Turbulant Tuesday

Seriously, the east coast is having a heat wave and the Blues in Oregon are getting snow! What is up with this weather??

We learned on OPP today that if your boss is discriminating against you based on your gender, you have legal rights. We also learned that if you are not doing the same job as another employee in your company then you might not have an argument. Check with your HR person. The lady who wrote in today's OPP e-mail works for a local plumbing company and the women in her office are treated differently than the men. She has complained to her boss about this and he told her that if she a certain male body part then maybe she would get those perks. One of the 13 Mix 106 listeners called in to say that she needs to go to the Labor Department and they will be able to point her in the right direction.

HIGH GAS PRICES
They just get worse everyday! The lowest Mike and Kate heard of today was the Fred Meyer in Meridian. It's $3.92. With the card its $3.89.
Kate made a rule though. She said it is so depressing to talk about how bad it is each day. Yet, it is their job to provide you with the information you need. So Kate said that after they are done bitching about gas prices, they need to mention one good thing about the Treasure Valley. Today's high note was that no one has to water their lawn with all the rain!

Too Stupid to Live winner for today....Kate McGwire. The damn near impossible question was this... What were camel hair brushes originally made of? The answer: Squirrel hair. Kate said that made no sense because where camels roam freely there are no squirrels. Mike and Tommy couldn't stop laughing at the thought of a free range camel!

FRIDAY!!

Yea!! Happy Days are hear again! The Sun is shining right now and the weekend is soooo close!

$$$$$
What are you spending your stimulus check on? There is a new website devoted to finding out how Americans are spending their stimulus checks.
One 28 year old man from Illinois bought a life sized set of Star Wars Stormtrooper armor.
A 29 year old man from St. Louis blew his entire check on whiskey!!
Check it out for yourself..... www.HOWISPENTMYSTIMULUS.COM

WORST 6th GRADE SURVEY EVER???
A teacher in Jackson Mississippi gave her 6th grade students a survey. Instead of regular questions like who is the class clown, who is most likely to succeed. She asked,
1.Who is most likely to get pregnant before high school graduation?
2. Who is most likely to get AIDS?
3. Who is most likely to do drugs?

The father of the girl who was voted most likely to get pregnant before graduation is calling for the teacher to be fired. Kate brought up a good point. Maybe the teacher is helping out the parents. What is this 12 year old girl doing to get voted most likely to get pregnant? Maybe this a warning sign to the parents and they can help their daughter before it's too late! Maybe the kid who is voted most likely to do drugs is already doing drugs??

WHAT FOOD ARE YOU ADDICTED TO?
One guy in England is addicted to Mars bars. He has eaten nothing by mars bars for 17 years! He says he eats over 4000 a year and 12 a day! WHY??? And how fat is he? Apparently though, Mars bars in England are different from the ones here in the US. One of the 12 Mix 106 listeners called and said that they are must better over there. They taste like heaven she said!

CLAUDE STUART was a great guest this morning! He is performing at the Bulls Head Pub all weekend long. Mike and Kate thinks he looks like beeker from the Muppet's! Who cares what he looks like, he has tons of energy and is hilarious! Get free tickets to the show my sending him a message on myspace........ myspace.com/claudestuart

Windy Wednesday

Hello! Halfway to the weekend! It goes a lot faster if you come to Working Women's Wednesday at the Bulls Head Pub!

Who is the mystery man that sent Kate flowers?Photobucket We all came in this morning to find that someone had sent Kate flowers. She said she met the guy a few weeks ago, they have not gone a date and he sent her flowers. That is all she would reveal. Mike and Tommy are now acting like detectives trying to find out who this mystery man is!

Kate found something on the golf course last night. No it was not her panties. She found her golf swing. After 3 painful lessons for her golf instructor, she finally got it and make contact with the ball! Photobucket

Mike's oldest son graduated from high school last night! Congratulations Jordan! The commencement speaker quoted Larry the Cable Guy instead of someone like Issac Newton he quotes Larry the Cable Guy, Git 'Er Done!

PhotobucketChris Farley joined the show today, he really had nothing better to do. Mike and Kate had him making prank calls to listeners. Our receptionist Sharon will never be the same, but we did find out she watches spanktravision!

Alice the staff psychic will be on the show tomorrow at 8:40. Don't ask about gas prices, we can tell you that, yes, the are going to go up even higher!

See you tonight at the Bulls Head Pub!

Rainy Tuesday

Rain Rain Go Away!

Sex and the City is the top movie in all the land! Someone in the world actually thinks Sarah Jessica Parker looks like a horse and they have created an entire website to it!

What do you think??

A Florida teacher of 36 years said goodbye to her class for the last time with plans of retirement. She colopsed outside the school and died. AWFUL! Can you name all your elementary school teachers? Kate could and so could Tommy. Yet Kate can't remember her first kiss. Sad!

The Scripps National Spelling Bee was last weekend. Congratulations to 13 year old Sameer Mishra!
Photobucket
He is this year's winners of the national spelling bee. Kate noted how she couldn't even spell his name let alone his winning word.....guerdon.
Kate wanted to know "why little Sally with pigtails and bubble gum never wins the spelling bee. It's always some home schooled kid that kicks everyone's butt!" Then Tommy pointed out that Sameer attends a public junior high in Indiana. Woops.

On OPP-It was determined that nothing good every happens after 2AM. Mikea and Kate got an e-mail from a woman whose husband has been staying out until 5AM. She followed him one night and caught him going to breakfast at 3AM with anothe woman. Her husband told her she was making a big deal out of nothing. She thought it was a big deal and wanted to know what the other 12 Mix 106 listeners thought. It was pretty simple...KICK HIM TO THE CURB!

Enjoy the rain! Tomorrow we will have Boise Burn tickets for you :)

MURKY MONDAY

What the heck happened to the weekend? It went by so fast!

WHAT COMES FIRST, THE CHICKEN OR THE EGG?
Mike's oldest son graduates from Meridian Charter School tomorrow. But they threw the graduation party for him this past Saturday. What if he doesn't graduate tomorrow? Then that big, expensive party is for nothing! Mike is crossing his fingers and toes that the kid gets a diploma tomorrow night!

KATE YOU ARE AN IDIOT!
Kate gave her review this morning of the Sex and the City movie that opened on Friday and you would have thought that she personally peed in everyone's Cherrios! She admitted that she was the rare one in all this. She said women were crying and cheering and laughing. She said that the movie didn't fit the TV show. Big was different and it was just too optomistic. And then the hate mail started! Kate explained that was her opinion and that there was nothing wrong with people who liked it, she just didn't. Kate now needs a bodyguard just to leave our building!

MIKE AND KATE'S EVERYDAY HERO
Mike and Kate want to recognize those that help others. Those people who do those little things to help someone out. Change someone's flat tire, help someone with their groceries, cover the difference at the grocery store check stand if someone comes up short. These acts need to be recognized so that we all start treating each other better. Lets be nice to our fellow American. You never know when you may need the help. What goes around comes around. The only rule is that you cannot nominate yourself or someone in your family. Each week Mike and Kate will choose and everyday hero who gets a $75 Applebees gift certificate. Nominate an everyday hero at mikeandkate@mix106radio.com

WIN A TRIP ON THE SALMON
Do you want to go on Mike and Kate's annual white water rafting trip? It's June 27-29 on the Salmon River out of Riggins! Mike and Kate announced this morning that they are giving away a trip for 2 for this amazing trip! Sign up HERE!
