Day 774 (07/05/09)  Where Is Double R?

We started the show off at a few disadvantages...first of all...BJ went tot he ocean, and got screwed by the pollen...his voice was shot this morning...and to make matters worse...Double R was a no show.  We have no idea why, all we know is that every year he goes to Lake Cavanaugh, and every year he injures himself while there...Lucas wrote us with a good theory:

Double R is probably arrested for causing the wild fire at lake cav., they  say it was caused by fireworks.

We wound discussing what the excuse would be from Double R when he finally does contact us, so we decided to take calls from listeners on what they thought the excuse was:

Ed – Overslept…too drunk.

Dan – Fighting the fire.

Jay & Mike -- He is in Cali getting Michael Jackson tickets.

Darren – Locked out of the cabin

Jeremy – Something with the power outage.

Kevin – Hit by firework (hand & back), stuck in bed & couldn’t call.

Matt – Thinks he has a day off

Mark – something that requires medical attention.

Kurt – He bad reaction from putting that cream on his junk on Thursdays show.

Canuck Curt -- He was at Lake Chelan, and his boat got seized by pirates. They asked him borrow some smokes, so he broke out the weed... and they are all still sleeping in the middle of the lake.

Mike -- he got caught meat gazing and now some of those backwoods cops are having there way with him, deliverance style

James – Got arrested for being too wasted.

Sven --  My guess is he will say that the only road down from the cabin was closed due to the fire. Which we all know he started.

Carmack -- He went swimming in Tulalip and the tribe harpooned him.

Tim -- he was drunk and caused there boat on the lake to roll over…..  Thus caused  the car keys to sink and the cell phones to short out!

This morning we talked about the Green Day show...I know I say this a lot, but this was one of the best shows I have ever been to.  I have seen Green day 6 or 7 times, and this one was the best one yet...and they are always great!  The highlight of the show was when they pulled a 16 year old kid out of the crowd to play the 9 minute epic song "Jesus Of Suburbia" with them...Billie Joe Armstrong let the kid use his guitar, and the kid nailed it.  his name is Kamran Imran, and we had him on this morning to talk about his experience.  Here are some of the highlights:

He isn't from Seattle...from California...flew out to see this show.

This was his first Green Day Concert.

After they finished the song,  drummer Tre Cool  let him watch the next song from behind his drum set & gave him drum sticks.

After that he was able to stand to the side of the stage and watched the rest of the show from there.

After the show the rest of the band hung with him & took pictures.

They gave him a bunch of  used guitar picks from bassist Mike Dirnt and Billie Joe.

Some girl offered him a “quickie “

He got invited to the after party

Green Day's manager told him that the band thought he was the best person they’ve ever pulled up on stage & the band couldn't stop talking about that after the show.

Here is the performance:

Day 773 (07/02/09) No Solicitors!

The morning began with us discussing unannounced guests.  BJ shared a story about how last night, him & his wife were winding down their night…getting a lil’ frisky, and his cell phone rang, it was one of his daughters friends dad & BJ ignored the call.  Then his home phone rang, it was the guy again…BJ figured he would just listen to voicemail, but before BJ could access the voicemail account…his doorbell rang.  BJ had to get dressed, and answered the door…and it was that guy!!!!!!  Seriously, what is up with this guys nerve…if BJ didn’t answer his calls, it was probably because he wasn’t available to chat…so why in the hell would he be available to chat at the door????  This really struck a nerve with me, as I HATE unannounced guests.  If my doorbell rings, and I’m not expecting friends, Chinese food, or pizza…I am not going near my door. 

Brad wrote in with a great email:

I remember one time like 5 years ago my aunt and grandpa came over un announced for my birthday to give me a card and my dad answered the door pissed off and told them both to leave and that was his own dad and sister. He was one that seriously hated that. -- Brad

My kind of guy!

Ugh…I just read this on the TMZ website:

We've learned legendary wrestler "Rowdy" Roddy Piper was busted for suspicion of DUI early this morning in Hollywood.

Law enforcement sources tell us 55-year-old Roddy, real name Roderick Toombs, was stopped by police at around 1 AM -- he was given field sobriety tests and then arrested.

