All Right, Last Call...

It is great to see so many comments on the blog, regarding our last episode that featured the MXWA. I will open up another thread for some final blogs regarding the wrestling scene in Muscatine. Then, it it would make sense for the comments to be posted on their website:

http://www.mxwawrestling.com/

There is currently a nice re-cap and photo of the T-Time episode in which they appeared on.

As you may know, Mr. Yocom is in training all week, in hopes of shaping T-Dogg up to compete in future events, so he won't be appearing on this week's episode. He has even given up his brief stint as a real estate agent to adorn the Muscatine Wrestling 'Crown'...

So this week's show will feature the little known world of of bike racing in Muscatine.

Since Yocom is absent, we will probably take calls from 10:30am to 11am on thurs, so call-in if you want.

Also, are they any suggestions for other topics and/or guests that will get people as fired up as the MXWA has apparently been able to?

Thanks for watching.

Episode #9: The Fine Arts and the Swine Arts

Whew, that was a loaded episode. First off we talked a little about the proposed riverfront improvements and the upcoming LIVE concert at the video studio the 28th at 8:30pm. Below is an announcment. Make sure to tune into channel nine to witness the debut of this new entertainment series "All-Access Pass". If you are a performance artist let me know, and we may be able to arrange for an appearance on future editions....

The Muscatine School Orchestra came out and performed the Led Zepplin classic, "Stairway to Heaven". It is great to have some fine arts opportunities for Muscatine Youth.

But this episode had some fun for the whole family... As the MXWA made an appearance the second half of the show promoting their April 5th show at the fiesta. The "prodigy" and "the one and only Mike Glory" were the initial guests. They had trouble getting their message across as Chad Yocom's newly formed wrestling organization (the CYWA) was talking a lot of smack.

With T-Dogg as his bodygaurd, Mr. Yocom stole "prodigy's" world title belt and then tazed 'the one and only' when he tried to re-claim it. Yocom is training T-Dogg and the Monkey Lion, for future wrestling events, so they may even make a 'VIA Satellite' appearance on april 5th.

Things got out of hand later in the show as 'the CHIEF' power bombed Mr. Extreme. We had to cut the show off early, because all of the MXWA athletes headed out to the parking lot to re-claim the belt from CHIEF, who had earlier taken it from Yocom's Wrestling Posse.

Next week we are featuring an athletic club I belong to... The Harper Cycling Racing Team, so be sure to tune in. Yocom will be absent, commited to his new venture in the world of Midwest Wrestling. Thanks for watching.

The 'Tasing' of T-Dogg

We amped up this week's show by busting out our 100,000 volt taser and gave the dogg a few jolts. He was seemingly unphased by the intial gut check, so we progressively zapped him in more sensitive areas, from the forearm building up to the neck.

T-Dogg involuntarily convulsed with the tasing but didn't seem too harmed, so we took requests from our studio audience. From that we tased him on the ear, the tongue and even the nipple!
Apparently, the t-dogg is one tough bird. In fact this inspired us to see just how tough this guy is. Look for future episodes involving pepper spray, hot pepper eating, and anything else we can think of. Or maybe you have some ideas that you would like to suggest.

Tom Savage was also out talking about his book, a dictionary of iowa places. Check it out at his downtown store or at amazon.com. We are hoping that the folks at Ripley's trailer park heed the call, and consider incorporating their own town, freeing themselves from the constraints of Muscatine annexation.

Also, Mr. Yocom of CYWA, has called out the MXWA on LIVE television! The MXWA is a world-class group of regional wrestlers. So tune in next week as well, as they will be out here talking about their upcoming special event and putting the smack down.

Smokin Pot Holes

This week we took a break from having guests and had a 'CALL-IN' episode. We will probably do those from time to time, to let viewers become a part of the show. Our topics included the POT hole situation in Muscatine and the proposed SMOKING BAN.

The city must have been tuned in to Thursdays LIVE broadcast, because they have already put up barricades around the pot hole that I singled out, that resides in front of the colorado street apts.

ADOPT A POT HOLE', sounds like a good plan to us. Grab a bucket, some slag, and start filling. "The only you have to FEAR is FILL itself". I am not sure if it is legal to actually fill in pot holes, so please let us know if any legal charges are brought against any of those who 'opt to adopt'.

SMOKIN BAN...lots of mixed opinions. The government wants to keep those who work in public places safe from the harms of second hand smoke. The solution, start smoking, not much has really been said about '1st hand smoke' being bad for you, these days, as second hand smoke is now public enemy number one.

Next week we are talking about our great downtown area & more.

Minnows In The Tide

We had a great show last Thursday, and premiered Mark Showalter and Dean Wellman's latest creative endeavor "Minnows in the Tide". This film features music and performances by Mark and the creative and artistic video stylings of Dean Wellman.
