  1. Lions sure dodged a bullet with Kenny Hurtallday.
  2. This is from 1969. The year before the guys from Ween were born. This is so freaking weird. Back in 1992 we didn't have access to old commercials, or I would really believe the Ween boys had seen this before they did Push Th' Little Daisies. Who came up with this? Where did they get the acid?
  3. Ja'Marr Chase just made an incredible run. Took an 8 yard pass play and turned it into a 72 yard touchdown. Insane. It sure doesn't take long to get stuff up on You Tube.
  4. For all the people bitching about players opting out of bowl games - a perfect example happened last night. Now, Corral is still going to be a first round pick and it's likely his draft stock probably didn't actually fall all that much, but this injury initially could have cost him millions. The class of QBs in 2021 is not considered very strong so it probably benfits most of them to be drafted, soak it all in as a backup for a year before being thrown to the wolves, so in that regard this probably doesn't hurt him, but this is why they skip the bowl games. If the NCAA and their fans are going to make every decision about ratings and money money money then they can't turn around and bitch when a player makes a decision about money money money. It's a business move.
  5. Well our school here is producing engineers, doctors and scientists............they have football.
  6. It was a very successful season. Nobody thought they'd get to the playoff for the first time. I hope Georgia wins it all but I know they'll choke.
  7. I'm gonna watch something less depressing. Is "Leaving Las Vegas" streaming anywhere?
  8. Wonderful lady. A trailblazer. When she had a variety show and put a black dancer on it, advertisers threatened to drop out, so she put him on MORE. Cancelled not long after that. She wanted to be a Forest Ranger but women weren't allowed in those days. Not fair and a bad break for her, but we all lucked out for it.
  9. Hey, this season is a massive success already, this would be gravy, but they need to be better quick.
  10. Dont worry about how Michigan's defense starts.............they usually start a little soft.
  11. 2 TVs, man ! Incredible post-Christmas sales going on...................git to it ! (I am surrounded by screens. 2 for my personal PC, 2 TVs, 2 for my mobile recording studio, it's like NORAS in here.......its also why I'm so fat).
  12. What I remember about that year (I think it was 1982) but it was so cold for so long that on a very cold Sunday night a gas main in Sterling Heights exploded. It was along Schoenner between 15 &16 Mile Rd. I lived on the NE corner of 16 & Schoenner. You could intensely feel the heat from the 30 foot flame half a mile away, like standing next to a campfire. There wasn't a lot of houses around it like there is now. Here are a couple of picks from that. It was right around the time we hosted the Super Bowl in Pontiac. January 10th or 11th maybe. Heard the explosion, Heard the whoosh.
  13. You learn a lot, but one of the negatives I had was not being able to commit to a relationship, knowing I could move at any time. Plus the radio pay was lousy, so I didn't get to experience as much as I would have liked. A lot of little things about certain areas that were interesting. Like in late summer/early fall in Albuquerque they roast chili peppers on the side of the road in these big metal tumblers over an open flame and it smells incredible, much better than they tasted. I would buy a little bag to just put in my car just for the smell, drive to a burger place and put some of the peppers on the burger. Also with Albuquerque, one thing I never knew was how high up it is - it's a mile high downtown and I was about 800 feet higher where I lived. If you go up to the top of Mt. Sandia they have a restaurant, it's about 8,500 ft. Two drinks hit you pretty hard. Not my picture, but this is what they look like
  14. High temperature in Winnipeg today will be 18 below zero. That's the high..............
  15. My Under The Radar Radio Picks Of The Year for 2021 (In other words, stuff I liked for the show but nobody else probably likes) 1. GOAT GIRL - On All Fours 2. ARLO PARKS - Collapsed In Sunbeams 3. ZOLAS - Come Back To Life 4. PARQUET COURTS - Sympathy For Life 5. KINGS OF CONVENIENCE - Peace Or Love 6. GEESE - Projector 7. SNAIL MAIL - Valentine 8. THE HOLD STEADY - Open Door Policy 9. INHALER - It Won't Always Be Like This 10. POND - 9 Honorable Mention to Lindsey Buckingham's self-titled album, which didn't really fit our general format, but it's a great album. Under The Radar Radio can be heard Sunday nights at 7pm on Ann Arbor's 107one (annarbors107one.com) and The Q-94-5 in Grand Rapids (thisisqmusic.com) and if you're in New Zealand you can hear it on 107.5 AndHow.fm (I can't remember what time it airs when you translate it to our time, probably in the middle of the night).
  16. I'm thrilled for her. Back when she was getting started she would come by our station whenever they were touring. She'd always have Phil & Tim and they're all still together to this day. Extremely nice people.
  17. Very excited for this new season of hockey. Oh wait, we're still in the same season. Feels like they haven't played in a year. I blame Lord Stanley.
  18. I think the Mariners cared.
