"Baby It's (Not Nearly As) Cold Outside!"

With today's temp expected to hit a beach-like 22 above zero, most kids headed back to school and it's back to business as usual for the rest of us.

- To give you an idea of just how cold it was, even Edward Snowden's pipes froze, making it impossible for him to leak anything.

*****

NJ Governor Chris Christie is in hot water after emails revealed that his staffers shut down three lanes of the George Washington Bridge to snarl traffic to embarrass a local mayor who refused to support him in the election. Christie denies any knowledge of the plan which caused thousands of motorists - including first responders - to be delayed by hours...but said that heads will roll. 

- And knowing Christie, they'll be rolled in powdered sugar and topped with hot fudge. 

- Christie added that he doesn't believe the incident will hurt his chances for a presidential run in 2016, saying "We'll cross that bridge when we come to it." 

*****

An Oklahoma man died after his stepson gave him "an atomic wedgie" by pulling the man's underpants up his back and over his head. He was strangled by the waste band. Police say it's the first time they've ever heard of someone being killed by their own underpants. 

- So apparently Paris Hilton, Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan have a method to their madness. 

- Police were able to pinpoint the day he died by reading the "Friday" written in magic marker on the waistband. 

*****

A new report by the Centers for Disease control says that the rate of new gonorrhea and syphilis cases jumped by 14 and 11 percent respectively.

- Looks like even more people are trying to "Keep Up With The Kardashians"!

*****

NY Knicks guard JR Smith was fined 50 thousand bucks for twice trying to untie the shoelaces of opponents to make them trip during recent NBA games. 

- I guess the old itching powder in the jock strap just wasn't effective enough.  

****

A new study reveals that the vast majority of Super Bowl ads are not effective. 

- Researchers noted that the ads for beer are particularly ineffective because the people watching them are too drunk to remember what they just saw. 

*****

The family of Honey Boo Boo suffered only minor injuries in what looked like a major traffic accident on Wednesday. 

- Doctor's say family members complained of bruises while Honey told nurses she only had a Boo-Boo.

"Happy Birthday Mr. Maniacal Dictator..."

Looking to escape the frigid temps? Why not a book a warm weather getaway to the South Pole! While the overnight high in Detroit last night was minus 8, the thermometer at McMurdo Sound, Antarctica registered 33 above zero. With many kids still home from school because of the bitter cold, I thought we'd offer up a few stories that may not warm your hands, but will certainly warm your heart...

*****

Before the players hit the court for his controversial US/North Korean Basketball Game in Pyongyang, Dennis Rodman took the opportunity to sing Happy Birthday to his "best friend" Kim Jong Un. 

- Un attended the game with his wife and several other North Korean government officials that he hasn't killed yet. 

- It was just like the time Marilyn Monroe famously sang to John F. Kennedy, except she looked way better in her dress than Dennis did in his. 

Kim's B-Day With Kids.jpeg

*****

Months after his conviction of failing to report almost $200,000 to the IRS, Kwame's daddy Bernard Kilpatrick has reported to a low security federal prison in Texas to serve out his 15 month sentence. 

- I always wished I had a son so we could wear matching outfits! 

- Guards say Bernard already tried trading his Lipitor pills for cigarettes, but none of the other prisoners were interested. 

*****

A judge in Spain charged King Juan Carlos's very wealthy daughter, Princess Christina, with tax fraud and money laundering. 

- Her lawyers say the charges are absurd since everyone knows Royal Family members NEVER do their own laundry! 

- Who does the Princess think she is? The Queen?

*****

Ralph Lauren's niece was arraigned yesterday for being "dangerously drunk" on a NY bound plane that was forced to land in Ireland. 

- The Pilots of the plane will also be charged with "Incredible Stupidity" for dropping off a dangerously drunk woman in Ireland. 

*****

Tim Tebow claims he worked out 10 hours a day, 6 days a week in order to become a better quarterback. 

- He should have passed on the workouts...and just practiced passing. 

- Tebow may not be able to throw, but thanks to those Zumba classed, he can really shake his money-maker! 

*****

The Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas featured a "Smart" toothbrush that provides users with details on their brushing habits. 

- Great...Now the NSA can gather more of our personal information from a "mole-ar" in our mouths. 

- The "Dentists for Equality In Brushing" is already accusing people who use Whitening Toothpaste of being racists.

Have a great and hopefully warmer day and I'll see you back here tomorrow!

