Today's show was simply Boob-tastic! We read an email we received from a Mom having a dispute with her husband. She wants to give her 18 yr old daughter a boob job as a graduation gift. He is totally against the idea.
I agree with the Dad. First off, 18 is WAY TOO YOUNG to be making such a big decision. Most of us don't have things figured out til we're in our mid to late 20's. And why would you give your daughter a medical procedure as a gift and risk complications when she doesn't really need it? Is getting teased in High School about your small chest really reason enough to go under the knife? I don't think so.
I was surprised how many comments we got siding with the Mom and the daughter.

Here's a few of the texts--
--I work with kids everyday with low self esteem. There is always going to be someone to make fun of her. She is too young. She needs to rise above it and not let others dictate who she is. She needs to find a way to love herself.
--I think the mom should not buy breast implants for her daughter. Everyone is made differently. Embrace being flat chested, enjoy wearing plunging necklines, they'll look classy. A big busted woman would just make it look trashy.
--I think she should pay and work for it herself to determined if she really wants it
Omg! She is way too young. I didn't get my figure until I was about 22!! She's not done developing!
--I'm for it. She has been picked on in high school, she's going away to college for a fresh start and if they are moderate size to look natural, I think it's ok. I would do it for my daughters however with how busty I am I don't think they'll have that problem
--My natural boob job--Child birth
--I wasn't big breasted and dont regret it. They are too young to know reality. This does not need to be.done to a kid. I ended up with breast cancer and it probably wouldn't have been found if I had implants.
--She’s not finished growing. My daughter went to a plastic surgeon for a reduction consult & he recommended waiting bc she might have to have surgery again in her twenties.
--As a father of a young daughter she will be 3 next week, I can't say that I understand completely how the dad feels, but as a father I want both of my kids to be as happy as they can be. I know self-image is a huge part of that, especially for girls. I would let my daughter do it, and I think the mother is being amazingly mature and open to the idea.
--I think its fine as long as she is flat & not too big. I can understand her being teased. I would have her research it fully too. My hubby is ok with it.
--At 18 you are legally an adult. If she wants to get her boobs done she will find a way to get them done. At least this way the parents are a part of the whole thing.
--The daughter should consider trying temporary solutions. A bigger chest is more to deal with...especially when you haven't always had it. I can't tell you how many people I know that got implants and have reversed it because of the added weight.
--I'm not a parent....but aren't parents supposed to teach/encourage their children to be proud of who they are? Everyone is teased in high school!
--I was flat when I was young and very tall and very thin . I always said I wanted a boob job . I was a late bloomer and didn't develop until my late twenty's and I'm so glad I never got a boob job . because I was a small be in high school and I'm now a natural d and have been since my late twenty's . now that I have them I miss that small b, clothes fit much better on a b.
--I know if my 23 year old asked me i would have told her to wait until after college when she has matured more and c if she still feels the same about it
--Hell NO!! I'm 26yrs old and just went up to a cup size D...when I graduated I was 18 and was only in a Bcup...your body is still not done growing! Stupid mother trying to be a friend not a parent!
--I had no chest all thru college, hated it, then at 25 I all of a sudden developed and I'm 31 and a 36c and I wish they would go away!! I hate boobs!!
--I think 18 is a little young. I would think about getting a gift certificate to Victoria 's Secret or Fredericks of Hollywood and in the meantime do some shopping for plastic surgeons and give the boob job as a college graduation gift.
A former KRZ DJ, Bob Loftus, sent us a box of memories this week. Wow! This guy is more of a pack rat then Sue and I combined!!!
We opened the box live on the air this morning, and were blown away by what we found inside: vintage photos with hairstyles & eyewear we'd soon wish to forget, station playlists, memos from our GM and old concert tickets. Bob saved EVERYTHING!
Funny, this playlist from '93 reads like Lissa's Ipod! Check out the artists: Bad Company, The Outfield, Journey, Heart & Def Leppard.
Bob even saved the memo announcing our arrival from March of 1989.
Remember the Bud Light Amphitheatre at Harvey's Lake? Here's a ticket from a Little Feat/The Band concert from '93. And how about that price?
Thanks Bob. You're one of a kind. And if this is any indication of what you've saved over the years, you might want to give the guys from American Pickers a call.
If you’ve been on any of the Social Networks this week, you’ve seen the hash tag #KeepFightingGary.
Gary is GARY LUKASIEWICZ, a High School Senior and Class President at Riverside High School. He has a rare form of Cancer. His classmates have joined together to create the #KeepFightingGary campaign and get worldwide support for their friend.
These cool kids from Riverside High School joined us in studio today to talk about their friend. What an inspiring bunch!!!
Our prayers and thoughts are with Gary and his family.

