Probably Uncalled For Episode 47 Wrap-up

So, according to the Migration Policy Institute, Los Angeles is on the verge of becoming a "Third World city," is it? Hmmm. That actually kind of makes sense in a lot of ways. Many Third World countries have booming movie industries, thriving sex trades, and rampant, bizarre celebrity worship. You know...people like Michael Jackson. Yes, sir...that sounds an awful lot like Los Angeles, and as a bonus, L.A. is bigger than a lot of Third World countries, so if anything..."honorary" status?...

Said it on the show, and it bears repeating here in print- Royal Caribbean International, and its Chief Executive, Adam Goldstein, are douchebags of the highest caliber. Stranding a family of five in a foreign country with no passports, and in just their fucking pajamas, because their 7-month-old daughter had a cold? Adam Goldstein, the ship's so-called captain, and the ship's so-called doctor oughta to be made to take a round-trip from Miami to Havana and back in their pajamas on a fucking raft.

If you should happen to agree with us, and want to share your displeasure:

There is simply no defensible reason at all...ever...period...for not even having enough food to feed our troops in Iraq. For all the dozens...maybe hundreds...likely thousands of reasons this bullshit quagmire is probably set to stay for another twenty years, this one is particularly shameful. I'm not sure I'd rather commit suicide than starve to death, and hopefully, I'll never get the chance to find out, even in the name of whatever the hell the Bush administration wants to spin as "patriotism" this week. War is hell, and especially so when the devil in the detail is the jerk-off solely responsible for getting us into this hot mess in the first fucking place.

When it comes down to Red Bull or Mamajuana Energy, WWE wrestler John "Bradshaw" Layfield's energy drink product, I'm going to have to go with JBL on this one. Not that I do not enjoy a Red Bull and Jack from time to time, but I hold firm to a body count principle, and right now, Red Bull is far enough in the lead (and Mamajuana Energy has no trial of dead leading to their doors) to make it hard not to declare Layfield the winner here.

Japanese whiskey? The best in the world? I'm going to remain skeptical for the time being...I do wonder, however, if all the flags in Scotland flew at half-mast when the awards were announced. At any rate, kudos to Suntory Hibiki, Yoichi chief blender Tetsuyi Hisamitsu for their Yoichi 20 years old, the best whiskey in the world.

Phone rape? Shut the fuck up with that noise? If I talk someone over the phone into giving themselves a black eye, am I guilty of assault? Hardly. Must be a great and ponderous dumbass population in Tunisia. For fuck's sake, never even knew Tunisia had a cell phone tower...

What do you get the guy who has it all? How about a brass-knuckled bagslap if he spends $300,000 on a watch that simply tells him whether or not it is day or night? Magnificently needless extravagance, something the geniuses at Romain Jerome should be proud of.

Remember everybody, starting Wednesday, May 21, 2008, Probably Uncalled For will being airing at its new night and time - Wednesdays 8pm Eastern/5pm Pacific! Back in Prime Time, baby!!!

Own A Piece Of Lockdown PPV History

If you saw the post-Lockdown edition of TNA Today, you know Don West couldn't wait to take a pair of bolt-cutters to the Six Sides of Steel!

According to Don, he's nearly finalized his huge Lockdown commemorative special, which will feature actual pieces of the steel cage that Samoa Joe won the World Title in!

Not only that, but according to sources Don actually has possession of Joe's towel from the Pay-Per-View as well.

Don is promising to unveil the Lockdown special in coming weeks...and he promises it will definitely be one of the coolest commemoratives ever!

ppdingles question of the week was this...

Do you think Randy Orton will walk out of Backlash still WWE Champion?

My answer is yes I do. He has overcame the biggest odds that were against him at Wrestlemania 24 and I think he can do it once again. Of course you will have to tune in this coming Monday night to see if I am right.


This week in Wrestling History is now a Blog exclusive!!!!! With more History!
I will still be covering a few history moments but the rest will be in a blog each week and this weeks blog is already up for you to enjoy and relive those wrestling memories.

The official Parent of the year award is underway and here are the two first nominees...

Cutting-Edge Parenting: Sheriff's deputies in the Orlando area were on the lookout in March for two women who, according to surveillance video from the Magical Car Wash, had pulled into a stall and deposited coins but then proceeded only to scold and then pressure-wash a small child.

