| 8/7/2008 1:45:58 PM Sitting in a sea of paper My desk is a mess. It is nothing less. It causes no stress. It's my fault, I confess. JC Chasez bobble head is looking at me. I am uncomfortable. I'm awash in a sea of paper. -Brent |
| 8/6/2008 12:29:25 PM This morning, I was drinking a cup of water, that was mixed with blue Hawaiian Punch mix. Janelle thought it was toilet bowl water...or windex. You don't want to drink windex. Trust me. For lunch, I had a bowl of clam chowder. Dale, our new guy, thought I was eating a bowl of mayonnaise. Gross. I've never eaten a whole bowl of mayonnaise (which has two n's, thanks Dale), but I have eaten some weird stuff in my day; alligator, grasshoppers, dog biscuits (biscuits made for dogs, not biscuits made of dogs), a live goldfish, and goat eyes (or they could've been baby onions). There are several things I'd like to eat, but I've never gotten the chance. I want to try this, but I've never gotten the chance. I'd also like to eat sharkmeat. I'd like try bear too at some point. I'd probably try lions and tigers too, just to complete the Wizard of Oz trifecta. Some have asked if I would try dog. Probably not...but cat is a different story ;) -Brent |
| 8/5/2008 12:50:42 PM Today on the show we talked about the Olympics. I really like games. It's a time when the world's best come together and celebrate sports. For a few weeks, every four years, the world forgets its problems. For a few weeks, we come together. For a few weeks, we seek common ground and celebrate our diversity. It is for these reasons, I love the Olympic games. That, and it's cool to watch Team USA's Basketball team destroy people by 50 points. -B |
| 8/4/2008 8:32:33 AM I made some interesting observations this weekend. Grilled Pineapple Cheeseburgers are good! I don't know why people wear stocking caps when it's 100 degrees... When dudes with long, curly, fro-hair wear baseball caps, they look like clowns. The trashiest gas station in the world is at the intersection of I35 and Hwy 166. Nasty. Thanks for reading. |

| 7/2/2008 11:31:50 AM I just found out some sad news....a large popcorn at the movies has almost 1300 calories....the good news, you can enjoy free refills all movie long! The bad news, you'll soon die of a heart attack... |
| 7/1/2008 11:23:58 AM I know you've been wondering, and so here it goes; random thoughts from my mission trip to Wyoming with World Changers: Does anyone ever vacation in Nebraska? I didn't think so... How many days in a row should you wear the same bandana on your head? Probably not 6, curly-haired 16-year-old dude from Texas... Prairie dogs are weird... Why does every group have that one lazy kid? A road trip to Wyoming and back is almost too long... You should be extra careful when stepping off a bus or off a ladder, you could blow out an ankle, right French and Perry? CY junior high showers are horrible, unless you enjoy zero water pressure, and shower stalls made of PVC pipe and pieces of blue tarp...and the L.O.N.D.(don't ask)... Sometimes 'coffee' tastes like dirty dish-water... There's nothing wrong with a 31-year-old man serving as assistant to a 14-year-old dude... Using a flag to hunt antelope may be a little immoral, but not illegal...apparently... A purple platypus named Hobart is a perfectly acceptable mascot for a baseball team named the "Ghosts." I now know how to install and frame new windows, hang new doors, and put in new storm doors! Woo-hoo! Keystone, South Dakota, has awesome salt water taffy. 6 people coming into a relationship with Christ makes it all TOTALLY worth it! For reals! Questions, comments, complaints, candy?

| 6/19/2008 11:07:28 AM OG&E has some good tips for saving sweet moolah this Summer. Here are some of the best tips: Set your thermostat at 76 degrees or higher...each degree can save you 4 percent of the cost of running the AC! Clean your air conditioner filters once a month! Use ceiling fans. They use about as much electricity as a light bulb. No joke! Lower the temperature on your water heater to 120 degrees and use an insulating blanket around your water heater. There you go, use these, and you'll save $1 million...or maybe less... |

| 6/3/2008 11:17:20 AM Doctors are calling Ted Kennedy's brain surgery a success. Did you know that he was awake for most of the surgery? That's awesome! If I ever had to have brain surgery, I would want to be awake while someone jammed their fingers and metal intruments into my medulla oblongata and hypothalmus. That's an experience I want to remember forever...you gotta cherish the memories...of people physically messing with your brain. |

| 5/30/2008 1:05:02 PM The Top 5 Most Ridiculous News Stories of the Week! William Singalargh, a dude in New Zealand who assaulted a teen, has been fined by a court and ordered to pay most of his fine to his victim. William’s weapon of choice? A hedgehog.

That's because the pair shook hands with one another Monday for 9 1/2 hours, trying to beat a handshaking record of about nine hours set by two Germans.! Is Rachel Ray a member of al-Qaeda? She was featured in a new on-line ad for Dunkin' Donuts wearing a checkered scarf that looks something like a Middle Eastern scarf that’s worn by some Muslim extremist groups. Duncan Donuts says it’s not, but to avoid controversy, they’ve pulled the ad anyway. |

| 4/11/2008 9:15:10 AM THE 5 MOST RIDICULOUS NEWS STORIES OF THE WEEK In VOLCANO, Hawaii, Volcanoes National Park was closed for two days as officials waited for a change in wind direction to blow away sulfur dioxide belching from one of the volcanoes. National Park officials said over 2,000 people were evacuated from the Big Island park. ...interesting that Volcano Park is dangerous. I gues I should cancel my visit to Angry Wolverines Just Wandering Around Freely Animal Reserve. Dubai's crown prince bought a camel for a record $2.7 million during a desert festival in the emirate of Abu Dhabi. I know this sounds expensive, but it was a pretty sweet ride, 22 inch rims, tinted windows, heated humps... In California, a wedding turned into an unforgettable first night for two newlyweds. Police said a bride and groom spent their first night as a married couple in jail after their wedding party got out of hand. When police had to return to their home twice in one night, officers stunned both the groom and his cousin with a Taser when they both became aggressive toward the officers. IN CINCINNATI, OHIO, Police say a trail of candy and wrappers led them to suspects in a break-in at a downtown candy store. Four people have been charged with breaking and entering. One of the four also has been charged with child endangering. Police say 19-year-old Christine Ruther had her 7-week-old daughter with her when she and three others broke into a candy store and stole about 400 dollars worth of candy. In Iowa, Cedar Rapids police say a woman chased down a burglar, hit him with an ice scraper and then made him pick up the stolen loot he dropped when he fled. Police were called to Derdre Rodriguez's home where they found her holding 16-year-old Jake Merfeld at bay with the ice scraper. Stay in school kids. See you Monday, BRENT |
| 4/7/2008 11:15:39 AM Today's a weird day. I only got about 5 hours of sleep last night, but don't let that fool you, I woke up about 5 times too. I think I know what the deal was. I had the worst allergy day of my life yesterday...horrible. I thought I was going to literally sneeze my head off. No, seriously, I thought I was going to sneeze so hard..that my neckmeat, dome, and neck bones would be separated with by a sneeze with such cataclystmic force, God himself would look down and say "What was that?" That's how I felt...so I ended up taking 4 allergy pills (not at the same time). I took 2 in the afternoon and two before bed. I also had a can of Dr. Pepper. I also watched "Return of the King" from the Lord of the Rings trilogy. It was on TNT in HD, so I pretty much had to watch. I think the combination of watching Rudy carry Fordo up the volcano and then Skinny Santa Claus flying in on an ealgle pretty much sealed the deal that I wasn't going to have a good night's sleep. Hopefully tonight will be different. I hope. Brent |
| 4/2/2008 11:18:28 AM I learned a new thing about my puppies recently. We took them to the vet and asked about their fighting. He said it's normal, and will continue until they determine which one is the dominant dog. I'm glad my parents didn't do that. Don't get me wrong, I was and am the top dog, but I don't think my brother Jeff and I had to fight it out to see who was number one. We got into some epic battles over the years. There was the time that Jeff and I, while wrestling in the living room, broke the couch. We were 17 and 15. There was the time (in college) where we almost shattered my coffee table in my apartment. (That one was just for fun)...and let's not forget the 3-way battle royale between Jeff, Me, and my older (6 foot 5) cousin Bobby. Bobby was taking up for Jeff, who he thought I was picking on at the time. I wasn't. Overall, I'm glad I'm not a dog. |
| 3/31/2008 10:37:57 AM Here's the article we talked about this morning about drivers and their cars! http://www.koco.com:80/automotive/15723996/detail.html?rss=okl&psp=news Does your car have a personality? |
| 3/27/2008 9:17:00 AM The following communication is from Paul, an online listener in MN: Years ago my mom had a funny event. She would often make iced tea in a large plastic cup and sometimes it would sit out over night. She had a habit of taking her morning pills by taking a swig of the tea. One morning as she was drinking, she noticed that she had left the tea bag in the cup. Upon further investigation, she realized that it was actually a mouse that had crawled up the cup during the night, fell in and drowned. She was a bit disturbed by it. Paul Fergus Falls, MN Thanks Paul, that's awesome! |
| 3/25/2008 1:16:40 PM Sooooo, everyone's up in arms about Hillary Clinton's comments about hiding from snipers in Bosnia...personally, I remember one of my most memorable appearances. It involved standing in front of a firing squad of fifty a couple of years ago. 
That's hard core...and I'm not even running for President...by the way...that's another whole blog all together... ...for reals... Brent |
| 3/24/2008 6:59:27 AM Since I now own dogs, my life has changed. I rarely take naps in the afternoon anymore. I'd rather watch my puppies run around my backyard than sleep. I often engage in 'baby talk' to my dogs. I used to think people were weirdos for doing that. I also enjoy going to the park and walking the dogs. Yesterday, they pups ran...RAN almost an entire mile! They were worn out! It was hilarious to watch. Human babies can't to that at two-months old... I've also become a lot more tolerant of people who smell like 'dog'. Brent |

| 3/15/2008 12:17:47 PM Recall news! A seafood company is issuing a voluntary recall in Oklahoma and 18 other states of its cooked langostinos because of possible listeria contamination. Slade Gorton & Company issued the recall for "Icybay Cooked Langostinos." The product was sold in retail stores in a clear plastic package marked with UPC 0-73129-61672-8. BEWARE OF THE LISTERIA! |
| 3/14/2008 8:35:31 AM The 5 Most Ridiculous Stories of the Week! In Danbury, Connecticut, officials have been notified they are being sued by a student who was awakened in class by a teacher who made a loud noise. Documents filed with the Town Clerk, a prelude to a lawsuit, claim that a sleeping student suffered hearing damage when his teacher woke him up by slamming her hand down on the boy's desk. In YELLOW SPRINGS, Ohio, trees are wearing sweaters. Wrapped around the trunks are colorful, crazy-quilt skins made up of panels of yarn knitted individually by residents and visitors. Family photos, poems and jokes peek out of knitted pockets. In NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — Contraband candy has led to big trouble for an eighth-grade honors student in Connecticut. Michael Sheridan was stripped of his title as class vice president, barred from attending an honors student dinner and suspended for a day after buying a bag of Skittles from a classmate. In MUNICH, Germany, a woman was stopped at the airport after baggage control handlers found the skeleton of her brother sealed in a plastic bag in her luggage. It turned out that the woman was trying to fulfill the last wish of her brother — who died 11 years ago in Sao Paulo, Brazil — to be buried in Italy. They produced the appropriate papers from Brazilian authorities for the transport, and were allowed to carry on their way to Naples — bones and all. In Arizona, an employee at an auto recycling yard wanted to siphon some gas from one vehicle into another. So he brought along the siphon hose and, because it was dark, something to light up the car he was siphoning from. Too bad he chose a lighter as his source of illumination. Four cars caught on fire. That's all for this week! Thanks for reading! Brent |
| 3/12/2008 5:50:25 AM You've heard me talking about them, now here they are! Allow me to introduce our new puppies, Mary-Kate and Ashley:  |
| 2/27/2008 9:17:25 AM How long will it take?! |
| 2/22/2008 9:34:03 AM Most Ridiculous! In Anderson, S.C., authorities say a man drove a stolen car to the Anderson County Sheriff's Office to demand the return of nearly $2,000 officers seized from him during a drug arrest last June. Emotiv Systems plans to start selling the $299 EPOC neuro-headset to let you control video games with your mind. The headset's sensors are designed to detect conscious thoughts and expressions as well as "non-conscious emotions. ...because people who play video games all day need to be even more lazy...I hope they invent a tray to catch the drool. A New York City man was mistakenly given access to a $5.8 million account under a man with the same name. The man was charged with taking $2 million from that account and spending hundreds of thousands of it. ...well you said it was my money... In Ohio, road crews are using a concoction of beet juice and salt that is kinder to concrete and metal. Road crews learned that pretreating highways with brine before a storm helps prevent the accumulation of snow and ice. Then they learned that adding beet juice to the brine could make the treatment effective at lower temperatures. I hope that they can also find a good way to use Beatlejuice. A South Carolina man is thankful for a DVD that ended up taking a bullet for him. Barry McRoy said he was leaving a Waffle House restaurant when two men ran in fighting over a gun. Police say a bullet hit one of the struggling men, shattered a window and then hit McRoy. Fortunately, the bullet hit and shattered the DVD and stopped there. It was a DVD on fire extinguisher safety. It would've been a better story if the DVD was something cool, like "Bulletproof Monk." There you go! Enjoy your weekend. Brent |
| 2/20/2008 11:22:46 AM Today was an interesting show. I hope you got to hear my version of Enrique Iglasias tune "Hero"...I slaughtered it. Janelle gave me a sticker that says "Superstar". I am one now. Our big question today was "How do you make an impact on a stranger?" Although we didn't specifically mention 'positive', we hope that was understood. I'm surprised we didn't get one of those "I like to make an impact on strangers by smacking them in the head with a live marlin" calls... This whole "Winter Jam" contest is going to be huge. Today, I found out about a big contest we're doing at the show...I can't tell you yet...patience... I think that's it for today. Thanks, and God Bless America Brent |
| 1/28/2008 10:15:38 AM Someone's an idiot! Someone had soup for lunch on Thursday. Someone thought it was hilarious that they used the last spoon so no one else could eat soup! Someone's having soup again today! Someone's an idiot... |
| 1/25/2008 10:05:15 AM The 5 MOST RIDUCULOUS News Stories of the Week! In San Francisco, Blue Bottle Café is now serving coffee from a $20,000 siphon bar to most discriminating java junkies. A cup of coffee from this contraption, which is described as the USA's first halogen-powered model, includes a "kaleidoscopic" range of flavors. In Malaysia, thieves stole an adult cow, squeezed it into the back seat of a car and drove off with it, but abandoned the animal when the getaway vehicle crashed into a tree. The cow was injured and they had to put it down. In California, Fat’s Grill now holds the record for the state’s biggest cheeseburger. It has 480 slices of cheese, 40 pounds of tomatoes, and 19 heads of lettuce. It totaled 222 lbs. In HOUSTON, TX, a mailer from, Dean Hrbacek, a congressional candidate contains a photo of his head attached to an image of a different body that makes him look thinner. His campaign manager Scott Broschart acknowledged to that the image is a fake. He said, "I think the voters are more concerned with the issues as opposed to pretty photo shoots." --Why would people be concerned with the truth? Scotland is considering lobbying the U.S. to lift a ban on haggis. The U.S. banned imports of Scottish haggis after Britain's outbreak of mad cow disease. Scotland's government insist its haggis is safe and wants the ban lifted. By the way, haggis is a dish where you cook a sheep’s stomach that contains the sheep’s heart, liver, and lungs. --The most ridiculous part of this last one is that anyone would eat haggis...period. |
| 1/24/2008 10:19:30 AM Today I'm eating soup for lunch...gumbo actually. I'm pretty sure I just got the last spoon in the building...for all you poor suckers who also brought soup...good luck eating it with a fork. Brent |

