Comedy Bits & Pieces

Celebate

Matthew — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 06:15:11 +0000

The good news: teens are having less pre-marital sex. The bad news: it's probably just because they're too busy taking stolen pain meds, illegally downloading music, and obsessively texting each other.

Or maybe they're having less sex because of a revolutionary new product called Celebate.

SBE Comedy Classics - Odd for God Ministries and Outfitters

Erik — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 15:20:26 +0000

There are deep cuts and then there's this nugget that we scraped up from the bottom of our comedy cache.

Alan Wilson from Northern Ireland contacted me via the SBE Facebook group, wanting to take a pratfall down memory lane with this classic* SBE bit about "cutting edge" ministry efforts.

Well, far be it from me to deny a faithful listener his request (or to take a wee bit o' pride in letting you know we have listeners in Northern Ireland). Here's to you, Alan! Use one of the options below to listen.

*Note: "Classic" in this context simply means "old."

Hillary Clinton "Unelectable" to the Tune of "Unforgettable"

Erik — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 05:22:29 +0000

She's tenacious, but the numbers just don't lie. Looks like we're coming to the end of the line for Hillary. The question is, when will she face the fact that she's…unelectable?

News from the Future - Extreme Makeover: New Orleans Edition

Erik — Mon, 19 May 2008 14:23:06 +0000

As I watched the season finale of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition last night, I was moved beyond words.

It wasn't because Ty and the team rebuilt homes and a church in Hurricane Katrina-ravaged Louisiana. It wasn't the stories of the heroes that emerged from the tragedy. It wasn't the coalition of homebuilders from all over the US-of-A that came together to make it all happen.

It was the fact that the Comedy Prophets have struck again!

This bit originally aired in Sept. 2005. As you'll hear, Ty's work last night is just the beginning. Use one of the options below to listen to News from the Future - Extreme Makeover: New Orleans Edition. Nostradamus, eat our dust!

Lucky Lou's Gas 'n Go and Savings and Loan

Erik — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 16:50:40 +0000

Amid the daily barrage of depressing economic data, I was happy to find a bright spot in the news today. Oil companies are posting record profits!

Shell's first-quarter earnings increased 25% to a record $9.1 billion. BP reported a 63% increase in profits to a whopping $7.6 billion. Chevron and Exxon Mobil are expected to post huge increases in profits later this week. Good for them.

Sure we're taking it in the wallet to the tune of $4 per gallon at the pump, but now Lucky Lou's Gas 'n Go and Savings and Loan is here to help. Use one of the options below to hear more.

News from the Future - The Rolling Stones

Erik — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 13:56:11 +0000

I read today that the Rolling Stones' Keith Richards is attempting to write his life story, but he's having a hard time remembering much. No joke! Here's what he said: "I can't even remember yesterday. I'm trying to put together an autobiography and it's coming along."

Richards' previous drug use is legendary and he recently admitted that he still smokes pot, saying, "I smoke my head off. I smoke weed all the damn time…and I've got some really good hash." But Keith says his memory problems are due to his brain surgery in 2006 and the fact that he didn't keep a diary.

Richards recently made an appearance with the rest of the Rolling Stones (all looking great) at the launch of a Martin Scorsese film that features the band.

This all raises the question: Will the Stones ever quit rolling? There's only one way to find out. Use one of the options below to hear News from the Future!

Spring Break Primer - Navigating Cancun

Erik — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 18:49:06 +0000

Spring break. It's that time of year again when college students from across America converge on far-flung locations for a little rest and relaxation (that's code for debauchery).

While it's too late for many, there's still hope for those that have yet to escape the watchful eye of their parents (and U.S. laws). If you or someone you know is leaving the country to get your party on, don't leave the safety of our shores without the SBE Spring Break Primer.

This week marks the end of White History Month. We hope you've enjoyed our enlightening look at the contribution white people have made to today's culture.

White History Month - The Moon Pie

Erik — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 13:58:56 +0000

March is White History Month and this week we're continuing our look back at the role that white people have played in shaping American culture.

Last week, we celebrated the under-appreciated contribution the whites have made to fashion. This week, food. Use one of the options below to listen.

White History Month - The Gap

Erik — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 17:57:06 +0000

Americans have recognized black history annually since 1926, first as Negro History Week and later as Black History Month. Since then, February has marked the beginning of this yearly celebration.

However, it wasn't until March of 2007 that the whites joined the party with White History Month.

Steve Brown Etc. continues the tradition this year as we pause today (and each remaining week in the month of March) to take a look back at the contribution the white man has made to American culture.

Ralph Nader - Real American Hero

Erik — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 18:24:13 +0000

With voters going to the polls in four states today, the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination hangs in the balance.

Despite the Clinton vs. Obama slug fest in the primaries, they really do have a lot in common. One thing on which they agree is that Ralph Nader's fourth bid for the White House could hurt the Democratic nominee's chances in November.

Well, for that reason alone, I think conservatives across our great country will cheer me as I say, "Go Ralph! You're a real American hero." Use one of the options below to listen as we salute Nader.

Les Pantalon de l'Homme

Erik — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 14:43:13 +0000

I went to bed early and missed the 80th Academy Awards last night. Honestly, I just didn't care. I've been much more emotionally invested in years past, but this time there weren't any movies or actors I was really rooting for.

It's not like last year when my favorite foreign film of all time, Les Pantalon de l'Homme was in the running. What a masterpiece! It deserved all 6 of the Oscars it was awarded. Now that was a magical night.

Where have all the risk takers and bold trailblazers gone? What happened to the days when film gave voice to the voiceless? Does anyone remember art? Use one of the options below to listen and remember with me. I love you Gérard Depardieu!

Politician's Promise

Erik — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 16:22:11 +0000

Politicians throw promises around in election years like Frisbees.

No one will soon forget this one from George H.W. Bush, "Read my lips: No new taxes." Or how about Bill Clinton's promised middle class tax cut in 1992, or Nixon's 1968 pledge to quickly end the Vietnam War? Not to mention George W. Bush's promise in 2000 that the military wouldn't be used for nation building.

I'm sure 2008 will prove to be no different. Let's face it, promises are the soil out of which a presidential campaign grows…well…maybe not the soil, but certainly the fertilizer. Use one of the options below to hear from one of our sponsors that's making the most out of this crappy situation.

Valentine's Day is just a couple days away, that wonderful time on the calendar set aside to celebrate love and those closest to us.

However, for many it's a painful reminder that they don't have a mate.

For faithful Christian singles saving themselves for marriage, the situation is doubly painful…if not triply or even sextuply painful.

If you're one of those Godly people, please allow me to introduce you to eHormoney.com. eHormoney.com is the Biblical online way to find that special someone (or someones). Listen using one of the options below.

McCain Campaign Song

Erik — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 17:05:31 +0000

After a strong showing in New Hampshire, John McCain lost Michigan to Mitt Romney last night. Now it's off to South Carolina for the primary there.

McCain told supporters in Charleston, “For a minute there in New Hampshire, I thought this campaign might be getting easier, but you know what? We’ve gotten pretty good at doing things the hard way, and I think we’ve shown them, we don’t mind a fight.”

You tell 'em Big Mac! It's that scrappy, never give up, never surrender attitude that I love about you. That, and the fact that you have the coolest campaign song ever.
