Okay...I am usually not one of those weirdies who says "awww...look at this cute cat video!" or "look at that adorable puppy!" But this is a very big exception! I can't tell if it's because I love bulldogs or the love that these two animals clearly have for one another. Either way...you decide.

The maze, which opened over the weekend, covers eight acres and takes about an hour to navigate. For details and to admire the artwork, log onto ShelbyCornMaze.com.
Robbie and Crockett had the opportunity to talk with Brantley Gilbert about the release of his debut CD "Halfway To Heaven," being sort of on the wagon...and what makes him cry? Hear what you DIDN'T hear on Froggy 101 right now!
Ben & Jerry's have turned to a Saturday Night Live sketch for the name of a new flavor they're adding to their ice cream lineup. Yesterday they announced "Schweddy Balls," which consists of vanilla ice cream with a hint of rum with fudge-covered rum and milk chocolate malt balls.
The flavor is inspired by the SNL sketch that featured Alec Baldwin as Pete Schweddy, the owner of Season's Eatings Bakery, who guests on Delicious Dish, a radio show hosted by Ana Gasteyer and Molly Shannon.
Baldwin said in a press release, "For a long time, I thought that 'Here Lies Pete Schweddy' would end up on my tombstone. Now, thanks to Ben & Jerry's, the goodness of the Schweddy family recipe won't go with me to the great beyond."

BUT...having said that, sometimes life happens and you forget to read your assignment. For those of you who are not fond of reading anything other than the comic strips in the newspaper like me, there is help. CLICK HEREfor a little "shortcut" that could save you from a failing grade. You'll thank me for it later.
You hear me say all of the time during the show "I love that song." There are reasons for that, ya know! One of my favorite things about being a radio personality on FROGGY 101 is that I get to interact with listeners and discuss music, good or bad (cough cough Scotty McCreery cough cough). Everybody does a "Top 5" list for one thing or another. So, here is MY list of the "Top 6 Songs You Should Go Download Right Now"
1. Brad Paisley's "My Favorite Memory" (from "This Is Country Music")
2. Randy Houser's "Addicted" (from "They Call Me Cadillac")
3. Lee Brice's "Beautiful Every Time" (from "Love Like Crazy")
4. Kenny Chesney's "Something Sexy About The Rain" (from "Be As You Are")
5. Blake Shelton's "Over" (from "Red River Blue")
6. Jake Owen's "Settin' The World On Fire" (from "Barefoot Blue Jean Night")

Sometimes, a weekend calls for doing absolutely nothing. And with Hurricane Irene bearing down on the east coast, I thought this was the perfect opportunity to do just that. To give y'all a visual...this was me from Friday night until Monday morning...
I hope your weekend was as restful and peaceful and *perfect* as mine was!

It's been a long time since I've been obsessed with a cartoon. Sure, I watch "Looney Tunes," "Tom & Jerry" and "Yogi Bear" religiously on weekends. But those are classics. I'm talking about a brand-new cartoon. I know what you're thinking: "Family Guy," right Robbie?" WRONG! I am OBSESSED with "Bob's Burgers" on FOX! And so is my good buddy Crockett! We watch it as a "pre-show" pick me up! We talk about it constantly, waiting not-so-patiently for Season 2 to start up again this fall. We even like to quote it during songs and commercials on our show! So, I'd like to introduce you to my FAVORITE character on the show because I very easily relate to him. Introducing...GENE!
After waiting and waiting and waiting...FINALLY Crockett and I are going to be getting our pet turtles on a very special episode of "Turtle Talk" tomorrow (Tuesday) at 4:15pm(ish)! We have already picked out the names for our red eared slider turtles and are very excited to be adding two new member to "The Robbie and Crockett Show" family! A very special thank you to Ciarra and her two sons for "donating" our turtles to the show!
Check this out! Gamera, a 12-year old African tortoise, had its front left leg amputated due to an injury, but doctors at Washington State University came to the rescue! They attached a swiveling wheel to Gamera's shell, and now the 23-pound tortoise is moving along just fine! Doctors say the caster style wheel allows him to move well on both flat and bumpy surfaces.

...is at it again! We all love JD. Otherwise, why would we poke fun at him so damn much?!! The new "joke" going around the studio is that all JD does is change light bulbs in the building. As you can clearly see, we have no idea where that horrific rumor comes from!