| 12/24/2007 6:25:51 AM Santa's got a new look. Janelle Keith scores a House FM exclusive interview! |
| 12/21/2007 10:29:15 AM It's the 5 most ridiculous news stories of the week! The Boston Red Sox World Series ball is gone, and Sox Closer Jonathan Papelbon has an excuse: his dog ate it. That’s what the Red Sox closer insists happened to the souvenir from the final out of Boston’s sweep this year. Really, Papelbon blamed it on his bulldog, Boss. It was a Santa Slam in Washington State! Santa Claus was knocked unconscious by a thrown object that hit his face while he was riding on the back of a truck decorated as a sleigh. Santa never knew what hit him, but whatever it was, it broke his nose and gave him a concussion and two black eyes. Santa said, "One second I was up there waving to people, and the next minute I wasn't.” In NEW YORK, Jennifer Cannon wore a dress made of toilet paper when she was married to Doy Nichols at a public restroom in Times Square. The intricately detailed dress was designed by Hanah Kim, winner of the 2007 Toilet Paper Wedding Dress Contest, sponsored by Cheap-Chic-Weddings.com. This one isn’t really ridiculous, it’s pretty amazing. In Michigan, Steve Flaig's long search for his birth mother ended at an incredible place: the checkout line at Lowe’s, where he works. Flaig had met Christine Tallady after she started working at Lowe's several months ago, but it was only recently that he found out she was the woman who had given him up for adoption. It took him a few weeks, and some help from the adoption agency, to give her the news. The new hinges that my wife bought for the vanity doors in our bathroom don’t quite fit right. |
| 12/12/2007 11:37:42 AM Marybeth and I are remodeling our bathroom! Have you heard? So far, it's taken 200 years. Not kidding. When we're finished, we will have remodeled 6 rooms in our house, only 3 more (four if you count the laundry room - I don't), and we will have done every room in the house, because we're insane. I think when we get done, we'll have an "Open Bathroom." It's like an open house, but it's only with the bathroom. Of course, that's assuming we actually finish it... |
| 12/1/2007 11:28:19 AM Here are your 5 Most Ridiculous Stories for the week of November 25th! Enjoy! A copyright infringement lawsuit brought against country star Toby Keith by singer/songwriter Michael McCloud has been dismissed. McCloud accused Toby Keith of basically ‘stealing’ a song. The judge dismissed the lawsuit by saying “I don’t know why anyone would want to take credit for writing any country song”. A new report from Michigan State University says more than 300 dogs and cats may have died earlier this year as a result of eating contaminated pet food. Most of them were cats and they all belonged to one “crazy cat lady” that lives in a one-bedroom apartment. Someone in Italy placed the winning bid of 3.8 million dollars on ebay for an unpopulated, one-house Texas town. No one lives permanently in the 13-acre town of Albert, about 60 miles north of San Antonio. The town includes a pavilion, an 85-year-old dance hall, a tractor shed, a three-bedroom house, plus peach and pecan orchards. But before town owner Bobby Cave signs the deed over, he must ensure the eBay bid is legitimate. In South Carolina, a bank teller a million reasons not to open an account for Alexander Smith. He was charged with disorderly conduct and two counts of forgery after he walked into the bank and tried to open an account…with a 1 million dollar bill. The Country of Scotland has a new slogan! The old slogan was “The Best Small Country in the World,” but after 6 months of intense research and 250 thousand dollars worth of work, the new slogan is “Welcome to Scotland”. No kidding. Pure genius... |
| 11/12/2007 10:48:34 AM WHAT UP! It's Monday, hopefully you had a great weekend. Check out this show recap as I eat a bowl of Chicken and Dumpling Soup! I got to drive the sweet 1995 Astro Van in the Veteran's Day Parade. I was right between the Cherokee Strip Corvette Club and Bikers Against Child Abuse. Yep, me, in the van, right in the middle. It was a van-wich.... Janelle picked up Lindsay's wedding dress this weekend! Jes slept this weekend... I went to the OU game Saturday evening. It was great (thanks Kenny and Michele)! Then Marybeth and I got lost after leaving the stadium, not great. Finally, we got back to our car and headed to Johnny's. They make great burgers, although I don't know if I'd recommend eating one at 10:30 at night. We talked about our Thanksgiving contest. Details are online at thehousefm.com. It's a chance for you to hook up someone that you're thankful for. Jes got invited to Thanksgiving dinner with a family in Enid...no listener's ever invited me to Thanksgiving dinner...oh well...I'm not bitter... I think that about wraps it up. Thanks for listening, thanks for reading. Questions, comments, complaints? brent@thehousefm.com |
| 11/8/2007 11:27:25 AM If you didn't catch today's show...holy moly...it was crazy. Janelle waged a war with her dishwasher last night...so far, the dishwasher is winning. Last night, it employed the devastating 'flood your floor' tactic. We'll keep you posted...the Omniplex in OKC is getting a new name, the Oklahoma Science Museum, exciting...we played Janelle-ie-okie again, that's always a good time! Two people called in and called us crazy, that number's down a bit... Then, it happened... Jes gargled with egg whites...and almost threw up...that was pretty stinkin' funny. That pretty much somes it up. Tune it tomorrow for more joy! Brent |
| 11/7/2007 10:33:48 AM Today's show recap! Jes got around 10 hours of sleep last night...LUCKY! Janelle is the most famous person on the morning show. She got recognized in Hobby Lobby in Stillwater, and by the guy working on her email problem at home. Any time people recognize me, they are not nearly as impressed! Clarinda from Perry wants to start a "Janelle Fan Club." The demand would be through the roof! Jamie from Ponca played "Foreign Food or Foreign Dude!" She won! Darcey, our engineer told us that I mispronounced a Norweigian dessert...I had no idea...it's a good thing he's here... Lots of people have thown away or lost expensive things! Among the items: $700 cameras, $640 in cash, bill money, Michael Jordan B-ball card (wearing the number 12?), a special necklace made from the wedding rings of someone's grandmother and mother (nice job Jerry in OKC!) and many other things. Good show today everyone. Get ready for another wild one tomorrow. Thoughts, comments, complaints, brent@thehousefm.com. |

| 9/28/2007 11:51:22 AM The Five Most Ridiculous for the week of September 24th! 5 In Fort Worth, TX, 44-year-old James Livingston is suing a medical technology company. He found out the bone implanted in his neck to relieve back pain was stolen from a corpse! Livingston is outraged! "How can you sell parts out of a body, just like parts from a stolen car?" 4 Matthew Pan is having some trouble getting his day in court. That’s because he’s a chimp. Animal rights activists campaigning to get Pan, a 26-year-old chimpanzee, legally declared a person vowed take their challenge to Austria's Supreme Court after a lower court threw out their latest appeal. Activists want to make sure that when his current animal shelter closes, Matthew will have a place to stay! 3 Three Mexican minors detained in California on suspicion of smuggling stole a U.S. Border Patrol car while still wearing handcuffs and drove it back across the border to Mexico. As the agent was doing his search, he left the vehicle running and the keys in the ignition, so one of the boys, still wearing handcuffs, grabbed the steering wheel and they headed back to Mexico. 2 In New Hampshire, two thieves scammed a store owner by claiming they could read his mind and reveal personal information about him before stealing money from his store, police said. Store owner Yogesh Patel said he had heard of the scam but never believed it and never thought it could happen to him. He said he's now upset and embarrassed. 1 LONDON (Reuters) - Australian John Allwood smashed 40 watermelons with his head in just one minute. Can you catch 77 grapes in your mouth in under a minute, keep nine yo-yo's spinning at the same time, hold your breath for more than 14 minutes or throw a washing machine? Then Guinness has a spot for you. Italian Michele Santana wins an entry for typing 57 books backwards. Indian yoga instructor G.P Vijayakumar snorted eight fish up through his mouth and out of his nostrils in a minute. American Jackie Bibby shared his bath with 75 live western diamondback rattlesnakes. Few could equal the bizarre feat of China's Dong Changsheng -- he pulled a 1.5 ton car using ropes hooked onto his lower eyelids. |

| 9/21/2007 10:36:09 AM IT'S BAAAACK! The Five Most Rediculous News Stories of the WEEK! NUMBER 5 In LIMA Peru, dozens of people living in a Peruvian reported vomiting and headaches after they went to look at a crater apparently left by a meteorite that crashed down. After hearing a loud noise, people went to see what had happened and found a crater 65 feet wide and 22 feet deep. NUMBER 4 If you got on Ebay this week, you could’ve had the chance to purchase the nation of Belgium! A disgruntled voter in that nation placed the ad, offering free delivery! But the ad also said that the country was coming secondhand and that potential buyers would have to take on over $300 billion in national debt. The ad read "For Sale: Belgium, a Kingdom in three parts ... free premium: the king and his court (costs not included)." NUMBER 3 In Wisconsin, 34 year old Richard Brown faces a number of charges, including possession, after a traffic stop in which he was stunned several times with a Taser. Brown was charged with possession with intent to deliver, obstructing an officer, and operating after revocation, and more! Oh, and also, officers found a live chicken in his car. Brown told the officers he got the chicken from a local fast food restaurant. NUMBER 2 Des Moines, Iowa, may soon be known as the World Capital of Food Fights! The other day, a man was arrested in Des Moines after he hit his wife in the back of the head with an onion! And earlier this month that a guy was charged with attacking his father……with a bag of Cheetos. NUMBER 1 In Venezuela, 33-year-old Carlos Camejo, who had been declared dead, woke up in the morgue in excruciating pain after medical examiners began their autopsy. Carlos was declared dead after a highway accident and was taken to the morgue, where examiners began an autopsy only to realize something was amiss when he started bleeding. “I woke up because the pain was unbearable," Camejo said. His grieving wife turned up at the morgue to identify her husband's body only to find him moved into a corridor -- and alive. I guess he was just mostly dead... |
| 9/14/2007 11:21:20 AM It's the 5 Most Ridiculous News Stories of the Week! Number 5 In MANNING, South Carolina A woman who went to court to pay a traffic ticket drove there in a stolen car and ended up behind bars. Sheriff's deputies received a tip that Amber Helton was going to be in a stolen car when she paid the ticket. They arrested her as she opened the door of the 2001 Dodge Intrepid. Number 4 The University of Oregon's duck mascot has been suspended for a game, after getting into a fight with the Houston Cougar. The Duck was quacking mad when the Cougar apparently mimicked his trademark move by doing push-ups after a touchdown. Oregon's athletic director said school representatives must be held to higher standards even if it's just the team's mascot duck. Number 3 Scientists now find that curly hair gets less tangled than straight hair. Biophysicist Jean-Baptiste Masson at the Ecole Polytechnique in France had hairdressers count tangles for a week. Masson found straight hair got tangled nearly twice as much as curly hair—the average number of tangles was 5.3 per head of straight hair and 2.9 per head of curly hair. Number 2 In MUNCIE, Indiana, Prosecutors are investigating whether a phony obituary was placed in a newspaper in an attempt to keep a convicted forger out of prison. The obituary reporting the supposed death and cremation of Shawnda K. Hatfield was faxed to Delaware Circuit Court Judge Robert Barnet Jr. But Hatfield was later found at her home in nearby Dunkirk and arrested. AND NUMBER 1! CLAREMONT, Calif. - Here's a dream-come-true for Web addicts: college credit for watching YouTube. Pitzer College this fall began offering what may be the first course about the video-sharing site. About 35 students meet in a classroom but work mostly online, where they view YouTube content and post their comments. |
| 9/8/2007 2:51:43 PM MOST RIDICULOUS NEWS STORIES OF THE WEEK Week of Sept 3! 5 In Mississippi, a man trying to call a news station to complain about not getting a FEMA trailer after Hurricane Katrina accidentally dialed 911 and was charged with making methamphetamine. He called 911 instead of 411. When he hung up on the emergency dispatcher, the Sheriff's Department was sent to the home to see if anyone was in need of assistance. Deputies said that when they arrived at Curtiss Coleman's house, no one answered the door. Officers broke in and allegedly found a meth lab. 4 Alexander Kuzmin, the 33-year-old mayor of Megion, a Siberian city, has banned bureaucrats from using a number of frustrating excuses. The list on the wall of his office includes 27 phrases. Some examples include: "I don't know" "I can't." "What can we do?" "It's not my job," "It's impossible," "I'm having lunch," "There is no money," "I was away/sick/on vacation." Violators "will be near the moment of their departure," the mayor's office says. 3 Consumers may be in danger from fumes from buttery flavoring in microwave popcorn, according to federal regulators. A pulmonary specialist has written to federal agencies to say doctors there believe they have the first case of a consumer who developed lung disease from the fumes of microwaving popcorn several times a day for years. 2 In ORLANDO, Florida, a squirrel has attacked at least three people at a day care playground. The victims included a child and a highway patrol trooper. Officials say none of the injuries seem to be life-threatening. 1 In Finland, cell phone users gathered to chuck their cell phones at the 8th annual Mobile Phone Throwing World Championships. Competitors came from around Europe, Canada and the United States. Tommi Huotari won the gold medal with a toss of 294 feet, just six feet shy of a football field and a few meters short of the world record. Thoughts? Comments? Send me a note, brent@thehousefm.com! |

| 8/31/2007 9:39:48 AM THE 5 MOST RIDICULOUS NEWS STORIES OF THE WEEK! 5 An elementary school in Colorado has banned tag on its playground after some children complained they were harassed or chased against their will. "It causes a lot of conflict on the playground," said Cindy Fesgen, assistant principal of the Discovery Canyon Campus school. 4 Rochelle Steffen’s eBay auction for 22 Michael Vick football cards, chewed up and slobbered on by her two dogs, ended this week as the winning bidder dished out money that’s expected to go to the Humane Society. The winning bid, $7,400. 3 Earlier this week, a 40-ton truck blasted through the side of a red-brick house in a village in northern Germany. The owner says he may have built his own tomb after this particular crash. This is the 10th time his house has been destroyed by a vehicle. 2 Timothy Brady was a "courtesy driver" for a rental-car company when he decided to test drive some sporty new wheels, the $186,000 Porsche 911. By the time the ride ended, he had a police escort and place in British automotive history. He was clocked at 172 mph, a record for four wheels. In classic British understatement, the court recorder said, “172mph is extremely fast.” 1 Real estate billionaire Leona Helmsley left $12 million in her will for her dog Trouble but cut out two of her four grandchildren entirely. Helsmley died August 20 at age 87. There there are! be happy you're not involved in any of this! |

