Donut Shop 26: 2/9/10

Well, I just met Dan Gable and took his picture.  I literally took his picture, which means that I was not “in” the picture.  It was him and some other dude who said, “hey, can you take a picture of me and Dan Gable?”  I obliged.

Raises an interesting point.  Dan Gable.  Winner.  If you don’t know who he is, do yourself a favor and google him.  On the other hand, you have Peyton Manning.  Here’s a guy who’s in the conversation for being the greatest quarterback of all time, and yet if you really REALLY look at his playoff history, he’s a .500 quarterback.  Can you be the greatest of all time if you get to the big games and can’t pull it off?

Welcome to the Donut Shop for Show 26.

We’re on itunes, which ain’t friggin simple, let me tell you.  For some reason, podcasting makes you learn code.  CODE.  Actually, what podcasting teaches you is how to drink scotch all night while trying to figure out code, and then bail out and google up some program that’s 30 bucks which will do it all for you.  Plus by the time that rolls around, you’re not really in any condition to be figuring out code, so you’re happy to part with the money.   Then you go to bed and spend the next day trying to figure out the program, only to realize that the dude who gave you the server information made a typo that screws up your whole world until you call him and clear it up.  After that, it’s golden.

Anyways…….  You can’t pin that loss on Brett Farve, Vikings fans.  I got news for you.  The guy you hired to simply manage games all year has been an absolute rock star that’s carried your team to the playoffs, and the guy your team is SUPPOSED to be built around, fumbled 3 times and should have been benched.  So don’t go blaming your injured 65 year old quarterback you couldn’t bother to protect from getting his ribs smashed in all game.

Welcome to the Donut Shop, your forum for feedback live on The Now.  Let me know what you’re thinking, and I’ll probably let you know that I disagree with you, right on the air.  Leave your comments for tonights show right here.

Let’s see, Nate Kaeding had a complete meltdown, but the Des Moines Register still thinks he’s a winner.  We might bag up space exploration.  What else.  Red Light cameras are back in the news.  Haiti is the last place in the world to take a vacation.  Brett Farve turned 64 and fought a Kodiak bear to a standstill.  Is that enough?

Time to make the donuts; 2010 style.

We’re Coming Back………

…. next Tuesday.

That’s right.  The all new Now will be back on the “air” on Tuesday, Jan. 19th, 2010 at 8-9pm.  I say “air” because apparently our transmitter is borked.  However, most of you stream the show anyways, which is what you’ll likely have to do on Tuesday until they can send enough brave souls onto the roof to put it back up. 

So, See you Tuesday at 8.  Interns don’t arrive till the 31st, so don’t ask.  Maybe I’ll have tweaked the website by then, and added a little more flavor to the show.   Like I said, All New Now.

Show 22: 12/15/09

Last Show of the Year….. probably.

Who knows really.  But I can tell you this;  next year is gonna be special.  One word;

interns

Time to make the last donuts of 2009.

Show 21b: 12/8/09

Hot Subs take over!  Unfortunately, I’m out of town, and when you need a guy needs a sub, why not a hot sub.  Mmmm….. toasted.  What?  See, now I’m on the whole toasted sub thing.

Seriously, how could they not have come up with toasted subs before?  Quizno’s is first, and then the other sub people miraculously discovered what… the toaster?  Is the corporate world really that lame?  Is that question really that ridiculous?

Yes.

Time to make the donuts.

Show 21: 12/1/09

A couple things to start here, folks.

1: My wife doesn’t really drink milk.  Do you have any idea how hard it is to get a bowl of cereal in a house where there is rarely milk?  And it’s not like I’m always craving cereal.   It’s just, when a man wants some honey nut cheerio’s, there’s not much you can do you calm him down when he gets it in a bowl and there’s no milk.

2: Why do the people in Stormchasers (that show where they chase tornado’s) constantly want to “put down the probe” and get all this scientific information about the storm.  It’s a tornado.  This is not nuclear fission.  It’s caused by different air systems at different temperatures colliding.  And the result is a big spinning tornado.  That’s about it.  It’s either big, or really big.  And what possible information can we get from the tornado itself on the ground level.  What is that probe even doing?  Don’t you think we’ve pretty much missed the boat if we’re trying to get scientific information right in the middle of this thing?  Isn’t the information we’re looking for…. say…. how to predict these things and where they’re going to go?  Don’t you think that driving around in a minivan/tank, trying to put a “probe” down is kinda idiotic?

Man,   And I haven’t even gotten to Steven Seagal and his new reality show where he is ACTUALLY a deputy sheriff.  Somebody’s taxes are paying for this clown to play overacting-cops and robbers.

Holy cow.  I’m all worked up.

Time to make the donuts.

Show 20: 11/17/09

Welcome to the donut shop.  For some reason, people have been having difficulty posting.  You don’t need to make an account.  Just post.  There is a way.  I’m not an IT guy here, you can figure this out.  I’m just telling you that you don’t need an account.  Just put your name down and post.  You can do it.

 

Anyways, show 20.  Isn’t that some sort of milestone?  I want to say that 25 is a bigger milestone, but that makes no sense.  Why is 25 a milestone?  Because when you multiply it by 4, you get 100?  What’s up with that.

 

Time to make the donuts.

Show 19: 11/10/09

I can’t entirely tell if this is awesome or pathetic.  I’m at KRUI, in a back office, cramming down Chinese food.  I just bought a video game on the first day it was released (I had it pre-ordered).  I’m cutting out newspapers, getting ready for my radio show that I do for free.

 

I’m 30.

 

Something about this is either awesome or pathetic.
