News and Commentary with KleeShay Johnson

Holaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Today we have a very special guest blogger. One of IWS Radio’s newest correspondents KleeShay Johnson is here to review some of the big stories happening right now in the world….

Well hey there folks, KleeShay Johnson here spoutin’ off for IWS Radio.

Well, it looks like the world has gone mad this week. Russian separatists have allegedly shot down a Malaysian Airlines 777 with 295 poor souls on board. This is just unacceptable. These separatist rebels have to stand up and take responsibility for their actions. They can’t hide behind a bunch of lies and excuses. We’re just not gonna put up it. The person who gave the order to launch the missiles will have to be brought to justice.

I think it’s time someone stood up this Putin fella. He’s been running around as if he’s above the law for too long now. Someone needs to take him down a notch or two. People like him who suffer from short man’s disease can’t be allowed to behave like this. His problem is nobody has ever told him “no.” Well, it’s high time he heard a few no’s from other world leaders. President Obama needs to rally the world to his side and isolate Russia and put Putin in his place. Putin will find the whole world against him and he’ll realize he has no allies left and will have to acquiesce to world demands. That’s how you bring Russia back into the world of nations and make them a good global citizen again. The world is watching Mr. President and you can’t afford mess this one up!

In other news Israel launched a full scale ground invasion of Gaza this week. I tell you what, if there was ever two countries that needed couples counselling, it’s those two. To be honest with you though, I doubt it would do much good. The world has tried to make those two get along for God knows how long and they just haven’t made any progress. It might be time to just wash our hands of the situation. Just announce a hands off policy towards these two a let the duke it out. A no holds barred rock ‘em sock ‘em fight to the death! Last country standing wins. And don’t forget to the victor goes the spoils. So, when Israel kicks Hamas’s ass, they’ll take ownership of the lease desirable, yet most fought over parcel of dirt and rocks in the world. Congrats!

You know you’re living in messed up times when a refugee crisis on the American border is the third biggest story of the week. Call me crazy, but I’m starting to get the impression that our government doesn’t have any answers for this crisis. Every day I read stories about those poor kids being bussed around to different cities looking for someone to show a little compassion and agree to take those poor kids in. It seems that Christian Charity is in short supply these days. You know, the real measure of any man and any country is how they treat the least among us. If that’s the case, then we just aren’t measuring up the standard that we have always set for ourselves. Come on America, you’re better than this.

Well, that’s all for me this week. I’ll let you get back to what you were doing. For IWS Radio this has been KleeShay Johnson, Ta-Ta-For-Now.

Guys We Fucked

Let me tell you boys and girls…Yesterday during the IWS Radio Show things got wild!!

First off, Jay and Matt berated Blog Talk Radio for currying favor toward hot chicks with potty mouths, and let me tell you…this will not stand.

Next week’s IWS Radio Show is going to be an explicit show about explicitness!!  So, strap yourself in or go home, be hernia free, or be a lesser person for not being able to meet the risk…and the challenge.

After nearly thirty minutes of berating BTR for not caring about men…men who pay good money to be “Premium” members, and ultimately proving our point that Blog Talk Radio only promotes shows hosted by women of loose values and questionable moral character…

Jay and Matt after being angered by these facts, settled down, and put on one helluva great radio show yesterday.

Sure, the two Cocks…Slyder and Drew couldn’t give a correct answer to save their lives…

Aunt Jax, while incredibly LATE to the party with her song (which was HOT) hung out with us and was awesome…

Bobby Kraft made fun of online quiz results, and our very own Matt-Man as well.  It was awesome!!

Jamie Mapleleaf was so God Damn Canadian while chiming in, that while even not listening, Bill Shatner cried.

Kip Kelly was on hand to announce his new game show, and really?

The show was all about fun as we asked each other trivia questions, however…

Enjoy this show now, because if you do not?  When next week’s show comes around, you will hopefully be offended to the point where you tell your friends and neighbors.

Here you go my friends and neighbors…If you missed us LIVE on Sunday, you can catch all of the IWS Radio hilarity, right here…

Matt Said, Jay Said...I'll Take IWS Radio For 1,000 Alex

Matt:  Oh hell…Hiya Chuckles I am late to the party.
Jay:  I know…what’s up with that?

Matt:  Instead of taking a post-prep shower, I decided at the last minute to take a pre-prep shower.

