Just so my position is CLEAR...I really could care less what happens to Britney Spears. You Get What You Get in this life, if you squander it....TOUGH! Don't feel sorry, don't empathize, can't relate, really don't care. It's like she's that little kid who says 'watch me, watch me' then when you watch them, they do NOTHING! You Get What You Get!

Who didn't know Cyril Wecht was a wanker? Before I moved to the 'Burgh you'd see him on the TV talk show curcuit, first thought which came to my mind .....Blowhard Boob, as my friend Kate says 'you traded bodies for lab time'. We've had him on the air once or twice, he never answers a question, promotes his own agenda, and is NOT very interesting. Hey Cyril, grab a seat on the bench with J. Edgar Hoover (perv), Spiro Agnew (clown), Gary Hart (promiscious), and any other ego driven elected official, be gone with you. You embarrass us!

OK, let's end on a better note!
Had Dean Edwards on the air this morning, what a great guy! We have name comics in every week, and it's rare that a person 'GETS' it! Knowledgeable about a litany of issues, can talk about any subject, funny, (hell, he's a comic, but you'd be surprised cause many ain't funny), the kind of person you meet and hit it off out of the box. He's at the Improv this weekend...improv.com to get tix.

Today is OUR Wedding Anniversary

13 years....same person, cool person, great person. Funny how your mind works, it's days like these when I spend a few moments in reflection. Obviously, today I'm thinking about Lerse. It's also easy to take one day out of the year and say nice things about your spouse, have a date night, play a little Yahtzee, and when the sun comes up the next day, you move on to other things. Maybe it's gimmicky, to do or say anything on your anniversary, but, I'm going to do it anyway. Hell if you can't say it on your anniversary, when can you say it. Met her 17 years ago, dated/lived with her for 3 years, and finally she asked me on a Tuesday if I'd like to marry her that Saturday. I had nothing going on but a tee-time (golf term) so I said yes. Off we go on a 2 hour gambling cruise in Jacksonville Florida, exchanging our vows on the bridge with the service conducted by the captain of the ship. Not exactly the most romantic wedding you've ever attended, nor I. That in itself is the point about our marriage, we do what WE want, when WE want, and ONLY do things WE have decided together to do. I could not have found a better friend, cause not a day goes by when I know she's got MY best interests in mind and me hers. My mother said it best a few years ago, when she asked me how I was doing. When I said I was fine, she responded 'JR, you have been fine since the day you met Lisa'. Living, sharing, crying, laughing, all of life's emotions shared with a person who is in lock step with you. Never thought it would happen to a schmo like me.

Thanks Lerse, you couldn't have done it without me ;)

FYI, I'm a dumbass...locked my keys in the car yesterday, errrr, while it was running. Great use of gasoline! So the next time you hear me lowering the boom on some unsuspecting caller, think this......JR is a dumbass too!

Why in the world would they close I-79 near Southpointe for 10 minute increments at 10:30 on a weekday morning. If you were stuck in it, you could rationalize 'road rage'. Hey, here's a tip, there MIGHT be less traffic after midnight. Always a good plan to inconvenience as many people as possible. Oh, workers NEEDED to run wire across the interstate. GOOD PLAN!


Bummed about Sidney Crosby. I'm totally selfish about it too, cause damn, he's cool to watch play.




Enuf of Brit Brit (she's a bigger (and richer) dumbass than all of us)




Heath Ledger, it's like we hardly knew you.




Think Hillary and Bill, errr I mean Billary, have a plan?




Oscars announced yesterday...BEST Picture should go to.....'No Country for Old Men', Coen Bros ROCK!

Ever really SUCK at something?

I have two (2) things I REALLY suck at...the first is pool, you know billiards. Good time with beer, snacks, and well, pool tables, until I grab a cue (is that what it's called?) and all hell breaks loose. I might as well empty my pockets of money, ( of course I have to bet!!!) cause I just ain't good at it. The second is bowling, so what does my wife do? She signs us up in a bowling league. So now, I don't just suck at bowling in silence, I suck in front of a group of friends. To make matters worse, she's MUCH better than me. Kicks my butt every other weekend! BUT, BUT BUT, something magical might have happened.
I have had this bowling ball under my desk for the past 5 years, and I just pulled it out last weekend. It might be the luck of the Star Morning Show bowling ball (notice it actually says 'Star Morning Show' right on the ball) cause I buried my wife. Outscored her in EVERY game. I think I MIGHT have a 'competitive issue', after all it's ONLY one week. But for now I'm sitting here with a pencil getting ready to cross bowling off my suck list!!

What IF Your Dog Could Talk?

Ran accross this the other day and had to post...if you have a dog you'll understand :)


THINGS YOUR DOG MIGHT SAY IF IT COULD SPEAK

--You know, my butt-scooches across the floor just haven't been the same since you replaced the carpet with wood.

--By the way, dude, your Michael Vick jersey? Not cool.

--You just made a throwing motion. And even though nothing came out of your hand, and I have every reason to believe you're just effin' with me, I'm going to sprint for a few hundred yards anyway.

--Stop pressuring me! To be honest, I don't even want to be a world-class Frisbee dog! There, I said it! Are you happy now?

