Sorry I didn’t get to a blog yesterday. I was trying to get through a lot of STUFF after being away a few days.
We had an AMAZING trip to Great lakes, IL for the graduation at Navy Boot Camp. What a long drive though. It was fun but I’m still trying to catch up on sleep. I actually overslept today. It always happens to me. I get up on time the first day (must be the adrenaline or something) but then the second day…zzzzzzz. Snooze alarm central.
Welcome to the first day of spring! One of my colleagues today said it was rather anti-climatic after the winter we’ve had.
We had some fun today with a survey on Lipstick. Of course, I told Neal we would be studying HIS lipstick to see what it reveals about his personality.
WHAT YOUR LIPSTICK COLOR SAYS ABOUT YOU
Classic red: That's a look-at-me color. An I-want-attention kind of color.
Hot pink: It doesn't have the classic romance of a bright red. It's more punk, rock star, adventurous.
Dark Purple/burgundy: This says she's not afraid to take risks. It tells me that she's edgy and could be challenging in a good way.
Neutral: When you wear the lipstick that's the same color as your skin, you look like a corpse, like you've been out in the cold too long. It's disconcerting. Also, neutral lip gloss looks like a glazed donut.
Bright Orange: She's got a spicy personality and is probably a lot of fun. Very confident. Not afraid to try something that's different.
Metallic: It's a teenage thing, so if you're "Sex in the City" age, you can come off a little trashy. Glitter should stay in the strip club.
Then we got talking about whether or not the women here at the radio station wear a lot of lipstick and what color. I reported that I was a "good husband" and never noticed any.
We also had a few laughs over a story out of Miami. The Miami Marlins have a new stadium and there is an aquarium with live fish behind home plate. The team says they have tested it and it will not crack if hit with a ball, but animal activists are worried about the vibrations and noise from thousands of fans. Neal said we just need to get little Bose noise-cancelling headphones for each and every fish.
No winner with the Impossible Question. “There are nearly 23,000 of these in the United States. What are they?” The clue: They get busy this time of year. We’ll take calls tomorrow at 7:38am.
Also tomorrow we will talk to Ron Driscoll at the Boston Globe about the Globe’s AMAZING book that celebrates 100 years of Fenway Park.
Enjoy another beautiful day!

Post-Show Notes for Wednesday, Mar 14, 2012
Neal was off today and that is always strange. You get used to having someone there sharing ideas with you and reacting when you say something. When he takes a week off it usually takes me until Wednesday to get used to it and by the time I adjust….he comes back!
Neal will be here tomorrow but I will be off for two days. My oldest son, Doug, is graduating from Navy Boot Camp and we are making the trek to Great Lakes, IL. A 15 hour drive! “Are we there yet?”
On today’s show we talked about St. Patrick’s Day with author Patrick Taylor. He has a series of books out, the latest being “A Dublin Student Doctor.” He was funny. He reminded me that St. Patrick’s Day is more of a religious holiday in Ireland and more raucous here in America. When I asked him if I should have corned beef and cabbage for dinner he said, “You can, but I wouldn’t want any.” Again it’s an American thing.
The New York Times had a Personality Profile:WHAT YOUR NCAA BRACKET SAYS ABOUT YOU
The Favorites Bracket: You select favorites to win nearly every game.
WHAT IT SAYS ABOUT YOU: You feel that societal order must be preserved at all costs, and that disagreeing with the wisdom of the selection committee is the first step toward anarchy.
The Underdogs Bracket: You love a good upset and see no reason Norfolk State cannot make the Round of 16 this year.
WHAT IT SAYS ABOUT YOU: You truly believe that one person can change the world.
The Out-of-Date Bracket: You overrate teams that were powerhouses about 20 years ago.
WHAT IT SAYS ABOUT YOU: Back in the early 1990s, you were single and had leisure time and disposable income to spare, so you spent winter evenings at the local tavern, hoisting beers and thrilling to games. But now you have a family and a serious career, leaving you with little time for college basketball, but you cannot bring yourself to admit that.
The Nickname Bracket: You pick the team with the coolest nickname to win every game.