Jay:  How was it?
Matt:  Warm, wet, and wonderful.
Jay:  Ummmmmm…Aight. Anyhoo…

Matt:  You mentioned that perhaps this week, we should do a quiz show.

Jay:  Yeah, it’ll be fun.  We can talk about all of those zany online quizzes we take.
Matt:  You mean like the one ones on buzzfeed and elsewhere that you suck me into taking?
Jay:  Exactly…They’re fun.
Matt:  They are like the recess we take after long hours of putting together an award winning radio show.
Jay:  True dat.

Matt:  We could talk about the results we got from the quizzes we have taken.
Jay:  Oh hell yeah, and we could talk about quiz shows and game shows.
Matt:  Who doesn’t like a good quiz show like…say…Jeopardy?
Jay:  Who are…Communists, Alex!!
Matt:  Damn right!!

Jay:  We could ask each other trivia questions.
Matt:  Hell yeah…A few legitimate historical, political, sports, and/or entertainment questions.
Jay:  And to keep the rollercoaster of hilarity rolling, some off the mainstream pop culture questions.
Matt:  I think we’re on to something.
Jay:  Are we?
Matt:  What?  We aren’t?

Jay:  Well hell yeah we are; I was merely practicing for the show by asking you a question.
Matt:  You are so fucking professional.
Jay:  I know, right?
Matt:  Practicing with a question again?
Jay:  No, that was merely a current societal response which means, “Yes, I know.”

Matt:  We could talk about game shows we’d like to see.
Jay:  We could have Bobby Kraft and Slyder Balzcock engage in a battle of wits.
Matt:  That would be entertainingly infantile.
Jay:  We could also do a real time quiz to see who is OUTRAGED that we haven’t been featured on BTR for weeks!!
Matt:  I know I am!!

Jay:  Man…This quiz shit is awesome and a mother lode of quality entertainment.

Matt:  We are going to score a daily double with this show.

Jay  Damn right…Oh hey!!
Matt:  What?

Jay:  One question we have to ask each other…
Matt:  What?
Jay:  Which famous radio personality do we think we each reflect?
Matt:  Nice…And, people could call in and say which IWS Radio personality that THEY most reflect?

Jay:  Pfffffffff…We’re fucking geniuses.
Matt:  We’re ready, and I still need to towel off.
Jay:  Please do so quickly, and ewwwwwww.
Matt:  Later.
Jay:  Byeeeeeeeee.

To join Jay, Matt, and the IWS Radio team for their Online Quizzes Plus Trivia Fun and Games show from Noon-2 PM ET tomorrow on Blog Talk Radio, you click right HERE!!

Time to Start a Twitter War With a Celebrity

Holaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! You might remember that two days ago I did a post about people who might go a little overboard with this whole Favstarthing. Well, my good friend, the very lovely and talented Katy Anders said in comments that she would really like to get into a Twitter war and seems to think it would be a good thing for her. My reaction to this was “Hey! Thanks for the great idea!”

A Twitter war might be just the thing to snap me out of my early summer malaise that I’m not really in, but might fall into without something fun and interesting happening. The question is with whom should I get into this big Twitter war? It can’t be with Katy Anders cause she gave me the idea and she might use big hurtful words when she ruthlessly returns fire. It can’t be Matt-Man cause we’re creative partners in this IWS World Media Entertainment thing and that just wouldn’t work out well at all. Really, anyone who isn’t famous or a public figure wouldn’t be a good idea because a nobody fighting a nobody isn’t interesting.

Mick Huckabee, Salman Rushdie and Scott Raab are out because those wusses have already blocked me on Twitter.

So, I made a list of possible targets:

1. Joan Rivers: Joan is a very mean-spirited old hag and I doubt too many people would come to her defense. The worst thing about Joan is that she’s a huge hypocrite. She can dish it out, but she can’t take it. She says nothing and no one is off limits, which I agree with, but if you take a shot at her or tight-skinned double-digit IQ daughter she freaking loses it! So, she’s on top of the list of potential Twitter enemies.

2. Touré: My GAWD what a pretentious asshole this guy is. In addition to being a very intelligent guy who has done some deep thinking on big cultural and political issues he is a raging egomaniac with a superiority complex that would embarrass Donald Trump. Fuck this guy.

