Green Hawaii (2000)

April 30th, 2014 . by Tim Babb (TANcast's #1 Host/Editor Fan)

Tim Babb’s April Foolishness
Day 30

For the final blog in my “April Foolishness” series, I’ve turned things over to a guest blogger: Kermit the Frog.

Hi ho! Kermit the Frog here. Today’s blog is a special one. Its actually a recreation of a blog Tim wrote back in 2000 (before they were even called blogs, I think). It was all about our trip to Hawaii. Unfortunately, it was hosted on a Talkcity website and when Delphi Forums bought them out, they scraped all their Talkcity pages without warning. So while the pictures have been saved, the “hilarious” jokes and commentary Tim made have been lost to the sands of time. I shall do my best to narrate the images for you. Now, without further ado, here is Tim, Andy and Kermit go to Hawaii…a story in photos!

The first thing we did when we arrived was check out our room at the Outrigger Wakiki. I wasted no time making myself at home.

Next, we had to decide what options from the tour package we wanted. (Tim had won this big tour package in a karaoke contest. It was pretty sweet)

Enough planning…time to hit the beach!!! Read the rest of this entry »

Blog Fail

April 29th, 2014 . by Tim Babb (TANcast's #1 Host/Editor Fan)

Tim Babb’s April Foolishness
Day 29 (sorta)

Whoops! This blog was supposed to be written on April 29th. Well I had a super good reason for not blogging that day. I was watching “Young Justice” on Netflix.

Oh did I say “super good reason?” I think I meant sad, stupid reason.

Preschool Party

April 28th, 2014 . by Tim Babb (TANcast's #1 Host/Editor Fan)

Tim Babb’s April Foolishness

Day 28

So today is my son’s birthday. You’d expect me to get all mushy right here, but I did that already and it’ll be years before my son reads this, so I just cut out the middle man and told him happy birthday to his face (his adorable little face).


Yes…his candles are Superman, Batman, and Darth Vader..what?!

What I’m here to talk about today is the “party” for his birthday at his preschool. Apparently last week, when my wife picked him up from preschool, they asked if we were bringing in cupcakes for the class for his birthday. So we thought, “Oh…I guess that’s a thing parents do at preschool. Ok.” So today I show up with cupcakes. I assume they’ll eat them after lunch, which is right about when I pick my kid up.

So I take my extended lunch break that my office graciously gives me to pick up my son during the day and when I get to the preschool, they’re playing soccer. The teacher asks me, “Do you want to have the party after the game?”

What?! First of all, since when so they play soccer during lunch time. Second, why didn’t the party happen already? I’ve got to drop the kid off and get back to work.

So basically, they stop the game, bring all the kids inside. They all sit down at the table with the cupcakes in the center. They sing happy birthday to my son. He grabs a cupcake…and then they put the rest away and tell the other kids to go back outside and finish the soccer game.

What?! (again) What was the point of that? Now all the kids are like, “But I want the cupcake now!” And I’m like, “Why did I bring a bunch of cupcakes for these kids to randomly eat when my son isn’t even there?”

To top it off, as I’m putting my son in his car seat, his cupcake slips out of my hand and falls on the floor of my car. Now he’s crying, I’m irritated, the other kids are confused…this sucks.

Next year, I’m not bringing cupcakes.

My Wife Is Awesome

April 27th, 2014 . by Tim Babb (TANcast's #1 Host/Editor Fan)

Tim Babb’s April Foolishness
Day 27

Throwing a 3 year old birthday party is harder than you’d think. You have to plan to keep a bunch of kids of various ages entertained, fed, and happy. My mom and my wife did the majority of the preparations for my son’s birthday party yesterday. And thanks to them, it was reviewed by one young attendee as “The best day of my life.” SO I’d say it’s safe to call that a win.

However, after the party, there’s still plenty to do. So much food and other stuff to put away, throw away or just get out of the way…and THIS is why my wife is awesome.

Midway through the party, my stomach problems too a turn for the immensely painful. I made it to the end of the party, but by the time we put my son to bed I kept breaking out in fever sweats and at one point, I almost lost consciousness (a part I forgot to bring up on this week’s show). So I curled up in bed like a qumph, and my wife cleaned up everything. When I was finally feeling well enough to get up, all the dishes were washed and put away, all the left over cake was in the fridge, the food was in baggies…she had done it all.

My wife rules.

