Brad is Hairy just ask Carrie!

I spoke with Ms Underwood today, She's in love, She got a new album, Yada Yada....I did get her to say that she recently ate Chicken (by mistake) Shes a veggie. We did have a moment of silence for the Chicken.

Hey a nice find on Vintage sleds last night, Actually this was on for a few days its a sweet 1976 RV 250 Ski-Doo. I already have one that I paid too much for. This one makes up for that. If you kind of lost on old sleds and why I mess with them here ya go. I can make this thing like brand new and get a ton of joy just goofing and riding it. It cost 950 bucks. New ones are over 8000.00 and now ya get it don't cha!

Andre Agassi admits playing tennis while on Crystal Meth? wow I cant drive a car after a Tylenol. Now that talent.

Note to some of the TV Peeps in Chicago, Since the inception of HD, Some of you should get into radio!

Cool news for Ford! Moving up in reliability! Gina has a Ford Edge, Its really a nice car. The American automakers get a bad rap from Euro Loving car mags. Its bullshit.

Listen to the Carrie Underwood interview just go to the Ray on the radio portion of this here website.

Take care

Thats a Pumpkin to be proud of!

Ah its that time of year again, The ritual, The rite if you will. When we turn over butcher knifes to our 6 and 11 year olds and let them loose on the orange squash. Yesterday my kids handled the Chicago Cutlery with precision skill that would have made our neighbor Dr Gregg The surgeon proud!


There they were in there luminescent splendor, The Jack-o-lanterns. all proudly displayed on the fireplace, Intermingled were Conner and Cassie's Pumpkins, all lit up, and there for the little ones to admire. Its a loving secne until one of them touches the other, than ya better grab the knifes cuz its on! God their funny, and it will remain that way until one of them has to wear an eye patch

Happy Birthday to the kids momma, My Bride G, I wont say how old she is. But shes a lot younger than me!

5 cords of wood split up north. I cant tell you how tired I was after this! Riding a bike for 5 days on that cancer ride and over 400 Miles cant even compare!

Oil over 80 buck a barrel, Why isn't anyone accusing the president of helping his oil buddies like they did to the last guy? Hmmmmm

Ok here we go, No sugarcoating it the Bears just sucked yesterday! wow they were bad. Don't blame Jay Cutler! I cant believe the morons who say bring back Orton, Trust me Randy Orton could Quarterback that team! But don't blame Cutler! The team is banged up. Do we miss #54 yet? Also remember that the team is hurtin! who would have thought it would have been this bad! And Lovie ain't going nowhere, Hes a good coach!

have a good weekend, Bears win next week, and take the Packers at home!

let us unearth the mysteries of who goes to what at US99...

Funny today there was a caller who wondered why I wasn't at Tim McGraw last night! She was an awesome caller, lots of energy and fun the kind of stuff that make the Ray mans job easy. She was quick to point out that "Lisa was there" where were you?

Well there's a few answers to that question

1. And the most important. My kids. I owe it to them to be home.

2. I was at Tim McGraw Tuesday.

3. The woman who called and asked where I was was actually there using tickets that she got from a friend of mine, Now ....you may ask how that works? she is a good friend of Kim Cook the woman who is the brain trust behind the Pink Ribbon clcylist's, That's the big fundraiser I do raise money for the breast cancer research center at Rush. Kim and I are on the board of directors for the charity. The woman who got the tickets donates a lot of money. So there's the answer to that little question. (bets shes gald I gave up my tickets now)

4 most my free time goes to charity, I love the station events, But there's no way I want to be at all of them. My boss Dave "Rockin" Robbins and I agree that we would be out seven nights a week if we wanted too! but we don't. I cant be out every night (some people choose to run hard that work at the station) I kike to take care of myself. "The night life it ain't no good life and it ain't my life"

5 I'm sure the divine one handled like the pro she is.


And there ya have it. a slight peek into the living breathing organism that is US99, there's enough of us to do all the stuff!