3. David Frum: What a worthless piece of human debris David Frum is. The only way he can get an erection is by watching videos of brown-skinned people being killed by bombs and missiles. Just having a quick back-and-forth with him would leave me feeling like I should take a Lysol shower. There’s also the problem that anyone who ever disagrees with him over any little thing is suddenly a Jew-hater.

4. Marc Maron: Okay, I like Marc’s WTF Podcast. Well, when he has good guests on at least. He’s a very good interviewer. I usually fast forward through his monologue cause I don’t give a crap what’s happening in his pathetic life. I also like his TV show cleverly titled “Maron” on IFC. But, Marc is VERY touchy and it doesn’t take much to drag him into a pissing match. Especially when someone points out that his show, Seinfeld and Louie are all pretty similar. He’s a very legit target.

5. Roland Martin: Idiot

6. Ezra (AKA: Ethra) Kline: I could just RT him and change his tweets to depict his lisp. That would be easy.

7. Dennis Miller: Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

8. Seth MacFarlane: What a schmuck!

9. Glenn Greenwald: America-hating scum!

10. Jason Whitlock: Maybe too easy, but another disingenuous prick.

11. Jay Mohr: Corporate whore and complete sellout who isn’t funny and his impressions are all old and stale.

12. ESPN’s Michelle Beadle: Sports Bimbo who might have great legs but is so full it with her fake feud with Erin Andrews. Plus she says she won’t root for the Jets anymore since Mike Vick is their QB now, but she’s showers Floyd Mayweather who has a loooooooong history of beating up women with praise. She might be too easy. (Actually, I’ve heard she’s VERY easy, ifyouknowwhatImean.)

13. Michael Ian Black: Another unfunny comedian who is totally full of himself. God I can’t fucking stand this fuck!

14. Jerry Seinfeld: He’s just not funny and honestly, it’s a little sad. Seeing him trying to do standup after all these years is like watching Michael Jordan playing for the Wiz … wait … he was never Michael Jordan level in the comedy world.  

15. Patton Oslwalt: Hmmmm … Okay, Patton is a pretty smart guy, but there’s a lot there to mock. He’s short. REALLY SHORT! He’s got a stupid haircut. He’s totally full of himself. He’s thin-skinned. He’s a hipster wannabe. Oh, this has potential!

There are others, but this is going to go down as my longest blog post ever. Anyway, when I pick a victim I’ll use the IWS Radio Twitter account cause this is all about publicity and really, I’m a nice guy who wouldn’t do stuff like this.

A Mexican Immigrant Has Sent Me Upon a Trail of Tears

Cheers and a Happy Thursday to you all…well…to all of you, but uno.

“What, you ask?  Is Matt-Man feeling down on somebody?  That is so unlike him.”, you mutter.

Yes IWS Radio fans, readers, and listeners…

I am feeling a bit of anger and let down by a person who I thought to be a friend of mine, and to the IWS Radio Show and its vast and diverse worldwide audience as well.

For those of you who follow Jay, myself, and IWS Radio, you may recall a man by the name of Luis.  Or know him by the moniker The Ice Man.

Luis is a Mexican immigrant who last summer became a U.S. citizen, and who has for years and continues to this day, to deliver bags of ice to the Beer Mine…conveniently located at the corner of Elmore and Burnett in Bagwine, Ohio.

Anyway…Luis is…er, was…a friend of the show.

We have had Luis and his wife as well mind you, on the show a couple of times in order to celebrate his rough journey from the poverty of Mexico to his travels both physically and legally into becoming a U.S. citizen.

It was but a year or so ago when I posted a congratulatory message of …um…congratulations to him on becoming an official U.S. citizen on this very website.

Jay and I also simulcasted our appreciation of his efforts on the IWS Radio show when it all went down.

Luis was happy to be on the show…asked me every week during his drop off how the show was doing , and was rooting us on.

Yeah, we were all a big happy Mexican-Family back then when IWS Radio was but a cute little show, and then?  A year later, after the slow yet eventual Americanizing of Mr. Luis had clasped her eagle talons and amber waves of grain upon him…he evidently changed.

Monday, when he stopped by the Beer Mine to make his ice delivery, I told him that IWS Radio is now getting between 15-20,000 listens a week, and he responded in a tone that spoke of bewilderment…

“Why?”, and before I could respond he added…

“What the hell kind of people listen to you guys?”

