find me a jolly fat man

Happy Hour — The Show That Never Ends is taking tonight off. Even though the Titans won and Jacque’s still got all of her teeth, we’re very busy around the studio getting prepped for the trip to West Virginia.

While we’re gone, you’ll have your chance to catch up. If the family gets to be too much, there will be a very special pre-recorded Happy Hour Christmas bonanza that will play while we’re gone. We’ll be back next Sunday night for our “It’s the End of the Year as We Know It (and B-Dub is probably pissed off)” special.

For those of you traveling, please be careful. We’re really thankful for the audience we’ve built over the last few months in our new setup and I know we’re really excited about what 2009 will bring. This show wouldn’t mean anything to us without you. If we were interested in hearing ourselves talk, we’d just set up a tape recorder at home and play it when we’re bored.

So, to all, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, have a rocking Kwaanza, Eid your heart out and enjoy the solstice. (I think we covered everybody … eeesh.)

up tonight: the rundown

Ah, kids, only 10 days remain until Christmas Eve. Shopping? What shopping? Well, you still have time to order things online, so why not do that AND listen to us at the same time tonight?

In no particular order, here’s what we’ll be tackling tonight’s edition of Happy Hour – The Show That Never Ends on Radio360Talk.com:

* So, we’re sorry your cable box blew up and set your house on fire, but we’re still going to need the $88 for it
* Think you could eat on $1 a day? These people did.
* Hey, let’s go to Google and plan our trip on the D.C. Metro … oh, wait.
* Here’s one black list we all can enjoy — movies that didn’t quite make the cut in 2008. And they say Hollywood has no original ideas!
* Attention Plaxico Burress: “The cat did it” IS a viable excuse
* So the KFC chicken cutlets took a bath in the sink. Wait till you hear what we did during our food service days.
* Stupid criminals, stupid humans, stupid news of the week
* Your calls … anything goes, just dial. It’s 956-790-8255.

We’ll see you at 8 p.m. tonight … we’ll likely have a giveaway or two, so make sure you’re tuned in. Our Big Ass Prize Box is spilling over and we need to make room for new inventory that makes its way here weekly. And, as always, you can hang out with other kids as cool as you in the chat room (click the link on the site. It’s that easy!) or send us a message through the little Chatterbox you see on the page.

Come on. Don’t be the last one that knows what time it is.

up on the show tonight: holi-dazed

Here’s what to expect (well, maybe) for tonight’s show:

* Jacque got her first real tree, but it brings up the debate of real vs. fake. Much like boobs, everybody’s got a position on this one.

* OJ Simpson: It’s disappointing that the search for the real killer’s going to be on hold for about, oh, nine years or so.

* Jacque’s probably going to be out of a job soon … Seems every newspaper in the country is falling apart. Why? Should I kill a local blogger? Should I just start blogging more?

* Gift Giving in a recession, worst holiday gift ideas, gift ideas for men.

* Men are dying out. I can’t say that bothers me.

* As always, the ever popular weekly roundup!

Of course, we’re always ready for your calls. The number to join in is (956) 790-8255 or you can interact with us in the chat room (click!) or the little chatterbox on the page!

It all gets started at 8 p.m., so we hope to see you there.

Oh, and Dallas sucks.

taking the night off

Greetings, kids! We’re taking tonight off so we can fully sleep off this turkey hangover from Thursday. We’ll be back live and in charge next Sunday night, so how’s about you clear your schedule now for three hours of programming? You’ve got us for two hours followed by the Internet’s BEST music show — The Setlist — right after. That’s a good way to spend your Sunday.

Keep it tuned to Radio360Talk.com — and go check out the new programming if you haven’t already!

tonight’s (special) show: the rundown

It’s Ladies Night here at Happy Hour — The Show That Never Ends. Well, for at least part of it, anyway.

Join Jacque and host of the Setlist Paige tonight as B-Dub comes in at the beginning but then slinks away to attend to some “business” and continue to softly mourn the defeat of his football team at the hands of a Wrangler Jeans spokesman.

Here are a few things we’ve got on the plate for tonight, but who knows which way this will end up? We’re definitely taking it light tonight because it’s been a long week, we’re about to hit a holiday and everything goes into insanity overdrive from this point forward (Can you say family visits, pumpkin pie, turkey and grandmas with digestive problems? And that’s just the last time Jacque went home.)

* You think your job is stressful? Get a load of these. (It’s no surprise that coming into the holiday shopping frenzy, we feel for our brothers and sisters in retail).

* Was there REALLY a Captain Morgan? Or Jack Daniels? (If only we could manage the in-studio research)

* Eating that will kill you. No! Just kidding. These myths are dying to be destroyed.

* You ever pass a road sign and think, “Hey! That would be a great band name?” I do. Every day. And after seeing this list, it’s a good idea I’m not involved in picking band names.

* Note to people who take nudie pics with their cell phones: Don’t leave it at McDonald’s.

* The traveling stripper pole. Who says the economy’s in the toilet?

* The Roundup — Your look at the week’s odd stories.

* Your calls! (Hey, liberals! This is a B-Dub free week! It’s your chance!!!)

You can send us a message, also, through the little chatterbox you see on the page. And if you’d like to actually be where the action is, click on the “chat” button and hang out in the room with the rest of us.

We’ll be live at 8 p.m., so we hope you can make it. Yes, we know that ‘24′ comes back tonight, but that’s why TiVo exists. Nobody loves Jack Bauer more than me, and I’m putting him on hold.

the rundown: tonight’s show!

