podcast: setting people up for valentine's day

For Valentine's Day, I wanted to do something special for my show in DC. I decided playing the role of matchmaker would be neat.

I picked four people to come into the show, take calls, pick one winner, and then gave them a gift card for dinner on Valentine's Day. Because I'm always the realest with you, Internet... I was hella scared. What if no one called? What if we didn't find anyone good? What if someone got stood up? WHAT IF SOMEONE GOT KIDNAPPED AND KILLED AND OMG IT'S ALL THAT GIRL ON THE RADIO'S FAULT?!?!

Luckily, I had nothing to worry about. The studios may have crashed mid-show, I may have set up people with eight years age difference, and there may not have been ANY hanky panky that night, but I think [/I'm hoping] it was at least good radio and a good time for them as well.

Hear all their individual quests, then the results, and feel free to tell me if you think we picked the wrong person for someone.


My job is fun.

podcast: i hooked a listener up on an awkward blind date...

I have dedicated my Friday shows to being completely ADD. I don't prep for it, I just go with the flow and hope something great comes from it. Last week, something great did.

Some guy named Rob called in after his friends stood him up and I joked that I would set him up on a blind date. Next thing I know, I have three random bachelorettes on the phone ready to go out with him. [These are the pictures that #1, 2, and 3 sent to him after they begun texting. You'll hear from them in the podcast.]

He picked one of them, picked her up, and because of some ..technical difficulties.. ended up meeting us out at a bar after my show was over.

I made him call me after every step of the way, and even tell me what exactly went down and why it didn't work out. [Besides the fact that she wasn't the biggest ball of fun in the world...]

Check out ALL of it, including some things that were too hurtful/wrong to air, in the podcast below!



Here are some pictures from the night:

FINALLY, I'm doing GOOD for relationships! No more breaking up engagements or making people hate each other! That was fun.
