I still think the Dallas Girl's varisty coach got screwed!


We talked about on our show today and I'm still fuming about that Dallas High school Varsity coach getting fired for not apologizing after his girls team beat Dallas Academy 100-0! http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/latestnews/stories/012209dnsposhutout.40d72ee.html
Why?! does it say somewhere in the rules in Dallas varsity basketball that you can't win by 100 points? Would this every happen if the "boys" b-ball team won 100-0? Initially, the winning coach, Micah Grimes said his team winning by 100 was "regretable" and would look for a future solution to prevent this from happening again, BUT, because he wouldn't apologize to the other team in an official statement, he was fired! Why? The same thing practically happened 9 days ago when the Lady Jaquars of LBJ beat Lanier HS 107-11!! Here's the box score quarter by quarter!
LBJ 107, Lanier 11
1 2 3 4 OT T
Lanier 2 4 3 2 — 11
LBJ 35 27 22 23 — 107
Above is a team pic of yourrrrr Lady Jags! What's wrong with playing hard until the final buzzer?! Go Jags!
Peace,

Do you have a girl brain or a boy brain? Pretty cool.

I took the test and here's the results...40% female, man I have serious gender issues! I'm getting Bridget to take this test and we're going to talk about it on the show today.


Your Brain is 40% Female, 60% Male



You have a total boy brain

Logical and detailed, you tend to look at the facts

And while your emotions do sway you sometimes...

You never like to get feelings too involved

You won't find these CD's at Waterloo Records...hopefully!



10 Worst Celebrity Albums

Forget sex tapes, sometimes a CD is the most embarrassing thing a celebrity can release.
10. The Return of Bruno by Bruce Willis

Remember when the hard-to-kill action hero moonlighted as a blues singer. Know what would give us the blues? A 28-year old doofus marrying our hot ex-wife.

Sample Lyric: “Keep talking about the president / Wont stop air pollution / Put your hand over your mouth / When you cough / That’ll help the solution.”

———————————————————————————–

9. My World by Ron Artest

After Ron Ron’s angry debut sold only 343 copies its first week, he officially became the NBA’s worst rapper. Shaq is off the hook.

Sample Lyric: “Matt Lauer, up on NBC. You look like a girl don’t talk to me.”

———————————————————————————–

8. Mojo Priest by Steven Seagal

Think The Glimmer Man is the worst thing Steven Seagal ever attached his name to? Then you haven’t heard this 2006 album. Apologies are in order for this washed up action star-turned-environmentalist. How many trees were destroyed to make his acoustic guitar?

Sample Lyric: “Someone took me to a restaurant and I had to eat something fast / I ordered me some chicken / They gave me alligator ass.”

———————————————————————————–

7. Wicked Wisdom by Wicked Wisdom

As Jada Koren, front woman of Wicked Wisdom, Will’s wifey, Jada Pinkett Smith, screeches over brutal hardcore metal. Emphasis on the brutal.

Sample Lyric: “You fear me I fear you / We have no idea why that’s true / Except the fact someone told us to.”

———————————————————————————–

6. How Could It Be by Eddie Murphy

Call this a missed opportunity: A Randy Watson and Sexual Chocolate album would have done Jamie Foxx numbers. The only positive to come out of this collaboration between Eddie Murphy and Rick James was a Chappelle’s Show sketch 20 years later.

Sample Lyric: “My girl wants to party all the time. Party all the time. Party all the time.”

5. David Hasselhoff by David Hasselhoff

While never a pop star in America, the Baywatch boss claims his pop songs help bring down the Berlin Wall. He also eats hamburgers off the floor of Vegas hotel rooms. When he’s drunk. And has his daughter videotape it.

Sample Lyric: “When life is getting to me / I’m sad and gloomy/ All I have to do is play some rock ‘n roll.”

———————————————————————————–

4. Here to Heaven by Jamie-Lynn Sigler

Hot actress (with mob ties) warbles her way through her first (and only) album, Here to Heaven.

Sample Lyric: “Its one thing to ask why do we break up/ Have you ever wondered why it is we fall in love?”

———————————————————————————–

3. Prime Time by Deion Sanders

After succeeding in two professional sports, Deion was convinced he could do it all. He was wrong. His Hammer-lite rap single, “Must Be the Money,” was corny, unoriginal and disgustingly ostentatious. But hey, at least he didn’t go bankrupt.

Sample Lyric: “Diamond Rolex, with ‘gators on my feet / I got two pair for every day of the week / My hair is done, my fingernails too / Six buttons down and I don’t know what to do.”

———————————————————————————–

2. Baby Woman by Naomi Campbell

Hot model (with anger issues) warbles her way though her first (and only) album, Baby Woman. The record’s failure proved she should stick to what she does best—like beating up maids.

