After Friday's conversation that Mark and Anna had about Anna's parents being nosey about her personal life, and Anna not accepting their friend requests on Facebook, it must have stirred up some courage in Tara to call us about her mother for Intervention. Tara called in and said her mother Joan is always in her business and always being so negative and mean to her. Tara says her mom doesn't approve of any guy she brings around and seems to be always putting her down. Tara apparently reached the breaking point because she called in to Mark and Anna and said I've had enough and something needs to be done. Lucky for her we had an Intervention today, and she was perfect for it. Anna totally understood how Tara felt about her mother being in her business all the time, and agrees that mom's and parents like this should really back down. Mark says that Joan isn't doing anything wrong really, and that she's only doing those things because she loves and cares for her daughter. I was really surprised by how many of you called in and said have mom's who are just like Joan. One of you said that sometimes you need a break from your parents, in the same way that you may need to take a break in a relationship with a boyfriend or girlfriend to fix some issues. On the other hand, some of you also said that life is too short to not talk to your mom, or one of your parents, because you never know when they may not be there.

Tomorrow is Tuesday, which means we've gotten through the toughest day of the week! Make sure you listen for your chance to win another backpack full of school supplies, plus Cats & Dogs movie premiere passes and Eat, Pray, Love movie premiere passes! Have a great day, see ya tomorrow!

:)

So we were all talking about Facebook this morning and Anna said that she didn't accept her own mother's friend request on her personal account, but she accepted her on her other Facebook account that she uses for her radio fans, etc. Anna says some things she just wants to keep to herself and that she is old enough where her mother doesn't need to know everything going on! Mark thinks this is extremely rude of Anna for denying her mother on Facebook, and thinks it's weird she doesn't want her to know stuff about her. Anna says one of the main reasons is just because there are certain things she feels like maybe her parents wouldn't agree with some of the things on her page, or what she does with her life. A lot of people say she should just accept her parents on Facebook because she doesn't have much to hide....but others of you say no! Some parents are so intrusive and nosey sometimes we need to set limits! I actually agreed with one of our callers that it all depends on the relationship you have with your parents or family members. I am close enough with my family that I don't feel the need to hide or keep anything from them, because I will most likely tell them what I'm up to anyways. But everyone is different and that's completely fine! That conversation today definitely led Anna to get pretty steamy and worked up....but at least she stands up for what she believes!

YAY, It's Friday! I hope everyone has a fun weekend! We'll see you back here on Monday morning!

:)

We kicked things off this morning with a performance by ME. I'm brushing up my stand-up routine, so check out the podcast and hit me up on my facebook page and let me know what you think. It's something I've been wanting to do for a while and it's time to get it rolling!

Speaking of time passing, Mark has lived in Jacksonville for 3 years now, and he has no friends to show for it. His wife Pam has been trying to arrange Mark on a few "man dates" to break the ice with potential mates. I've given him SEVERAL opportunities to go grab a beer with me but it's always an excuse with him so I gave up. Look, I get that he has a family but so do the majority of my friends, yet they can find time to unwind. "Me time" is great! At least that's what my therapist tells me. And guys, take it from me, be proactive about it. When you get to the point that your woman is telling you that you need to go out with some dudes, that's when you're becoming dependant and clingy on her. What do I know though? Maybe that's why Anna is so happy in her relationship because her man has A TON of "me time" since he lives in Michigan. LOL.

Anna has taken up boxing by the way. Maybe to channel that agression towards her boyfriend. I'll have to ask her. One of my issues with her new-found hobby are her pink boxing gloves. I know pink is cutesy and girls love getting pink anything but...boxing gloves? I mean boxing gloves are supposed to menacing pieces of equipment right? They're used to soften the blow that comes from you fists of fury. I get pink jerseys, mixing bowls, and beach cruisers, but pink boxing gloves I don't get.

Another thing I don't get: not knowing who your elected officials in office are. We played a trivia game with Anna and a woman told us our vice president was Dan Quayle. WTF? Voting should be a privilege like driving. It should NOT be a right. That's a whole different story.

Let's see.. tonight I have a kickball game, then I'm heading to the Metro to host a club night. Then I have no plans for the weekend. One of my friends with a kid has been nagging me to come see her. Maybe I'll do that. Who knows. Please join my facebook page to see what I'm up to all weekend if you really give a crap. Chances are you don't. haha 

If you see me this weekend, don't hesitate to throw up a gang sign or you can just say "hi". See you Monday.

