The Jerry Springer Show we attended back in December with KRZ listeners aired yesterday and the cameras loved us! Maybe they could sense the dysfunction OR maybe it was the fifty we slipped one of the camera guys.
The topic: Stripper Sister vs. Pregnant Sister. But it wasn't these two! That's KRZ contest winner Cammi & Lissa.
My Mom would be so proud!
And here's what I was cheering...Stripper Sister flashing Pregnant Sister!
Lissa is ready for her closeup.
KRZ contest winner Billy having a moment with Jerry.
It was THE hot topic on this morning's show: First dates on Valentines Day.
Lissa is going on a date with a guy for the first time next Tuesday. I think she is setting herself up for a miserable night. Valentines Day in general is one of the worst nights of the year to go out. The service stinks. Restaurants are crowded. Save it for the weekend.
Sue thinks the environment isn't good for a first date. And he might possibly be putting a little pressure on Lissa since he waited until Valentines Day to ask her out.
Here's what some of you said via text--
Big mistake... long wait for dinner plus expectation are too high for that day. She'd be better going out the week before or after. Good luck Lissa
I dont think theres nething wrong with going on a 1st date on valintines day.. Its just a senseless holiday the card compines invented to boost card sale
A first date on Valentine is a bad idea. I think it puts too much on it for both parties kinda like it has to work out bc of Valentines day.
Too much pressure for the first date. The wrong kind of pressure
If she wasn't interested she would have said no. So tell her stop complaining.
My husband and I had our first date on Valentine's day 10 years ago! Happily ever after!
The worst thing is that when they go and kiss on Valentines day what if they have onions and she has smelly breath. That would be the worst thing
I think Lissa should definitely go! What's the worst that can happen? Obviously he likes her, he just wants the date to be perfectly romantic, as a 1st date should be right?
There is nothing wrong with the date on Vday. Establish some boundaries and expectations. No flowers, split the bill and downplay the hype and just be honest.
I am also going on a date on v day with a guy i have known for a long time. He and I have never been on a date before and I made it perfectly clear to him that it is a first date and he should treat it as such.
It's just like going out on new years eve. seems like the guy just wants more than a date.
Its a good idea, very good. You never know what hand fate will deal. Hopefully she has fun, it could be a date they will celebrate the rest of their lives!
Awkward. Go out w/ her girlfriends-- My girlfriends & I are having girls night on Valentine's since some of us can't be with our boyfriends & others are single
What difference does it make what day they go. If he likes hr and she likes him then that's the perfect day to go out I say go for it
He will be looking for more than just a dinner date it's valentines day , women might be a little more willing in his mind. And if that's how he is thinking she is better off not going out with him at all!
Good idea, I met my boyfriend of 2 years on Vday but we waited till the next week for our first date to avoid the hype. Good luck Lissa
I think Lissa setting herself for a bad thing
Worst idea ever.
Who has a first date on a TUESDAY? This guy already wants too much!
Doesn't matter, it will work or not its all in compatibility which is there or not any day. Lol just as bad dinner service. As for him picking that day may have been a gesture for them not to be alone on a romantic holiday. Too much thought, just go w it and enjoy!
V day doesnt matter but it is a Tuesday doesn't Lissa get up at like 200a? Wait until Friday.
Good idea. Then they will remember the date of their first date
Yes but it also gives you a lot of time to interact with the person and plus it's an easy way to remember the anniversary!
Too much pressure. The hype makes it almost impossible to make a good impression.
Bad idea. The expectations are too high.
Lot of pressure on both of them for the most romantic day of the year
When my husband and I started to date back in 1989, it was right around valentines day that we decided to go out. I specifically waited until the weekend afterwards. I think there's too much pressure for a first date to be on that day.
Hope you had a great Super Bowl weekend. As you can see in this photo, our dog Frankie the Rat picked New England. I coached him all week, but for some reason he went with the Patriots. Frankie lost and Rocky & Sue Show listener Phil won a $50 Brews Bros gift certificate.
Saturday night's comedy show at the Pocono Brewing Company was a sell out AND a lot of fun. Here we are with headliner the Reverend Bob Levy. Bob told me he plans on bringing some shows to Scranton. Keep listening to KRZ for details.
