Producer Steve — Tue, 19 Jun 2012 19:47:59 +0000

A few days ago, Michigan State Representative Lisa Brown made headlines all across the country because she was barred from speaking on the House floor in Lansing. This came about because, during a debate about anti-abortion legislation, she used the term word “vagina” a couple of times. This apparently didn’t sit well with everyone, so [...]

Reason #4,358 That Producer Steve Knows He's Getting Old

Producer Steve — Mon, 14 May 2012 13:14:47 +0000

Well, it happened once again. The cold, wrinkly grip of Father Time has grabbed me and reminded me of my place in this world. This weekend, I ran the Fifth Third River Bank Run 25K. I’m not new to the running thing and have done a bunch of marathons and other races before. Bottom line [...]

I know that this is going to make me sound like I’m about 80 years old, but what the hell ever happened to good customer service? Over the past few weeks, I’ve been trying and trying to simply get a tree cut down in my back yard, to no avail. Listeners to the show and [...]

Producer Steve's Confessions of an Impulse Eater

Producer Steve — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 16:33:41 +0000

Impulse eating. I know I’m not the only one that does this. I’d venture to guess that nearly everyone does. I think it goes hand-in-hand with emotional eating. Had a rough day at work? Eat! Had a good day at work? Celebrate by eating!

I’m definitely a foodie. Bu

FBHW Give an Intern a Makeover [VIDEO]

Producer Steve — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 15:02:55 +0000

We have an intern on the show who we refer to as Thurman Merman, because of his striking resemblance to the character of the same name from the movie Bad Santa. He has the curliest hair we’ve ever seen. Last week while talking to him, we started to wonder what it would look like if [...]

The WWE is in town this week for an event, so a few weeks ago, we were approached by some of their people to see if we wanted to interview one of the guys to promote the event.

Eric Zane, Human Slingshot! [VIDEO]

Producer Steve — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 12:24:21 +0000

I’ve said it before. I’m not a huge sports fan. I was a really big fan when I was a kid, but as the years went on and I got older, I got less and less interested. Now, don’t get me wrong, I still enjoy going to sporting events and watching games on TV, but I just don’t get in to it nearly as much as I used to

Producer Steve's Goal in Life: Be Immortalized as a Bobblehead!

Producer Steve — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 13:59:05 +0000

I have few goals in life. In fact, I have just three.

1. Set the world record for the collection of the most barf bags. Why? Why not!

2. Never lose a game of Dizzy Bat Baseball. So far I'm 1-0.

And 3. I want to be immortal
