I Missed the Death of a Personal Icon

Dave Spencer — Tue, 24 Jul 2012 19:34:08 +0000

You’ve seen those signs, haven’t you? The ones that say, “If you can read this, thank a teacher.” Well, I do. I also thank the late author Donald J. Sobol. He and all of my grade school teachers made quite a team. Donald J. Sobol, who, I’m just learning, died from gastric lymphoma last week [...]

Joan Rivers Hates Everyone . . . Including Country Stars

Chadwick Benefield — Mon, 16 Jul 2012 18:48:37 +0000

Joan Rivers new book, I Hate Everyone . . . Starting with Me, is hilarious. I picked it up because I wanted something fun and light to read while I was lounging by the pool on vacation. And Joan delivered with 242 pages of raucous, laugh-out-loud one-liners. In the book, Joan takes on virtually anything and everything you can think of . . . including country music stars, who get a big shout-out on page 155. Wanna know what Joan says about them?

Who Should Play Christian Grey? [POLL]

Jaclyn Graves — Fri, 25 May 2012 16:47:35 +0000

If you've listened to my show at all this week, you've heard me mention my new obsession 50 Shades Of Grey. It's a three-book series written by EL James. It's taking over the county in the minds of just about every female I know. And, it's for good reason! ;)

With all of the success from the books, a movie is in the works. (I can seriously hardly contain my excitement!) The main male character, Christian Grey is a hot spot to be taken. So, Roxianne and I have been doing some pretty tough research and have found you four options on who should play Mr. Grey.

Take our poll and let us know what you think!

Jac and Dave Book Clubs: 50 Shades of Grey and the Hunger Games

Dave Spencer — Tue, 22 May 2012 21:03:30 +0000

On occasion, Jaclyn and I have discussed the fact that neither of us are heavy readers. In fact, outside of her monthly magazine fixes–Cosmopolitan and Parenting–and her nightly reading of Llama Llama Mad at Mama with her daughter, Carsyn, Jaclyn doesn’t “hit the books” very much, if at all. Same here. I read the analysts [...]

Dave Spencer Tearing Through 'The Hunger Games' Before Seeing Movie

Dave Spencer — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 21:18:37 +0000

I enjoy a good book. But I don't read a lot. Doesn't make sense, does it? Well, I have to clear out my head completely to get into a book. No distractions of any kind. And if the book grabs me immediately, then that problem is taken care of. Great example: Stephen King's "The Stand." It's the best book ever. Good example: Suzanne Collins' "The Hunger Games." I'm halfway through it.
