Queen of Pop Culture

Hey kids. Welcome to Wednesday. Thanks for reading the blog.

Well, we wrapped up the world series of pop culture today and I LOST! Maria Miller is now our Queen of Pop Culture. She beat me 41-30. Again today I think B's questions were too hard. (that's just my opinion) Did you play along at home? How did you do? We will have to let a listener take on Maria next time. See if she can retain her crown. If you love trivia and want to be a part of it... send me an email. carrie@975klak.com

B is going on vacation tomorrow. So, Scott K will be hosting the show with me. Poor Scott normally works in the afternoon. I hope he can handle waking up at 3:30 to go to work. I better make alot of coffee for him. B is heading back to the east coast to visit his parents which means when he gets back on July 30th we should have plenty to talk about. (Hi, Mr and Mrs B)

On a side note, I am still in training for my first 5K race in Mckinney. It is on Labor Day. I have gone to the gym twice this week and I am heading there again today. Three times in one week is a record for me.

Also, have you seen the Simpson's Video Clip of Homer singing "spider pig?" It is hilarious and I cannot get it out of my head! Google it today. I want you to join in the fun.

Have a great SUNNY day. Scott K and I will be on tomorrow morning 5:30.

WHAT?!

Hey there campers. Today was round 2 of the pop culture challenge for Maria and me.

I really thought I would "rule the school" today with the TV category. But, Johnny B came up with the hardest questions for us and Maria is now leading 28-18. He had an audio clip from THE ROPERS! Where did he find that I want to know. It was only on tv for one season. Do you know what Horshack's dad did for a living on Welcome Back Kotter? Yeah, me neither.

Tomorrow promises to be another crazy day. We wrap up the game with the HODGE PODGE category. These can be about anything that B wants. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

We will also have another Pet of the Week at 7:10. And get a visit from Asst. Fire Chief Frank Roma at 8:10.

OH THE SHAME

Wow. I am so ashamed of my performance today during our Pop Culture Challenge between Maria and myself. The category was MUSIC. I am a DJ! I got tripped up on all questions about songs that came out before 1981. I should have known B would use some 70's stuff.

Maria is ahead 15-9 going into round 2 tomorrow. Tomorrow's category is TV... since I worship TV, I hope to do so much better. I better do some research tonight.

Our first questions will be at 7:20. Please join us.

Cow Appreciation Day

Hey everyone. Happy Cow Appreciation Day. Yep. It is a real holiday. Johnny B and I celebrated by enjoying Chick-Fil-A chicken biscuits this morning! If you go to their restaurant and wear a cow costume you can get a free combo meal. B is pasting black spots onto his shirt right now as I type this.

Did you know that if you want job security forever and ever you should be a Doctor, Teacher or Farmer? DJ was not on that list.

Guess who might be hosting The Price is Right?! Ian Ziering from 90210. He's come a long way from the Peach Pit. Good Luck Steve Sanders.

Y'all have a great weekend and we will see you Monday morning at 5:30.

Chunk it in the Crum Bucket

Hey there. It's Carrie. Happy Hump Day to ya.

Today we talked about the new words that are being added to the Merriam Webster Dictionary. "ginormous" "crunk" "speed dating" I want to add "ridonkulous" and B wants to add "clankus"

We also asked you what words you use that aren't necessarily correct or even real words at all. One of our listeners says "chunk it in the trash" instead of "CHUCK" it. And another one uses the term "crum bucket" instead of a certain dirty word.

I am sure that we did some other stuff between 5:30 and 9:00 this morning, but, I am sleepy and can't remember it all! Have a great day. See ya bright and early tomorrow.

Run Carrie Run

Hello campers. Welcome to Monday.

I start training today for my first 5K race in Texas. I am not a runner at all. I actually hate to run. But, I need to get in shape and doing a race is a good incentive to get into the gym. I will be doing the Labor of Love 5K in Stonebridge Ranch on Labor Day. I have 8 weeks to go from couch potato to athlete. If you want to do the race too send me an email and I will get you the info. I am also trying to talk Johnny B into doing it. (He said something about he'd rather have a root canal than run.) carrie@975klak.com

We gave away our first pair of tickets to The Fray this morning. Since it was Monday, we made it super easy. Which one of these songs is NOT a Fray song?
1. Over my head
2. How to save a life
3. Sugar sugar
If you guessed number 3 you would have won. Keep listening for more tickets.

More fun coming up tomorrow. Have a great day.

Get Lost!

Hello friends. I know the title seems a little mean doesn't it? This morning we celebrated the re-issue of the first season of Lost on DVD. We talked about places you've been lost. B got lost in War, West Virginia. I got lost in a Dillards. (no, not on purpose)

Our friends from the Frisco Thunder stopped by. Tomorrow is Military Night at the Dr. Pepper Stars Center for the big game. Bring your military ID or wear your uniform to get half price tickets. B will be at the game... look for him to catch a ball somewhere in the stands.

I am making my first trip to Oklahoma tomorrow for a live broadcast from US Cellular on Main Street in Durant. Please stop by from 2-4pm and say hello.

Have a great weekend. See you Monday morning.

Stress Relief

Hi Campers. How are ya?! Did you all have a nice Fourth of July? Poor B only had about 3 hours of sleep before our show this morning. I am not sure how he was functioning. Maybe it was all the coffee. I have never seen anyone CHUG a hot drink like that. He was up late hosting the fireworks event in Plano last night.

If you are stressed out we read about a great way to relieve that stress today. A Spanish hotel that was about to be renovated let people grab a hammer and demolish a room! We decided that is the way to do it. Forget Yoga, or meditation. Just SMASH SOMETHING TO PIECES.

Tomorrow is Friday already. We love having a day off in the middle of the week.

See you at 5:30. Carrie

OOH. AHH. OHHHH.

Hello there friends.

Are you ready to celebrate Fourth of July with us? Johnny B. will be your host at the All American Fourth tomorrow night in Plano. He will be at Oak Point Park at 7:30p.m.

The fireworks will start around 9:30. Make sure you listen to 97.5 b/c we will simulcast the music to the fireworks. You can get more details at www.planoparks.org

We will be off on the 4th... I hope you have the day off too. Please be very careful and enjoy the holiday.

Join us again on Thursday morning.

Later. Carrie

GET IN LINE

Hey there and Happy Monday y'all.

First of all, thanks to everyone who came out and rocked with The Orchestra on Saturday night. Our first show of the summer concert series was awesome. The rain stopped long enough for us to enjoy an amazing performance.

This morning we talked about waiting in line for the latest high tech gadget or concert ticket or latest movie. Many people stood in line on Friday to get the new Apple iphone. Johnny actually camped out for Garth Brooks tickets once. I stood in line with friends to see The Phantom Menace on opening day in 1999. These days, if it doesn't involve FREE FOOD, I am not standing around for anything.

We are looking forward to July 4th and our fireworks event in Plano Wednesday night. We will be at Oak Point Park (2801 Spring Creek Pkwy) Hope to see you there.

That's all for now. I need a nap.

Carrie
