So... its that time of year once again folks, when you all get to put your lives on hold for a beat, listen in to some strange voices beg you for money, berate you really, with the end goal that you'll hopefully pony up some coin to support your local listener supported radio station. However, here at WVBI "Where Listeners Come First..." we have seen a dramatic down tick in annual revenue. Its true. This is none the more evident than in our flag shit show Monsters in the Morning where listener support has dramatically declined. Needless to say, we can barely pay the water bill. And we use a lot of water here. There's a lot of big thirsty guys and gals who love that chi-town tap, and well, they are in risk of not having that thirst quenched. So give us a listen, open your hearts and hopefully your wallet will follow. We apologize.
It's fall, or as the ancient ones used to call it "autumn". But we all know what time of the year it really is: Game Time? You bet! Join your pals Mike and Charley as they chew up and spit out nothing but the sweet stuff. You know what I'm talking about. If its Chicago Sports News the Monsters have you covered. So tune in and turn on to the only podcast we know of currently devoted entirely to sports...and big cat.
Hello, how are you?
Have you been alright through all those lonely
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely nights?
That's what I'd say, I'd tell you everything
If you pick up that telephone, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, how you feelin'?
Are you still the same, don't you realize the things we did
We did were all for real, not a dream
I just can't believe they've all faded out
Of view, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh
Blue days, black nights
I look into the sky (the love you need ain't gonna see you through)
And I wonder why (the little things you planned ain't comin' true)
Oh, oh, telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight
Okay, so no one's answering
Well, can't you just let it ring a little longer
Longer, longer oh, I'll just sit tight
Through shadows of the night
Let it ring forever more, oh
Blue days, black nights, doo wah doo lang
I look into the sky (the love you need ain't gonna see you through)
And I wonder why (the little things you planned ain't comin' true)
Oh, oh, telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight

Football is a game of numbers, its as simple as that. So here at MITM, we strive to break down those numbers into a more palpable and easy to swallow nugget so even the most novice of fans can enjoy the intricacies of this game we hold so dear. From stats to scores, PATs and FGs, two minute warnings and time outs, we take it all apart so you don't have to. Enjoy the crunch.
The Monsters in the Morning in cooperation with Shitty for Shitty Shorts is proud to present to you Poop Dreams. Follow along with a young, talented, giant, breathing, stinking, piece of living fecal matter as he "shoots" for his dreams of one day playing in the NBA. Will he overcome adversity and make a "splash" in the top basketball league in the land, or will his hopes be "flushed" down the toilet yet again.
So here we are, wow. Maybe its the cool August wind, the dew resting upon the lamp post or the crisp apples ripening in orchards across the land. Whatever it is, one truly can't deny a feeling is in the air. A feeling of what though? Hope? Sure. Freedom? Of course. Love? Yes. Fun? Yea. Happiness? Sure. Glee? OK. Refinement? Ummm, yea I guess. Jolliness? OK. Peace? Correct. Love? Again, yes. Good Times? Sure. But more importantly its a feeling of hope. Hope that fall will once again come round, lift us upon it's brisk and spicy wind and welcome us back home. Embrace the feeling and bask in it's soft and warm bosom.

What exactly is the problem? It's a question that has plagued mankind for hundreds if not thousands upon thousands of years.
