Do a little dance... Make a little love. Get down tonight. Helps if you gave her - or him - a really romantic card. Too late to fix that this Christmas, but next year try a card and "candy" shop we found. Just don't tell her why it took you 3 hours. Holiday tunes this show include "Seasons of [...]

Twas the night before yada, yada... And mamma in her stance, a two-handed grip and I in a flash, scream "9-1-1? Come QUICK!" Then I heard her exclaim as she clicked off the safety 'Merry Christmas, you creep- I know about Katie!' Nothing says Happy Holidays like a handgun. Just be sure you've nothing to hide. Here's Day 11 of our [...]

Hey Mattel, what were you thinking? Why in the name of Walter Cronkite would any parent want their child playing with News Anchor Barbie? TV news is dead. Nobody watches anymore. Ask anyone clawing to get out of the industry. AOL bloggers fresh out of J-school keep us informed now. Citizen journo's tweet what passes for news. Us? We can't [...]

No more Mr. Niceville... Niceville, Florida. Slogan on their web site says: NICE FOLKS. NICE TOWN. NICE TO VISIT. Not so nice for one city worker who decided to do a little holiday payback and hijack the town's annual Christmas parade. Cops say he blew a .266. You drink big, you plan big. Holiday tune is "Westward By Night" from [...]

This week we take dead aim at a world adrift in a sea of poor spelling, bad grammar and just plain stupid stuff educators do. If teachers and public officials don't get it, how can the kids? Red faced in South Bend...Fighting Irish football shame aside, that stupid billboard is a real embarrassment. Nobody proof reads anything anymore. Madagascar's Got Talent...Talk about your goofy rituals about death. This African nation takes Finnegan's Wake to a whole new level! Listen to the opening of our show then watch the video. Our version is waay more fun. Neither comes with popcorn. When pigs fly...Police in Ireland (sensing a theme here?) have this crafty idea who to bust pub keepers for serving underaged drinkers. We can't see ANYTHING going wrong with this sting operation can you? Bumbling Bulgarian biker bag man...Our stupid criminal tip of the week: keep your balance. Dublin's Dylan... This week's musical guest is an acoustic rock/folk dude from Dublin, whose music is in the Pink Floyd, Bob Dylan mold. Peter Doran's new album is "Sleepless Street". We sampled "Twisted Freak" and "The Composer."

We'd pay to hear his concession speech...The good news for Tennessee's GOP is, Basil "Back to Basics" Marceaux did not win his party's goober-natorial primary. (If you live there the bad news is 35-hundred people voted for him!) Frankly, with rousing website rhetoric like the following, we can't understand why he lost: VOTE FOR ME AND IF I WIN I WILL IMMUNE YOU FROM ALL STATE CRIMES FOR THE REST OF YOU LIFE! (Except violating a citizen rights this would be a special punishment ) Making Tennessee the first state in the United States to actually listen to the U.S.and state Constitution ,and all cities charters. Would have made a great governor, don't ya think? Wait until you hear him speak. (yes, it's on the show!) Better get Geico...Another bozo running for Gov -- Nevada's Eugene "Gino" DiSimone -- has a brilliant idea to get you to the craps table faster. Hold $25 bucks aside and we'll tell you about it. Other stuff we didn't make up this week... A cop who did everything - really, everything - to get fired, and still had trouble getting the courts to agree. A new tech device to thwart crooked cabbies. And a quick-thinking crime victim who REALLY surprised her assailant. Don't ask- just listen! Bonus link: Basil Marceaux TV campaign ad. Thanks to Dave F. for that! Big fan of Crosby, Stills & Nash? You'll dig Denver's Ironwood Rain. This week's musical guests have been compared to The Eagles, Counting Crows, Cold Play and John Mellencamp.