At 5 o'clock today, Crockett and I will be diving into the topic of fears or "phobias." What are YOU afraid of? There are some weird phobias out there. Little things that we all take for granted, some people actual have a phobia of.  Crockett has three fears. I have three fears. Tune in to see what we're both scared of...and some of the weird ones.
Nobody loves acoustic country music more than me. Something about the intimacy of the performance makes it awesome. Check out Kenny Chesney and Grace Potter hanging out on a beach somewhere playing "You And Tequila" for a select few and a camera...
Need something to occupy your brain NOT related to your job or house or kids or whatever else you are worrying about at this particular moment? How about a rousing game of "Whose Tat Is That?" CLICK HERE to play! Good times will follow...I promise!
Today has been a hard day for everybody's favorite midday personality Jessie Roberts. She received some really crappy news about her dog that she's had since she was in 6th grade. So, please do me this favor...throw a quick prayer her way. You can find her on facebook HERE. You can text her at 32961 on the FROGGY Text Force number. You can e-mail her (JessieRoberts@froggy101.com). Or, you can do it the old fashioned way and talk to the big man (or lady) upstairs. Just let her know that y'all are thinking about her. And, one more thing I ask of you today...give your pet an extra hug today. They'll appreciate it and you will too.
Any time a country singer gets to throw his/her weight around to toss out unruly characters, it's pretty sweet! Check out Tim givin' the boot to some drunk chick and her two buddies!
Tomorrow is the big show! Sugarland at the Toyota Pavillion on Montage Mountain and I've only got one more pair of tickets to give away. How bad do you want them? All you gotta do is: 1) Be caller #12 to 1-800-570-1013, 2) Take the songs below the Sugarland picture and put them in order of release (from oldest to most recent), 3) Get your sweet booty to the FROGGY 101 studios before 5pm today to pick up your tickets? Think you got the stones? Here ya go...
Here's the deal: we've got two "audition" videos of our boy Crockett singing a few of his favorite songs. It's up to YOU to decide which one gets sent to Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and all of the "X-Factor" people.
Robbie and Crockett need your help! "X-Factor" is taking audition videos from now until June 9th...and we want to find a way to get our boy Crockett on that damn show! What showtune should he sing in his audition video? Be sure to put your song suggestion below! The top two suggestions Crockett will sing and we will post the videos on FROGGY101.com Monday and Tuesday for you to vote on! The showtune with the most votes will be the one we send to "X-Factor!"
Throw pillow? No thank you. Body pillow? Nah. Booty Pillow? NOW YOU'RE TALKIN'! Yep, there's actually a pillow that looks like this...
Now don't ask me what the purpose is, because to me, a pillow is a pillow is a pillow is a pillow. But, for those guys that want the feel of sleeping on a woman's ass, this is just for y'all! CLICK HERE to check out other "styles" and to order one for the toughest name on your shopping list!
JUST KIDDING! Even though there was a crazy rumor yesterday that he was alive and well, living in a small town in Brazil. But Tupac IS about to become a comic book superhero! The comic is called "Comeback Kings" and it also includes Elvis Presley, Jim Morrison of the Doors, Bruce Lee and comedian Andy Kaufman, living together in a space ship with Santa Claus, the Loch Ness Monster and Popeye. Just kidding...but that'd be cool, right? They're actually fighting an evil villain who wants to destroy Los Angeles. CLICK HERE to check out some of the artwork...it looks pretty sweet!
It seems like every week, somebody asks me why I bust on American Idol so damn much. My response is always "Where Do I Begin?" No Simon Cowell = no reason to watch. The really talented ones are always bounced off because viewers are voting for the "hot" or "sexy" ones. No drunken, drug-enhanced responses from Paula Abdul. The list goes on and on. But the MAIN reason is because of this lady...
It's people like this that makes the show intolerable! It CONSUMES their lives! Like her texts and calls made THE difference in the voting! Lady...please, I am begging you...get a hobby or a job. Your family will thank you for it.
I have been waiting...and waiting...and waiting for this dream to come true: Disney's new Muppet movie has a release date! "The Muppets" will hit theaters on November 23rd! It not only stars all of the usual suspects (Kermit, Fozzie, Gonzo, Miss Piggy, Animal), it also stars Jason Segal (of "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" and "How I Met Your Mother") and Amy Adams (of "Enchanted" and "Talladega Nights: The Ballad Of Ricky Bobby"). Check out the new movie trailer now! Then, when you're done, CLICK HERE to take the "Which Muppet Are You?" quiz!