It's Too Cold To Do Anything But Try To Stay Warm...

It's Too Cold To Do Anything But Try To Stay Warm...

Having grown up in Buffalo, I thought I was used to this kind of stuff. WRONG. After venturing outside to check the mail, I came back in the house and stuck my head in the freezer just to warm up! Thus, I am shutting down the blog today and hanging out a sign that reads "GONE ICE FISHIN'". 

Stay safe, stay warm, take a bath in some nice hot Chicken Soup and I'll see you back here tomorrow!

How Low Can It Go???

How Low Can It Go???

The major snowfall may be behind us...but things are about to get a lot worse. The "Polar Vortex" (which I thought was the name of a Keanu Reeves Movie) will be sending actual temperatures below zero and wind chills into the -20 and -30 below range. Things haven't been this cold since Jay Leno was informed he was being replaced by Jimmy Fallon!

The snow and the deep freeze caused well over 800 school closings. But a lot of businesses were affected as well. Here's a partial list...

- "Bert's Beer Bar" is closed. A note on the door reads: "No patrons can get plowed until our parking lot does".

-  "Steve 'n Sal's Sip 'n Strip" is open...but lap dances are delayed two-hours while the girls implants thaw out. (It's always fun until somebody loses an eye!)

-  The 24-Hour-Stop 'n Shop will be closed for the next 48 hours.

- Little Caesar's will be serving pizzas, but they will be temporarily sold under the name "Not-So-Hot 'n Ready".

- Anyone caught attempting to "write their name in the snow" will be ticketed and then immediately taken to the emergency room. 

- The organizers of tonight's "Global Warming Fundraising Gala" are asking all attendees to drive SUV's to the event to avoid getting stuck in a ditch. 

- The Federal Prison in Milan will be open for it's regular Monthly visiting day, but asks all visitors to sneak in electric blankets with their other contraband, so prisoners can de-ice their shivs.

The Purtan Podcasts: 105 Ways to "Chill" This Weekend...

The Purtan Podcasts: 105 Ways to "Chill" This Weekend...

Welcome to the weekend and the day I usually put up a new Podcast! I had booked a very special guest for this week's edition - Al Gore - to get more of his insights on Global Warming. Unfortunately, Al's flight was cancelled due to blizzard conditions. It ended up working out for the best since my microphone is suffering from shrinkage and is temporarily out of commission. 

Luckily, I still have what my Dad used to call "the old ace in the hole"... That's right, 105 previously recorded Podcasts that are already up here at dickpurtan.com. Just click the "PODCAST" button at the top of this page and scroll thru until you find something that catches your interest. The best part is you won't catch a cold in the process since you can do it all from the cozy comfort of your couch!

So grab a mug of something warm, put on your electric socks and take your pick of Podcast #1 to #105! 

-Dick

And by the way...the weather may continue to be frightful, but we'll have a Brand New Podcast (#106) up to warm your ears next Friday! As the guy from the Men's Warehouse used to say... "I Guarantee It!" 



It's A Green (and) White Out!

DontonioRose:Trophy .jpeg

Kudos to Michigan State for an impressive victory over Stanford in the Rose Bowl last night! The 24 to 20 Victory for the Spartans was especially sweet considering it's been 26 years since their last Rose Bowl appearance. And MSU's win...along with Nebraska's win over Georgia salvaged this years tarnished Big Ten reputation. Of course Ohio State can add to that if they beat Clemson in their game Friday night. But, and no offense Buckeyes, I'll stick with the two wins we've got! 

*****

For the 6th consecutive year, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were named America's most admired man and woman. 

- The poll was taken in the the MSNBC cafeteria. 

*****

A new Pew Research Poll shows that one-third of Americans don't believe in Evolution. 

- Turns out a lot more people actually believed in Evolution until they took a look at the guys from "Duck Dynasty". 

*****

New research out of Canada claims that sex is better exercise than walking. 

- And best of all, you don't have to wear $100 athletic shoes during the workout! 

*****

Some people in Denver spent New Year's Eve in line outside marijuana dispensaries so they could be among the first to buy recreational pot, which became legal at Midnight. 

- They've always called Denver the "Mile High City"...but now it's official.  

- So now in Colorado, you won't have to spend time in the joint if you get caught smoking one. 

One guy in line said he couldn't remember being so excited. Then again, he couldn't remember his name or address either. 

*****

Some fans are complaining that in her new Las Vegas show, Britney Spear's well-defined abs are actually painted on. 