| 8/17/2007 9:41:03 AM Here are your top 5 most ridiculous stories of the week, enjoy! 5. A Saudi passenger tried to smuggle a large number of reptiles, including cobra snakes chameleons, and infant crocodiles, out of Egypt in his luggage. The 22-year-old said he needed the reptiles for scientific research at his university in Saudi Arabia. –If my wife can't get on a plane with 5 ounces of toothpaste, how did this guy think he'd get on with a COBRA!!! 4. 17-year-old Jasmine Willis from Great Britain chugged 14 shots of espresso and ended up in the hospital. She said she needed something to perk her up while working the morning shift at her Dad's cafe. She said "I was drenched. I was burning up and hyperventilating, I was having heart palpitations and I think I was going into shock." –What? Was the café out of Jolt Cola! 3. 59 year old Margaret Wegner was 4 when she fell while carrying a pencil, which went through her cheek and into her brain. At the time, the technology did not exist to safely remove the pencil, so she had to live with it. After being plagued for 55 years with the torment and pain of a pencil lodged in her head, she finally had it removed. –She always had writing on here mind. 2. A Japanese biker failed to notice his leg had been severed below the knee when he hit a safety barrier, and rode on for more than a mile, leaving a friend to pick up the missing limb. –I've got no punch line here… 1. An Estonian man who was caught driving a car for a second time, even though he is blind has been at it again, and this time he faces jail. Police first arrested the man a week ago. There were three people in the car with him, giving him instructions. –Who has the more serious thrill issues, the blind guy who drives or the 3 brainiacs who climbed in the car with him?! Thanks, have a great weekend! -Brent |
| 8/15/2007 1:09:28 PM Here's a prank I pulled on Carder. He thought I was taking a digital picture, but I really took video. Good times. |
| 8/3/2007 9:55:32 AM The Five Most Ridiculous News Stories of the Week! 5 Florida police say they're searching for two ninjas who robbed a hotel and shot the clerk. The ninjas forced the clerk and a guest onto the ground behind the counter, demanding money and threatening them with a firearm." The clerk was treated at a local hospital. 4 Frank Van Buren ordered two new credit cards from Exxon. He received the cards. Three weeks later, he received a thousand more, each with his name and account number. Exxon apologized for the inconvenience, but then, just this week, the company sent Van Buren another box filled with 1,000 credit cards. "We don't know what happened," Exxon spokeswoman Paula Chen. 3 12-Headed Jellyfish have been created in the laboratory by carefully messing with a few genes. Researchers targeted so-called Cnox genes, which help control how the bodies of jellyfish. 2 Russian explorers dived deep below the North Pole in a submersible on Thursday and planted a national flag on the seabed to stake a symbolic claim to the energy riches of the Arctic. 1 In OLYMPIA, Washington an oral surgeon who temporarily implanted fake boar tusks in his assistant's mouth as a practical joke and got sued for it has gotten the state's high court to back up his gag. Dr. Robert Woo of Auburn had put in the phony tusks while the woman was under anesthesia for a different procedure. He took them out before she awoke, but he first shot photos that eventually made it around the office. The employee, Tina Alberts, felt so humiliated when she saw the pictures that she quit and sued her boss. Woo's insurance company, Fireman's Fund, refused to cover the claim, saying the practical joke was intentional and not a normal business activity his insurance policy covered, so Woo settled out of court. He agreed to pay Alberts $250,000, then he sued his insurers. For $250,000, I'd wear a set of boar tusks for life...no kidding. |
| 8/3/2007 9:45:22 AM 7 Common Do It Yourself Mistakes. 1. Overstating your skills! 2. Underestimating the value of your time. 3. Equating dollars spent with value. 4. Neglecting the details. (I do that all the time). 5. Overlooking Permits. 6. Missing Guarantees. 7. Thinking "Do It yourelf" means do it ALL yourself. (When's the last time YOU'VE driven a tractor!) |
| 7/23/2007 10:37:32 AM Check out this hilarious prank from Needtobreathe. If you're ever in a van with them, don't fall asleep really.... |
| 7/9/2007 11:14:49 AM This weekend was pretty wild. I was at Grand Lake in Grove, OK. The flooding there in the Northeastern portion of OK, has been crazy. My brother works at Turnpike Chrystler in Miami, OK. Their showroom had water standing in it about waist deep. He says the water has cleared out, but there's mud everywhere. Over 600 homes had to be evacuated due the flooding. I know that there are people in parts of Texas and Kansas dealing with this too. Please be in prayer for the people there who are dealing with the cleanup efforts. |
| 6/27/2007 12:40:16 PM A couple of nights ago, I swallowed a bug. I think it was a gnat or something gnasty like that. It's the second time I can ever remember eating a bug. This is the first time I've ever eaten one by accident. The last time I ate an insect was a couple of years ago when I gobbled down some BBQ grasshoppers. The crunchy part's the thorax, in case you're wondering. Anyway, back to our story; Marybeth and I were walking through the neighborhood and stopped to chat with a neighbor. He said something funny, I laughed, and on the inbreathing of air (I think that's a word), I sucked the gnasty gnat into my throat. I felt like a cat coughing up a hair ball. Finally, the gnat flew out and onto the concrete, dead from drowning in my saliva and stomach juices. That was certainly a surpise for me, but can you imagine how the gnat felt? |
| 6/26/2007 2:22:24 PM The new iPhone is coming out Friday! $599! What a bargain! If you pay that much for a phone, you should be hit in the face with an old gym sock full of hot caramel... What else...in Florida a dude was trying to get his golfball out of the water when...AN ALLIGATOR NEARLY RIPPED HIS ARM OFF! I hope it was worth it... Janelle gave everyone some advice today. Her advice was on what to do if you encounter a mountain lion. Here it is: don't panic or run away, make yourself appear larger by raising your arms, don't look the mountain lion in the eye, speak in a low, authoritative voice, and slowly back away...personally, I think if you see a mountain lion, it's probably too late. I hope slowly backing away works well for you while the mountain lion eats your face. Finally, a question; what is the most interesting thing that your parents did to teach you a lesson growing up? We're talking about it on the show tomorrow morning! Thanks for reading, -El Brento |
| 6/6/2007 10:51:45 AM Hey guys, sorry it's been so long since I've blogged. I'll have some more thoughts for you later on, but I wanted to get the video from Chris Rice's visit to the studio today. Check out Chris playing 5 questions! Woot! |
| 5/16/2007 6:21:52 AM I love birds. I like to watch them in the evenings, flying around, eating birdseed, playing in my yard, it relaxes me. It reminds me that God takes care of all His creatures. It helps me to know that there is still order in the world...I hate birds. They treat the Earth (including my vehicles) as if it's their own personal toilet. It's not, by the way. I drove Marybeth's car to work yesterday. It's much nicer than mine. We just got some hail damage repaired on it, and so, with new paint, we can't take it to the car wash to clean it. Whenever it gets dirty, you must hand-wash it. Needless to say, after the birds at the radio station were finished using it as a public restroom yesterday, it needed washed, which really isn't that big a deal, except for the fact that I had to wash it at home, using the World's Most Easily Kinked Hose (that's its real name.) Frustration began to reign supreme as I attempted to maneuver the Junkiest Hose in the World (that's its other name) around Marybeth's behemoth (kids, look that word up) of a vehicle. Anyway, I finally finished, and it looks great (Marybeth's car, not the hose.)I hate birds.-Brent |

| 4/16/2007 1:37:00 PM Here are some things I've been thinking about...read on if you care... I read part of an interview today with David Gest, Liza Minelli's ex-husband. The man has had some strange plastic surgery. It's almost Kenny Rogers-esque. In the interview, he says he wishes he had done things differently. He was following the advice of, get ready for this, Michael Jackson. This makes me wonder, has he ever seen Michael Jackson? That's like getting advice on controlling your rage from Russell Crowe. It's like trying to find out how to lose fights from Chuck Norris. It's like getting advice on how to be awesome from any country singer...it's not going to happen. In the latest edition of "O" magazine (I read it all the time), experts believe that blogging can help you lose weight. I guess I can see how this would work. You're less likely to cram an entire turkey down your pie hole if you have to actually type it out and tell people about it. Akon...I just don't get it... Sanjaya. I hope he wins, his mustache is awesome. Bald eagles are on the rise. Watch out. Hopefully they'll not peck out my eyes. Cats are still evil, they sit beneath my tree and try to eat the birds that I feed. When I walk outside, they just look at me. That's what they do. That's it for now, I guess. I'm heading to the YMCA to work out and lift every weight in the building...I'm not kidding. B |
| 3/26/2007 6:15:41 AM I never thought this could happen to me...I woke up this morning as...a morning person. Maybe. I'm not 100% sure, because this has never happened before. It usually takes me a good hour to hour and a half before I'm even fully functional. It happened this morning more quickly than ever before. CRAZY. I guess maybe it was bound to happen, getting up at 4:15 every morning was bound to have an effect at some point, maybe today's the day. I don't know. I guess I'll know around 2 pm when I'm totally zombied-out in front of my television watching Judge Judy... |
| 3/23/2007 9:31:50 AM Are you burned out at your job? The folks at www.careerbuilder.com have these words of wisdom for you. Here are the signs that you ARE burned out at work. Sign No. 1: Your co-workers are walking on eggshells around you. If you find yourself becoming cranky and irritable with co-workers you used to get along with, it may be more than just typical interpersonal dynamics. Sign No. 2: You come in late and want to leave earlier. You used to wake up in the morning excited for another day, but now every day you dread heading into the office. Once lunch passes you start watching the clock, counting the minutes to the end of the day. Sign No. 3: Apathy has replaced enthusiasm. You feel no motivation, no sense of accomplishment and have no desire to be challenged. Those who have burnout lose their motivation to perform, as well as their feelings of pride for a job well done. Sign No. 4: You've lost camaraderie with co-workers. You're no longer interested in the company network. You used to go to lunch, go out for drinks and participate in other company functions but now have no desire in socializing in or out of the office. Sign No. 5: You're feeling physically sick. You always feel exhausted, have headaches, feel tension in all of your muscles and are having trouble sleeping. These physical signs are common indicators of job stress, and demonstrate that this can turn into a physical problem. If you are experiencing these symptoms, it's time to make some changes. You can start by talking to your boss or someone in your human resources department about how you can confront the problem together by redefining deadlines, delegating or outsourcing a project or two. In her book "Stress Management for Busy People," Carol A. Turkington recommends taking these proactive steps: Learn to say no. Reevaluate your goals. Reduce your commitments at work and at home. Learn stress management skills. Get plenty of rest and eat a healthy diet. Finally, give yourself a break. This means taking your vacation days, no matter how important you job is, and taking little breaks every day to re-group, re-energize and unwind. Remember, if you don't take care of yourself in the office, you work will suffer and your health may pay the price, too. |
| 3/19/2007 1:41:23 PM Spring is in the air, which means I need to get an allergy shot. My nose has been running like a faucet. I hate it. I've sneezed so much the past few days, I feel like I'd be better off without a head. Yup, just a headless body walking around scaring people. "Agh! What's that?!" "Oh, that's the headless body of Brent McCoy. One day he sneezed and his head flew off, never to be seen or heard from again, weird." I could almost handle that, but I don't know how I'd eat...or see...hear...I don't know, but it seems like a better alternative than having allergies. |
| 3/13/2007 12:02:43 PM I hate volleyball...but I still do it, because it's sports and it's available. Despite the fact that my volleyball skills are like those of a baby, I press on. My team lost again last night, thanks, in part, to my horrible play. Yesterday was a weird day overall. It had its ups and downs. Down=I missed our 6:00 volleyball game. Up=I ran 3 miles in 22 minutes, that's the fastest I've ever run that distance. Down=I had to sit in my own filth and sweat for an hour waiting on our next volleyball game (it started at 8 pm). Up=I took a nap yesterday. Down=that nap lasted 3 hours. Up=I blocked Jeremy Louis and some other really good guy at volleyball last night. Down=our team still lost 3 games. Up=I had a delicious spicy chicken sandwich at Chili's last night. Down=I continued to taste it through gross, spicy burps as I ran my super-fast 3 miles. Life is full of ups and downs, live in the middle people, live in the middle... |

| 2/26/2007 11:46:00 AM Today we set some new mouse traps around the office. There is a small mouse running around and so far, Little Man has been able to elude traditional traps. Today, we put out some sticky traps. Hopefully this will catch the litlle fella. I hope he doesn't come back into our office. Since I've moved offices (see "Moving Day" video in my video section), it's been an adventure. Friday, the tiny mouse ran through the office and Janelle screamed SO LOUD, my ears started bleeding. It was like I was living in a horror movie. Only with a horrow movie, you can mute or turn down the volume. I miss my ears. I enjoyed hearing things. MCCOY OUT! |
| 2/20/2007 1:00:05 PM Terrible. That's how I'd describe my volleyball playing last night. Utterly disgusting. I couldn't hit the stupid ball in bounds to save my life. It was as if I'd lost complete control of all my motor skills. My team would have been better off if a baby would've taken my place. Not just a baby, but a newborn who wouldn't be capable of intelligent thought. A 6 pound 8 ounce new human who's not even able to focus or hold its head up yet. I take that back, an unborn child floating in embryonic fluid still confined to its mother's womb would have been better. That's correct, a fetus could have had more game than me last night on the volleyball court. I feel better now that I have shared this burden... |

| 2/13/2007 1:31:40 PM Today, we talked about bad Valentine's Day stories. Here are some of those stories... My wife and I got engaged on Valentine's Day, 1978. I made a reservation at an expensive restaurant, I arranged a photographer for after our engagement dinner to capture the event for us, we got all dressed up, and went out for what should have been a special evening in our lives. The problem was that the restaurant set us across an aisle from a 'couple' that were having an argument. As we were trying to have a romantic dinner (and I was preparing to propose to the woman I loved), we listened to a woman complain to a man about how he had given another woman more attention and a better present at Christmas! Their conversation continued to rise in volume and escalate in tension throughout most of the evening, not to the point that they would ever be thrown out of the restaurant, but enough that it overtook our space and left us in silence enough of the evening, causing my purpose for being at the restaurant to lose a bit of its spark! Thankfully, they left the restaurant before we were finished our brandied pear dessert, and after a bit of discussion about their overtaking our evening, I was able to refocus on the romance between my wife and I and we ended up getting engaged in spite of our unwelcome dinner conversation from across the way. It was definitely NOT the evening I had planned but all worked out and I received God's greatest blessing in my life, in the person of Angie, and our love has grown and borne fruit in both of our lives throughout the 29 years since then! (And we love one another and have more fun together nowthan we ever have!) Alvin Regina, Saskatchewan, CANADA Here is another one: While returning home from my first tour of duty in a hostile zone. I watched as my fellow soldiers that fought next to me for the past few weeks hugging and kissing their wives or significant others. I looked for my girlfriend Becky. I went to my house with a couple of dozen roses and lots of time to make up for my long deployment. When I entered my house I found her with her new boyfriend in my house. After kicking her out and changing the locks. I put the house up for sale and went back overseas. Charles U.S. Army Retired Wow...those are truly awful...hopefully you'll have a happier Valentine's Day than that...wow... |

| 2/2/2007 2:22:27 PM Here's what a planning meeting looks like when Janelle and I try to plan what's funny. goodtimes |
| 1/30/2007 7:39:03 AM Here's the formula for burning calories! 220-your age=maximum heart beats per minute. 55-90% of that number is the zone you should be working in for 20-30 minutes. This will optimize your cardio workout! Do it! Here is a site to figure percentages. I'm always trying to help! http://www.1728.com/percent.htm |
| 1/29/2007 10:57:11 AM The Total Finess Challenge is a more difficult than you think! Seriously |
| 1/26/2007 12:41:59 PM Total fitness challenge info! I got a call this morning from one of our listeners about what yoga workouts you can do if you're stuck at your desk all day! www.yogasite.com www.mydailyyoga.com. I hope those help! See you later! Brent |
| 1/26/2007 12:37:33 PM Here is the video for the new Jars of Clay song "Work". This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Ever |
| 1/25/2007 9:31:01 AM My State of the Union! USA |
| 1/25/2007 9:29:56 AM I really love free stuff! awesome |
| 1/25/2007 9:28:54 AM Some numbers for you! 66,896-That's how many times the video "Cheering People On!!!" from Carder and me has been watched on Myspace. People will truly watch anything... 64-The number of minutes it took Carder and me to actually shoot the video. That includes drive time, and yes, Carder really does drive like a maniac, I'd rather ride with Stevie Wonder. 500,043-The number of people who decided to eat at Red Lobster in Stillwater last friday night...so we went to Hideaway. I recommend the "Big Country". 6-The number of types of meat on a "Big Country". 196-That's the number of pounds I weighed last Friday, the beginning of the Total Fitness Challenge, but I did have on my 'heavy' shoes... 3-The number of times Jonathan beat me in racquetball Saturday...I really need to learn how to play racquetball. 2-The number of showers I took Saturday. No, I don't know why I shared that. 17-The number of times I've replayed the clip of Simon from American Idol telling some poor dude his singing was "...almost non human"...that's comedy. 59-The number of minutes of my life I wasted this week by watching "One Tree Hill"...thanks Marybeth! 1-The number of times, including Saturday, I have made biscuits from SCRATCH! It's annoying, no wonder no one does it anymore... 63-The number of people who will read this and instantly wish that had the last 3 and 1/2 minutes of their lives back. ....McCoy.... |

