Click here to see the video from Craig Ferguson’s show.
“Hola,
Chances are, you’ve heard of Craig Ferguson, host of CBS’ “Late, Late Show”. Chances are, you have NOT heard of French TV show host ‘Arthur’… and yes, he goes by just ‘Arthur’. Also, chances are, if you like Craig Ferguson, you’ll also like Arthur. Why? Well, Arthur is a direct rip- off of Craig. I’m not saying that their shows are similar, I’m saying that Arthur DIRECTLY rips- off Craig, from the opening montage, which is identical, down to the exact same props, down to Arthur using the same jokes AND punch lines. Craig got wind of this, via Twitter, but instead of attacking the guy for blatantly stealing his material, Craig invited him on the show and did a few skits with him, proving that Craig is a believer in the saying, ‘imitation is the sincerest form of flattery’. On that note, you have to wonder what Marilyn Monroe would have thought of Anna Nicole Smith, who did everything she could to emulate the original ‘blonde bombshell’. Or, what does Madonna think of Lady Ga- Ga, the 21st Century version of the material girl? Same schtick, different millennium. Everyone has someone they admire or envy or would like to be, but that doesn’t always mean things work out that way. You’d like to emulate Hugh Hefner, but maybe your life is playing out more like your unemployed, drunk uncle. Whatever the case, today we wanted to know: INTENTIONALLY OR NOT, WHO WOULD YOU SAY YOU OR YOUR LIFE IMITATES?
Jesus… he’s always happy and always treats people well. OK, but I’m not sure Jesus was known for being ‘happy’. Just sayin’
Bill Murray from “Ground Hog’s Day”… Bill Murray’s character from “Ground Hog’s Day”
Joe Pesci from “The Public Eye”
Mary J. Blidge… she can’t sing and she’s not rich, but she shares the drugs, the alcoholism, the family drama and the poor taste in men
Bullwinkle… as in the only Bullwinkle you’ve likely heard of. Says his wife is like Rocky and his in- laws are like Boris and Natasha
James Hetfield… share a similar singing style- uh
Lucille Ball… a few different ladies (and no men) believe their life emulates her character
Kenny Powers… former minor league baseball player
His grandfather
Gibbs, Mark Harman’s character on “NCIS”
Chris Farley… because he’s fat and once danced shirtless in his tuxedo; and that fully encapsulates the life of Chris Farley
Monica from “Friends”… never found out why
Charlie Brown… good grief
OK, I’m out for the night, bitches.
Until tomorrow, pick up what I’m putting down and STAY BEAUTIFUL!”
Yesterday during Group Therapy, I read an email from Henry, who was having problems with his teenage daughter. His daughter was going through a rebellious period, and she was asking to get a lock placed on her bedroom door because she felt like she deserves privacy. What Henry wasn’t comfortable with was what she might do with her boyfriend that would require a lock.
It seems like my generation was all about keeping the door open but I’ve compared notes with parents today and with this whole Facebook generation it seems like more and more teens demand that their door be closed. They just don’t want to be watched when they are communicating online with other people, but that’s where they get into the most trouble these days!
I’m so tired of teens thinking that they have that right to do whatever they want, but guess what kids: it’s your parent’s house so you don’t get to make rules. The government doesn’t recognize you as a completely independent citizen yet, and you’re not paying for your room and board so we, as parents, get to decide if you deserve a lock or not. Hell, we will decide if you deserve a door at all like caller Mike did with his daughters, when they disobeyed the rules he removed their door until they proved that they deserved it!
What an epic battle for NFC West mediocrity last night as the 49’er took on the Cardinals on Monday Night Football. The Niners spanked the Cardinals 27-6, but the real excitement happened after the game. This made watching the game worth it…Cardinals quarterback Derek Anderson got angry when a reporter asked why he and guard Deuce Lutui looked like they were joking around late in the fourth quarter, when their team was down by 18 points.
In the past few weeks, we have talked quite a bit about FOUR LOKO. That’s the energy drink-malt liquor combo that is now banned in Washington. This morning we were reading about a new alcohol product called Whipped Lightning…it’s an alcohol-infused WHIPPED CREAM! The stuff checks in at 18% alcohol by volume, or 36 proof . . . which is stronger than wine but weaker than vodka. It’s at least three times more potent than a beer. This would be awesome on pudding!!!!!! According to the website, right now it’s only available in a handful of states: Arizona, Colorado, Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Tennessee, Missouri, Georgia, South Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, and New Jersey. It’s BANNED in Oregon, Kansas, Mississippi, Michigan, and West Virginia.
This led to us asking this question…What stupid things have you done to get a buzz:
Tony – Ground up Percocet & smoke it.
Chance – took 12 Dramamine’s
Shelly – Smear toothpaste on a cigarette…let it dry & smoke it.
