Does your town have a nickname? Better yet, does your rival town have a nickname? Here's a list of city nicknames from people who listen to our show!

The funny part is, our blogging tool turns each "quotation mark" into some unknown and random symbol!

I was moving my office the other day and I found this letter. I had been written up for throwing a broken chair off the parking garage. Funny thing, after I got written up, the video of the chair-tossing got so many views on our website that corporate called wanting to know what amazing thing we did that got so many hits! LOL!

What did YOU do at your work that maybe you shouldn't have?

Allison and I went to see "The Crazies" last weekend. And this was in the lobby, so we had to poke our faces through the holes and get some dude to take a picture.

By the way, "The Crazies" was awesome. If you liked "28 Days" or "The Hills Have Eyes", you'll love it.

So this is pretty exciting! I got a library card today! Carson and I went to the Chan library to do some research for his Cub Scout stuff. He had to look up what happened on the day he was born, the day he turned 5, and on July 20, 1969...do YOU know what happened on July 20, 1969???

And while we were there I thought, "Hmmmmm, I haven't had a library card in forever!" So I got one! It may sound dumb, but I was kind of excited about it. Books are good, mmmkay? Example of someone who doesn't read books? Monique, the actress/comedienne. Someone asked her about her saying "God Bless us, everyone" at the Oscars the other night, and the dummy actually had no idea that is a line from "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens. What? What adult hasn't heard of that? Oh, I know. Entertainers. Most of whom dropped out of middle school to pursue their dream and are less educated than most 14 year olds. This is why you should never listen to entertainers when they tell you how to live or tell you how to vote. Because they have money, privilege and no education. Do YOU have money, privilege and no education? Do you have ANYTHING in common with Bono, Sean Penn or Gwenyth Palrow? No, you do not. Neither do I. (But I did love Sean Penn in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High")

So when a dumb-****** celebrity tells you how you should think about global warming, what kind of car to drive, health care or who to donate your money to, firmly whisper to yourself, "They can kiss my a**!" Because they really don't know better than we do.

Oh, and very importantly, doesn't "Hot Tub Time Machine" look amazing???

Carson and I went to Spirit Mountain in Duluth on Saturday. It was awesome! Sunny and warm, around 40 degrees! Okay, the warm weather made the show a little sloppy, kind of like skiing in mashed potatoes, but it was still awesome!

Check out an action video! Ignore the parts where I fall once or twice!

Yay! It's Friday! Gotta love the weekend!

Carson and I are going to Spirit Mountain on Saturday. Watch this page later for action photos and videos! We get to go up on a bus so we can sit and play DS together all the way up and back. Just love time with my boy!

So after this weekend, I'll have completed four weeks of P90X. If the whole "P90X" thing bores you, I'll save you the time and trouble of reading this. Instead, watch this 6-second video.

Cuz now I'm gonna give you a little review of one month of the P90X.

NOTE: I'm not paid to talk about it at all. I paid for the whole program out of my own pocket so I can say whatever I want and if they don't like it they can suck it.

I saw the infomercial over a month ago and was really tempted to order it cuz like most people, I'm always trying to lose weight. I keep saying I'll do it and then I lose 5 pounds and gain it right back. And I say I'm going to get in shape and I don't. I mean, I run marathons and half-marathons, but there's a big difference between "running" a marathon and "competing" in a marathon. My grandma can "run" a marathon, but even competing in your age class is a tough challenge.

When I saw the commercial on TV, I mentioned it on the air the next day and so many people called and texted to say they loved it that I thought, "What the heck?" I ordered it off the internet that morning. The whole time, Crisco was trying to save me from myself. "Dave," he said, "Don't waste your money. You'll never use it."

Part of me believed he was right. But I also knew I couldn't order it and talk about it and then drop it a few days later without everyone giving me a rash of s**t. When it arrived on a Friday, I started it the following Monday. I knew if I waited, I may never get to starting it. I'd heard too many people say theirs was still under their bed in the shipping carton.

I was kind of nervous because I heard it was SO hard. And it is. In fact, the first few days, I was yelling, "You're kidding me!" at the TV every few minutes. I honestly could NOT keep up with what they were doing. But I also knew that if I wasn't being challenged, it wasn't working. So I stuck with it. I couldn't keep up with their pace at all for the first couple weeks. It wasn't until the end of week three that I could finally stay with them MOST of the time!

People ask if they should get it and it really depends. If I hadn't talked about it on the radio, I would have probably slacked off by now or never gotten started. But I know Steve, Lena, Crisco, John and YOU would never let me forget it if I didn't! If you order it, e-mail me and I'll e-mail you back and keep your ****** accountable for the $139 dollars you spend on it! daveryan@kdwb.com

I've lost 11 pounds on it, not from P90X alone, but combining that with eating less and cutting out most alcohol. I still have drinks on the weekend, but gone are the two tubs of wine I'd drink every night before bed.

If you're thinking about getting it, I say do it on three conditions:

1. You need to be in decent shape before you do it. If you're more than 20 pounds overweight or really bad with cardio, it's probably not for you.

2. If you are sure you can start it right away without waiting till "after spring break" or "after graduation" or whatever will let you put it off.

3. If you promise yourself you'll follow through on it, even on days when you'd rather take a nap or watch "The Biggest Loser."

It takes a little over an hour a day, and you can take one day a week off.

It's hard, but it's not THAT hard.

What sucks about it? Not much really. The guy who leads it is really motivational, but you get the feeling he stands naked in front of his mirror and flexes a lot. And there's a definite vibe that he's sleeping with every woman in the DVD. But big deal. He's not wearing a wedding ring!

So there's my P90X update. If I had something else exciting going on in my life, I'd write about that.

One thing that was kinda cool...Some Girl Scouts came by to take on Steve and Crisco in "Smarter Than a Girl Scout". The girls won. They also want to let you know that you can visit a Girl Scout Cookie Booth and buy a box of cookies to be delivered to someone who's homebound with Meals on Wheels. Meals on Wheels is ALWAYS looking for volunteers. Info at meals-on-wheels.org

Have a great weekend!
