Mon, 26 July 2010  Clean cows are happy cows ...And power wash + lather + disco = more milk, we guess. A Swedish company is cleaning up. Claim they've sold 30,000 machines to scrub bossy. How'd you like to have the air freshener concession? (editors advisory: be sure to have a clean change of underwear before listening to this story) Other news we didn't make up this week...Love life not working out? Blame Hollywood. We found another idiot driving around town on a motorized vehicle that's not a car, truck, van, bus or anything legal. Don't like property laws in your city? Secede. Then tell the court you're a Native American, and your rundown house is on YOUR reservation. Good luck. Hello, OnStar? I locked my keys in my getaway car. And another stupid criminal bites the dust. Alta Mira...This Albany NY area band took their name from the Edgar Winter Group tune. Progressive rock the way we like it. Enjoy two of their songs, "Slumberjack" and "Sinker, Or." Like most of the artists we feature Alta Mira are working with Ariel Publicity and Cyber PR in to rock their social media world! Give your music the PR edge. Music Success in Nine Weeks!

Mon, 19 July 2010  Woodstock wasn't as fun...East Dublin, Georgia is no place for redneck wannabes to be. While the Mudpit Belly Flop continues to be a fan favorite, our pick to become an Olympic event is the Arm Pit Serenade. A close second would be Redneck Horseshoes, but would just get the ASPCA panties in a bunch. Must admit, we enjoyed doing this story. Hey, we might be rednecks. We're gonna get rich...More ammo this week for our stupid criminal tip line. Let's see.. there's the idiot in South Jersey who decided to up the ante with cops by posting bail with-- well, ya gotta listen. Or the bozo in upstate NY who might want to re-think what he told the Border Patrol when asked "what's with the ankle monitor?" Still another genius did stupid, disgusting and illegal stuff, then blamed it on being from another planet. We don't make it up, folks. What's up with Texas TV? ...Maybe it's because they don't have GW to talk about anymore. You have to hear what passes for NEWS these days on local television in San Antonio and Houston. Cheese sticks AND a neat job at the airport!...The TSA is hiring. Wait until you see their cool new ad. Where? Just pick up the phone and order a large pepperoni and some nice boy willl bring the details. If it takes longer than 30 minutes, do we get a free flight? Musical guest...Aussey singer/songwriter Gilli Moon's new album (her 6th!) The Stillness is pure pop / AC greatness. Every cut is a heaping helping of self-awareness aimed at empowering all of us to go out and drink life to the fullest. Want proof? Our show's bookend tunes "I'm Alive" and "Be"will ignite the fire for your own greatness. Follow Gilli on Twitter!

Mon, 12 July 2010  You betcha...Hey momma grizzlies, heard about Sarah's latest gaffe? She had Ronald Reagan matriculating at a college in California. Even said so in front of a big crowd in -- California. Only missed it by about 17-hundred miles. Apparently in Alaska research is what you do when you lose something, can't find it, and then look again. Beck U ...Right Wing summer school is now in session. Online. Courses offered in Faith, Hope and Charity (101, 102 and 103). We keep tellin' ya, we don't make up this crap. No need. Glen Beck is getting rich peddling his brand of fertilizer. Oops, there's the bell. Eeep, eep...Found us an honest to goodness Darwin Award nominee. You know, do something too stupid to be believed- and then die because of it. This bozo thought he had planned the perfect prison break. His scheme involved the prison's big garbage disposal unit and... well, you gotta hear this! Be proud you're a rebel...Man too old to be living with mom & dad takes his ma hostage at gunpoint. Why? Couple hints: has to do with stereotypical gender role mentality, and it happened in Georgia (BTW: he didn't own a stereo, typical or otherwise). No more clues. Wrong Way Fife...Stupid criminal flees police by driving into a gathering of -- police. 95 POUNDS of cocaine were involved, and some drug sniffing dogs. Barney would've been so proud to be in on this bust. Musical guests: The Public Good, an alternative, power pop, indie rock band from Washington DC. Enjoy this week's YCMIU...