Aron Pritchard, 27, was convicted of child endangerment in March in Hutchinson, Kan., after a jury declined to accept his explanation for his girlfriend's kids, age 2 and 3, being burned in a hot clothes dryer. Pritchard said he was just trying to show them they could have fun without necessarily spending money.

Throughout 2008 I will be keeping track of idiots like these and select a winner later this year. This should be fun.

Well that's it for this week, hope to see you all this coming Monday night for an all new episode and remember that this Monday is the Free Rein Media SUPER SHOW. Inside the Squared Circle at 7pm Eastern and then at 8pm Eastern is an all new episode of Probably Uncalled For.

See you at ringside!

tonight, on an all-new Probably Uncalled For

Join us on the show tonight, as Dr. Tom and ppdingles will be discussifyin' some seat belt laws (in Iraq?!?), truck nutz, water torture (oddly enough, in Wisconsin, not Iraq), motorcycles, out of control kids, James Bond, Adolph Hitler making a comeback in a comedy? (does Mel Gibson know about this?), the impending satellite radio monopoly, the weekend box office, a little King of the Ring analysis from last night's Monday Night Raw, and all other manners of sick TBA.

Coming up tonight on an all-new Probably Uncalled For live broadcast

Come join Dr. Tom and ppdingles tonight on an all-new Probably Uncalled For, as they will delve into new and excitingly dumbass gun laws, blind people and hybrid cars, a great excuse for really dumbass behavior from the Ohio State Police, immigration, video games, suicide, the weekend box office, tons of stupid celebrity news, and even pirates...pirates!...how can you say no? See? You can't. 7pm Eastern/4pm Pacific. Live. Catch you there...

a preview of Tuesday night's all-new Probably Uncalled For live broadcast

Here's a glimpse of what we're working on for this Tuesday's all-new episode of Probably Uncalled For...the sudden need of Congress to protect the blind from the scourge of hybrid vehicles (wasn't aware there were that many blind folk buying or -gulp!- driving hybrids...), new gun laws that just don't seem to make any sense (we're pro-gun here, and even we question the logic of these bills...), government-as-usual with some TSA and immigration news, and a veritable all-star celebricraptastic battle royal, with Perez Hilton, Artie Lange, Vanilla Ice scoring his first hit (allegedly) in years, and to throw a red-ass beatdown on all of them, and maybe even the weekend box office, Chuck Norris. (admit it, we had you at Chuck Norris, didn't we?)

Catch you all there. Live. Tuesday night 7pm Eastern/4pm Pacific. Phones and chat room open the duration of the show, so dont' be shy (God knows you haven't been lately), or be shy, what the hell ever...just log on to the show Chuck Norris would probably knock out with a mere disdainful glance, the Greatest Thing Since Sliced Came in Bread Form- Probably Uncalled For!!!

Tonight, on an all-new episode of Probably Uncalled For

Come join Dr. Thomas Keister on the Greatest Thing Since Sliced Came in Bread Form live tonight, as he'll be ranting away with some police dog mayhem, zombies...possibly Mormon zombies, witch doctors, Papa Smurf, Mr T., it's like Hallowfreakinween in April, baby!!! Just for a little normalcy (in so far as it relates to this show), the good Doctor will also have your weekend box office as well as a little somethin-somethin regarding the impending satellite radio monopoly (all here on good ole FREE Internet radio!!!)...LIVE 7pm Eastern tonight, it's bigger than Sirius, a damn sight better than XM, it's Probably Uncalled For!!!

Another great advance in the war on drugs

We travel to California for this one, where the United States Forest Service has coughed up $200,000 of taxpayer monies to buy a pair of unmanned "drones" to fly over national forests to aid in the battle against Mexican cartels that have been setting up shop on the Forest Service's turf.

The drone wars...began they have...

The contraptions will help identify marijuana crops and provide risk assessment to law enforcement agencies before raids are made. The $100k drones feature one equipped with thermal cameras for night flight.

Not that I'm overly thrilled over this news, hearing of yet another waste piled on to the drug war's perpetually running tab, but it is good to see the Forest Service man up a bit. Tired of just hearing about them warn bears about stealing picnic baskets or stumble over the occasional serial killer. Oh yeah, and guarding against forest fires...there's that, too.