Mel woulda been blown away...What do you get when 1,000+ gallons of baked beans are gobbled up at a State Fair? New world's record put Pinson, Alabama on the map. Probably blew a hole clean through it. You should see how they treat counterfeiters...Wait until you hear what Maine conservation officials are doing to out-of-staters smuggling in contraband firewood. Load up the truck, Ma, we got us one dumb bunch of hicks to bamboozle! You want fries with that?...Fat, drunk, stupid and craving a big Mac is no way to go through life, M'am. Um.. lady? One of you in the drive-thru wanna see if she's still alive? Dave won't do THAT again...It is always a risk to e-mail us with stupid stuff you found. While we'll gladly take free content, sending it to us comes with some pain. Dave F - formerly from somewhere nearby a Michigan state prison - learns that lesson this week. (keep em coming Dave!). A fun link to a sign Dave found: http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4070/4486543395_5cd2ab6605_m.jpg Also, Dave wrote: "Can you imagine a chain of truck stops with this as their official logo?" http://www.kumandgo.com/ Other stuff we didn't make up this week... the guy next door with his own hyper-local news site... and a kid who wanted to be a cop so badly he turned to crime to afford the police academy. You gotta listen! Loomis and The Lust are back!Tunes this show belong to the Santa Barbara pop rock band that wowed us at YCMIU last year. We sample two tracks from their new EP "Space Camp" -- plus, check out their hillarious music video "A-D-D."

Paula's pick...No contest. Ms. Poundstone would definitely take the Deep Fried S'mores Pop-Tart. Our choice would be to skip the Sixth Annual Big Tex Choice fried food awards and live a tad longer. Deep in the (triglyceride laden) heart of Texas vendors of some of the worst stuff you could ever do to your arteries are vying for top prize. Judges will make the call Labor Day weekend. We listed the finalists here. (if you vote, go with the Pop Tarts). When life reeked with joy...Move-in day for college kids means another freshman class will stun professors with just how little they know about history. We've some actual examples from freshman papers. Listen at your own risk. These will explain a lot! (thanks to Jane C. in Portland, ME for sending this one in!) Wouldn't hurt to check the bike for priors...We've unearthed some pretty bizarre crime stories on this show, but this one even baffles us. Did you know that it is apparently illegal in one Florida community to have an obscene argument with your bicycle? You don't need to ask. Of course alcohol was involved. And no, we don't know what the legal drinking age is for inanimate objects. Musical guest this week is Aussie pop sensation, Danielle DeLaite whose video "Nothing To Wear" bears (gotta love the English language) watching. Like most of the artists we feature, Danielle works wiith Ariel Hyatt and CyberPR to make her online publicity POP! Check out Ariel's best-selling book, Music Success in 9 Weeks.

Do NONE of the above and you wind up with this bozo's how-to. We're puzzled as to why more than 14,000 people have viewed it. Honey, don't forget your mask...We've another assemblage of the world's dumbest crooks-- and one geezer bank robber who made his getaway on a walker.

Jersey Shore from jail...Might as well. Easier on the cast. Cops finally nabbed another of the show's so-called stars. (No, not "Snooki.") Our favorite TV news sit, KENS-TV in San Antonio told us so. Ladies, start your engines...If you're looking to drop a few pounds, go for speed. Check out the NASCAR wives diet. Saw it in Woman's World magazine (nothing else to do at the checkout). We make a pit stop for a second opinion from our favorite Yankee-turned-redneck, Larry from Georgia. And his nickname is Boobie...A Chicago man just might have the distinction of being the stupidest criminal we've ever had the pleasure of telling you about. You think you have bad days? This guy makes a career of them. How do you spell school?If you know would you please tell the Public Works department in Guilford County, North Carolina. They're a bit cunphuzed. Musical guest: "The Famous." This San Francisco-based band mixes Americana with alternative Country and post-punk rock. They've been compared to Drive-by Truckers & Social Distortion, and take their musical influences from the likes of Buck Owens, Johnny Cash and The Pixies.

