monday funday


that title is awful im sorry
So this morning I am more exited than I would be any other Monday morning because I am waking up to once again co-host the Fun morning show! I have been telling people all weekend to listen up on their way to work or school,  I feel like a mini celebrity and I like it. It is surprisingly easy to be conversational on air because the other two hosts, Mellisa and Neil, are wicked friendly. Its not like they are just having me there for sh!ts and giggles, they actually want me to engage and be part of the show. I mean I’m not Howard stern or anything, but I am involved. Speaking of howard stern, he is so very lucky. And not because of his surprisingly good looking wife, or his successful career in radio. No, he is lucky because he gets to swear. Now some people don’t appreciate foul language, and I agree like for in church and around kids, but theres nothing wrong with a few four letter words in conversation. Sentence enhancers, as some people call them, are really good when you just want to get the passion of your point across. Also, they are fun to say and to listen to. I am a huge fan of swearing in casual conversation but apparently that’s not okay for radio. Now I have yet to slip something out, but its hard. For example:  the new droid I got as a replacement for my broken iphone is a piece of shit. It is, its awful and I hate it. But saying its crappy doesn’t pack the same punch if I were to go into radio I would want to swear emphatically at every opportunity.  Well, maybe not that often, but there are times when you can’t really convey all of what you want to because of censorship. I asked the DJs what would happen if they dropped and f bomb on air and basically you would say goodbye to your career at FUN 107. I also wonder what would happen if a caller swore live on the air. “Congradulations you just won yourself a 50$ gift certificate to Sharri’s Berries!” “FUCK YEAH!”………… like we couldn’t do anything about that.  Niel said you learn to censor yourself and its not that hard. He told me that its like being around your grandmother or something, a F bomb just wouldn’t come out.
