- Dick Clark?s Rotten Eve
(10mb)
Wed, 07 Jan 2009 18:10:55 +0000
Today I’m talking about my New Year’s eve. I was watching Dick Clark’s rockin’ eve hosted by Ryan Seacrest. It was fairly horrible. The interesting thing is when I was growing up Dick Clark was for the younger people and Guy Lombardo was for the old folks. Now Dick Clark is for the older folk [...] - Sex, Drugs, and Christmas (10mb)
Wed, 31 Dec 2008 22:13:50 +0000
Today I come to you with the demented slant on Christmas music. This was caused by hearing the same 14 songs over and over. I mean I love Andy Williams, but not for four weeks straight. It turns out that while rock music is about Sex Drugs and Rock n Roll, Christmas music is the [...] - Greedy Santa (12mb)
Mon, 08 Dec 2008 20:25:43 +0000
I was very surprised when I went to the mall and saw there was no line to sit with Santa. Santa looked pretty good (probably an out of work financial consultant), and I thought “Let’s get our picture taken.” It would be interesting to see how things have changed since you sat on his lap [...] - She Said Yes (14mb)
Wed, 26 Nov 2008 21:55:27 +0000
Today I talk about me popping the question last week to “The Nurse” and she made me very happy by saying yes. Today I talk about the absolute guys view to engagement ring shopping.

Wed, 12 Nov 2008 16:54:21 +0000
Today I talk about something I keep on seeing. I keep seeing divorced parents using their children as a tool to get back at their ex. This is truly amazing when I think about it. You are so focused on your own grudge, and your hate of your spouse (deserved or not) that you will [...] - Calling in Some Favors (14mb)

rent a car bulgariaToday I talk about some interesting “coincidences” that happen as my old car died (199,009 miles ) and I got approved for a car loan (I couldn’t even get a best buy card a few months ago). And I needed a reliable car as I drive about 400 miles a week. Luckily a [...] - Sex with Mom And Dad (13mb)
Tue, 07 Oct 2008 00:42:56 +0000
I’m not making this up. MTV has a new show “Sex with Mom and Dad” where Daddies little skank has been knocking boots with her boyfriend without protection so we bring in Doctor Drew to get her to talk about the details of her sex life with her parents. They are so proud that she’s [...] - Fixing the Credit Crisis (9mb)
Wed, 01 Oct 2008 00:47:58 +0000
My New Name is AIG So the US Government is broke. Here is a solution: Instead of giving 85 billion to greedy pigs on wallstreet, why not give it to everyone who is an adult in the US? (301,000,000 people). Give the government 30% (so they get 25,500,000,000 back immediately). This would leave everyone with 297,500 to [...] - I?m No Jock (14mb)

Being a sports fan in Cleveland is a painful experience. We have the Cleveland browns who start every year losing every game.

My sister in law teaches second grade. Did you know the parents of students that get flunked can veto the flunk and send them into the next grade? It’s true. Why? Because nobody wants to make children feel bad. There is no accountability. She had 17 out of 27 students last year that didn’t speak [...] - The Return of the Tie
Tue, 26 Aug 2008 16:41:03 +0000
Back in 1992 I was a copier technician. We wore shirts and ties. Then we went and ripped apart copiers and got toner all over them. It was wonderful.

Fri, 22 Aug 2008 14:03:29 +0000
This show originates from www.betterdave.com Words are fun. I want to know who gets to decide when a word is officially a word.

Fri, 08 Aug 2008 13:42:08 +0000
My Cousin’s memorial service was people explaining how Shawn was “being Shawn” and tale after tale on what a great friend he was, and how he just didn’t care for rules. He definitely would color “outside the lines.” So as I walked away from the service I thought, “I could stand be to a bit more [...] - Dave Jackson For President (6mb)

Tue, 13 May 2008 20:46:28 +0000
Today’s show has the F word it. You’ve been warned. This is one of the “weird” episodes where I just wonder why things go into my mind at certain times.

Tue, 22 Apr 2008 16:03:05 +0000
I’ve noticed that when you go to just about ANY restaurant these days, if its someone’s birthday they bring the whole kitchen crew out to sing their “Hey It’s Your Birthday” song. I’ve also noticed that after about the 27th time of hearing this song the performance needs some tweaking. I think this whole thing was started [...] - Rubber Band Man (16mb)

Mon, 31 Mar 2008 04:48:55 +0000
So my trust went left of center this weekend as I let some small circumstances get the best of me and get “in my head” making me act like someone I don’t want to be. I’m not very proud of myself. In the end, my “suspicious” attitude showed “The Nurse” how much I TRULY cared, and that made [...] - DRAMA STEW (21mb)
