune in tomorrow as we will talk more about it.

Thanks to Mitch K. & everyone at Microsoft for showing us a great time.

Another loss in Beat the Producer…apparently Aquaman is not the God of Water in Greek mythology, and JFK wasn’t in a Honda Civic when he was assassinated. 

This morning we talked about how “Women’s Day” magazine is getting some heat for running an ad in their latest issue that was paid for by Summer’s Eve. The ad is designed to look like an article, with the title “Confidence at Work:  How to Ask for a Raise” and an eight-step list. The first suggestion on the list is, “It should start with your usual routine and all the things you do to feel your best, including showering with Summer’s Eve Feminine Wash.” We took calls from people wondering why this is offensive…replace vagina with armpit (not in that way you kinked out freaks) and would anyone disagree that you shouldn’t go to work with stinky pits? A listener named Rebecca called in & summed it up best – “If You Smell Like Fish, You Need To Go Home.”

We were talking about medical marijuana this morning, and there is a story in the New York Times that says that some employers will still fire an employee if they fail a drug test despite if they have a medical marijuana card.  I kind of get it…the problem is that the reasons why some people get a medical marijuana card, and how some of the “doctors” that “prescribe” it are kind of shady has made it difficult to legitimize why some have a medical marijuana card.  People can get a medical marijuana card for the dumbest things….hell…ok, this might be too personal, but I suffer from “Proctalgia Fugax”  from time to time…what is that you ask?  Ugh, it’s a fancy way to describe an “Anal Charlie Horse.”  Ok stop laughing.  From time to time will get hit with an unbearable pain where it feels like I have to do a #2, but I really don’t have to go to “my office.”  This “anal charlie horse” (stop laughing) can last for about 20-30 minutes, and at times it hurts so bad that I can’t move….and because of this, I could be prescribed medical marijuana to help ease the pain.  Seriously, based on this, if I stub my toe or get a hangnail…I should be able to get a “weed card.” 

Today’s video blog is the final VLOG on our experience hanging at the North Parking lot before a Hawks preseason game for a taping of Guy Fieri’s new show “Tailgate Warriors”  — In this video we chat with Guy Fieri!

Here is the same VLOG for you iPHONE users.

Sully and Shannon on stage at Pain in the Grass Saturday night.

For the 10 years I’ve been doing this show, one of the biggest studies that I quote a lot was done in the University of Toronto where they took 3 groups of people (two groups of men and one group of women) and found that men are less rational when they are aroused.

The men who were exposed to sexual materials showed like they were less rational then the other two control groups (men who were not exposed and women who were exposed).

I’ve said it before, it’s a hormonal thing and men have no control over it, yet they don’t get a pass. How many hormonal things happen to women that we men are told to just accept because it’s their biology and they are not in control when it’s happening to them? It’s the age of equality and I don’t mind giving them a break for what their bodies are doing to them; I just don’t know why women can’t understand us when we have stuff going on.

The reason I bring this up is because yesterday I talked about a neuro-psychiatrist named Louann Brizendine who wrote a new book called “The Male Brain”, and in her book she says that the bottom line is men can’t help but check out women.

The area of a man’s brain that controls sexual pursuit is 250% bigger then a woman’s so therefore, when a woman walks by, within 1/5th of a second, the average man is checking her out and sizing her up to see if she is good material for him to mate with. What Louann Brizendine also found that that is actually faster than a man’s conscious mind which would tell him not to look at the woman (because he would not hear the end of it from his woman).

It’s not something we mean to do but all men can’t help but look. Women shouldn’t get mad because it’s in our biology but of course they do.

Let me just ask this, when your woman has PMS, post partum depression, or any other hormonal symptoms that she has while pregnant, can you then respond to them like they respond to you when you check out another woman? We would look like the biggest jerks on the planet if we were that cruel to them for something their bodies do that they have no control over.

I don’t mind giving women a break for all their hormonal issues whether it’s PMS or post partum depression as long as they will give us a pass for doing something we don’t have control over like check out another woman.

Can you tell we’re excited? That’s right, folks, the one and only Slayer is making their triumphant return to the northwest this Friday alongside the almighty Megadeth and let’s not forget Testament. To make it THAT much cooler for us metal dorks, the fine folks in the SLAYER and MEGADETH camps took it upon themselves to up the anty x10 – this tour would for the true diehards! Slayer will be playing their underrated and classic “Seasons In The Abyss” album in its entirety and the Megadeth machine will be busting out all the jams from “Rust In Peace.”

Now that you realize how stoked I am for this show, I’m okay with admitting I’m also a little bummed. Just a half a month after the Washington stop on the American Carnage tour, Anthrax is meeting up with Slayer and Megadeth to continue their path of destruction. All this needs is Metallica to sign on the dotted line and we have ourselves the big four touring the United States like they should be. People said it couldn’t and wouldn’t happen, but we saw all 4 bands unite on one stage just a few months back for a short European tour jaunt. Now it’s time to get these 4 together for all the fans that live in the country all the bands reside from. If they can forget beef for a few nights in Europe, why not in America?

