Reckless Drinking Finally Pays Off

'Frat bro with keg stand experience' needed for Reckless filming

By Philip Weiss/Live 5 WCSC

Filming is underway in Charleston for Reckless, CBS's newest legal show, and producers are looking for a number of extras, including a "male frat bro" with "keg stand experience".

Extras between the ages of 18 to 25 are needed for a frat house party scene that will be filmed Thursday evening and into the early morning, according to the Facebook page CBS Reckless Extras. 

Reckless is looking for extras who are real life couples who must be comfortable kissing on screen, male and female college types, and a "male frat bro to do a keg stand". The bro must have keg stand experience, and will be drinking water or some other non-alcoholic drink.

Additionally, if the "frat bro" has a six-pack, he must be comfortable with no shirt on.

Extras will be paid a guaranteed $58 for 8-hours of works, and time and half after that.


You mean I could have had a career in acting all along? I thought the big time TV networks only wanted quasi talented actors for tired, retread cops shows and sitcoms with unfunny people. Who knew they were hiring fat slobs to take keg stands.

I wonder if there is some place I can send my resume. Keg stand experience? Well I don’t like to toot my own horn but I’ve been known to drink in excess, upside down while doing very few pushups.

Maybe my college roommate still has a picture of me doing a keg stand. Honestly, I’m better with a beer bong but I don’t want to ruin the director’s creative vision. Oh, what’s that? It’s going to be filled with water or some other non-alcoholic beverage? Pass. I’d rather play a raped corpse on SVU.

P.S. – No dude with significant keg stand experience has a six pack so that just walked out the door. And time and a half? How the hell is doing one keg stand scene supposed to take longer than eight hours? That shirtless sap is going to get pretty damn water logged.

BYB Top 25 Countdown - #12 Oklahoma State Cowboys

OSU LB Shaun Lewis

Coming into this season the biggest question is which of the Cowboys’ impressive quarterbacks will be the opening game starter? That decision got easier to make when Wes Lunt opted to transfer to Illinois.

The battle now is between Clint Chelf and J.W. Walsh, with Chelf, who started the Cowboys’ last five games and threw for 1,500+ yards and 15 TDs, looking to be the favorite heading into fall practice.

Should Chelf go down Walsh is an apt replacement as the sophomore also threw for just over 1,500 yards and 15 TDs in 2012. Both quarterbacks will have the good fortune to pass to some of the Big 12’s best receivers in Josh Stewart, Tracy Moore and Charlie Moore.

The offensive line returns three starters that helped OSU be the fourth best total offense and third best scoring offense in the NCAA.

On defense the Cowboys return seven starters led by All-Big 12 caliber defensive tackle Calvin Barnett and linebacker Shaun Lewis. Both will be expected to help develop young, promising players like defensive Tyler Johnson in order to improve the team’s turnover rate that was the best in the nation in 2011 but slumped last season. Senior Daytawion Lowe leads an experienced defensive back group.

The Cowboys were picked ahead of rejuvenated Texas and conference stalwart and intrastate rival Oklahoma by the media during Big 12 Media Days. Okie State will have to play ride out a season with a bull’s-eye on its back while developing a struggling defense.

That will be too much to ask for an entire season and I don’t see the Cowboys escaping Austin with a win Nov. 16. They’ll also be pushed in home games against TCU, Baylor and Oklahoma but the confines of Boone Pickens Stadium could give them the edge. I have Oklahoma State at 8-1-3.

Meeechegan Man Handling

Police: Man arrested for masturbating while riding bike through The Diag

Kyle Feldscher/annarbor.com


University of Michigan police arrested a man who was masturbating while riding his bike through The Diag Monday evening, which is the second arrest for public masturbation in two days.

Police received a call about the man at 6:41 p.m. Monday and responded to the Diag on the University of Michigan’s campus. The 46-year-old man reportedly was riding a bicycle with his shorts down and fondling himself, according to police.

Responding officers located the man and arrested him. During the arrest, police found what they suspect were drugs on the man.

The man was released and awaits potential charges from the Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s Office.
The arrest came one day after a 52-year-old man was arrested for masturbating during the showing of Skyfall, the latest movie in the James Bond series, at the Ann Arbor Summer Festival.

Look, there’s a time and place for everything. But the time and place for masturbating is not at 6:41 p.m. on the University of Michigan campus.

There’s no bigger proponent of multi-tasking than yours truly but you can’t just go rubbing one out while you’re cruising the campus on two wheels, especially with your shorts down. If this move is going to be attempted at all one has to be stealth about it. You can’t go pedaling down the Diag (whatever that is) bopping your bologna like you’re invisible. It’s just bad form, plain and simple. Get your shlong off of your Schwinn.

I will play devil’s advocate for a moment though and say that something about the Michigan campus must bring it out of folks, pardon the pun. The UM cops caught a dude cranking it the day before during a James Bond showing on campus. Of course, when treated to a two hour showing of Daniel Craig’s abs he probably didn’t stand much of a chance. Pee Wee Herman would have already enjoyed a couple cigarettes in that situation.
