Jack Doesn't Know Jack: A Swisher That's Not A N.Y.Yankee!

Jack Doesn't Know Jack: Lights, Camera, No Action!

I decide to take my girlfriend to the movies for a nice romantic evening. However, my choice of movie leaves a little to be desired “Earth Girls Are Easy” (You can see where the romance might have come into play….right?) After the flick, she storms out of the theatre. What movie should I have chosen?

A: St. Elmos Fire
B: Aliens
C: The Terminator

Jack Doesn't Know Jack: Willy Wronga & The Chocolate Factory

Chocolates are always a good idea and the bigger the box, the better! But, as the day wore on, my stomach was growling louder & louder. “What could one piece hurt? I can just shuffle the rest around and she’ll never know!” Well, one lead to another and another. Well, she got an almost completely empty box of chocolates. What should I have done?

A: Always keep a bag of Hershey’s Kisses on hand in the truck to refill the box.
B: Get the “Buy One, Get One” special after Valentines Day.
C: Or simply…Never sample the Sampler!!!

Jack Doesn't Know Jack: Boom Box Bust Out...

Not being completely confident in my singing abilities, but still wanting to serenade my girl outside her bedroom window….I grabbed my Boom Box and proceeded to blast Sister Christian by Night Ranger! After the cops were called for disturbing the peace, I realized that maybe I should’ve picked a different song. Should I have picked….

A: I Hate Myself For Loving You by Joan Jett & The Blackhearts
B: Anything by George Strait…He’ll help you everytime.
C: Centerfold by J. Geils Band

Of course the answer is B. Congratulations Sarah Gaffney of Rhinebeck! You won The Wolf Prize Pack! 2 tickets to Million Dollar Quartet and a $50 Gift Card from 1-800-FLOWERS. Now you’re in the running for the Grand Prize…a $200.00 Gift Certificate to Ship Lantern Inn!

Jack Doesn't Know Jack: Epic Flower Fail!

When picking up my first love for our very first date, I thought it would be a GREAT IDEA to bring Dried Flowers instead of live ones. I thought it would be easier for her to cherish them by pressing them in a book. Didn’t go over too well. What should have I done?
A: Collected live flowers from the neighbors flower bed.
B: Collected the flowers that fell on the field after the homecoming celebration.
C: Just called 1-800-FLOWERS.

Of course the answer is C. Congratulations Allan Dolan from Kingston! You won The Wolf Prize Pack! 2 tickets to Million Dollar Quartet and a $50 Gift Card from 1-800-FLOWERS. Now you’re in the running for the Grand Prize…a $200.00 Gift Certificate to Ship Lantern Inn!

My Prank On The WPDH Morning Show.

Yesterday I played a prank on the WPDH morning show. My friend (and fellow Giants fan) from the town police dept dropped by the studios to lend me some NY Giants swag to decorate the studio. Everyone saw him walk in alone. He left with me. One of the best on the spot pranks ever. Thank you to Coop, Kricket and Jonna Spilbor for laughing!

My Life: #2 - "I'm A Klutz!"

Ya know, it's not easy being me. Light on my feet...sometimes. A klutz? MOST OF THE TIME! I came in today feeling pretty good. Had a nice weekend. Giants lost. My wife is away on business...nothing earth shattering That is until my clumsey side showed itself this morning at 5:15. Getting ready for the show doing my usual until....I trip over the studio chair, go flying and slam my hand into our internet computer keyboard. Smash hand onto spacebar and voila! Spacebar no longer works. So as I type this, the space bar is missing, using a pen to hit the little "space button" where the bar use to exsist and its taking forever for me to type this entry. I now have to explain to our engineering dept how I'm an idiot and how I broke the spacebar. This should be good...I'm a KLUTZ!
Welcome to my life!

Veterans Day: A Day Of Celebration and Rememberance...

Today is a day to reflect, on the men and woman who have each shown their love for our country and family by serving in our military. We hug and hold our service men and woman that have returned safely home to us. We remember those who are gone. It is with a tear in my eye that I type this today. I come from a military family, most of whom are gone. But all served and served proudly. To my family that defended and held postions on Omaha Beach and on the shores of Italy during WWII, I salute you. To my family that served in Korea keeping the DMZ secure, I salute you. To my father, who served in Vietnam. I am so proud to call you dad. I miss & love you and mom very much. I hope that I served with as much honor and courage as all of you. To all of my friends that are currently serving, I love you all. Stay safe. To families that have their members serving in our armed forces, all of our hearts are with you. No matter how tough times get, just know this...you are never alone. You have respect, support and love from all of us. Thank you for your strength and THANK YOU to your family members for keeping us safe and free. God Bless our Armed Forces and God Bless America.

Hammer's CMA Picks!

Taylor Swift

Male Vocalist Of The Year
Keith Urban

New Artist Of The Year

"My Life": Episode 1

Ya know, every now and then certain Things" happen in my life that I need to share with you all. Don't ever think "Why does this only happen to me?" Oh No, my friends! You can guarantee that it's happened to me too. So, for my first intallation of "My Life", I just want to point out that so far, every morning this week, when I go into a commercial break, the VERY FIRST commercial is the ad about "Low Testosterone". You know the one "Are you half the man you use to be?" What the hell??? Is this the girls in the office having fun with me? Or is it a sign from the Lord above? Either way, it can only happen to me. Welcome to "My Life".

