New column debut

I just posted my first column at Motor City Sports, check it out.

How Beyonce came up with the "Single Ladies" video idea.

I rarely listen to music radio so forgive me if I am way late to this one, but have you seen the inspiration for Beyonce's "Single Ladies" video?  It is from something called "Mexican Breakfast" which is a hilarious dance number by some old Latino babes. 

This is the original.

This is Beyonce's version. (Sorry, Sony won't allow me to embed it)

This is the mixed version.

I love the old Mexican broads getting into it toward the end of the video.

Looking to save cash?

Ok, Noah's school is selling Entertainment books to raise money for playground and gym equipment.  I am only posting this because I LOVE the entertainment book, I use it all the time. It cost $20 and can save you a ton of money if you use it.  So, if you are looking to save some cash and your kids school isn't selling them, Noah would appreciate your support.  The link is.... Noah's school code is...055-321.

Cool thing is the company is based in Troy so you are helping a local company and saving some cash.  Be sure to buy the book for Detroit!!

I've bought 2 Detroit books and will give them away here on the web site.

Thanks!

Starting to feel Ike.

Apparently Ike isn't going to touch Austin as we thought it would, but we are starting to feel the winds tonight.

We were hoping for rain but the forecast is just for 40 mph winds here in Central Texas after the original drenching that was forecast.

There are plenty of evacuees as all the Round Rock schools closed early today to allow the schools to be converted to shelters for our fellow Texans who are arriving from Houston.

East Texas is getting slammed, pray for the people who are losing everything.

Here comes Hurricane Ike!

Hurricane Ike is suppose to make an appearance here in Austin on Saturday.  I am actually very excited for Ike.  I've been near tornadoes and earthquakes but NEVER an actual hurricane.  I'm only excited because I know it will be weakened to a CAT. 1 by the time it get here, but we are still expecting a lot of rain (which we need) and some strong wind.  Some are saying the wind could be as high as 70-80 mph.

We are preparing for the wind by taking all the lawn furniture and kids toys out of the yard and storing them in the garage, I don't want them to be projectiles when Ike finally hits.

We are also on the good end of the weather at Jungle Java as everybody who was planning an outdoor birthday party this weekend is looking for a place to come indoors, we are nearly booked solid on Saturday with kids birthday parties.

I hope this thing takes it easy on Southeast Texas as Corpus and Houston are in Ike's path, if it's a CAT 4 when it makes landfall, it could hurt a lot of people.

Jamie is on the move!

Congrats to my old morning partner Jamie Samuelsen who left WDFN last week to take another undisclosed radio job.  I have no clue where he is going but I wish him the best.  Indications are that there is some sort of no-compete clause which will keep him off the air for a short time but he should resurface in time for the fall rating period. 

Jamie's a good guy who will do fine wherever he ends up.  This is a great move for him as it appears there was no real future for him at WDFN.  This all started last November when he was fired from the morning show along with his partner Greg Brady.  He had to makes some moves to make sure his family was taken care of and he did.

Can't wait to see where he will end up.

I think Noah can "take me"

This is the picture I tried to post last night of Noah in his "attack position."  He really loves Kung Fu, but I think he likes making his mean face even more.

Here's a shot of the boys riding to the top of the "Tower of the Americas" a couple weeks ago when we were in San Antonio for "The Wiggles."

San Antonio is a really fun place to visit if you ever get to Texas, check it out.  It is a tad overrated but nice nonetheless.

I really enjoyed the Tower of the Americas and the Riverwalk.  The rest of the city isn't much to look at but it has its nice points.

Flounder making a name for himself

Remember "The Intern" contest Michelle and I did when Donald Trumps "The Apprentice" premiered?

The winner of that contest was Flounder from Howell, he worked hard and barely beat out Victor for the gig as our "Intern." We selected Flounder because we knew he was a young kid who would realy dive in and attempt to make a great career in radio.  We loved Victor too, but Victor was married with a job and we didn't think he would be able to make the economic sacrafices to make it in radio.

We'll, Michelle used her connections to get Flounder a cool gig in Grand Rapids and he is making the most of it like we knew he would.  Check out this story on WZZM channel 13 in Grand Rapids.  It is a stunt that Flounder did last weekend.

This kid has talent, keep your eye on him.  Michelle and I are thrilled for his success.