We’re back live this week, and we’ve got a hodge podge of a show put together. (Mostly because almost all of key prep time was done in the midst of the Titans going 10-0, but I digress …)

* Hey, crappy parents … Nebraska’s calling. (Come on … when is it too much? If your kid has a license, a hospital drop-off is NOT OK.)
* The debate over the Pledge of Allegiance is heating up in … Vermont. Which, in this time of the year, is the only thing above freezing up there!
* The unhealthiest city in the world is … Huntington, W.Va. They’d be around to care, but they’re at Stewart’s having chili dogs and root beer.
* Excuse me, President Obama? You’re gonna have to put the BlackBerry away until … 2017.
* Sirius-XM … that’s not all it’s cracked up to be. Raise your hand if you didn’t see that one coming. Anyone? Anyone?
* Girl upset that her pierced-up husband can’t take her to prom. Pierced-up husband.
* In sports, Jacque thinks ending a game in a “tie” is a cop-out and is not surprised that our kids are all turning out to be wussies.
* Much, much more … A news stack about six inches high awaits.
* Of course, your calls … what would it be without one?

The call-in number is (956) 790-8255. You can also reach us through the chat room on our site or by sending a message to us in the little chatterbox you see on the page.

We’re live at 8 p.m. only on Radio 360 Talk.com! Hope to see you there!

the rundown: tonight’s show … oof.

No live show. I’m feeling a little like I’ve been run over, so we’re taking the week off.

But, there’s a brand new Setlist (Paige’s show!!) at 10 p.m.!! Make sure to listen in for that!

We’ll be back for next week, keeping it real like we normally do. Do people keep it real anymore? I may be behind the times.

the rundown: tonight’s show

It’s spooooooooky Sunday here at the Radio Ranch, so that means we’ll kick off tonight’s edition of Happy Hour — The Show That Never Ends by talking about Halloween. We’ll hit on a variety of Halloween-themed topics from the cheap ass costumes we had as a kid to when did this become a holiday for grownups? And because I’m a communist and I hate Halloween, this should be fun.

Also, we’re going to talk about Epic Failure Ashley Todd, but you may better know her as the absolute IDIOT who kicked her own ass and carved a backwards B on her grill all in the name of being a good Republican. There may be some “Tips for Kicking Your Own Ass” included. You’ll have to tune in to see.

We’ll follow that up with a look at a lawsuit in Tennessee involving Starbucks, hot cups and how NOT to drive while consuming hot liquids.

Also, negative feedback on eBay could get you sued for libel. Voicemail messages left for people who sell on Craigslist are just funny.

Drinkers are just happy, smokers are just coping.

A full roundup of news, your calls, and a whole lot more!

The number to join in is (956) 790-8255, or you can send us a message through the chatterbox on the page or hang out in our chatroom on our Web site. It’s all live tonight at 8 p.m. at Radio360Talk.com. We hope to see you there!

(Also — make sure to stick around AFTER the show for this week’s brand new edition of The Setlist, hosted by Paige! The show will feature some great music from the best in indie artists she can find. You won’t want to miss it!!)

up tonight: the rundown!

Here’s your preview to what we’ll be talking about on the show tonight:

In our quest to be “relevant” and “topical” … we’ll spend our first our (sigh) being all political and stuff. We’ll talk a little bit about the debate (prepare to start your B-Dub drinking game early), Sarah Palin being all mavericky on Saturday Night Live (hey thanks, Sarah. Nobody was watching it until now!) and Colin Powell endorsing Barack for president. Ever the lovable Libertarian, Jacque will attempt to provide reasoned balance to B-Dub, which may result in one of them sleeping on the balcony for the next few days.

In the second hour, we’ll lighten things up considerably with everything from “the vacuum cleaner incident” to “How NOT to get your new hire to stick around.” We’ll also talk a little bit about my favorite NFL player of all time, Pacman Jones and round it up with Ask A Guy. (Note: If you are playing the B-Dub drinking game, I’d likely go get a refill during the top of the hour break.)

Of course, if you’re feeling particularly saucy, we’d love to hear from you. Give us a call at 956-790-8255 or send us a note through the little chatterbox you see on the page. Also, you can join the rest of the gang in the chat room by visiting our Web site, Happy Hour — The Show That Never Ends.

We’ll see you live at 8 p.m. on Radio360Talk.com!

the show: tonight’s rundown

Here’s my … show-pourri.

Ha! I totally couldn’t even resist using something as awful as that for tonight’s rundown. That’s about the worst pun I’ve made in days. I’m proud of that one. I’m going to take a moment to reflect on the pride I’m feeling for “show-pourri.”

(Reflecting)

Alrighty! Up tonight on the show, we very well may talk about these things:

• Elvis is alive. I told you all this years ago.
• Women are crazy, and this story proves it.
• You have the right to not answer your phone for your sanity.
• Want your relationship to not suck? Howz about shutting up?
• Get lost on your way to the bathroom? It’s OK. It happens.
• Thank you Google for helping me prevent “e-WI.”
• Overeating can make you crazy. Seriously.
• Blondes may have more fun, but your lawsuit is stupid.
• If you hit an animal on the road … just leave it. Trust me.
• Oh, hey, so, sorry we put you in the morgue and you’re not dead.
• Grandma kills Grandpa after a night of drinking because she’s at her “wits end.” I’ve been there.
• Key to winning the lottery: Leave invalid girlfriend on the toilet for two years.
• OMG! We text. A lot.
• Barack Obama MAY not be a US citizen. They’re just saying. I’m not. And really, like actual U.S. citizens have done a bang-up job with the place …

And other news and mayhem as it comes up! And, of course, your calls. You can reach us at (956) 790-8255 or send us a message in the little Chatterbox to your right. If you want to mix it up with other likeminded, hot listeners, make sure to visit the chat room on our official Web home, Happy Hour — The Show That Never Ends.

We’ll see you live at 8 p.m. tonight!
