T-Dogg's Got Worms

While the televised version of Musca-T-Time isn't currently being broadcast, check out T-Dogg participating in an exclusive webisode.

MXWA on T-Time

Here is a clip from my 'hostcam'. The show turned out alright, but we elected no to re-broadcast it so here is a peak at a couple minutes...



The show culminated in a last minute throwdown...



Thanks for watching and tune in LIVE every Sunday at 6pm with re-broadcasts Tuesdays at 12pm, 5pm and 10pm.

Hostcam

As mentioned on our debut episode for the 2010 winter season, I have posted the clip that I shot on stage while we were recording Sunday. This is an exclusive video for our online audience, revealing the studio from the host's perspective.



Hopefully the viewers enjoyed learning about Hon's new logo, and the MHS 'grinding' epidemic. Also, look for the continuance of the mini-series that debuted Sunday... 'MuscaFRUITville'. An undefinable community that lies between the depths of your imagination and the heights of your soul... (aka... between Muscatine and Fruitland).

Next week's show will feature MXWA and the search for the CYWA belt.

2010 Season!!!!

Ok, it's cold and dreary outside, so nestle up in front of your TV with a nice cup of hot Tea, Sundays at 6pm! We will be back on the air this winter, in hopes of warming up your Sunday Nights.

The show will feature local topics and guests. We will also give viewers a chance to be a part of the show by allowing call-ins.

Check back to this site for upcoming episode info, video clips, editorials and more.

2009 Season Set to Begin!!!

New season starts Monday March 2nd. We will be airing LIVE each Monday Night at 5:30pm with re-broadcasts Tuesday and Wednesday at 12pm, 5pm and 10pm.

We will have a Call-in segment of most shows, to allow the audience a chance to interact.

Thanks for checking in...

Sorry, there haven't been any posts for awhile, as the show goes on hiatus from time to time. Rumor has it, that special 'holiday' episodes are in the works, and possibly even a 2009 re-birth.

July 'Late Night' Call-in Episodes

Last night's call-in episode went great, with non-stop calls. Thanks for the support.

Just a couple more call-in episodes left, so make sure to take advantage of this opportunity to 'interact' with the show.

Also, if you would like us to discuss a certain 'topic' on the show, just leave me a comment, and I will try and read it over the air.

thanks for watching.

Thursday, July 10th episode

Didn't get to call in? Post your topic or question here... Also, if you have a suggestion for a topic for next Thursday Night's LIVE broadcast from 9:30pm to 10:30pm please feel free to pass it along and maybe we can use it on the show. Witty comments can possibly be read on the show as well.

For this episode, we mainly disussed 'summers in iowa'. RAGBRAI, Musc. Aqua Center, Flooding, etc. We had several callers who were able to take advantage of the interactive nature of these late night episodes.

If you missed it tune in all weekend at 10pm, and 1am. These are only played later at night because they are rated 'M', so kids, ask your parents permission before watching the show. And, parents, ask your kids permission before not watching the show... it's good for you to be involved with your community. Musca'T'time can make a difference!

LIVE w/ Call-ins this thursday, for real.

Yocom was celebrating the 4th in East St. Louis, so we had to postpone the first 'late night' editions of the show. Looks like we are in for this thursday the 10th from about 9:35pm to 10:35pm.

Not sure what the featured topics will be, but we do allow random topics from the viewing audience, so tune in and enjoy some good local satire.

Let's get Patri Artic Up in Here!

This week's guests were themed to help celebrate our nations's 4th of July celebration. First up we let people know about the World War II Tour happening this October. The Muscatine American Legion is helping gather donations to send 30 WWII vets to the memorial in Washington D.C. We were honored to have an actual WWII vet as one of the guests.

Then we had the Muscatine Cultural Alliance speaking about the PartriArt Week this June 28th, to July 4th. June 28th is celebration at the Brew. Yocom will be on the Historic Bike ride event Sunday the 29th, portraying the founder of the Weber Button Co. Wednesday is Blues in the Park (weed park), with Andrew Landers & Ellis Kell at 6pm. Thursday is a great event on Downtown Streets. And, of course friday is the fireworks celebration.