--Hey, pal, the whole "spiked collar" thing? Gayer than a dime store pennywhistle.

--Just to reciprocate, I'm gonna dig through YOUR crap for worms today.

--So you got me to sit. Big deal. I have YOU trained to carry my feces around the neighborhood in a Wal-Mart bag.

--Uh, I don't think you wanna wrestle with me right now . . . my pink thing is out.

--Ha ha! I just licked your face AFTER I licked my butt.

--Dude, you see that poodle? I totally hit that.

--I'm not a violent animal, but if you try to put that sweater on me, I will bite your face off.

--Don't think I haven't noticed that you only walk me when you see that hot chick who loves dogs jogging past the house.

--Why the hell do I keep bringing this ball back if you're just going to throw it away again?

--Ok, two more scoops of food a day, or I let the wife know what you do in front of the computer when she's out.

--Someone should check and see if that Cesar dude from the "Dog Whisperer" has his Green Card.



Have a GREAT Weekend!

Thoughts 1-17-08

Cause my brain works overtime...you get to see how it works...

Ever think it might be better if OJ stayed in jail? At least they can keep a camera on him, in the outside world somebody's gonna get a strange idea for justice...just saying it might happen.

Someone should really arrest Britney Spears parents!!! Nice job guys!!!

What is Pac-Man Jones' fascination with strip clubs? and what kind of name is Pac-Man?

Ryan Seacrest has a better chance of being president than Mike Huckabee? (who by the way, is a squirrel eater, so he MIGHT take West Virginia)
More people watch American Idol, than VOTE!!! Somewhere Ben Franklin is wishing he could get hit by lightening!

Shepard Smith on FOX News is cool! Kinda makes up the news as he goes, but he does it in a cool way! Long live 'Studio B'

Guy's, did you hear Charleze Theron is coming to shoot a movie in our town....GRRRRRRRR....deep inside I think I'm gripping!!!

I need to go out and buy a GIANT Foam Rubber Finger

We're #1!!!! Rarely will you hear me pop off about the ratings, cause, basically I hate the hi's and lows. Having said that, we got our Fall '07 ratings back and the Star Morning Show is the number one rated morning show in Pittsburgh amoung women between the ages of 25 and 54. (insert your thunderous applause here) I'm so sore patting myself on the back!!! Seriously, I bring it up ONLY to say 'thanks' for your support thoughout the year. ( I also would like to thank Hanna Montana, Christmas music, Kate, Bubba and everyone else I have probably forgotten throughout the year).

Watched SOME of the Congressional hearings on Performance Enhancing Drugs in Baseball yesterday. I must say if I was an owner of a major league baseball team, I would find a better representative than Bud Selig.
The man, in short, is an absolute boob. Aside from looking like he just rolled out of bed (every day), he failed to answer any one question with a definitive answer. The only saving grace I see in the man as commisioner, is he's a scapegoat for everything wrong in the sport. I'm not sure you could find another person on this planet THAT dumb.

Thoughts 1-15-08

Most of the time I feel like rambling, just throwing out my thoughts on various subjects. So here we go!

Don't know if I brought it up before, but Lisa (my wife, pictured with some Steeler) recently adopted a new dog from the Western Pa. Humane Society. Gretchen, from the shelter comes in every Wednesday to do a feature on the Star Morning Show and she and I have been talking about a pet for some time.
Well, to make a long story short, THIS guy came up for adoption
His name is Cory, he's a seven month old Cairn Terrier, and totally cool!!!! For the record, Lisa (I call her Lerse, so you better get used to that name) have never adopted an animal from a shelter. All I can say is the experience was wonderful, streamlined, courteous, and without incident. You can information about adopting a pet on this website (click adopt a pet for info)

Other thoughts rolling around;

Don't look now but our Pittsburgh Penguins are tied for FIRST place!!!!

I am pulling for the Patriots to go undefeated (hey I grew up in Boston).

Burghers know nothing about winter, I've been here for 10 years, we don't get winter weather in Western Pa. Go north 100 miles and say 'Hi' to real winter.

I am NOT really an American Idol fan, I just sound like one on the radio ;)

Oh and why haven't I heard from you? Click comment and let me read your thoughts!

What's Up for the New Year

The Star Morning Show is in the process of bringing some new and fun things to the Star Website, look for better graphics, and content coming soon. It's been a while since I've been on this blog so let me bring you up to speed in my world.


Yes Bubba has left the show, he's on the NEW (Old)B-94. I wish him the best of luck in the future. Many of you confused our radio act with reality, in thinking that Bubba and I didn't get along. Nothing could have been further from the truth. Not only are we friends but he and I genuinely enjoy each others company (easy comrade). I will admit it was fun having a good argument with him


Got to go to 'opening night' of the Lion King, it plays in town for the next 5 weeks. Great time. Here's a group of us dining at the Grille on Seventh.

and this would be one of the final things we put in our pie holes..

Yes, that's Simba!!!!!!



This is NOT a photo of myself!!!

Though it does look alot like me, it's actually Comedian Jo Koy as he was in studio Friday. If you heard him on air he complained the studio was a bit frosty.


Last but NOT least, I love fuel perks. Here's how much it cost me to fill up on Friday. (I was below empty)

NEW Blogs Coming Next week...
