For Sale: Low mileage, loaded...Just like the owner. Cops say LeRoy Anderson was blotto when he crashed his souped-up La-Z-Boy into a parked car. Now you can own this little beauty (the chair, not LeRoy). No word whether the stereo still works. Well, he does wear stripes...When your hosts are not trying to be funny (emphasis on trying) one of us is a basketball ref (true) being hunted (sorta) by Freddie the neighborhood bail bondsman. You know you're curious. Ignorance isn't just bliss...it's apparently epidemic. We offer 68 seconds of proof from some of the dumbest folks ever to have a news microphone thrust in their faces. Thanks to our friends at funnieststuff.net! Dying for dollars...A local station in Saginaw MI is betting that paid obits will be a big rainmaker for them. The grieving family can get poor, dead Uncle Bob on the evening news - and splattered (sorry) across ObitMichigan.com for only $100. Just in time for Halloween. No rush your honor...Two more stupid criminals for your enjoyment. What one of them pulled is right out of a Woody Allen movie. The other dunder head told the sentencing judge to hurry up and rule on his case. We like Zune...Really we do. We answer email from a listener who sounds way too informed about Microsoft's new and improved mp3 & video player to be only a consumer. Betcha he won't do that again. You don't need a Harvard degree...to make stupid investments. But it seems to help. Feature artist...Assembly of Dust is the musical genius of singer-songwriter Reid Genauer. If you get off on The Band, Neil Young, Traffic and Clapton you will be bonkers over Genauer's alt-country-rock. We open with All That I Am Now featuring the great Richie Havens, and close with Arc of the Sun featuring Phish guitarist Mike Gordon. Follow us on Twitter... http://www.twitter.com/2kens |

One extraordinary kitty...Beeper was our best friend for nearly 17-years. She filled our home with love and happiness. She adored us, as we adored her. Miss Beeper, we love you! You will forever live in our hearts. We dedicate this week's show to her indominable spirit, gentle soul and undying friendship. Hey, be careful out there...For memorable one-liners Hill Street Blues had nothing on the new Wednesday night reality show, Alaska State Troopers on the National Geographic channel. COPS comes to the 49th state. Their mission: to serve and protect - drunks and wayward moose. He's no Einstein...Wanna bet? Meet the smartest two-year old in the history of civilization. Too bad the same thing can't be said for a Brit reporter who did the story. Be our pen pal...Remember we told you a couple months ago how inmates in several states sued corrections officials for making WriteAPrisoner.com taboo? Well here comes the other shoe. PrisonVoice.com, a prison pen pal service, wants to swap links with US! They think we make excellent promotion partners. We smell a sponsor! Heard the one about...A bear walks into a grocery store and... well, ya gotta hear this. Reason 512 why TV news is dead?...Greed. Which, come to think of it, covers the first 511. Wish we could get this station here. Should be fun to watch this experiment fail. Men want fast cars because...I give up. Let's pay a lot of money to study this. (anyone think it has something to do with women?) THE RADIANT...This week's feature band will rock your world with I Don't Need A Reason. Rooted in keyboards their music is akin in some ways to bands like Keane, The Fray, maybe even Coldplay. Christian Yorke, at times, reminds us of Bono. Crank it up!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Help make it unnecessary. Mars landing...Proving yet again that old rockers never die (though for these guys cryonics might be nice), KISS is teaming up with M&Ms candies. An ad campaign just begging for Gene Simmons to scream the tagline: Bite Us! Throw money at it...We salute three crime victims, two of whom bravely thrwarted the bad guys. The other... not so much. Fat City here we come! ...ABC next spring will have a new reality show about America's love affair with obesity. A British celebrity chef is shooting the series right now, and it stars the people of Huntington West Virginia, aka the unhealthiest city in the USA. Let's go down to Hillbilly Hot Dogs and see what Jamie is cooking up. Still room up there for skis...Better hope your kids don't wind up riding to the game with this soccer mom. There had to be another way...This year's best chance for a Darwin Award might be the guy who showed his buds how to know if your gun is loaded. (sorry, Wisonsin. nobody in your state is this dumb) Planetary Nights...That's the great blues-rocker Bob McSweeney's band and we've got two groovy tunes from their new album, Eliptical Motion. We open with Luck Runnin' Out and close with Starting Over. Enjoy! Follow us on Twitter... http://www.twitter.com/2kens |

Press 1 for nasty girls...A government agency in Canada is red faced after a toll-free hot line set up to help lobster fisherman got mixed up with a number for phone sex. No wonder there's a catch limit! Just because you CAN...We sample 4 podcasts that have us asking WHY? We have no clue what these shows are about - and neither do the hosts! (no link- ya gotta listen) Make Blockbuster happy...Always helpful, we found two holiday gifts you can give to those very special people in your life. The ones you don't like. Then capture those memories on DVD but remember to rewind. WTF?...Leave it to Wisconsin to mess up tourism. Not safe there anyway, what with all those 10-year olds running around with hunting rifles. isn't this more fun than picking on the South? Our feature artist this week is GroundSound, a funk-rock trio from Mahopac, NY. Nicholas and Ray Soto on bass and guitar, along with drummer John Carlucci bring us shades of Hendrix, Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Beatles. Enjoy two of their tunes, 'Get Better' and The Lake Song.