Roddy's bond is $5,000.

Talk about strange irony…wasn’t it Roddy Piper, who made fun of Santino Marella one night on RAW about his real life DUI.  Hmmmm…yes it was!  Now my favorite wrestler of all time got busted for a DUI, as did my all time favorite current wrestler.  Damn…I need a drink!

Here is that clip, the whole clip is funny...but the part where he goofs on Santino is at about 6 mins15 seconds in:


Looks like Hot Rod needs that same designated driver!

Day 772 (07/01/09) I Said I’m Not On Steroids!

This morning we talked about the idiot in Oregon that called 911 because they screwed up his order…it’s amazing how many people will call 911 about food…people must be really hungry to get that mad that they will need the police to get involved in a food dispute.  This guys was a real moron…check out this part of the story:

Jeremy Lloyd Martin, 23, was charged with improper use of the 911 service, the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office said. He spent a night in jail over the incident.

According to a tape of the 911 calls released by Clackamas County 911, a man initially told a dispatcher that he was at the McDonald's near the intersection of Southeast Sunnyside Road and Southeast 82nd Avenue and needed help. The man said he had paid $10 in the drive-thru but only received a single burger and a fry before he was told to pull around.

"Sir, this is not a police matter," the dispatcher told him. "You need to take it up with the manager of the McDonald's."

But a person who identified himself as Martin called back demanding that dispatchers send a police officer to the scene and threatening to sue.

"This is a 911 emergency," the person said. "I got robbed for eight dollars."

"Sir, 911 is life-and-death only," the dispatcher said. "If you do continue calling 911 you will be arrested for misuse."

"Well, arrest me at (expletive) 82nd and Sunnyside Road," the caller responded. "Please send a cop right now. I swear to God all my life..."

Here is the audio of this:



We then Double R brought up a story of some idiot that called 911 & told the dispatcher he wanted a police escort to see the rapper, Lil Wayne, in concert in Miami. We listened to the audio, and they guy sounded high…Bj was amazed that someone would do something so dumb while high, which led to us taking calls about the dumb things that our listeners  have done while high:

James – Thought it would be fun to go shooting after getting stoned with buddies…had to go to the bathroom, and was sitting in a sani-can, and his buddies were shooting at him.  When he got out of the bathroom…he started shooting back.

Derreck – Stole bowling balls and rolled them down a busy road!

Eric emailed us this:

I got stopped at a four way flashing stop light in spokane for twenty minutes while I was high :-) was by myself and there weren't any other cars. I was waiting for the green light!

Thanks to Zev Chafets for calling in…Zev writes for ESPN Magazine, and just put out a book called Cooperstown Confidential.  I found this book to be interesting because he does a great job of showing that baseball players of yesteryear (Hall Of Fame players) didn’t live a squeaky clean lifestyle, and were no better than the players of today…yet these guys of today are not being elected in the Hall Of Fame because of the steroids allegations…here is some interesting stuff from the book, and from the article he wrote in ESPN Magazine:

In the course of doing research for my book, Cooperstown Confidential, I found that the Hall, like any shrine, is full of secrets. Here's the worst-kept one: Not every immortal is a gentleman.

Tris Speaker and Rogers Hornsby, both of whom belonged to the Klan

Hank Greenberg and Joe DiMaggio had serious mob connections

Ty Cobb bragged of committing a murder and was suspected of fixing at least one game.

Grover Cleveland Alexander pitched drunk when alcohol was a federally banned substance

 Pud Galvin drank monkey testosterone

Mickey Mantle was forced out of part of the '61 pennant race by an infection he got from the needle of a quack doctor who shot him up with a concoction of steroids and amphetamine.

Sandy Koufax took so many nonanabolic steroids for his sore arm that he was sometimes "half high" on the field

Hank Aaron admitted to taking amphetamines once during a game.

All of them are in Cooperstown -- and the walls haven't crumbled.

Speaking of sports…huge thanks to Sacha Baron Cohen (Ali G, Bruno, Borat) for recording a sports intro for Double R, in the character of Bruno.  Bruno is in theaters next weekend…VASSUP!



