Have a good one. Talk atchya tomorrow! )

Look at that. How fast did your Friday get here this week?  And as Darcy blogged, yes it is Super Bowl weekend and yet another reason to pig out! Although I disagree with my friend as far as adding it to the list of “holidays to pig out” on. I thought everyday was a reason to eat the saltiest things on earth!  No? What!!! It isn’t? No wonder I’m retaining more water than the Hudson River has in its bed.  Jeez Darce ya should’ve told me that! hehehehe! 

Hey check this out! We gave away a whole bunch of tickets to see “Rock of Ages” for this Sunday night at 7:30!! Congrats to Wendy McCaw, Rene Vinciguerra and Sherri Dolan!! The girls are all going to the show Sunday Night! I’ve been hinting to the boss man all morning long to let me gather up a bunch of ya ya’s and take them to a show in New York! Yeah, we’ll put you on my “ya ya train” to New York and we’ll take in a show. How much fun would that be! Harass the boss for me. I’ve already got six ya ya ’s ready to rock and roll!! hehehehehehe..anyhow, if you didn’t win your tickets, fret not…TOMORROW MORNING BEGINNING AT 6AM, JOHN ROBERTS WILL GIVE AWAY MORE TICKETS TO SUNDAY NIGHT’S SHOWING OF ”ROCK OF AGES!

Lee Gerow of Middletown won his two tickets for knowing “Shawshank Redemption.”  Brainbuster Trivia will once again be sponsored by Carole and Company Fine Estate Jewelry all next week.  You could win a $25 gift certificate for answering-as Bob O puts it-my STUPID question. This morning Janet Hendricks of Port Jervis got my STUPID question. Thanks “O” man, for the kind words.  A Men’s Health survey claims 13% of bosses admit they SLEEP at work. Uh, yeah. For fear of a pink slipping entering my office and finding its way to my desk, i’ll -for once- keep my mouth shut. LOL  Heeey I heard that!

Well I hope we don’t get any of the white stuff. As I’m blogging, they still don’t know what track the storm is taking! It figures. But if you do get hit with it, be safe and have a good weekend! Oh, and one more thing…GO SAINTS! And although I’ll be watching the game for the commercials, I’ll be cheering on the boys and do hope the Saints take it!  I’LL talk to you Sunday morning at 6 if ya dare to join me, however Bob and I will be back together again Monday morning beginning at 6!  Don’t eat too much. And if you do….GOOD FOR YOU! Have a good one!

or something like that. Or good afternoon-whenever it may be that your reading this. Or good evening…that too.  Yeah whatever.  hehehehehe..i’m starting already aren’t I? Anyway, here’s the recap of the morning.

First will let ya know the movie was ” New Moon”-you know, the Twilight Saga! Well, Katie Eaton of Milford knew the clip and won the tickets to Destinta Movie Theaters. Katie is a senior in the Delaware Valley School District-congratulations Class of 2010 graduate! Good for you Katie-and good luck in college attending ESU!  We love our young listeners! xxx00000

Your Brainbuster Trivia question WASN’T stupid this morning. However it did get ya thinking a little bit. It was a little 3rd Grade World Geography that Bob O found extremely difficult. LOLOLOL! Hey, that’s what he gets…picked on cause I DO ALL THE WRITING.  When you answer Rhode Island to this question…SOMEONE NEEDS TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL: What land mass on Earth is known as the “island” continent? It’s Australia! LOLOLOL  …rhode island…LOLOL I’m only kidding he’s not that uh du… not that stup…uh….not that clueless. Yeah that’s it. He knows Rhode Island’s not a continent.  According to him, it’s a country. So see, he’s not stupid. LOLOL I’m playing again. Ya see it’s the only way I get to vent. And you our listener has the honor of listening to my rants and raves. HEHEHEHHE! Sorry folks.  Well, anyway Deb Taylor of Middletown won the $25 gift certificate to Carole and Company Fine Estate Jewlery. Enjoy!!

We were able to get to Morning Movie Madness this morning. Congrats to Julian Price of Newburgh for knowing “Inglorius Basterds,” winning two tickets to Destinta Theaters in New Windsor!

