Lent: No Smokin', No Cussin', Know Jesus...

Woooo! We're less than 46 days from Easter. You know that means, right kids? Yeah, it's time to get Cadburry Crème Eggs at Walmart! Good thing I didn't give up chocolate for lent huh?

But, I am sacrificing for lent. I gave up cussing. And, my good friend and co-host Matt-Man is doing something REALLY difficult. He's giving up smoking. Word is that he has paced about 72 miles today and has taken to sitting at his window screaming at random passers by. So, he's handling it well.

And, since it's Thursday, it's time for another kick-butt (butt isn't a cuss word is it?) episode of “I'm With Stupid!”

This week, we're talking about what else? Lent!

We'll talk about some of our favorite Lent shenanigans of the past, and discuss how we think this year will shape up. We'll also talk about waivers and whether they're good or bad. And we'll talk about just what constitutes an actual cuss word and what doesn't. And we'll have a couple of live remotes including one from a real live Catholic Church during the big Ash Wednesday shindig.

Of course, we'll talk your calls too. Call us up and tell us what you're giving up for lent. Or what you're NOT giving up. Or just call us up and shoot the breeze with us. Matt will be busy chewing on a pencil and I'll be. Talking. Like. William. Shatner. Trying not to cuss.

Heck, even Jesus himself wants you to listen:

This show is gonna rock!

(Don't) Hold it Against Me...

It's all Britney Spears fault! I meant to do a blog post earlier this morning, but instead got distracted watching her video for her new song “Hold it Against Me” over and over and over again. I'm still not sure what she wants me to hold against her though. Maybe she's just too deep for me.

It's great to see Brit back and kicking ass again. If if she was kicking her own ass in the video. 

Anyway, because of Britney, instead of some deep and insightful blog post about some important shit, you get rambling about not so important shit. So, hold it against Britalicious, not me.

You know, I just don't know if I'm ready for another baseball season. Baseball is the only thing I can think of that Twitter has made worse. The pitch-by-pitch tweeting of a 162 game season is just more than I can handle. Especially when it's me tweeting about how shitty the Cardinals are and about how they surround Pujols and Holliday with a bunch of average at best young players and washed up stiffs.

Of course, I haven't had a good relationship with baseball for several years now. It's not baseball's fault though. Oh well, I guess another season is going to start whether I want it to or not. Maybe since I'm not playing fantasy baseball this season it will be better.

I retired from fantasy baseball after winning the ABL League last year. Just had to throw that little reminder out to a few people. hehe

I've gotten out of the habit of carrying my camera everywhere with me. This became a problem the other day when there was an elderly man riding his Rascal (or Hoveround) down main street right through town. People were honking at him and swerving to avoid him and he looked completely oblivious to all of it. It was kind of hilarious.

I have no idea where he was going in his little Rascal, which he got through Medicare at little or no cost to himself. Probably a Tea Party rally against government spending.

Speaking of baseball. Detroit Tiger's Miguel Cabrera got a DUI this week. After being stopped by the police Cabrera allegedly took a swig from a bottle of liquor and played the “Don't you know who I am?” card. That's pretty fresh.

I remember when the only thing people were worried about was that Cabrera was fat. Oh well Tigers fans. Nothing to be concerned with. As long as Miggy keeps hitting the way he has, everything will be fine. Of course, as soon as he goes into a slump, he'll be a fat drunk and they'll drop him like a bad habit.

And of course, last night Matt-Man and I put together another brilliant episode of “I'm With Stupid.” I can't wait to go and chow down on some James K. Polkchops from the new restaurant sweeping the country that honors our past presidents, Air Force YUM! And, Marty did a great job with his interview with that most efficient of presidents William Henry Harrison. Old Tippecanoe was a very underrated president. He got everything done in only 31 days and never had a single scandal in his administration. Very impressive!

Of course, Matt-Man's favorite all-time president is Boris “Buy Me Another” Yeltsin. Funny how I thought we were discussing AMERICAN presidents, huh? Too bad cause I could have done several minutes on how awesome Slobodan Milosevic was!

Anyway, you can give it a listen here if you like:

Reactions to Hosni Mubarak ...

Egypt’s President Hosni Mubarak gave a speech today where many in the American media thought he would announce his retirement but instead essentially said "Je suis l'état. L'état c'est moi."

Here are some reactions to his speech:

Sarah Palin can’t believe how delusional Mubarak is.

Brett Favre thinks Mubarak needs to learn when to give it up.

John Kerry can’t believe what a boring speaker Mubarak is.

George W Bush can’t believe how stubborn Mubarak is.

Vladimir Putin can’t believe Mubarak won’t give up power.

Napoleon says Mubarak needs to accept when he’s not wanted.

Rasputin can’t believe how scrappy Mubarak is.

Joseph Stalin thinks Mubarak is being a little rough on people who disagree with him.

Pol Pot thinks Mubarak is a pussy.

Donald Trump thinks Mubarak is full of himself.

Jay Leno made some un-funny, unoriginal joke about Mubarak and de-Nile

Benito Mussolini warned Mubarak to just leave the mistress when trying to escape.

And Glenn Beck simply compared Mubarak to Hitler, like he does everybody.

In other news last night was another HI-larious episode of “I'm With Stupid!” Matt-Man and I blew the lid off this whole Valentine's Day thing. The 30 minute format kinda sucks cause we're just getting rolling when it's suddenly over, but it's still lots of hijinks and jocularity. And, we'd like to thank Dana for hanging out with us and, of course, Mike for calling in for the after show!

If you'd like to listen, you can do so here..

But, for whatever reason, that player doesn't show up in Google Reader. So, I found out I can put in an enclosure link to the mp3 of the show and Blogger will create a player (that can pop out too) and it WILL show up in Reader. Only problem is, it doesn't show up on the blog. WTF? Anyway, here's the show via their player if you'd like to listen, but don't want to click on the blog. I'm helpful that way. (Hope it works!)

Valentine's Day Is Out Of Control...

There has been no bigger fraud perpetrated on the people of Earth than Valentine’s Day. It is the biggest scam EVER. The entire premise of Valentine’s Day is designed to force men to spend a lot of money on women. Or whoever plays the “female role” in a gay relationship. It’s just disgusting how this has happened and it’s time for it to stop! Valentines Day should go back to being about loving and caring relationships. Not one-sided fancy gift giving.

So, this Thursday on I’m With Stupid, Matt-Man and I will take a stand! We’re doing it for our fellow men and people who play the “male role.” And while most men will run and hide from this discussion, they are also secretly doing a Jersey Shore fist pump in celebration that someone is FINALLY taking a stand against the disgusting consumerism that has engulfed this once quaint and sweet fake holiday.

In addition to that discussion we will have a live report from Guy Ahnyurdyck at a V-Day protest rally that we hear is being organized and Dick Burns will check in from the Victoria’s Secret right here in Redneckville.

And, who knows what else we might come up with. So, join us live or in archives (preferably live) and even give us a call and let us know that you are either joining our V-Day boycott or defend V-Day.

And, as an added bonus and to bring in even more listeners, I will be doing the show naked this week, despite the seven thousand inches of snow we got today.


Anyway, that’s “I’m With Stupid” Thursday night at 11 pm EST on Blog Talk Radio!