When I sent out the show plan in the morning, Toppy emailed me with his story:
When I was like 15 or maybe a little younger… we use to breath in and out really hard… hold our breath… and have someone push really hard on out chest when we couldn’t hold the breath anymore…forcing all the oxygen out of your body and making you pass out… basically I heard it cuts all the oxygen off from your brain and we would fall down and flop like a fish out of water…we thought it was funny!
This morning we were talking about the dumb things that people buy or sell online…like toast that looks like Jesus, your soul, a kidney, a haunted rubber ducky, etc…people will; buy & sell the most ridiculous stuff…so we took calls on this:
Chris – His friend sold a haunted cane for 400 bucks
Trevor – Sold his brothers signed Babe Ruth card for a quarter so that he could buy a brownie
Eli — Sold imaginary chips in online poker
Tiffany – sold her soul at age 14
John — The 3 issues that featured the girls next door. They are for sale 2 are still in the wrapper
Blicka Blicka – Her wedding dress when she was 19
The Rev had this to say about the topic:
A friend of mine put up a sealed box on Ebay, with a roll of TP and a comb in it, marking it as ‘MYSTERY BOX THAT HAS USEFUL ITEMS’ and he got like $20 bucks for it … and positive feedback, since they were both indeed useful.
Toppy shared this with me:
The thing that I currently own that is pretty stupid, is a bunch of props from the movie Sex Drive including jeans and a shirt from Michael Cudlitz (rick, the boyfriend who chases the guys through the corn field after Lance has sex with his girlfriend).
Today’s Video Blog features Vicky showing off her lack of height, and we do a behind the scenes tour of our hallway!
We’ve all heard about Charlie Sheen’s latest legal troubles; getting drunk, freaking out and scaring the bejesus out of some random piece of skank. It’s pretty much the same scenario as every other time Mr. Sheen has been arrested and graced us with a magnificent mug shot. It’s no surprise. If we told you that a priest was arrested or being ‘investigated’, you could probably guess why. Go ahead, guess why. So when it was reported that country- singing legend Willie Nelson was arrested this past Friday for in Texas, absolutely NO ONE was shocked that he was charged with possession of marijuana, Mary- Jane, weed, the chronic (etc)… six ounces worth, or as Willie calls it, a night’s supply. Maybe some people never learn, or maybe some people just don’t care, but there always seems to be a person or group of people who are always getting in trouble for the same thing over and over. Then there are those people who just haven’t been caught doing whatever it is they do. Today we asked you to consider the behavior of the person known as your ‘better half’ and fill in the blank: IF SOMEONE TOLD ME MY SIGNIFICANT OTHER HAD BEEN BUSTED, I WOULD IMMEDIATELY KNOW IT WAS FOR _________.
This is an easy one for me. Should my wife find herself in the clink, it would have something to do with her general indifference to traffic laws. She defends her methods by calling herself an “east coast driver”, which is true, but I can say from experience, she drove the same way on the east coast. Bless her.
As for your significant others…
“Running her mouth”… not actually a crime, but the assumption is that she would escalate the situation to the point of arrest
Possession of weed
Indecent exposure
Drunk and disorderly
D.U.I… already has a healthy collection
Murder… she wants to kill her boss. That, of course, is not unheard of, but what’s disturbing is that he wouldn’t be shocked if she actually did it.
Her current boyfriend might kill his ex… why do I think his current girlfriend’s days are numbered?
Inciting a riot
Assault… apparently her ex suffers from “short man’s disease”
Stealing stuff… she’s a kleptomaniac/ has been arrested 28 TIMES! One of her better “heists” includes robbing a bank… of a poinsettia
Soliciting prostitutes… guess that’s why he’s an ex
Computer hacking… always amazed by hackers. I learned how to ‘cut and paste’ (thanks to Ben) about a year ago. Wish I were joking
On that note, just scored an i- Pad and it’s fantastic. Know why? Because it’s basically a computer for idiots… and I’m that.
Alright, time to meet the wife, child and mother- in- law for dinner.
Until tomorrow, rock on, rock out and STAY BEAUTIFUL!”
Today was our first day back from the Thanksgiving weekend, and we are suffering a little from the “Thanksgiving coma.” I had a chance to see the new Harry Potter movie on Thanksgiving Day, but while I slept in on Friday morning…thousands (and possibly millions) were standing out in the cold waiting in line for the great Black Friday deals.
People were getting trampled trying to get into the store but one woman really took the cake.
Lanessa Lattimore from Madison Wisconsin attempted to cut in front of a line of “several hundred shoppers” at a Toys R Us store and when she was confronted by numerous shoppers, she threatened to get her gun out of her car and start shooting everyone.
Obviously the police were called, they didn’t find a gun, but she was arrested for disorderly conduct.