The Spike TV "Guys Choice Awards" will honer Jennifer Aniston for a (believe it or not) decade of hotness. Has it been ten years already? Just a day ago, she was the hot one on "Friends"! Spike VP Casey Patterson says "Decade of Hotness is Guys Choice's ultimate term of endearment for a woman that we just can't get enough of." Jennifer will actually be on hand to collect the award when Spike TV's Guys Choice Awards airs June 10th. Personally, I think this award is VERY WELL DESERVED! I can't name one movie she wasn't hot in, can you?!! Previous Decade of Hotness honorees include Halle Berry and Charlize Theron. Congrats to Jennifer Aniston! I'll be thanking you personally when we go to dinner Wednesday night.
I love country music. It's in my blood. And I have many people to thank for that: my dad, Lloyd Ketchum, Jen Vislay to name a few. But I freakin' LOVE acoustic country music most of all! Just like the Guitars & Stars shows we put on here at FROGGY 101, the unplugged, stripped down feeling of your favorite songs makes it feel like you're in the artist's living room with them while they're writing, working on, and perfecting a song. So, I want to help you kick start your summer by sharing with you Jake Owen's new single "Barefoot Blue Jean Night" performed acoustically from a beach in Santa Monica, California for the pleasure of your earholes! CLICK HERE TO LISTEN!
This is just the most ridiculously awful thing I have ever heard of and seen in my life. Earlier this week, Michelle Touma got in a fight with her 19-year-old daughter Emily while they were shopping at a Walmart in Sandusky, Ohio. She finally told Emily to get out of the car when they were in the parking lot. Emily smacked the hood of the car after getting out, and Michelle responded by hitting the gas and RUNNING INTO HER DAUGHTER. Michelle says it was an accident, and her plan was just to drive by close enough to smack Emily in the head. Unfortunately, she clipped her and ran over her foot. Emily was treated for an ankle injury, and Michelle was arrested for aggravated vehicular assault.

Got your attention with the title, didn't I? If you grew up around the time I did, you LOVED The Cosby Show. It was hilarious and you never missed an episode! And thanks to reruns, you can catch up on it now, or fall in love with the show (and Lisa Bonet) all over again! Well, somebody with a lot of time on their hands have created a really cool website called "The Cosby Sweater Project" and it's pretty much a visual catalog of every ridiculously ugly sweater ever worn on "The Cosby Show." And...it's in CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER! CLICK HERE to check it out...
Now, believe it or not, some people might find you annoying. (I call those people jackasses. You can call them whatever you like!) Well, a psychologist named Robert Hogan put together a little 20-question quiz to figure out just how annoying you really are! BRILLIANT! The three areas of focus in the quiz are whether you're picky, arrogant, or irritating. Overall, you get a score between one and five. It's a quick, 2-minute quiz and it's worth your time. CLICK HERE to take the quiz! (Or take it for someone you really, really don't like!) (PS...I got a 3.13, which I think is good. Or maybe not.)
So, there I was...about an hour and a half into another magical show. When all of a sudden, the Batphone rings. Who's on the other end of the line calling me? Joe Don Rooney from Rascal Flatts! And boy, did he have a lot to say! CLICK HERE to listen to the UNEDITED interview!
So, I'm walking around the mall Saturday with my mom (yes, my mom) looking for the next cartoon character t-shirt to buy, when I realized that a very serious epidemic had taken over the women at the mall. About 75% of them have contracted what I have diagnosed as the "perma-scowl." Their faces were all scrunched up like they just walked through a smelly fart and their faces FROZE that way!  Ladies, I know what you're thinking when throw that look on your faces when you head out in public: I'm WAY better than everybody at this mall/restaurant/club/etc. But I don't need Kermit the Frog to give you this news flash...YOU AREN'T! Most of the women walking around with the "perma-scowl" weren't that good looking to begin with, and the ones that were good looking made it clear that their cell phones were way more important than interacting with real human beings. Just because ridiculously gorgeous celebrities like Victoria Beckham, Paris Hilton and Angelina Jolie can pull this look off doesn't mean you can. So, to all the ladies with "perma-scowl" do all of us a favor...stop smelling the fart!