| 1/9/2007 9:06:26 AM What do you think? |
| 1/9/2007 9:04:50 AM Here's the video of Tigger smacking that kid at Disneyworld: |
| 1/8/2007 12:30:33 PM Did you see the video of Janelle destroying the TV with a sledgehammer? If not, check it out. Hilarious. It's almost like we have switched roles on our Morning show. Believe it or not, there was a time when SHE was considered the normal one! That's good though, right? We're expanding our roles. I can be normal when I need to be, and Janelle can be crazy when she needs to be...it just seems like lately, she's been crazy a lot...but honestly, who among us doesn't enjoy the sound and feeling of terminating an old TV with extreme prejudice? Try it! It doesn't have to be a TV. Just go smash something! Break something today! Let that be your goal! Then let me know about it! By the way...there will be a new video coming soon...it's a collaboration between Carder and me...that's all I'll say for now. |
| 1/4/2007 1:19:55 PM WAL MART! COME ON! HIRE SOME MORE PEOPLE! I had to go to Wal Mart (Wal Marts, to some of you) yesterday. It looked like the end of the world was approaching, and everyone knew it. There were 41.3 billion people at Wal Mart, and they didn't even have what I needed (12 packages of Mentos, don't ask...)! There were people backed up to the back of the store, just standing in line to go through one of the two open checkout counters. Since they were out of Mentos, I didn't have to stand in line...unlike last week...check this out; It was 10:30 at night, and I had 2 items. In my right hand, I clutched a half-gallon of milk, in my left, a lone, single can of biscuits. (I don't exactly remember the items, but for the sake of this story, stay with me anyway.) I stood in line for 2 lifetimes while waiting on the woman in front of me self-check the $327.45 worth of merchandise she had in her 12 baskets in the "10 Items or Less" line. It really tested my patience...it tested everything I am. The wait was so long. I had just gotten a haircut a few hours ago, and by the time it was my turn, I needed another one! People who were in their mid-30s were dying of old-age while in line. Newborn babies were beginning to walk while in line. Freshly shaven men were leaving the store after growing a full-blown beautiful beard while they waited in line. I saw some guys that I knew while in line. I haven't seen them since...I hope they're not still there... |
| 1/2/2007 2:08:41 PM 2007 is here...pretty amazing. The question always comes up this time of year. "Hey, what are your resolutions?" While I originally thought about not having any, I decided I'd go with a couple. I resolve to read more this year. I want to be able to walk into a bookstore and possibly purchase a book, instead of just delicious coffee...I really should be for anything that makes me seem less dumb. I also resolve to take myself more seriously...you heard right, more seriously. Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to turn into Andy Rooney (where would I get those eyebrows anyway?), but there are certain areas of my life that need me to be more serious. Right? There has to be, right? |
| 12/26/2006 10:35:07 AM Day after Christmas...interesting. I still feel full from the lunch my Mom cooked yesterday...I ate so much, that I physically ached...I know that's bad, but I didn't care. It was bittersweet yesterday. I got to spend time with my family, but my cousin was in the hospital. I think she'll be okay...pray for her. I must be a person that's easilly read. My wife and my Mom both got me new running shoes and a wallet. I wish I had so much cash flow that I needed two wallets... My cousin JW had a load of fun on Christmas Eve. He was the victim of the dirtiest of Santas during the Dirty Santa game. He lost golf balls, a cool tool set, and gourmet barbecue sauces...I think he went home with a purse... My brother, Jeff, beat me 4 games to 3 in a massive ping-pong series...I thought I would win it all because ping pong paddles are shaped nothing like Playstation 2 controllers... My brother and I teamed up later to take on my Dad and my Uncle Pat...we won the series 2 games to 1. This proves that 2 guys in their 20s can barely beat 2 guys in their 50s...actually I think my Uncle Pat may be in his 60s... Hopefully you had a wonderful Christmas. Remember, Jesus Christ is the reason we celebrate...all year long. Have any memories you'd like to share? Feel free to drop me a note, brent@thehousefm.com. |

| 12/11/2006 6:47:25 AM The Answer: GAP, Target, and those jewelry commercials with the piano music at the beginning. The Question: Name 3 things on TV that are about to drive me up a wall! Seriously bro! I will buy no one a Target giftcard this year. I will not shop at GAP. I will not buy jewelry from this particular jewelry store this year. It's mainly because their commercials make me want to lobotomize myself. Yes, actually open up my head and physically split my brain into two halfs! I think I saw that GAP commercial where Common is rapping about Peace, Love, and GAP 3 times in the same commercial break. Each time I saw it, I was pushed closer and closer to the edge...seriously, nothing screams 'real hip hop' like new clothes from GAP...someone...please...make it stop... |
| 12/7/2006 6:26:06 AM Do you ever have that one thing that annoys you to no end, but you do nothing about it? For me, it's the broken spatula in our kitchen. I don't know why I loathe it so much. I don't know why I'm thinking about it now. We have a newer, bigger, better spatula that we use when it's clean, but sometimes, due to cooked-on egg or sausage grease, we have to use the old, broken-off-handle, smaller-than-what's-useful spatula. It annoyed me just two short days ago as I washed it...and I'm still thinking about it. I hate it. I have to get a new spatula... |
| 11/20/2006 11:29:54 AM I'm in the running for World's Worst Blogger...Sorry...it's been too long. My thoughts for today are Winter-esque....Fall-esque if you count Thanksgiving as fall...which it is...so...nevermind. First of all, has anyone ever eaten Turducken? It's a chicken cooked in a duck cooked in a turkey. John Madden mentioned this about 3 years ago during an NFL broadcast and ever since then, I've been mesmorized by the thought. I've spoken to several people who would like to try Turducken, but none of these fine folks have ever tried it. I want to...and someday I will... On to the next subject, beards! We'll be talking about beards on tomorrow's show. Feel free to share your thoughts on beards by calling in tomorrow morning at 1 800 324 8488 or by sending a note to brent@thehousefm.com. Do you like them, love them, or hate them? Personally, I think unkept beards are awesome! |
| 10/25/2006 9:56:10 AM How many times have you been a dinner guest, and the host serves some food that is...uh...not what you'd cook? It's happened to me a couple of times. Here's what a few of you had to say about this wonderfully awkward experience: Here's an idea. Several years ago we were invited to someone's house that we hadn't met. The hostess, on the phone, asked me if we had any allergies. I told her I was allergic to cats and she promised not to serve cat. I hadn't realized she meant FOOD allergies. It was good for a chuckle, but it could be useful if you find something distasteful on your plate (although dishonest) and you say you're allergic to pea casserole.--(Tom) Last night I told my husband what your topic is for today. He immediately thought of the same story I did. We were visiting his Aunt in Colorado and she had brunch ready for us when we got there. Now he will NOT eat eggs. He doesn't even tolerate the smell of them. His Aunt had a quiche ready for us. Poor Brian. He really had to choke it down. I thought it was good!! It did come out in the conversation that he doesn't like eggs, and his uncle told him. "Only read men eat quiche". This was in 1999 and it made such an impact on him that we both still remember this story. I think it did some emotional damage for him to choke it down. But he'll be ok......I hope.....--(Sandy) When I was younger (8 – 16 years old), if I ate dinner over my best friends house, I learned quickly that I was expected to eat whatever was placed in my plate. I usually had no trouble with this – my friend’s mother was a wonderful cook. I did have a problem with the brussel sprouts though. I was told, “Do whatever you need to, but you WILL eat at least 3”. Ketchup is great “soup base” for brussel sprouts. I still dislike brussel sprouts IMMENSELY!--(Sheryl) Thanks guys. If you have any thoughts, drop me a line. Brent@thehousefm.com! |
| 10/23/2006 1:21:11 PM How many times have people messed up your fast food order? It happened again this weekend. How hard is it to get me 'an Ocean Water and a Strawberry Slush'? I don't think it's that difficult. I guess Ocean Water at Sonic is new. It's only been around since about 1995, my senior year of high school... |