It’s a sad statement of society that this is what we call an annul tradition. People have been hurt and even killed in the past just to save a few bucks. Is the money that you saved on socks or TV worth your safety?
I’ve always been about getting the best customer service from a business as possible, so it’s hard for me to understand why people love to go after these sales like a flock of sheep.
Today is a tough day…it was a year ago today when Maurice Clemmons walked into a Forza Coffe shop in Parkland at 8:14 AM & murdered four of Lakewood’s finest. So if you can, please keep the families & memory of Officer Greg Richards, Sergeant Mark Renninger, Officer Tina Griswold, and Officer Ronald Owens in your heart & mind.
Instead of having a new video blog, I thought I would share some videos that we made a year back to pay tribute to these 4 Fallen heroes.
This one is a video blog we made when Double R went to the Tacoma Dome for the memorial for the Lakewood 4:
This is the video blog we put together from the benefit show we did last December: KISW’s Salute The Shield benefit concert. What an amazing night. Duff McKagan’s LOADED, Queensryche, and Mike McCready of Pearl Jam took the stage to pay tribute to & raise money for the families of the 4 Lakewood police officers…
Photographer Iron Mike Savoia was at this event, and took some great photos while there, and here is a slide show for this….
There are some memorials up in Lakewood, so if you can swing by those that would be great…if not, just take a moment today to thank an officer for what they do.
Now don’t forget Wednesday is the start of the Loud And Local Cockfight takeover! Tune in each night at 6 to hear who the two local bands will be competing.
And Monday is the start of Holiday Hangover Ball Week! Tickets for you every 99 min.
I love little factoids……ON METALLICA!
Metallica closed out their two-year World Magnetic Tour Sunday in Melbourne, Australia. According to stats provided by the band, they played 216 shows in 45 countries over 992 days, performing 3790 songs, with no two set lists the same. Those shows broke down to:
143 arena shows
34 festival shows
29 stadium shows
4 club or theater shows
3 TV or radio shows
2 Hall of Fame shows
During a recent Japanese interview, frontman James Hetfield revealed that they can gauge how audiences in a particular place will behave from how they drive there. “In Japan: very polite, very together, everyone is organized — and same with the audience. Very organized, very emotional, very appreciative — but very respectful, and they love to listen to what you have to say. In Buenos Aires it’s a little different. Everyone’s racing for the end — and it’s like that at the concert, as well.” -
It snowed in Seattle, and true to Seattle form, the entire city shut down, everyone went into a panic and things became a disaster. It’s the same thing that happened last time it snowed in Seattle, and the time before that, and the time before that, and, well, you get it. Anyway, as a result of the panic, everyone had an unnecessarily traumatic night last night trying to get home or trying to get anywhere. It was ridiculous and it’s all anyone has been talking about, so we decided to continue the ‘talk’ today: IT’S SNOW- BITCH 2010, WHAT’S YOUR STORY?
11 hours to go from Capitol Hill to Tacoma
Tree fell over onto his driveway and he has no power at his house. He DOES have a fireplace, but no firewood, so he and the wife have been burning furniture
Angry with single people driving in the car pool lanes
Took six hours to drive home, only to find out that he has no power at his house. Good times!
Couldn’t get to work today
Delivers pizza (for the Hut) for a living and IS AT WORK today doing just that. That’s not what’s pissing her off however. What’s pissing her off is that very few people are tipping. What gives?
Suddenly doesn’t enjoy their rear- wheel- drive car
Was stuck in traffic for 7 hours
Got a text at 2 am saying “stay home”, got a call at 9 am saying “come in”
Can’t make it to the liquor store
Stuck in a ditch with his wife and kid for 6 hours… called AAA, but they (AAA) cancelled the call because conditions were too “dangerous”
His colostomy bag exploded in the car while trapped in traffic… the real beauty of this is that it wasn’t their car
There were plenty more gripes, groans and bitches, but most of them included swipes at “stupid drivers” (meaning every driver other than you).
OK bitches, we’re out until next Monday. Do us, and you, a favor and have a really good, very safe Thanksgiving… or don’t.
Until Monday, do what you do best and STAY BEAUTIFUL!”
Unfortunately we were not live this morning, as Snow-pocalypse made it impossible for the Rev, BJ, and I to make it in. I tried driving in last night for a movie screening for the new Rock movie — faster, but I got to Auburn, my windshield was frozen…2 vans spun out right in front of me on I-5, and then i heard that I-5 north was closed due to an accident by MLK Way. I turned around, and then didnt get home until 2 1/2 hours later. EFF you snow!
We are off for the rest of the week, but there will be a STP-CAST tomorrow morning/afternoon…Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson will be joining us, so be sure to check my podcast page at around 10 am to hear it. Here is a link to that page:
