Our Burgeoning TV Career, NBA Lockout Ads, The Worst Job Ever. Bacon Cologne


In case we had not told you, Wex and I have been doing a little moonlighting for Houston's newest Television Channel 57 The KUBE.  We are hosting DJ and a movie Saturday nights at 8pm.  Here's a sneak preview of this week's flick, "Booty Call".
