Everyone around the office has the same problem today----we don't think we can make it til Friday! We're just draggin. Almost....hang in there.
We finally got a winner on the Impossible Question. Sue Murray figured it out. What do 70% of men like to do during the summer? Watch the bug zapper! Sue got it when Neal mentioned that Kool Kone in Wareham used to have one of these. A big one. Sue remembered the bug zapper!
I'll give you a sneak peak at tomorrow's question: Most Americans say this is their biggest regret from high school. We'll take calls at 7:38am.
Our guests today included Scott Illiano. He's a high school baseball coach in New Jersey who has a new book out called "Our Time: A High School Baseball Coach's Journey." Sounds like a good book. I wish he was my kid's coach.
We also had some of the cast from UMass Dartmouth's production of "Noises Off." That's coming up this weekend. Sounds hilarious.
Did you hear the story we had about money? A nickle is now worth a dime. It costs 11.18 cents to make a nickle. Nickles are made out of real nickle and copper and it costs more to make it than it's worth. Jack said he saw a story this past weekend about phasing out coins and paper and going to cards like a debit card. Neal wondered why they have to keep making nickles. Aren't there enough around?
Movie critic Joanna Langfield will be on with us tomorrow, plus, after 7, we have a list of 20 household chores that men do badly. Here we go.......

Happy Hump Day!
Why does a change of plans seem to upset the apple cart so much? I was supposed to leave early today for an x-ray. I had it all planned out with Neal that I would leave at 8:20am, get the x-ray out in Dartmouth and be back in plenty of time. Well at 8:00am my cell phone went off (and I didn’t have it muted! Thank goodness we were in the news.) They had to reschedule, so I had to reschedule and I spent the next hour being completely confused. In my mind the day was going to go one way and now it’s on to plan B. After having kids for 20+ years you’d think I was used to this.
On today’s show:
IS ANN CURRY GETTING FIRED? We had this rumor today. New York magazine says that Matt Lauer doesn't like Ann and doesn't believe she is charismatic. "Lauer's worth only increased when Meredith Vieira left and handed the co-anchor chair to Ann Curry, who in the eyes of many television-news executives has experienced a rocky transition to her new role." I don’t believe that Matt doesn’t like working with her, but I have heard that she has trouble pulling off the fluffy stuff. She is more of a “serious” newsperson.
We were not surprised to see MARTINA NAVRATILOVA eliminated from DWTS. I guess she never looked comfortable. That leaves Donald Driver, Gavin DeGraw, Gladys Knight, Jack Warner, Jaleel White, Katherine Jenkins, Maria Menounos, Melissa Gilbert, Roshon Fegan, Sherri Shepherd, and William Levy. Maria has two broken ribs! I cracked a rib once and that was excruciating I can’t imagine dancing. Aren’t pain killers a wonderful thing?
Did you hear the story we had late in the show???? Female beach volleyball players will have the option of wearing less revealing uniforms at the London Olympics. Say it ain't so! They're going to allow shorts and shirts with sleeves in addition to the bikinis and the body suits. I guess it's for other countries who have different beliefs than the "let-it-all-hang-out" USA.
Today’s Bad Joke Theater….Manny went to the hardware store because he wanted to cut down some trees in his yard. He asked the clerk for a saw that would cut down 6 trees in one afternoon. The clerk told him he had just the thing and brought out the latest chainsaw. The next day Manny went back to the hardware store, threw the chainsaw on the counter and said, “This saw is no good. It took me six hours and I was only able to cut down one tree.” The clerk took the saw, started it up and Manny yelled, “Hey! What’s all that noise?” (RIMSHOT)
Our guests today were from the Fairhaven High School Theater Company. They are presenting Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” Thursday thru Sunday. It sounds like fun. I know quite a few of the kids in the cast. I’ll be there Saturday night.
Still no winner with the Impossible Question. “70% of men like to do this in the summer.” It’s something they might do on the deck, it might be in a tree. We’ll take more calls tomorrow at 7:38am.
Guests tomorrow include the UMass Dartmouth Theater Company at 8:38am. They’re doing “Noises Off.” Coach Scott Illiano will be with us at 8:22am. A story of unlikely heroes who battled injuries, cold tempertures and themselves to win a prestigious baseball tournament. And Joyce Miller will be on at 8:52am from Baker Books.
Who wouldn’t want to be 33 again? A new survey says that is/was the best age. We’ll tell you why.
And did you own a car that you just wish you could have back? Let’s reminisce.
Have a great day! We'll chat again tomorrow at 6. Remember if reception is ever a problem for you, listen to us at wbsm.com. More and more people do.