WHAT IT SAYS ABOUT YOU: There are two possibilities. The first is that you are female and attractive. The second is that you are an ironic hipster who does not fill out a bracket so much as "fill out a bracket."
We had no winner with the Impossible Question so Neal will try again tomorrow. The question is/was: Though people are cutting back in many ways, close to 45% of people are doing this more. What is it? Call in at 7:38am with your answer.
Tomorrow's special guest is Dr. Gregory Jantz. The topic is What’s Wrong With Your Teenager? He'll be on at 8:22am.
I’ll be back on Monday, take care!

Post-Show Notes For Tuesday, MAR 13
I found a way to pay for my children’s college education. I found a way to pay for my next tankful of gas. I’m going to stock up on Tide and sell it on street corners!
Have you heard this story? I came in this morning to find this headline: TIDE DETERGENT BEING STOLEN ACROSS THE COUNTRY. And I guess no one knows why. The thefts have become so rampant that some cities are even setting up special task forces and retailers are taking targeted precautions. Authorities say that while Tide sells for about $10 to $20 in stores, it can go for half that, $5 to $10 a bottle on the streets. Some thieves even re-sell the stolen Tide to stores. In one case, a thief in West St. Paul, Minnesota, stole $25,000 worth of Tide over 15 months before being caught. I can’t even write stuff this good.
Peyton Manning will definitely retire with a different team. He’ll always be remembered as a Colt, but he’ll be somewhere else when he decides to hang em up. We found a list of other legendary athletes who retired with other teams.
• Johnny Unitas- San Diego Chargers
• Joe Namath- Los Angeles Rams
• Gordie Howe- Hartford Whalers
• Harmon Killebrew-Kansas City Royals
• Franco Harris- Seattle Seahawks
• Bobby Orr- Chicago Blackhawks
We started a new segment that I hope takes off. It would be cool if we could get listeners in all 50 states. We asked anyone listening to us on the internet to email, Facebook or Tweet us to let us know where they are. And if you have friends or relatives in other parts of the country, ask them to listen in some morning then let us know where they are.
Dr. Hana Solomon was our guest at 8:38am. She is the author of a book “Clearing The Air One Nose At A Time.” She also has a product she was selling called “Naso Pure.” You can check it out at www.nasopure.com. It sells for about $20. Her logic is: you wash your hands every day, you brush your teeth, you wash your hair, why wouldn’t you want to wash your nose?
Tomorrow I’m flying solo. Neal is taking the day off. Jack will be with us with the news and Dean will have the weather.
At 7:50am we’ll talk to some folks involved with the Half Marathon this Sunday; at 8:22am we’ll get you psyched for St. Patrick’s Day with Patrick Taylor and some Irish facts and stats and at 8:38am we’ll have the Hot Jobs Report. A list of jobs available right now.
At ease! See you tomorrow!

Post-Show Notes For Monday, Mar 12
Happy Day Light Savings Time! Ugggh! I hate this time of year! I like to see the sun up later and it really doesn’t bother me that it’s dark in the morning because it’ll get better over the next week or so. It’s tough to get up in the morning. It’s Jet- Lag! My alarm went off at 4:20am today and my body felt like it was 3:20am. I could not stop yawning. We also had several accidents this morning and that is not unusual for the Monday after the time change. People are drowsy. Is there still a need for daylight savings time?
If you missed it this morning, I told Neal about my confusion on Sunday. When I went to bed Saturday night, I set the time on my phone ahead one hour. In the morning, my alarm went off and it said “7:30.” That’s the time I set the alarm for. When I looked at the other clock in the room it said “5:30.” Wait a minute. A 2 hour difference? I was lost. I had to ask my wife what time it was and she said “6:30.” I didn’t have to set the Blackberry. So when I changed the clock one hour when I went to bed, it then automatically changed another hour at 2am and I was an hour off. Have I mentioned I hate this time of year????
