  • Enough with the Clowns

    Enough with the Clowns

    Hey you, in the clown suit and mask – your 15 minutes are over. You aren’t being funny or clever. You are being a jerkwad. I admit, I thought it was funny for about about 15 minutes, but it is time to move on. I heard about clowns threatening to steal kids yesterday from a school. […]

  • October should be your favorite month

    October is the best month. Other months are garbage compared to October. No month can even challenge October. March? Too cold (in most places). September? Too hot (in most places). November?

  • ESPN does a fun thing: His & Hers spoofs ‘Anchorman’

    It started with the His & Hers podcast for me. I’ve been listening the Michael Smith and Jemele Hill for a few years now, so when ESPN2 flipped Numbers Never Lie to a daily-hour of His & Hers, I was stoked. Smith and Hill mix hip-hop, pop-culture, current events, and sports perfectly. Their chemistry is […]

    9/11 fifteen years later

    September 11, 2001 was one of those days where you always remember what you were doing when the news broke. Our contributors recant their stories. I’ll never forget that day, driving from Ames to work in Ankeny, listening to Mancow’s morning madhouse on the radio. That really shows my age and douche level back in […]
