IWS Radio IS Ready for Primetime!!

Happy Friday, Second Day of Kwanzaa, and National Fruitcake Day to one and all, and I hope that
everyone reading this, had a wonderful time celebrating the birth of the Holy Baby Jeebus this week.

I know I did.  I spent Christmas Eve at my brother Marty’s house and my son was actually there, and he had a present for ME.  It’s true!!

It was a Christmas miracle, and really?

The entire evening there was quite fun, because unlike many families, me and my brothers and sisters, get along pretty well.  But you know what I told my son Ryno Christmas Eve because I found it to be somewhat disturbing?

When I am with my brothers, even at six feet tall, I am the shortest Mahoney man in the room.  Hey, I know I was the baby of the family, but Mom and Dad, could you have spared an inch or two for me?

Wait…That didn't sound right, did it? Oh well, and anyhoo…

I, and certainly Jayman as well, hope that all of you gorgeous miscreants had a delightful Christmas.

Religious affiliation (or not) and/or whatever type of observances that you may or may not have had aside, Christmas is a great touchstone and catalyst for having fun with friends, family, and the ones whom you love.

Unless of course you send a very dear friend a picture of hot dog to their Facebook page as a token of Christmas joy and they end up deleting your wiener.  That right there is just plain, hurtful bullshit, but I digress, but I may discuss this issue further this Sunday on the IWS Radio Show, which by the way…

Is going PRIMETIME!!

Dat’s right Bitches!!  IWS Radio is going to be airing LIVE THIS SUNDAY from 8-10 PM ET, and probably will have that same time slot for at least 10-12 weeks.

Y’see?  The President and CEO of Blog Talk Radio Alan Levy approached Jay and I about going to a primetime slot because in his words…

“Primetime in the winter on BTR really slows down.  It has no pizzazz.  We need you guys….We need the IWS Radio team…We need you guys to be the straw that stirs the BTR primetime drink.”

So…I begged Drive-By Mikey to allow me to work the Beer Mine seven days a week, so that I would be sober at 8 PM ET on Sundays in order to do the show and help Alan Levy out.

Mikey put up a struggle, but he acquiesced and said to me…

“As much as I enjoy working Sundays, if you do an 8 PM show on a day that you are off, you won’t be able to dial in to the switchboard let alone talk coherently on the air.  Don’t get all gushy and thank me, but Sundays are all yours from now on Matt-Man.”

And there you have it.

So…Join us LIVE this Sunday from 8-10 PM ET as we go primetime and look back on 2013 and look ahead to 2014 during the IWS Radio 2014: Bigger and Stoopider show.

Me, Jay, Guy Ahnyurdyck, Rev. Moneymaker, Drew Peacock, Dana, Malcolm Eckstein, and a host of others will be on hand to celebrate the New Year and Kwanzaa!!

Cheers!!

Hola Y’all! Yeah okay, so I’m supposed to be blogging and instead I’m rolling through #RejectedYankeeCandles on Twitter faster than Taylor Swift goes through boyfriends. Seriously, at the pace she’s going she HAS to get down to me eventually, right? In fact, I’m guessing it happens in 2013. Late in the year, but it happens. It will be a glorious two weeks. Okay, 10 days.

Man it sure has turned cold here in God’s Country. I couldn’t get warm tonight so decided to put on a pair of socks. They helped but one of them had a hole in them so they weren’t as effective as they could have been. Anyway, we were originally told we would get up to 10 inches of snow. Instead we got less than two inches and it was gone by noon. What a huge disappointment. Just like me.

So how was everyone’s Christmas? That’s great. I had a pretty good Christmas but I’m glad it’s over. I like Christmas but by the time I watch “A Christmas Story” then open presents, then make Christmas dinner and basically eat until I hate myself, I’m ready for it to all be over. I would have taken down the tree today but I was too lazy.

Between college football bowl games, the NFL over the weekend and all those NBA games on Xmas Day, I watched a butt-load of sports the last few days. This caused me to post this over on the Tumblr Blog (with apologies to George Carlin) …

“I’m a scrappy, five-tool impact player who can take over a game and score from anywhere. I’m a tough, hard-nosed, old-school winner who can flat out play. I’m the consummate team player who can come off the bench and provide a spark by bringing a lot of energy to the game and get stronger as the game goes on. I’ve silenced my critics by being a great chemistry guy in the locker room and a go-to guy in the clutch who knows what it takes to win and if I’m even I’m leavin’.”