I have a short week coming up, on the radio at least. Wednesday night my wife and family are leaving to go to Great lakes, IL. My son is graduating from Navy boot camp and he wanted us all to come out. We have six people going so the airfare would kill us. We have rented a mini van and we take off Wednesday night. We got a nice call from a man who has made the trip to see his son graduate and he gave me some tips. I also got some emails after the show telling me to try Gino’s East Side for deep dish pizza and Tom in Dartmouth says I have to try a Vienna Dog. He says nothing comes close. I will try to do that.
Our guest today was Sarah Keller-Likens from the Military Friends Foundation. They help military families in Massachusetts with scholarships, emergency grants and immediate support to families of a fallen hero. You can donate on your state tax form line 32E, go to their website www.militaryfriends.org or call 617-733-7994.
Looking ahead to tomorrow:
There was no winner in the Impossible Question. Over 90% of children eat this but only 10% of adults will…what is it? I did give a clue: It’s not something you can have at all times of the year. We’ll take calls tomorrow at 7:38am.
The makers of chocolate milk are trying to target grownups. They say it’s great to have after a workout.
And the world’s nose expert Dr. Hana Solomon will be with us after 8:30am. Her advice can help keep us healthier.
Enjoy the day! I need a nap.

Post-Show Notes for Friday, Mar 9th
That wind was really something last night wasn’t it? I slept horrible, waking up every few hours because of the noise, then had a late start today waking up at 5:05am instead of 4:30am. But it was still a fun Friday.
We talked about Daylight Savings Time that’s coming up this weekend. Don’t forget to turn your clocks AHEAD one hour when you go to bed Saturday night. We lose an hour of sleep but it will be lighter later next week. Sunshine til at least 7pm. Be careful Monday though. Experts say there is a 17% increase in traffic accidents on the Monday after the time change. It’s also recommended that you change the batteries in your smoke detector on time change weekend.
Our movie critic Joanna Langfield checked in. I thought the premise of Eddie Murphy’s new movie “A Thousand Words” looked good….”Jack is given only a thousand words to say after stretching the truth with a spiritual guru.” Joanna said it doesn’t work. She’s also not impressed with “John Carter” that also opens this weekend. And “Silent House” is your typical horror film. If you’re into that it won’t disappoint.
Today’s trivia question was about “Happy Days.” What was the name of Richie’s girlfriend? I’ll have the answer at the bottom of the page. Neither Neal nor Jack came up with it. Listener Darrin did.
The Impossible Question was: “In a recent survey, most people think that Dad is a better choice than Mom when it comes to this.” I’ll have the answer at the bottom of the page. The first caller, Joe, came up with the answer.
We had some fun with a story out of England that said women will spend the equivalent of 26 years suffering from bad hair. The findings emerged in a poll of 2,000 women and shows most wake up with unruly hair at least three days a week. This means they spend 156 days a year with limp, greasy, uncontrollable or lifeless locks -- a grand total of 9,828 'bad hair days' based on the average woman's lifetime of 63 years. The survey also revealed 12 percent of women have cancelled a date because of their hair, while the same percentage has rearranged an outing with their friends. That got us wondering....if you cancel a date because of a bad hair day, what kind of excuse do you give the guy? I’m sure you don’t tell him you’re having a bad hair day. Is it the ole favorite, “Something suddenly came up?”
I got a great book in the mail today. The Boston Globe has put out a fantastic book about the 100th Anniversary of Fenway Park. We’ll have that on Mar 21. I have to guard the book from the guys. Monday we’ll be talking about the bubble wrap it came in. WHAT’S UP WITH THIS? It’s Bubble Wrap that you can’t pop! They’re taking away all our fun.
That USA TODAY list of the toughest things to do in sports:
• Downhill skiing
• Saving a soccer penalty kick
• Tour de France
• Running a marathon
• Landing a quad in figure skating
• Returning a tennis serve
• Hitting a long golf tee shot
• Pole vaulting
• Race car driving
• Hitting a baseball
Ok, here are your answers:
Richie Cunningham’s girl friend was Lori Beth and people think dad is better than mom at teaching the children how to drive.
Here’s hoping you have a great weekend! Monday we’ll have MOVIE MONDAY at 6:38am. I’ve already edited the movie trailer that I’ll play; if you found a cell phone, what would you do with it. Someone did an experiment leaving 50 cell phones in different places and we’ll tell you what people did at 7:10am. It’s also James Taylor’s birthday so we’ll play some of his hits.