Take the woman who tried to stick up a taco stand, but was too drunk, stupid and pregnant to draw her weapon. Starbucks in Canada made our hit list. You'll never see this caper on a Frazier rerun. Or how about the moron who knocked over a Wendy's drive-thru, but had all those extra cell minutes and... Raise you hand. Who's for 14? ...Politics aside, Jeff Sessions needs a history lesson. Bonus question: Did the Wright brothers know, and when did they know it. One of us never flies...The other guy ... well, if we say Detroit and Delta, do you get the feeling there's a nightmare trip ahead? Air travel is sooo much fun. (Hey Delta. Ready when you are. Annnytime.) MUSICAL GUEST: He's called the "Doctor of the Blues" and Marshall Lawrence and his bottleneck guitar sling a mean brand of Mississippi Delta mud.

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!

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!

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...

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. [...]

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...

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."

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.

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!

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."

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!

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."

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!

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!

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!

So you call yourself a consultant...We found the BEST definition ever! Hello? Front desk? My room doesn't have lights...Pedal faster. Odd that a U.S. hotel chain didn't think of this first. Breaking news...TV stations in your town do this? Our local ABC affiliate kept interrupting the good stuff with an "urgent" story. Turns out nobody's life was in danger. Good reason for that. News 8 = Fail. Also this week... a Darwin Award nominee, and more fun with English since they canned all the proof readers. Musical guest...Melina Gerges. Trained in classical Italian opera, writing and singing American pop from Houston, TX. A haunting voice you will not forget. We feature two tunes off Melina's "Salem" album, the title track, and "Wasted Time." Enjoy the show!

(Chubby Checker said it best. C'mon people, work with us. Famous song lyrics? Anyone? Sheesh, 2Kens are getting old!) By the way, no truth to the rumor that Lily Sparks now writes our material. So that's what they do in Empire, Michigan...Asparagus Fest 2010. Don't miss it. Yum! And you thought you'd have to wait until next St. Patty's Day to pee green. Oh, and while your touring middle America, make sure Dad visits the annual Duct Tape Festival. Looks like your summer is loaded with fun things to do! Wanted: Rude interviewer...No experience necessary. Years spent trying to pick up women in bars is all training you need to write for this online site. We can almost guarantee they don't offer health insurance (Be sure to let someone know if you take the job. It's like don't go swimming alone). One less lawyer ain't so bad...So this guy rips off an office supply store (Staples, there we said it. There goes another potential sponsor), but instead of fleeing, he brags about the caper to everyone in sight. Why? C'mon, you must know how the criminal mind works by now! Other stuff we found amusing (considering the audience)...
Musical guests, David Perry & Purple Tree, a rock, psychedelic, retro rock band from Chicago with a sound that is part Pink Floyd and part John Lennon. Enjoy the show!

No cows were hurt, we swear...Watch out for the exploding cheese truck. If only it had happened in Wisconsin. Here kitty, kitty...Big thanks to Nick, a YCMIU fan in Fort St. John, British Columbia for this story. Earth Hour came and went uneventfully for millions this year. But for one high-level government environmentalist in Canada (and his cat) it was a night neither will ever forget. Guy's wife wasn't too thrilled, either. Non-combustibles this week include...

When in doubt, rob a cop...Don't stop there. Steal from a whole gaggle of 'em. I don't even own a garage...Sounds like the devil made other stops besides Georgia. Two Tennessee bozos stopped by Port of Authority NY officers offer up more than their driver's licenses. How does that work? ...Cops in two major cities get a gift from one of the dumbest bad guys ever to pull off a bank job. Skip the word alleged. He's guilty. On the upside, our boy now has loads of free time to study computer science. 911. Please state the nature of your emergency...Help, I'm being held captive in a detention center. You know we don't make it up. So, who is the dumbest?... Click here to take survey Also this week... A watering hole where the main attraction is watching drink prices fluxuate ... and a local TV news team goes undercover to expose- oops, wrong address. Musical guests: Canada's Uncle Seth (think Bare Naked Ladies) and Iceland's JJ Soul Band (for you Steely Dan lovers!) Enjoy the show!

