Jimmy Two Times is a character from 1990’s Goodfellas played by Anthony Powers. Henry Hill: [narrating] "And then there was Jimmy Two Times, who got that nickname because he said everything twice, like:
(Jimmy Two Times): 'I'm gonna go get the papers, get the papers.' "
I’ve been told that I am dressed like an extra from the film The Gangs of New York. My daughter has her pre-school Christmas recital. I kinda dressed up a little – but didn’t shave.
We are happy the high-speed chase to which we were providing play-by-play ended without apparent physical harm coming to the young lady.
Laurie was cutting the rug at our station’s Christmas party last week. The three of us who went to the party thought that the bar area was too smoky.
What is the difference between the way the Cardinals treated Jim Edmonds being traded and the way they are treating Scott Rolen wanting to be traded? (This was a hypothetical, so don’t send JC any theories.)
We had Dave Green talking about the December issue of Saint Louis Sports Magazine. Their first Christmas party is tonight & our own JC will receive an award as “Best Contributor.” Dave told us that Jim Edmonds said he will still have a connection to the area even though he was traded. See the magazine & locations to get a dead tree copy at www.stlsportsmag.com.
John wore too much cologne/aftershave today. It’s a Banana Republic product.
We weren’t invited to the new casino opening tonight because we don’t gamble enough (we supposed, but we don’t know).
Christmas songs we played today:
(not) Lynyrd Skynyrd doing “Rudolph, the Red Nosed Freebird” (actually a local band called Rocket Park), (not) Sintara doing “Away in a Manger.”
And, by the way, if you, the listener, want to hear or get a hold of these Christmas songs, then we can’t help you – unless you listen to the Christmas Eve Showgram.
Today for our 12 Days of Christmas it was the Just for Him and Her package - prizes for a couple in “lurve.” Bill won a prize worth over $6.5K by knowing:
People who get tipped for a living are good tippers when they go out on the town.
Suicide rates are 40% lower, up to & including December 26th – they go up after the holidays are over.
A new study says that half of people who have HDTV don’t have it hooked it up correctly. They then convince themselves that it is a better picture.
Most News Year’s resolutions failed last year, just as they will next year. Duh.
See Miracle on 34th Street (1947) with Maureen O'Hara, John Payne, Edmund Gwenn and directed by George Seaton and NOT Miracle on 34th Street (1994) with Richard Attenborough, Elizabeth Perkins, Dylan McDermott and directed by Les Mayfield.
Saint Louis has a geographical predisposition to have a white Christmas only 13% of the time. This year it’s unlikely, unless you’re north of Hannibal.
The JoY was “The Chipmunks: Behind the Music.” The F4 featured Christmas songs, tickets to Rain at the Fox Theatre in March & from the early 90s Australian TV show “The Money or The Gun” and “Stairway to Heaven” by The Beatnix, an Australian Beatles Tribute Band.
The Vault was "Litte Hooter's Girl" in anticipation of JC's appearance tonight. Maybe Rudy will show up to find his next ex-wife. Finally, when Oprah visited Dave when the segment was over he walked her across the street to her Broadway production of The Color Purple.
Don't
Do Anything Stupid,