You know, I might just give up watching sports in 2013. I’ll have to wait until after the BCS Championship game of course. And, there’s the Super Bowl, don’t wanna miss that. I’ll still watch the NBA too but that’s probably it. Maybe I’ll watch Arkansas in the NCAA men’s basketball tournament if they make it. And the Four if Duke isn’t playing in it. Of course, I’ll want to watch the Master’s golf tournament and the US Open and British Open, but that’s all the golf I’ll watch. So yeah, that’s pretty much giving up sports. Well, until college football season rolls around again next fall.

Oops! Well, the old Midnight Easter Standard Time deadline just passed. I think this is the first deadline I’ve missed since we started this blog. Not that anyone will notice because I’ll just manually set the time so everything will look normal. And Matt-Man is old so he’s already asleep and won’t see this until tomorrow. So that’s cool.

Well, it’s time to find a hot picture of Taylor Swift and get this all uploaded so I can go to bed and not sleep. That way I will be tired and cranky when I go to Walmart tomorrow. That’s the best attitude to have when going there.

In other news we had yet another fun and charming episode of I’m With Stupid yesterday. We gave a Christmas recap, talked about Boxing Day, Kwanzaa and how much Cincinnati sucks (Hint: It sucks A LOT.) and all kinds of other stuff. So, check it out right here …

Listen to internet radio with Im With Stupid on Blog Talk Radio

Happy Kwanzaa

Prior to Christmas, Jayman had a kick-back and one on one with Santa Claus, so as today marks the beginning of Kwanzaa, I am fortunate enough to have a jovial smack-down with Santa’s black (oh, excuse me, African-Americanized) counterpart, Bantu Claus…

Matt:  So, Bantu Claus, if that is your REAL name…Ha Ha…what be up n‘shit?

Bantu:  Whatchoo mean, what be up n’shit?  What the hell kinda vagary is dat?

Matt:  Sorry…I was trying to speak your speak, and be all down with your sub-culture n’shit.

Bantu:  Well stop it fool; you sound silly, and knock it off wif da “n’shit” shit.  That sounds foolish, pedestrian, and lactose-intolerant.

Matt:  Yes it doe---wha?  Never mind…and I am sorry, but anyhow…Kwanzaa is known as the holiday of the first fruits; why is that?

Bantu:  Hell, I don’t know.  Some know-it-all black ass professor from UCLA came up with that.  Wanted to give us black folk and our African heritage a reason for da season or sumthin.  First fruits mah ass…Hell the only fruits in Africa is the grapefruit of hate and the apple of angst…

Matt:  So ya think he should have called it something else?

Bantu:  He should have referred to Kwanzaa as, first heartaches.  Stupid tenyuhed-ass nigga!!

Matt:  So do you, like Santa Claus, distribute gifts all over the world?

Bantu:  I try, but it’s a little more difficult for me.

Matt:  How so?

Bantu:  See Matt-Man…Santa gots a sled powered by magic reindeer, and all I gots is a broken down ‘64 Buick Electra Deuce and a Quarter powered only by overpriced gasoline and an over powerful desire to gets out of my spoused-up crib one night a year, so I only do the forty-eight contigatory states.

Matt:  Oh I thought Kwanzaaa was picking up in Canada as well.  You don’t go there?

Bantu:  Do you even know how much it costs to get a passport these days, whitebread?

Matt:  Well, no, no I---

Bantu:  Sheeeeeet…It would take me four weeks of dumpster diving for beer cans in YOUR dumpster to get one.

Matt:  Wow, that’s a lot.

Bantu:  “Wow that’s a lot.”  Is that you all got to say boy?  I’m sorry…I’m sorry…I’m just pissed.

Matt:  Why?  What’s wrong?

Bantu:  Well, my brethren and sisteren claim to want presents that reflect our Africanicity, so I show up with dictators, mosquito nets, and toy boy soldiers.

Matt:  And they don’t appreciate that that?

Bantu:  Well Hell No…All they want is a six pack of Steel Reserve and a bleach blonde with a big ass.

Matt:  So typical…and the bruthas probably only appreciate it for a minute.

Bantu:  Damn right my friend, and that is why I brought you some 211's and a hot babe, because I know you will love on both for hours.

Matt:  Holy Cow, brutha Bantu…It’s a Kwanzaa Miracle!!

Bantu: Word to your mutha, and Happy Kwanzaa, Matt-Man!!

Cheers!!