I wanna pass along congratulations to Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert for tying the knot this weekend. Let's face it: if you're a lady, you'd KILL to marry Blake Shelton. And if you're a fella, you'd KILL to marry Miranda Lambert. Move over Tim & Faith! The new power couple will make it official on Saturday. Congrats from all of us here at FROGGY 101...ya know...just in case you check our blogs.
I know the title sounds confusing, but hear me out. "The 6 Degrees Of Jennifer Lopez" game is to prove how bad y'all really, really, REALLY want to go see the American Idols Live Tour when it rolls into the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza on Sunday, August 21st. NOTE: THIS GAME IS FOR MEMBERS OF THE FROGGY TEXT FORCE ONLY! (So if you haven't become a member yet, text "JOIN" to 32961) The game is simple. All you have to do is link American Idol judge Jennifer Lopez back to herself in 6 moves via movies or television shows she has appeared in. I'll give you an example...
Jennifer Lopez was in "The Wedding Planner" with Matthew McConaughey, who was in "Ghosts Of Girlfriends Past" with Emma Stone, who was in "Zombieland" with Woody Harrelson, who was in "White Men Can't Jump" with Wesley Snipes, who was in "Money Train" with Jennifer Lopez.
See? Easy, right? Well, you're gonna have until the 6 o'clock hour to figure one out. Crockett and myself with be verifying them personally, and the first texter to figure out a "6 Degrees Of Jennifer Lopez" correctly, will win a pair of tickets to see American Idols Live Tour at the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza on Sunday, August 21st. GOOD LUCK!
Psssst...how about if your pal Robbie Owens gives you a little bitty hint? CLICK HEREas a great launching point in your search!
Osama bin Laden is dead, to begin with (how's that for a Charles Dickens reference? "A Christmas Carol"? Anyone? READ A BOOK, PEOPLE!). And now that it's been over a week or so, the time is right to make fun of the guy. I don't want to give away the funny, so please follow these three simple instructions:
1) Go to YouTube and highlight/copy/cut or whatever it is you do with the URL of your favorite video.
2)CLICK HEREto hit up this sweet new website and paste/type in that YouTube URL in the empty window.
I know it's a little late, but that's because his birthday got overshadowed this year by that damn Mother's Day! I want to say happy birthday to my father-in-law, Chuck. I try not to make these blogs too mushy-gushy or emotional rollercoasters for the reader, but this one might take that offramp. Dude is throwback. He's a classic. Vintage, baby. I've never seen him get upset or yell once...and his daughter and son are wackos! And let's face it, it can't be a picnic for him having me as a son-in-law either! Eating all his food, making fart and boobie jokes at the dinner table, the list goes on and on. But from watching MGM cartoons together (Droopy is his favorite) to personally picking out my Christmas gifts (sorry Chuck, my Ray Allan action figure broke in the move. I didn't have the heart to tell you...til now), the guy NEVER ceases to amaze me, especially when he's throwing elbows and pushing my friends all over the court when we play pickup basketball! So, for what it's worth Chuck...I can't think of any other weirdo I would want as my father-in-law. Happy birthday bud. I'd say I love you, but I don't want you to cry and then have Debbie ask "Why the hell are you crying while you are on the computer?" (But then you can tell her "Mind your business, THAT'S WHY!")
Have you ever seen a vehicle in a movie or television show and thought "Man! How cool would it be to drive around in THAT?!!" Well dream no more, my friends! Some of television and movie's classic cars are being auctioned off in June. Something tells me I will be calling in "sick" that day to buy me this...
You need to get your butts to Penn's Peak tonight to check out the Gary Allan show. (CLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS NOW) You will be getting your money's worth no matter where you sit. How many reasons do you need? "Watching Airplanes." "Nothing On But The Radio." "Lovin' You Against My Will." The list goes on and on. Find a way up to Penn's Peak tonight before 8pm. You'll thank me for it on Monday. To prove yet another point on why you should get to the show tonight, click on the picture to check out Gary's video for "Songs About Rain."
Check out the amazing singers that country music superstar Blake Shelton has on his team for "The Voice."Â It's pretty much a lock that his team will win this thing! Click the picture to check out Team Blake and all of the singer bios!
Believe it or not, a team at the University of Electro-Communications in Tokyo has invented a device that actually lets you kiss someone over the internet...sorta. It works like a webcam: both people have to have one plugged into their computer. Then, apparently you just go to town, making out with the straw! And, in real time, the things you do to your straw makes the other person's straw move, and vice versa. The researchers hope to find a way to incorporate other elements, like water coming out to simulate the amount of saliva in a kiss, plus scents, tastes, and more. Still don't believe me? I had a feeling you wouldn't! So, check this out...
