The Fox Blog

quick hit for bloggin’ this morning.

This morning’s movie was “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad World.”  The tickets to Destinta were won by Andrew Higgins of Middletown, NY!  Kathy Korycki of New Windsor heard the “Lucky Charm” sounder, was caller number ten and won 25 New York State Lottery’s Instant Game Tickets called “Lucky Charm 3’s” and a top prize of $1500! Good luck! AND, we gave away a pair of tickets to the Broadway show “Memphis” -Darlene Benzenberg of Ferndale, NY grabbed them! Listen all day long to win!

We recapped last night’s “American Idol” with the 8 girls battling it out for a spot in the Top 12!  Who do you think gave their best performance? Who bombed out? My picks- I think Crystal Bowersox was the best performance of the night..she’s definitely safe.  And the girls that I think will be packing to go home…definitely Paige Myles  -butchered the song “Smile”…it was painful to watch and listen to… and a toss between Katlyn Epperly-I’m not feeling it for her, not sure what it is…. or do I dare say..Katie Stevens? She’s got a kicking voice for a 17 year old and I do hope she gets to say another week to prove herself!! The potential is there if she can just figure out what type of singer she wants to be!  Hopefully America got it right and voted out Didi Benami instead….last night’s performance was better than last week’s BUT her ”Megan Joy” voice is getting on my last good nerve.  She’s a sweet girl, but the voice is piercing at times. How’s that for being blunt. ))))))  The guys take the stage tonight. Let’s see what happens. We’ll chat about it again tomorrow morning at 8:10 if you’d like to chime in at 866-887-4FOX.

Forgot to blog yesterday! And for those of you that actually read the blog (like, all three of you) … sorry that I left ya hangin’.  I’m sure I’ll make up for it today. Ya ready? Heeeeeeere we go!

This morning we picked a classic for a movie. For all you Don Knotts fans, “The Incredible Mr. Limpett” was the movie and two tickets to Destinta Movie Theaters went to Laura Lee Wagner of Newburgh!  Love his movies! Another movie that Bob and I HIGHLY recommend and one that I saw last night…Academy Award Winning “The Hurt Locker!” Wow! Now I understand why it won the two awards, Best Picture and Director. The move actually won six all together. I think every single person living here in America should sit down and watch this movie! What a powerful picture! Loved it.  I have such a huge respect, admiration and love for all our military personnel, and after watching this movie, I’m even more indebted to them for life. God bless each and every one of them-we honestly can’t thank you enough!  Watch the movie, you’ll see!

How about those Broadway show tickets, huh?  We’ve got tons of them we’re giving away, so make sure you’re listening all day long! Johnny and Darcy are both giving away some too! This morning we gave away two tickets to the show “Mamma Mia”…Lisa McDermott of Newburgh got them. Enjoy! Here’s a little inside info…shhhh, don’t tell anyone BUT tomorrow morning… Bob and I will have another pair of tickets to give away, but this time it’s for “Memphis” Thurs. 3/11.

St. Patty’s Day is right around the corner and we’re celebrating by giving you 25 New York State Lottery’s “Lucky Charm 3’s ” tickets!! It’s so easy to win. Listen ALL DAY LONG for the “Lucky Charms” sounder, be caller number ten and you’ll win.  The top prize is fifteen hundred bucks!! Good luck my friend!   Remember, you must be at least 18 years of age to win, and prizes must be claimed in New York State.  This morning’s winner was Theresa Andidero of Montgomery.

The hot topic of the morning…”The Push for Junk Food Tax!”   US Health Researchers are at it once again pushing for a tax on junk food, estimating an 18% tax on pizza and soda could be enough to force Americans to lose weight.-by about five pounds.  We took your phone calls and wish we could’ve gotten to all of you, but we only have a four hour show! WOW..you’re as ticked off about this as we are!! Can you say “dictatorship”  or  “when in doubt, TAX the people.”   This is ludicrous and they’re going to get away with it! We understand the motive behind the tax, but you can’t tell us that there’s no other way to solve the obesity problem? We know it helps to contribute to overwhelming healthcare costs but obesity isn’t the only thing that does! Our listeners sounded off some really good suggestions…why doesnt’ our government ever listen to us, the PEOPLE!? Because it falls on deaf ears every single time.  Like how about starting with our kids, and fund more programs to get these kids off their rear end …or add PE to their schedule more than once or twice a week! Hell, we pay enough in school taxes to help don’t we!? I’m going to start rambling ’cause it ticks me off too. But,  I just have this one question..who in the heck is running this research, Jenny Craig..Richard Simmons…Adolf von simmons?   Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! Frustrating.

Told you I’d make up for the rants and raves I didn’t blog yesterday.

