A study shows that it is bad for toddlers to be potty-trained before the age of 3.
- Many parents are against it for a couple reasons: #1 and #2.
- I guess they think kids need to be Pampered… at least until they get to pre-school.
- The Obama Administration backs the study, calling it “Diaper Change You Can Believe In!”
Apple claims that Samsung stole their iPhone technology.
- They plan to get royalties using the new App “iSue”.

P.S. Good luck to new “Big Daddy’s” restaurant on Victor Parkway between 7 & 8 Mile just off I-275! Delicious!
In honor the of the Olympic games… Jackie and the ever-popular former “Purtan’s Person” Tom DeLisle join me to run rings around a variety of subjects. From Fred Willard giving more than “two thumbs up” at an adult movie theater and why ANYONE would take that risk, to some interesting speculation on the timing of Joe Paterno’s death (think of the Penn State Football field as a sort of “Grassy Knoll”) it’s all here.
Throw in our discussion about the world’s fattest woman losing 100 pounds by having sex 7 times a day (which would make a popular Olympic event!) and you’ve got a Podcast that will “weigh on your mind” long after it’s over!
So grab a cold 32 ounce soda pop (unless you live in NYC), sit back, and let the games begin!
Have a great weekend!

Podcast #51 (41:24)
John Denby, a hotel owner in England, is replacing all of the Gideon Bibles normally found in each guest room with a copy of the steamy “Mommy Porn” novel, “Fifty Shades of Grey”. He says most people are “bored” with the Bible.
- Holy Moses!
- And he thought he had a problem with people stealing towels!
- He’s going to have to use some chains to attach the books to the night stand! Come to think of it, those chains might come in handy!
- When the local clergy heard about it they turned “Fifty Shades of Red”.
Today is National Aunt & Uncle Day!
- Remember… if it wasn’t for your Grandparents, would your Aunt or Uncle be your Aunt or Uncle? So remember your Grandparents on Aunt and Uncle Day!
Taylor Swift denies that she and Arnold Schwarzeneger’s son Patrick are dating.
- Taylor’s fans know it’s not true since she’d never be able to write a song lyric that rhymed with Schwarzenegger!
- Isn’t it usually the Schwarzenegger who’s doing the denying about dating someone?
Lady Gaga is being sued for $10 million by the makers of Bratz Dolls, who claim she deliberately delayed the release of a doll based on her.
- Lady Gaga apologized for procrastinating, but added that it’s not her fault since she was “Born This Way”.
- When it finally does come out, you’ll find the doll in the toy aisle, and the miniature meat dress in the refrigerator section next to the bologna.
Rumor has it that Kanye West may be about to propose to Kim Kardashian.
- But he still maintains that Beyonce’s wedding video was the greatest video of all time!
- Their first dance will reportedly be to that romantic classic, “I Love Big Butts And I Cannot Lie!”
The man who brought popularity to the in-home treadmill died at age 96.
- His wife says he was always on the run but never seemed to get anywhere.
- I planned to honor his passing with a half-hour run today, but then I realized the motor on my treadmill died two years ago.
A company in Brazil announced it’s 4th “Condom Testing Contest”. Participants are asked to try the “Prudence” condom and share their experiences on the companies website. The guys who write the best 100 stories get free condoms for a year.
- I hope the judges are honest or somebody could end up getting screwed!
- They better hope Charlie Sheen doesn’t write something good. A year of free condoms for him could put them out of business.
On this day in 1991 Paul Reubens (aka Pee Wee Herman) was arrested for exposting himself twice while watching a movie at a theater in Florida.
- If Fred Willard had waited just one week longer he could have said he was celebrating Pee Wee’s anniversary!
Have a great day and I’ll see you back here with a brand new Podcast Friday!

THIS JUST IN… North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is married! He had recently been photographed at public appearances with a pop star whose hits included the song, “Excellent Horse-Like Lady”. Now, apparently the two have secretly wed.
- But don’t expect to hear much about the wedding night because as they say, “What happens in Pyongyang, Stay’s In Pyongyang”.
Yesterday, we posted the story about Fred Willard - the incredibly gifted comedic actor - who was arrested last week for allegedly exposing himself in a LA adult theater. It was a hard story to do because I have a semi-personal relationship with Fred.
He was on the air with us a few years back when he was in town making a movie, and we ended up going to a Tiger Game. He was funny - and like a lot of comedians - very quiet. We talked about his role on “Fernwood Tonight” and his parts in the great Christopher Guest movies, “Waiting For Guffman” and “Best In Show”. He even volunteered to come out to the Royal Oak Music Theater, during my “Comedy Night Out”, and did 10 minutes of very funny stuff on stage. All in all, he seemed like a great guy, and, I’m sure he still is.
But regarding his arrest… as they say, “Everybody has to have a hobby”.
Politicians are concerned over new figures showing that nearly half of US high school students say they’re having sex, but a growing number don’t want to use condoms.
- What’s wrong with the teachers? If they’re going to do it with ‘em, at least they should teach them safe sex!
- Remember the good old days when “protection” came in the form of a Nun saying “Keep your hands to yourself!” (But come to think about it… that was a sin too!)
The Jim Henson Company will stop providing toys for Chick-fil-A’s kid’s meals because of the company’s anti-gay marriage stance.
- Apparently Bert and Ernie pull more strings at that company than the puppeteers.
- Unfortunetely Kermit’s efforts to shut down “Fred’s Frog Legs Bar & Grill” haven’t gotten much support.
According to a new survey, 52 percent of respondents say they’ll spend less time on Facebook in the next year.
- They plan to cut back by only posting what they had for breakfast and lunch, and NOT what they had for dinner.
- Mark Zuckerberg immediately created a page for the survey and “Unliked” it.
More than 1,000 turtles escaped from a farm in Georgia.
- And you thought OJ took the cops on a “Slow Speed Chase”.
- The owner of the farm says he thought the turtles were happy and is shell-shocked by the news.
Sherman Hemsley, star of “The Jeffersons”, has “moved on up” at age 74.
On this day in 1871 William Schneider invented the Merry-Go-Round in Davenport, Iowa.

Have a great day and I’ll see you back here Thursday!