Vas Madness...Men, it's that time of year again. College hoops and your couch- nonstop. Okay, so it's not painless. But at least the woman in your life doesn't mind! Snip City here we come. Honey, I'm doing it for you. Vroom vroom...How much DO local TV news anchors make, anyway? We found one who apparently can afford to drive a $250,000 sports car. Whether she can afford to keep her felon-boyfriend, and the lawsuit he got them into is another story. Attention K-Mart shoplifters...Local laws are funny things. Just when you think you've found the perfect spot to park your Meth labs, bang- here come the retail police to shut you down. Looks like our perp will have lots of time to learn the words to, "Indiana Wants Me." Stone cold exhibitionist...What's with all this public nakedness lately? Full frontal nudity on a grand scale will be springing up soon in one major US city. Not that it will do much for you. Still, might be wise to heed Doctor Who's warning. Don't blink. Moonlight in Vermont...We doubt the august Dept. of Education in Ben & Jerry Land have time for night school, but it wouldn't be the worst idea in the world for these folks to take a few math classes. Might discover Vermont kids are smarter than they think. The British are Coming! ...Kinks. Animals. Blur, Wilco and The Beatles, oh my. Musical guests, the Chicago-based band "Collectors" bring their own invasion to this week's show. You can grab their tunes on the former Podsafe Music Network. Enjoy the show

Club Indie luvs to rock...Who are Lily Sparks? Verb tense issues aside, this is one mother lovin', hard rockin' girls band. Oops, sorry Nick, nobody questions your masculinity (at least not while you're wielding those drum sticks)! They're taking NYC by storm, and taking no classic rock 'n roll prisoners. Spend some time this St. Paddy's day getting to know Niamh (pronounced: Neev in her native Ireland), KG (owns more guitars than most anyone you know) and Nikki (don't let all those tats fool you, she studied music and recording engineering at Berkley). Their debut EP, Cooper Cobra tells your ears all you need to know. Every note orchestrated and sung as sweetly and powerfully as any muscle car engine on the line at Colchester Dragway (that's in CT, folks). Purrfect! Tunes heard on this show...
Enjoy a few laughs and some great music, on us!

Get a FREE audiobook download and free 14-day trial at audiblepodcast.com/2kens. More than 75,000 titles to choose from. Press 3 to hear other confessions...A message service in Paris lets Catholics admit their sins without having to leave home. What could go wrong with this idea? Bugs has your Kwedit card, Elmer...Eh, what's up doc? 13 year olds can now buy stuff on a promise. Hey kids, it's Kwedit, and your parents don't even have to know! We'll ask again... what could go wrong? Honest officer, I only wanted to look pretty for him...First cellphones, then texting. Now? Wait until you hear about the latest way to get stopped for distracted driving. At least she brought her Ex along to steer. Also... how to get busted and lose your driver's license just for walking your dog, more mangled attempts to use the English language whilst posing as a journalist, and a would-be bank robber who made one mistake: didn't scout his target. Musical guests...Montreal-based The Blue Seeds with "My Fair Weather Friend." Their sound is somewhere between atmospheric-rock and alternative-folk. Also, Georgia funny man, singer/songwriter, Bill Kahler with "Doyle, Loretta and the Alligator Farm." Enjoy the show!