We’ll continue this convo tomorrow at 6, shall we? Join us then and have a good one!! xxxooo

Another week has come and gone.  Only this time…WE’RE NOT BURIED UNDER TWO FEET OF SNOW!! woohooo!! It’s gonna be a pretty nice weekend gang! Get out an enjoy it!

A quick recap (yeah right…not once I begin typing) of the morning:

Morning Movie Madness:   The movie “Good Morning Vietnam”…the winner…Dennis Zingarelli of Walden. Congratulations Dennis for winning those two tickets to Destinta Movie Theaters in New Windsor.  And hey…if anyone goes to see “Alice in Wonderland”  I wanna hear all about it!! Give us a call on Monday!

We’ll resume Brainbuster Trivia next week. It took a little break for a few days, but does return! 

Next week’s agenda is a good one! You’re going to love this! Ya ready…

We have your New York State Lottery’s Instant Game tickets called “Lucky Charm 3’s”  and your chance to win some money!! Wouldn’t that be nice to win some cash for St. Patty’s Day!? You could celebrate it in style, that’s for sure. How do you win? Well, it’s easy…listen all day long for the “lucky charm” sounder, be caller number ten and you will win 25…yes we said TWENTY FIVE, NYS Lottery’s Lucky Charm 3’s Tickets with a top prize of $1500! . Remember, prizes must be claimed in New York State and you must be 18 years of age and older to win! Good luck!

AND, we have tickets GALORE to send you to New York City to see a show on Broadway. This time we’re gonna share them with the rest of the crew! Yeah, Lori G was told not to hog all the tickets so now I have to share with Johnny boy, Darcy and Mary too! Even John Roberts will send some your way on Saturdays, so make sure you have the Fox locked in wherever you go!

Have a good weekend!! I’ll be back here  SANS BOB O Sunday morning if you dare, from 6a-10a. My quiet time. LOL yeah right, me…QUIET? NOT!

Oh yeah, one more thing…Fox Club Members, make sure you’re listening all day Monday!  You know what I mean! And if you don’t, that means you’re not registered for the Fox Club! Do it now..cha ching.

and we only had two school delays this morning! Woo hoo!!  AND, the week is almost over with too!

Okay. So here’s my thought at the moment. Ya ready?  As I sit here at my desk typing away, the remnants of three jelly donuts, crumbs from a BAG of dorito’s and twenty foil candy wrappers from hershey kisses are scattered all over  Bob O’s desk…all while onion permeates from the roast beef sandwich Bob O brought for lunch (by the way…he’s just finishing the last bite) and his bag of Reese’s pieces close to his side waiting to meet their demise, I can’t help but to wonder to myself….”self” I say, ”how come this man eats like an elephant…a horse…a bottomless pit -animal…and he isn’t 500 pounds!!?   Why is that?  Is it because he’s a man and has a metabolism of a race car, like MOST men do? Is that it? Or, is it that a corpse has more of a metabolism than I do and i’m just jealous because I can’t eat like that and have to work out for an hour to burn off  a carrot!? OR…could it be that I’m only five foot two ( by  five foot two, i’m a perfect square hehehehe) and everything that I eat just happens to go to my butt!!? Girls…help me out here. I think it might be that  Bob is six foot four inches of annoyance and can burn the calories. Yeah..that’s it and i’m jealous. But guess what? At lease the blood gets to MY feet!  It’ll catch up with him one day. Sorry, enough of my ranting.  

We actually got to Morning Movie Madness!! The movie was “Air Force One.” Congrats to Joan Moore of Goshen, Ny winning the two tickets to Destinta Movie Theaters in New Windsor!  Brainbuster Trivia will be back tomorrow morning as we got on the topic of the air traffic controller that LET HIS KID TRANSMIT INSTRUCTIONS TO A PILOT!! What the?  Sorry, not cute. INSANE IS MORE LIKE IT!!  Our question was, why didn’t the pilot say something back to “ground control” like..’hey kid your ham radio is interferring with this 747..get off the air! ” LOLOL seriously, what the heck are people thinking? What are YOUR thoughts?

American Idol recap: The guys took to the stage last night because of Crystal Bowersox “medial issues” that prevented her from singing. So they switched things around and the guys performed last night-girls will tonight. My thought…here’s the top 3…Mike Lynche, Casey James and DEFINITELY..Lee Dewyze!   Agree?  And i’m keeping an eye on Alex Lambert too. We’ll see what all of us think tomorrow night…elimination night.  More “AI” chat tomorrow.

