The trailer for “The Amazing Spider-Man” hit the web yesterday. This is NOT a continuation of the TOBEY MAGUIRE movies . . . it’s a reboot starring ANDREW GARFIELD in the title role.
And it looks like they mess around with the origin story a little. (–The movie comes out July 3rd. Here’s the Trailer)

Podcast 8 is up and running, Stephen took off for a few days, so I decided to catch up with my old pal Dave Grosby. Some of you know him as the Groz! We sat down in a bar (I hope you were sitting down when you read that) and talked for over 90 minutes. I found out how Groz got his start, how he got to seattle, and all the places in between. We hit pro wrestling, selling used cars, the state of radio (of course), and even how to maintain a healthy heart. This is funny story after funny story, and I hope you enjoy it.
On April 23rd, 51-year-old Robin Caccavale Bottieri of Hobe Sound, Florida turned on her TV and found the cable had been shut off. So she called the cable company to ask what happened.
They told her it had been shut down over $400 in outstanding charges. When she pressed them about the charges, they told her the charges were for, quote, “pornography shows.”
And that’s when Robin realized her boyfriend had charged $400 worth of porno on her cable bill. (–His name wasn’t released.)
She confronted him, he confessed . . . and she FLIPPED OUT. She attacked him, hit him, and ended up ripping off his shirt . . . not in a porno way, but in a rage way.
She was arrested for domestic battery. For what it’s worth, the police report lists Robin as being 5-foot-3, 220 pounds. Just thought you’d want to know.

In case you missed it, a Padres fan with a broken arm caught a foul ball on Monday. MLB.com has the video. He caught it one-handed, and actually tipped it up in the air, THEN made the grab. Ironically, he said he broke his arm playing FOOTBALL.
BRYCE HARPER is the 19-year-old Washington Nationals prospect who just got called up to the Major Leagues. But apparently his slow-pitch softball skills still need some work.
There’s a new video on YouTube of Harper playing softball next to the Washington Monument in D.C. on Monday. And his first swing is a total WHIFF.
Eventually he crushes one to deep right field. But he doesn’t run to first base, so the guy with the camera calls him “rookie” and tells him to “hustle.”
Once you’re in your 50s, MMA cage-fighting is pretty much out of the question, right? Well, not for THIS guy: On Saturday, a 53-year-old named Tim Karaker went to an MMA even in Kankakee, Illinois. (–That’s about an hour south of Chicago.)
He was SUPPOSED to be there just to watch, but apparently the event was down a fighter, and someone asked him at the door if he’d fight a 21-year-old guy named Brandon Frey. And he AGREED.
The fight only lasted one round, and ended in a TKO. Because Karaker . . . the 53-year-old . . . knocked Frey down and started wailing on him.
After the fight, the guy who posted the video on YouTube asked Karaker how old he was. He said, quote, “I’ll be 54″ . . . and the guy told him he’s his new hero.
Evidently, you can now sue companies for causing dangerous levels of awesomeness.
52-year-old Henry Wolf filed a lawsuit against BMW in San Francisco last week . . . because he claims riding their motorcycle has left him in a state of arousal for the past 20 MONTHS.
It’s not that he loves the bike that much. It’s because a four-hour ride on his 1993 model cycle compressed nerves in his groin and left him with a case of priapism.
Priapism is the condition they always warn you about in those commercials for Viagra or Cialis . . . you know: A state of arousal that last for more than four hours. But in Henry’s case, it’s lasted for nearly TWO YEARS.
Henry’s suing for more than $25,000 for lost wages, medical expenses, and damages, because the problem has left him impotent.
But BMW says Henry wasn’t using the original seat that came with the motorcycle. Henry’s also suing the company that made the seat.
