The Morning Mess
Rick Dees is to radio what Michael Jackson is to Pop Music. Plus, the two entertainers had parallel careers that grew together. Rick Dees hosted the Weekly Top 40 at a time when Michael Jackson dominated the charts. In the eighties Michael Jackson was the 'King of Pop' and Rick Dees was 'The King of Radio.'

We were honored to have Rick call in and share his memories of Michael on the show this morning:

I had the BEST time on Saturday! I was hosting an event at VENUS SWIMWEAR in The St. John's Towne Center. It was incredible! Not only are the girls who work there totally awesome, but the customers are too! It was really just a big mid0afternoon Bikini Party! Somebody even called Security on us! (You know it's a party when the COPS show up! I had my FLIP camera with me so I was able to document the entire day. (And yes, I did get great video of "Hotties" in Bikinis!")

We had so much fun that we are going to do it again later this month! Keep checking back for details.

Reggae and Dance Hall star Sean Paul swung through town for a quick interview on The Big Ape Morning Mess. Before he left we asked him if he wouldn't mind recording some Nursery Rhymes in his own special "Reggae Way!"

We had no idea this is what he would come up with:

I am so glad that I stayed awake long enough to catch this:


Animals are so cool! Especially ones that laugh at my jokes. Every few weeks the folks at Discovery Cove in Orlando swing by the studio with some new friends for us to meet. This week it was a Three-Banded Armadillo, a Kinkachu, and a Laughing Kookaburra! The Kookaburra really LOVED my jokes!

If you missed the interview with Paula Abdul then....well, that means you weren't listening to every minute of the showw. That's okay. I forgive you. Anyhoo, it was a great interview!

Paula dished on the final two contestants as well as her fellow judges (especially Simon.)

Paula confirmed to us that:

  • She doesn't know if she will return next season
  • Simon WILL return next season
  • Kara may not!

Also, she told us about a really wacky thing that happened at dinner with Simon and Kate Hudson. Weird! Have a listen...

CLICK HERE for Willie Waffle's take on Angels & Demons and the other big summer movies opening this weekend! :)

Two of my favorite things in the entire world are my "Flip" video camera and cooking. In this video I bring the two together as I prepare a meatloaf recipe from People magazine from Top Chef's Tom Colicchio.