Mon, 5 July 2010  Late for work?...Blame Moshi. The first voice-activated clock alarm radio radio to offer a built in alibi for oversleeping. Just be careful you don't mutter "snooze" too many times in your sleep. Pencils down...The top educator in one big city school district in Massachusetts is still trying to splain his way out of a student testing mess. Some 26-hundred 11th & 12th graders were given a test littered with errors. But the worst one was the the page that said "This is the end of the test." (I guess you can just skip the NEXT two pages of questions, huh?). Give us more politicians like him...Wait until you hear - in his own words - what one candidate for governor of Maine pledges to do if he's elected. Somebody wrote it. He read it. Nobody checked it. How this TV ad made it into your living room is anyone's guess. What NOT to say to a judge...A long resume' of crime is not the kind of experience one should wave in the face of the guy who is about to sentence you. Did this bozo consider that before opening his mouth? Take a guess. More fun with bad English grammar...An AP headline last week read: "Sound Transit train hits teenage girl, survives." Oh we found oodles more. Come listen. Dude, where's our car?...You saw the movie, now meet the mental giants who inspired it. We found them and so did the cops. It wasn't difficult. Musical guests this week are the husband and wife duo of Shelley & Cal James. They've been fixtures on the Eugene, OR music scene for many years. The couple has been performing up and down the West Coast since 1993 and with their recent deal with 44-4 Records (distributed by Fontana) Shelley & Cal will be soon be spreading their brand of inspirational music nationwide. Best musical theater in Greater New Haven? ...2Kens give two thumbs up to The Whitney Players. One of the better musical theater companies around the Elm City area of Connecticut. One heck of show! (full disclosure: one of us is married to the director). Enjoy this week's YCMIU...

Mon, 28 June 2010  There's no place like home...We rediscover that every time we venture out. This week a bunch of whacky towns - and one entire state - on our radar. There's one in South Carolina where its illegal to pretty much utter any sound in public... a town for sale in New Zealand (including a pub and its 40 patrons!). Of course, the Ken who is from Chicago has seen all this before. We also found a guy snoozing in his recliner until... WHACK! The 9-1-1 operators are still laughing. And yet another stupid criminal who forgot one of the basic rules for using a getaway car. Hungry? ...
Not to be beaten out by KFC and IHOP in the Heart Attack On A Plate Derby, Friendly's offers a serious contender: the grilled cheese burger melt. If nutritional values matter to you, we've got the vitals. Let the mortality sweepstakes begin!
Jersey doesn't stink...Dot.com ... you know you wanna look. Musical guest this week: singer-songwriter, Deirdre Flint. In addition to being the bass player for the Four Bitchin Babes, she's also a standup comic. Two tunes for you, "Super 8" and "Advice."

Mon, 21 June 2010  What's next? ...The Sherwin Williams White House? Just when you thought corporate greed sponsorships could not sink lower comes (drum roll here) ... the 1-800-Ask-Gary Amphitheatre in south Florida. Hey, maybe Kiwi Brands can cash in this college football season. They could rename the (US F&G) Sugar Bowl the Ty D Bol to help raise money for all those small vertically challenged oil spill victims down there. GetBombed.com ...
They make and sell everything you need to take your game of Beer Pong to the ultimate level. You certainly cannot mistake their market. With team names like "Drinkin' Smokin' Straight WestCoastin'" and "Jewbacca" (Stars Wars with yamulkes) you also know that getting wasted is the biggest reason people play. Until now. Now there's big prize money, too. The World Beer Pong Tourney is paying $50 thousand in all, $25K first prize! All of a sudden tossing balls into cups of suds is legit. (Ed: Your 2 Kens had way more fun with this story than should be lawful. Don't ya just love the Internet?)
What's German for "brainless?"...Police still don't know what possessed a man to taunt a biker gang, throw a household pet at them, and then try to escape on a stolen bulldozer. But we're sure that when Quentin Tarantino acquires the rights it will be one hell of a flick. (Before you ask, Jack is too old for the part) Lap Dances for Ohio...Honey, I'm going down to the strip club and donate to those poor tornado victims. She won't buy it, and neither will the IRS. But hey, can't blame a guy for trying. PBS could learn something from this charity. Keep Monty Python's Circus flying. A win-win. Musical guest this week is Long Island's own Roast Beef Curtains. This is what happens when you blend reggae with punk, dub and improv rock.

