Michael Bloomberg is Leading the Nanny State Revolution

Hola you people with self-destructive lifestyles! In honor of NYC Mayor Michael “Napoleon” Bloomberg’s new rules restricting the size of sugary soft drinks that can be sold, there are some other regulations* that will need to be imposed on a populace of people who need to be protected from themselves.


- Every citizen will be weighed once every two months by a trained official who works for the Office of Fat-ass Control. If your weight exceeds what is allowed by the state, you will be placed on a diet that you WILL follow or you will go to jail where you will stay until the state determines that your weight is acceptable again.

- Food will now be sold in serving sizes rather than in boxes and cans and whatnot. These sizes will be mandated by the Office of Portion Control and you will get nothing more than what the state allows. An example would be that all hamburger patties will be THREE ounces and you will get only as many patties as you have people in your house each week. Also, you will be restricted to ONE serving of red meat per week.

- The Office of Alcohol Intake will set forth guidelines for how much you can drink weekly. These guidelines will be fair and designed to protect your health by the local liquor control boards headed up a representative of the alcoholic beverages industry.

- A daily report of your driving habits will be sent to the local Driving Safety Board. It will be analyzed to ensure that you aren’t speeding or taking any unnecessary chances. Violators will be dealt with harshly.

- Each citizen will submit to random drug screenings a minimum of 12 times a year. Failure of any drug test will result in jail time and the forfeiture of all your possessions to the state.

- All conversations, written or spoken, private or public will be monitored through electronic listening devices, drones and other means for an excess of dirty words and for politically incorrect jokes or statements. They will also monitor you to insure that you aren’t criticizing your government, your leaders or our corporate overlords. The Office of Political and Patriotic Correctness will deal harshly with anyone violating speech laws.

- The Office of Cultural Integrity will monitor the music you listen to, the movies and TV shows you watch and the books you read to make sure that you aren’t being subjected to too much sex. Violence is not a concern. Also, the books are monitored just in case you get some crazy ideas like thinking for yourself or questioning the goodness of the government’s authority.

- Other activities such as gambling (including office football and basketball pools and bingo), running (you shouldn’t run, you could hurt someone or yourself), playing on swings, Jungle Gyms, slides, playing pickup basketball or really any sport not sponsored by the schools, all dessert items and bicycle riding are just too dangerous and too difficult to regulate so they will simply be outlawed.

Now I know this all seems so unfair to people living in a free society, but we all know it’s for our own good. Our government, and our leaders such as Michael Bloomberg and unelected do-gooders like Mika Brzezinski know what’s best for us and they also know that we just aren’t capable of making decisions on our own. So, they will do that for us. And we’ll be a much better society for it.

*People who are part of the top 5% of income earners, corporate CEO’s, celebrities, members of the elite media and elected officials are all exempt from these new regulations.

Also, on Sunday we discussed “What Women Want” on the I’m With Stupid Podcast. We talked about how women claim to want a man with a sense of humor until she gets fed up and says “You just can be serious about anything.” Then we talked about how a woman wants a man to be honest until he gets a little TOO honest, if you know what I mean.

Next we somehow got into a discussion about how Jayman is the world’s greatest cuddler and then we took a call from someone who basically played the Gold Digger card. Something we were trying to avoid. But, hey, if Mike wants to call in and go that route, we can’t stop him.

All in all it was another deeply insightful, funny and maybe even a wee bit creepy show. Just exactly what you would expect from us. So give it a listen a few times and tell all your friends!

They're Coming After Our Happiness


Hola Happy People! It’s March Madness time again! Oh yeah baby! Hours and hours of college basketball started yesterday and will continue for three weeks. Or is it four. Hell, it might be five, I don’t know.

What I do know is that this means we will be inundated with stories about how much the NCAA Tournament costs companies in lost productivity. Every year it’s the same. And every year it’s pretty much bullshit. If you listen to these people you’d think that the average American worker just screws his employer over on a daily basis. According to articles written in publications and discussed on cable news channels owned by HUGE corporations, Americans are so fucking underworked and overpaid it’s just ridiculous.

Along with that, we’ll also get all kinds of stories of police departments all over the country raiding people’s homes and arresting them for running a NCAA Tourney Pool. And then they’ll act like they busted the fucking Corleone family and shut down the gambling rackets.

God forbid you should have a little fucking enjoyment out of life. If you put five bucks into a tournament pool and pick the games with hopes of winning the astronomical sum of ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS, then we’ll bring the entire weight of our armed police forces down on you. Then prosecute you using our army of publicity (and higher office) seeking prosecutors with nearly unlimited resources.

Politicians love to talk about “liberties” being under assault. And while that’s true there’s something else that is under a full frontal assault in this country:

Our Happiness.

More than anything else it’s the things that make us happy, or give us pleasure, that politicians and do-gooder groups are going after. People like Rick Santorum and his promise to have the government go after pornography, Mika Brzezinski and Michael Bloomberg’s Food Police and other groups on the left who go after smokers, and on the right who go after drinking and gambling are trampling on your pursuit of happiness. They’re so afraid that you might be getting a little pleasure out of life and they’re bound and determined to stop it.

There are still others who think you might be getting too much enjoyment out of the internet and would like to heavily regulate it. Some people think you shouldn’t be allowed to watch certain TV shows even on premium channels. Hell, some groups don’t even want you to see certain comic strips because they’re dealing with subjects THEY are uncomfortable with.

These people won’t be happy until we’re all completely miserable. Oh, and until they have full control over every aspect of our lives. I swear, they make me want to light up a cigarette (or a doobie), open a bottle of Wild Irish Rose and watch a dirty movie on my computer while also watching Good Christian Bitches on TV and munching down on a HUGE all meat pizza all while placing a bet on a basketball game with my bookie and getting a hummer from a prostitute.

Okay, maybe that’s a little extreme and “all things in moderation” and some of those things are illegal, but who fucking cares! More than anything else we should be sure not to let these politicians and do-gooders take away our happiness while claiming to be “protecting our liberties”. And, most importantly, we shouldn’t let them doing it in the name of "morality"

Speaking of being happy and we were, Sunday on I’m With Stupid Matt-Man and I brought the happy on “The Feel Good Show!” We talked about people place and things that make us happy. We talked about making other people happy and how that makes us happy. And we even talked about how just seeing our friends happy actually makes us happy.

Try as we might, we couldn’t get anyone to call in and be happy with us, which was a little sad, but we’re professionals so we kept up the feel good attitude all the way through. And, of course we made EVERYONE happy by having another Pee Break with Schmoop segment.

So, help spread the happy by listening early and often. As always, we appreciate your listening.
