The kids and I had a great weekend… It was so great to get to spend some time with them, they hadn’t been over in a while!  We hit the new Bob’s Big Boy , it was a win-win… They had apple juice for Bing and hot dogs for Lucy (Two things they don’t have at the Toluca Lake Bob’s).  Lucy has been big on her Littlest Pet Shop toys lately… We have been collecting stickers to get the platypus, it’s good to have goals.  Bing is still obsessed with golf balls, especially colored ones… He loved the orange ones I had printed with his name on them.

I told you all I’ve been helping with the radio club at Lucy’s school… It has been really, really rewarding.  If there was one thing that being emotionally and financially destroyed in this whole divorce process has taught me is that the most important things are not money related!  I feel so lucky that I have the time to go down and work with the kids, they are so great and eat up everything we’ve been teaching.  Lucy and Bing had to go with me on Monday (It’s currently only open to 4th and 5th graders), and Lucy told me when she is old enough she wants to join.  The other exciting aspect of this is that it is the pilot program, we are working hard to get it in other schools, which I will hopefully be involved in too!  It has also been cool all the positive response I have received from my friends in the business, people like Carson Daly ( Amp Radio) , Chuck Ide (Clear Channel engineering genius) and Jim Pratt (Voice of the Lifetime network, Disney Channel and many others) have all committed to coming down and speaking with the kids.  I’m sorry to go on and on about this, but it is something I am really excited about!!!!

Stench is rocking at the Jason Ellis Show, He seems to really love it, which is so cool… He has been so down and put up with so much crap, it is great to see him doing something he enjoys.

This blog cannot be all positive… it’s just not my style!  Did I mention I hate my apartment building?  I’m counting the day’s until my lease is up and I can get out of there… And give you all the exact details on where not to live!!!!!

This guy kind of rules.   There are “Exotic chickens?“  Killer wave.   Dog silencer!?!?  Do you believe her?  Gotta stay on schedule.  Betty is fine!!!  Congrats on the marriage.

Rock On, Jack

I was at the post office today… Why do people get so angry at the Post Office?  If you really hate it that much all their services are available online…  Really, if you’re that angry, most things can be done from your computer now, so stay home where no one will upset you.

Although there is someone I’m upset with, Carrie Prejean…  I would think it actually has to be hard to consistently be such an idiot.  The right wing should really be worried that they can’t find anyone who isn’t nuts to represent them… Wait, they have Palin.

I keep meaning to mention it, so why not right now?  My friend, Mike in GH, has a great blog – Farebox!  If you get a chance, check it out, not only is he very intelligent, but he has great insight.

It’s really weird to be so screwed…  In the past couple weeks I have been really financially wrecked.  I was thinking about it the other day, we had just finished interviewing Jamie Kennedy on the podcast, and I thought Hey, it’s so strange to be doing celebrity interviews and co-hosting a radio show while totally ruined, you think you’ll be pushing a cart full of your belongings when you no longer can afford to be a member of society, not hosting a show?  I’m sure things will turn around soon.

Are you ready for holiday travel?  It looks like the hard to get toy is going to be the Zhu Zhu Pet. He really wanted “Drinker of the Year!” Fire bad. A wedding to remember.  Does your daycare use straight jackets? Your dog wants a snuggie. The man wants to go.  Another spree shooting.  Scully in for 2010.  D.W.F. – drunk while flying.   Gay Jesus? Way to go community college.   Duck, they’re throwing cheese!

We’ve have a lot going on in podcast/CRN world lately.  Next Friday will be hosting the 10:30pm Craig Shoemaker show at the Ice House in Pasadena….  Which is really cool, because he is extremely funny!  On Tuesday November 17th well be hanging at Bob’s Big Boy in Sun Valley.  We’ll be enjoying happy hour from 6-8p and then broadcasting live from 8-10p.

Tonight on the CRN we had Vikki Ziegler in studio, she is a very successful family law attorney.  She was really fun to have on, she was intelligent and had a great sense of humor, she was in town for some television meetings, so hopefully we’ll see her on TV soon.  She also has a dating site for divorced people that she created, It’s currently free, so if your divorced and interested in dating check it out – divorcedating.com .

I apologize again for not being in much of a blogging mood this week, I’ve just been kind of bummed.  I’m so sick of being unemployed and all the problems that come along with it…  I would like to go back to the good old days where I go to work everyday and then they give me a paycheck… Or at least I think that’s how it works, it’s been a long time since I’ve done it.

Ethan’s show was excellent last night.  I highly recommend checking him out next time he plays.  Thanks to Kevin, Denise and Tomas for coming out to Hollywood and hanging out.

I am excited that the CRN is letting me take a more active role in things, I really feel like it has so much potential, we just have to hip some things up.  I think it’s cool that they have started running Air America programming this week on CRN 4 (it’s Liberal talk radio…  Which includes a show hosted by Chuck D)… Don’t worry Stretch, there’s plenty of right wing stuff on their other channels.

I’ve been thinking a lot about my marriage lately, and the aftermath.  It is so weird how you can love someone and think you know them, only to find out you didn’t really know them at all.  When start a relationship, you not only give your heart, but your trust… I think it is easier to heal the broken heart than it is to trust someone again.  It is sad to live your life wondering what is hidden, what is there that lies beneath the surface, but that is what you are left doing after a divorce.

This is not how newlyweds are supposed to act.  Little maniac.  Was it the CRN van? I’m not alone.  She should not be driving!  I’m glad it wasn’t our buddy Chris Judd.  Gotta get to court.  Another happy newlywed.  Guess who’s not going to win the Good Sport Award?

Have a great weekend!!!

State Shirt (aka – Ethan aka – My sisters boyfriend) is playing a show at 10pm on November 5th at the Hotel Cafe, If it’s not past your bedtime, I highly recommend you check it out… He’s really good!

There’s a new Farrell’s opening in The O.C.  I like this trend of old restaurants from our childhood making a comeback!  Like all the new Bob’s Big Boy’s that have opened…  And did I mention that the one at the 5 freeway and Sunland has a lounge!

Don’t forget, If you want to hang with Stretch and Me during our show on Friday just come on down to the CRN studios… We’ll be having a costume contest and performing the show live, it should be fun.

Do you want to read this book?  Another reason dogs rule.  I do I get this Un-Job. Who’s scaring who?   He gets to wisecrack in the showers now.  This is HORRIBLE!  Tweet and win.  Attack dog!

Rock On, Jack

Should you get your kid a cell phone?  One tough kitty.  The secret ingredient.   Elephants hate rich guys!  Stretch’s dream girl.  See Ferris this weekend.  Free Patti Smith concert Thurs night.  Everybody sing “Don’t let your kids stay at the Y-M-C-A“.  R.I.P.  Akituusaq!

Rock On, Jack

We will have other favorites and menus will continue to change, but on that Monday evening on a warm August day we lost a tiny family tradition.

Rock On, Jack
