February 6, 2012 Here are some of my and my Facebook friends status' updates from the Super Bowl...
Jim: "I'm not sure what's going on. Some kind of sporting event??"
Big Daddy Ron Brand: "Nice day for kayaking. Is it a crime if I go to bed before kickoff?"
Paul: "Watching the Super Bowl in my tattered old Lions hoodie. Someday"
January 26, 2012 Yep, January 26th, 1837 Michigan became a state! Whoo Hoo! Hey Michigan, you don't look a day over 157! ;) What's great about Michigan? Well we live here. We know. The people, the natural resources, the spirit. Now people all over the land can find out and see more about Michigan.
January 25, 2012 The commercial for Match.com says it: one in five relationships these days starts online. Who hasn't been online looking for a mate of some sort? Most people have. My friend Karen from Up North is one such person. She's looking for love, or something on Plenty of Fish.com. And she's getting quite the responses.
January 24, 2012 I live in Eastown, and love it! And no disrespect to my local fav hangout Schmohz's Brewery on Patterson (I do loves me a Sammi Rae Root Beer), news of the Harmony Brewing Company opening on Lake in Eastown at the end of the month is heavenly! Now you have to know something about me, I don't drink. Just never have. So why am I happy about a new Brewpup opening?
January 20, 2012 First there was the King of infomercials, Billy Mays. Then his heir apparent, Anthony Sullivan. Then came along...the enemy. Vince Offer. You know, the Shamwow guy. The double entendre king. In his commercial for the "Slap Chop", Vince tells you "you're gonna love my nuts". That was two years ago. Well, he's baaack!
January 3, 2012 Dirty Dancing. Footloose. Dennis the Menace. Sgt. Bilko. The Addams Family. The Beverly Hillbillies. The Brady Bunch. The list goes on and on. Movies made from TV shows. And rehashed ideas for TV shows. Kids living in Wisconsin (Happy Days, That 70's Show). Friends all living in New York City and hanging out (Friends, How I Met Your Mother).
January 1, 2012 Thank you from all of us (Bob, Tom, Matt, Craig, Cluck, Dano and Janna) for listening and making the switch to Classic Hits 98.7 WFGR! Every time we go into a business and hear the station on, meet a fan at an event, take a request on the phone or chat with someone on Facebook, just know we really appreciate each and every one of you for loving and supporting WFGR!
December 19, 2011 So I have a MetroPCS phone. Why should I pay 130 dollars a month for something I can pay 40 dollars a month for? I'm might be dumb, but I ain't stupid! Anyhoo, one of the ways MetroPCS keeps the cost down is to send little advertising text messages and polls. I got one over weekend. It was the answers to a recent poll. "College Bowl Survey"
December 17, 2011 My buddy Dave Kaechele who does traffic at WZZM TV 13 is a human guinea pig. They make him do all kinds of crazy stuff. On the first day of deer season, they dressed him up in goofy costumes. So yesterday they put him in the new fashion craze that's sweeping the nation. No, not Pajama Jeans, and the Snuggie is so last year. Now he's sporting...the Forever Lazy!
November 29, 2011 This whole week Neil Patrick Harris is sitting in for Regis on Live with Kelly Lee--oh wait. Reege is off starting a family variety show (good luck with THAT!) Last week, Reege's first out of the chair since October, Jerry Seinfeld was Kel's co-host. And it was bad. I mean BAD!
November 18, 2011 NBC is digging deep in the ol' TV grabbag. They have reportedly ordered a pilot of "The Munsters". The classic 60's monster sitcom could be on your 50 inch LCD flatscreen next fall. Well that's something.
November 15, 2011 The guys at J&D's have a mantra. Everything should taste like bacon. Simple as that. So when I get emails from time to time touting "bacon flavored salt" or "bacon flavored popcorn" my bacon radar lights up. Imagine my surprise when the email today started with "J&D’s Foods is pleased to announce the launch of baconlube! Yes, the world’s first bacon-flavored personal lubricant"