Random Ray

Our new PD Billy is my new face book friend! Yay!

My 6 year old is one of Bin Ladens crew.

the guys in the Browns chicken murders should be fried, Just like the Chicken &*^% scum they are.

Gina's looking awesome. Shes on a workout kick, and has beautiful green eyes.

today I felt like "Astro boy"!

I miss Dale Sr.

whats with Barackstars health plan? why hasn't it past yet?

Mark Gaurino from the Sun Times is a sissy.

Have a GREAT night!

OMG

I had to laugh! usually Lisa gets all the good stuff, Been that way since she landed like a Gazell here at US99. But today I had to laugh when I heard her talking about Colonoscopie's and endorsing the procedure!, Me I talk about cool Toyota Tundra trucks! Tomorrow I will start endorsing a new product called Prostrate Protector!!! Ha just kidding.

Funny I say that I bought Gina firewood for sweetest day (true story) and I get calls from concerned peeps saying that I need to beware of the Emerald Ash Bore. You know, I would expect that I would get more calls that I actually got her wood for the big day! She says she really likes my wood!

Everyone is buzzing about Kyle Orton being 6-0 in Denver, Who cares

And Viking fans your team is awesome! I smell another Superbowl loss!

Oh I think I need a colon check!

My Balloon boy costume is ready! I don't know how I'm going to get Conner into the Joe's party?, That could spell an arrest and a protest or two.

We have listeners in line (stated at 10 last night ) for Tim McGraw. I love the passion of the fans but why would any one do this (OK I its Jesus there an exception but that's the only one!)

Thats the shallow observations of a shallow mind of the deepend for today!

Man I got the wood!

I spent the weekend in the Wisconsin North woods Splitting wood and what we call "Pullin Piers".

Every year when the weather turns cold, and my sisters, and cabin germs who came up to use my parents place are as distant of a memory as the summer wind, ...Some thing happens. The boats, the water toy's and the piers that are used for tanning and beer drinking need to be taken out of the water.



Usually when this happens one man is left there wearing camo waders, almost always in the snow doing all the work. That one man is me. year after year after year its me. And I get help from my friend Joe who owns the County Flair Restaurant. Without Joe I couldn't get er done. He weighs 170lbs wet. But really is one of the strongest guys I know. Every year I say I'm gonna sell all this heavy crap and go green. I mean my kayak only weighs a hundred lbs. Only problem.....You cant cruise the lake with a bud and a brat and a crew full of my family's unruly off spring. It's a chore in the fall, but when it goes in in spring its awesome, Its a rite if you will,.... a passage of summertime fun to come! Just like opening day at the ball yard, But disapointing in the fall just like Chicago baseball!

After the Piers were pulled I had a chance to spilt some fire wood, Look at this picture! This will keep mom and dad warm for a few winters! I swear after this weekend I'm tired, and sore. (Think Johnny B does this stuff)



After all that, Mom and dads TV I gave them went out so I had to replace it. After 3 weeks of no TV up there I'm really surprised she didn't throw the old boy out. When he yells Hey Pat, I swear the coyotes show up!

I got pulled over in Wisconsin, When I was pulled over! I was on a HWY 51 on ramp(way over to the side with hazard flashers on) learning how to use my hands free feature on my phone, When a Wis Trooper pulled up to see if I was OK. I laughed, I even get pulled over for being pulled over! He was a nice guy. we talked about my truck for 20 minutes.


My crew is feeling better, But my sisters kids have the swine flu! OMG ! My sister looks ten years younger in that face mask!

Gov Pat wants to make tomorrow Tim McGraw day. What ever Patrick want Patrick gets!

Balloon Boys dad, What a tool! Stay tuned.

Bears Ugggg.

Have a great day

Ballon boy!

All i could think of yesterday was what would it be like if I had to tell my wife that my Boy was floating over the state in an out of control hot air balloon weather space ship thingy?

