Do we live in a great place or what?

My many thanks to everyone that came out to the Atlantis on Wednesday to help the Tahoe fire victims. We put out the call for water, personal products, pet food, household items, cash, and more. You responded with (9) Fed Ex semi trailers stuffed with goods for those that need it the most. Plus...over $200,000.00 in cash for the Red Cross. I have had a few people thank the morning show for what we did....to be honest..we didn't do anything...you did! All we do is ask...and this community ALWAYS responds in a big way. Thanks again....talk to you in the morning

Farmers Market

You may have heard us talking about the Sparks Farmers Market. We had a great time last and had some great thai food from this booth right next to our tent. Thanks to everyone that stopped by and said hello and that you enjoy listening to the show. We do like hearing that every once in awhile...it makes it worth getting up at 4a. My only question about this year's market is...where are the veggies and fruit? It doesn't seem like there are that many fruit stands this time around. Oh well...hope you have a great weekend. Talk to you in the morning!

America's Got Talent?

What is with America's Got Talent? This show was designed to find new talent from many different walks of life to win $1 million bucks. There are some decent acts on the show and a few William Hungs.

Last night this show sunk to new levels when they featured a guy in his early 20's that breaks stuff with his butt! Yes...his butt! He would tighten up his boxers like a thong in his...well you know(to use it like a vise grip). he would then put pencils, rulers, spoons, you name it. Is the type of talent we have in Reno/Sparks/Carson. We are going to do a talent competition to find the true talented people.....keep listening. Talk to you in the morning.

Stupid picture of the week/Super Heros

America's youth...you gotta love 'em!!!

Rosie...come on down?

Now it has been no suprise that I'm not the biggest Rosie O'Donnell fan and her mouth. But...the news coming out over the weekend about her as a possible new host for the "Price Is Right"...isn't the worst idea in the world. I could see her doing it...and actually being pretty good at it. Yes..no one can ever replace Bob Barker. But, maybe this is what this show needs...a woman with a big mouth and a lot of energy to spin that big wheel. I was then thinking....who else????

Connie thought....George Hamilton! Not bad...but when the ladies would hug/kiss him the spray on tan would come off on their clothes/lips.

My other thoughts....
John O'Hurley
Barry Williams "Greg Brady"
Jason Alexander "George"
Steve Martin

Oh well....we'll see in a few weeks. Talk to you in the morning....

A week and not a peep from Paris!

Well it was a week ago today that Paris was sent back to jail kicking and screaming. It shocks me that nothing else has happened...and she has behaved herself. I will not trash her...in fact I have gained a drop of respect for her for to live up to what she did.....and I'm not talking about her probation/traffic citations. The reason she is in the slammer is because she show disrespect for the courts and the system. If...Paris played the game, dressed up nice, showed up on time, replied yes/no sir/madam...she would be out enjoying life. The sad news is Paris never learned those lessons from Mommy and Daddy Hilton....she has to learn the hard way behind bars.

I hope Paris means what she says in that she is a changed woman. She has the power and wealth to do a lot of good...in this screwed up world.
Talk to you in the morning...have a great weekend

Never enough time in the day....

Did you ever have that feeling when you looked at your desk, saw a pile of work, threw up your hands, and said screw it! Today was one of those days...yes, even for people in radio. It's not all just having fun and talking in between songs...we have real jobs too...like you. We even sometimes wake out of bed at 4a wondering how we are going to get through the day and somehow/some reason we get through it. When you see me out sometime...I will tell you more about my other duties here at the radio station like cleaning toilets and taking out trash. Tomorrow is a new day...can't wait to tackle it! Talk to you in the morning....

Madonna and JFK Jr

We talked about this in Hollywood Trash this morning! Madonna and JFK Jr...that would have been something. His bio "American Legacy" was just released and it reveals that both of them checked into some cheap hotel in Chicago in the late 80's and they were going to get..well busy. When Madonna used ner noodle and figured out Johnny Jr didn't have the proper battle gear...the spark was gone forever!!!! The kicker is she was married to Sean Penn at the time...he didn't have a temper. Remember the camera guy incident...talk to you in the morning.

Make them work for it....

This morning we had a topic about kids that may be spoiled and don't always appreciate sometimes how good they have it!

A Mom called talking about her 12 year-old with his issues. She had a very cool idea...make him work for his allowance like a job. Yes..we all had chores as a kid and if you took out the trash/whatever...you were given your weekly wad of cash. She made her child apply for a job at the house...
*made him fill out an application
*interview
*has performance reviews
*gets paid weekly for a job well done.
*1/2 goes to him...the other to 401k(savings account)
Best thing about this...SHE"S FIRM! If he only does half the work...he only gets half the pay...no running to daddy. Kids can't learn if we just open the wallet whenever they want something...I applaud this Mom for teaching her child a valuable lesson that will pay off in a big way. Talk to you in the morning...

Way to go Judge...send her back!

Non stop CNN, NBC, and everything coverage...feels like OJ all over again.

Miss Paris is back in the slammer today...and loving it. Yes...they are making an example of her...but she has gotten off the hook so many times..payback is a %$#@! If you do the crime...do the time...that simple. Talk to you in the morning..

Where is the justice!

So I'm still rolling in disgust after hearing the news of Paris Hilton being released after only three days in the slammer! According to the press conf. this morning...it was because of medical reasons. Yes...they discovered she had no brain. What kind of example does this set for people that break the law and young people that (god knows why?) look up to her. If the tables were turned...I would be in jail for the full 45 days. According to reports...jail isn't all that bad. Her last night featured hotdogs and Brad Pitt's "Troy" for movie night. Let me see...a few days left alone in your own cell, hotdogs, and movies...is there any room at the inn. Just joking Trooper Chuck...you had Connie going this morning.
Talk to you in the morning.

New to this kind of thing!

It scares me to think in a few months I'm going to be 36...yikes! I'm starting to feel like I'm getting old...body aches, go to bed early, look to save money, and start talking like my Father(looking like him too..a little less hair every year).

Is it me...or are teenagers different these days? When I was a teen in the 80's we had fun and got into a fair amount of trouble when our parents were not around. You may have heard the show earlier this week when we were talking about the "straight edge kids". These are the ones that are against drugs, drinking, and pre-marital sex. It all sounds good...but SOME/not all of these kids make up for the bad with cussing and fighting with those that don't believe in their cause. Just because you "say no"...you shouldn't be able to tell your elders to go f^$# themselves...and that happened at the Relay For Life this last weekend. When these "straight edge kids" were acting up...they were asked to tone it down at 3a with the cussing and picking fights with others. Their reply was a bunch of 4-letter words. Yes, I was no Angel growing up...but I always showed respect(I never grew to like the taste of Zest). Talk to you in the morning!