What happened to spring?
BABY IT WAS COLD THIS MORNING! I walked out into 27 degrees with the wind blowin’ and WHEEEWWWW! That woke me up. I can’t wait for the warm weather to return.
On today’s show:
The Timeline Tuesday game offered these clues:
1. Hank Aaron breaks Babe Ruth’s HR record by hitting #715.
2. Nixon resigns.
3. “Come and Get Your Love” by Redbone one of the biggest songs in the country.
What year was it? Joe from Acushnet called in with the answer…1974. Neal rememberd that song by Redbone and when I asked if that was their only hit, he looked it up and found a song we hadn’t heard in years---“Witch Queen of New Orleans.” It was one of those great records available on KTel Records and Tapes. Remember those?
Some fun surveys today:
The website Tailored.com did a survey of women about the 1st thing that goes through her mind when her man drops to his knee and pops the question to her…here is what they found out:
26% say their first thought was, "Wow, the ring is amazing!"
23% first thought, "I can't wait to tell everyone."
14% thought, "I'm in shock, this was a complete surprise."
13% thought, "It's about damn time he asked."
9% thought, "I wish I was wearing a different outfit or put on makeup."
9% thought, "I wish I'd gotten a manicure, I can't take a photo of the ring with my nails like this."
--And finally, 6% thought, "I don't like the ring."
Ladies, what are you wearing? Clinical psychologist Dr Jennifer Baumgartner claims that your wardrobe decisions tell others about the secret desires that you are trying to hide. Too much cleavage suggests you are power hungry and want control while over-the-top jewelry implies you are insecure and may have financial difficulties. Women who button up their clothes are actually telling their boss that 'femininity means weakness, not power', while high heels can make women appear less intelligent but also inspire confidence by making the wearer as tall as their male colleagues. A young girl choosing a short skirt could be an attention seeker, while an older woman doing the same is having difficulty accepting that she is a grown-up.
A new poll found that two thirds of men rely on their wife or significant other to choose their work clothes for them. Half of those surveyed admitted to also being physically dressed by their partner, such as helping put on their tie. What's more surprising is 30% of men are told what to wear or have clothing purchased for them by their mother. And 17% have their wardrobe dictated by their mother-in-law.
There was no winner today with The IMPOSSIBLE QUESTION: According to a recent survey, 70% of men say this is something that they enjoy doing during the summer. What is it? I did offer a clue. One woman called in and said sitting on the deck. This is something you do while sitting on the deck. We’ll talk calls tomorrow morning at 7:38am.
Also tomorrow we’ll talk to Meghan, Kim, Matt, Dylan and the director and producer of “BEAUTY AND THE BEAST” this weekend at Fairhaven High. That’s after 8 tomorrow.
Now, where did I put my gloves, hat, long undies????

Monday, Monday
Monday, Monday……here we go with another week of the morning show and the morning blog.
We were busy right after the show today as members of the Fairhaven Drama Club came in to talk about their upcoming production of “Beauty and the Beast.” They couldn’t make it in for a live interview because of a scheduling conflict so we taped at 9:15am and we’ll feature that interview for you on Wednesday.
We had fun today asking listeners to find our Secret Service Code Names. Mitt Romney is known as “Javelin,” Rick Santorum is “Petrus,” Barack Obama is “Renegade.”
We asked listeners what our names should be.
For me the nominations were, “Papa Bear,” “Nappy” (since I love to nap), “Internet” (becaue I’m always on it) and “Blackberry.”
Suggestions for Jack included “Flash” and “Hotline.”
The best ones were for Neal. “Mr. Peabody,” “Doggie Bag,” “Putter” and “Gateway.”
It was a big weekend for “The Hunger Games.” Here’s the top 10 list at the movies:
1. The Hunger Games $155 million
2. 21 Jump Street
3. Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax
4. John Carter
5. Act of Valor
6. Project X
7. A Thousand Words
8. October Baby
9. Safe House
10. Journey 2: The Mysterious Island
Dixie Swanson was our guest this morning at 7:50am. She feels strongly that Abraham Lincoln could not get elected today because he’s too ugly! We talked about how the candidates are coached and “packaged” nowadays. Her website is www.dixieswanson.com.
We got a winner on the Impossible Question. “Over 30 million people are involved in this activity.” The answer was “singing in a choir.” We’ll have a new question tomorrow.
Also tomorrow: Rene St. Laurent will join us at 8:25am for Total Body Wellness; we’ll talk to some folks from the Global Learning Charter School, they’re having a Gala this weekend; “Dancing With The Stars” will be back tonight. I heard that Maria Menunos has a cracked rib but is still dancing! And we’ll have the results of a survey, “When a man asks a woman to marry him, what goes through her mind at that EXACT MOMENT?”

