Shocker! Nancy Grace Fakes Split Screen Interview

Jeremy Taylor — Mon, 13 May 2013 23:30:45 +0000

Presumably, Nancy Grace has some fans. The prosecutor turned talking head pundit has been hosting high profile shows for almost 20 years, after all.

But, for the most part, she's somebody everybody loves to hate. And Grace certainly gave the public another reason to ridicule her during a segment she did with Ashleigh Banfield.

Happy Mothers Day To My Favorite Mom.

Craig Russell — Fri, 10 May 2013 02:54:46 +0000

And while I love MY own mom, My “favorite” mom is… Stifflers’ Mom from American Pie. Face it, she is THE mom of all moms. The Mother of all mom’s. For many reasons. For starters, she’s is right here in Grand Rapids. The American Pie movies’ are famously based on the writers’ experience of growing [...]

I have always had a nickname. Early in school i was called “Waddles”. as in ” Weebles waddle but they dont fall down” I was a bigger kid in Middle school (I know hard to believe ) Then when I started to work at Putt Putt in Kalamazoo, I was “Gopher”. I would “Go for” [...]

28 Newspaper Fails. Read Em' And Weep.

Craig Russell — Fri, 03 May 2013 02:55:26 +0000

I was telling riddles to my son a couple of nights ago. “What has four wheels and flies?” A garbage truck. He didn’t get it. “What is black and white and read all over?” A newspaper I said. He asked “Whats a newspaper”. He’s 7. Kind of a interesting answer. He really has never–and might [...]

Did You Know? Flo From Progressive Insurance…

Craig Russell — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 19:35:35 +0000

…used to be on “Mad Men”? It’s true! And she used to be on “House,” “United States of Tara,” “ER,” “Angel,” “The Comeback,” “Everybody Loves Raymond,” and other cable shows. Really! Flo, better known in real life as comedian Stephanie Courtney, doesn’t do much other than her insurance gig anymore. A great story from Yahoo [...]

In Case You Missed It: Twinkies Will Be Back!

Craig Russell — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 13:30:12 +0000

From the “I was too busy sucking water out of my basement to see the news” file. TWINKIES WILL BE BACK!!! No offense to the Little Debbie company or any of the off brand bakeries who are pumping out “Golden cake with filling” snack cakes. Sorry but they aren’t the real thing. But the real [...]

Ryan Anderson — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 23:45:46 +0000

Last night (April 24) on 'The Late Show with David Letterman,' Steve Martin opened up about the daughter he welcomed with wife Anne Stringfield two months ago.

But if you were looking for squishy platitudes about fatherhood, you came to the wrong place.

Funny Things I Have Found Recently On The Internets. [NSFW]

Craig Russell — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 11:00:48 +0000

The fun thing about having to write blogs for WFGR.COM? I get to surf the net and find funny things. Some are just funny, others are hilarious, and some are just dumb. And some aren’t safe for work, so beware. Like the kid who started–and ended–his broadcasting career with a couple of ill-timed four letter [...]

The Funniest Facebook Page EVER!

Craig Russell — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 14:00:59 +0000

So Saturday night I was looking around the old Internets, and I happened upon a picture. A picture of The Mayor of Grand Rapids, George Heartwell, holding a sign. A sign that said four words. Four words that the Mayor may never live down. Four words that may get him re-elected eight more times. The [...]

Why I Love Living In Grand Rapids

Craig Russell — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 04:07:23 +0000

Tom Cook, from our sister station 100.5 The River, posted on his Facebook Page a couple of nights ago about swing dancing returning for the spring/summer to Rosa Parks Circle. “I love this city” was Tom’s exclaim. I love this city too, but another reason. In the midst of the worst flooding the city has [...]

The Webcam Of All Web Cams! BridgeCam! [VIDEO]

Craig Russell — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 18:00:45 +0000

Have you heard of this bridge in North Carolina? It's 11 feet 8 inches at it's clearance height...and it has ripped the tops off of over 60 trucks! I saw a story on CNN this morning of Jürgen Henn, a guy from Durham North Carolina, who happens to live by a low clearance train bridge on a busy street.

Again, Grand Rapids Makes National News…

Craig Russell — Thu, 11 Apr 2013 04:28:15 +0000

Except this time, we shouldn’t be that proud. Daniel Tosh, who will bring his comedy tour to Devos Hall this spring, hosts a snarky “watch viral videos and make fun of them” show on Comedy Central called “Tosh.0″ I have tried to watch it, but personally he and the show do nothing for me. Except [...]

Dont Fall For 15 Year Old Stories About Boobs

Craig Russell — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 11:15:57 +0000

If you know anything about me, You know I like boobs. And I’ll leave it at that. But recently a good friend of mine sent me a story on Facebook about how “Men who stare at big boobs for 10 minutes a day are healthier” Sounds good, right? I’m all for it. But, as always, [...]

Bearded Man With Giant Breasts-Baseball Is Back!

Craig Russell — Wed, 03 Apr 2013 14:30:11 +0000

I was enjoying the beginning of the new baseball season last night. Since I have Comcast, we have a free preview of MBL Extra Innings. Its a cable service for a fee, you can watch baseball games from all across the country. For me it's pretty awesome. Not only am I a White Sox fan and don't get to see many games, but I like watching the games from other cities.

April Folls Day 2013–Dont Get Fooled!

Craig Russell — Mon, 01 Apr 2013 06:35:38 +0000

Remember back in the day when radio stations used to do the BEST April Fools' Day stunts? If it wasn't an Underground Amusement Park or not being able to smoke in your cars, whole stations would change air talent or music all day long. Why we don't do them anymore I'm not sure. Maybe its a legal thing, I don't know.

Ford Bondage Ads From Around The World. [NSFW...Sorta of]

Craig Russell — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 18:00:39 +0000

Companies across the globe using advertising to sell their goods and products. Other countries do not have the standards or the couth that the US has. Hard to believe I understand. The Ford Automobile company overseas has gotten into some hot water for it's latest ad campaign. Its not really safe for work, but its not terrible. Just has to do with Bondage that's all.

Funny Pictures You Find On The Internets.

Craig Russell — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 13:21:30 +0000

I think about my life and how different it is from say, oh, five years ago. Sure things like my kids were smaller and the Lions were winning the first of their three straight Super Bowl Tit--oh wait. But there is one really big difference, besides the fact I wasn't working at WFGR...and it was how I use the internets.

A St. Patricks Day Parade You Didn't March In, Or Watch.

Craig Russell — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 10:08:44 +0000

And there’s a very good reason too. Not because it was a secret or they didn’t really hold it. Oh no, this St Pat’s Day parade is an annual tradition. It’s just really small. I mean REALLY small. Like one person small. From “World’s smallest St. Patrick’s Day Parade is made up of one person” [...]