| 10/9/2006 11:49:23 AM There are a lot of things that you can be addicted to. My man Mario in Utah recently sent me this list to find out if you're addicted to the House! 1. You think people like the Town Criar, Sean Connery, and Cpt Jack are regular contributors to the show. 2. Possums now freak you out. 3. You watch TV, see a story about Woody Allen and mistakenly say out loud. "What's Tony Weir doing on the national news?" 4. You hear the weather, look outside, and think, "High of 92?...it's raining outside.." then realize, you don't live in Oklahoma. 5. You actually miss hearing Carder the intern on the McCoy in the morning show. 6. You have this conversation with your family..."Hey guys, how about for vacation this year, we go down to Ponca City and tour the studio?" "Um, honey, where's Ponca City?" "Why, it's were Brent and Janelle are." 7. You begin to imagine cruel and unusual ways to destroy peeps. 8. You think Brent and Janelle's blogs should be considered breaking news. 9. You practice animal noises just in case you ever call in to play Cranium. 10. and finally...you know you are addicted to the house fm when you spontaneously begin to do the robot...saying..."Batteries depleted...batteries depleted...OPRAH WINFREY...OPRAH WINFREY!" Nice work, Mario. |
| 10/4/2006 3:13:42 PM 198 lbs. That's my official weight as of about an hour and a half ago. That's pretty good, I think. If I'm below 200, that's good. I don't stress out about my weight, but I like to be in shape. If I'm not in shape, it makes my wife look bad, since she's the fitness director and personal trainer at the YMCA. "Hey aren't you the fitness chick at the Y?" "Yes, why do you ask?" "Why does your husband look like a huge bucket of lard?"...that's a conversation I never want her to have to have. I'll take 198, thank you very much. |
| 10/3/2006 8:26:52 AM VOTING PSAs! Important elections are coming up in November. Your deadline to get registered to vote is 10 days away. If you don't vote, it's like hitting George Washington in the face and knocking his wooden chiclets all over the sidewalk. So vote, don't leave our 1st president toothless and crying in the street. Patrick Henry once said, "Give me liberty, or give me death". If you don't vote, it's like casting your vote for Death. That's right, without voting, you will actually be casting a vote for the Grim Reaper. He has horrible foreign policy, and ridiculous, unrealistic domestic policies, and he suffers from severe halitosis. So vote! There are some misconceptions about voting. "Once I step into the voting booth, I'll be eaten by a monster." Totally not true. "The voting booth has been known to transport those who have the misfortune of setting foot inside them to an unknown land". Completely bogus. "My vote doesn't count anyway". That's a dirty lie. Of course your vote counts, anyone who tells you otherwise is a dirty filthy liar. Get your vote on! |
| 10/2/2006 2:04:27 PM Who do we relate to? Here are some ideas. If you've ever been bitten in the face by a mosquito, and your face swelled up so that you looked like the elephant man, I can relate. If you've ever wished that the Lawn-Mowing Fairy came and mowed your lawn for you, Janelle can relate, if you've ever wished that your lawn died so you wouldn't have to mow it anymore, I can relate. If you've ever bought some Asian-inspired junk at a garage sale, Janelle can relate. If you've tried to sell a couple of boxes of old clothes and shoes...I can relate. I think we can relate you everyone...including you. |
| 9/28/2006 8:40:06 AM I've been a big slacker...but I think this one will make you wish you couldn't even read... Sanju Bhagat was admitted to a hospital in Nagpur, India, in August, where doctors expected to find a very large abdominal cyst, but instead, said surgeon Ajay Mehta, "To my surprise and horror, I could shake hands with somebody inside." Bhagat was a victim of fetus in fetu, in which his birth twin had migrated to the inside of his body and continued to leech off of him. Mehta extracted feet, hands, hair and jaw. [ABC News, 8-23-06] ...he's half the man he used to be... |
| 9/13/2006 1:04:39 PM Since my man Joe called me a slacker (my words, not his) I guess I should update the blog. If you've missed the morning show the past couple of days, the HOT topic has been...POSSUMS! That's right, nasty creatures that torment Janelle have become the hottest radio topic of the week! If you have any possum stories, send them to me, brent@thehousefm.com. It's craaaaaaaazy! |
| 9/6/2006 12:08:09 PM Good Wednesday! Although it feels a bit like a Tuesday...seeing as how yesterday felt like a Monday...and Monday felt like...uh...I don't know...days off are sometimes hard to deal with. On the one hand, you get to enjoy your time off, on the other, it's difficult to come back to work. Don't get me wrong, I love my job, but it's difficult to get back into the swing of things, especially when you DON'T have to get up at 4:30 am. I did enjoy my time on Grand Lake. It made me want to live on Grand Lake, not a lake house, but an actual island on the lake...really any lake. As long as it had an unlimited supply of food and coffee, I'd be set! Somehow, I don't see that happening...thoughts? brent@thehousefm.com. |
| 8/31/2006 7:01:12 AM CHECK IT OUT. If you want to vote on the Oklahoma state quarter, go to: http://poncacity.com/coins.htm. Pick one with the Pioneer Woman on it! Do it now! |
| 8/23/2006 11:26:04 AM I watched a crazy show on Dateline last night...people were having their pets freeze dried after they died. Yuck...seriously bro, when your dog dies...bury it. Don't stuff it and put it in the living room...it's called the "LIVING" room for a reason... |
| 8/21/2006 11:07:00 AM I'm glad it's raining today. Yesterday was nearly unbearable. It was so hot at Shoutfest in OKC. My eyeballs melted and began running down my face. It was weird. I wish I had a cool pair of ice pants. It was cool to see so many cool bands. Hyperstatic Union was pretty cool. They were funky. Although, their hit song "Praying for Sunny Days" may have been better if it were titled "Praying for Cooler Days," at least for yesterday. Oh well. I'm working on getting some pictures posted on the site, so check back soon. Thanks for reading. |
| 8/16/2006 11:42:05 AM Today was an exciting day. Lots to talk about. Back to School, Shoutfest, I got to serve some teachers yesterday at a luncheon at my church. There's a Dell Laptop Battery recall (see previous blog), Brown Shirt weekend, Good Monsters...tons of stuff! Here's something good though, Janelle actually likes my new shoes! Jenny didn't like them, Marybeth's not crazy about them, but Janelle thinks they're pretty cool. Great. Maybe I'll post a picture of them on the site. We'll see. Tune in tomorrow, Jason Roy of Building 429 will be on the show talking about Shoutfest! We'll also see what teachers want parents to know about school and their kids. Tune in! Peace |
| 8/16/2006 9:26:00 AM There is a recall on Dell battery recall for laptops, if you've recently purchased a laptop, check this site https://dellbatteryprogram.com/Default.aspx to see if your laptop is affected. I'll post more stuff later, but this is to help you out now. |
| 8/9/2006 11:16:32 AM Yesterday I missed Janelle's birthday. We've been working together on the morning show since 1963, and I forgot her birthday. Some folks say I'm incredibly inconsiderate, I say I just don't realize what's going on around me. I hope I don't forget any other important dates....sheesh... |
| 8/7/2006 10:35:38 AM Today's show was pretty good for a Monday. We talked about Shaun's wedding on Saturday. Exciting! After the wedding, we all went bowling...in our wedding clothes. I guess this isn't as strange as I thought. Sandy in MN, said that she and a bunch of folks from her friend's wedding went bowling too. Wild times. We got a call from Dale in Ponca City, who ran into more House listeners...on vacation in Colorado. The fellow listeners were from California. You just can't escape the House, even if you want to... |
| 8/4/2006 12:24:26 PM Shaun Michaels is getting married. Here's the advice that you had for him: Hi Shaun, Well, it's almost time for that gigantic step in your life. I'm sure you've had all kinds of jokes and abuse heaped upon you concerning marriage. I won't do that. I wish for you two things: 1) That God bless your marriage always and 2) That all your children look like your wife :-) CONGRATULATIONS!! --Joe in Florida I didn't know why happiness was until I got married.... ....then it was too late. (just kidding - 23 years of happiness) --name withheld 1. Always remember that women are like computers, the smallest error is stored in long term memory for later retrieval. 2. You may have found "Miss Right" but what you may not know is that her first name is "Always". 3. Game Over. Just kidding!! Seriously, though, hold your wife's hand while praying whenever possible. Entering God's presence hand-in-hand is an amazingly powerful thing. --Drew in Dallas, TX I’ve been married for 13 years now (we are both 33). We have had MANY MANY MANY trials and carried A LOT of baggage into our marriage. Through it all we learned to always communicate the GOOD, BAD AND DOWN RIGHT UGLY (in a respectful way). God has drawn us together and to Him because we both have him as our foundation. COMMUNICATION is the key…constant communication with God and each other. God Bless! --Jennifer in Tampa, FL Two things Shaun needs to learn: You're right and I'm sorry --Michael in Ponca City Best marriage advice. Make sure you keep your wife as your best friend, and remember that marriage isn’t a 50/50 relationship. Marriage is a 100/100 relationship. Both people must put forth 100% effort to keep a marriage health and happy. And of course, the old proverb always comes in handy: If mamma is happy everyone is happy. --Jonathan I have been married for 10+ years, the best advice I can give you is to remember that your wife is still your "girlfriend"! Remember how you treated her while you were dating?? We as women still like to be treated as our husbands "girlfriend". Ask God to show you how to love her like He does! Congratulations, God bless you!! --Deena in Fairview, OK Congratulations Shaun! First of all, you're marrying a Minnesota girl, and that's a good choice! Second, always stay on the good side of your Mother in Law. If she's happy, Deanna's happy. And just enjoy your day tomorrow. Have fun with it. Congratulations and Good Luck. --Sandy in MN If I had to give advice to the soon-to-be groom, it would be the same advice the bible gives; Love your wife as yourself, more over, love your wife the way Jesus loves you, everyday. May God bless your union and remember that a hug, a kiss and an I'm sorry can go a very long way. Congrats! --Elsa My late grandpa and grandma were HAPPILY married for 62 years. One of their rules were: Never go to bed angry with your spouse. And this is biblical too, as Christ said: Do not let the sun go down on your anger. Enjoy the wedding Thanks for a great show. I listen to you guys everyday from Johannesburg, South Africa --Pierre in Johannesburg, South Africa God First Family Second Job Third When she has a problem, listen don’t try to solve it. Remember the phrases: “Yes Dear”, “that color looks great on you” “why sure your mother can visit for the summer, it will be fun” and the only response to the question “Does this make me look fat?” is “well you would have to be fat first” Always keep your mouth shut when clothes shopping or shoe shopping with your spouse. And finally, never comment on her driving. --David in Elkhart, IN |
| 8/2/2006 7:23:13 AM It's weird today. Janelle's out sick. I'm in the studio and on the show by myself. It's been a while since that happened. It's just different. I talk to you every day, but I can't see your face. I don't know if you're laughing at what's happening, or if you're shaking your head in shame just waiting for the next great song to start. Who knows? |
| 7/27/2006 9:20:20 AM Yo. Jeremy here...filling in for Brent this week. This morning we all discovered that I have a problem that one person described as "wallet-to-full-itis". My wife says it is more like a filling cabinet. Items: calendar from...2002, a ticket stub to a Cubs game from LAST year, old receipts that are so worn that they are almost just wrinkled white paper, expired insurance cards, and a whole $8. Yep. Drop me a line at Jeremy@thehousefm.com if you can relate. Peace out. Catch ya next week back on The All Request House Party at 8pm! |
| 7/10/2006 10:06:47 AM Things I don't like/things that annoy me: cats, cottage cheese, putting pillow cases on pillows, slow drivers, fast drivers, green beans that aren't fully cooked (squeaky), beans (cooked or otherwise), getting lost, Lost (the TV show), America's Got Talent (as a whole, it doesn't), people who think they're funny (ironic, I know), red tape, politics, things full of sound and fury that signify nothing (politics?), message boards, mice, forwarded email, putting too much emphasis on the physical rather than the spiritual, my car (sometimes, like now)...I'm sure there are others...feel free to share yours: brent@thehousefm.com. |
| 7/6/2006 1:30:02 PM Competitive eating boggles my mind. I have no idea how a 150 lb Japanese man can eat 53 and 3/4 hot dogs in 12 minutes. That's a lot of ground up pig and cow parts! I would like to enter a contest for eating Sesame chicken. I know it's hot, but I'd like to eat it until it burned a hole in my stomach...all the way through. I'd like to eat it until my eyes burst into flames. I'd like to eat Sesame chicken until my head exploded. I'm pretty sure I'd be on the news... |
| 7/5/2006 7:30:18 AM Hey everyone! Here's part of what I did this past week: http://www.sportsstuff.com/towables/wego/winmovie.shtml.Cut and paste that into your browser. Keep in mind that those people are trained professionals. I looked a little like that, but then I fell off on my head. You'd be amazed at how much water feels like concrete when you're going 35 mph! |
| 6/27/2006 9:03:25 AM Since the end of the Oklahoma City Marathon, I have gained 8 pounds. I'm pretty sure that it's not all muscle... I was running about 10-15 miles a week while training for the marathon. I was running about 4 nights a week. Now I am running...well...since the end of April, I've run 3 times...counting last night. That may be my problem. I've got to do more cardio work... ...and I've got to stop eating entire rotisserie chickens... |
| 6/21/2006 11:50:05 AM Today's the first day of Summer! How exciting! On today's show, we discussed the all new Top 5 @ 5. If you've not checked it out yet, you should! It's cool. We hooked you up with that Free CD Answer of the Day! We do it every day between 7 and 8 am. It's an easy contest, a baby could win. That's right, a diaper-wearing, mashed up food eating baby. The big topic today was, should you tell a friend whenever they have somthing on their face, or if they have something wrong with them in some way. IE, bad breath, B.O., visible boogers, that sort of thing. Lots of responses...wow...you all are getting to be as bad as we are...nice work. |
| 6/20/2006 7:29:51 AM I'm working on getting some pictures from the Mainstay concert/Yard Dawgz game loaded up on the site. Sarah, one of my great volunteers took some pictures. While we were there, we saw some awesome mullets. I hope you get to see them. They are majestic. Janelle's working on getting her storm chasing pics up. These are all great reasons to visit the morning show page, as if you needed any more. |
| 6/14/2006 2:03:46 PM Today's show...what can I say...crazy...Janelle comes in with this story about Shane and his 22 pound catfish. Wild...we played the Summer Jam again. If you missed it, you can catch it on the main McCoy page. It's awesome beyond words. We opened up the phones to let people tell us who they would like to have dinner with. Ali in Bartlesville said C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkein, TobyMac, BarlowGirl, and George W. Bush...wow. That would be interesting. Tony Weir comes in to the studio and spills vanilla syrup all over himself...funny! I got a couple of emails wanting me to apologize for stuff that I've said...that happens a lot. Comments, suggestions, complaints? Brent@thehousefm.com. Thanks! |
| 6/9/2006 10:16:33 AM The big concert was last night with Jessie Daniels and Forayker. Great show. Everyone was great! Jessie was excited that people sang along with her music! I was amazed at how many people actually wanted my autograph and picture...it just goes to show you that people need a higher standard of celebrity...that's just the humble opinion of someone who happens to be fortunate enough to be on the radio...Peace out! Have a great weekend. |
| 6/7/2006 6:14:31 AM Just when I thought I was doing well, things go horribly wrong. Last night on the softball field, I went 0-3. That's right, I batted 3 times and got 0 hits. Pathetic. Here's the worst part; my team is down by 2, bottom of the last inning. We've got one guy on base and 2 outs when I step to the plate. If I hit a homerun, we tie the game. If I just get a hit, the guy on base will probably score, then I'm on base with Carder the Intern (a solid batter) coming up behind me, then the top of the lineup, more good batters. I get a strike on me, so I'm looking for the perfect pitch...I swing hard, and hit a grounder to the second baseman who tosses the ball to the shortstop to force my man Noe out at second...sorry Noe...sorry team...sorry everyone...we lose...and it's pretty much my fault... |
| 5/31/2006 8:58:09 AM ...not cool, Janelle...not cool...anyway. I also gunned a guy and got him out at third base as he tried to get there from second. I was in the outfield. Janelle...I will gun you too if you try to hijack my blog again! ARGH! |
| 5/31/2006 8:22:25 AM Last night, I was amazed at my own awesomeness (that's probably not a word). In our softball game, I went 3 for 3. I had 2 RBI, I scored 1 run, I caught 3 pop flies, Blah,Blah,Blah......(This is Janelle now) you know if I actually cared about softball and the prowess of Brent McCoy, I would actually be impressed....but I am not and therefore blah blah blah....... |
| 5/23/2006 12:48:34 PM It's been wild around here lately. We have so many interviews on the calendar, I can barely keep track of them! We've had Run Kid Run, Glen from Downhere, and Natalie Grant. In the next few weeks, we've got several folks on the calendar; Nate Sallie, Todd Agnew, The Turning, and a guy that invented some flavor spray (don't worry, it's cool, I think...) We're also doing a couple of big contests right now; the Ride of Your Life, and the Best Worst Senior picture contest. You should check out those pics...they are terrible... |
| 5/15/2006 8:03:09 AM Another good Saturday... I woke up around 10:15. I can't remember the last time I slept in that long...that probably means there's something to worry about that I have forgotten about. I went to the station at about 10:45. Did a little DJing, worked on some promos, then I grabbed some lunch at Ponca Townsite Co. There were about 1500 people in there...it took awhile to get my food, but it's all good. After lunch with my wonderful wife, I did some yard work. I chopped down a couple of branches, then hauled them to the trash. Then I went to the music store. I picked up some strap locks to use with my bass and my acoustic, so now I can do some awesome rock and roll type manuevers with my gutiars and I won't have to worry about my guitar flying into the crowd and braining someone. I also purchased a reed for my sax, and I bought a chorus pedal to use with my acoustic. That means I must now actually play my acoustic at some point. After the buying of things, I went to the YMCA and lifted all the weights that were in the building. Since I had lifted all the weight, I went out into the parking lot and started lifting the cars that were there. Sometimes I'm so huge I frighten myself. Then I came home and Marybeth and I made dinner. It feels good to use the gas grill, it's like you've conquered winter and summer is anew... |
| 5/11/2006 11:17:03 AM So what if I'm a big baby!? This morning at 1:38 am, I got the worst leg cramp. I began screaming and yelling, while pulling my leg up next to my face (which is difficult, by the way). I tried to rub the cramp out, but my calf felt like a rock! When I finally stumbled to my feet, I realized that I also had a cramp in my neck! This was not the way I wanted to get my day started! After waking up Marybeth (and probably everyone on our block), everything got back to normal...then I got up in 3 hours and came to work...Has anything like that ever happened to you? Let me know brent@thehousefm.com. |
| 5/10/2006 8:13:52 AM I must say, my life is now more complicated because of something that is supposed to make my life less complicated. Do you follow? Here's the deal, it's been about a year since I last used my planner. My brother got it for me. I had to get a refill on the calendar section. I realized why I stopped using it at the end of the Summer last year. IT FREAKS ME OUT! Normally, I just wake up, and allow people to point me in the direction I need to go. Now, I actually have to SEE where I'm supposed to be before I get there. That's messed up! I now know how Michael Keaton felt in that movie "Multiplicity"...I like pizza Steve... |
