Back Home to Newsradio

Countless blood and urine tests, a CT Scan, EKG and Echo revealed no major problems.  Since she was feeling better and her blood pressure went down we were sent home last night at 10:00.  Thanks everyone for your support and concern.

On my way to work this morning I realized just how much I didn't miss the newsradio morning hosts for the two days I didn't commute to work.  They are Grant and Amanda and, although I'm sure they are great people and we'd be the bestest of buddies if we met in person, they kinda drive me crazy.  The following are some of the things they do that bug me.

Awkward introduction to the traffic girl every morning. Each morning when they bring in the traffic girl for her first segment they always crack jokes that make me feel as uncomfortable as my dad felt when we were at his house for a bbq, he had spilled something on his shirt and I told him he was lactating.  For example, this morning it was, "And now for our first look at traffic with Rickie...good morning Rickie, How are you?"  "I'm great Grant, on the freeway this morning....."  "Oh Rickie, I'm good too thanks for asking, Bahahahahaha."

Amanda's giggles.  Whenever she tells a feel-good story Amanda talks like she's trying to hold in her giggles while she speaks....drives me absoultely crazy!

Amanda's baby talk.  At least once a day Amanda will tell a story about her children, quoting exacty what they said and how they said it, complete with baby talk.  The only person who can pull off baby talk is Andrew Bernard on The Office.

Grant and Amanda's chemistry.  They are always talking about bringing food for each other or going to lunch together after the show.  I can literally feel the sexual tension flowing through the radio waves when they do this.

Grant, Grant, Grant.  Amanda loves to emphasize the intensity of a story by using Grant's name.  This morning, during an alarming story it was, "Oh Grant."  She also gave a disapproving "Grant!" when he made an inappropriate comment and an overzealous "GRANT!!!"  when the story was shockingly unbelievable.

If you enjoy the trusted newsanchors Grant and Amanda each morning, I hope I haven't ruined your morning experience.