Mon, 14 June 2010  What does the loser get?...Chicago's two (insert disparaging adjective here) baseball teams are battling again for the Cross Town Cup. While the victors may indeed get the spoils, this year the players are being spared the fans' wrath. The boo birds have a new target. Let the drilling begin! Noisy mufflers are easy...Speeders are harder to spot without traffic cameras or radar guns. Luckily cops in one mid-America state now have a new secret weapon. It's your word against theirs! (yeah, that should work) Pray they don't grow up to be your accountant...NY CIty school kids get a free pass on state math tests. All they have to do is try and coming close is good enough (paging Bob NewHart). Here kitty, kitty...You know that disclaimer that goes "no cats were harmed in the testing of this product?" You might start seeing it on designer cologne -- for MEN. Remember the movie Crazy People? Dudley Moore's line about why men buy Jaguars may fit here. Move over Jared...If Subway ever decides to sell a two foot long sandwich, we found the perfect pitch man. Won't cost them much either, prison wages being what they are. CONGRATULATIONS "Million Dollar Quartet!"...Props to producer Ted Rawlins and everyone else associated with this new and inspiring Broadway musical that scored some hardware at the Tony Awards last night! How about that opening number, ey? (note: yours truly messed up on the cast. it was Carl Perkins, not Roy Orbison. hey, 3 outta 4 ain't bad) Music on today's show is by Brooklyn's Amy Coleman. Ballsy like Janice, the passion of Mick and inspired by such legends as Billie Holiday, Aretha, The Beatles and Sly and The Family Stone, you are gonna flip for Amy's brand of soulful blues-rock!

Mon, 7 June 2010  What goes up...We have more proof that pot smoking makes you stupid. But that shouldn't prevent you from collecting workman's comp. Go ask the judge. All that glitters...Wife out of town? Surprise her. Hire a maid to clean house. Our advice: avoid the naked one on Craigslist. A guy in Florida is in deep doo doo with the Mrs -- but NOT for the reason you think. We're listener supported...Two YCMIU fans named Nick helped your two Kens kick back this week. Nick in BC, Canada offers the perfect punishment for saggy pants law breakers in Lake Horn, TN (you mean you missed that story?)... and Nick C. in Maine tipped us off two teenage girls who practically BEGGED police to bust them for smoking weed and driving-- fast. Them's the brakes...No, really. You need them to stop the car you just stole. Nevermind. That tree will do nicely. Musical guest this week is Crazy Mary, a NYC-based, alternative, progressive rock, underground band in the mold of Jefferson Airplane, The Velvet Underground, early Rolling Stones, or maybe a young Jim Morrison. Crank it up for some psychodelic 60s sounds we've missed. We open with "Gravity" and close with "Orgasmic Annie."

Mon, 31 May 2010  Stop and smell the...Garden State residents wonder no more. We located that odor in New Jersey. (Hey, P- blame the other Ken for this) We were available...But instead, Wheaton College chose Ann Curry to deliver its Commencement address. Too bad she couldn't find NBC's research library before giving grads a history lesson. Sponge, scalpel, oops...Worst doctor in the world? She's over in Norway. Uh, well, Sweden now. What happened to those friendly skies?...Think twice about falling asleep on THIS airlines. You may not like their wake-up service. Can we play, can we, huh?...Want to be part of your local TV news team? No experience necessary. (in a related story, journalism is now extinct) This week's musical guest hails from Greece and goes by one name: KALLIOPI. She reminds us of Joan Jett and the Wilson sisters (Heart). Enjoy the tunes and a few laughs this Memorial Day. Please remember to give thanks for what today is all about. Cheers!

Mon, 24 May 2010  Oh, Winnie...Is that Wonder Years child star, Winnie Cooper doin the cheesecake spread in a men's mag? Yep. Actress-turned-mathematician Danica McKellar is taking it off to let girls know that smart is sexxy. Won't get any argument from either of us Kens. But that yarn she's peddling about her dating life ain't flying. Well, maybe with hubby. Can't cat burglars see in the dark?...We found one who needed light during a home heist. Trouble is, the people who live there didn't. Even Teddy Bears need time off...This just might be the greatest vacation scam ever invented. We only wish we'd thought of it first. Maybe prison has paint-by-numbers license plates...So these two vandals are splashing colorful latex on parked cars. And on themselves. And on the streets leading to their hideout. Bet you can't guess how the cops nailed them. No use calling a plumber in Horn Lake, TN...These guys are an endangered species, what with city lawmakers getting set to - wait for it - crack down on saggy pants. And the award for the swiftest police force in America goes to...Cops in Corpus Christi, TX can smell illegal weed no matter where it's growing. Their difficulty comes in identifying it. Score one for Glee...Musical guest this week is FeelGood, a five man band from Hollywood who blend funk, jazz, soul, rock and pop. Two of the guys, Stefan and Zach, can be seen on the current season of the Hit FOX TV show Glee, where Stefan is slated for a recurring roll! Enjoy "Goin Nowhere" and "People On the Ground."

Mon, 17 May 2010  Feeling defamed? To make it easy for the lawyers we list those we came down on this week. If you see your name or institution, be proud. We have impossible stupidity standards. Take a number, bozos...
Get Over It...That's one of two tunes we feature by Stars Go Dim, an award winning pop-rock band out of Tulsa, OK. Enjoy the show!

