Show host ANTHONY KINGDOM JAMES welcomes RJ, CBC producer (and current AKJ documentary film director) JOHN CHIPMAN and special surprise guest "International Wrestling Superstar" HORNET. Together they discuss bringing the behind the scenes problems involved in bringing new projects to the audience at large, what it's like to clobber pre-teens for a living and what it's like to carry RICO MONTANA's bags on the road to wrestling events. And of course, TJ HABIBI is along for the ride.

Video Blog: Kingdom In Las Vegas

As the world waits with baited breath for Your Hero to get off his lazy duff and put a few new episodes of HGC Radio on the interwebs, Kingdom actually has a new blog project going on over at KingdomJames.com. It's called "101 Things To Do In 1001 Days". It's kind of a bucket list project, where, as the project title implies, Kingdom has set himself 101 tasks to complete in 1001 days. (Never fear, kids. One of the tasks is "restart HGC radio and get to at least episode 100".) Anyways, here's a video of AKJ's first project weekend, wherein he accomplished three of the 101 tasks.

Check out the complete "101 Things" list and the continuing project blog in "THE VAULT" at www.kingdomjames.com

The Worst Thing You'll Ever See #9: Bollywood Terminator

Now that Arnold Schwarzenegger is out of the California governor's office, he's already talking about getting back into films.  He recently said that he lost an estimated $200 million in personal revenue from Hollywood during his tenure in Sacramento.  Here's our advice for Arnold:  Buy the rights to remake THIS Bollywood action movie and you'll have a sure-fire hit on your hands with "Terminator 5"!

Buy Me Stuff: Flip-Out Keyboard for iPhone!

My favorite cel phone of all time is still my old Danger Hiptop/Sidekick.  The flip screen that opened to reveal the full QWERTY keyboard?  Magnificent.  It was a sad day in your Uncle Kingdom's life when that phone died.  I've been using the Apple iPhone (first the 3G and now the 4) for the last almost three years... but it just ain't the same.  But now, a ray of light shines down from the heaven that is ThinkGeek.com.

Introducing the TK-421 (HA!  Star Wars reference!) Flip-Out Keyboard for the iPhone.  Look at that thing!  It's gorgeous... and I must have one.  An actual physical keyboard is, at least for me, vastly more desirable than a purely touchscreen device, but I've never liked Blackberrys.  The TK-421 connects via Bluetooth rather than by any kind of docking connection, which worries me as far as battery usage goes, but if it operates half as well as it looks, this could create cel phone nirvana.

The TK-421 is currently on sale for $40.  I'll let you know if it's any good.