Huge thanks to Kevin Smith, who called us out of the blue while on the set of his new film “A Couple Of Dicks.”  Kevin wanted to remind everyone that he is coming to the Benaroya Hall on Saturday October 17th.  Get tix by clicking HERE!

Day 770 (06/26/09)  Jacko Joke-O

Michael Jackson is dead at age 50.  We started the show off discussing it, and taking people’s calls about what they think, as it seems that tehere are 2 camps…the people that feel terrible & want to remember him for his huge impact on pop music, and the other camp that doesn’t feel bad & is glad that the accused child molester.  I’m kind of torn…it’s epic that we lost a man that changed pop music, but on the flip side…the allegations of child molestation, and having child porn in his house makes it tough for me to be too heart broken.  I mean…I don’t feel any emotion for Jacko’s death… Guess he never really touched me when I was younger.  Waka Waka!!!!!  Speaking of all the MJ jokes, this one is hands down my favorite of all the jokes:

Since Michael Jackson was 99% plastic, he will be melted down into Legos and little kids can play with him for a change.

Terry called in a shared this joke with us: 

Farah Fawcett died and went to heaven, she met god he gave her one wish. She asked for all the children of the world to be safe. So God killed Michael Jackson!

Thanks to Kyle Cease for coming in…how ironic is this…back in the day, Kyle was the guy that introduced a family he met at a comedy club in LA that have a kid with cancer…the kid’s wish was to meet Michael jackson …turns out this is the kid that sparked the child molestation charges that Jacko settled with the family out of court for over 20 Million dollars.  Sadly Kyle did not get a finders fee!  Kyle is at the Comedy Underground all weekend long.  Get more info at www.kylecease.com

Here are some of the jokes  we came across, of course I delivered em as "Breaking news from TMZ":

What's the difference between Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett? About 5 hours.

What does the king of pop eat for breakfast? Nothing, he's dead.

Doctors believe Michael Jackson's heart attack was a herditary problem. They think it is a result of a defective Billy gene.

I hear he wanted to be buried at sea - strapped to a couple of bouys.

Reports of Michael Jackson having Heart Attack are Incorrect!! He has been found in the Children's Ward having a Stroke!!

His heart couldn't take it when he walked into the store and realized he had totally misunderstood the concept of Babies R Us.

This is kind of like the end of the sale at the children's clothing store. They can now take down the sign that said: "Little boys' pants--half off!"

According to TMZ, friends knew it was serious when Jackson took time to remove his hand from the boy's crotch, to grab his own chest.

As a result of his death, Michael Jackson's London tour dates have naturally been cancelled. They were James (9) and Timothy (11).

MJ’s cardiac arrest was brought about when he found out that Boyz 2 Men were a boy band and not a delivery service.

TMZ has a story that is still developing…a major fast food joint is making a special Michael Jackson tribute burger…they wont say which food joint, but the ingredients include Its 50 year old meat between 10 year old buns.

Michael Jackson did manage to whisper a brief message to paramedics on his way to hospital..."Put me on the children's ward".

Jay wasn’t happy with my tone this morning…check out his email:

Steve,

Can you please change the topic? I find it very distasteful that you guys are making fun of the death of MJ. It’s a tragedy that we lost 3 famous people in one week. I will not be receiving my money from Publishers Clearing House now. And how in the hell can we loose 2 famous white women in one day?

Jay

Thanks to John Krasinski, star of the newfilm AWAY WE GO.  It's that movie with him and Maya Rudolf...both BJ & saw the film, and it's really good...the film is quirky & funny...check it out, it's a great date flick.  John also plays Jim on the Office).  Away We Go is in theaters now.

Huge thanks to Kevin Smith for calling in this morning....Kevin called to tell us he is coming to town on Saturday, October 17th at Benaroya Hall. Tickets on sale now through Ticketmaster

Day 769 (06/25/09) Jeep!

Today is a good day…I parted ways with Garvey, my Dodge Durango & for the first time in my life I now own a new car.  I don’t think I have ever been behind the wheel of a car with less than 40,000 miles to start off, so the fact that my car has under 200 miles is a cool feeling.  Yesterday I went over to Enumclaw Jeep to get myself a new car.  I’ve been eying and Jeep Wrangler, and check out my new car…I love it.