We have a break next week. Then doing three or four 'late night' versions of the show with call-ins, local editorial, satire, etc. thursdays at 9:30pm.

Flooding is a bad deal.

Not trying to be insensitive, I would say the flooding situation is a bad deal, and our sympathies to those majorly affected. Looks like columbus junction got hit hard, again, that is a bad deal but they came together as a community, so some good did come of it.

Otherwise, we chatted with the lil league team, the orioles. Yocom claims to have future major league stars on the team, so what an honor to get to interview them before they hit the bigs.

We are going to get patriatoic next week, so flag burners best not tune in. We will talk about the downtown 'partriart' celebrations and have a guest from the american legion talking about a WWII memorial tour that some local vets are going to attend.

Maybe some ricking and rolling, you never know.

Lil' League

This week we had Yocom's Little League team the Orioles out on the show. Muscatine has a great baseball/softball scene at Kent-Stein Park, and four of the team members got some air-time talking about life in the little leagues.

Look's like the end of the world is just that much closer, as another round of flooding is rampaging the area. Go out and live it up, because the apocolypse can't be far, as each year more sporadic weather catastrophes, disease, famine, fallen economies, gas shortages, etc, seem to be taking over.

Next week we will talk about the PatriArt Week of festivities in Muscatine, and the WWII Veterans Honor Tour.

Then in July, the afterhours version of the show kicks in, where we take phone calls and chat about hyper local topics of interest and current events. The show records LIVE thursdays at 9:30pm then only re-broadcasts late at night after the little old ladies have gone to bed (around 10pm). That will be fun while it lasts.

Dean Wellman has some T

This episode we had a local digital artist, named Dean Wellman out on the show. He debuted his new short film/music video "The Last Stand". Dean is an artist of all trades, music, songwriting, video, painting, clay, metal, web, graphics, etc. He has been contributing to the show on a regular basis by submitting videos from his website Exploration Iowa. Check it out for the best in midwest arts and culture. I even have some video on the site, as well as some cameo appearances.

I also took a moment to promote the upcoming Duathlon Training Practice that Muscatine Multisport is putting on this Wednesday at Saulisbury(6pm by the bridge). If you want to try it out, bring a bike, running shoes and helmet. We will run 2miles, then bike 12 miles and then finish with another 2miles. It is a very tough workout, and everyone's times will be recorded for future reference.

I am proud to be a part of this group, and encourage anyone who wants to get in the best shape possible while meeting healthy friends to get involved. Don't worry, they know how to have fun as well. Afterall, the Missippi Brew is one of their sponsors.

Next week Yocom's Orioles will be out and we will talk about Muscatine Little League.

T-Time to Go LATE NIGHT!!!

Today we talked about Great River Days and it's search for a new group to organize it in 2009. We also reviewed some of the bike racing that occured in the area over the memorial day holiday.

Nancy Shell was the guest and she is having a special fun - run fundraiser for breast cancer research on june 29th at the discovery center park. This is a 9.3 mile run with a $10 donation. It starts at 8am. Show up, get in shape and support a good cause.

Also, starting in July, we will temporarily move the show to 9:30pm on thursday nights, to give you viewers a chance to call in. Yes, this prime time slot means people will actually be at home and able to watch the show, call in and get involved in our rants. Also, the later time allows for more 'adult' content.

thanks for watching.

Hooking Up in Small Town America

This week's show didn't feature any guests, so that freed me up to present a lecture on 'hooking up in small town america'. Essentially, I strive to help single men throughout our local community find that special someone to share their lives with.

- Confidence is key, she isn't any better than you, and there are dozens of other pretty girls just like her. If she isn't interested, on to the next one.

- Don't try and meet women at bars, meet them where you are (hence, try and BE at as many places as possible

- Have a PASSION and let others know about it. Get involved, and things will start to go your way.

-Spread the Love. Say 'Hi' and smile, make the world a better place while potentially hooking up.