Club Indie is all about the MUSIC...And those who make it. If you love the indie tunes we feature on YCMIU, but want to hear more of it, you've come to the right place. Welcome to the debut of 2Kens Comedy Club Indie. Chats with artists and bands we like, sprinkled with lots of their music. You don't gotta be a kid...To appreciate today's musical guest. No matter your age, the RHYTHM is gonna grab ya. But especially so if you're a child. Which is what Heather and Norman Jones set out to do in 2003 when they conceived of the Rhythm Child Network. Big people vibes, soul, R & B, reggae... for children. As you will hear, the couple's two boys, Bailey (9) and Andre (4) contribute mightily to the cause, on stage and off. Rhythm Child’s mission is to encourage children to create soulful music and percussion, while also building their self confidence. “Eat a Bowl of Cherries” the group’s latest release, proves that not all children’s music needs to be hyperactive and saccharin sweet. Style-wise, Rhythm Child sounds more like Otis Redding than Alvin and the Chipmunks, an innovation that will delight children and parents alike. Enjoy the show, folks! By the way, compliments of Rhythm Child, please download, absolutely free, "Everybody Is The One." Bailey sings lead. (p.s. - you're gonna flip over the horns!) Next time...Club Indie's next guest in March is Lily Sparks, NYC's hard rocking trio of ladies whose pounding beat and wailing guitars instantly remind you of Heart, Pink, and Pat Benetar. Tunes played on this show:

Who you callin cupcake?...Stop being embarrassed over your sweet addiction. Drag these bad boys back to your man cave and watch the guys devour them. Macho cakes with names like Beer Run and Rum and Coke. We even tell you where to find 'em. Ultimate adrenaline rush...Bungie jumping a gorge not doing it for ya? No kicks from sky diving under 500 feet? May we suggest... get yourself kidnapped! Ya gotta go to Paris to do it, but hey, there are worse places to be bound, gagged and held for ransom. Sweden calling...We almost never hear stupid criminal stories out of Scandanavia. This one might catch on with pot heads in here in the states. Or not. Seems a druggie felt his dealer had sold him a bad batch. Who ya gonna call to complain? Why, local law enforcement, of course. Facebook profiles lie...Gee, ya think? This dude from Queens, NY got himself busted after his ex-girlfriend blew the whistle on him. He hijacked her account, and told her friends maliciouos things about her. You will NOT believe this story. Nice to know there are still some swell eligible batchelors out there, huh ladies? Our feature artist this week is Rhythm Child, a soul, R&B, reggae movement on a mission: to encourage children to create soulful music and percussion, while also building their self confidence. If you like their music, you're gonna love the story behind it. Enjoy the show!

Got your ears on?...Can you explain the podcast tastes of truckers? We sure can't. Just listen to a piece of a show we found double parked at a rest stop in VA. This must be what happens when guys get bored with CB radio. Got your rubber ducky on the side, c'mon. Our theme this week is...Good help is hard to find. Exhibit A: This want ad snagged by the politically correct police. Exhibit B: Proof that you can be too stupid to be fired. Chicago is my kind of...Crooked politics may become a thing of the past in Mayor Daley's town. Officials are taking a new tack in trying to fill two vacancies on the City Council. Good luck with this approach, boys! God hates dancing...We engage in one of our favorite pasttimes, dissing Wisoncsin (it's too easy). Today, the criminal case of the dance instructor versus a man who probably watched a certain 1984 movie one too many times. Last One To Know...That's one of the tunes we feature by Jeff Krantz, a modern folk/rock, singersongwriter from NYC. Jeff's musical influences include Jack Johnson, Cat Stevens & Dave Matthews. And he's been compared to James Taylor. Fast company, ey? Enjoy the show!

This show originates at http://www.2kenscomedy.com It's good to be king queen...Smack dab in beef cattle country, Argentina's leader offers a rousing endorsement for the other white meat. Her hubby gleefully agrees. Roses & chocolates are so cliche'...We found some farmers who gave their women folk something truly memorable this Valentine's Day and the ladies loved it! Need a hint? What do they have on farms that stinks? ewwwwe! You got it. Starting to see a theme here?...Men's Health magazine is out with their yearly list dining out sandwiches even Elvis would avoid. We doused three of 'em with our special YCMIU sauce. Now wash it all down with ... Goat's milk...Aussies and Kiwis don't agree on much. Fact is, they love to find things to brag about that the other doesn't have. Take sheep, for instance. Sara Haze...She's a sun-bleached beach blonde from LA. Pretty ordinary for So. Cal, right? Now listen to her voice. We feature two tracks from her new album "My Personal Sky." Remember, after Sara Haze makes it very big, we told you so. Enjoy the show!

