Pandora Radio has Comedy

Pandora Has Comedy and I Have Financial Spreadsheets!

A good friend of mine took me out to dinner tonight (thanks Fat JJ!) and I was telling him about my website and how I surprise myself with my ability to write a new article five days a week. I was raving about my creative genius and my ability to write something awesome and creative every day. And of course, I get home for my nightly blog post and I’ve got nothing. So much for the genius that is Kevin McKee.

I may not have any financial epiphanies for you today, but I do have some super interesting news stories.

Pandora Radio has ComedyPandora, the online radio station that plays only music you like, now offers stand-up comedy. The fact that they made something so awesome exponentially better is almost incomprehensible, so kudos to my friends at Pandora. I created a new station for comedy like Daniel Tosh, and the first clip I heard was a fart joke. Perfection!

Speaking of flatulence, two boys in Ohio were suspended from school for farting on the bus. The article says the boys were “…repeat offenders with a history of passing gas on the bus,” which only makes me proud of them. Call me old fashioned, but until they are lighting their farts on fire (which is a real thing, search for it on youtube) I think it’s fair game.

In other kid news, a mom is giving her 8 year old daughter botox injections so she can be more competitive in beauty pageants. First of all, this is disgusting. Second of all, this is disgusting. I don’t see how this could possibly be legal. Someone call CPS.

Since I don’t have any new personal finance revelations today, I’d like to share an oldie but a goodie. For those of you that haven’t been here very long, you may not know about my Downloads page. You can get free copies of any of the songs I’ve recorded and/or some of the spreadsheets I’ve made to help you understand your finances. My favorite is a handy-dandy retirement calculator called The RC. You can go to the Downloads page and get it there, or just download it right here.

The RC (Retirement Calculator)

If you’ve ever wondered how much you need to save to reach your retirement goals, this spreadsheet will give you everything you need. Just put in all your information, like how old you are, how much you have saved, how much you’re going to save, and your expected rate of return, and the spreadsheet will tell you if you will meet your goals or not.

It’s pretty slick. Give it a shot and let me know how you like it. If you’ve never seen the power of compound interest in action, it’s flipping sweet!

That’s all I’ve got for you this week, so if I haven’t quenched your personal finance thirst yet, here are some cool articles from PF Blogs I’ve liked this week:

P.S. If you are a very astute observer, you may have noticed a change in my favicon (the little picture to the left of the url in your address bar). Is that a hint of a new logo to come? I guess you’ll just have to come back next week and find out.

  1. AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs

    Slacker.com internet radio has had a comedy channel for as long as I can remember.

    I always wondered why Pandora didn’t cover comedy before. I always figured it was because Pandora has gotten so mainstream that they would get in a bunch of trouble with a million soccer moms over over racist and sex jokes (you know, the stuff that makes standup comedy comedic). The comedy channel on Slacker is explicit. … Very explicit. They don’t seem to edit or bleep anything.

    If you want internet comedy, it’s worth checking out!

  2. I wonder how funny their comedy will actually be and who will be doing the comedy on the site

  3. Nice Favicon. Hey, I have an idea. You should put your picture in the $1,000 bill and use it as the banner. What do you think? 🙂
    That kid with the farting problem should get a lawyer. What if he has gastrointestinal problem? Farting is a natural function of the body, why hold it in? Do you want to explode?

    Thanks for the mention!
