Hello Mancavers,
We are less than 48 hours away from the end of school and I just completed my last exam. And by completed, I mean failed my ass off.
How you ask?
With three simple steps.
Enjoy!
Let me know if you yourself are also an expert at this three step plan.
Hit me up on Twitter right here!
This time YOU get to fill my shoes.
This week, I thought of tweeking my podcast just a bit. It could be because I’m feeling jolly thanks to christmas being less than a month away. I LOVE CHRISTMAS!
My podcast this week has turned into a BLOGcast, not because I’m lazy but because I want to let you feel what it is to have the POWER!…..but mostly it’s because I’m lazy….KIDDING!
What power am I talking about? the power for you to TRASH ME on MY all time favourite movies. I usually trash movies that don’t live up to their hype. This week, I thought it’d be nice for you to see what movies catch my interest so you can see what I love watching and for YOU to get to review my interests. Be RUTHLESS! DON’T hold back! if you hate my movies, let me know! if you love em, let me know! I don’t hold back at all! I don’t expect you to either!
Without further adew, Here are my top 5 favourite movies of ALL-TIME:
1. 40 Year Old Virgin
The 40-year old virgin will always be my all-time favourite movie. The first time I watched it, when I was like 13 (hey, don’t judge!) I died of laughter. From chest waxing to a big o’l box of porn, every scene in that movie was hilarious. I loved it so much that I watched it probably over 20 times and by the end of it all, I knew all the words to the movie. Mooj was my favourite character
2. A Bronx Tale
This is one of the two movies that I own on VHS. I am a big fan of Mafia/ Italian Mobster movies. A Bronx Tale ranks at number one for me. Ahead of Goodfellas and ahead of The Godfather. Fuhgetabout it! One of the reasons why I love this movie is because of the connection you make with each character. Each character represents a different dimension of me. You’ve got your funny Joe, Serious Joe, deep Joe, crazy Joe, etc. This movie also has tons of memorable and thought provoking quotes. Call me corny but there are a few of them that I even live by. One of those is the door test. Oh baby does this ever work!
3. Forrest Gump
Forrest Gump’s acting was phenomenal and the plot was great. It’s an entertaining movie, and just like A Bronx Tale, this movie had memorable quotes, scenes and characters! Bubba-Gump Shrimp, Lieutenant Dan, Run Forrest run!) Awesome.
4. Silver Linings Playbook
Okay, I’ll be honest here. I’m a sucker for romance movies. I’m not afraid to admit it! They’re actually really good, man! Once I seen it, I fell in love. The ending was spectacular. It brought the whole movie together and just made you say “AWWW!!” I MIGHT have shedded a tear….maybe….possibly…okay, did BUT how could you not cry after this?!
5. Borat
VER NEZ! SEXY TIMEZ! need I say more?
There you go, your honour! My top 5 favourite movies of all time! I backed up my choices with good reasoning (I hope). Now it’s all left to you! rip me into shreds or applaud my interesting movie choices.
Send me your reviews @JoeyCast93
If you need help on how to rip me a new A**hole, listen to these! Here & Here
Just don’t let the power go to your head!
It’s time for a name change.
Why could the label that your parents put on you be so bad? There’s only one reason why your name could be so important this time of year…CHRISTMAS!
He’s making a list and checking it twice, and he’s going to find out who’s naughty or nice…
– actually he already has –
Santa has already made a list of the top 3 Naughty names of 2014 and yours might be on it! So if you really wanted that xbox 1, ps4 or new car…you’re going to have to email the big fat man with the white long beard yourself. Hey, I can talk bad about him, I’M ON THE LIST!
Without further adew, here are the Top 3 naughtiest names of 2014:
3. Will & Olivia
2. Cameron & Bethany
1. Joey & Ella
Is your Ex’s name up there? Is YOUR name up there? if so, join the club! and to make things even worse, mine is number one! Like c’mon Santa, cut me some slack! I only swore like no more than 2,000 times this year and I only lied like 8 times…okay thats a lie, it was like 20 times…BUT STILL! I deserve that ps4! I almost gave that homeless person $1 but then I remebered I was hungry so I bought chips, it’s the thought that counts right?!
Meh you know what, I’m not going to beg. I’ll be happy with my lump of coal. My heater is broken anyways so I need something to warm my house.
But for you! if your name is on this list, how are you going to prove to this fat guy – who can barely fit in chimneys and tight red pants – that you’re nice? Luckily for you, you’re motivated and don’t give up easily like I just did. You have 1 month to show you’re worthy to be switched over. My advice, buy a lot of milk and cookies.
But, my advice on staying on the naughty list? Don’t change your name, buy Santa veggies, a treadmill and a scale and you’ll be just fine!
Let me know what your ideas are for getting on the nice list -> @JoeyCast93
In the meantime, I’ll be enjoying my lump of coal and eating like a King on Christmas.
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
This next movie was not so stellar.
This week’s episode of Box Office Blunders has me reviewing the sci-fi-ish? movie Interstellar. I saw it on the weekend and once again I found another bust….not BLOCKbuster. It’ll make you cry, find out why! Enjoy!
Got complaints, praises for me or ideas for other reviewable movies? You know where to go! @JoeyCast93
Rainbow Cinemas at Woodbine still has 5$ Tuesdays and Thursdays, if youhave 3 hrs to waste and a map or GPS, go and watch it!
I made a Ouija reference from my 1st episode. If you missed last week’s innaugural episode, take a listen here
Pepe Le Pew still has better game than my cousin Cris.
My video blog follows my cousin Cris on his journey to………holla at a girl.
If you have trouble getting girls, DON’T take tips from my cousin Cris. Watch his journey of getting a number….I mean “trying” to get a number. See how he does! Trust me, after watching it, you’ll have the confidence to ask that girl you admire, out. There’s no way you’re as bad as my cousin Cris.
Enjoy!
If you think you can do better than Cris, give it a shot! Go to Vaughn Mills and make the same stops! DM me your results here.
And if you do plan on going, find closer parking spots.

