LOIS LANE IN THE NEW SUPERMAN MOVIE.. has an interesting difference… if you want to know what that difference is… from Yahoo! movies, click (here)… it’s not a shocker of a surprise that will change your life as you know it, but it is a change in the usual storyline we have known of the Superman story…

THE VOICE checks in with his SPORT’S PREDICTIONS for this week… along with the usual spot-on insights and wisdom given only to two people… Superman and THE VOICE... and while Superman handles the villains from Krypton… THE VOICE let’s us know the status of SUNDAY NIGHT BASEBALL... the NBA PLAYOFFS.. THE NHL PLAYOFFS… ARENA FOOTBALL... and his journalist photo-research of the CHEERLEADERS of the world… to get these secrets there is no need to go to the cold climate of The Fortress of Solitude… or even to Las Vegas… just go to the Brian Smith Radio WORLD GREATEST SPORTS PICKS page, or even easier, click (here)…

thanks for listening… drive safely… and have a good weekend… -Brian

Greetings from the soggy Northeast…!

Here in the combined geography of Southern Connecticut, New York City, and Long Island… we have been getting the gentle shower of flooding rains from Tropical Storm Andrea… what fun…

Brian Smith says:  “…and I was out in the deluge today, helping Downtown Milford prepare for Captain Kidd’s Pirate Day Treasure Hunt this Sunday… this is my 8th year of pirate pillaging (or at least the heavy snacking) in the downtown area… it starts at noon on Sunday…  here’s some info from the Connecticut Tourism Bureau… click (here)… and any resemblance between me and Captain Kidd is simply a crazy conspiracy theory….”

THE VOICE is still in Las Vegas… he was trying to get some of the pirates from one of the casinos to fly out to Connecticut for the weekend, but they weren’t allowed to fly on the major air carriers… and that’s probably a good thing.. for this week’s SPORTS PREDICTIONS AND INSIGHTFUL… uh, INSIGHTS from THE VOICE… including a look at the NBA PLAYOFFS… SUNDAY NIGHT BASEBALL.. and ARENA FOOTBALL… along with a few CHEERLEADERS.. just go to the BrianSmithRadio’s WORLD’S BEST SPORTS PICK PAGE... or just click (here)…

Someone on Weather Underground thought Tropical Storm Andrea looked like a jumbo shrimp… who can argue with that? ….click (here)…

STORM CHASERS FIND A TORNADO… and this is what happens… I hope they can bring it back and drop it off in the parking lot without anyone noticing…  more below…

CAPTAIN KIDD’S PIRATE DAY AND TREASURE HUNT is coming to Milford... next Sunday, June 9th... Captain Kidd and his mangy gang will be arriving at Lisman Landing at high noon… any resemblance between Captain Kidd and Brian Smith is purely coincidental…

THE VOICE is on the road again… still trying to work that deal in Las Vegas… there is no confirmation of the rumor he is trying to buy a certain hotel and casino near the Strip… but we here he wants to buy the place so he can make its fake volcano bigger… last week he supplied plans for the increased horsepower of the fire and lava, but the airport is filing a complaint that is may interfere with their radar and the flight paths of some of their aircraft… officials from the Nevada Wildlife Bureau have seen the new plans and are afraid the bigger and brighter “volcano” may interfere with migration patterns of most of the birds flying over the state…  as his battle goes forward, THE VOICE has given us this week’s predictions and insights into the world of sports and beyond… SUNDAY NIGHT BASEBALL… NBA PLAYOFFS ODDS… and ARENA FOOTBALL are just part of the story… along with a photojournalism study of some of his CHEERLEADER friends he has met around the country… read and see this week’s contribution from THE VOICE… go to the Brian Smith Radio – World’s Best Sports Pick Page… just click (here)…

TWISTER DAMAGES TWISTER CHASING TRUCK… while tornadoes are causing havoc in the Midwest… more “Storm Chasers” are outfitting vehicles to get close… sometimes TOO CLOSE to weather events best left at a distance… here’s one storm chaser that had better have his AAA card up to date…  see more about it, click (here) for the story from The Weather Channel…and click (here)… from Jalopnik…

Have a safe week… before you chase a tornado, check your insurance policy… or use a company car…. thanks for listening… -Brian

…if you are reading this from another part of the country…we are having a blast here in Connecticut/New York/and Long Island… we couldn’t get enough of winter, so we are having it join us for Memorial Day… nothing is better than wearing a parka and grilling hot dogs on the patio… shivering.

