The Joe Schmo Show

Can SPIKE pull off the greatest hoax in television history and prove that there's still one last great guy on the planet? Premiering January 8 at 10/9c, The Joe Schmo Show follows one contestant who believes they are competing to be a bounty hunder expected to win $100,000.

This isn't the first time SPIKE has attempted this. The first Joe Schmo Show was pretty exciting and pinning the famous phrace heard around the world "what is going on?".

This looks to be pretty good, but I think SPIKE may have kicked up the fake factor to high. But that's pretty much any reality TV show. I have high hopes for this show. I'll be watching and trust that if it sucks you'll hear about it.


Taking Out the Trash

naked man, snow, funny, comedy, lol, msn.com, afterthelevels.com, cory blaze
There aren't too many people out there who would be willing to take out the trash in freezing cold weather… wearing only underwear.

This is one brave man, but the kids love it. It's one of those moments in time that the kids will remember for awhile.

My dad would do something silly like this.

The Flip Side - Dating

This video from The Flip Side made me laugh. It's shrouded in so much truth, slightly embellished for entertainment value but the rooted in todays flip of how relationships are handled. Enjoy.

Celebrities Come Together to Sing Emotional Tribute to Newtown Shooting Victims

There have been many tributes that have been done for the victims of the Sandy Hook shooting. This particular tribute performed by the cast and contestants of The Voice is the most powerful in my opinion.

My heart, tears and prayers go to the families, victims, and the community of Newtown, CT. If there was a way I would remove all your pain.

Shaq Launching His Own Vodka

From our friends over at Yardbarker.com; Shaq reportedly launching his own line of vodka.

shaquille oneil, vodka, drinking, afterthelevels.com, cory blaze,

Who's the first person you think of when you feel like reaching for that old genie-in-a-bittle to make like all better again? Why, Shaquille O'Neal of course.

The Kazaam star is launching his own line of vodka strangely called "Luv Shaq" and the only thing odder than the name is the face that the B-52s didn't think of it before.

Shaq joins a long list of celebrities who have found gold in the form of hot-tub booze attached to their names.

The former NBA star and current TNT analyst plans to launch the brand early next year and, for all those health nuts out there - and we mean you - you'll be happy to know that it is sugar and gluten-free.

The New York Post reports that Luv Shaq comes in coconut flavor, and the bottle features an image of O'Neal with giant wings. If you look closely, you might be able to spot Kobe Bryant glaring over the feathers.

Drew Adleman, founder of Devotion Vodka, which is producing Shaq's elixir, told the Post that it will directly compete with Sean "Diddy" Combs Ciroc, but at a "more competitive price."

Hopefully these shots will go down a lot smoother than the ones Shaq used to tank at the foul line.
Our prayers and thoughts are with the victims and their families. I also hope this mutants soul burns in hell for eternity.

We must do something to stop this type of violence. It's no longer a tragedy, it's an epidemic plaguing this country.

Meggings; A New Fashion Trend for Men

Take the jean fabric away from the skinny jeans, replace with a body clinging cotton/polyester blend and you have Meggings. It's leggings for men.

The Internet is all a buzz over this new fashion wear for men. Meggings, leggings for men. WHAT!

meggings, men in tights, bulge, leggings for men, afterthelevels.com, cory blaze
Every time I hear the word meggings something in the pit of my stomach just screams… WHAT! What guy in their right mind would wear meggings? It's bad enough women think leggings are acceptable outside of house wear. When actually they're not!

Skinny jeans show too much on a guy, or in some cases smashes to much. Now the new fashion trend meggings… WHAT!; removes the smash factor and just displays every crevice of the male bulge. How about we just skip wearing meggings and walk around town in tightly-whities. How are meggings going to look on a guy that wears boxers? Now men have to be concerned about underwear lines! What the hell is going on!

I can understand long underwear/long johns. But what separates long underwear/long johns are you're only going to wear those around the house to stay warm. No guy is going to throw on their long johns and hit the pool hall with buddies. No chance in that happening.

This new meggings… WHAT!, will appeal to the skater boys and emo kids. Also the guys that just want to show off every single ripple of their "carry on luggage".  This kind of wear for women is acceptable, men I advise you not. If you have to, keep it between you and your love one… or a group a friends that will drink and make fun of your little bitch girly tights.

Get something more respectable for yourself or your man.

Is "Storage Wars" Real

I've been saying this for some time now, in the words of Jack Nicholson "this ain't reality TV!"

Don't believe what you see on TV or in pictures to that point. Nothing, anymore, is what it seems. This is a reblog from our friends over at MSN Money

Ever wondered how much of reality TV is phony? A new lawsuit involving "Storage Wars" may shed some light on the issue.

Dave Hester, the man whom "Storage Wars" fans love to hate, claims in a blockbuster lawsuit that he was fired from the hit TV show after complaining that it was faked. This case should make viewers and investors question what is "real" on reality television.