- On the bright side, at least this time she's decided to wear underwear!

I hope it's been a good year for you...unlike the Lions and Coach Jim Schwartz, who got the ax yesterday. (Well look at it this way Jim, you weren't  the one who dropped all those passes!)

Speaking of dropping balls...No matter where you are for the big moment tonight at Midnight, I wish you all a Safe, Healthy and Happy New Year...

And to the Spartans: GOOD LUCK IN THE ROSE BOWL! 

See you back here in 2014! 

 

Going...Going...Almost Gone!

box of chocolates.jpeg

Seriously, it occurred to me that with a whopping 105 Podcasts already up on the site, there were plenty of "Podisodes" for you to choose from in the week ahead! Just click on the PODCASTS button on the top of this page, and pick one of your favorites, or use what I call the "Whitman Sampler" method: Pick one that looks good to you and give it a shot. If you don't like the first one you pick, just "spit it out" and try another one! To paraphrase  Forrest Gump, "Podcasts are like a box of chocolates... You never know what you're gonna get!" 

Have a great last weekend of 2013...and I'll see you back here Monday!

*****

NORAD, the North American Aerospace Defense Command, reported receiving a record 14,000 calls and emails from Children wanting to know exactly where Santa was at any given moment. 

- Meanwhile over a million kids cut to the chase and just called the NSA. 

*****

In his annual Christmas message from the Vatican, Pope Francis invited even Atheists to join in the fight for a "better world". 

- The Atheists didn't believe Him and the Agnostics wanted proof that he really said it. 

*****

The White House encouraged parents to use Christmas "Family Time" to talk to their college age kids about Obamacare.

- Most the kids are "all in"...if the plan includes an Xbox. 

*****

Harvard scientists believe they've found a protein that can reverse the aging process by as much as 40 years. 

- So someday soon, Cher will actually be "Younger" than her nose, lips and cheekbones!

- If handled correctly, this means we could actually live in a World where Miley Cyrus won't even be born for another twenty years. 

*****

A new report suggest that regular exercise reduces the risk of hearing loss. 

- I SAID...A NEW REPORT SUGGESTS THAT REGULAR EXERCISE REDUCES THE RISK OF HEARING LOSS! 

- So now you can tell people at the gym you're working on your gluts, your abs and your lobes. 

- Or you could just take that new anti-aging protein and have the hearing you had 40 years ago!

*****

Babycenter.com announced that "Jackson" is the top baby name for boys in 2013. 

- "Frankenmuth" came in dead last.

Christmas Eve 2013

 

sleigh house.jpeg

"And so I'm offering this simple phrase, 
To kids from one to ninety-two, 
Although its been said many times, many ways, 
Merry Christmas to you..."

 

From the entire Purtan family to you and yours...

Have a Safe, Happy & Healthy Christmas Eve!

"Twas Target's Nightmare Before Christmas..."

Well it's Christmas Eve-Eve, and If you're anything like me, you're busy "wrapping" like Eminem, "stuffing your stockings" like Kirstie Alley, and still trying to find time to get to the mall for that last minute whatchamacallit you forgot for that special someone on your list! To that end, today I'll be offering up a scaled down version of the regular blog...but worry not, as the expression goes, "Good Things Come In Small Web Posts"! 

*****

naked couple.jpeg

Target's nightmare before Christmas has gotten worse as the black market is now being flooded with bogus credit cards linked to millions of account numbers stolen from their customers. 

- They've narrowed down their list of suspects to the NSA. 

- Experts say women should be the one to check their credit card statements for unusual purchases because lets face it, men like me have absolutely no idea what gifts my wife and I are giving people for Christmas. 

- Speaking of giving...based on yesterday's game, not to mention most of the season, The Lions have proven once again that they're great  at "giving things away".

*****

Churches are using GPS trackers to keep track of the baby Jesus' that are stolen from nativity scenes. 

- In the old days, people just read the Bible to find God. 

*****

During his annual Christmas speech the Pope admonished members of the Vatican to stop gossiping and get back to work. 

- So I guess the Pope is just like any other boss...except that he doesn't wear pants. 

*****

On a personal note... Gail and I took our youngest grandchild, soon-to-be-two-year-old Brayden and his Mom and Dad Brad and Julie, to "Dinner With Santa" at Macy's last week. In addition to the Man in the Big Red Suit, they had Mrs. Claus, three "Christmas Carols" and a "Sprite". When Brayden sat on Santa's lap, it reminded me of my own childhood when my parents told me there was no Santa Claus. I cried like a baby. Of course I was 18 at the time...