Mon, 10 May 2010  Fair game...Italy's answer to epidemic divorce rate? Beauty tips and gift registry. Anti-stalking help optional. Hope they ain't sports fans...MENSA actually chose Detroit for this summer's convention. Proving high IQ and refined tastes do not necessarily exist in the same brain. What else is there?...Hooters girls, teenage boys and a youth football team. A women's rights group in Australia is concerned the kids won't have their heads in the game. Busty cheerleaders, or burgers and fries? Go ask your dad. Other stories we're working for 11...
Disco refuses to die...We must try harder. Musical guest this week is Motion Potion (a.k.a. Robbie Kowal), an honest-to-goodness traveling Disco DJ and full-time music promoter in San Franciso. Bring your own mirror ball and enjoy the show!

Wed, 5 May 2010  Happy Cinco de Mayo! ...A little fun at Arizona's expense to kick off Club Indie. Keep your head down and pray your frozen Margarita arrives ahead of the border patrol. (Oh, c'mon. you know better than to look for PC in this joint!) Urgency...It is the title of her new album and for Maree McRae the music contained therein is deeply personal. Begun as an Americana / Country studio project, something delightfully odd happened on its way to radio stations across the land. One of the tracks, "Breeze" became the #1 most added single in the country making it’s mark nationally at #7, alongside TAYLOR SWIFT, on Adult Contemporary Radio. But, as you will hear, the real story is how "Urgency" came to be. Maree wrote the title track in her car after exiting a Denver hospital where her 18-year old son had just been diagnosed with a serious immune system disorder. Something he had suffered with since birth. Maree has been compared to Jewel, Mary Chapin Carpentar and Michelle Branch, a distinction she richly deserves. We think you will agree. Crank up your headphones and enjoy our special interview with this incredibly gifted singer-songwriter. Then get out and support her the next time Maree plays out in Rocky Mountan high country. A schedule of upcoming gigs can be found on her website. Download the mp3 of today's show with Maree McRae or click the arrow below and listen now!

Mon, 3 May 2010  Obesity rules...On the heels of yet another ridiculous survey on obesity - finding the blatantly obvious (my, aren't these researchers the clever devils) - we dedicate this week's show to those of you smart enough to see through this crap and keep eating as much fat and cholesterol as a body can ingest in one sitting. Behold: The Krispy Kreme KFC Doubledown Sandwich. Life is short. Time's a wasting. Eat dessert with dinner. Not to be outdone, our heart attack on a plate friends over at IHOP present... taaa-dah: Pancake Stackers! Back up the ambulance, ma, we got ourselves a quadruple bypass special to get to! Hurry, supplies are limited. If chivalry is dead...We think we found the two women who killed it. Men, you'll think twice now before holding the door a lady. Did you miss National Hairball Day? ...Wish we had. But hey, when the absurdity gods hand you lemons -- Next time build a castle...Yet another bozo with a pickup truck, a beach full of sand, and a curious need to take some home. Luckily the cops got to him ahead of high tide (though it would have been fun to see the latter). There's a business opportunity here somewhere...How NOT to navigate a boat, British style. When all you have is a road map, well -- Musical guest...Like Steven Tyler, Bob Dylan and Tom Petty, Shawn Fisher has one of those distinctive voices that stays with you years after you saw him in concert. His tunes are pure energy with star power written all over them. We defy you not to think Aerosmith when you hear "Out of Control." Enjoy the show!

Mon, 26 April 2010  We hate to keep pickin on em but...Dead guy elected mayor. Door-to-door meat salesman busted for pot. You're thinkin, deep Soooouth? Well, DUUH! If The Eagles and Jack Johnson had a baby...His music and lyrics would sound a lot like Mark Radcliffe. He grew up in Maine and Vermont, taught high school English for years (yes, waited tables & tended bar) and wrote ad copy. Along the way he's played and sung his tunes from NYC to Atlanta to LA, and in countless other cities and towns in between. Today, his first, full-studio CD, "The Sea Before Us" is getting lots of spins and drawing glowing reviews from coast to coast. 2Kens Comedy Club Indie caught up with Mark for a fascinating 15 minutes in which we learned he...
Songs played include, "In The Sun", "Blow It All Away", "Tumbleweed" and our personal top-down, driving around tune "Miss Hard To Forget." (for that special brunette in your life, guys!) Download the mp3 of today's show with Mark Radcliffe or click the arrow below and listen now!