Sample Lyric: “I want to know how to separate love and tears.”

———————————————————————————–

1. Let’s Go Bang by Jennifer Love Hewitt

Hot actress (who sees dead people) warbles her way though five, yes five, albums. The standout, however, is the subtly titled 1995 release, Let’s Go Bang. Of course, like nearly every other American actor-turned-singer, she’s big in Japan.

Sample Lyric: “Let’s go bang / I wanna go bang / Let’s go bang / I wanna go bang.”

Diane Sawyer DRUNK?

New Internet Virus: Heads up!

The latest attack is a worm called Downandup, Downadup, Kido!, or Conficker (all the same thing), and it primarily seems to be being delivered via infected USB drives.

How's it work? By tricking you into running the virus by modifying the way "autorun" works when you plug in a drive. Look closely at the screenshot above and you'll see two entries for "Open folder to view files." The one at the top is a phony entry that actually installs the virus on your machine... but of course it's the default selection that pops up when you plug in a drive. Once installed, the virus spreads like crazy via a separate flaw in Windows networking system (now patched, so be sure to run Windows Update if you haven't lately) and can quickly infect a whole office. F-Secure has more analysis on the clever way it tricks you into installing the malware yourself.

How bad has it gotten? Estimates range from 3.5 million infected in the first four days after it bean spreading to 9 million impacted... and gettng worse. By now I figure the numbers could top 15 or 20 million.


Your best strategy for avoiding Downandup? Turn off AutoPlay/AutoRun on your computer (with Windows XP, TweakUI is the easiest way to do it). If you do see an AutoPlay dialog box like the one above, just close it and eject the disc or thumbdrive; browsing the drive manually for individual files should keep you uninfected, but you're best off not using the drive at all. Has this happened to you? I would love to hear from you, or call the show at 512.390.5947 when we're on later today from 3-7pm. Thanks for listening! Carey

Top 5 most dangerous sports for your kid.

If you're a nervous mom or dad when you kids gets old enough to pick up the sports gear and starts playing sports you might want to know about the Top 5 Most Dangerous Sports for Kids. Are you ready?
1. Basketball
More than half a million kids went to the ER in just one year with injuries sustained playing hoops. Damage to the anterior cruciate ligament, or ACL, is a common injury and any sport involving twisting, jumping, pivoting, squatting, or making sudden stops puts kids at risk. Proper coaching is a must.

2. Bicycling
Yes, that favorite pastime sent more kids—485,669 to be exact—to the ER than football. Wearing a helmet greatly reduces risk as does educating children about the dangers of riding in traffic.

3. Football
This sport sent more than 418,200 kids to the ER. Sports injury statistics vary based on methodology, and the Center for Injury Research and Policy found football to be the leading cause of sports-related injuries among kids.

4. Soccer
The ball is soft, but the sport can be dangerous, with about 175,000 soccer-playing kids seeking aid at an ER. One culprit is portable soccer goals, which should be securely anchored to the ground.

5. Baseball
Today’s kids train hard and hit the ball hard, which is why some 155,000 Little Leaguers ended up in emergency rooms. Children should wear proper protective gear and be taught how to safely slide into bases and other fundamentals. With all warm-weather sports, heat exhaustion is also a threat.

And "hockey" didn't make the list? Wow.

Swearing in goof up.

OK...I know everyone was nervous and all that, and yes, I'm a Barack supporter...but come on, the whole swearing in thing is 2 minutes long..rehearse it maybe once before you do it in front of 5 billion peeps! Oh well.

O.K. So I'm not a big "strip Club Rock song" guy, I usually prefer the singer-songwriter finese of Matt nathanson or the explosive Power Pop of a Keane, Jimmy Eat World, or U2...but I dig this track by Theory Of A Deadman! And...I'm blogging about it because we're talking to lead singer Tyler on our show Friday afternoon at about 4:45pm. Tyler is a cool guy and a friend of the show, so check out the interview. See you the radio. Peace, Carey

There's a new addition to Miniland at Legoland California, but it will be there only from Friday, Jan. 16 through Memorial Day.

I discovered a great B&B in Fredricksburg!



I decided to get away for a weekend in Fredricksburg for New Years and stumbled onto this really cool Bed & Breakfast called The Cameron Inn. It just opened and is completely renevated with new construction, modern convienences, and the location is killer, a few feet off Main Street with walking distance to everything! This is the best B&B I have ever stayed in, no kidding. The website is http://www.travelmainstreet.com/cameron-inn/This place is perfect for an overnight on the way to Enchanted Rock. Let me know if you get a chance to check it out. Stay in the "Blue Room!" It's the best.