Wow, there i was glued to CNN and the Wolf Blitzer. My god I hope the boys OK, they go to the balloon-spacecraft-science experiment and no BOY!!! Oh o! the it turns serious,

Now we turn to a screen where some dude is speculating whether the spec under the balloon is a:

1, spot on the lens

2, A goose in the Colorado sky

3, a little boy falling from the Colorado sky. Oh CRAP what now?

Well turns out, as you might imagine its a crazy lunatic father who's a part time scienteiet-weatherman-wifeswapping-nutbagsac!

Was this whole drama a scam so this attention grabbing family can be back on the small screen? was John and Kate plus their crazy brude getting too much attention? In Ray Land we call this crew a bunch of D bags.

Now there video of the father letting the balloon go. What a tool. this guy needs to be let lose in what I would like to call a Steven Faucett special.

Turn off the TV!!! and tune in to Lisa and Ray! No that's not much better when you think about it!

I have to Run time to buy Liam a make it yourself spacecraft!

Cheers

The Great Pumpkin

Really, the star of our show today Don Young, The farmer for Des Moines who took his 1658 lb pumpkin to California to win the state pumpkin weigh off. he won just under 10 grand! Last week Taylor Swift, this week Don Young,....Pumpkin man.

Taylor Swift, Wow what a show. My kids had the time of their life. If shes not the entertainer of the year, that will just prove what a racket this whole thing is! That was by far the biggest production of any show ever. She writes em' Sings em' and put on an elaborate show that surpasses any thing out there ever! And after all that she simply inspires young girls to feel good about themselves. That last thing, Is what makes me really love her. And her mother Andrea keeps it all in line. What a cool family. She deserves all she has!

Time to get up north and take mom and dads boat out of the water. I was there for vacation in the last weekend of Sept, and should have taken the pier and the boat out then but dad said no. Some I will be in 40 degree water (with waders) this weekend. Yay. Next year aluminium pier. easier to take out!

Take care

Gilly, Taylor, and Turtles

I have been rather busy with the ol' facebook crap lately. I was friend requested by Cheyennes Boyfriend, So I have been checking it out. He's a nice kid. But that ain't gonna sway me! I'm the crazy old man!

I have also started to call his High school football coach out to play the kid more. I'm sure my daughter just loves that!

Tomorrow its Taylor thank God, Or as my Jewish friend Greg would write than G_d, I'm happy for the kids that got thickets but OMG, I have never been beat up so bad for tickets. Here's the deal. US99 makes us buy our tickets. The station actually gave me two tickets to the show. I had an agreement with my last boss that the station at least cover my wife and kids for most shows. that seldom happens. Gina and the kids don't get off on the whole Radio, backstage thing. Thankfully. Its very overtated!

Gina is losing weight fast! she looks good! Now I have been in workout mode for many years. Lately she has been putting out junk food so I get fat. Her downfall is Fannie Mae turtles. The other day I bought home a box for her! Oh I can play games!
The box was gone in a half day!

Wow, Gregg Olsen joins us on the air this morning and guess's the Taylor clip. Than we take a listener to play and she blows it after we gave the answer? Listening is totally a skill!

Have a great day

Kellys a cutie!

Had a chance to talk to Ozzy's Little girl. I think they call her the Lil Princess of freckin darkness! She was very nice and cute. Look for her to go far on dancin! She waves the checker flag at the NASCAR race in Callie this weekend.

Da Da Duh Duh! Gina starts kickboxing today. She is turning into a workout machine I bet shes down 15! And she putting cookies all over the house trying to get me fat! that ain't cool. I know shes doing this on purpose!

Wow on this Taylor mania. Its worse than Hanna, Worse than the JoBros. I have some of my best buddies demanding meet and greets for their daughters. Meeting her is next to impossible so guess they wont be buddies much longer. I hate that kind of stuff!

What about Kellie Pickler? Evey ones forgetting her. I love her. Shes such a great kid!

