Hey everybody. Just wanted to wish you all a merry Christmas and a safe and happy New Year! The Joe Crummey Show will return on Monday, January 5th!

Investigators say recently found remains are those of three-year-old Caylee Anthony. Casey Anthony’s parents continue to plead their daughter’s innocence. How far would you go to protect your kid if he or she killed someone?
The car industry has its bailout, but the payback is that they’re going to have to take a lot of direction from the government.
The Duggar family just welcomed their eighteenth child into the world and they say every one of their kids is a gift from God. We’ll talk to some of you who grew up in big families and see if it was everything it’s cracked up to be.
Tonight’s our last live show before Christmas. For the most part, the holidays are a wonderful time. But. Yes, there’s a “but.” There are things to hate about Christmas too.
Every kid in my son’s class gets to make a holiday card for the teacher, whether they contribute to the fund for her gift (like my boy did) or not. That’s right; socialism is even creeping into my kid’s life.
If you think Barack Obama will support gay marriage, you have the wrong idea. I don’t think he minds if you think that, though.
Rebecca Hancock left Grace Community Church after they told her to call off the relationship with her boyfriend. Even though she has willingly left the fold, they’re still going to make her “sins” public after the new year. Church leaders say it’s gotta be done, in accordance with the book of Matthew. I wouldn’t want to be in her shoes.
Our government thinks t.v. is so necessary to us that they’ll subsidize our ability to receive it after the switch to all digital in ‘09. I’m not sure I’m okay with that.
Chrysler is shutting its plants down for a month, but don’t feel too bad because their worker’s will still get 95% of their pay and benefits. Makes you feel really good about bailing the industry out, doesn’t it?
There’s a program in Tucson that seeks to have addicts voluntarily sterilized. They get three hundred bucks after they get their baby factories shut down. Is this a good idea?
When it comes to teen sex allegations, a double standard still persists. The subject has come to light again, since a PTA official in New York was caught with a 13-year-old boy, both parties half naked in an SUV.
You’ve heard about Drew Peterson. His third wife’s death has been ruled a homicide. His fourth wife vanished and that looks very suspicious. Now, a fifth woman is taking the plunge with this character. The only thing I can figure is that Future-Mrs.-Peterson-Number-Five is out of her mind.
Michael Turney had a plan for all those explosives police found in his Valley home and tonight, we can tell you who his intended target was.
John Walsh and family are getting some long needed closure regarding their murdered son Adam, but it brings to light the exaggeration we hand our kids when it comes to “stranger danger.” I’ll give you some numbers as we begin tonight’s show.
Six-year-old Adolph Hitler—of Holland Township, New Jersey—didn’t get his birthday cake from Shop Rite because the store owner couldn’t bring himself to sell a cake with that name on it. Would you do it?
Wanna be buried with your cell phone? Apparently, a lot of people do!
An Iraqi journalist hurled his shoes at President Bush yesterday. A lot of people are saying it’s just what he deserved and I want to know if you feel the same way. Personally, I might toss my sneakers at him for his refusal to address the border situation. By the way, if an American did that to an Arab leader, there would be hell to pay.
Two weeks from today, you’d better make sure your Arizona license plate is visible in its entirety or you could be paying a sizable fine.
Maybe the company you work for has cancelled this year’s Christmas party because they can’t afford it. I’ll tell you what Scottsdale business did manage to have their two million dollar bash though.
Is comedy getting over itself and venturing into the realm of the politically incorrect these days? If so, I’m all for it!
Michael Turney was arrested after a huge cache of explosives was found in his Phoenix home. Police also evacuated the neighborhood as a precaution and brought in cadaver dogs. It all began as a search for clues in the 2001 disappearance of Turney’s stepdaughter Alissa. We’ll hear from neighbors who say it was no secret this guy was a nutjob.
We’ve got the story of a marriage proposal gone monumentally wrong. It’s tragic, but maybe it can make us feel better about our own offerings of love gone horribly awry.
I’m constantly learning new things. This week, I learned to pronounce “Blagojevich.” We’ll talk about what makes that guy tick—and—what’s with his giant head of hair?
After we’ve talked about this “pay-to-play” politician, we’ll move on to Sheriff Joe’s new “pay-to-eat” policy for inmates.
What happens if the automakers don’t get a bailout? If they get incredibly desperate, will we get incredible deals on cars?
30-year-old Elizabeth Ortiz was arrested today after her baby apparently died of suffocation. It looks like the mother did it accidentally, but drugs may be involved. Ortiz initially fled authorities, but returned later to own up to what she had done. Do we give her credit for having the guts to turn herself in?
A North Carolina mom wants Hanukkah music included in Murrayville Elementary School’s holiday pageant this year. My response is, what Hanukkah music? Is there any?
More people are applying for food stamps and free lunches since the economy went into the toilet. Yes, times are hard, but it’s a real loser who can’t even feed his kids.
Women will break up with a guy over a rotten Christmas gift. Come on! Don’t you guys care about us more than that?
Get ready for the blame to be spread around tomorrow because the automaker bailout died in the Senate. You probably won’t hear anyone blaming the auto workers’ unions, even though they deserve it.
I got a call from my wife today, saying my kid is having trouble in school. His teachers are talking ADHD and “special ed,” whatever that means. My son isn’t stupid, by any stretch of the imagination, although I admit he’s different. What should I think of all this?
There’s talk of preparing fifth and sixth graders for gun violence in school. Is the risk so great that it’s worth scaring them to death?
Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich is on the hotseat after being caught on tape talking about what Obama’s empty Senate seat is worth. Obama and strategist David Axelrod have been contradicting each other on whether the President Elect has spoken to Blagojevich or not. Well, has he?
And, there’s a poll asking women how old they were when they felt their sexiest. I don’t think guys—if they’re being honest—would agree with the most common answer.
Equality Action Now leader Tina Reynolds is staging a gay-out on Wednesday. She wants workers to call their jobs and say they are just too gay to come in. The idea is to protest voter-approved anti-gay marriage legislation. I emphasize voter-approved because I think that’s the adjective that should end the matter.
A Scottsdale couple has their baby back—thank their lucky stars!—after a car thief sped away with him. The thief abandoned the car, presumably, after he realized he had a little passenger along. I think you’ll agree, this happens way too often. Should there be charges here?
Barack Obama admitted it to Tom Brokaw over the weekend. Oprah Winfrey says she’s done it too! They’ve both fallen off the wagon at times.
We’ll also hear a deeply disturbing recording of accused serial shooter Dale Hausner, as he apparently jokes about murder with his little girl.