 

Huge thanks to Phil, Chad, Jimmy, Chris, Katie, and the rest of the cats at Enumclaw Jeep for all the help…they run a great dealership there, everybody was helpful & they have sweet cars. 

 

Check em out at www.enumclawcjd.com!!!!

While there I got to meet Kasey Kahne's mom, that was pretty cool…a real nice lady!  What was really cool is that in the Dodge part of the dealership there is a Kasey Kahne store where you could buy all things Kasey Kahne related, from polo shirts, to hats, to dog bowls!  Plus it's like a Kasey Kahne museum...they have some of his old gear on display, including one of his first cars!!!!  Seriously, if you are a fan of Kasey, or a fan of NASCAR for that matter...you should go check this out!

Thanks to Penn Jillette.  Check out the Season 7 premiere of Penn & Teller Bullsh*t! Tonight on Showtime.

Huge thanks to Bill Wixey from Q13 for coming in this morning.  Bill has been a bud of mine for a while now…fellow hockey fans, and we played together in the Celebrity Hockey Challenge last year…where he scored 2 goals on me as I played the role of swiss cheese between the pipes. 


Bill has gone public with his battle with Hodgkins Lymphoma Cancer, on TV and via the internet.  Check out Bill’s blog, an inspirational read, at www.blog.billwixey.com  & check out all the videos and other stuff on the Bill Journey page on Q13’s site by clicking HERE. 

Today we talked about this story, it's such a crock of b.s.!!!!!

HERE ARE FOUR THINGS THAT WILL MAKE YOU MORE ATTRACTIVE

Here are four steps . . . which are sure to make you more attractive:

1.  Exercise for 30 minutes a day:  What's that you say?  You're too lazy to work out for 30 minutes a day?  OK, fine . . . but it's your loss.  Why? Because exercise is pretty much guaranteed to make you look better, and it'll also improve your self-confidence . . . which will help you with the ladies. 

2.  Get rid of that excess hair:  Let me ask just one question:  Do you think your back hair and unibrow are HELPING your chances with women . . . or HURTING them?  That's what I thought.

3.  Iron your clothes:  I know what you're thinking . . . why should I bother ironing my clothes?  It takes forever . . . and, anyway, it's pointless. Well, there's a simple answer:  Because WOMEN like guys who look put-together . . . and an ironed shirt will help you look that way. 

4.  Wear a white shirt:  I'm not quite sure why, but when a guy wants to look classy . . . there's nothing better than a clean, white shirt.

Day 768 (06/24/09)  Haters!

Today the show started late…we thought it was because BJ got into a fight with his wife, but we were wrong…it was because he was in the middle of a flame war with a listener over an email that the guy sent the show.  Here is that original email:

In the last month your show has been rerun garbage for 3 1/2 weeks of that time. I thought Howard Stern was bad at taking time off (and at least he had talent) but you guys suck. I'm done listening to your regurgitated crap. 

BJ went back & forth with that guy & told him if he hates us & likes Howard that he should stop listening, and to subscribe to Howard.  The guy then said he doesn’t want to waste his money (huh?), and BJ should be able to take criticism.  So because of that email, BJ wondered why someone that hates the show, listens to it…so we opened up the phone lines & emails  to find out if there are people that hate BJ, and why they still listen.

Miah – Thinks BJ is a hypocrite, that he rants about stuff people could care less about, hates when he goes off on the Rev (although she thinks he is a retard).  She listens because despite that she thinks it’s funny & loves Double R, and Toppy’s laugh.

Brad –  Thinks BJ is his least favorite part of the BJ Shea Morning Experience. 

Chris – Hated BJ at first, but the show grew on him.

Sam – Hates everyone on the show but BJ.

Alex – Likes the blend of people on the show, but his problem with BJ is that he is a flip flopper & a hypocrite.  Doesn’t think BJ is very professional.

Whitey – Likes the points that BJ brings up, but he goes on & on about things & beats the dead horse.   Hates when he rants about the same thing over & over.  Likes the Nut Hut!