Thursday
Whew what a busy day today! I’m just getting to the blog and it’s almost noon.
Once the show ends,it’s time to read and write. I’m really working on two projects at the same time. I gather stories for the Midday News Hour and gather material for tomorrow’s show. That’s mixed in with answering emails and phone calls. Plus----someone brought a Box o’ Joe and Munchkins from Dunkin Donuts so you know I HAD to have some of those!
Today:
• I got in my car this morning and my daughter had adjusted the driver’s seat for her. I could not find the right spot for me. Neal said it happens to him all the time. I had a car once that had a memory. I could set it for me and whenever it was changed, just push a button and it went back. I miss that car!
• We had a recap on “Survivor.” Colton is gone! I don’t watch the show but Neal said he has just been NASTY!
• I liked Billy Joel night last night on “American Idol.” Erika from RI did well. It was funny reading posts from young people who had no idea what those songs were. They don’t know Billy Joel????!!!!!
• Jack won the Civil War trivia question. After the Civil War, this was the last state to rejoin the union. The answer was: Georgia.
• Finally, we got a winner in the Impossible Question. Del called in to say there are 23,000 SPORTING GOODS STORES in America.
• We talked about Tim Tebow joining the NY Jets. That’s going to be wild. Tim Tebow/Rex Ryan/Mark Sanchez. I can’t wait for the season to start.
• We had some great sound bytes from Joe Namath. He says he doesn’t think the Jets know what they’re doing anymore.
Also today we had the 5 Marriage-Saving Tricks You Have to Try
1) Hang out with each other. One of the biggest relationship issues that can lead to divorce is, oddly enough, not spending enough time -- quality time -- together.
2) Confront those pesky skeletons in your closet. So you hate the way he snores. His mother is a wench. So carefully bring them up, don't just sweep them under the rug and pretend they don't exist.
3) Let some things go. Sure, there are things you're not going to be able to resolve. If the issue is older than six months, you're going to have to start letting go.
4) Dance in the kitchen in your socks at least once a week. Even if you don't want to. Even if you don't dance. Even if there's no music. Just dance. Five minutes once a week. Trust me on this one.
5) Keep the spark alive. Doesn't matter how you do it. Just make sure to schedule (if you have to) some time to be with one another and do something that rekindles the spark every single week.
Coming up tomorrow:
• Our movie critic Joanna Langfield will join us at 8:52am. We’ll see what she thinks about “The Hunger Games.”
• It’s National Day of Unplugging. Shut off the phones and unplug the computers to rediscover each other.
• Push Up Bras make women more confident. I think we’ll have to look at that closer (wink, wink)
• And a brand new Impossible Question at 7:38am: Over 30 million people are involved in this activity. What do you think it is.
Talk to you tomorrow!

What a foggy start to the day today! I’ve lived by the water all my life but the past few weeks have been very foggy. I wonder if it has anything to do with the warm weather at this early time of year?????
On today’s show:
•Does your boss have a right to ask for your FaceBook password? We say “NO WAY!” I guess it’s happening. The only time I can see that this would be appropriate would be for a job with National Security or the CIA or something.
• Today’s Game of the Day was about Game Show Hosts. “Who was the host of ‘Win, Lose or Draw?’ Arthur called in with the answer….Bert Convy! That led Neal to look up the list and it brought back a lot of memories. Monty Hall, Wink Martindale, Bill Cullen.
• And from the Department of “NOW I’VE HEARD EVERYTHING!” Did you hear the story we had at 7:55am? I found a blog yesterday that told about parents holding parties…….for their daughter’s first…..period. Mhhh hmmmm. Unbelievable.
Today’s guest was Ron Driscoll from the Boston Globe. He is the co-editor of a book, “FENWAY PARK: A Salute To The Coolest, Cruelest, Longest-running Major League Baseball Stadium in America.” The pictures and the history are fantastic.
Tomorrow:
• The Impossible Question rolls on for a third day. “There are 23,000 of these in the United States. 23,000 what?” The clues we have given you include: This is a busy time of year for them, and, Neal went there the other day but it wasn’t for himself. We’ll take calls at 7:38am.
• It’s International Goof Off Day!
• FIVE MARRIAGE SAVING TIPS YOU HAVE TO TRY!
• HOW TO TELL IF SHE LIKES YOU
• And, details on the MILES FOR SMILES FUNDRAISER.
C U lat-uh!

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!

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!
