the following takes place between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m.

Happy Hour — The Show That Never Ends will again be on break tonight so that Jacque can get her New Year started off right with a healthy dose of Kiefer Sutherland, which is how everybody should kick off their new year.

Look for Happy Hour to make its triumphant return in coming weeks.

We’ve missed you and we can’t wait to come back. We hope you’ll be with us when it’s time!

ho ho ho! (note: title is NOT drinking game eligible)

Happy Hour — The Show That Never Ends is taking tonight off. Even though the Titans won and Jacque’s still got all of her teeth, we’re very busy around the studio getting prepped for the trip to West Virginia.

While we’re gone, you’ll have your chance to catch up. If the family gets to be too much, there will be a very special pre-recorded Happy Hour Christmas bonanza that will play while we’re gone. We’ll be back next Sunday night for our “It’s the End of the Year as We Know It (and B-Dub is probably pissed off)” special.

For those of you traveling, please be careful. We’re really thankful for the audience we’ve built over the last few months in our new setup and I know we’re really excited about what 2009 will bring. This show wouldn’t mean anything to us without you. If we were interested in hearing ourselves talk, we’d just set up a tape recorder at home and play it when we’re bored.

So, to all, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, have a rocking Kwaanza, Eid your heart out and enjoy the solstice. (I think we covered everybody … eeesh.)

up tonight on the show!

Ah, kids, only 10 days remain until Christmas Eve. Shopping? What shopping? Well, you still have time to order things online, so why not do that AND listen to us at the same time tonight?

In no particular order, here’s what we’ll be tackling tonight:

* So, we’re sorry your cable box blew up and set your house on fire, but we’re still going to need the $88 for it
* Think you could eat on $1 a day? These people did.
* Hey, let’s go to Google and plan our trip on the D.C. Metro … oh, wait.
* Here’s one black list we all can enjoy — movies that didn’t quite make the cut in 2008. And they say Hollywood has no original ideas!
* Attention Plaxico Burress: “The cat did it” IS a viable excuse
* So the KFC chicken cutlets took a bath in the sink. Wait till you hear what we did during our food service days.
* Stupid criminals, stupid humans, stupid news of the week
* Your calls … anything goes, just dial. It’s 956-790-8255.

We’ll see you at 8 p.m. tonight … we’ll likely have a giveaway or two, so make sure you’re tuned in. Our Big Ass Prize Box is spilling over and we need to make room for new inventory that makes its way here weekly. And, as always, you can hang out with other kids as cool as you in the chat room (click the link on the site. It’s that easy!) or send us a message through the little Chatterbox you see on the page.

Come on. Don’t be the last one that knows what time it is.

up tonight: the rundown

Here’s what to expect (well, maybe) for tonight’s show:

* Jacque got her first real tree, but it brings up the debate of real vs. fake. Much like boobs, everybody’s got a position on this one.

* OJ Simpson: It’s disappointing that the search for the real killer’s going to be on hold for about, oh, nine years or so.

* Jacque’s probably going to be out of a job soon … Seems every newspaper in the country is falling apart. Why? Should I kill a local blogger? Should I just start blogging more?

* Gift Giving in a recession, worst holiday gift ideas, gift ideas for men.

* Men are dying out. I can’t say that bothers me.

* As always, the ever popular weekly roundup!

Of course, we’re always ready for your calls. The number to join in is (956) 790-8255 or you can interact with us in the chat room (click!) or the little chatterbox on the page!

It all gets started at 8 p.m., so we hope to see you there.

Oh, and Dallas sucks.

taking the night off!

Greetings, kids! We’re taking tonight off so we can fully sleep off this turkey hangover from Thursday. We’ll be back live and in charge next Sunday night, so how’s about you clear your schedule now for three hours of programming? You’ve got us for two hours followed by the Internet’s BEST music show — The Setlist — right after. That’s a good way to spend your Sunday. 🙂

Keep it tuned to Radio360Talk.com — and go check out the new programming if you haven’t already!

tonight on the show: ladies’ night!

It’s Ladies Night here at Happy Hour — The Show That Never Ends. Well, for at least part of it, anyway.

Join Jacque and host of the Setlist Paige tonight as B-Dub comes in at the beginning but then slinks away to attend to some “business” and continue to softly mourn the defeat of his football team at the hands of a Wrangler Jeans spokesman.

Here are a few things we’ve got on the plate for tonight, but who knows which way this will end up? We’re definitely taking it light tonight because it’s been a long week, we’re about to hit a holiday and everything goes into insanity overdrive from this point forward (Can you say family visits, pumpkin pie, turkey and grandmas with digestive problems? And that’s just the last time Jacque went home.)

* You think your job is stressful? Get a load of these. (It’s no surprise that coming into the holiday shopping frenzy, we feel for our brothers and sisters in retail).

* Was there REALLY a Captain Morgan? Or Jack Daniels? (If only we could manage the in-studio research)

* Eating that will kill you. No! Just kidding. These myths are dying to be destroyed.

* You ever pass a road sign and think, “Hey! That would be a great band name?” I do. Every day. And after seeing this list, it’s a good idea I’m not involved in picking band names.

* Note to people who take nudie pics with their cell phones: Don’t leave it at McDonald’s.

