Fore! ...Wacky Austin Weather.

My friend Ritchie just posted this on my Facebook page. About an hour ago in this crazy Austin weather!

All American rejects on Jimmy Fallon tonite...

Really like the new All American Rejects CD. It's one of the top five CD's in my car right now.

Down-sizing!

Amazing covershot of Valerie Bertinelli on the front of the new People shows Eddie Van's ex downsizing from a size 14 to a size 8! According to the story Valerie weighed in at 172 on a 5' 2" frame at her biggest. i know that Celebrities get touched up on these magazines, but she looks amazing for 48....or 38...or 28!! Valerie can still rock it.

Belinda Carlisle gets the heave ho!

My take on Dancing With The Stars last night...

It's got to be a bit of an ego hit to be one the first celebs to be tossed from DWTS and last night Belinda Carlisle drew the short stick with the judges.

Jewel may not be dancing, but she's still on the show. Last night she got to sing "Over The Rainbow" from her new album, which, of course, had nothing to do with "dancing!"

Melissa from The Bachelor is a lock to go the distance on this show, her boyfriend Ty Strickland is still camped out in the audience cheering her on too.

If only this was TV...

Our producer Cassiday can not just come to work dressed "normal" for ANY holiday. St. Patty's day around here is never boring on the B&C Show.

Happy St. Patrick's Day with a great John Mayer song

Lyrically this Mayer song nails it when it comes to fall-winter-spring relationships. I think I'm going to blast this song on the way home from work tonight!

Tyler Florence on the B&C Show!

If you're a fan of the Food Network, you were excited as we were when Tyler Florence dropped by the B&C Show today to stir it up! Tyler was in Austin for the day for quick promotional run to HEB Central Market Stores on North Lamar and in Westlake to pimp his new books and new line of Organic baby food called Sprout. This guy has way too much going on with two new books (Stirring The Pot & Dinner At My Place) a wine store, videos, kitchens, etc., plus a wife and a kid! Tyler lit up our phones and gave a way multiple autographed copies of his books and...what else, baby food! This guy had more energy than any guest weve had in the studio in years.

Crazy college classes....for real.

We talked about this on the show this afternoon. A listener called in from Southwestern in Georgetown) called "Midevil Beast Stables" LOL!!

These are real courses at some major Universities around the country.

The 15 Strangest College Courses In America:
15. Arguing with Judge Judy: Popular 'Logic' on TV Judge Shows
(University of California, Berkeley)

14. Underwater Basket Weaving (University of California, San Diego)

13. Learning From YouTube (Pitzer College)

12. Philosophy and Star Trek (Georgetown University)

11. The Art of Walking (Centre College, Danville, KY)

10. Daytime Serials: Family and Social Roles (University of Wisconsin)

9. Joy of Garbage (Santa Clara University)

8. The Science of Superheroes (University of California at Irvine)

7. Zombies in Popular Media (Columbia College, Chicago)

6. The Science of Harry Potter (Frostburg State University)

5. Cyberporn and Society (State University of New York at Buffalo)

4. Simpsons and Philosophy (University of California-Berkeley

3. Far Side Entomology (Oregon State)

2. Myth and Science Fiction: Star Wars, The Matrix, and Lord of
the Rings (Centre College, Danville, KY)

1. The Strategy of StarCraft (University of California, Berkley)

My pick to win Dancing With The Stars...

Shawn Johnson is the chick to beat on DWTS, although I do think Melissa (Bachelor) Rycroft will make it close. OK, can we save the next 45 weeks of build up now, and declare the winner? Yeah, I guess not. That is a complete Reality TV Show fantasy for me though. Give everyone two shows. Vote off half the contestants after the first show. Makes a second show a real finale and kick off everyone but two couples after the first hour...then let the final two couples go at it for 60minutes!

New Star Trek May 8, 2009

Check out the exclusive trailer link here. part of me wants to make fun of "Trekkies" and part of me wants to see this flick. Not going to stand in line at mdnight though, sorry.

Last night on Jimmy Kimmel, Jason, America's most hated bachelor talked about why he flip-flopped back to Molly. OK, Molly? Really. Forget the whole arguement about it being wrong to give one girl a ring, then blow her ego out of the water on national TV. The bottom line is that Melissa is WAY hotter than Molly. This Jason guy is an idiot! And, by the way, Jason said that Molly did know what was up before the show last night because he was contractually able to break up with her by phone before dropping the bomb live on ABC in prime time. Nice guy.

Getting barreled over.

Over the weekend, I met some interesting people at the Austin Art Wine Party downtown during the afterparty at Mellow Johnny's and learned about the cool art project called Barrels Across Texas. Old wine barrels you see in wineries are now on display at many areas merchants, wine bars, and restaurants around Austin. Painted by local and international artists these barrels will be on a big display at the Long Center, April 17, then they'll be auctioned off after the Hill Country Wine & Food Festival in late April. If you want to see some of these great original pieces of art go to www.barrelsovertexas.com for a look at the barrels and the artists behind them.