THE VOICE is spending his holiday back in Vegas.. where he is keeping his hands warm by shaking the dice over the craps tables… he has sent us this weeks SPORTS PREDICTIONS… BASEBALL.. ARENA FOOTBALL… THE NBA PLAYOFFS.. and, of course, a photojournalist essay on cheerleaders he has met… it’s all yours for free.. visit the “WORLD’S BEST SPORTS PICK PAGE” by clicking the link above… or wait.. just click (here)…

…now if you will excuse us… we have to go warm the frozen burgers up by putting them INTO the refrigerator…

CAPTAIN KIDD’S PIRATE DAY AND TREASURE HUNT... Sunday, June 9th… in Downtown Milford, Connecticut..  the Captain and his crew come ashore at 12 noon… so hide your silver, gold, and cold cuts.. argh.

CAPTAIN KIDD’S TREASURE HUNT DAY IS COMING…

Above we see Captain Kidd striking the “Pirate Blue Steel Pose” (Captain Kidd’s resemblance to Brian Smith is entirely a coincidence… as is any resemblance to the complete stranger he is posing with)…

…Leading up to the surprise occupation  (June 9th, Lisman Landing) of Milford, Captain Kidd is spending much of his time trying to tame his unruly and slow-growing facial hair which tends to stick out from his face like a porcupine’s quills rather than droop, like most human facial hair… this is due to so much time pillaging at sea and has nothing to do with a steady diet of pizza and Pepsi while sitting on a couch watching reruns of NCIS…

THE VOICE is back from Las Vegas... and after his inspection of several properties we still don’t know if he found one to become the Prognosticator Resort Casino and Hotel… rumor is… he liked one of larger hotels on The Strip… and almost pulled out the checkbook to buy the place… but in the end, he didn’t like the carpeting… and the volcano outside his room kept him awake… THE VOICE has supplied us with his FOOD REVIEW OF THE LAS VEGAS BUFFETS... and that is included free of charge with this week’s SPORTS PICKS AND PREDICTIONS… to check out all THE VOICE has to offer, and his Las Vegas reviews… click on THE WORLD’S BEST SPORTS PICK PAGE at the top of this page, or even easier, just click (here)…

A beautiful weekend in the Northeast… if you are in the Connecticut/New York City/Long Island area… get outside and don’t go back in the house until Monday… drive safely… and thanks for listening…

BIG PAPI gave a rallying speech to the crowd at Fenway Park in Boston on Saturday… and used a word Red Sox players only used when talking about Bobby Valentine last year… find out more below…

THE VOICE (not to be confused with Niel Diamond) is out of town this week… sending us his predictions and insights from the Snake-Eyes Donut Den in Las Vegas… we aren’t supposed to say why he is out in Las Vegas… but did we see a prototype for a Prognosticator Resort and Casino satin jacket in the coat room yesterday?… (keep that on the down-low)… he sends us his analysis of this week’s  Sunday Night Baseball match-up, as well as Arena Football schedules, winners and losers… NBA playoff predictions… and all the sports updates you need to win an argument or host your own sports talk show… read the latest… go to THE WORLD’S BEST SPORTS PICKS PAGE… or just click (here)…

DIAMOND ON THE DIAMOND… so… I WAS AT THE PROGNOSTICATOR GRILL AND CAFE on Saturday… admiring the fine skill of multiple plated food delivery by a few of the highly trained cheerleader-waitresses… and briefly saw a bearded man at Saturday afternoon’s Red Sox home game… … the sound was off on the big screen… and I didn’t realize it was… NEIL DIAMOND… who flew to Boston on his own and asked if he could sing his signature eighth inning Fenway Park traditional “Sweet Caroline“… live… he did… and you can check out the video by clicking (here)…

It’s been a tough week for Boston, Texas, and John King… thanks for listening… stay safe… and let’s all try to keep the stupid and vain amongst us from ruining our future…