Your 80’s Site Is Now Like Totally Invalid

April 26th, 2014 . by Tim Babb (TANcast's #1 Host/Editor Fan)

Tim Babb’s April Foolishness
Day 26

In my random internet surfings, I came across this list of “Best 80s Music Videos” on a site called liketotally80s.com. Don’t worry, you don’t need to click the link, I grabbed a screen shot from my iPhone. Let’s look at this list…

Notice anything missing from this list? The songs are listed alphabetically. Look under the “B.” No Bad, Beat it, or Billie Jean. Now look under “S.” No Smooth Criminal or Say, Say, Say. Wait…I’m not done! Look under “T.” Yeah, that’s right, Thriller is not on this list. F***ING Thriller is not on a list of “Best 80s Music Videos!” W! T! F! Not only was Thriller one of the greatest music videos of the 80’s, it’s arguably the greatest music video of all time!

How do you make this list with out putting these videos on there?! I thought maybe the list maker had something against Michael Jackson. But no. Look under “W.” Wanna Be Starting Something is there. Well that’s great…except THAT SONG DIDN’T HAVE A MUSIC VIDEO!!!

Congratulations, Liketotally80s.com, you guys have just failed at the one thing you’re site is supposed to know about…the 80’s. You should just give it up! Sell your domain name to someone who has some actual 80’s knowledge. You’re a worse 80’s site than TANcast is a podcast…and that’s saying something.

Poor Kid

April 25th, 2014 . by Tim Babb (TANcast's #1 Host/Editor Fan)

Tim Babb’s April Foolishness
Day 25

Sometimes my poor son can’t catch a break. His birthday is coming up and today his mom and I are both available. So we were planning to take him to Happy Hollow Park and Zoo with his two grandmas.

But yesterday he woke up from his nap with a fever. This is amazing because last year we took hm to Happy Hollow…and he got a fever as soon as we arrived.

Now he’s resting and might even be doing better and be okay to go when he wakes up…except it’s started raining.

I don’t know why the universe has something against this kid going to Happy Hollow. He’s not even three years old, universe. Cut him some slack!

I’ve done nothing (MySpace Flashback)

April 24th, 2014 . by Tim Babb (TANcast's #1 Host/Editor Fan)

Tim Babb’s April Foolishness
Day 24

As I continue to scavenge through my old MySopace blogs, I keep coming across gems like this from back in my radio station days…

You know you’re not in line for employee of the month honors when it hits 4:00pm and you can honestly say you’ve done NOTHING productive all day.

…and it’s not like I got in late. I got in, bright and early at 8:30. Came in, opened my e-mail…then opened up MySpace and Yahoo. Then I made some oatmeal (with organic raisins…’cause that’s how I roll) Then shot the shit with some co-workers for a while checked MySpace again and took a long lunch.

Unfortunately I didn’t actually EAT during lunch, so I had to come back and fix myself some food. I ate checked MySpace and Yahoo again. Then looked at some digital pictures. Sent a few text messages to my lovely girlfriend. Shot the shit a little more with some more co-workers. Went and played darts while another co-worker was trying to type something.

And now I’m back at my desk but I’m STILL not working ’cause I’m typing this blog.

Well it’s almost 4:30 so I should go….gotta hit Starbucks and the bank before I go home.

…whew…rough day!

Even though this was far from a typical day at the station, you’ve gotta admire the sheer stupidity of a guy who would put this on his publicly viewable profile for all his coworkers, supervisors, and even “customers” to see. I wonder why they didn’t hire me back. It’s a mystery…

Screaming at My Phone Part 1

April 23rd, 2014 . by Tim Babb (TANcast's #1 Host/Editor Fan)

Tim Babb’s April Foolishness
Day 23

I get into a lot of arguments with my phone. Siri just doesn’t understand me sometimes. Tonight I was cleaning out my old pictures I found one such argument I got into…back before I updated to OS7 (a move I still regret)

It would be so much more fulfilling if Siri would swear back…or just play the damn Doug Loves Movies podcast (Which I DID have plenty of saved on the phone…stupid Siri)

When You’re Sliding Into First…

April 22nd, 2014 . by Tim Babb (TANcast's #1 Host/Editor Fan)

Tim Babb’s April Foolishness
Day 22

Yes…that title is from the song. This blog is about what you think it’s about (Unless you think it’s ACTUALLY about baseball…it is not). So if you do not care to read about this indelicate subject, I totally understand. But that’s why I gave you this whole paragraph to close your browser window and say, “Diarrhea? Aw hell no! I’ll be skipping this and maybe I’ll read tomorrow’s blog.”

Okay…if you’re still reading, you deserve what you get. Read the rest of this entry »
