It's no secret that Vikings TE Kyle Rudolph loves professional wrestling. A few weeks ago he rocked some sweet Undertaker-styled cleats. Nick asked him about his favorite wrestlers of all time, and asked him to name his top five. Some on the list may surprise you, and he even includes a fun story about how Matt Cassel thinks that the Hulkster may actually be Kyle's dad.
As we walked into work this morning, we noticed something kind of strange. Our promotions director's office was wide open, as was the 'prize closet.' Just like the name says, it's the (usually) locked closet that houses all the prizes we give away. Everything from free key chains and magnets, to concert tickets and autographed guitars. However, this room also houses things that NO ONE WANTS. Like a t-shirt from 2008 promoting Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull or a toilet-shaped mug trying to get you to watch the 2011 canceled NBC sitcom "Outsourced." We sent Ross into the closet to find the dumbest crap we could.
When you bring a new life into the world, you have to deal with more than intense labor pains and a splatter or placenta and yucky womb water, you have to actually figure out what to name this new creation. Lately, people have been taking some liberties in what they name their babies, and they have to make sure that the name given them doesn't also give them a lifetime of torment and ridicule. Good luck parents, it's only your child's happiness that hangs in the balance...
If the zombie apocalypse were to happen tomorrow, or any kind of civilization-ending event, then the few who know to survive, would only be the ones who know how to make it. As we take a closer look at our skill set, we realize that if the end of the world were to happen tomorrow, we'd all be screwed. Unless someone needs: a commercial recorded, help handing out bumper stickers, or really want to meet Zach Parise. Our only saving grace, believe it or not, may be Ross... God help us.
A study showed that relationships are more successful when the woman is way more attractive than the man. According to Nick, good looking men are more likely to go after under-attractive women to make themselves feel better. Nick is positive that Ali has missed out on sexual opportunities with good looking men strictly because she's too good looking for them.
Some forward thinking concert goers came up with the genius plan to bury a bottle of vodka on the grounds of a music festival, weeks before the concert, with the intent of digging it up during the show. That way, they would be able to drink for free during the concert. That is absolutely genius. Nick had a similar experience in junior high after he and some friends stole some booze from a few houses. The only problem is that the concert guys had Google Maps and GPS, while Nick's friend who did the burying totally forgot where the treasure of alcohol was buried. Or, at least, that's what he claims.
Tomorrow, at 8:20, we're going to have lawyer Ryan Pacyga in-studio. And, since he is a strong legal mind, we're going to put him to work for you...for free. He'll settle your petty gripes that you may have with a friend, co-worker, or loved one. So think something up, and call us tomorrow.
The third season of Chris Hansen's show Killer Instinct starts up next Tuesday on Investigation Discovery. We talked to him a little about his show, what it's like interviewing convicted murderers, and why we still get weirded out when we're asked to 'have a seat over there.'
When radio stations get desperate for ratings, they will send their DJs on some crazy trip for a broadcast or make them do some crazy stunt. Nick and his partner at the time were forced to do a radio show while submerged in a water tank. It was either that, or be buried alive... And still do a show. Man, are we glad we're past that kind of nonsense.
We've all had that total brainfart behind the wheel. Some of our incidents have been a little more public than others. Ali ran into a mailbox, Ali slid off an on-ramp, Ali... You get the idea. Nick and Josh have their own fair share of incidents with vehicles too. Some more believable than others.
Today, Nick divulged a bit of embarrassing information. When he was a kid, he had the strange urge to eat lipstick. He thought that the color, look, and the way it came out of the tube, reminded him of candy. Maybe a Push Pop. Anyway, this desire has never really left him. He also has a strong desire to be part of a lipstick party. That is not strange at all.
We all get scarred by some traumatic childhood experience that gives us a fear of something that we have no reason to be afraid of. Whether it be spiders, cotton balls, or the dark, we all have that one thing that truly terrifies us WAY more than it should. We had listeners tell us that they were afraid of the Chuck E Cheese animals, dry sponges, and caterpillars. Randy is afraid of the dark and Josh has a friend that is scared of left turns... He's all right now.
We debated which you would rather do, luge or skeleton. Nick said that he would much rather bomb down an icy track head first than balls first. After all, even though he doesn't use it that much, he still appreciates his junk... Just like a classic car. He may only take it for a few drives a year, but he still wants to take care of it. Reminiscing the good times together, and polishing it on occasion.
When a lady friend of Nick's told him a totally unbelievable sex story, he did the one thing we never thought he would; he believed it. But given his own track record of unbelievable sex stories, he tends to give them the benefit of the doubt. So, if you have a fake or real sex story you want someone to believe... Tell Nick.
A week ago, Wappel sent our show into a spiral after completely misunderstanding a bit we did on the air while he was on vacation. He never saw or heard what we did, first hand. He heard the wrong information through a friend. And, instead of calling us to ask about it directly, he took his friend's word for it, cussing us out via text, and not responding to any calls or texts. Now, in the end, Wappel realized his mistake and apologized. But that didn't stop us from putting him out on a bridge anyway. The misunderstanding made us think of two more episodes that got way out of control. One involving former Twins catcher AJ Pierzynski, and one involving Stephane Veilleux.
After last year's masturbation fundraiser, we learned that Josh and Nick don't whack off very often. It was only recently that Josh was told by a doctor that his lack of self pleasure might actually be clinically a problem. The doctor told him, in order to keep his prostate healthy, he has to box the clown a little more often.
NFL Hall of Famer Michael Irvin told TMZ that he would like to start a celebrity MMA tournament. Nick asked Josh and the Brotherhood which celebrities would they like to see in a MMA fight. And, how the texts rolled in. Nick qualified with one thing. They couldn't have any background in anything athletic. How we didn't immediately think of the girl on girl bouts is beyond us.
Earlier this week, we were talking about getting into accidents on our bikes and skateboards when we were kids. One piece of information that slipped by all of our memories, was Josh saying that he had lost a couple of teeth to a crash. He gave us the whole story, including how one of his Chiclets took the long way… Out his butt.
Don't let TV fool you; when you or your wife/side action have a baby, it will not be a cleanly event. There is more blood, gore, and disgusting scenes than you can imagine. Both Josh and Ross have had front row seats for this event, and while Nick is mystified as to the desire for a father to be a part of the birthing process, Josh is just glad that the woman is there to support her man after the nine months of childbearing he has gone through...
When you're expecting gusts, you might pretty up our house a little more than usual. One study even showed how people will fill their fridge with healthy food, to make themselves not look like a disgusting slob. Nick has no such reservations. He hasn't cleaned out his oven since the Reagan Administration, and still cooks up a couple of frozen pizzas in there every week... Right beside the charred remains of a few dead mice.
