Impact 89FM

Following a rundown of J-Wize’s 4th of July fun with making sandwiches with Diego and hanging at Earthwork Farm,  Jon professes a love of fireworks. Diego calls in, and his mind-control device fails, just as Koz calls in to stoke the fireworks of east coast vs. west coast. We talk to the organizers of the common ground festival about their [...]

We discuss massacres in Ireland, U2 in Spartan Stadium, and the coming of Verve Pipe, Rick Springfield, LL Cool J, and – eventually – Tonic. We also discuss British television, rodeos, and how math jokes are awesome.

This week on HHour we cover hard hitting news events like the new Harry Potter social community, a dating web site for people too good to look at, the future of internet porn names, and the death of Spider-man (again). Diego fills in for Jon, Jesse sees the last Star Wars movie, and Emanuele takes [...]

Mobile food is the future people! Ed recounts meeting stars like John Hodgman and Star Burns (who he didn’t really actually meet). Jon gets tricked into liking Nickelback at America’s largest music festival. Everyone regales with tales of local area food trucks. Mmmm. Giveaways, a little chaotic. Always pleasurable.

Ed is at a super-secret project, so Diego steps in to host with J-wize and a ragtag crew of motley folks. I didn’t listen to it yet but I can honestly say it’s my favorite!

An episode of HHour as silly as any before it. Jon debates finer points of pig tails, and a caller gives empirical support that pigtails means mo money. J-wize runs down empire, and sleeps through Return of the Jedi 3 times. The french discover a new earth like planet, and ed insults everyone besides america. [...]

It’s the end of the world, as we know it; according to some Bible Math guy, but if we survive, we’ll have this commemorative episode where we introduce Theme&Variation (again, they’ve been on before), and promo their upcoming show at the Loft, Jesse views Star Wars for the first time, and Jon berates he for [...]

One of the messier evenings we’ve had lately, and frankly we don’t think you’re listening anyway, so we decide to run for mayor, look for the best bacon, and try and solve the flaccid vs. crispy debate on our own, thank you very much, America. Also, we nickname Annie “Bannie,” for no good reason. News, [...]

The Happy Hour Radio Hour – HHour to you! A special Earth Day Eve episode! We discuss Michigan’s place in cell phone spying, and jailing youtube pranksters, photographing food for fun and pleasure, and how many calories is a cat (with or without hair?)

We discuss local ninjas with hearts of gold, the amazing ability of the conch shell to regenerate ‘man-parts’ when local predators chew them off (conch’s never learn, do they?), and a rash of thievery of $10 fans. Well, one fan. But they loved this fan. Also, The Vermontville vs. St Johns rivalry heats up! Who [...]

We discuss important issues such as the new Tron, Daft Punk’s soundtrack, the last mission for space shuttle Discovery, and do a little phone Speed dating with Brian and Annie. Which inevitably leads to Pick-Up Lines for every occasion. HHour briefly goes in search of an intern with low self-esteem, and J-Wize offers the HHour Crime Report: Anteater theft at [...]

Our first Hhour Radio Hour Power Houe, featuring 58 topics in 60 minutes (plus an intro and an outro). Lots of robots. A bunch of would you rathers. A lot less rambling.

Sad but true, I can’t even remember what we talked about five minutes ago, but I remember talking about Tattoos; ones that Annie has, and the one’s she’s willing to get if the happy hour blog (hhour.org) gets 50 followers, and how her ex has the triforce. Allissa called in with a struggle on the [...]

When U of M rolls its basketball team into town, and the fans come along, it’s time to ask the question: do you, MSU, hate U of M, and do you want to make a citizen’s arrest? Can you make a citizen’s arrest? It sounds like something from TV only. Find out! On HHour!

Happy Hour’s hard hitting journalists step into the groin of issues like hot young assassins, Jeff Goldblum in 1980s Sci-Fi, What is Sci-Fi, and why should you wash a hat from secondhand stores before wearing. Listen hard, America. Listen so hard.

Well, the first Happy Hour of the year is over, and it was a doozy.

Amazing stories of the cure for HIV, brains without fear, and brain-controlled neuroskeletons. Plus Jon picks Aladdin over every other movie in ranking films on flickchart.

What an amazing opportunity for Back to the Future fans! HHour featured exclusive new music from Frontier Ruckus frontman Matthew Millia (aka Matt ‘Millians’). Millians took second place in our annual Holiday Haiku to Slam Poet Black Belt Scott Raven, of the Mayhem Poets, who ordered steak. The poets perform live at the MSU Union for [...]

Yes, there is a secret space shuttle, just like in the West Wing. Also, some kind people, or very clever scammers want to buy a satellite for sale and give the internet to the world. Plus, NASA discovers an “alien” organism in California; finally an enemy all the world can hate. Jon cooks a beer-based [...]

It’s hard to have fun when you’re at a 6.5, but we try anyway. We discuss the nature of reeded instruments, the nuance of deathmetal, the obsessiveness of fans, and the origins of society in beer. Not society that lives in beer, but beer at the origins of society. It’ll make sense when ya hear [...]

Completely skipped the fact that it’s 11/11, make a wish. Wish for Happy Hour Podcast? Public Offenders return to promote Macs to the Future Part II, we segue to an interview with comedian Neil Hamburger, who possibly experiences an untimely death on-air. David Sedaris and my dad (aka Lawrence Glazer, aka Electric Chair Larr’) will [...]

Slutty costumes vs. scary costumes. Boy receives detention for farting. Tank rants against bicyclists ignoring the rules. Heated discussion on the elections (of library millage), the weekend rundown, and we declare a nemesis.

An interview with Community’s Jim Rash! Also, we discuss cafeteria food vs. fast food, the shame of fast food, baby costumes, girls in hats, and speaking with accents. Good stuff!

Cedar Point adventures. Favorite cider mills. Halloween costumes. Pirates vs. ninjas. Movie reviews.

Jon steps in to host while Ed is on vacation. Famous deaths: the guy who owned the Segway company died while on a Segway off-road. Ironic. David Blaine vs. Criss Angel: who sucks less? When are you too old to play with Legos?