* The traveling stripper pole. Who says the economy’s in the toilet?

* The Roundup — Your look at the week’s odd stories.

* Your calls! (Hey, liberals! This is a B-Dub free week! It’s your chance!!!)

You can send us a message, also, through the little chatterbox you see on the page. And if you’d like to actually be where the action is, click on the “chat” button and hang out in the room with the rest of us.

We’ll be live at 8 p.m., so we hope you can make it. Yes, we know that ’24’ comes back tonight, but that’s why TiVo exists. Nobody loves Jack Bauer more than me, and I’m putting him on hold.

up on tonight’s show!

We’re back live this week, and we’ve got a hodge podge of a show put together. (Mostly because almost all of key prep time was done in the midst of the Titans going 10-0, but I digress …)

* Hey, crappy parents … Nebraska’s calling. (Come on … when is it too much? If your kid has a license, a hospital drop-off is NOT OK.)
* The debate over the Pledge of Allegiance is heating up in … Vermont. Which, in this time of the year, is the only thing above freezing up there!
* The unhealthiest city in the world is … Huntington, W.Va. They’d be around to care, but they’re at Stewart’s having chili dogs and root beer.
* Excuse me, President Obama? You’re gonna have to put the BlackBerry away until … 2017.
* Sirius-XM … that’s not all it’s cracked up to be. Raise your hand if you didn’t see that one coming. Anyone? Anyone?
* Girl upset that her pierced-up husband can’t take her to prom. Pierced-up husband.
* In sports, Jacque thinks ending a game in a “tie” is a cop-out and is not surprised that our kids are all turning out to be wussies.
* Much, much more … A news stack about six inches high awaits.
* Of course, your calls … what would it be without one?

The call-in number is (956) 790-8255. You can also reach us through the chat room on our site or by sending a message to us in the little chatterbox you see on the page.

We’re live at 8 p.m. only on Radio 360 Talk.com! Hope to see you there!

No live Happy Hour tonight!

Hey, kids. It was only a matter of time before we disappointed you, so it’s good that it’s early.

No, this isn’t because B-Dub is licking his election wounds. It’s more because the hostess is a little under the weather and is under heating pad and blanket to get back to 100 percent for the week.

But tonight, enjoy a blast from the past and make sure to stick around at 10 for a BRAND NEW SETLIST at 10 p.m. with your host Paige!

Happy Hour will return live next week, so enjoy the night off from the drinking game and actually get to work on time NOT hung over in the morning. We’ll return next week!

live tonight!

First, we’d be amiss here at Happy Hour — The Show That Never Ends to point out that Wednesday is B-Dub’s birthday!! We’ll take the opportunity tonight to welcome your calls wishing him another year on this earth to give us a drinking game we all can enjoy.

Otherwise … on with the show!

* Your Vote 2008 Extravaganza in which we promise to not talk about candidates! Well, I shouldn’t say promise. I just don’t plan on it being on the list.
* A pharmacy in Virginia is refusing to sell contraceptives of any kind. Hrm. Well.
* The Supreme Court this week will hear a case from our friends at the FCC about “fleeting expletives.” Good thing B-Dub isn’t on network TV.
* 16 Ways to Effectively Manage Your Anger (note to listeners: I’d get the B-Dub Drinking Game refills by this point)
* England wants kids to take sex ed. Play ball!
* Sorry I gave you an STD. Hope this post card takes the edge off.
* Ask A Guy: Six Things Chicks Should NOT Do on a First Date (note to listeners: Holy cow, if you haven’t refilled for the B-Dub Drinking Game, do so now.)
* This week’s news roundup!

We’ll be kicking in the chatroom at our site — click here to enter the fracas — our you can send me a message through the chatterbox you see next to this post. As always, if you want to jump in the conversation, give us a call at 956-790-8255.

We’ll see you tonight at 8 p.m.!

up tonight on the show!

It’s spooooooooky Sunday here at the Radio Ranch, so that means we’ll kick off tonight’s edition of Happy Hour — The Show That Never Ends by talking about Halloween. We’ll hit on a variety of Halloween-themed topics from the cheap ass costumes we had as a kid to when did this become a holiday for grownups? And because I’m a communist and I hate Halloween, this should be fun.

Also, we’re going to talk about Epic Failure Ashley Todd, but you may better know her as the absolute IDIOT who kicked her own ass and carved a backwards B on her grill all in the name of being a good Republican. There may be some “Tips for Kicking Your Own Ass” included. You’ll have to tune in to see.

We’ll follow that up with a look at a lawsuit in Tennessee involving Starbucks, hot cups and how NOT to drive while consuming hot liquids.

Also, negative feedback on eBay could get you sued for libel. Voicemail messages left for people who sell on Craigslist are just funny.

Drinkers are just happy, smokers are just coping.

A full roundup of news, your calls, and a whole lot more!

The number to join in is (956) 790-8255, or you can send us a message through the chatterbox on the page or hang out in our chatroom on our Web site. It’s all live tonight at 8 p.m. at Radio360Talk.com. We hope to see you there!

(Also — make sure to stick around AFTER the show for this week’s brand new edition of The Setlist, hosted by Paige! The show will feature some great music from the best in indie artists she can find. You won’t want to miss it!!)