And last but soooo not least….we did a story about a husband who was blind folded by his wife and told him that she had a surprise for him in the basment.  Well, she wasn’t lying because she took him down there, spun him around three or four times, made him count to a hundred and then BLUDGEONED HIM TO DEATH WITH A HAMMER!  True story. Now, c’mon. Ladies, ladies, ladies, violence isn’t needed here.  No need to get physical with your man! I have some creative ways to get back at your hubbywithouth the violence. Ask Patti O..Bob’s wife. I’ve already given her a few pointers! LOLOLOL Just kidding. Don’t go reporting me to the authorities- like someone did to an East Stroudsburg teacher!! She posted her Facebook status and said her co-workers were getting on her nerves and she wanted to kill them.  Uh…um…uh….uh oh…uh..eh hem…could this blog posting be used in a court of law? Uh…

Weeell, my friend. I think that’s enough of Lori G’s blog rantings (as Wolf boy Johnny and Bob o put it) for one day. 

Have a good one, talk to you tomorrow morning at 6! I promise, no ranting,

Maybe.

What?! No Fox Storm Center!? WOW, that’s a first- in a week!!  We actually had a sense of normalcy ( and I use that term lightly :0) ) this morning! Deborah (medium and intuitive) from Being, Knowing, Doing spent some time with us FINALLY as we had to reschedule her from last week.  We like to give everyone a chance to call in and speak to Deborah, asking those that have spoken to her in the past 30 days to please give others a chance to get to Deb.   If you didn’t get through to talk to her, visit her website, www.beingknowingdoing.com  or email her deborah@beingknowingdoing.com.   She’ll be back with us on March 25th! Mark the ‘ol calendar.

Morning Movie Madness and Brainbuster Trivia will return tomorrow, that is if Mother Nature doesn’t throw us a curveball again. Can someone give her an aspirin?

Have a good one! Talk atchya tomorrow my friend!

Uh…hello. Are you there? WE’RE HERE OR WE WERE HERE! Wheeeeeeeeeeew. What a storm that one was!!   Both Bob and I were stranded in our own homes as you probably were too! Thank you John Roberts for taking over!! Also, a big thank you goes out to the emergency personnel for bringing the jaws of life  to my home and prying me out of my house. Yeah, I had to call them ’cause I PUT ON ABOUT A HUNDRED POUNDS FROM EATING EVERYTHING IN SIGHT! WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO DO BUT EAT WHEN THERE’S NO POWER, NO CABLE AND A SNOWSTORM FROM @#%!!!! Agree?

Seriously, hope this finds you warm and safe my friend.  Please check on your neighborS to make sure they’re okay as well! Central Hudson Restoration info and dry ice and water info is on our Fox Storm Center. Check it out and pass it along to those who still do not have any power!

We suspended all contests once again due to activation of the Fox Storm Center.  Tomorrow Deborah, from Being, Knowing, Doing will be with us beginning at 6:30-taking your phone calls!  She’s our very own medium/intuitive will finally be here after rescheduling due to snow last week! NO MORE SNOW DARN IT! *remember for entertainment purposes only.

Gotta run gang! Have a good one. Talk to you tomorrow morning!!

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxooooooooooooooooo

We’ll t

snow and more snow. Three words….Fox Storm Center.

Any questions?

Seriously, this is a nasty, dangerous storm. Please, if you don’t have to go out on those roads..STAY HOME and BE SAFE!  The state, county and local highway depts are working diligently to clear our highways and roads-so stay off of them if you can!! We’ll be here for you throughout the entire storm with all of your weather alerts and closings.  So, sit back…relax and keep it here to the Fox.

Talk to you in the morning!  xxxooo

What day is it? Is it Wednesday? Ooooooh yeah, it is.  I’m losing track of the week ! Maybe it’s because I’VE BEEN IN THE STORM CENTER FOR TWO DAYS NOW! Uuuuuuuuuuugh. John Roberts has now locked me in here. Can someone come by and let me out? Please? Or could you at least bring me a burger or something?  I have a feeling we’re going to be here for another day or two. 

Well, if you’re lucky enough to have that job that closes when it snows or if you’re a kid in school..GOOD FOR YOU!  Go to the supermarket, stock up on all that comfort food and ENJOY YOUR TIME OFF!! Don’t forget the nachos and ice cream!!  On that note…

All of those closings and delays took up much of the morning so we didn’t get to do any of our regular contests or get on any hot topics.  Hopefully things will be back to normal soon! Like we said, keep it here to the Fox for all of your weather alerts, closings, cancellations and delays. 

Programming note:  Deborah from Being, Knowing, Doing  was suppose to be here tomorrow but because of the weather we’ve rescheduled her to come in Tues. March 2nd at 6:30!  Mark your calendars!

Have a good one my friend and be careful out there. Talk to you tomorrow morning!!