Ever wanted to have the stink on ya of living in your parents basement, rent free, living off pizza rolls and Mountain Dew Code Red, while rolling a 12-sided die and never experiencing what it feels like to kiss a girl or see the sun? WELL NOW YA CAN! Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab has created a new line of colognes inspired by Dungeons & Dragons (yes, THAT Dungeons & Dragons). Here's the breakdown of a few of their "scents":
Elf - combines a pale golden musk, honeycomb, amber, violet, hawthorn bark (um...huh?!!), aspen leaf, forest lily, white moss and a hint of wild berries.
Fighter - smells like leather, musk, blood, and steal.
There's even cologne based on GOOD and EVIL! Good is "shimmering celestial musk with vanilla, white honey, acacia (aca-what?!!), and sugar cane" while Evil is "smoldering opium tar, tobacco, green tea and black plum."
A five-mililiter bottle goes for $17.50 (that's American dollars nerds, not dragonmarks).
My life is an open book. I'll talk about damn near anything and everything on the air. But I drew a line in the sand promising myself that I would not talk about a few topics. Charlie Sheen. My political views (or lack thereof). But I have to break my silence on this: The "Royal" Wedding. 22.8 million Americans (and an estimated 400 million live online thanks to YouTube), with clearly nothing better to do with their time from 5 a.m. to 9 a.m. than watch a couple of people that nobody clearly cares about, get married on over 11 networks. Overkill much?!! The only thing I am gonna remember from this circus of patheticness is that cute little girl covering her ears when Duke Dork and Duchess Hotpants publicly kissed for the first time. That's about it! Just like the 2004 Super Bowl. Pop quiz time! Name the two NFL teams who played in the Super Bowl that year? YOU CAN'T! Because the only thing you and I remember from that Super Bowl is Janet Jackson's boobie poppin' out! Now that the "Royal" fiasco is done and over with, can we please go back to doing what we all love to do...making fun of American Idol!
As I was going through show prep this afternoon, I came across an article about how Taylor Swift had wrote her song "Hey Stephen" about Love & Theft's band member Stephen Liles Barker. THEN I read that he wrote a song in response to her song, called "Try To Make It Anyway." So, I'm thinking finally some guy she dated is gonna get back at her for writing about and dogging all of her past boyfriends in every single song she's ever written!" WRONG! It's a love song about him trying to get over her. DUDE...YOU'RE MAKING ALL US GUYS LOOK BAD WHEN YOU DO THAT! And what makes it even worse for me? I really, really like the song. Check out Stephen Liles Barker's "Try To Make It Anyway"...
Just before joining the FROGGY 101 family, I had the opportunity to head back to Rapid City, South Dakota to visit my really good friends, the Keene family (Seth, Barb, Emma, Jarod, and Lauren). As always, I had an amazing time, from staying up late talking to Lauren about how all boys are no good, to playing pickup basketball on their Fisher-Price hoop with Jarod, to eating cereal and watching cartoons with Emma.  But I made one small mistake: I promised Emma and her friend Kalli that they could "do my hair and makeup" when we got home. What I thought was gonna be a 10 - 15 minute thing turned into a 45-minute makeover! So, I got my hair did (with damn near the whole can of mousse in it) and my makeup (complete with eyeshadow, blush and sparkles). And even though I looked like an extra from a RuPaul video, it was hilarious and an experience I will never forget...and something I hope Emma NEVER asks me to do again!
In all my years on this Earth, three shows have been very influential in molding and shaping the personality that I am today: Looney Tunes, The Marx Brothers, and The Muppet Show. The first two are self-explanatory. I mean, who can argue with the comic genius of "DUCK SEASON! WABBIT SEASON!" or "One morning, I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas I'll never know." But I can prove to you that all of life's lessons you'll ever need, you'll find on The Muppet Show.
1. Genius is ALWAYS misunderstood.
2. When dating a pig, NEVER make any bacon or pork chop jokes.
3. It always helps to have a loyal sidekick.
4. No matter how funny you are, there will always be two crotchety old men heckling you.
5. The green guy is ALWAYS the star.
What did I tell ya? The first three seasons of "The Muppet Show" are available on DVD right now. So, if these five examples didn't prove it to you, go pick them up for more of life's lessons. You'll thank me for it!