That's right, I am moving but not out of Jacksonville. Actually from the Southside to Ponte Vedra to live with my mom's best friend. She has a condo and a spare bedroom and it makes sense. I'm ready for a change of scenery from my current situation and I had been looking at places on the Southside to live alone but when she told me what she'd be charging me, I thought it was too great an offer to pass up. My mom is still young and so are her friends and we all hang out anyway so it's not like it would be weird. Mark & Anna disagree. They think this woman will be hitting on me since she's a Cougar. Plus, they think it's weird in general. I don't know what their relationship is with their parents but I can go with my mom to Ragtime or the Brix on any given night and enjoy a beer or two. We'll go see the Boogie Freaks or the Little Green Men and it'll be a great time.



In other news, American Idol was on last night. Are any of you watching? I've been too busy with LOST. They're down to the top 16. Is it me or does Ellen prefer the chicks over the dudes? Tonight the men perform. I have a kickball game so I'll have to record it on the DVR.



Here's a question I have for you. Have you ever dated someone who had gotten out of their previous relationship because that person died? It's what happened to Jesse. He's been dating this girl for 4 months and recently, they've been sleeping over at each other's houses. Jesse has been staying over there the past couple of weeks, and he tells us his girl has been wearing a worn-out FSU T-shirt. When he asked her about it this week, she said it was the shirt of an ex-fiance. To add insult to injury, he's dead. Oh and Jesse graduated from UF. Anna thinks it's just a shirt. At work on Monday, she wore a hoodie from an ex. She doesn't seem to see the big deal. Mark & I disagree and think Jesse's girlfriend should move on. We had a lot of people share their opinions about it on the air and online.

While we're talking about twitter and facebook, check out our 95.1 WAPE Facebook page. It's not one of those crappy ones that no one ever updates. At least I've started to update ours. Hopefully I can keep it up for more than a couple of days.

See you tomorrow morning.

I don't know why Mark forgot to mention this on Monday, but apparently, while at the Town Center with his wife shopping on a Saturday night (what a boring night BTW), he noticed a parent who had their kid on a leash! WTF? Apparently, it's all the rage now. I don't have any kids, but seriously, what's next? Kid's choke chain collars to go with the kid's leashes? What happens when you pull on the leash to hard and little Tucker eats asphalt?








Since when did holding your kid's hand become obsolete? It's a child for crying out. Not a pet. if you get the leash, don't forget the squeaky toys, pooper scooper, and Kibble's and Bits. If you're actually in the market for a kid's leash, you can get one from here.






Speaking of leashes, did you see the episode of "How I met Your Mother" where Barney would lure women back to his apartment with a his pet teacup pig? It was his way of scoring the chicks he'd meet at the bars and this got Mark, Anna, and Mikey talking about what their sure-fire ways were to lure people back to their cribs. Mark would use cake and his copy of Hootie and the Blowfish's sophomore disappointment, "Fairweather Johnson," while I used porn and Blackberry Brandy but that's another story for another day.




While all this was going on, I was updating our 95.1 WAPE Facebook Fan Page, I came across this video. It's a video of a listener taping her daughter singing Kesha's "Tick Tock." Problem is, the little girl is 5 YEARS OLD. That's right, a 5-year-old singing about brushing her teeth with a bottle of Jack. It's cute but these are the kind of song requests I get in the morning from kids on the school bus. LOL. Mark & Anna had something to say about this.

 

 


                                    And during Anna's Hollywood Hotsheet, she mentioned Will & Grace star Sean Hayes officially coming out of the closet. Am I next? Well, no but every job I've worked has seemed to question my sexuality. I'm comfortable with my sexuality if anything. I don't know what the big deal is. I think Adam Lambert is an attractive dude. Doesn't mean I'm into dudes. Mark & Anna went on razzing me after I talked about my girlfriend's gay friend who fork-fed me birthday cake at PF Chang's over the weekend. He was a fan of the show, and I wanted to make a good impression on him.

SEACREST OUT. Someone in my fantasy baseball league actually said that to me. Look it up on Urban Dictionary, then make fun of your friends who use it. See you tomorrow!