| 5/8/2006 7:13:25 AM I really need to blog more often! Man...maybe things will settle down now that Sharathon is over and April is over...NAHHHH! Oh well, I wouldn't have it any other way. Big news today. My mom was voted "Teacher of the Year" at her school. Maybe someday, my peers will vote on me to get an award....ah who am I kidding?! |
| 4/26/2006 6:52:05 AM Here it is. Day 2 of Sharathon. We need your prayers. We need your financial support. Please think about us today. If you've not taken time to pledge, please consider doing so. We desire to have you as a partner in this ministry, you won't understand how much of a blessing you can be until you become a giving listener. Thanks! |
| 4/24/2006 12:20:25 PM Praise and Prayer Day! Good times. We're getting ready for Sharathon which means we need you! We need your prayers, we need your financial support, and we need your calls! This is going to be a fun time, but also a stressful time, and I probably won't be on my computer very much. So if you email me and I don't get back to you this week, it's not because I'm blowing you off, it's because someone is at my computer doing some work.Tune in tomorrow, that's when the fun begins! See ya. |
| 4/20/2006 11:23:17 AM So...what went down today? We are campaigning to be the Best Radio Station in Enid. That's with the Enid News and Eagle. That's a great name for a newspaper, by the way. Janelle talked about a new version of Oreo cookies coming out in June...they will have instructions for dunking...like anyone needs that! There's a new song posted on the McCoy in the Morning page. It was inspired by actual events from Janelle's life. Check it out, let me know what you think! Have a great Thursday. |
| 4/18/2006 12:13:03 PM I just realized it had been 8 days since my last blog...I'm worthless. |
| 4/18/2006 12:05:45 PM I can't believe we contributed to a kid flooding his parents' bathroom. If you missed it, here's the story. Courtney called this morning to tell us that a little boy that she teaches at head start heard us talking about destroying the Peeps and decided they'd flush some down the toilet. Sadly, Peeps don't flush. I whole-heartedly apologize for any toilets that may have been clogged as a result of Thursday's show, and Janelle will cover all plumbing costs... |
| 4/10/2006 1:43:21 PM Pretty good show today, not bad for a Monday. I had a good weekend, my parents came to visit. That was fun. I love my Mom and Dad. They are awesome people. I learned so much from them growing up. I learned to try to treat people with respect and fairness. I learned to try to love people whenever possible. I also learned that you can't really hide the fact that you broke a couch with your brother while wrestling in the living room...that was a biggie... |
| 4/8/2006 12:52:20 PM Okay, I've had some time to process the goings-on of GMA Music Week. I'll share with you a few of the new artists that I was impressed with throughout the week. Ayeisha Woods; awesome, she rocked the crowds with hip-hop, soul, and r&b that hasn't been seen before. We're playing her new song "Happy" on the House. Listen for it. Jackson Waters; cool new band with a unique sound with a bit of southern rock flavor. Marybeth, my wife, actually went to high school with Jesse, the guitarist. Group 1 Crew; they were a new hip-hop, r&b trio. The actually made radio people get up and move! Family Force 5 was a group that really can't be explained. I'll just say they were impressive...different...but impressive. M.O.C. was a quartet of ladies who brought some serious hip-hop grooves. Of course there were some other folks who weren't new, but had some great new stuff to debut. Warren Barfield, Nate Sallie, BarlowGirl, Plumb, Downhere, Hawk Nelson, Stellar Kart, and a ton of other folks did a great job. If you want to know more, hit me up with an email brent@thehousefm.com. That's all for now. Tune in to the show Monday to find out about the big 5K race that I ran in this morning! |
| 4/4/2006 6:05:12 PM First of all, I must apologize for not doing this sooner, but I haven't really had a chance! This is Day 4 of GMA week and it's been a blast. Hopefully I'll get a chance to put some of the new things I've learned into practice. It has been non stop so far! Marybeth and I are getting ready for a concert showcase featuring BarlowGirl, Building 429, Stellar Kart, Plumb, Nate Sallie, and a ton of new bands. It was crazy last night, we were at a Gotee records showcase...it was LOUD. Anyway, I've gotta go, be sure and tune into the morning show to catch the great interviews. I hope you've enjoyed them so far. I'll see you when I get back! |
| 3/29/2006 1:35:37 PM This is it. My last day before I leave for Nashville. It's a little hectic trying to get everything ready to go. I just want to make sure I'm caught up on everything, before I go. I'll remember something of course, when I'm on the plane. That's the way it always works. I'm going to try to keep up my blog as I'm gone. So you can hear from me, from Nashville. Thanks for reading! |
| 3/24/2006 5:48:51 PM Happy Friday everyone! I know it's a little late today, but I have a good excuse. I went to my old college, UCO, to speak to the intro to broadcasting class. It was cool, although I felt like an old man...hopefully I inspired an entire generation of new DJs that will eventually take my job...if they dare...anyway, big plans this weekend; Mat Kearney in Enid on Saturday. I'll be visiting some friends in Alva too, they just had a baby, and I like babies. They smell weird. Make sure you tune in Monday, we're talking about co-workers stealing your ideas and taking credit for them...this should be interesting... |
| 3/22/2006 1:05:30 PM Yesterday was cold. Today is cold. Tomorrow looks to be cold again. I don't really mind the cold, but it is a little more difficult to run and train outside. I ran outside a couple of nights ago, and when I got up the next morning, my throat felt as if I'd been gargling with broken glass. That's a bad thing, by the way. I could train on a treadmill...but I feel like I run and run and run and never get anywhere...I wonder why that is? |
| 3/21/2006 11:21:15 AM Hey how about that rain?! The universal conversation starter is the weather. Try it today. Just say, "Hey, how about that rain?!" Someone will begin talking to you, I guarantee it! Decent morning show today, not as good as some have been, but decent none the less. Be sure to listen tomorrow, Janelle and I will be chatting with Warren Barfield about his new CD "Reach". Warren's going to be in concert along with Shawn McDonald in Wichita Monday the 27th. We've got details on our concert page. Let's see...I guess that's it for now; comments or complaints can be sent to brent@thehousefm.com! |
| 3/16/2006 11:51:57 AM Hey everybody. Happy Thursday! I don't know what's been wrong with Janelle and me, but we've actually strung together some pretty decent shows the past few days! That's quite uncharacteristic of us...anyway...good conversation today with Building 429's Jason Roy. You can listen in case you missed it, it's on line at www.thehousefm.com/mccoy. We've got another interview with Barry from Mercy Me tomorrow at 8:00 am. I'm working on chasing down Warren Barfield and Shawn McDonald for some interviews about their new CDs. It's wild. WILD I SAY! Tomorrow's St. Patrick's Day too! Holy cow, I think my head's gonna explode.... |
| 3/14/2006 12:17:19 PM After giving Janelle such a hard time about not doing her blog, I forgot to do mine yesterday. In the words of Bugs Bunny, "What a maroon!" Anyway. I think we had a pretty good show today. Seems like we've strung together some pretty good shows lately...wow. We've got a couple of special guests on the show later this week. Building 429 will be joining us on Thursday to talk about the new album, then on Friday one of the guys from Mercy Me will be joining us to talk about their new song "So Long Self". I hope you're enjoying your week so far. If you ever have ideas of stuff for us to do, let us know, we might use your idea on the air! Thanks for reading this blog. |
| 3/10/2006 2:35:08 PM Here we are at the end of another week. It's been good. It seems to have flown by. It's hard to believe that it's over. I plan on doing some shopping this weekend with my wife. I actually like shopping. It's fun to walk around and look at all the stuff you want but don't need. Who doesn't enjoy that!? Marybeth does need some new running shoes. She's worn a hole no the inside lining of her pink and white New Balance shoes. I was looking on line at some running shoes for her. Did you know that Nike makes a running shoe that cost $159? $159! If I ever paid that much for a shoe...I...I..........I'm sorry, I blacked out for a minute...where was I? Oh yes, shoe shopping! It's funny because I actually have more shoes than Marybeth. I enjoy shoes. Does that make me weird? Yeah, I didn't think so. I'll let you know how it goes on Monday! Thoughts? Comments? Complaints? brent@thehousefm.com |
| 3/9/2006 1:32:08 PM Just finished the Thursday Lunch Break with Tony. It's always fun to hear what people are having for lunch. I had some leftover pizza today. Not bad...not really good...but not bad. Sometime I'm going to dedicate an entire blog entry to "Stuff that happens in the DJ office." That would be priceless. Here's a couple of examples; Staci, one of our interns, has been sending faxes for what seems like hours. Shaun, Jeremy, and Tony have been discussing what MP3 recorders are best. I've been typing this blog and trying to come up with ideas for the morning show. That's about all...I guess it's not that exciting or priceless...and Staci is still sending faxes. |
| 3/8/2006 10:01:20 AM It looks like I'll be getting out of here a little sooner than usual today. I'll be speaking at Perry High School and Perry Junior High. Their FISH clubs are meeting. These are on-campus Bible studies designed to get kids to hear the Gospel. I only hope that I can be an effective communicator. Would you pray for me today? I would appreciate it. See you tomorrow. |
| 3/7/2006 11:15:31 AM Tuesday, bluesday, better wear shoes day! Hope yours is going well. We chatted with Chris from Sanctus Real today. You can listen from the morning show page. It's pretty interesting to hear what the guys from Sanctus Real have gone through in the past year and a half. There's been a ton of stuff added to the morning show page, if you've not checked out the "Sound Clips" page or the "Pictures" section, check 'em out. Tune in tomorrow, we're talking about sushi, and how nasty it is. We always want to hear from you as well. You can send me an email at Brent@thehousefm.com, you can contact Janelle at Janelle@thehousefm.com. Thanks! |
| 3/6/2006 1:42:28 PM It's just another Manic Monday...actually things are pretty calm considering that it's a post-concert Monday. Janelle seemed calm...right up until the email from Tammy about mice. If you want to hear or see Janelle flip her wig, do something mouse related. It's funny...seriously. I don't know what cracks me up about seeing a woman so freaked out she can barely make a sound other than a high-pitched scream/cry (complete with tears). Perhaps I'm the one with issues? Nah... |
| 2/28/2006 10:35:10 AM That Frito Chili pie made my face sweat... |
| 2/28/2006 10:30:00 AM Ahhh...lunch time. I know that you're thinking "Lunch at 10:30? That's wacked out!" When you eat breakfast at 5:00 am, you get hungry by about 10...so BACK OFF. Today...it's the magic of Frito Chili Pie...YUM! Sometimes I just eat luch to survive, but today, I am truly enjoying lunch. Fritos, a can of beanless Wolf Brand Chili, and a delicious slice of pepper jack cheese...oh no I just drooled on myself... |
| 2/27/2006 1:21:41 PM Happy Monday! How's life everyone? Things are going pretty well today...so far. I just found out that we'll be interviewing Plumb on the morning show. If you have any questions for Plumb, send them my way, brent@thehousefm.com. I'd be glad to ask away! We are gettting geared up for the big concert with Rebecca St. James (who will be on the show tomorrow at 7:30!), BarlowGirl, and Jadon Lavik. We hope to see you there. It's gonna be great. Anyway, I'm out the door! Have a great afternoon! |
| 2/24/2006 2:51:32 PM Here we are friend, at the end of another week. It's been a good week. Interviews galore! Hopefully the trend will continue. It's fun to talk to artists and get into their heads a little bit, find out what makes them tick. Check out the audio section to hear some of the interviews you may have missed. Here's who we've talked to lately, Matthew West, Miss America Jennifer Berry, Charlie Hall, and Becca from BarlowGirl. Next week we're talking to Rebecca St. James, who holds the distinction of being on our show the most out of anyone...except Janelle, me, Alfred, and the Town Crier...but we really don't count. See you Monday! |
| 2/23/2006 11:58:32 AM It's Thursday...that's the good news. The bad news is that my wife Marybeth has the flu! I just found out a while ago. I feel a little powerless because I don't know what to do. I've cooked, done some cleaning, and tried to be a good husband, but this is one of those times when I feel like I can't do enough to make her better. I'm sure you've felt like that before at some point in your life. What do you do? |
| 2/22/2006 12:16:24 PM Hey everybody, thanks for stopping by to check my blog. It amazes me any time anyone cares about what I have to say. I've been asked to speak at a church in Owasso next Wednesday night. It's kind of exciting. I always enjoy speaking to groups of people. I guess I do that every day, but it's different when you can actually see the people you're talking to....if you ever have any feedback on this blog, just drop me a line at brent@thehousefm.com. I'd love to hear from you. We may even read your email on the air! Thanks again for stopping by the site. |
| 2/21/2006 10:11:13 AM Amazing, it's been nearly a week since my last blog entry. I would apologize, but it's just been one of those lives...you know what I'm talking about. Yours may very well be the same way. Sometimes it seems like I meet myself coming and going. The show was pretty good today. Charlie Hall was on. I admire people like that. They can get great messages about life and faith and put them to music. It's really pretty awesome. Then I think about what I do...I press buttons, make jokes, and sometime type on a blog page to share my innermost thoughts with my radio friends. I hope you've enjoyed my thoughts today. If so, maybe Charlie Hall and I have a little more in common than just baldness, shortness, and goatee-ness! |
| 2/15/2006 1:02:02 PM I've never heard so many people tell so many stories of people sticking their feet in their mouths...fun show today. We've all had situations like it before. I didn't share my worst one. I wasn't saying anything, but it was my actions. It's happened twice. Once, when I first started working here, fresh out of college, I was standing on my desk acting like a monkey, making Tony laugh...then our station manager walked in. I'm really surprised I'm still working here...maybe that's why I've been told that a monkey could do my job...sheesh. Make sure and tune in tomorrow when Janelle and I will be joined by Miss America! |
| 2/10/2006 2:08:15 PM Oh man...Tony fixed the microphone holder. For those who missed it, the microphone fell off the holder...while we were on the air...good stuff. I wrapped the thing with Duct Tape, which I thought was awesome, but that wasn't so good, so I used some green zip ties...I guess that wasn't good enough either. So Tony fixed the thing. He actually replaced the screw that had lost its threads. That actually sounds like a fairy tale. "The Screw That Lost its Threads". It would involve a kind old woodsman, an evil witch, and of course, some type of enchanted food. Yep that's me, Brent Grimm. |
| 2/10/2006 11:49:26 AM Wow...it's been a long time since I've blogged! Sorry. I know the 2 or 3 of you who actually read this thing have been greatly deprived. My Grandma Mary passed away on Sunday. The past few days have been odd. What is normally a great time with my family was odd and without direction. My Granmother's house is now almost empty seeing as how no one lives there any more. It was strange for all of the family to be there without her. My Grandma was a Christian and we will see her again. She was a pretty amazing woman as she and my Grandpa raise my Dad and his four brothers. I only hope that someday I can leave a legacy like she has left. |
| 2/1/2006 2:23:56 PM Pretty good show today...I know I say that all the time, but today I mean it. Yesterday I was talking to David Morrow, one of the principals at East Middle School, he coached Michael at Hillsdale Christian College in Moore, OK. Michael said the team was 11-60, David said the team was actually 11-33! But...the next year, Hillsdale won a National title in baseball! Interesting...we called our Super Bowl party winner Pam Hayes of Hunter, OK. She was pumped. It's going to be fun. If you want to tune in, we'll be in the studio giving updates on the party...and uh...the game too...why not. We also discussed Janelle and the fact she broke a tooth at some point...she never realized it. How does one not realize that?! I snapped off a piece of a molar, and I knew about it immediately. That's why several of my molars look like the Terminator...half man, half machine. I still like the idea of a unitooth. No gaps, no need for floss, good times. Any investors out there wanna invest in the unitooth? Anyone? |
| 1/30/2006 1:36:39 PM Hey hey hey hey hey hey! I'm back from a weekend in Pryor. I did a Big Weekend there where I taught Freshmen. It was good times. We discussed that on today's morning show. We also heard from Carder the Intern who had a strange tribute to Chuck Norris...don't ask, I don't know either. We read one of the entries for our Super Bowl Party giveaway, details are online at www.thehousefm.com/mccoy. Janelle and I also talked about the fact that she has killed 7 fish in the year 2006. SEVEN FISH! I'm surprised the folks at PETA haven't gotten on her case yet....of course with one well-timed phone call, they may be...see you tomorrow... |
| 1/25/2006 12:31:16 PM Wow, have you checked out the dance section of the McCoy page? It's amazing to see how rhythmically challenged Janelle is. Seriously...I'm not that great of a dancer either...but...I mean...it's like she was trying to dance badly...anyway...check it out, drop us a line and let us know what you think. Good or bad...but especially bad. Thanks. |
| 1/24/2006 11:23:23 AM So...here be the rundown of today's show. We talked about the experience that my buddy Zac and I had during our game of racquetball last night. We got demolished by some other friends, French and Jason. Total domination...too bad really. Also, Zac got hit in the back a few times. That's always funny...unless it happens to you. We discussed car clutter. You'd be amazed at some of the stuff people have in their cars. I'm not naming any names, but I know of one 89.7 the House DJ who drives around with bags of garbage in the trunk. You want to know who, drop me a line at brent@thehousefm.com. I'll tell you, because it's not me. True dat, double true! |
| 1/23/2006 1:33:58 PM This is going to be a big week...Michael Boggs from FFH will be on the show on Thursday. They're going to be in concert in Bartlesville Friday night. We're also getting the "Unforgettable Super Bowl Contest" going. Send an email and tell why you deserve the party, and we may pick you as the winner! I'm feeling a little sick today. I don't know what the deal is. I've been coughing and my voice sounds all messed up. I would go home and take a nap, but then I'd miss Maury. You can't mess with the routine! |
| 1/20/2006 6:44:59 AM Here we are at the beginning of Friday. Congrats on almost making it to the weekend! We've got some great stuff planned for today, stay tuned! |
| 1/18/2006 1:08:26 PM Here's what happened on today's show, in case you missed it. If so, shame on you! Janelle came in and we talked about the fact that as a senior in high school, I was as good a basketball player as some of the Ponca and Stillwater freshmen. I stand by that statement. We discussed the pop tart wrapper fiasco (see the 'this week' section of this page). I really think it's disturbing to humanize food, or foodanize humans, for that matter. Weird...we then had a brilliant conversation with Patrick Washbach, interior designer for Deadrock Decorations, Inc. He gave advice like "Attach a tack to the back of a knick-knack rack" to hang it on the wall. Brilliant. American Idol started last night. Someone really should let some of these people know before they get on TV that THEY CANNOT SING. I hate to be mean, but I think it's meaner to tell someone who can't sing that they can. We discussed the fact that women tend to eat more sweets when they are depressed, and men eat more meat when they are happy. Interesting...of course I could eat an entire truckload of Pepper Jack Doritos whether I'm happy or sad. You want to get on my good side...get me some of those! Peace out. |
