104.3 JACK FM has a not so secret obsession with time travel. We discovered this love back in the 80’s with Back to The Future and it continues now with Hot Tub Time Machine the lastest flick from MGM pictures, releasing Friday, March 26th.
The movie sets on the premise of 3 friends (John Cusack, Rob Corddry, Craig Robinson) and a young kid (Clark Duke) related to somebody in the movie or maybe a few people we don’t want to give it all away… Ready to get away for the weekend when they stumble upon their old vacation site, not quite the way they remembered it.
They hop in a Hot Tub, apparently also a time machine, bringing them back to the days of Duran Duran, INXS, Poison, Motley Crue and everything else 1986 like Jheri Curls, Leg Warmers and ridiculous outfits.
We don’t want to give away everything else but there are some laughs, tears, scandals, bathroom scences, bear costumes, and “Great White Buffalo” references that we’re still figuring out.
JACK sat down with the cast of the film, and here’s our first set with Rob Corddry and Craig Robinson. We loved them in the Heartbreak Kid and The Office respectively. You’ll love them here. Just try not to get too dizzy. Our camerawoman had a few bloody marys before the shoot.
Need privacy for racy or embarrassing texts? TigerText is what you need! No need to end up like that famous golfer, with TigerText your text messages will self destruct for you. This app for iPhones lets your messages self destruct as soon as 60 seconds after the message is received.
The name of the company apparently has nothing to do with the recent Tiger Woods scandal but that the publicity sure does help. For $1.49 a month Tiger could have saved himself a lot of trouble.
The TigerText website says, “TigerText is different because, even though it looks and feels identical to a normal text message, the content of your message is never sent to the recipient’s phone and you control when the message is deleted from our server so you control the lifespan of the message!”
TigerText is only offered to the iPhone and iPod Touch but will be available to Blackberry and Android phones soon.

Raizo (Rain) is raised as a child by a clan of ninjas to become one of the deadliest Special Ops ninja assassins in the world. But after his girlfriend (also a ninja) is killed for being a traitor, he begins to harbor resentment towards the clan until he can become strong enough to defeat them.
This crazy ninja-action film is filled to the brim with martial arts and katana sword fights. The film has received mediocre reviews, mainly dealing with the lack of an overall “plot”. (more…)
We found this gem online of Red Hot Chili Peppers doing a rocking cover of Jimi Hendrix’s “Foxy Lady”. The music is rocking but what blew our minds completely was at about :25 in you realize Flea is thrashing upside down.
Record giant EMI is in deep right now with classic rock gods Pink Floyd. The band, who has stood by their albums as complete artistic works, is lashing out against the online practice of selling “singles” on Amazon or iTunes. Everyone knows the best way to enjoy Darkside of the Moon is in it’s entirety… played to Wizard of Oz… which is the way the band always intended it.
The band has won a long battle against EMI for unpaid royalties and as part of the settlement, may have protected their music from being released as singles. EMI has pulled the ability to download Pink Floyd from the online stores for now.
Not sure what it spells for the rest of online sales, but it is looking more and more like a return to the “album only” days.
Apparently TSA hates the fact that we have to wait to take our shoes off at airport security as much as all of us passengers do. The security personnel at Palm Beach International Airport recently asked at a board meeting that the carpet in the security check-in area be replaced. The cause: stinky feet.
Security officers complain that the area smells horrid due to the stench of passenger bare-feet in the area. After careful consideration, it has shown that the carpet may be easier to be completely replaced than shampoo it.
Our friends at TheBachelorGuy.com turned us onto a hometown creation that we just had to share with you. Upscale downtown steakhouse David Burke’s Primehouse has entered into the ’scented candles’ business with a new line of Bacon Fat Candles.
David Burke’s, known for some of the best steaks in town, has a new table-top attraction made out of bacon fat. The lit candles dot all the tables in the restaurant and if the smell of fresh bacon wafting through the air isn’t enough – you can go ahead and pour the candle on your food when it comes out.
An edible bacon candle? Our minds were fully blown. I’d like to see that girly “Spring Breeze” or “Clean Linen” candle double as a dinner side-dish. Point: Bacon Candle. Or should we just call it a Bandle?
“Practice does not make perfect. Only perfect practice makes perfect.” Robert De Niro will sure have to bring his A-game when he portrays legendary coach Vince Lombari in a movie about Lombardi’s time with the Green Bay Packers. Although De Niro is an Academy Award winner; does it compare to being in the Hall of Fame? Looks like we will just have to wait and see.
The movie about Lombardi is set to be released the weekend between the BCS championship games and the Super Bowl in 2012. We just hope with all this hype, they don’t ‘drop the ball’.
So we all know that doing anything while driving can be seriously risky. Well apparently the Florida Keys didn’t get the memo. A Key West resident actually attempted to drive her 1995 Ford Thunderbird while shaving her under region.
Megan Mariah Barnes, who has been convicted of many driving infractions, including a DUI, told a Florida State Trooper that she was one her way to meet her boyfriend and wanted to be ready for him. Barnes had her ex-husband, who was riding in the passenger seat grab the wheel while she took care of business down south. (Sidenote: How awkward was this car ride??)
Going a decent 45 mph, Barnes rear-ended the car in front of her who was slowing to make a left turn. And of course Megan Barnes decided it would be a good idea to flee the scene and switch seats with her ex-husband while still driving so that the police would think that he caused the accident.
This multi-tasking Floridian was charged with leaving the scene of an accident. And because of all of her prior traffic violations she will most likely be enjoying some time behind bars.
