Bert Convy Loves IWS Radio

Hi all…The late great Bert Convy here for IWS Radio…

When I was alive, I was an average guy who could do a lot of things in an average way.  I was an average game show host…an average singer, and an average actor if it was a part that contained whimsy and self-deprecation.

I was in a sense, a jack-of-all entertainment trades.  Nothing fancy, but as is typical with white guys, very workman-like.  I was all about nothing and at the same time all about everything.

And LIVE tomorrow from Noon-2 PM ET on Blog Talk Radio, the IWS Radio Show will broadcast an episode that is very much like me…very…Convy-esque.

They will cover everything from terrorism to football, from bad music to bad weather, from the goings on up during their winter retreat at Hodgepodge Lodge to the unsuccessful unseating of the orange man himself, John Boehner.  In fact, their press release person summed up tomorrow’s show this way…

The holidays are over and the bitter polar air of January has its icy grip upon the country.  Hot topics come to a stall at this time of year, and it often seems as though there is nothing to talk about.

Well…nothing in particular to talk about, but plenty of things to talk about in general, and that is why Jay, Matt, and the IWS Radio team are meeting at Hodgepodge Lodge outside of Bemidji, MN. for a winter retreat.

IWS Radio is celebrating winter activities, the NFL Playoffs, the NCAA Football National Championship, and discussing the terrorist attack in Paris, as well as John Boehner’s orange skin, the flaccid Tea Party attempt to unseat him, and shocking headlines and anecdotes from Redneckville, AR. and Bagwine, OH.

Anything goes at Hodgepodge Lodge, and this week is no exception as laughter, bad music, and satirical shenanigans ensue as IWS Radio breaks the ice with biting wit and a warm smile for all.  So, join them and call-in at 661-244-9852.

I hope you all listen live and call-in tomorrow between Noon and 2 PM ET.  You’ll be doing yourself a favor and will realize that average and shallow coverage of many events done by professionals such as Jay and Matt can be nearly as sexy and uproariously funny as me.

With Love From Heaven,

Bert Convy

Nothing Lasts Forever

Holaaaaaaaaaa y’all! Why can’t anyone make anything that lasts anymore? I know us grumpy old men ask that question all the time, but this time I mean it. My clock radio has crapped out. All I get out of it is static. What’s really weird is that the radio part is turned off! On or Off all I get from it is static. It still keeps the correct time and the alarm still works, but that’s all. What really pisses me off is I’ve only had the thing THIRTY-EIGHT YEARS!


IKNOWRIGHT???!!! This is bullshit! What a timeless design too. That right there fits in with any décor. I got it as a Christmas present when I was in the fourth grade. I had Mrs. Cooper that year. *SHUDDER* Damn, that was a mean woman right there. She didn’t believe in tough love. She believed in hurtful and emotionally abusive love. She also believed in forcing the class to stand and recite the Pledge of Allegiance each morning and stand and repeat a little prayer that she led us in right before lunch. Fun times y’all!

In fact, I had a very bad day when it comes to electronics today. As you probably know I have a new TV in the IWS Studio. Well, that baby is freaking awesome. I’m watching “Nature” on PBS in HD bitches!


Anyway, I had the brilliant idea of hooking up my old Roku 2 to this TV so I could watch episodes of Gilmore Girls and Gossip Girl while working on IWS Radio. Uh, I mean documentaries that will help expand my mind and world view. Yeah, that’s it.

Well, that is more complicated than I though. Turns out I got the wrong HMDI cable! Man that pisses me off. So, now I have to take it back to Walmart and get the right one. It’ll be a whole week before I get the new one! So unfair!

Why can’t I get the right one at Walmart? I can, I just refuse to. See, our Walmart put the expensive shit on the shelves and if you want the more economical brand of these things you have to order online and have it shipped to the store. They can do this because nobody else in town carries HDMI cables. The result is I had to order from Amazon (along with a couple of boxes of food safe gloves) and will have to wait a week for it to be delivered. What a life!

