3/31/11-Here's what we talked about this morning:

  • A couple of really weird criminals this morning. One guy tried to steal a bag of seafood from a grocery store, so he stuffed it in his pants. That leads to a new expression "is that a shrimp in your pants or are you just happy to see me?" Then, a guy in Florida threw a cheeseburger at another car. He told the cops later that the other driver had angered him and if he has to go to jail, that's okay.
  • Oprah's last new show will be May 25th. She most likely will take some time off and then announce a new show on the OWN network, her cable network.
  • Brett from Menard's in Sheboygan has some great deals on things for indoors and outdoors (if it ever warms up.) Check them out here.

  • Web Only Content: It's your morning Chuck. I think Charlie has worked his way out of the news cycle, so this will be our last morning Chuck until something big comes along. It seems like the bloom is off the rose on Charlie's upcoming tour. There are lots of unsold tickets and those that remain are being sold at less than face value.
  • How did you get out of bed this morning? Here are some tips to make it easier.
  • The annual Copper Hill Cheese Rolling competition is in danger after being canceled for the second consecutive year. Last year, it was safety concerns, this year, entry fees.
  • How are you doing in your office March Madness pool? If you picked VCU and Butler to make the final four, you are either a psychic, a liar or should immediately head to Las Vegas.

3/18/11-Here's what we talked about this morning:

  • Web Only Content: It's your morning Chuck. Charlie Sheen has added twelve more dates for his live show. Maybe he could perform at Brat Days. Also, Charlie took some shots from eighties comic icon Andrew Dice Clay who said Charlie was "the biggest loser in the world." Of course, Dice has pretty much been off the radar for twenty years, so he appears to be using Charlie as a way to get attention.
  • A bank robber in Dayton Ohio robbed a bank and then fled to his getaway vehicle of choice---a city bus. The man was apprehended at the next stop.
  • On American idol last night, it was so long to Karen. The contestant from Milwaukee, Naima Adedapo, was in the bottom three but survived.
  • How are your basketball brackets this morning? If you picked Louisville to get to the elite eight like I did, it's time to find the paper shredder.

3/12/11-It's your morning Chuck, weekend edition: TLC is working on a special about Charlie Sheen. Meanwhile, Charlie has been busy himself. He's planning a road tour and he's talking about Major League III. Technically, there already was a Major League III. Finally, Charlie is a sweet sensation in New Jersey.

3/10/11-Here's what we talked about this morning:

  • Web Only Content: I thought I'd keep the Charlie Sheen news limited to the blog today simply to give your ears a rest. If you care to read on, by all means, it's still interesting. It looks like all this time he's spent on the Internet has cost Charlie...in dollars. Rumors are he is now cash poor. Charlie also hopes Rob Lowe will replace him on "2½ Men", but given the fact that Lowe is under contract to another show ("Parks and Recreation") that is unlikely to happen. What would celebrity rehab's Dr. Drew Pinsky do with Charlie Sheen? He recommends a 5150 psychiatric hold, which allows police to take individuals into custody for a 72-hours who may be considered a danger to themselves or others. I would assume Charlie is a danger to Chuck Lorre right about now. Finally, William Shatner thinks Charlie is perfectly sane. Maybe Charlie will do a guest shot on Bill's terrific interview program on Biography Channel, "Shatner's Raw Nerve."
  • ABC has picked up a second season of "Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution." The show, which features the British Chef trying to help make the school lunch better. Last year, he worked with the cafeteria staff in Huntington, VA, who fought him every step of the way. I'm not big on reality shows, but somehow my wife, Princess, got me hooked on it. It's pretty compelling TV, although I think it would be better served being on cable.
  • Who is the richest man in the world? Carlos Slim has the fattest wallet. He's worth $74 billion dollars thanks to his Mexican telecom empire. As usual, Bill Gates was second and Warren Buffet was third.
  • A dog who sensed her owner was about to have a heart attack is up for a national award. Celli, a fifteen year-old Lab mix kept after her owner all day prior to his heart attack, then barked and ran for help.

3/3/11-Here's what we talked about this morning:

  • Teen signing sensation Justin Bieber recently cut his hair. When he did, he put the clippings on EBAY where they promptly went for $40,000. The money will go to charity. Gee, I got my hair cut yesterday and I'll bet my clippings are still on the floor. Both of them.
  • A police officer in Houston is being investigated after he lobbed a tear gas canister in the middle of a barbecue cook-off. This would make a great show on Food Network as Guy Fieri and Bobby Flay try to prepare barbecue while Ted Allen and Alton Brown lob tear gas at them.
  • If brushing your teeth has become a bore, try some of this bacon flavored toothpaste. It's $8 a tube. For that kind of money, I'd just assume put some bacon bits in my Crest.

3/1/11-Here's what we talked about this morning:

  • ABC has announced the latest cast of "Dancing With The Stars." Here is the list.
  • Charlie Sheen has taken to the airwaves to defend his position regarding the shutting down of his TV show, "Two and a Half Men." He's been on NBC, CNN and tonight he talks to ABC. One wonders given all of the conversation if Charlie will ever work again.
  • Greg Anderson joined us for another edition of "Money Talks Tips and Traps." Today's segment was about tax planning. You can find all of our segments here. Just click on the Lake 98.1 logo for the podcasts.