| 1/17/2006 9:17:14 AM Here's another link to a movie we talked about today: www.endofthespear.com. Check it out, the movie tells the story of 5 missionaries and their demise at the hands of the very people they were attempting to share the Gospel with. It looks pretty good. |
| 1/17/2006 9:09:57 AM Here are the sites Janelle and I talked about earlier this morning. Copy and paste them into your browser for a time-wastin' good time! www.virtualstapler.com www.nonstop.lv/files/bubblewrap.swf Here's another one that's pretty fun: www.homestarrunner.com. Enjoy. Let us know how the fun goes! |
| 1/12/2006 1:24:05 PM So...you want to be able to command a person in a giant chicken suit? I've got your hookup. Big thanks to Dannette for sending me this web site: http://www.subservientchicken.com/. I've already tried to get him to demolish the TV...he just won't do it. Have fun, waste some time, and let me know how it works out for you! Brent |
| 1/4/2006 12:46:27 PM Okay, I've rethought my New Year's Resolution. It was to clean my desk. Period. While that will remain on my list, I think I've decided to add some things. Shake as many people as possible. I'm not talking about violent shaking, just gentle shaking. I think that's needed in today's society. I've also decided to give out as many high-fives as possible. In my humble opinion, these are two fine resolutions that will make the world a better place. |
| 1/3/2006 11:12:08 AM First blog of the new year...whoopeee! I thought I'd go ahead and run down that list of top resolutions according to about.com. They are as follows: 10. Buy a house or move...interesting. 9. Find a hobby...I guess other than drinking Mountain Dew and eating Doritos. 8. Be more organized. 7. Take a trip. 6. Find a mate...as opposed to find a pri-mate. 5. Get a better education. 4. Give up a bad habit. 3. Spend less or pay off a debt. 2. Get into shape...what about the shape of a circle? That should count. 1. Get a better job. Hope those work out for you. Happy New Year! |
| 12/28/2005 12:22:20 PM Hey everybody. Have you been following my delightful stories of my adventures in the backyard? I have eleventy billion leaves in my back yard. I tried to complete the gathering process yesterday, but to no avail. The wind was blowing at 7,000 miles per hour. Every time I would use the leaf blower, the wind would blow the stinking leaves back onto me, making me the Abominable Leaf Man. BEWARE CHILDREN, IT'S THE ABOMINABLE LEAF MAN! Fear strikes the hearts of all who are so unfortunate to have an encounter with the Abominable Leaf Man who can cover everything with crispy brown cracklin' death...fiction is fun isn't it? |
| 12/27/2005 1:58:29 PM This morning we got some great recipes for leftovers, here's one from Danette in Ohio: Easy Turkey Divan Grease a 9x11 baking dish (I use Pam) Layer broccoli spears (2-10oz packages or a 1-lb package) Sprinkle on 2 tbsp parmesan cheese Layer turkey on top (as much as you can fit) Mix 1 can cream of chicken soup with 1/4 cup milk and 1/4 tsp nutmeg. Spread on top of turkey Mix 1 cup Bisquick with 2 tbsp butter or margarine and 2 tbsp parmesan cheese. Sprinkle on top of soup Bake 350 about 35-40 minutes. Nice, looks like I may have to try that next time I have some turkey leftovers! Thanks. |
| 12/22/2005 10:25:54 AM I am a bad man. Not bad like the kids say, but bad meaning bad. So far I have 3 gifts from the people I work with, yet I have nothing to give in return. I do feel bad, but I haven't even finished shopping for my family yet. I've got to shop for my brother and my wife. Maybe this year for Christmas, someone will get me a clone. That way I could get everything done, and still have some time to myself or...myselves. |
| 12/19/2005 12:40:29 PM I went shopping this past weekend. Yes, as a matter of fact, I do have something wrong with me...the mall at Tulsa was packed with people, all looking to get the stuff they thought they needed. It was crazy. I did something that I've never done before. I actually bought Marybeth's Christmas present while she was with me. I'm a little ashamed...but I didn't really have another chance. We still have to get something for my brother. I have no idea what to get him. We really have different tastes in clothes, so that's pretty much out the window. I don't know. We'll see what happens...I guess I'll just keep the receipts. |
| 12/15/2005 1:04:25 PM I was just glacing at all the the stuff on my desk that reminded me of some more great stuff we've done on the show. Remember when we gave away the Toy Yoda? Classic. How about the disgusting Jones Soda Holiday flavors? Chair races down the office hallway? Awesome. Thanks for all the folks who have dropped me emails to let me know about their favorite memories. You guys are awesome. |
| 12/14/2005 1:07:17 PM Today was the big anniversary show. So many memories clog my mind...the watermelon drop, Jake the Intern giving out donuts at the shiny new stoplight North of town, the midnight showing of Star Wars Episode III, throwing out the first pitch before the Redhawks baseball game, getting blasted by 50 people with waterguns, getting blasted with a watergun in the studio (thanks Tony), jumping over the couch (and smashing into the wall) on Evel Kienevel's birthday, and of course sharing my stories of personal triumph...and not so triumph...Thanks for tuning in. Here's to another 3 years (or until you get tired of me)! |
| 12/13/2005 12:27:41 PM I realized last night that I've been doing the morning show for 3 years as of today. 3 years of getting up at 4:30 in the morning. 3 years of being addicted to coffee. 3 years of being the only person on the road (most days). 3 years of attempting to entertain you on a daily basis. Hopefully I've done a decent job of it...maybe I haven't, I don't know. Anyway, thanks for making us a part of your morning each and every day for the past 3 years. What are some of your favorite moments from the past 3 years? Drop me an email at brent@thehousefm.com. We may read yours on the show tomorrow. |
| 12/12/2005 10:14:55 AM Here we are again, Monday morning. I guess this weekend went well. I put up a shelf in our laundry room. Smacked my head on the corner of one of the shelves. I didn't bleed too bad. That's good. I had to put my grill away this weekend. That was a little sad. I mentioned it on the morning show today and got the following email from my man Dave in Indiana: Here in Indiana we laugh at snow and grill 365 days a year! Stepping outside on the patio with no coat and only flip flops on our feet. Be a real man like us Hoosiers and grill while snow swirls around you. Fire good! Dave... I may have to grill somehting now, just to prove I'm a man...thanks for the encouragement Dave... |
| 12/6/2005 12:32:47 PM Car safety...it's always a hot topic, especially when the weather is cold. The Ford Five Hundred and Mercury Montego, when equipped with optional side airbags, earned a Gold "Top Safety Pick" award for large cars from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The Audi A6 was given the Silver award for large cars. I don't know anyone who has either of these cars. My car wasn't on the list...then again, they weren't testing 1999 Grand Ams... |
| 12/2/2005 2:55:51 PM I don't care what any one says, Christmas Time is here! I had a fun time deocorating our artificial tree last night. It's adorned with some fun ornaments, namely the Cat in the Hat and Thing 1 (I don't know where Thing 2 is). Then of course there's the traditional Christmas scenes, the Nativity, wise men, ice skating penguins...any way fun times. I hope you have as much fun as I did decorating my tree. Have a great weekend! See you Monday. |
| 11/30/2005 2:19:38 PM Hey everybody. I hope you caught the interview with Natalie Grant this morning. If you missed it...well...you'll probably be okay, but you're probably sad that you missed it. You should be. It was great. We've got a ton of stuff to talk about tomorrow; world's ugliest dog, 'holiday' trees vs. Christmas trees, face transplants, lions, tigers, and bears...(oh my). It will be one for the books. I hope you've had a great week so far. You're half way finished, that should give you some comfort. Thanks for reading. Peace out. |
| 11/29/2005 6:19:59 AM Wow, I guess I should start with an apology. I haven't done this blog in over a week. I know there are 'ones' of sad fans out there who demand to know what's up. It's Tuesday and normality seems to be back in full swing after Thanksgiving. I got to see a lot, if not all, of my family. That's always fun. Marybeth and I were the only couple at my Grandma's house that didn't have kids. No one really noticed though, because there were thousands of children there from my cousins. That's my Dad's side of the family. My Dad has four brothers, so you can imagine the fun that we have when we go there. My Dad's mom is a huge sports fan. It's always funny whenever there's a big game on TV, I'll call my Grandma Mary and ask what she's up to. Her reply 95% of the time; "Just watchin' the game". Awesome. On my Mom's side of the family, we went to my Uncle John's house. We went there in the evening. That's always fun as well. Whenever we go there, we end up playing one of the best board games of all time (although it's technically not a board game), Catchphrase. It's always a blast, and we all end up laughing (usually because of my cousin Rochelle). That's why I'm thankful for my family, both sides. I can always be happy around them. I'm always amazed at how much of myself I see in my family. Most of the time....that's a good thing! |
| 11/21/2005 2:38:48 PM First of all, here are a few more nicknames that came in via email: Greedy Greta, Edible Cinnamon Ameripino, Llama, Gertrude, Gracie Lou, Camel, Camilliacious Camille, all great nicknames. Now, on to the race. I ran in the Turkey Trot on Saturday. That was wild. 6.2 miles in 53 minutes and 49 seconds. I finished 31st out of 57 runners. Not bad for my first time out running that distance. About halfway through, I saw a couple of kids with skateboards watching the race...I contemplated grabbing one of their boards and hooking onto a car and cruising to the finish, but for some reason, that didn't seem like it would have been quite as fulfilling. |
| 11/18/2005 3:05:58 PM So, I said I'd put some nicknames up on my blog...here are the names that were called in by people: Jefffeseski Squirrel, Melon Head, Pork Chop, Armpit Sniffer, Doodlebug, Hambone, Lone Wolf, Buster, Sewerfish, Chicken Head, Medusa...those are just some of the nicknames. When I get some more time, I'll hit you up with 100 nicknames for a friend of mine, and I'll explain more about what I'm talking about. If you have a weird nickname for me, drop me an email at brent@thehousefm.com. Thanks for reading. Peace and hair grease. |
| 11/17/2005 1:25:46 PM So, it's been a few days, did you miss me? No? Didn't think so. It's been a weird week, lots of driving. Tuesday night we went to the UCO Jazz Lab to watch a presentation of "Mostly Mozart". The students did a good job. Only thing is, I looked at my watch and it was 10 and I was still in Edmond. Normally, I'm in bed, close to asleep at 10. So I let Marybeth drive home. (She doesn't normally like to drive at night). Last night I went to Bartlesville to speak at Bartlesville First Church of the Nazarene. That was fun, I had a good time with the kids. Of course, Saturday is the big Turkey Trot 10K Race. I'm looking to finish in under an hour. Surely I can do that. Be sure to tune in tomorrow for a special show on nicknames. We'll see what you have to say about them! Peace out! |
| 11/14/2005 2:55:27 PM Who reads this stuff...honestly...Today's a big running day for your old buddy Brent. 5.5 miles for training on the Turkey Trot. That's a 6.2 mile run coming up on Saturday. I'm excited to see if I'm actually able to make it that far...we'll see. We had a big flag football game yesterday. Adult Youth Workers vs. High School Youth. Old guys won! Sweet revenge from last year's outing. We'll see how things turn out next week when we play the middle school. I see a lot of carnage... |
| 11/10/2005 10:25:48 AM I don't know if you caught today's show or not, if not, let me tell you...IT WAS FANTASTIC! Leanna Creel was on the show today. She played "Torrie" from Saved by the Bell. That was great, Janelle ran over a rabbit on her way in. Everything you need to have a great show. Tune in tomorrow for Joy Williams and Jenna Kinnaird. It's always good to have people who are more interesting than Janelle and me on the show! Guests=good show. No guests=bad show. Nice. Who would you like to see on the show? Let me know, I'll make it happen! |
| 11/7/2005 1:57:59 PM Bald like Me...only a few entries so far. I don't know what qualms people have about letting me loose on their heads with a Mach 3 razor. What's the deal!? Anyway, that's been fun so far! One lady emailed Janelle and said I should shave her head. That.....would.....be.....awesome! I bet her head is weird-shaped. Probably looks like a sack of potatoes. By the way, VOTE FOR JENNA! Help us win a free concert. |
| 11/4/2005 3:56:07 PM Friday...big football night. I always like watching High School football. It reminds me of my glory days. I don't have any of those any more....unless you count the tremendous success of the morning show! Yes, I shall count that. Every day is a glory day! Even today! Wow, I feel much better now! Have a glorious weekend! |
| 11/3/2005 1:40:29 PM My wife was reading some of these blogs the other night and said, "Some of these are really not funny." She's right. Sometimes I'm not funny. Okay, most of the time I'm not funny...Tony says I'm rarely funny. Jeremy thinks I'm funny. Janelle's pretty funny. People like her. I wonder what that's like? |
| 11/1/2005 12:54:43 PM I think I've decided what to do to give away the Nivea Gift Bag. This thing's got about $100 worth of products in it; shave gel, facial soap, after shave, eye cream, all sorts of great stuff. You'll just have to tune in to see what happens with this contest...what else is happening...oh yes, Mark Lee from Third Day will be on the show Thursday! How cool is that?! I'm feeling pretty good today. I'm training for the Turkey Day 10K (6.2 miles) run coming up November 19 in Ponca City. I ran...RAN 4.5 miles yesterday. No stops, no walks, I ran! I know it sounds like I'm bragging, and maybe I am a little bit, but I've never run that far before. I'm looking forward to testing my limits. We shall see what happens. |
| 10/27/2005 1:23:19 PM I went to the funeral of my Aunt Delpha yesterday. She was 81 years old. It's interesting to me to see the people who show up at funerals. There were so many people. I wonder if she knew how many lives she affected while here on Earth? She lived her life to serve others, and that was evidenced by the turnout yesterday. She may not have had a lot of Earthly riches, but she invested her life in others. She had a Sunday School pen (they used to give these out) for consecutive Sundays without missing. Her pen was for 48 years. 48 years without missing a single Sunday School class! That's 2,496 Sundays in a row for those keeping score at home. That kind of commitment doesn't exist any more. The world is going to miss Delpha. Bill, her husband of 64 years is going to miss her. Her family and friends will miss her, but God and all the inhabitants of Heaven are rejoicing because a Saint has come home. |
| 10/25/2005 11:12:36 AM Hello my sweet babies. I'm sorry it's been so long since my last blog. Now I'm back and ready to the attack...so to speak. I'm a little upset right now. I just microwaved my Progresso soup and what did I find? Peas. Small, green, squishy, disgusting peas. Why ruin a good soup type lunch by sticking gross peas in it? C'mon! If I wanted peas in my soup, I would have bought....pea....soup. Anyhoo, no one's paid me to be a food development expert...yet. I do have some good ideas though...just ask me. I guess that's all for now. I'm sorry for wasting your time with my personal tragedies. |
| 10/21/2005 12:08:35 PM Ah yes, I get to type again! This is Jeremy, in for Brent who is temporarily out of his mind...uh I mean building (and the state). I love Friday mornings, the Friday Morning song is awesome. You know, Brent has no idea what is going on while he's gone, in fact, Shaun Michaels booked him with an interview with "Biff" (Tom Wilson) from the Back to the Future movies. Tom has a new comedy CD out soon, so it should be fun with one comedian vs. another on the show. And then after it's all over he'll "make like a tree and get out of here!" |
| 10/20/2005 11:33:23 AM Jeremy here...the much taller and better looking version of Brent.(he's on vacation) Thanks to everyone who called the show this morning about what you like and don't like about work dress codes. (FYI- The NBA has a new one requiring business casual attire) I've had many uniforms, a fast-food worker, a zoo employee, and even working at a car wash. Strange, I know. Drop me a note at jeremy@thehousefm.com if you have a fun dress code story. Have a great day and thanks for reading! |
| 10/18/2005 12:34:21 PM It is now set in stone...Major League Baseball Hall of Famer Johnny Bench will be on the show Monday morning! Yes, the real Johnny Bench, not just me being dumb. We're also getting ready for our interview with Leanna Creel who played "Torrie" on Saved by the Bell. If you've got questions for Leanna, drop me a line at brent@thehousefm.com. Here's who will be on the show soon: Paul Wright, Johnny Bench, Leanna Creel, Joy Williams, and whoever else we get! We'll have to see...if you have anyone you'd like to hear on the show, let me know. Holla! |
| 10/17/2005 12:36:18 PM Here we go again. Monday. First work day of the week. Tired eyes. Clumsy typing fingers. Incomplete sentences...Monday. I hope you had a great weekend. Mine was pretty good. I got to play some raquet ball with some friends. I didn't get hit. That's always a good day. I did hit my friend Danny...sorry. I almost hit my teammate Zak in the face. I'm glad I missed him. No one wants to walk around with their head caved in due to a raquet ball travelling at high speed....sheesh. Today I'm supposed to run 3 miles to begin training for a 10K run coming up November 19th. I've never run that far in my life. I'm pretty sure combined I've never run that far. We'll see what happens, I'm sure it will be quite good, quite good, and by quite good, I mean excruciating. |
| 10/14/2005 12:46:50 PM I was going to let Thomas my job shadow guy do my blog today...I forgot...till now. Now he's gone...why...why do these things happen? What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this? It's always weird to have a job shadow. It's interesting that someone just follows you around all day long to see what you do. I hope Thomas had fun today, with all the artists stopping by, the circus animals, the clowns, trick dogs....actually that would be really cool. Honestly, probably the most exciting part of the day for him was probably watching me eat a Salisbury Steak banquet frozen dinner...sheesh. |
| 10/13/2005 11:43:30 AM What rolls down stairs, alone or in pairs, and runs over you neighbor's dog? What fits on your back, is great for a snack? It's BLOG BLOG BLOG! Some times here in the DJ office, I quiver in fear of Shaun Michaels and his uncanny ability to give a soda can the "Perfect Crush". His commitment to excellence is frightening...we talked to David Crowder today, he's pretty awesome. We've got some other folks lined up to be on the show as well; Paul Wright, Joy Williams, Johnny Bench (that's right, THE Johnny Bench), Leanna Creel (Torrie from Saved by the Bell). All sorts of great people. If you ever have a suggestion of someone you'd like to see (hear) on the show, drop me a line brent@thehousefm.com, I'll see what I can do! |
| 10/11/2005 1:19:49 PM I just got back in from the career fair at Hutchins Auditorium. It was pretty cool telling students about radio. Some seemed interested...some seemed...like zombies, wandering through the place as if they were sleep-walking, clutching their papers, looking around at the booths TOTALLY not caring if they were there or not. I wanted to get up and shake a couple of them, just to get a reaction. Our table was also next the the guys from Grace Memorial Chapel. I suggested a new tag line for their business. "Grace Memorial Chapel, we put the 'fun' in funeral!" They didn't think that was such a great idea...guess that's why I'm a DJ, not a funeral director. |
| 10/10/2005 2:12:57 PM BIG INTERVIEW this week! David Crowder on the show Thusrsday Morning. I know we've inverviewed the guy before, but he's so good. I don't know what we're going to do to try to raise our level of excellence to match his. Then again, how hard is it to raise something off the floor? If you have questions you'd like for us to ask Dave, just drop me an email, brent@thehousefm.com. DO IT! DO IT NOW! Okay, I'll see you tomorrow. |
| 10/6/2005 2:04:30 PM I just finished signing a couple of cards for people here at the station. There's a lot of pressure to be the funniest signing. You'll see people concentrating for seconds to try to come up with something before finally scribbling the old "Best Wishes". Sad really...what you must do is come up with something that is relevant, topical, and something that reeks of personality. You can pretty much get away with anything as long as you say "Just Kidding!" afterwards. Try it, see what happens.* |