Driving The Storm Out

Cheeeeeeers, greetings, and to all of you panic-stricken, wetting your pants, curled up in a fetal position
while crying uncontrollably Marys out there…

Get over it!!  It’s winter in Ohio and believe it or not, sometimes it snows in January.  In fact, snow is such a common event during the month of January in Ohio, that perhaps you should be fucking used to it by now!!

Oh dear Lord…Bagwine, Ohio was in an uproar Monday as the National Weather Service issued a Winter Storm Warning for the area and predicted that as much as…are you sitting down…THREE to FIVE inches of snow may fall between 10 PM last night and Noon today.

Three…to Five…inches…people!!

The NWS may as well have said that eighteen feet of acid-enriched snow formed from atomic heavy water will cascade down upon Bagwine, Ohio cloaking the denizens of our fair city beneath a shroud of death and destruction unseen since the days long ago when the armies of Alexander the Great pummeled and plummeted ninety percent of the known world.

On cue, the fearful folks of Bagwine began storming every grocery, convenience store, gas station, and bank in order to prepare themselves and their out of wedlock livestock before the coming meteorological apocalypse arrives.

Whenever there is a threat of an inch or more of snow ‘round these parts, people think it’s 1847, and unless they make it to Jedidiah’s Dry Goods and Tannery before the snow flies, they will perish just like those poor folks did while trying to navigate Donner’s Pass.

People flip out during a snow event, and even more so…the local news outlets break out the ratings drum and bang on it incessantly, driving their moribund audience down the road to the intersection of where Hysteria Lane meets Bonehead Boulevard.  However…

The local news experts offer their audiences vital and important tips on how to survive the White Death.  Tips such as…

Slow down when driving…Leave a few minutes early…Bring in the elderly and water your pets…and of course my favorite winter storm tip of all…

If you don’t have to go anywhere, stay home.

Y’know? I've been thinking about that tip, and I think that if you have nowhere to go, and yet decide to drive around during a period of moderate snowfall and slick road conditions, you should do just that.

I mean c’mon…

Don’t let the lame stream media control you.  Stand up for yourself, and drive whenever, wherever, and under whatever conditions you choose.

If a mere three-five inches of snow keeps you from driving to somewhere that you didn’t really need to go, the terrorists win.

Cheers!!

Matt-Man

IWS Person of the Week: FOX and Friends Host Anna Kooiman

We’re only four days into 2015 and already we here at IWS Radio have a pretty good idea who will end up being Time Magazine’s Person of the Year for 2015.

She has brains, talent, sexiness, and above all, journalistic teeth unseen since the hey day of Woodward and Bernstein.  The assuredly future Time Magazine Person of the Year for 2015 is our IWS Person of the Week, none other than the brainy and beautiful Fox and Friends anchoress…

Anna Kooiman!!

Anna knows that when covering breaking news, sometimes one must sacrifice one’s own vanity and personal naughty bits in order to grab the dirty truth of a headline…


Ms. Kooiman is also multi-faceted in her coverage of the news, as she can display a variety of emotions…


Anna Kooiman is quite the athlete and fitness instructor as well, and keeps healthy by drinking plenty of water which enables her to cover the news 24/7…


First and foremost however…in spite of her beauty, intellect, and high-profile position, Anna isn't afraid to get her hands dirty in order to break the truth about international celebrities and political power brokers…


So here’s to Anna Kooiman, our IWS Person of the Week.  She’s a woman on the rise and a woman who cannot be out FOXed!!

For more great Anna Kooiman news and a penultimate celebration of National Trivia Day join Jay, Matt, and the entire IWS Radio team as they broadcast LIVE today from Noon-2 PM ET on Blog Talk Radio.

Jay and Matt will be offering trivia questions and prizes to the audience along with recapping New Year’s Day, college and NFL football, and looking ahead to the Year of Jayman in 2015 as they engage in their Trivial Pursuit of Happiness show.
