I just wanted to take a second to warn you all of something.  KTLA often asks for feed back via text… And since I often disagree with what they’re saying I will text my thoughts.  Well I was going through my cell phone bill I noticed that I was being charged for some dating website… Now mind you I am a single 40 year old guy, but I have not made the move to dating via Blackberry!  I called my service provider ( T-Mobile) and they quickly removed the service and reversed the charge, the representative also said that he has seen this with many “news” outlets.

I wanted you to be aware for two reasons: One, I only have a single user account, so it is easy to tell when something like this gets slipped in… When you have a family plan with multple lines it’s not always as easy to tell when they slip in an extra $6 here and there.  Two, DON’T TRUST KTLA!  And not just them, many news outlets especially the local ones masquerade advertisements as news.  Many of the “stories” they have covered on local news programs are actually paid guests or products.  In my case it was a product slipped in… But that should not happen from a legitimate news source.

Trust me after years in radio I understand the drive to maximize revenue through non traditional sources (things other than commercials), but we always had to disclose that anything  endorsed was paid for… And we weren’t a news outlet, we were a lifestyle show.

OK, that’s it, just wanted to complain!

But summer is finally here!  And it came just in time for my two weeks with the kids!

We’ve been having a great time, we’ve hung out with Grandma, saw Toy Story 3 at The El Capitan (Which I highly recommend, it runs through August 29th … the fun zone afterward is worth the price of admission alone), did some bike riding and played with toys!  Last night the kids and I got to play with toy cars for a while… Something we all enjoy!

The podcast is on vacation next week… Not to worry, we will return Monday the 30th for our new fall season.

Hey single people… According to CNN, we’re not alone, in fact there is a bunch of us.  But bad news ladies, there are 100 of you for every 88 of us.

It kind of sucks, I could be done for the day at work right now (I’m writing this at &:30am Friday morning), but I’m watching KTLA and the 5 has a bunch of accidents so I’m waiting it out… That’s a negative to Santa Clarita, anything happens on the 5 and you’re trapped here!

never trust anyone nicknamed “Mr. Hugs!”   His Mommy stood in.  Good luck with your new boyfriend. What could there be they haven’t already told?  I think a road trip is in order.   Finally, what strippers think of the mosque!  He needs a wallet!

Have a great weekend!

Rock on, Jack

Kiss was on KTLA today, I’m sorry, I know people love them, but they are huge douche bags…  Just something about old, hairy guys in make-up shamelessly plugging a “best of” tour that was kind of pathetic.  And don’t get me started on Gene, I haven’t like him since we had him in studio and I learned that what I thought was an act is really him.

Went for a walk yesterday, Jen at the CRN wanted a photo of the billboard that’s in my hood… Talk about feeling like a douche bag, stand out on the street and take a photo of a billboard with your picture on it, I felt like Heidi and Spencer trying to draw attention to myself.

The kids come over tonight, which is always great, it’s a school night so we don’t get a lot of quality time… But I get to make Lucy’s lunch and I think that’s fun!  I did a little Halloween decorating, I figured the kids love it and I might as kid 6 weeks of enjoyment out them.  We’d already have pumpkins if the stores had them… Although we don’t carve them until a few days before Halloween, the kids just love to have them around.

I am really pumped to be going to Lobster Fest this weekend,  have been looking forward to this for months, and Lucy and Bing are ready to go… They have been asking about it for weeks.  Stretch and I will be there officially Friday 8-10p and Saturday from 2-4, but you’ll be able to find us wondering around, eating and enjoying the great music all weekend.

Man charged in Le’s death.    We’re going to be setting a record at the Lobster Fest this weekend.  A self hating chicken.   What do you think about this?  Don’t spank my kid!  Turn it down.. or I’ll shoot.  Dirty lovers get robbed.  R.I.P. Henry.  Stretch’s girlfriend was a cutter.  Journey hates the Dodgers!  This is a disturbing new trend... This is the second time this has happened in two days.  R.I.P. Mary.  Save Ferris.  Hey, this was in Jamie’s hometown.  Are you saying O.J. did it?

Rock On, Jack
