Real Men of Genius

*Blog*

It's been about two months since my last post, I know, I know, but there's been plenty going on. Well, I wouldn't go as far as to say "plenty", i've been sleepy and hadn't felt like posting. It's as simple of that, but seeing as though I have a lot to say, and Rasha threatened my mother's life, and "kick" with it at 4, I figured it was time to post something.

Apparently 2une In is running "too much" news. Que? I guess "the powers that be" are going to try and incorporate "The Grand Prize Game" into to the show, complete with 10 numbered buckets and some Archway cookies. But if we're gonna do this, lets go all the way with this guys. Let's move Nussbaum to the desk with Todd and Whit, and bring in "Cookie" to do weather. After weather we can have him toss to "Thun-darr", "Captain Caveman", and "Turbo Teen". Let's do away with the 2une In set altogether and put a little platform with a spotlight shining on it and have a monkey with some symbols come out "psssshhhh!!!" us to break. While we're at it, why don't we just stick poor Veronica on permanent "FEMA Trailer" beat. I wonder why I try.

Rasha's Blog:

"What if god was one of us? Does the 4 like one of us? Just a stranger on a bus...."

Actual control room comment from Jared:

"We need an airline hostess coming through the control room pushing a cart"
"Pretzels!! Hot Towels!! Danish?"

In honor of the NCAA tournament, someone at work coined a phrase that I feel should be worked into all of our promos beginning next year:

"MARSH MADNESS!!" "MARSH MADNESS!!" "MARSH MADNESS!!"

But seriously, the Florida Gators brought home a title last night, as if anyone cares. They beat UCLA team into the ground, that beat an LSU team into the ground a few days ago. But to be honest though, the LSU players looked as if they stayed out all night taking in some of that popular INDY night life. Probably hitting up strip clubs until the "wee hours of the morning"

"Hey lil' mama, you know they call me "Big Baby" but I ain't no baby if you know what I mean..."

Anyway, whatever the case, UCLA was just a little quicker and jumped a lot higher, or was just better. We'll see next year. That's if everyone comes back.

Lots of new faces in the news room. It seems like the boss has been hitting up the employee assembly line on the regular lately. I swear, the cast from SNL hasn't changed as much as the faces in that damn news room.

Haven't picked on Ashley R. in a while. What's up Ash? Haven't talked to you in a while. If it weren't for the fact your name is in the "login" box on my computer, the fact that you leave me stories, and all the messages for you on my phone, I wouldn't even know you still worked here.

I went out and picked up a copy of King Kong last week. Was it good? Yeah, it was okay. Was it long? Too damn. Now don't get me wrong, Kong was an extremely well done movie, but someone should have told Peter Jackson, that every just because all three LOTR's were three hours or so, every movie he does, doesn't have to be that long. Kong should have been 1:45, maybe 2hours at the most. I mean, there were parts of that movie that just did not belong and we could have honestly done without. For example, we got to watch Naomi Watts juggle for about five minutes while a very intrigued Kong watched in amazement. Yeah that was a scene we really needed. I swear at one point I thought I saw Smeagol.

I was recently informed that there's been entirely too much "foul language" over the headsets. Damn, that's f*cked up. You know we don't mean nothing by that sh*t. Muthaf*ckas just be playing and sh*t. Bullsh*ttin' to make the time pass. Don't worry, that shit won't happen again. Shit.

Talking in the news room with Weather Dave the other day, and came up with an idea for a song. Here goes nothing....

"Mr. Terry The 2une In Producer"

"Bud Light Presents: Real Men of Genius...."
(Real Men of Genius!!)
"Today we salute you, Mr. Terry The 2une In Producer"
(Mr. Terry the 2une In pro-duca...)
"People wonder how you do it, day in, and day out"
(Bringing viewers news, traffic, and weather!!)
"Without your undying commitment to the show, traffic and weather on the 2's, would hit on the 4's, instead of the 3's"
(We missed the 2's again....ooohhh!!!)
"You tell them to wrap, but instead, the anchors talk for 1 more minute."
(Ignoring time cues!!)
"But like a brave little soldier, you always get 2une In out on time."
(Keep on timin'!!!)
"So master of the control room, you crack open that ice cold Bud Light, because this Bud's for you, because if you don't produce 2une In, the anchors would still be talkin' "
(Is there anybody out there?)

Or something along those lines. Just my .02, take it or leave it....two months later.