Legendary WWE wrestler Mick Foley was there. This was our 5th attempt at a photo. For some reason the flash on my phone wasn't working right. Thanks for the patience Mick.
A film crew was at the club doing a documentary on Santa Claus and what they do in the off season. That's why Mick's wearing the Santa hat. Don't worry, I don't get it either.
And we wrapped up the weekend at a friend's Super Bowl party. What an awesome game. And besides M.I.A's attention grabbing middle finger stunt, the halftime show was one of the best ever.
Suggestion for next year: Save a vacation day for Super Bowl Monday like we did. I don't see the day after the big game being made into a national holiday anytime soon.
Most experts think it's a toss up and should be one of the best ever. The rematch…NY vs. Boston (again!)…Brady going for his 4th ring…Eli Manning trying to outdo brother Peyton. Lots of good story lines.
I just hope more people will be talking about the game Monday instead of the commercials.

My prediction: Giants 34 Patriots 30
I asked a few friends on Twitter for their predictions--
@TrishHartman (Trish Hartman/WNEP)
Pats 30-24 (this is actually my fiance's prediction, since I know jack about football.) Another prediction... Pigs in blanket: 20, Trish: 0
@sorrymomanddad (Justin Brown/Weekender)
GIANTS! All the way. There's no such thing as an under dog, just being under estimated!
@MonicaReports (Monica Madeja PA Live/WBRE)
as much as I hate to say this..... Giants
@DaveKuharchik (Dave Kuharchik PA Live/WBRE)
Pats all the way. I hate the Giants!!!
@SharlaMcBride (WNEP Sports)
I'm picking the Giants beat the Patriots, 27-24! Eli Manning gets Super Bowl MVP ï
@brian_coe (WB/Scranton Penguins)
Giants 27 - Pats 18. And I predict no fewer than 15 Peyton manning shots during the broadcast.
@ReporterJim (Jim Murdoch WNEP)
I'm from the jersey shore so giants by 10
@SportsmanDaily (Tom Alexander @ www.sportsmandaily.com)
NY 23 - NE 14
@pinglocal6 (former WNEP Sports anchor David Pingalore)
Pats win 31 21
And a few more picks from KRZ listeners--
Samantha—
The Patriots are going into the game with revenge, The Giants are going in with heart and desire. The Gmen were "counted out" in week 13-14 of the regular season and they fought hard to get each win each week. They have to win, to prove everyone wrong that they aren't just a "lucky" team. The last several weeks The Giants have been playing really good football. Everything seemed to fall into place at the right time; the players got healthy and they have gelled as a cohesive team. Eli and the offense have been consistent with scoring points. Cruz, Manningham, Ballard, all making great plays consistently to move the chains. Defense has been outstanding the last few weeks. Granted the secondary struggles on the long ball, but the line has been strong and has made key stops. Defense needs to bring pressure strong and hard on Brady and make him throw a pass he is not comfortable with. All of that combined with the fact that as a team, they have been disciplined to keep the penalties low, and they have capitalized on turnovers. Their momentum is strong and they are playing extremely well, so all of those factors and the fact that I bleed blue, tell me the Giants are going to come out on top Sunday.
Tom—
The Giants are going to win based on their incredible front four. Between Justin Tuck on one side and Jason Pierre- Paul ok the other side they will apply pressure on Brady which will allow Chris Canty and Rocky Bernard to get either sacks or knock passes down.
I will be attending a party at my house so that way I can get my drink on.
Josh—
The New England Patriots enter the Super Bowl this Sunday as a 3-point favorite, the first time they've been favored by less than 7 points since Week 12.
With such a low spread to cover the Patriots could make a very profitable NFL betting option this Sunday.
Revenge is one of the biggest driving factors in professional sports, and you won't find a much bigger revenge spot than this year's Super Bowl. The Patriots had their perfect season in 2007 spoiled by the Giants in Super Bowl XLII, and with so many key players from that team still leading the Patriots (including Tom Brady, Wes Welker, Logan Mankins, and Vince Wilfork), it is hard to imagine New England isn't champing at the bit for this chance at redemption.
