Episode 7: Our New-found Wealth
Megan and Chris make plans to spend their newly-acquired millions in foreign lottery winnings and Nigerian trust fund money. Also, a drunk pony wins the hearts of many.
Direct Link
We begin with a story discussing the body language of McCain and Obama at the latest debate. Next we talk about the 'Dirty South,' of Wales that is. Iron Maiden's Dead Eddie has his say at town council in Spain.
Google's "Mail Goggle?" It was put to the test and FAILED.
Our cute, tragic, and disgusting animal included new friend of the show, Drunk Pony. Megan and Chris showed their compassion by talking about refusing to talk about an animal cruelty story that happened in Australia. A monkey seeks refuge from a dog. And finally, it's round one: Rabbits vs. Nelson Mandela and it's not looking good for the rabbits.
Megan and Chris talk about what they are going to do with their almost $10,000,000.00 that they have acquired through various online European lotteries and our dear refugee friend who is stuck in Burkina Faso. We would like you to send us an email about what you want to see us do with our money.
In "Crime" three gamers on a path to ectasty are sent to jail. A mentally ill Vermont teen plays cool by tomb raiding for a head...to make a bong.
"Pallin with Palin:" Palin lets loose with her hair. Lookin' good Palin, and we're serious.
And finally we talk about the future of transportation and discuss the practicality of it all, and subtly make a statement about our culture.
That's it for this week's episode, thanks for listening and as always you can send us an questions, comments, news stories, ideas, and theme songs at thenewscruise@gmail.com

Episode 6: Comparing Childhoods
This week, Chris and Megan debut a few new segments and argue over who had the better childhood based on parental sibling preference, creek proximity, and ice cream man frequency.
Direct link
Megan and Chris opened the show talking of an "author" telling her story Skin, one tattoo at a time. The Bollywood Strike is over. And "King of the Internet" Chris Berg explains the concept of being "Rick Rolled" to viral video novice Megan, after reporting that Rick Astley may be getting a pointless award from MTV.
In our segment "Cute, Tragic, and Disgusting Animal Stories" we announce that fish pedicures are now illegal in Washington state. In Austrailia, a snake attacks a sleeping girl. And Megan proves her superior internet skills to "King of the Internet" Chris Berg by quickly finding information about this snake perpetrator-slaty grey snake. In Taiwan, a mouse kills a snake. And finally British police taser a sheep for blocking traffic.
A new segment we called "Pallin' with Palin" contained discussion on roots of Sarah Palin's accent and her condemnation of women who don't support other women. Ahem, Sarah Palin
The "Crime" segment was fairly short this week, with an idiot who gets arrested in a jail parking lot, right after he posts bail from a previous crime. And a high school girl fed her teachers hash cakes.
"Science Time!": Why having affair could kill you. High fertility and high voices in women go hand in hand. And finally, one British jerk says that UFOs have been among us since the 1940s and is aiming to one-up us Americans.
Lastly, we had a new segment called "News Cruise for the People," basically human interest stories that didn't fit any where else. These included a grandmother lost in Italy was found. In Cambodia, a couple makes a quite literal divorce. And finally, we concluded with a story about American jerk Richard Fuld getting punched in the face.
Chris and Megan end the show with talking about hurting themselves.
Note: We decide that Europe cannot be a definite enemy of the show. We'll take it on a case by case basis. For example: "Fusion Man" (see episode 5)-friend. Cops who tasered sheep-enemy.
Things you should do:
1. Submit a theme song for the show or any segment on the show.
2. Send us stories about someone getting face-punched
3. Tell a friend about the News Cruise

Episode 5: Inspiration and Unspiration
This week Megan and Chris make it to the booth without any stumbles or rain. We dedicate the first half of the show to inspirational tales, and the second half to ruining the good feelings from the first half.
We also opened up the hour with our new theme song--thanks goes out to Jessamyn Stanley, WUAG news director, for her vocals!
Direct Link
The first hour was filled with inspiration of people "making it" by getting a new prosthetic leg over a pint. A girl deals with being blind 3 days of every six. "Fusion Man" makes it across the English channel flying "a little bit like a bird." What else made it? Falcon-1 made it. Where? TO SPACE! And finally Clay Aiken came out of the closet. Who knew?
After all the inspiring stories, crime befell the second hour of The News Cruise. A drunken man farted on police officers. "Grade" students making "super-meth?" You bet. A tragic animal crime story was brought to us from Brazil, where a man thought he could get away trafficking 200 birds. One of the best crime stories of them all: Guy uses Craigslist to make a successful armed robbery
To end the hour we discussed a Wall-Streeter turned monk. And finally, The News Cruise made a new enemy of the show: Australian 'Rangas (red heads). Who denies a free trip to the zoo?
To catch our listeners up, here is a reminder of our friends, allies, and enemies that we've made on The News Cruise:
Enemies:
Europe
Australian Redheads
Friends & Allies:
Australia
"Fusion Man"
Craigslist robber
And the bus driver/driving thief.
As always, if you have questions, comments, news stories, or would like to submit a theme song that you've created (for us, The News Cruise), you can email us at TheNewsCruise@gmail.com. Or tune in every Thursday from 11p-1a on WUAG 103.1 FM where we can be reached by phone (assuming we're not on the air) at 336-334-5450.