She obviously gets her good looks from me.
You can look like a million bucks by only spending 20.
Halloween is crazy expensive, heck for a costume alone, you’re down 60 bucks and thats without the make up and wig. (You’re lucky as hell if your costume comes with one.) Costume shops forget that you’re a college student and you can barely afford to buy food for the week let alone a costume for one day.
I’m hear to change that.
Last year, my sister (above) had tons of people comment on how wicked her costume was and their first question was, “How expensive was that?” Her response, “it costed me two big mac combos, 20 bucks” My sister is not a make up artist, not even close to one, she can barely paint her own nails BUT she is creative and mad cheap. That deadly combo created one, budget friendly and epic Halloween costume. You’re in luck because I’ll tell you what she used and where she bought it so you can create your own budget friendly

costume for this year.
6 Things she used:
1. Liquid Latex -> $7.00 at Party Market in Woodbridge
2. Fake Blood (2) ->$2.00 at Dollarama
3. White Shirt-> $2.00 at Value Village
4. Jeans-> $7.00 at Value Village
5. Red Hair Dye-> $1.25 at Dollarama
6. White Paint-> $1.00 at Dollarama
Grand Total: $20.25
Quick point-> My sister used a lot of her own make up like mascara and eyeliner for the shading and colouring around her eyes so that saved her money as well.
If you have any of the 6 things she used at home, use it! Makes your life easier and your bank account happier!
Once you have all the ingredients to make this epic costume, get to work on your face and costume. My sister just used scissors and cut up her white shirt then she splattered a tube of fake blood all over her shirt. It was a DIFFERENT kind of wet t-shirt contest. Jason OR Freddy Krueger would have probably had an extra knife in their pocket when they seen that 😉
Like I said earlier, my sister isn’t a make up artist, she used this video tutorial as an outline to help her create her face but then she spun it her own way. Here you go, enjoy!
To show off your makeover, there’s three Halloween events happening at Linx this week.

So one of the hardest times of the school year is upon us. I’ve seen this season mess with my friends to the point they’re injecting coffee into their veins and pulling their hair out until they could pass for Dr. Evil. I hate to see this happen to my friends, so I’m offering up these little tidbits of advice that have gotten me through some dark times. With any luck, they’ll work for you as well as if not better than they have with me. Enjoy!
Setbacks. We all have them. But it’s how you deal with them that counts.
I’ve dropped 80 pounds in the last year and a half. Guess what happened in my life that made me finally decide to do something about my weight? My brother having a heart attack at 37 and dying. My parents died young too – both from cancer. All three of them were quite overweight for most of their adult life, and they never exercised. Well, their bad habits caught up to them and now they’re paying for it. That was what lit my butt on fire to do something about my own weight problem. I want to be around long enough to dance at my (future) kids’ weddings and meet my grandkids. So, I completely changed my habits. I started eating healthier, going to the gym more, walking my dog for an hour every day, drinking more water, etc. I worked hard despite the constant cravings for junk food, and I’ve gotten good results.
Today, I had another setback. I got pulled off the air from 96.9 for the time being. My traffic reports have been a mess and there have been issues with how I sound on the air. Yes, I do feel crappy about it, and no one is kicking my butt more than I am right now. But mark my words: just as I turned my weight problems around, I will turn this one around too. I happen to know that I’m not the only one who got pulled off today. Don’t take this lying down! Use this as inspiration to perfect your craft! None of the best broadcasters were amazing at first. My plan is to spend a few extra hours in the studio every week and practice – treat the studio as if it were an actual radio station, so to speak. Imagine how awesome it’s going to feel at the end of the year if you literally went from being so bad that you got pulled off the air, to being really good at the on-air stuff. Not to mention what that kind of thing will say about your work ethic.
THAT is the key to handling setbacks in life. Whether you’ve been fired, or you’ve been unlucky in love, or whatever else – don’t let these things knock you down. Learn from theem and aim to do better. You gotta believe in yourself too. One day, when I had first started the weight loss journey, I was going through some of my clothes. Every now and then, I held up some beloved item that was too small for me, go up to the mirror, and literally tell myself “You WILL fit into this again.” Not only did I manage to fit into those items again, but a lot of them went to Goodwill eventually because as my weight went down, they got to be too big for me. Learn from your mistakes, work your butt off, and believe in yourself. You’ll succeed if you truly are determined to do so.
So tell me, how do you handle setbacks? Tweet me @Linda_Morgan82
