Good Morning Everyone
As we open the show Wease mentions the ice skating rink outside the building, and asks Pauly if he skates. He says he tried once and had no idea how to do it. Pauly is also afraid that his current "out of shapeness" would lead to injury if he falls.
Tomorrow is the 24 hour show, and the guys are discussing at what point they should start drinking. Pauly and Wease think midnight might be the right time, but are still debating. We're just lucky Wease has a disease where he can talk for 24 hours straight.
Tools with sports
The big story of the day is the NY Jets quaterback situation. Sanchez has been benched, but Tim Tebow has been bypassed. Greg McElroy has been named starter and Wease feels bad for Tebow. What has happened to last years playoff hero? Why not give him a shot? Maybe Jesus would help if Timmy was starting.
Knicks and Nets play tonight.
Kansas City Police released their reports on the murder-suicide involving Chiefs linebacker JOVAN BELCHER. It sounds like Belcher and his baby-mama Kasandra Perkins were fighting a lot about money. Also . . . Belcher had a secret girlfriend, and not long before he murdered Perkins, he texted his girlfriend that he was going to shoot Perkins if she didn't leave him alone.
SU basketball coach Jim Boeheim is taking heat from some circles for using the press conference following his 900th career win to discuss gun control. We're on your side Jim.
Did you see the story of NHL superstar Sidney Crosby going incognito to play goalie in a ball hockey tournament? He was disguised by a goalie mask, but we think it'd be hard to recognize him even with out the mask.
We asked Tools how old he was. Before we give you the answer, take a look..
Johnny is 47 years old. Pauly said Tools looks 42 to him, and we all agree that he looks younger than his real age. I think his hair from Dr. Quatella had helped with that.
Redneck News (from The Times of Wayne County)
-The Wayne County Office of the Sheriff reported the arrest on Saturday (12/8) of Clifford R. Mayo, of Naples following an investigation of a fight that occurred at the Hydration Station on Ridge Road in Sodus back in September. It’s alleged that Mayo, a predicate felon, was involved in a physical disturbance with another customer in the store and during that fight, Mayo seriously injured the man by gauging out his eye, causing him to lose all vision in the eye. It was presented that both men had been drinking prior to their encounter at the store. Here's the mugshot:

-With TV shows like "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo," "Duck Dynasty," "Bayou Billionaires" and others making their way into the hearts and homes of millions of Americans, it appears that the so-called Southern stereotype has found its place in the popular mainstream. According to TMZ, America's "obsession" with backwoodsmen and women is so pervasive that it is no longer just limited to PG-rated shows. TMZ spoke with a rep for GameLink.com, who says the company has seen a 250% increase in Southern, white-trashy porn titles since 2010 when the redneck reality shows began to take off. We're for hillbilly porn if the girls look like this:
..against it if they look like Honey Boo Boo's mom:

Vanessa Hollingshead
Vanessa is one of the four great comedians performing at the Auditorium Theater on New Years Eve for the "First Night Of Funny". Wease loves her history, growing up with a hippie family. For a while she lived in a commune with her parents, where she planted pot, milked goats, picked apples, etc... Turns out her father was leading researcher of psychedelic drugs, and was the man responsible for introducing LSD to Timothy Leary, The Beatles, Keith Richards, and many more. Her and Wease then bonded over music, drugs, comedy, etc...
Cliff Levingston
We're happy to introduce you to the new coach of The Rochester Razorsharks, Cliff Levingston. Wease was worried that Cliff wouldn't be as much fun to talk to as our old buddy Rod Baker. Wease shouldn't have worried... Cliff is awesome, telling GREAT stories about his time in the NBA playing with Michael Jordan on the great Bulls teams, coaching in the Mid East, playing with the Harlem Globetrotters, etc...
Wade Barrett
We continue our string of talking to people bigger than us, going from 6'8" NBA player Cliff Levingston to 6'7" WWE wrestler Wade Barrett...
Wade is in town with WWE Smackdown, which is at the Blue Cross Arena tonight. Even though Wease isn't a wrestling fan, he dug Wade's personality so much he wants to go to the show. He was a regular guy who didn't stick to his bad guy character, and told us stories about his background as a bareknuckle brawler, the injuries he's had, the movie he made with Colin Farrell, and much more.
Creepy Autographed Album
The copy of "Double Fantasy" that John Lennon autographed for his killer Mark David Chapman just hours before the murder is up for auction. Last time it sold it was for over half a million bucks. Would you want it, or is it just too creepy?
We also talk about the best shows on TV...
Hitfix.com has released a list of The Top 10 TV Shows of 2012. To make it, they had several dozen TV critics list their Top 10 shows of the year . . . and they used those responses to create a final, master ranking.
--Only ONE of the Top 10 shows airs on a major, broadcast network. That's NBC's "Parks and Recreation". The Top Seven are on CABLE . . . and the remaining two are BRITISH shows.
--Here's the overall Top 10:
1.) "Breaking Bad" (AMC)
2.) "Homeland" (Showtime)

Ask Wease
We get a letter from a listener who is concerned about his roommate looking at kinky ads in the Craigslist "Casual Encounters" ads where couples are looking for single guys to join them, and if he should worry about shenanigans happening under his roof, and the orientation of his roommate. Should the author of the letter confront his roommate about the findings? Amazingly, the letter writer calls in, and Wease tries to talk him into bringing the roommate up to the studio to talk to. Wease thinks anything anyone tries to do to get laid is fine.
We also get an email asking if Wease thinks it's ok for the man to stay home and watch the kids while the wife is the breadwinner. What is this, the 50's? Of course it's ok. Anything you can do to survive in this economy is cool.
Next question for Wease... What is his favorite tattoo on his body. The answer is the great portrait of his mother on his forearm. A followup is "how much money has Wease spent on his body art". He didn't know the answer to that, but took the opportunity to complain about people who choose the cheapest place to get a tattoo... sometimes you should pay for better quality.
What's Wease's best Christmas memory. He says he doesn't have one, but is glad he doesn't have to schlepp down presents from the attic and wrap them at 2am only to have the kids rip them open in 5 minutes.
Wease ends the show with the pot calling the kettle black by complaining about the illegal parking people do at the malls. Wease has been known to create his own spots in the past, but now likes to sit in the parking lot and watch other folks break the law.
Tomorrow/Plugs
The 24 Hour Chistmahanakwazika Spetacular to benefit Monroe Community Hospital is tomorrow. 6am Thurs- 6am Fri. Tons of guests including BJ Shea, Opie, Spephanie Miller, Jim Kelly, Elvio, and many more. We'll also be doing Geezers vs. Douchebags, Ask Wease, movie reviews, etc... That's just the planned stuff. It's nice to be important, but more important to be nice. See ya.