Have a great day!

Sometimes They Come Back...

Hi All! Here's my 1957 Chevy that I sold 10 years ago to my friend. He brought it by the station today for a visit. Man, do I miss that car!!

Jack Doesn't Know Jack: The Grand Prize Winner!

CONGRATULATIONS to Marie from Fishkill! Marie was our Monday qualifier. Marie you are now the winner of a $100.00 Gift Card from Staples! I would like to thank Staples for providing the daily $50.00 gift cards as well as the $100.00 Grand Prize! Thank you so much to Staples for your generosity! Enjoy the rest of the Summer!

Jack Doesn't Know Jack: Literature...Oh boy...

for my Lit class, I had to read an Edgar Allen Poe story and write a report on it. Easy enough. So, I read the story on my trusty Ipod and thought it was a great idea to begin the report with the opening line of the book So, I wrote “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times” I got an F!! Why!?!?!

a. It was one of Poe’s earlier lesser-known pieces and wasn’t accepted for the assignment

b. Maybe I should have used “Cliff notes” and not “Murray’s Guide to great Lit papers” , because the story I read wasn’t written by Edgar Allen Poe , but rather Charles Dickens “A Tale of Two Cities”

c. Because my spelling and punctuation were almost non-existent

Congratulations to Kelley from Otisville for knowing that the correct answer was "B". Thank you all for participating this week! Good luck to all the finalists! One lucky person is now going to win a $100.00 Staples gift card! Stay tuned to see who it is!

New Photo Trend! Horse-Manning...It's actually kind of funny!

The photo is an optical illusion that takes two people to pull off: One person poses so you can't see their head. Either by hiding it behind something, or leaning WAY back and the other person poses so you can ONLY see their head. The result makes it look like one person's been beheaded with the head sitting next to them. And a lot of times, the person who's been beheaded has their arm touching the other person's head, so it looks like they're holding their severed head.

This is actually a photo trend that started about 100 years ago! If you want to send me your Horse-Manning pictures, I'll post the really cool ones on this blog! Send your pics to

wolfman943@gmail.com

Lets have some fun!

Jack Doesn't Know Jack: History

History..specifically Auto history, because really is there any other kind of history??? I saw an on-line ad for a ’57 Chevy, talked to the guy who said it needed abit of work, I made an appointment to see it. With check in hand, I rush over to see it. But when I got trhere, the check went right back into my pocket. I knew right away it WAS NOT a '57 Chevy. What was wrong with it?

a. It had huge tail fins
b. It had 3 speed shift on the column, otherwise known as 3 on a tree
c. It had 4 headlights

The correct answer is "C". The 1957 Chevy had only 2 headlights. Congratulations to Hope in Pleasant Valley for knowing the correct answer! There's just one more round of Jack Doesn't Know Jack tomorrow at 6:50. Then be sure to listen at 7:50 to see who won the Grand Prize, a $100 gift card to Staples!

Jack Doesn't Know Jack: Chemistry and The Clogged Drain!

I Had a clogged drain...I remembered back to my high school chemistry class to use 2 common household ingredients to create a drain opener instead of spending money on the name brands. Well, as I was getting ready to pour my volatile concoction down the drain, my wife came in yelling….”STOP!!! Please don’t blow up the house”

Here’s my choices, what should I have used?
a. Bleach & peroxide
b. Lemon juice and table salt
c. Vinegar & baking soda

The correct answer is "C" Vinegar & Baking Soda! Congratulations to Sally in Rhinebeck for knowing the correct answer! We'll play again tomorrow at 6:50!

Jack Doesn't know Jack: The Math Problem.

Okay, as most of you might know, I had a flood in my kitchen and had to order new flooring for my 215 Sq. Ft. kitchen. Basically, when the boxes of flooring kept coming in, I realized that I had way too much flooring. What did I do? Did I mistakenly...

A - Order the flooring in square feet?
B - Order the flooring in square inches?
C - Order the flooring in square yards?

The correct answer is...I ordered it in "C" Square Yards. Oops!
Congratulations to Lisa from Kingston for knowing the answer! Oh well, anybody need flooring? LOL! Tune in tomorrow at 6:50 for another edition of Jack Doesn't Know Jack: Back To School!

Jack Doesn't Know Jack: Back To School Edition! Subject: Foreign Language

While station in Germany in the Army, I was starving one day and asked a local..."Wo ist der Bahnhoff?" Now, I got a weird look from the guy because I was rubbing my belly as I asked this question. What did I actually ask him?

A - Where is the cold beer?
B- Where is the mens room?
C- Where is the train station?

The correct answer is "C". No wonder he looked at me strange. He must have thought "This guy is here to protect us? From what? He likes to eat trains!" :) Congratulations to Marie in Fishkill for knowing the correct answer! There's more to come tomorrow at 6:50!