This show originates at 2KensComedy.com Colateral Damage... Hearing about the Aussie banker who starred in his own reality TV disaster made us think about that 1991 Meryl Streep, Albert Brooks movie, Defending Your Life. This guy is what Rip Torn would have called a little brain. Go Bessie GO!...Toyota ain't the only ones with a stopping problem. There's a cow in the Netherlands with bad gas who set fire to everything in sight, thanks to her helpful vet. We thank our new best bud Barb in Atlanta for sending us this story. She wins a bunch of free tunes! Course, it's all barn dance music. Also this week...Just in time for V-Day, candy bars you may not have heard of... a South Carolina law that's hard to enforce (requires terrorists to really be good citizens) ... and two stories that prove the coppers in Scotland wouldn't know crime if it bit 'em under their kilts. She Swings She Sways...Our musical guest is an acoustic/folk band whose tunes are steeped in Americana, as you would expect from artists who grew up in Ottumwa, Iowa. She Swings She Sways have played more than 200 gigs while completing five tours of the Midwest. Enjoy the show!

Robo groundhog...PETA draws its usual crooked line in the sand..um.. burrow as Punxatawney PA prepares to light up another pre-dawn Feb 2 for Phil. Will this be his final year? Will a Dalek take over shadow patrol? Will this group of anmial rights loons live to fight another goofy battle? Stay tuned. Excuse me officer, care for a joint? ...You'll find my stash in the trunk. Yet more evidence that pot makes you stupid. Midnight in Moscow...And we ain't seen this many stacked up cars bouncing up and down since the local drive-in movie closed. Gee, if only U.S. billboards had this feature! It's illegal in the state of Georgia to...Among other things, swear in the presence of a dead body. Having lived there for seven years I admit I probably broke that law every day. At work. Wait until you hear some of the other peachy things still on their books. Tell your bumper sticker to shut up...You've seen the one that goes, "if you think education is expensive try affording the alternative." Well we found more proof -- at a school, no less -- that government does NOT attract the best and brightest. Enjoy the show!

Bonus show this week: 31 minutes. 12 for tunes Dating Math...There's this numbers freak in the UK - by way of Seattle, USA - who has calculated the precise odds that he will find a mate. Figures his chances are slim and none. Gee, can't imagine why. Everybody needs a hobby. Blindfold the peacock...Give him a cigarette. He's toast. NBC programing geniuses are screwed, and if you keep watching so are you. Want proof? We got it. Montana ain't so bad...Now that CNN has climbed in biz bed with electro-punk vibes and the media moguls who brought us Old Porno Tapes, don't be surprised if you never see Ted Turner's face again. No heavy voiceover lifting for James Earl, either. The Most Trusted Name in News can just use that heavy breathing track from Star Wars. Gotta love the 24 hour news cycle. Speaking of handcuffs...1 Adam 12: See the man who apprehended himself. Be advised the suspect may attempt to taser himself. Again. That this story comes from the deep Souuuuth just makes it oh so much better. Guest artists: Seattle's hard rockin Dyslexaty, and the smooth piano man, Matthew Ebel. Enjoy our show!

Buy $8 Customized Tees at CustomizedGirl.com Maybe they should friend him ...He's brazen. He's on the lam. He's not very bright. Which doesn't say a whole lot for authorities in the UK who, nearly four months after his escape, still have no clue where in the bloody blazes Craig 'Lazie' Lynch is hiding out. Pull! ...Damn. Missed the barn again. The good news: Wisconsin hunters are hitting fewer buildings. Can you guess the bad news? Must be true...We saw it on Fox. Are you kidding me?

You want fries with those unmarked bills? ...How many times do you have to be told? Never rob a fast food place on an empty stomach.
