Every so often you see a video that makes you say, "no way he just did that." Have you ever heard of noodling? Noodling is basically fishing with your bare hands and believe it or not, but some people are very skilled at this. In fact, I think there is some kind of reality show about noodling. What do you call quail hunting with your bare hands?

Jon Prell — Fri, 17 May 2013 01:00:59 +0000

S*#T! There goes another title that Indiana and Kentucky lose out on. According to a new survey, people swear more in Ohio than any other state in the Union, followed by Maryland and New Jersey...well there's a f@!#ing surprise - what no New York? By contrast, the state with the fewest people who swear and the most goody two-shoes is Washington.

Leslie Morgan — Thu, 16 May 2013 09:00:10 +0000

About 3 weeks ago, Pepsi released the commercials for the new Pepsi Next. The commercials are a series of videos that star Latin heartthrob William Levy. Remember him on Dancing With the Stars? He didn't win but I enjoyed his ChaCha VERY much! ;-) Almost as much as I enjoy these commercials. Why? Because when you mix hot AND funny...OMG...I need a moment! You will too.

Drew Weisholtz — Tue, 14 May 2013 14:15:35 +0000

Experience isnâ€™t always the most important qualification for a politician. Sometimes dimples work just fine. The mayor of teeny, tiny Dorset, Minnesota (population 22) is a four-year-old boy named Robert â€œBobbieâ€ Tufts. We donâ€™t know if his senior advisor is Rubber Duckie or if he pledged naptime for all citizens, but Bobbie won the coveted [...]

Baby Boy — Mon, 13 May 2013 16:54:20 +0000

Charlie Worsham is hitting country music by storm with his new single “Could It Be” but “Could It Be” that he is a country music artist by day and wields a reinforced-black-latex suit by night, protecting Gotham City? He certainly looks like a younger version of Christian Bale. All he has to do is shave [...]

It was bound to happen eventually and now it has. A Colorado man has been fired from his job because of a Facebook post he made about his company while on the clock.

This video is very interesting and I am really not sure how I feel about it, or whose side I'm on.

Jeremy Drew, 12, confronts the officer and asks why he parked the way he did.

Jon Prell — Wed, 08 May 2013 01:00:26 +0000

Since 3-D printing technology became a reality, the fear of being able to create something destructive has been realized. The first ever 3-D printed gun has been fired successfully, which has a lot of people, including lawmakers, very worried. The other problem is the fact that the gun's digital blueprints can be downloaded for free by anyone who wants to build their own and has access to a 3-D printer, which is perfectly legal.

Jon Is Frightened Every Morning By Leslie's Bed Head and Finally Calls Her Out

Leslie Morgan — Mon, 06 May 2013 04:14:35 +0000

First of all, I am NOT a morning person and have NEVER been. In the mornings, I get up at the last possible second so that I will still make it to work on time. Doing or even combing my hair is not possible. Luckily, I am on the radio so YOU never have to see me. But poor Jon, with HIS perfect hair, has to see me every morning. And I think he's had enough! ;-)