Farve! WOW! Aaron Rodgers? WOW. If your a Vikes fan you have this year and maybe next. The Packers have a future. Problem for both teams is a guy named Cutler and the BEARS!

take care

Now we know how Ronnie feels!

Wow! Is this city loaded with EGO or what? How bout the faces in the crowd when we learned we were dead last in Olympic bidding? How could it be? were Chicago the greatest city in the world!

I guess were the only ones that think that. The headlines on Dredge read" Obama the Ego has landed" How could the rock star contingent of the President his stunning wife and the great and all knowing Omnipotent Op not bring the games to Chicago?

Could it be the corruption? the crime rate? both...I don't think so. Would you take your chances in Chicago on a Friday night at 2am or Rio? It has been said that in international circles that Chicago and Illinois are seen as not only corrupt but broke as well. Not good. I feel for the workers of our city and the thousands of jobs we have lost for the next eight years.

who's to blame? was it a bad presentation? was President too lackadaisical in his jetting to Copenhagen for twenty minutes, saying that he's from Chicago and expecting he would just be handed the games? should we blame him? I don't think so. Do we blame this city that most of us love? Nope. do we feel embarrassed by the loss, the fact that we were never even really a contender? Hell no, who cares? were Chicago who needs the games we have the bears and Jay cutlers awe inspiring spiral! the wolves, the hawks, the Batavia Bulldogs, the Bears, Sox, Cubs, we have it all! Theres the Ego I spoke of earlier!

For now all I can do is wait till I make that phone call to that guy at the Copa Hotel in Rio that I have been harassing (in fun) the last three days. and do what we Chicagoans fear the most....admit that I was wrong and congratulate them on the games, After all Chicago that sting that we feel from never really having had a chance......That's pride messing with us. Forget pride. It only gets you in to trouble.

I will take my games in Chicago any day.

The Gov, and The crazy dude from Rio!

More calls to Geogi at the Copa Cabana in Rio. I'm not sure if hes Russian, French, Or from Indiana. Either way he a riot, Its the international aspect of Ramblin In the mornin!

Pat Quinn the Gov of the great state of Illinois! I love this guy. I'm going to take him to get a massage at Spa 64. Were gonna get a little scandal going. were gonna make Illinois love this guy. Such a good dude.

Big Homecoming night for my little girl tonight! Tomorrow is her first big dance I will be there to set the rules with the "Gil" Shes such a cool little chick. I'm a proud dad.

From the archives of Ray and G plus 3, Gina starts kickboxing Tuesday, You will notice a chance in her body. You will notice a change in how I behave!

Go bears!

Go Chicago !!!! the Olympics should choose this town! Hell Capone did!

Thursday, October 1, 2009

Da Da Da dddda da da da da!

that's the Olympic theme, Hey weather you want the games or not just remember, We could always use this against Wisconsin. Think Milwaukee could ever pull that off?

I'm not a big TV watcher but I caught that Modern life and Cougars on ABC last night, Very funny. Ed Oneal a riot. Courtney Cox smokin'

Hey to the Elburn CO-OP , I did a new Tundra video yesterday with my Buddie Brad the farmer. We pulled 40,000 lbs of beans to the CO-OP. that was cool. Those farmer work there a#$%@ off and in almost every one of those barns are cool toys! New video @ http://www.raystundra.com

How about that nut who shot his wife with a bow and arrow in suburban Chicago? I'm sure the deer are happy he will be spending the rest of his hunting seasons in jail.

The O factor in Rio, Here's a hint for Oprah. Don't ever get your picture taken with Michelle Obama again! That would be Like me having my shirt off next to Greg Olsen from our bears. Something that should never be done.

Just had a woman call and complain about my calls to Rio. Say's I'm like Mancow now, She used to listen to me 15 years ago and I was nicer! Whatever. As I get older I have become more honest. Back in the day I used to be bullied by station managemet to be something of a puppet. Now management get's it and I couldnt be happier. I used to go home and stress. I was even fired. Now im living a great life, Great wife and family. This is who I am.

Peace