Post-Show Notes for Thursday, March 8th
It’s just about 10:30am and I’m sitting in my office with my ancient laptop trying to find some info for tomorrow’s show. (It's SOOOOO SSSLLLOOOWWWWW.) Our usual routine after the show ends is that Neal goes to his office (much neater and decorated better than mine) and I go to my office. (Easy to find with the Miami Dolphin helmet and Dan Marino Phat Head on the wall.) Neal is our Production Director so he works til 2pm on commercials and “imaging”. Those promos and liners that you hear. He just had Deb Holden from Regal House Furniture in to record a new commercial. I am in my office surfing the web for stories for tomorrow and contest questions. I found some “Happy Days” trivia I may use tomorrow or next week. I’m also writing the Midday News Hour.
Some of the things we covered today:
• KOBY 2012. This is a video that went viral yesterday. KOBY is a Ugandan war lord who kidnaps children and forces them to become soldiers and kill their own parents. This video is being spread through You Tube, Face Book and Twitter and a lot of kids are joining the cause. You may hear more on this from your children.
• While updating “Survivor,” Neal said this guy Colton is a piece of work! I don’t watch the show but I guess this guy is the biggest bigot that’s ever been on the show.
• Did you hear about the lady in Michigan that won $1 MILLION and still gets food assistance??? She is still getting $200 a month in food assistance. She told a local TV station, "I thought they would cut me off, but since they didn't, I thought maybe it was okay because I'm not working."
• Another Powerball winner from Rhode Island! Last night’s winner.
• And Neal endorses the Oreo cookie with birthday cake filling. True! He didn’t think he would but he tried one and said it’s pretty good.
• And we had a guest today who was interesting. Dr. Eric Maisel has a book entitled, “RETHINKING DEPRESSION: How To Shed Mental Health labels and Create Personal Meaning.” I could have spent more time with him, but we are ruled by the clock on the morning show. Rather revolutionary thinking.
Tomorrow we’ll talk with our buddy Joel Gonsalves from the Surrey Shoppe at 7:55am; our movie critic Joanna Langfield at 8:52am ; and I’m working on stories about the Barbie doll's birthday (it’s tomorrow), some Happy Meal toys are collectables (especially if someone is trying to complete a set) and the Toughest Jobs To Do In Sports.
Thanks for checking in with us!
Pete

Post-Show Notes for Wednesday, Mar 7
Today was a day of lists. I had one, Neal had one and when we talked about it on the air a listener called in with a great one.
My list was LIFE'S DISAPPOINTMENTS
No matter how hard you try and avoid it you go through life with some disappointments. Doesn't really matter how young you are…disappointment starts early.
Age 4--Seeing Bambi's mother get killed
Age 6--Getting clothes for Xmas
Age 8--Learning how babies are made and figuring out that your parents must have "done it".
Age 10--Trying cigarettes and discovering that "smooth" and "delicious" are only advertising terms.
Age 12--Finding out looks DO matter.
Age 13--Realizing orthodontists lie when they say, "6 months--max".
Age 14--Discovering you can't make $800,000 in 12 weeks by sending
chain letters.
Age 17--Coming to the conclusion that you will never be a professional baseball player.
Age 18--Finding out that "Let's be friends" means "Get Lost, Loser".
Age 19--Learning that letters in adult magazines are made up and stuff like that never really happens.
Age 22--Trying to get a job with a Liberal Arts degree.
Age 26--Being called "sir" or "madam" by a checkout person.
Age 27--Being pulled over by a cop who's younger than you.
Age 28--Discovering your music is now played only on the "Oldies Station".
Age 30--Hearing that your favorite musician is now a grandfather.
Age 36--Oogling a Playmate born the same year you graduated high school!