Next week, Nancy Shell and Muscatine Running Friends are on the show. Thanks for watching.

Call - In Episode - "hookin up in small town america"

Last week's episode featured a representative from Bandag and the Musc. History Museum who discussed the 50th anniversary of Bandag and the new exhibit at the museum.

We tried to get some floorspace for our video production company to showcase it's rich history, and it seems like Melanie gave us the green light to use some space down in the basement next to the broom closet.

Since we don't have any specific guests this thursday, we will open up the phone lines. I will be giving my master's thesis dissertation: "Hooking up in small town america", so feel free to call in to take advantage of my expertise in the area of interpersonal relations.

Other than that we will see what topics come up. Sure, not to many people are actually watching tv at 10am on a thursday, so the calls are a little sparse, but me and yocom can chat it up with or without viewer interaction.

Speaking of that, yocom has the lead on a female hippie chic to replace the t-dogg as our third-party perspective co-host. I do like the hippie chics, yes, indeed. Daily showering is overated and bad for the environment.

Episode Recap

Our 15th episode of the 2008 season turned out to be very informative.

We delved into local politics by hosting another sheriff candidate, Frank Draper.

Later in the episode Gail Van Heck and Kim Hatfield were guests as they discussed this year's Cancer Relay For Life. Cancer never sleeps, so why should you? Join the fun Friday May 16th at the MHS stadium.

Want to be a guest? Let us know why you think you are SO special.

T-Dogg is MIA, so also looking for a replacement. Your responsibility would be to sit quietly along the side of the set, and speak when spoken too. Your comments should be slightly offensive. Inquire within.

CYWA rastlin

Thursday's episode was hosted by Chad Yocom of CYWA, and guests were 'chief' and the prodigy of MXWA. They have a big event May 16th, so make sure and check it out.

Musca-Tick-Time

Thursday's guest was 'dan the animal man'. He was all fired up to talk about Lyme Disease and how to prevent it and/or treat it. Basically, ticks host onto deer and mice then end up in the grass. They then jump onto your pets and possibly even you! Symptoms of Lyme Disease include fever, arthritis and heart problems.

At T-Time, we want to put a permanent end to this epidemic that sweeps Iowa in the spring and fall! We are proposing that all deer and mice be executed, therefore eliminating the threat of future disease transmission. We are also organizing a community 'Crop Dusting Event'. We are hoping to contract a crop duster to fly over muscatine on Thursday May 15th. This airplane will disseminate a chemical that repels ticks.

We are asking that all citizens of Muscatine stand outside during the hours of 2pm and 4pm to recieve this free 'spritzing' of chemical relief. Please wear as little clothing as possible to insure adequate coverage.(unless you are a bit unsightly, then use your own best judgement).

Don't forget the pets and the kids, this is a FAMILY event.

Next week, CYWA is back at the studio, along with whatever else we conjur up.

Episode #12 - Amateur Radio

Today's episode featured Tom Brehmer. A former disc jockey in Muscatine, who now scratches his itch for radio through a HAM Radio. The Muscatine Amateur Radio Club meets monthly at the Musser Library and gives local radio operators a forum for interaction.

For more information visit www.muscatinehams.org.

T-Dogg and Yocom were absent today so I opened the phone lines and talked a bit about the smoking ban the Iowa State Government has recently passed. A caller wondered about chewing tobacco, as perhaps taking over where smoking tobacco left off.

While chewing tobacco may not be quite as dangerous as second hand smoke, there are still risks to the general population:
1) You could slip on chew spit and crack open your head
2) Inadvertantly drinking from a chewing tobacco 'spitoon' will do both mental and physical harm.
3) Chics will look really gross with a wad of chaw pinched between their cheek and gum, therefore possibly leading to a decline in human reproduction and subsequent population decline.
4) It will be hard to make eye contact with people who have large flakes of tobacky wedged between their teeth.
5) Baseball players will have to find a new habit to be sterotyped with.

Next week, we switch from talking about 'spitting chew' to 'sucking blood', with our first annual "Deer tick" Celebration Event. You won't want to miss it!