So it's pretty much a lock that you will be among the 100 million worldwide that will be watching the Super Bowl this Sunday. Even if you're not a football fan, you'll probably be at a house party eating or drinking.
Americans will spend more than $1 billion this week on food & drink. That includes 1.25 billion chicken wings, 8 million slices of pizza, 46 million pounds of potato chips & 71 million pounds of quacamole. Yeah, the California Avacado board always throws around that guacamole stat, but I haven't been to a party yet that served up a tub of the green goo.
And how about the betting?
Experts in Vegas say over $90 million in bets will be taken in. And remember, that's only the LEGA bets. If you're at a party, you're betting on anything that moves during the game.
Those are the fun bets. Even if you're not a football fan, you can get in on the action.
These are a few REAL prop bets for Sunday's game--
--What color Gatorade will be dumped on the head of the winning coach? (Orange is the safe bet)
--Will Kelly Clarkson's bare belly be shown when she sings the National Anthem? (I'm thinking not)
--Will Madonna wear a hat at any time during the halftime show? (Bet the mortgage on this one, yes!)
Here's a few more I just came up with while writing this blog--
--Will the guy next to me gag when he gets that first look at Madonna's emaciated arms during the halftime show?
--Will a commercial starring talking monkeys on Jazzies air before the game even starts?
--Will I wake up Monday morning thankful that we finally were smart enough to take the day after the big game off?
I'm very excited about this weekend and here's why. I've been asked to host a comedy show @ the Pocono Brewing Company Saturday night starring wrestler Mick Foley, Reverend Bob Levy, and my new best friend Louis "Twitchels" Centanni.
Mick, Bob & Louis will all be on the radio with us this week.
Bob & Louis…Wednesday @ 8:10
Mick…Friday @ 7:40.
Here's the lowdown on the show and the comics. Hope to see you Saturday night!

I always feel like I'm 9 again when a waitress brings me a drink with a straw in it.
Think about it.You put your lips on the straw and suck.Some of the liquid goes in your mouth, and the rest falls back into your glass.The whole thought of it disturbs me!
And it creeps me out even more if you bring a straw with all the paper torn off except at the very top where my lips go.I'm a grown man.If I DO want to use a straw I think I have the ability to remove its paper.
Talk about distracted driving...here's the video we were just talking about.
Zachary Russell, who was driving his wife Jennifer to the hospital from their home in Waxahachie, Tex., after her contractions started, Jennifer realized about 15 minutes later that the baby was coming early. His next move? He whipped out his cellphone and started shooting video.
"I just kept making sure the frame was good and that I was staying on the road," he said. "I'm surprised I did real well!" Then he uploaded it to YouTube!
Imagine for a minute that it's YOU driving your wife to the hospital. She starts having the baby IN THE CAR. What do YOU do? Grab your camera?
If that was me, my 2 hands would be so tightly gripped on the steering wheel, they would need to be pried off. And video? That would be the last thing I'd think of.
Could YOU do it? Could you REALLY give up Facebook for 24 hours?
Think about it for a second: an entire day without status updates, pokes, posting pics of your cat and harvesting your asparagus crops on Farmville.
We found 3 hardcore, Facebook addicted listeners to take us up on our offer. Anne, Josh & Chrissie will attempt to not log-in for an entire day. 24 hours doesn't sound like a long time, but when you're like Josh and check in from your location every 5 minute, including when you go to bed, it's quite the challenge.
Here's what a few of our FB friends had to say about the challenge--
Michael—"Me not having Facebook is like the world ending to me."
Melanie—"I can do it but it will require some liquor."
Terri—"I tried not to get on the computer already…didn't work. I used my phone."
Lisa—"Hell no!!! I tried but I can't."
Lori—"I did it as an experiment. Lasted 2 weeks. Haven't done it since."
Ashlee—"People seriously can't go that long without Facebook?"
Christa—"I could go 24 hours but that's about it."
Newt—"What is this Bookface you speak of?"
We'll be checking in with our 3 guinea pigs 7:10 Thursday morning.
So pull yourself away from Bingo Blitz for a second and flip on 98.5 KRZ.
