Goodbye For Now

2008-04-22T08:16:00.000-07:00

OK, after 212 blog posts and a daily average of 10 viewers, it's time to move on to a different form of blogging. While I greatly appreciate the few of you that visit daily, spending over an hour on this daily is really limiting my time at the station. However, with that said, my blog will now continue at http://www.mix1051.com/ and type in keyword morning. There I will be posting daily topics or info on guests that are featured on the Scott and Erica Show. Thanks for the 212 days of reading my posts and see you at mix1051.com

My wife is one of a very small group that was born and raised in Orlando. I moved here when I was 2 with my family from Baltimore because of my dad's job change. It's interesting to head why people decided to move here. We got calls from chasing that guy or girl here for marriage, to Froggy that came to Disney and decided to stay. How did you end up here?

Last night was Mariah Carey night and I though everyone did ok. My favorite was David Cook and Jason Castro. I though Syesha did very well too. David Archuleta was good, but safe.

Ticked Off-

What do you think about the kids on a leash? Every now and then you'll see one at the mall with mom and dad following closely behind. I totally get that you're trying to keep your child safe and you're doing it for good and not for bad. But I just can't get behind it 100%. Is it better than losing your child or having them run off and you have to chase them in a crowded store, sure. But a caller this morning said kids don't want to hold your hand and they don't want to ride in strollers. My feeling is I'm the parent and if I say to hold my hand for safety reasons, then no questions asked, hold my hand. If I need to put you in a stroller because it will be very crowded and not safe for my kids, then get in the stroller. And I know that kids wander and get excited and want to run off. But it's my job as a parent to watch them closely and if I feel like I might be distracted, then put them in the stroller, carry them, or hold their hand. It just seems a little strange putting your child on a leash. Again, not trying to offend anyone that does it, just my opinion.

$25 Pyramid- Scott played today and they got 4 out of 5. The jackpot goes to $30 for tomorrow's game.

Orlando Magic-

$25 Pyramid- I played again today and we got 3 out of 5. $10 rolls over to tomorrow's game, making the jackpot $35.

American Idol- My opinion of last nights Idol, the worst episode ever. I get the whole "feel-good" and "family-friendly" approach, but the whole inspirational theme was a little boring. With the millions of mega hits out there for these kids to sing, they have them go down that road. Just let them pick whatever they want or at least make the songs more recognizable to the viewers.

My favorites from last night were Syesha, Michael, and Jason. The guy I want to win, David Cook, was horrible last night. Tonight is a 2 1/2 hour "Idol Gives Back" special and tomorrow night we'll see who gets voted off the show.

WHAT AN IDIOT!

Every one of us has made up some ridiculous excuse to get out of work. But 21-year-old Daniel Kuch of Pasco, Washington took it to another level last Thursday and wound up in the hospital with a gunshot wound. Daniel went to the hospital with a bullet in his arm, and told the cops there that he'd been shot in a drive-by while he was out jogging. But as the detectives kept asking him questions,Daniel eventually gave in and told them what really happened. Turns out Daniel actually asked one of his buddies, a guy named Kurtis Johnson, to shoot him in the arm so he wouldn't have to go to work. He told the cops he was trying to avoid a drug test at work and he figured that a bullet wound would keep him away from the job long enough for his body to flush the drugs out of his system. MORON!

Battle of the Sexes- It went down to the tiebreaker this morning and the men won. The women lead 5-2.

Roundabouts-

I don't get the whole concept of the roundabout. Is it just me or does it just seem like a glorified 4-way stop. Why not just put up a stop sign? And if you're trying to slow down traffic, put up a few speed humps. Sure people hate those too, but a lot of people will take another route to avoid them. Thus, cutting down on traffic and speeders. We have one right by the radio station and it makes no sense to me.

Dr. Drew Pinsky-

The famous relationship expert joined Scott and Erica this morning, what a nice guy! He has a new show premiering tonight on VH-1 called "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew" at 10pm.