Brainbuster Trivia is sponsored by Carole and Company Fine Estate Jewelery, giving you a $25 gift certificate! Congrats to Kelly Cosgrove of Wallenpaupack, PA. Our question was this: A recent Purina survey found that only a little over half of cat owners do this all of the time. What?  Recycle their cat food cans!  I know,  I know it was a “stupid” question, according to Bob O anyway.  Us dog peeps do it too.  Don’t you?

The Fox Storm Center took up some of the morning but we’ll be back on schedule tomorrow with more of the craziness that we do here in the mornin’. Gott a run…have a good one my friend.

Yup-he did it.  Punk Phil saw his shadow and in groundhog terms that translates to six more weeks of winter!  Eh, what does a rodent know anyway?  Actually, now that we’re thinking about it…they know more than some “weather people” do.  Hey, statistics show the furball’s right 40% of the time and that’s a lot higher than some of our cloud gazers’ predictions! Right? Okay I’ll be nice.  NOT!  Sorry if I’ve offended any meteorologists out there. Or groundhog lovers.  NOT!  Hehehhehehhehehe! I better quit while I’m ahead before I find “Phil’s” head in my bed. Or worse yet, Al Roker’s head. Ew that’s gross.  Bob O stop MAKING me type these bad things.  Onward…

Deborah, (medium and intuitive) from Being Knowing Doing made it in this morning. She spent a couple of hours with us taking all your phone calls!

Contact Deborah at 845-784-5390 or email her deborah@beingknowingdoing.com   *For entertainment purposes only.

Because of Deborah spending some time with us this morning, we didn’t get to Morning Movie Madness. However, we did get to Brainbuster Trivia.    Q:  Farmers often add the petals of which flower to chicken feed in order to give egg yolks a bright yellow color?   MARIGOLDS. Congratulations to Kim Mercilliott of Cuddebackville, NY-winning a $25 gift certificate to Carole and Company Fine Estate Jewelery!  Another one up for grabs tomorrow!

Toyota says it has a FIX for gas pedals and fix-it kits will soon be arriving at a dealership near you! A piece of steel about the size of a postage stamp will fix the gas pedal problem that led to the recall.  Repairs will take about 30 minutes and will start in days. Many dealerships plan to stay open around the clock to make the repairs. If you own a Toyota and want more information on the recall, go to www.toyota.com/recall/

Have a good one! We’ll chat “idol” tomorrow as we’re near Hollywood week!  Enjoy.

 Well today is the first day of February, isn’t it? And tomorrow that rodent crawls out of his little abode to see if he sees his shadow, right?  “Phil” that is.  Well,  I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…even though I don’t believe the whole thingy about the “hog” predicting whether or not there will be six more weeks of winter yaddayaddayadda…I do believe, however, he at least gets it RIGHT! A hell of a lot more than the weather people can!!!   So Phil, listen to Lori G…ya better NOT see your shadow!  Bring on Spring (is that how it goes? who cares…onward ) or i’ll be carrying a brand new groundhog handbag!  That’s right! Hear that PETA! lolololol Okay, okay, okay, you know I wouldn’t do that to the poor little helpless animal.  I’ll make Bob O do it-he eats those things too.

If you missed the  question, shame on you. You should’ve been tuned in at 8:20 for it!

Share that sentiment with us, do ya?  But of course!

After yesterday’s debacle, we finally came to some sense of normalcy this morning. What a crazy day yesterday turned out to be with that “suprise” ice and snow storm.  Some places got about 4-5 inches of snow, but ALL of the roads were icy!! Hope this finds you okay!

Morning Movie Madness won by Wendy McCaw of New Windsor winning two tickets to Destinta Movie Theaters in New Windsor.  The movie was one of my favorite’s “The Proposal.” I highly recommend it! Love Sandra Bullock! And now I have a new favorite actor,  the hotty of hottys -Ryan Reynolds. Where has he been hiding all these years! Whooooa baby! Is it hot in here or just another hotflash?    Someone open a window…please!?