Neal's list was "Things not to say to police officers"
1. Sorry, Officer, I didn't realize my radar detector wasn't plugged in.
2. Aren't you the guy from the Village People?
3. Hey, you must've been doin' about 125 mph to keep up with me. Good job!
4. Are You Andy or Barney?
5. I thought you had to be in good physical condition to be a police officer.
6. You're not gonna check the trunk, are you?
7. I pay your salary!
8. Gee, Officer! That's terrific. The last officer only gave me a warning, too!
9. Do you know why you pulled me over? Okay, just so one of us does.
10.When the Officer says "Gee Son....Your eyes look red, have you been drinking?" You probably shouldn't respond with, "Gee Officer your eyes look glazed, have you been eating doughnuts?"
And a listener had a great one he found at a doctor's office. I'm sorry I didn't get his name but I was glad he called in.
"Classic stars are re-releasing and updating their hits."
Herman's Hermits with "Mrs. Brown You've Got a Lovely Walker."
The Bee Gees with "How Can You Mend a Broken Hip."
Temptations with "Papa Has A Kidney Stone."
The Bealtes "With A Little Help From Depends."
Marvin Gaye "I Heard It Thru The Grape Nuts."
Procol Harum "A Whiter Shade of Hair."
Leo Sayer "You Make Me Feel Like Napping."
Paul Simon "50 Ways To Lose Your Liver."
Roberta Flack "The First Time I Forgot Your Face."
The Commodores "Once, Twice, Three Times To The Bathroom."
and the Rolling Stones "You Can't Always Pee When You Want."

My list was LIFE'S DISAPPOINTMENTS
No matter how hard you try and avoid it you go through life with some disappointments. Doesn't really matter how young you are…disappointment starts early.
Age 4--Seeing Bambi's mother get killed
Age 6--Getting clothes for Xmas
Age 8--Learning how babies are made and figuring out that your parents must have "done it".
Age 10--Trying cigarettes and discovering that "smooth" and "delicious" are only advertising terms.
Age 12--Finding out looks DO matter.
Age 13--Realizing orthodontists lie when they say, "6 months--max".
Age 14--Discovering you can't make $800,000 in 12 weeks by sending
chain letters.
Age 17--Coming to the conclusion that you will never be a professional baseball player.
Age 18--Finding out that "Let's be friends" means "Get Lost, Loser".
Age 19--Learning that letters in adult magazines are made up and stuff like that never really happens.
Age 22--Trying to get a job with a Liberal Arts degree.
Age 26--Being called "sir" or "madam" by a checkout person.
Age 27--Being pulled over by a cop who's younger than you.
Age 28--Discovering your music is now played only on the "Oldies Station".
Age 30--Hearing that your favorite musician is now a grandfather.
Age 36--Oogling a Playmate born the same year you graduated high school!
Neal's list was "Things not to say to police officers"
1. Sorry, Officer, I didn't realize my radar detector wasn't plugged in.
2. Aren't you the guy from the Village People?
3. Hey, you must've been doin' about 125 mph to keep up with me. Good job!
4. Are You Andy or Barney?
5. I thought you had to be in good physical condition to be a police officer.
6. You're not gonna check the trunk, are you?
7. I pay your salary!
8. Gee, Officer! That's terrific. The last officer only gave me a warning, too!
9. Do you know why you pulled me over? Okay, just so one of us does.
10.When the Officer says "Gee Son....Your eyes look red, have you been drinking?" You probably shouldn't respond with, "Gee Officer your eyes look glazed, have you been eating doughnuts?"
And a listener had a great one he found at a doctor's office. I'm sorry I didn't get his name but I was glad he called in.
"Classic stars are re-releasing and updating their hits."
Herman's Hermits with "Mrs. Brown You've Got a Lovely Walker."
The Bee Gees with "How Can You Mend a Broken Hip."
Temptations with "Papa Has A Kidney Stone."
The Bealtes "With A Little Help From Depends."
Marvin Gaye "I Heard It Thru The Grape Nuts."
Procol Harum "A Whiter Shade of Hair."
Leo Sayer "You Make Me Feel Like Napping."
Paul Simon "50 Ways To Lose Your Liver."
Roberta Flack "The First Time I Forgot Your Face."
The Commodores "Once, Twice, Three Times To The Bathroom."
and the Rolling Stones "You Can't Always Pee When You Want."
