Bill Stage

The Bill Stage Radio Show is a distraction. The tasks you should be accomplishing in order to get that promotion or a better grade become secondary, almost unnecessary thanks to me. I’m Bill. I have been in QC radio since I started on 97X back in August of 1996 as a fresh faced go-getter…wide-eyed and full of passion & desire for all that life had to offer. Now that I’ve got all of that out of my system, it’s been a while since we’ve drank together. Let’s do that again. That was fun.

This happened a while back, but it's making the rounds again. A couple checked into a hotel in Ft. Wayne, Indiana that was recently renovated, and they discovered one huge design flaw. The "upgraded" toilet was so big they couldn't close the bathroom door...

Boy Interrupts Mom’s Vid by Farting at the Camera

Farts are funny.
There won't be a comedy bit or one-liner or viral video of someone falling down that will ever beat the humorous art of the fart.
In my house, farts are allowed. Encouraged, even. Except at the dinner table...where we have trouble discouraging through the laughter...
