Budweiser Buddy Cup Is A Bad Idea [VIDEO]

Brett Alan — Tue, 07 May 2013 17:20:06 +0000

There are certain things that you shouldn't do when you're drinking. Obviously driving is on that list. I think calling ex-girlfriends should be out. Texting should be out all together.

Social networking, too, can be a bad idea when you're drinking. Which is why the Budweiser Buddy Cup could be a very bad idea.

Being A Dad With A Daughter Is Becoming Tougher Every Day

Brett Alan — Thu, 02 May 2013 15:57:21 +0000

It's a girl!

I was so happy to hear those words. When my daughter was born, the nurse was taking all of her vitals, and she said, "Congratulations, Dad, you have a baby girl!" She then took my little girl's foot and covered it in ink to take a footprint. That footprint was then mashed on the back of my hand, and the nurse said, "Get used to it, Dad, this isn't the last time she's going to walk on you."

A big thank you goes out to everyone who joined us out this past Saturday to Walk A Mile In Her Shoes! The day was perfect for the walk, with temperatures in the upper 60s and lots of sunshine. So how did I do? You can see for yourself right here! [onescreen item="5066679"] Thank you [...]

Brett Learns To Walk In High Heels For Walk A Mile In Her Shoes [VIDEO]

Brett Alan — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 18:48:28 +0000

As you may already know, I'm walking in a walk this Saturday (April 27) to help bring an end to rape, sexual assault and gender violence. Walk A Mile In Her Shoes involves (mostly) men walking in women's shoes, not because it's comfortable but because, as the saying goes, you really can't understand what someone is going through until you've walked a mile in their shoes.

What Are Some Strange Things You Believed To Be True As A Kid?

Brett Alan — Thu, 11 Apr 2013 15:17:03 +0000

When I was little, I was always taught that if I bite my nails or knuckles, it would make me sick. A friend of mine was recently talking about how they had their little brother convinced that water towers actually held gummy bears. It's amazing the things we believe when we're kids only to find out when we grow up that they're ridiculous.

Help Put An End To Domestic Violence With Brett Alan And Walk A Mile In Her Shoes

Brett Alan — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 17:27:28 +0000

I'm ready to get a little uncomfortable for a little while to bring attention to something that is ugly and no one else wants to talk about. My question is going out to the guys: Are there any out there that are man enough to join me?

Yup...time to put up fellas. Get those high heels out. I'm about to walk a mile in her shoes.

What's the Weirdest Compliment You've Ever Received?

Brett Alan — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 15:42:50 +0000

When I was in high school, I was dating a girl who told me about a “compliment” that her friend’s dad had said to her about me. It really was meant to be a joke and was said in the best possible way, but it just seemed really strange to hear it. What he had [...]

Jessica Krouse is the First to Beat Brett Alan at SongPop!

Brett Alan — Fri, 01 Mar 2013 19:45:26 +0000

It had to happen sooner or later right? I've been taking people on day after day at a game called SongPop to kind of help take our minds off of work for a little while and give you a chance to win some prizes. Although up until today I was undefeated. I've tied a couple times, but never been beaten. I can no longer say that.

If you missed the World’s Largest Singles Party last Friday, you missed a good time. There was tons of stuff to do. From karaoke to a DJ, trivia and live music, we had it all. Along with our friends from our sister station at The New 96.1 Joy-FM, we started the fun a little early. [...]

Brett Gets A Wardrobe Makeover

Brett Alan — Fri, 11 Jan 2013 16:53:47 +0000

For almost 12 years now I’ve been coming to the station for the night show. It was not out of the norm to see me wearing a hooded sweatshirt and jeans. Now that I’m at the station when other people are there, I decided to at least start wearing button down shirts. But today, I [...]

Brett Alan's Embarrassing Adventure

Brett Alan — Thu, 03 Jan 2013 01:12:07 +0000

My family and I were blessed with a gift for a vacation at Niagara Falls’ Great Wolf Lodge last weekend. It was incredible! If your family loves water parks, I would highly suggest it. But there’s something you should watch out for if you don’t want to be embarrassed like me! While we were enjoying [...]

Brett Alan Solidifies His Rank As Worst Fisherman Ever

Brett Alan — Tue, 13 Nov 2012 00:43:20 +0000

Today was a great day for me. I was so proud to have my kids begging me to take them fishing. As we sat there casting out into Lake Erie from the dock, my chest swelled with pride to think that my kids were looking up to me as one of the best fishermen they've ever seen. That ended rather quickly with just one dumb move.

My Favorite Veteran, My Dad

Brett Alan — Sat, 10 Nov 2012 16:58:02 +0000

It’s Veteran’s Day weekend and we here at WYRK would like to thank everyone who has served and is currently serving in our United States Military. I would like to take a couple seconds to stop and say thank you to one veteran in particular. He’s my favorite veteran. He’s my dad. I never really [...]

Brett Alan Dresses Up Like Guy Fieri For Halloween [PICTURES]

Brett Alan — Fri, 26 Oct 2012 00:52:45 +0000

I've been kind of only going half at it for the last couple years on Halloween. You know what I mean. You get a "costume," but you really don't put much effort into it. This year, though, I said in the summer that I was going to dress up like Guy Fieri for Halloween.

Brett Alan's Trip To The Renaissance Festival

Brett Alan — Wed, 08 Aug 2012 03:30:06 +0000

Over the weekend I had my first chance to head up to Sterling, NY to visit The Renaissance Festival. Now admittedly, I’m not normally into this kind of thing. The dressing up in costumes and talking in silly accents isn't really up my alley. But this was the “Highland Fling” weekend and because we are proud of our Scottish heritage, my family decided to go check it out.

Brett Alan's First Car Accident [PHOTOS]

Brett Alan — Wed, 08 Aug 2012 03:02:28 +0000

I have always considered myself to be a safe driver. I’ve been driving since I was 16 and am now 34 years old. That means that I’ve been driving for 18 accident free years. That changed yesterday as I experienced my first accident. It was a moment that could have been avoided too if I [...]

A Couple Things I've Learned From My Dad

Brett Alan — Sat, 16 Jun 2012 18:45:42 +0000

Being a dad isn't as easy as my dad made it look. It kind of is a trial and error kind of thing. You have to pick your battles. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose (hopefully you win more battles than you lose). The important thing is that when you do lose a battle you learn from it. Here are just a few of the lessons that my dad taught me as I was growing up.

Brett Alan's Must Do Summer List

Brett Alan — Fri, 15 Jun 2012 04:01:15 +0000

There are certain things that have to take place for the summer to be official. Things that I have to do and places that I have to go. I guess you could consider this my bucket list for summer, only they're things that I have to do before the summer ends, not before I die...hopefully.

Saying Goodbye To My Minivan

Brett Alan — Thu, 07 Jun 2012 01:36:33 +0000

Today I said goodbye to a friend. Well, it was really my vehicle. But honestly I feel like we’ve been through a lot together. Today it was time to say goodbye to the minivan that I called “The Mothership”. Don’t worry, I’m not crazy. I know how ridiculous that sounds to be a little emotional [...]