It's a MOTHER OF A WEEK on the Rocky & Sue Show. Every day we'll be asking you to reveal something about YOUR Mom.
This morning we asked: What do you know about your Mom that you wish you didn't?
You guys didn't disappoint!!!
I wish I didn't know that every time she has sex she calls it "doing her taxes" yuck!
At 1 point, my mother told me about her 1 night stands. Definitely something I wish I didn't know!
Wish I didn't know my mom had a secret compartment behind her top dresser drawer (if u took top off) that stored her crotch-less lingerie.
â
I wish I didn't know my mom has a name for her private area.
Love my mother to death. But I found out that when I was two she left me and my father for another guy for a year but she did come back to us. I'm 37 and I just found this out two years ago. Its hard not to think about it now. But I get by because I know she love me.
I wish I didn't know that my mom has a belly button ring because my dad thought it was hot.
I wish i didn’t know my mom is obsessed with the book 50 Shades of Grey!
I wish I didn't know my mom slept with no underwear on.
When I was about 3 or 4 I went downstairs & my mom was doing santa... My dad was dressed as Santa... Omg
I wish I didn’t know about every detail of my mother’s terrible bowl issues.
I wish I didn't know my mom has a "goodie drawer".
I wish I didn’t know my mom kept dirty magazines under her mattress!
I wish I didn’t know the color of my Mom’s lingerie.
I wish I didn’t know that my Mom kept an old issue of Playgirl with Sly Stallone in it.
I wish I didn’t know that my Mom used to hunt squirrels and eat their brains.
What I wish I didn't know about my mom is that she is 51 and goes out and parties and has parties that are crazier than any person young or old that I have ever met.
I wish I didn’t know that I was conceived (accidentally) on the pool table in my grandparents basement.
One thing I wish I didn't know about my mom is she's doesn't shave anything or anywhere.
I wish I didn't know her favorite song was “Poor Some Sugar On Me”.
Saturday was another day out where I got to act like a kid. My new Little Brother Josh and I started our adventure at Pike's Creek Raceway Park on Rt 118 in Hunlock Creek. What a great place for any kid, big OR small.
It was Josh's first time hitting the oval on a go cart and he had a blast.
We made a new friend on the Mini-Golf course.
There's no better way to wrap up a day at Pike's Creek then with a famous Ranch Wagon footlong.
Call 477.3188 to book your kid's next party at Pike's Creek.
Our next stop, Back Mountain Creamery on Carverton Rd, Shavertown.
Thanks to BMC owner Carl, Josh dished out the samples of homemade ice cream.
Like a kid in a candy, er, ice cream store.
And Josh was a pro behind the counter.
The happiest kid in NEPA!
Josh is one of many cool kids in NEPA waiting on a match in the Big Brother/Big Sister program. Why not give up a few short hours every month a make a difference in someone's life? You won't regret it.

This morning we said good bye to our latest intern Wonder Bread. Our friend Kathy from Truly Scrumptious in Kingston created a work of art as a send off...a Wonder Bread cake! You definately need to look her up if ever you need a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. (www.eatcakefirst.com)
And Wonder Bread was truly surprised by his pastry-riffic namesake.
GREAT job Wonder Bread. We can't wait to have you back on the radio this Fall for Intern Revenge. You took a lot of punishment, and soon you'll be able to dish it out.
Look who waddled up to our front door this morning. That's Calder the Penguin, the unofficial mascot of the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.