On another note, I realized that the planets were aligning in favor of Slayer being insanely epic this Friday. While shopping at a local thrift store, I caught a glimpse of an old school SLAYER t-shirt in mint condition for just under 4 dollars. My first thought: Grab it. My second: Who the hell gives up a Slayer shirt? This guy either got married or gained a bunch of weight. Is this a coincidence? I find a crucial Slayer shirt the same week as the big Slayer concert in Seattle? Maybe. But c’mon, maaaaaaaaaaaan, don’t you want to believe?

MY PERSONAL PLAYLIST FOR THE WEEK

Slayer- Seasons In The Abyss
Decrepit Birth- Polarity
Periphery- S/T
Insect Warfare- At War With Grindcore
Electric Wizard- Dopethrone

Scott Weiland…you using recorded backing vocals?

STONE TEMPLE PILOTS frontman Scott Weiland has responded to allegations that he is using backing tracks during the band’s live shows after he fell off a stage at a recent concert and landed heavily without missing a note.

While performing in Cincinnati, Ohio on August 25, Weiland lost his footing, stumbled and fell clumsily while carrying a microphone in one hand and a megaphone in the other. According to Rock Radio, “despite the tumble, his voice was heard to continue the song — he wasn’t singing at the precise moment he fell, but when the moment came to resume he didn’t sound short of breath, out of tune or in any way flustered.”

At STONE TEMPLE PILOTS’ August 28 concert in Pittsburgh, Pensylvania, Weiland addressed the rumors (see video below) before the band launched into the song “Wicked Garden”, stating from the stage, “I would like to dispel a rumor swilring its way around the Interwebs that I am not singing these songs that I wrote. There has never been a time in the 25-plus years that I have been singing with these guys or a combination of these guys or with other musicians that I have not sang. So whoever started that claim, like so many other claims, which is the problem with modern technology, and there are so many great things about it. But that it such a travesty. We are a rock and roll band, [and] rock and roll bands perform live.”

Hmmm whatchu think???

“Hola,

This was covered earlier today on the BJ Shea Morning Experience, but it’s worth repeating, as most of us are guilty of it on a daily basis; ‘Reader’s Digest’ put out a list of ‘6 Phrases You’re saying Wrong’.  Sure, I disagree with one them, but I’m disagreeable by nature.  Besides, everyone says things wrong all the time.  It’s one of the joys of living in America.  Sometimes you say things with crystal clarity and you’re STILL wrong.  Take Lynne Rosenthal of New York City; this woman is a college English professor but she ran into trouble at a Starbucks when she placed an order like a normal human being but was refused service because she didn’t place her order in that stupid corporate lingo they use.  You know what I’m talking about; you have to say a “venti” if you want a large, “tall” if you want small, etc.  She thought she could just order her food by saying what she wanted to eat, but she thought wrong.  Speaking of ‘wrongness’, there’s anew book out called “Wrong” and it’s about how most of the “expert” advice we get is wrong… which makes you wonder what qualifies someone to be an ‘expert’.  We’re talking medical knowledge (ADHD, restless leg syndrome), professionally prepared tax returns, newspaper articles, etc.  Today we’re talking about being wrong and we wanted to hear it from you:  I THOUGHT _____________ WAS RIGHT UNTIL I FOUND OUT IT WAS WRONG?

Away we go:

Thought pineapples grew in trees until she went to Hawaii and discovered different

His white boss said “nizzle” to a black guy and didn’t know why the guy got mad.  If you still can’t figure it out, walk up to your girlfriend or wife and call her a ‘clunt’

Christianity

Thought the singer of BTO stuttered because of “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet”… “b-b-baby, here’s something, here’s something you’ll never forget…”

Believed that the Baltimore Orioles were the Oreos

Thought that divorce was for people who don’t know how to pick a spouse, and he was right.  He was wrong that HIS marriage would last

Thought you could drive with an open beer on your lap… you CAN, but you’ll go to jail

Believed that the correct pronunciation of Porsche was ‘Porsh’, but apparently it’s ‘Porsha’

Thought that Rush singer Geddy Lee was a girl, like the dudes in Hanson

Thought Elysian Brewing was ‘a legion’ brewing

Thought chocolate milk was produced naturally by cows

Thought ivory came from a bear’s penis (???)

Because he sleeps heavy, he proudly coined himself the “king of nocturnal emissions”… until he found out that it means he has more wet dreams than anyone.  Congratulations?

Used to believe that deviled- eggs’ were ‘doubled- eggs’

We also had a lengthy discussion about the reality of cow- tipping, the coriolis effect, the cut off point for an animal to be a critter and how to say Nevada.  It was a loose show, bitches, and thoroughly enjoyable.

I’m outta here.

Until tomorrow, live loud and STAY BEAUTIFUL!”
