August 13, 2012 Growing up as a lefty, I always got a kick out of a framed sign my paternal grandmother had hanging in her house. It read:
"If the left side of your brain controls the right side of your body, and the right side of your brain controls the left side of your body; then only left handed people are in their right mind!"
August 9, 2012 What a crazy video from Five Finger Death Punch!
August 8, 2012 Our amazing sales dude here at 94.5 KATS just became even cooler!
News came out today that nearly all Olympic swimmers have urinated in the pool at least during warm ups. Have you ever “gone” in the pool?
August 2, 2012 Gonna be headed to Alive @ Five at Belu Salon in downtown Yakima to do RoadRage live!!!
August 2, 2012 If you've listened to my (alleged) show for any time at all, then you most likely know for that the last 15-plus years, I moonlight in the summer as the P.A. announcer/D.J. for the Yakima Bears at County Stadium.
The job requires not only announcing batters as the come to home plate, but to try and add an element of entertainment for the spectators with appropriate musical selections - even if it's at the expense of the opposing team. Hell, ESPECIALLY if it's at their expense!
I'll play Linda Ronstadt's "You're No Good" when announcing the visitor's line-up. I LOVE to play Rita Coolidge's "Don't Cry Out Loud" when the out-of-town team's manager comes to argue a call. When the enemy team has to pull their pitcher from the game, I will cue up Tom Petty's "Don't Come Around Here No More."
Even the umpires are not immune. I still get a kick out of spinning the theme to TV's "Odd Couple" or "Devil With A Blue Dress" when the umps (they wear blue clothing and work in pairs in the N.W.L.) come out onto the field.
Maybe I should re-think that.
A stadium D.J. (for lack of a better term) in Florida was literally thrown out of the game by an umpire for a song he played over the public address system the other day at a game in Daytona!
Listen and watch the "offensive" music after the jump.
The carnivorous world of the burger business has been using the “better is better” philosophy to help beef up their sales, and as cheesy as it might sound, consumers seem to be eating it up.
August 1, 2012 You just have to open your eyes but there are some serous Hot Chicks in Yakima!
July 31, 2012 This wonderful country we live in was established by our Founding Fathers and Immigrants that came here.
July 31, 2012 When I'm watching the Olympics, the room always gets a little "dusty" when a member of the U.S. team wins a gold medal, gets to stand on the podium just a bit higher than everybody else and the sounds of the "Star-Spangled Banner" begin to play.
But it occured to me last night, what if EVERY country tied for first in a single event? Would ALL 216 anthems be played?

July 30, 2012 That's quite a bold statement, considering some of the hatchet jobs that the "Star-Spangled Banner" has received over the years. Rosanne Barr, anyone?
However, if you can stomach the performance for it's entirety (2:40!) I think you might agree.