Day 767 (06/23/09)

Today I’m in a bad mood…download the end of the 6’er & beginning of the 7’er to fully understand what happened.  Like I said on air…I hate when people promise things will be better & things will improve, and then nothing changes.  I came up with a theory…I think some people out there like not making a lot of money for one simple reason—so that they can complain that they don’t “make enough” in their job.  I think those people would be afraid to make more money, because with more money they lose the ability to complain…almost like they think they are a hero for doing their job for little pay.  Whatever.

I also have a hair across my ass because my stupid Durango broke down again last night.  I was heading to the media screening for Transformers when my engine started smoking.  Turned out the radiator hose blew, and coolant juice was all over my engine.  I need to get a new ride, but I am still paying on this car…I call my car Garvey.  Why?  Because it’s a Dodge, which makes me think of the Dodgers, which makes me think of the greatest Dodger of all time—Steve Garvey.  After I drop the car off  (near 220th & Aurora), I decided it would be a “fun” idea to walk home from the shop…mind you I live near 176th & urora in Lynnhood.  Boy was that a bad idea.  A really bad idea. One hour & 15 minutes later I finally get home.  My feet were killing me.  Thankfully when I got home I got to watch WWE RAW commercial free.  I love how they said how Donald Trump was giving RAW to us commercial free…but oddly enough the announcers were kind of hungry I guess and there were 2 big buckets of KFC grilled chicken by them for the whole show.  Hmmmmm.  It’s funny because I drive Aurora & always wonder “who the hell walks these streets.”  Well, I guess me, crackheads, hookers, and people waiting for the bus.

Day 766 (06/19/09) The Bachelor

this will be a short blog, as my computer is giving me issues & it's Friday...so I am gonna bust outta here soon.

Huge thanks to Jason Mesnick for coming in this morning.  Jason was on the Bachelor this year, and he is from around here...he is the guy that dumped that Melissa chick on National TV for the runner up on the show -- Molly.


 
We learned that he is still with Molly, and you can meet both of them tomorrow...Jason came in to promote his Father's Day Fun-athlon." At the Bellevue Park, tomorrow (June 20). The event, which runs from 11 a.m.-2 p.m., is geared toward dads and kids, and includes a piggyback run and gummy worm push-up contest. In addition to Jason, Molly, The Mariner Moose, some Seahawks, and other will be there. I never watched the show, but we had Jason in studio for 2 hours...he was a real cool guy.

Thanks to UFC fighter Antonio Rodrigo Nogueuira for calling in.  "The Minotauro" is coming to Portland in August!!!  he called in to promote that UFC 102 is Saturday, August 29th in Portland, Oregon – Live on PPV! He is fighting Randy "The Natural" Couture and more information can be found at www.ufc.com.  Fun fact about Antonio that illustrates how bad ass he is:

He was run over by a truck when he was eleven, and fell into a coma for four days. During this time he lost a rib and part of his liver and had to be hospitalized for eleven months. As a result of the accident he has a large scar, including a noticeable indentation, on his lower back. A miracle from the doctors saying that he will never walk again. Now he is a UFC superstar -- a true miracle.

Day 765 (06/18/09) Autographs!
 
The show started off with BJ talking about something that dumbfounded all of us...BJ has the strangest toilet paper issues.  Apparently BJ has an old house with a toilet paper holder built into the wall, and if he gets a certain type of T.P., it won't fit properly in the holder.  I guess not all T.P. is the same length...Mont emailed us & did some research on this:
 
I just measured 2 different roles of TP & BJ is correct! One is a a centimeter longer then the other. Rock on
 
This morning we were talking about Alex Rios of the Toronto Blue Jays blowing off a kid autograph seeker...and also how Ashton Kutcher  admitted on his Twitter how he thinks Autographs are annoying.  I then shared a story of how when I was a kid, and we were waiting for my Uncle peter to get off a plane from Club Med, and Billy Joel was getting off the plane as well...when I ran up to him (I loved Allentown) & asked for his autograph...he looked at me and said "F**k off kid."
....  
 