| 10/4/2005 2:35:23 PM I played a mean joke on Shaun today. Shaun loves pizza. He needs it, like the desert needs the rain. He loves it like Joanie loves Chachie. I had leftover pizza from Hideaway Pizza in Stillwater. It's great pizza. I had the "Big Country". I think there are about 27 different types of meat on the pizza....anyway, back to the joke. I put the empty box on the counter with the words "Free Pizza, have some" on the lid. When someone opened the box, I had written "Just kidding, your friend, Brent" on the inside of the empty box. I thought it was funny when Shaun went to get some "free pizza". Shaun did not. He came into the DJ office and proceeded to beat me with the box. Who doesn't want to see that?! |
| 10/3/2005 12:54:26 PM Monday...Monday, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways............................................................................................................ Yep, that's it. I'm kidding, I actually don't mind Mondays because I love my job. Yesterday was good. I went to Octoberfest with Marybeth. She had a bratwurst, and I enjoyed a GIGANTIC turkey leg. It was massive. It was so heavy I had to get a flat bed truck to haul it away from the concession stand. It was so big, it was like eating a baseball bat, a delicious, meaty, smoked baseball bat. There's something for you to gnaw on today. Peace out! |
| 9/30/2005 1:28:17 PM Today Jeremy filled in for me on the morning show. I was in Edmond last night sharing with the students at the University of Central Oklahoma. It seems weird to go back and speak to the students. Every time I see them, I think they keep getting younger. I'm sure it's not the fact that I'm getting older....if I just keep telling myself that, maybe I'll believe it. Where's my cane? |
| 9/29/2005 3:17:33 PM Janelle here.....thanks to Brent for letting me "speak out" on his blog. This morning was rollercoaster of a morning. I first got the "SOS" call from my daugher Lindsay regarding an assignment that was literally on two computers in two towns. Good grief! What happened to "save!, save! save!"? Upon hearing her plight, we asked for encouragement on the air, and boy did you come through!! She was greatly encouraged and embraced with the love of Christ as it should be in times like these. I know that it was only a minor glitch in today's scheme of things but it meant a lot to me that you would care so much about what is going on in my personal life. So thanks to all of you who called and offered a word of encouragement. In other news....today is the Perry High School Homecoming parade where each class is going to have float with their own outhouse on it. That is, if it hasn't gotten stolen by other class members. Many people have asked me why outhouses? I honestly don't know....except to say "why not?" They are big, bulky and boasting with "flavor". We will see who the champion of the outhouses will be! There will be more stories about this I am sure.....stay tuned. |
| 9/28/2005 2:36:01 PM One of our interns just asked me who 'Fred Sanford' is. |
| 9/28/2005 2:19:35 PM Honestly...who reads these things? Seriously...who? Kendall Payne is coming in in a few minutes, and my desk still looks like a garbage truck backed up and dropped everything it had. I've got some hot sauce on there, a megaphone with no batteries, about 3 coffee mugs, a bazillion sheets of paper (some dating back to 1987, I think), big autographed poster of Stellar Kart, a frisbee, toy Yoda, empty pen holder, phone book, bags of coffee, empty Jelly Belly dispenser, Sting (the wrestler) bobble-head, a football, and a pink flamingo Christmas tree ornament, and some other stuff...good grief...I'm Fred Sanford. |
| 9/27/2005 3:15:36 PM Morning Show Blog, September 27, 2005, Tuesday...feels like a Monday. It feels worse than a Monday, like some sort of second Monday...what kind of a messed up week would that be? It's probably due to the fact that I woke up this morning at 2:30. My eyes felt like they were on fire. Seriously, I felt like someone had opened some glass bottles with those metal caps, with my eyeballs. It felt like while I was sleeping, a group of tiny tiny tribesmen were hurling spears into my corneas. Let's see, how many more can I come up with...it felt like people with very small feet were ballroom dancing on my retinas...while they were wearing stilettos. They hurt like someone had just finished grilling a delicious meal on a charcoal grill, and then used my eyeballs to put out the fire! Okay that'll do. I'm okay now. Stop by tomorrow and I'll promise to waste more of your time. Later. |
| 9/26/2005 1:49:18 PM Did you know that today is Monday? How exciting...lots of stuff to do, not enough time to do it! It seems like it never slows down...we've got a ton of stuff going on. This afternoon I've been working on some scripts with Shaun for some ticket giveaways we'll be doing soon. If you're a fan of John Reuben, Kutless, David Crowder Band, Relient K, Joy Williams, TAIT, Nicole C. Mullin, Bebo Norman, and others, you will be happy. See what I mean?! It's wild around here. I guess if I wanted a normal job, I'd go and do something boring, like...hat..tester...a guy that tries on hats all day long. How many times could I say, "If my head wasn't so big this one would fit." "If my head wasn't so big this one would fit." "If my head wasn't so big this one would fit." You get the picture. I'll take the House, thank you very much. Buh bye for now. |
| 9/22/2005 11:16:50 AM Well today has certainly been interesting. Do you ever have one of those days where everyone seems to be moving in fast motion, except for you. Even as I type this, I'm having a hard time focusing....I just told Shaun and Jeremy that I'm tired today...Shaun's reply? "I'm tired of you"...great. I should have some pictures of last night's See You at the Party in Pawhuska posted soon. I left my camera at home today. I guess I forgot it. That's pretty easy to do when you're working on about 4.5 hours of sleep. I'm just glad I remembered my coffee today, or I'd probably have a serious case of the shakes. |
| 9/20/2005 10:30:27 AM Alright...everyone seemed really excited that Janelle got to do her own blog. That can mean one of two things. 1) People enjoy hearing from Janelle, or 2) People are tired of hearing from me. Maybe a combination...it's okay, I'm cool with it....went to see "Just Like Heaven" last night. It was a pretty good movie. It was nice go out on a date with my wife. Plus, you really can't beat theater popcorn. mmmmm popcorn.....See You at the Pole is tomorrow. It's going to be an exciting day! Tune in...be encouraged. That's all for now. Peace out. |
| 9/19/2005 2:13:43 PM Ok, well then, here we go. Here's my chance to give you a sneek peek about what goes on here. Well, for all of you who are wondering if Brent McCoy is as crazy off the air as he is on the air.....the answer is YES!! Even crazier if you can imagine. But wait, imaging that could hurt your head so don't do that. Many don't understand what I must endure by being the co-host of the morning show, although Jerry in Perry does. He told me so on Saturday. And Mark in Perry also agrees that Brent definitely needs to channelled into something perhaps more .....shall I say productive. But until that happens, he is destined to impart all of his craziness upon you the listener and upon me the co-host. I guess life could be worse........yes, I know it could be. If you enjoy the fact that I am adding my "three-cents" worth to Brent's blog then send him an email and tell him to let me do it more often. (I would say send me an email except he wouldn't believe me, thinking I was making the whole 233 emails up and then we would be back to square one, which is me without a chance to blog, blog, blog). Yeah, well, enough for now. I don't want to overstay my welcome here and I have to save something for next time don't I? Catch you on the flip side.........J to the Kizzay!! |
| 9/19/2005 1:33:25 PM ARGH! I'm pretty upset with myself today...It's Talk Like a Pirate Day" and I didn't even celebrate on the air! What kind of a morning show host am I? Wait! Don't answer that. Had the big 10 year Picher-Cardin High School reunion this past weekend. That was a lot of fun. Got to meet several of my old classmates' spouses and kids. That's wild! We've already started on plans for the 15 year reunion...and by 'we' I mean everyone...but me...Seacrest out. By the way, Janelle is going to enter the next blog...just for funzies... Seacrest out...again. |
| 9/15/2005 10:29:01 AM Wow...pretty loud storms last night. A couple of times the thunder actually woke me up. That's messed up. You know, when you think about it, an 'alarm' isn't the best thing to wake up to either. Usually an 'alarm' is in place to warn you when something bad is happening. Burglar alarm, fire alarm, tornado alarm...Janelle alarm...anyway, you get the picture. Maybe there's a better way to wake up...I'll see what I can do. Thanks for reading. |
| 9/13/2005 1:34:49 PM Okay...what's going on today...Janelle asked me if this blog thing was something that I did once a week. It's not, I'm supposed to do it whenever I feel like putting my thoughts down onto the screen. This past weekend I bought some camouflage pants. I'm wearing them right now...I like them. I may wear them outside later. Seacrest out. |
| 9/8/2005 1:16:01 PM Just finished the Lunch Break with Tony. Good times. Getting ready for tomorrow's show, Mark Stuart with Audio Adrenaline will be on. That's pretty cool. Elida from Manhattan, KS, signed the guest book and sent us some instructions on how to make homemade arch supports. FANTASTIC! This looks great. If we make these, we'll be like Martha Stewart, only not criminals. Right now, Shaun Michaels keeps clicking his pen to the music...it's terribly annoying...I want him to stop... |
| 9/7/2005 2:02:38 PM I started reading David Crowder's book "Praise Habit" last night. Crowder is a funny guy. He's also got some serious points too. The main focus of the book (so far) is getting into the habit of praising God all the time. It's kind of interesting that I just picked up the book this week to start reading it. I hope to finish it soon and let you know how it is. Hopefully, you are extremely impressed that I'm reading a book. You may be just as surprised as Tony Weir was when I mentioned it. His response? "You can read?!" Thanks, Tony. |
| 9/2/2005 12:24:34 PM I'm a little sore today. My wife Marybeth taught a cardio kickboxing class at the YMCA last night. I took it, I kicked, I punched, I felt terribly uncoordinated. I'll be okay though...I think Chipmunk Day went well today. If you missed it, you'll be able to check out some audio from the show by the end of the day today, pretty funny stuff. There's a lot of stuff to check out on our website. I hope you take time to look, listen, and drop me an email to share your opinions. I also hope you'll check out the Hurricane Katrina Relief section. There are plenty of opportunities to help out. I hope you have a great Labor Day weekend. Be sure you listen Monday morning if you get the chance...I have a feeling a 'famous' funnyman might be stopping by (no I'm not talking about me). Peace out. |
| 8/31/2005 3:01:10 PM Ah, the web log. Or blog if you will. It was a strange day today. I'm trying to find a balance between doing a show that's funny, compelling, (insert synonym of 'exciting' here), etc, and trying to figure out what to do to help victims of Hurricane Katrina. Here at the House, we're looking at ways to help, so details will be on the way soon, stay tuned. In the mean time, I've written a great parody of the song "Take Me" by Hawk Nelson. It should be pretty funny, now if I can just get in the mood to record it. Between the gas prices being at $1000 dollars a gallon for no real reason, and new information on the hurricane victims coming in every hour, it's hard to get into a funny mood. Good thing I'm resilient...did I use that word correctly? |
| 8/30/2005 11:08:46 AM Welcome back, your dreams were your ticket out! It's good to be back in the House! Thanks to Shaun and Tony filling in for me. Good times. I have to tell you about my father-in-law. Funny dude. We were at a quick stop when we walked up on a conversation in which someone said, "I'm really smart, and that's why I got an A in psychology!" Without missing a beat, my father-in-law said, "Then why are you working here?" Stunned silence...That was kind of mean, but kind of funny at the same time. Wowzers...anyway have a great Monday...I mean Tuesday. |
| 8/29/2005 12:12:37 PM Hi, this is Tony Weir. (you know when you say "Brent's not on now, who's this?" I'm the answer.) I got up early and sat in for Brent today. He is gone. No one knows where. Perhaps talking with small woodland creatures. I spent the morning answering the phone "no, this is not Brent" and then saying "he's not here today" and then the other person saying "oh... well.... I'll talk to him another time." Guess I don't have all the answers Brent does. He is a really smart guy. Most people don't realize what an intellectual he is. The next time you talk to him, ask what book he just finished reading, or his thoughts on Ocams Razor or other philosophies. Incredible is his mind. Well, Brent will be back tomorrow, hopefully with great stories of where he has been. I'm sure we will all be marvelled. I miss Brent... just like you do. |
| 8/24/2005 1:59:12 PM People in London talk funny. I was just checking out some phrases from Cockney English. We'll probably talk about some of them tomorrow. Here's a sneak peak, if I were to say the phrase: Use your loaf! I cannot Adam and Eve my mince pies! Your Barnet is covering up your boat race! Get in your jam jar, go home and use your Gregories and come back looking good. Here is the American English translation: Use your head! I cannot believe my eyes. Your hair is covering up your face. Get in your car, go home and use your glasses and come back looking good. See! Strange! Anyway, that's all for now. Peace out! |
| 8/23/2005 1:42:56 PM It's only Tuesday...yet it feels like it should be at least Thursday! I was just sitting in on a conversation about fashion with Rachel the Intern and Shaun Michaels. Brilliant! Shaun is talking about fashion while wearing a pair of military green denim shorts and a faded out "Asteroids" t-shirt complete with red Atari logo on the back! Come on, man! Meanwhile, I'm looking quite fetching in my worn jeans and my Karate Kid t-shirt. That's why we're on the radio and not the television. My man Scott sent me a fun game to play on line. It's for everyone who loves cats as much as I do. You wanna play? Drop me an email brent@thehousefm.com. Peace out! |
| 8/18/2005 9:45:37 AM Okay, this will be my last entry for the day...unless something REALLY cool happens, like if someone were to show up here at the station and give me a machine that turned gravel into diamonds (Dustin Diamonds). Next Thursday, Matthew West will be joining us on the show to talk about his new CD "History". Hopefully we'll have some copies to give away as well. Of course, if you don't win, you can always go buy it. I've got Matthew's first CD "Happy". It's pretty cool. Thanks to Crystal in Perry and Scott in Illinois for giving me some blogging advice! Thanks. |
| 8/18/2005 8:30:57 AM Making up for lost time, it's time for another entry. Whlie John Reuben's song Nuissance was playing, Janelle and I were clapping to the beat...I'm pretty sure I have more rhythm than her. |
| 8/18/2005 7:33:08 AM WOW! Has it really been an hour since I updated this blog?! We're getting ready to talk to Brian from Casting Pearls. I hope I don't blow it and say something dumb like I normally do. Stay tuned, update coming soon! |
| 8/18/2005 6:34:26 AM Wow! Has is really been a week since I updated this blog?! No wonder Crystal in Perry is so upset with me! It's been wild in Brentland. Linining up interviews, trying to find fun stuff to talk about with you, tracking down all the people I graduated H.S. with. CRAZY! I wouldn't have it any other way though. Maybe to make up for my lack of blogging, I'll try to do a bunch of them today! Deal? Okay. Look for my next post soon. |
| 8/11/2005 1:58:34 PM ARGH! No that's not a pirate's call to sevice! It's me, screaming like a baby because my lunch of Slow Cooked Rich and Hearty Vegetable Beef Soup! Why ruin a good bowl of soup by stickin' stupid peas in it!? The texture, the taste...the green-ness, it's all bad, bad! Now I'm getting ready to go home, I'll be hungry in the middle of the day, my whole eating schedule is off now! Stupid peas! I'm okay. I'll go home and start cramming junk food down my pie hole to make it all better....hmmm, I feel better already! Buh bye. |
| 8/10/2005 12:48:27 PM Whew! I just put the finishing touches on another piece of radio brilliance. I think it's another great bit that we'll use either on Thursday or Friday. I think it's pretty funny, I just played it for Jeremy Louis...dude laughed like he was watching a Chris Farley movie. I guess that's good, as long he was laughing with me and not at me...John Reuben's on the show tomorrow...that's pretty cool. I've been a fan since back in the day when he first started...I think it was 1946...anyway, tune it tomorrow for the fun. Peace out. |
| 8/8/2005 12:21:32 PM I hope you had a good weekend. I did, I got to visit with my parents. They are pretty awesome. My dad helped me remove a pole from my yard...and by remove, I mean dig till we get to near the bottom, bust up the concrete with a shovel and pieces of rebar, and twist so much that Chubby Checker would have been proud! The best part of that experience was when Don the mail man walked by and yelled "Heave Ho", yet he offered no help. Thanks for the help, Don...thanks for the help... |