"Storage Wars" follows the adventures of a group of people in Southern California who buy abandoned storage lockers in the hopes of making a profit from the contents inside after only getting a brief glimpse of them before the auction starts. It is hugely popular, attracting the 8th biggest audience this year among basic cable shows in the coveted 18- to 49-year-old demographic, according to TV by the Numbers. 

The show wasn't what it appeared to be, according to Hester's lawsuit, which claims producers paid for one of the show's female cast members to have plastic surgery to enhance her sex appeal. An A&E spokesperson couldn't be reached and Hester didn't return an email sent through his website. The network's parent, A&E Television Networks, is a joint venture between Walt Disney and the Hearst Company.

Kris Humphries Shot Gets Blocked by Ref?

This was too funny to pass up. I have always said that some of these NBA refs want as much exposure as the players, they will do anything.


That dumb ass ref could have just blown his whistle. That simple. But he knew that if he reacted the way he did we'd be talking about it today.

Big Lots, Big LIES

I'd like to meet one person who has actually completed the purchased of an advertised product from a Big Lots store. When is someone going to call this discount chain on the fact their advertised items are never available on their shelves.

biglots.com, big lots, store, consumer warning, consumer alert, false advertising, afterthelevels.com, cory blaze
Big Lots is a closeout retail chain with thousands of stores across the United States.

This is the thing, Big Lots sends out these emails with some amazing advertised deals. Like most of us this time of year, we're all shopping for deals. You see these deals, hop in your car and beat cheeks to your local Big Lots store. Only to discover, their shelves have everything else but what was advertised.

This has happened to me to many times, I'm now never going to shop Big Lots again. Of course Big Lots can offer you discounts other retail stores can't, but I'd rather pay and extra dollar to know the product is going to be in stock. When you add it all up, it's actually costing me money to be dispointed at Big Lots. My gas, my time, and my attitude.

Big Lots is a Big Lie plain and simple. Big Lots gets away with this because the stores can prove they had the advertised item on its shelves, what they won't say is they only had 3 of that specific item and two employees stashed it for themselves five minutes after the store opened. Trust me I know, I had a friend that worked for Big Lots when it was MacFrugals.

You've lost a customer in me Big Lies… I mean Big Lots.

Truvada, The HIV Prevention Pill

This is remarkable, but I think it may become a pass for a lot of unprotected sexual activity.


hiv, pill, FDA, abc news, afterthelevels.com, cory blaze, science, weird, new, breakthrough,
The cost of the pill is pretty high. But why would you want to lay with someone that has HIV. This can all be avoided if we were just more of a selective country. Meaning select your bed mates better. Understandably some people contracted HIV unwillingly, however those that do no have HIV shouldn't take this as a free pass to do whom ever you want. Remember the study found 70% less, that still leaves a 30% chance.

How Quickly We Forget

The Red Cross is overwhelmed, people are still without power and clean water, Americans are going hungry and the world is concerned about Kate Middletons morning sickness. How quickly we forget.

kate Middletown, hurricane sandy, superstorm sandy, american red cross, afterthelevels.com, cory blaze
Never mind there was a huge ass storm that is being referred to as "Katrina for Jersey". Never mind the over 400 lives that were lost. Never mind the fatherless children and motherless daughters. Forget the business owner that was already running on a shoe string budget and couldn't afford the insurance to rebuild his business. Never mind any of that, the royal family is having a baby.

Who gives a flying crap. We are such a short minded world. Have we forgotten? Have we stopped to really take account of what is important? Has every news media outlet just turned the cameras from life to infatuation? Why have we forgotten?

It's times like these you can fully gage why the world is the way it is. If the talking moving picture box tells us to change our focus we instantly follow. We're slowly becoming mindless drones, slaves to the media hype machine.

People, think for yourselves. It's still an acceptable thing to do.

And to the rest of the world. When your foes start bombing the hell out of your country don't come to the US for protection, ask the Royal family of Psy. You give them your attention, why not asked them to protect you.

Memories Through Music

Think with me for a second. You sit down with your ipod in your hand, pull up your itunes library and hit shuffle. A few songs come on to get your foot tapping, then "that song" starts to play. Your mind instantly is taken back to a moment in time. Your entire being is transported emotionally. You can recall the smells of the moment, the feel of the moment, maybe even the actual day and time. This all came about from the memory of music.

music, emotional, memories, afterthelevels.com, cory blaze
As I was driving home tonight from doing laundry I did just exactly that. I connected by iphone to my mp3 player connection in the car and Whitney Houstons' Saving All My Love For You began to play in the shuffle. My eyes started to water up because that song reminds me of my first ever crush.

Another track followed, Why Does It Hurt So Bad , and I started to think about one of my close friends and the pain he is dealing with from a recent break up. The words of that song were never so powerful before this moment in time.

Music has a very powerful effect on our lives. They can bring good times to mind and bad. Some songs are produced to induce joy, excitement, and can even influence a nation. I may be a talk show host, but one thing is certain music has a profound effect on my life and plays a key role in moments of time.

Take a second, maybe dig deep into your music library to find that one or two songs that take you back to that moment that only you and maybe one other person shared. Harness the power of memories through music.