Can't wait to hear the story, however, where two enterprising sorts take out one, or both, of the drones. Maybe not in a clever, ice planet Hoth from The Empire Strikes Back-way, but you know what I'm saying.

Man...first we mentioned the possible beginning of the Sith-Jedi wars (in a physical sense) in England, where a guy in a Darth Vader helmet (presumably a Sith) attacked the founder of Britain's Jedi Church...and now, the drones are being deployed...fuck, man..somebody best be getting off their asses and making this lightsaber thing a reality...

More great moments in optimism

Part one...You gotta feel bad for Denise Crews, down in MacClenny, Florida. First, she loses her husband, then, some asshat starts stealing the flowers from her husband's grave! Aw, WTF, man?! What's the matter pal, your skank girlfriend no longer turned on by the panty roses you've been dropping three bucks on here and there?

Fed up, and rightfully so, Crews went to the extent of installing a hidden motion-sensitive camera to try and catch the dickhead at work. Nice try, Mrs. Crews, but damned if he didn't take the fucking camera, too!

Well, crap. Some people have identified an older model pickup parked near the grave, and First Coast Crime Stoppers is taking tips on leads. Here's to hoping they find whoever is doing this asinine shit. In a perfect world, Mrs. Crews, they'd let you smash the jerk's hands with the business end of a Louisville Slugger...

Part two...Then again, I suppose some optimism is more altruistic than others. Over in Washington, D.C., a new plan is being tweaked slightly over concerns that people's rights may be abused. The program? Allowing people to call and schedule an appointment for the police to come and check the house for illegal firearms. The program grants amnesty from firearm possession charges, but not for any crimes committed with the gun.

And yet, somehow, people aren't flooding the D.C. police stations with calls to get a gun search booked? I mean, it's not exactly like a radon check or something..."Yes sir, we just moved into our home, and we were wondering if you could swing through and check for any wayward illegal firearms. We're pretty sure nothing was done with them, but we'd like you to come and get them, just in case." I wanna hear the tape of that conversation.

I can't fault them for trying new tactics in the war on crimes, but if they could only figure out some options that seem a little more realistic...

Every dog has it day...behind the wheel

You know how it is...sometimes, collateral damage just happens. Unfortunate, but true. Take for example Mary Stone, of Ogden, Utah. There she was, just trying to check her mail one day, when all of a sudden...BAM!!! Ran the fuck over by a police dog right in front of her mailbox. Stone suffered a broken pelvis as a result of the accident, and recently settled out a claim with the city.

At first glance, you may find yourself thinking "holy damn, how big was the freakin' dog?," but rest assured there are no freakishly large police dogs layin down the law in Ogden, Utah...at least for now. Ranger, a German shepherd not previously identified as a loose cannon, jumped into the front seat of his handler's Ford truck, managing to knock it into gear. Shortly thereafter was when he met Ms. Stone in the awkward fashion one could expect when the dog's driving a truck.

Little in the way of comment was provided by the city of Ogden or its police chief. Neither the Ogden K-9 officer or Ranger had much they were willing to share, but Stone had a parting shot as she walked away from the accident with $300,000 (as opposed to the $580,000 she was asking for): "I would like to get more...if my car had hit a cop, I would be in jail."

Fair enough. On the other hand, it was a human being that ran you over, was it? I'm sure if your dog ran down a police officer in the same set of circumstances, it would most likely be chalked up as an unfortunate, maybe freakish accident...nothing more. Would you perhaps be happier if the Ogden Police Department busted Ranger to desk duty instead?

That could be interesting, though. Can't wait for the headline Dog collates Man; Police Review Board convened

Tonight, on an all-new episode of Probably Uncalled For...

Come join Dr. Thomas Keister and ppdingles on The Smartest Damn Thing You'll Hear All Week, as they'll be pontificating on some MMA nonsense in Missouri, more stupid crap in the Florida schools, turmoil in Mexico, and the Sith Wars...began they have in Great Britain?...all this, the weekend box office report, some WrestleMania 24, and all the usual TBA you need and crave to get ya over that humpday!