I was in a word…hurt.

See?  Here we are…

Jay, Matt, and the entire IWS Radio Nation standing behind the struggles and ultimate victory of Luis overcoming his treacherous desert journey, his trail of tears upon a hike amongst scorpions, thugs, and the Chupacabra, and at long last liberty achieving his goal of American Citizenship, and what do we get in return?

Nothing but a hot, Baja California-Sized dose of German schadenfreude from a Mexican who is now an American.  Un…fucking…believable!!

I am still happy that Luis has become an American, but what I am not happy about, is that he has become in one short year, typically American.

Americans root for the underdog and then when said up and comer gets a taste of success, Americans chew and claw at the success of the underdog like the aforementioned Chupacabra.

It breaks my heart Luis…It breaks my heart, but nonetheless…Make sure you bring our ice by 3 o’clock this coming Monday if you haven’t taken the day off, or called in sick like Americans tend to do on Mondays.

Cheers!!

Matt-Man

Tweet Me Dirty

You Can Manually Retweet Me Anytime Baby!

Holaaaaaaaaaaaaa y’all! You know I love Twitter. I love it a lot more than Facebook. Okay, I love most things more than Facebook. Twitter is fun and entertaining and full of really hot chicks that are desperate to be internet famous in the form of Favstar favorites and retweets. Being really hot means they can post pics of themselves in bikinis or short shorts or showing some sexy cleavage and they’ll rack (see what I did there?) up the followers and guys will “favorite” their tweets in hopes of getting to have sex with them. Such teases!

This disturbs me so much that I can’t help but take part in it. Wait, that’s not true. My retweets are legit and my only motivation is friendship and possibly marriage. Never anything illicit or dirty! That’s not my style at all.

Like all social media sites, Twitter has its share of drama and battles. People get into tiffs over politics, sports, pop culture and all the usual stuff. The biggest battle raging on Twitter however is over retweets. There is a large and very vocal group of people who always have their panties in a wad over MANUAL retweets and they will always be angry about it.

What’s a “manual” retweet you ask? Well, if you are using a Twitter app like TweetDeck or whatever, when you hit the retweet button you are given the option of just retweeting the tweet or editing the tweet by adding something to it. Why does it upset so many people to be “manually” retweeted? Well, you see when some brilliant and hilarious Favstar person tweets a brilliant and hilarious tweet, if you “manually” retweet it, when one of YOUR followers who doesn’t happen to follow the brilliant and hilarious tweet “favorites” that tweet YOU …. *sniff, sniff* …. ALSO GET A STAR AND IT’S NOT FAIR BECAUSE YOU DON’T DESERVE THAT STAR!!!! THE ORIGINAL BRILLIANT AND HILARIOUS TWEETER IS THE ONLY ONE WHO DESERVES THE STARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!! WHAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!! YOU’RE STEALING STARS AND UNFAIRLY SHARING MY SPOTLIGHT!

I was rather rudely introduced to this scourge of manual retweets one day when I manually retweeted a pretty funny person’s tweet and added “LOL!” to it. The person immediately sent me a direct message telling me not to do that. I informed them that I will never, ever do anything to let them know I find them funny or give them any positive reinforcement again as long as I live. Okay, so maybe I was being a little dramatic, but the silliness of the whole thing just pissed me off.

Now, I will agree that hitting the “edit” button and retweeting without adding anything else in an attempt to appropriate someone else’s tweet (or stars) is a pretty crappy thing to do. Stealing tweets is a big problem and a really crappy thing to do. I agree that stealing tweets is a form of stealing someone’s intellectual property and don’t support that at all. There is also a HUGE problem with sites like Buzzfeed and Huffington Post taking screen grabs of people’s tweets and using them as content to drive traffic. That’s some bullshit right there. But for journalists who whine about people editing their tweets that link to a story they’ve done, as long as the link is still there and you can still get the traffic, don’t bitch about it.

Most people aren’t thinking about stars or Favstar trophies or any of those silly little things though. Most of them are on Twitter to crack a few jokes, mock famous people and politicians, enjoy big sporting events and stuff like that together. Most people aren’t narcissistic freaks desperate for attention and validation through meaningless stars and trophies from some website.