We wound up taking autograph horror stories, and here are some of the stories we were told:
 
Rick -- at age 11 got blown off Hershel Walker, in fact said that "y'all ain't got the type of autographs to get my autograph"
 
Tim  -- When he was a kid he walked up to Ken Griffey Jr.  & asked for an autograph...Ken said yes,  took the pen, and then threw it at Tim's head & drove off.
 
Chris -- Tried to get Dog The Bounty Hunters Autograph, and Dog told him to leave him the "F" alone, and if he doesn't Leland is gonna get him out of his sight.
 
Corina -- Shawn Kemp was a jerk to her daughter when asking to sign her shirt.
 
Kolee -- Asked Dennis Rodman for an autograph & it didn't go well.
 
Today we payed tribute to an old friend of the show from the BUZZ days...Perry Manley.  Perry used to be on the show to chat about his child support horror stories.  he would come in with Greg Howe from The Other Parent, and Greg joined us this morning to talk about Perry, Child support issues, and a Rally he is a part of on Saturday.  More info can be found at www.toprights.org
 
Here is the news story about what happened to Perry 4 years ago:
 
PERRY MANLEY STORY – June 21, 2005
A man described as angry about child support rulings was shot to death while brandishing an inert hand grenade in the Seattle Federal Courthouse.
Hundreds of judges, jurors, employees and prisoners in the 23-story building were evacuated and surrounding streets were as dozens of police cars responded.
Officers could not tell that "what appeared to be a World War II-type of grenade" was inert until after the shooting.
The man, dressed in camouflage, was identified as Perry Manley, 52, of Seattle.
Perry had frequented the courthouse as well as the federal office building and often expressed "a disdain for the federal government as well as some of its policies," U.S. Marshal Eric Robertson said.
Susan Calhoun, Manley's former wife, said he became embittered and quit a high-paying job after their divorce in 1990 when a judge ordered him to make support payments for their three children.
Years ago, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reported, Manley paraded down a Bremerton street waving a flag and wearing little more than a sandwich board that read, "State Raped."
Manley came under investigation by the FBI after U.S. District Judge Thomas S. Zilly denied his attempts to bring a state lawsuit to the federal level. Cases brought by Manley also were rejected in 2001.
In a letter filed in court in April of 2005, Manley accused Zilly of treason, adding that such a crime was punishable by death. Subsequently, on a fathers' rights Web site, he wrote that he was visited by two federal agents.
On the day Perry walked into the Federal Courthouse, he arrived shortly before noon with a backpack that he later strapped to his chest. Witnesses said he tried to skirt security in the lobby and began shouting threats.
The backpack contained unspecified court documents and a living will, indicating he might have expected police to shoot him, as well as a cutting board which the man may have intended to use as a protective device.
Security officers were unable to talk Manley into putting down the grenade, police were called and after about 25 minutes of negotiations "Manley made a furtive movement," Robertson said. "At that point the officers had no choice but to stop that threat."

Day 764 (06/17/09) Gilbert!
 
Huge thanks to Gilbert Gottfried for calling in this morning.  Gilbert was hilarious this morning as we discussed some of the strange roles he has had in movies.  Gilbert is at the Snoqualmie Casino Thursday night.  We also talked to him about his infamous roast of Hugh Hefner which inspired the film "The Aristocrats."
 
Gottfried famously told the venerable Aristocrats joke at a Friars Club roast of Hugh Hefner just three weeks after the September 11 terrorist attacks. Gottfried's quick wit saved what could have been a notorious disaster. He began his monologue joking that he had intended to catch a plane, but couldn't get a direct flight because "they said they have to stop at the Empire State Building first." Audience members nervously responded with gasps and cries of "Too soon!". Gottfried first thought this was relating to the speed of his joke. Gottfried then abandoned his prepared remarks and launched into the Aristocrats joke, effectively winning back the audience and having roastmaster Rob Schneider literally falling out of his chair laughing. When the laughter and applause had subsided, Gottfried commented, "They might have to clean this up for TV," to more laughter and applause. Penn Jillette and Paul Provenza used Gottfried's monologue as a segment in their 2005 film, The Aristocrats.