- Have a great day and I'll see you back here tomorrow, Christmas Eve!

Forget "Christmas Carol"...We've Got "Matinee Mindy"!

Click here to download Podcast!

Welcome to the last weekend before Christmas! In this, Podcast #105, we welcome "Matinee Mindy" back to the table for a much requested "Part 2" visit. As you probably know, Mindy was Tom Ryan's sidekick for many years at WOMC. Well today she's back...and she's looking for two things: A husband and a job!

Unknown.jpeg

Mindy, who's never been married, regales us with more stories of the multitude of "First Dates" she's been on - largely arranged by her mother. Not to imply that her mother isn't a good matchmaker, but if she started an online dating website it would probably be called eHeCouldn'tBeMoreOfALoser.com.

Among the guys Mindy's been out with:

- A guy who took her to a Tiger game in 100 degree heat and in 9-Innings never offered to buy her so much as a bottle of water.

- The man who insisted on keeping their date despite the fact that he had full-on pneumonia. He took her to his "favorite seafood restaurant" and then announced that he hated seafood. 

- And a Movie-Date debacle involving a guy with an unhealthy hatred of Popcorn. 

Mindy also explains why she NEVER eats on dates, why her voice is so hoarse, and how only one of the 19 Program Directors she worked for at WOMC actually liked her on the air. 

She, Jackie and I also talk about accidentally "hiding" things from ourselves. (I'm still looking for a Christmas gift I got my wife Gail two years ago and stashed in a "secret place"). Speaking of Gail, I'll tell you how she and I played an instrumental role in Tom Ryan marrying his longtime wife Joan (Let's just say Joan didn't take our advice...)

I'll also reveal one of Tom's favorite songs - that station management only allowed he and Mindy to play ONE TIME each year...despite the fact that it had been a #1 Hit!

Finally, Jackie will tell us about a new word she learned that describes the feeling people get in their stomach when they even think about the person they're crazy about. (Let's just say you haven't lived until you've been "Twitterpated"). 

So stop Decking the Halls for a few minutes and tune-in to Podcast #105! BTW...if you're looking for a great gift idea for Mindy, a job would be perfect! 

Have a great weekend and I'll see you back here Monday with some special Pre-Christmas cheer!

- This may explain why she picked Miley Cyrus as one of the "Ten Most Fascinating People of The Year".

Podcast #104: "Blind (Deaf & Dumb) Dates With Matinee Mindy!"

Click here to download Podcast

Welcome to the weekend and Podcast #104...a rather appropriate number as today I welcome one of my longtime co-workers from WOMC (104.3) to the Dining Room Table... the one, the only "Matinee Mindy". 

Dad Jackie & Mindy.JPG

Mindy worked as Tom Ryan's producer and sidekick for more than 20 years which kept her so busy, she never had time to get married. She did date a lot - or should I say she went out on a lot of "First Dates".  Most were arranged by her mom (Mother Markowitz) and most of them were hilarious Titanic-esque Disasters. 

She tells us about the guy who drove her 80 miles per hour down the freeway - backwards, the one who asked her to go to Meijer at midnight so he could buy a razor, to shave his legs, and another date who stood her up but had a very good reason: He was in jail at the time they were supposed to meet. (The Octomom has had better luck with guys than Mindy).

There's also some radio gossip mixed in...

Just before we recorded, Mindy, Jackie and I had attended a Christmas luncheon with some of the old gang from our days at WOMC. Not everyone could make it (Quite possibly because not everyone was invited. You'll have to listen to find out the who's and whys!) 

We'll also tell you who was "let go" by station management while on maternity leave. (I guess the station figured since the baby was a girl, a "pink slip" would make an appropriate gift), how I found out that Drew & Mike were on their way out months before the ax fell, and Mindy shares the story of some high-level information she stumbled upon regarding ME that she kept from Tom Ryan for a very long week. 

And just in time for the holidays, we'll tell you about the new "cache" associated with retro "flip phones" that makes them iCooler than the latest iPhone. 

So be caller number ten right now... No wait, we're not on the radio anymore! Just click on the link above or below and treat yourself to a Matinee - Mindy that is - in Podcast #104. 

Have a great weekend and I'll see you back here Monday!
