6:15 AM: Things you kids may never ever know about; putting a VHS into a VCR to watch or record something, the number of TV channels being a single digit, minidiscs/laser discs/betamax, watching TV when the networks say you should (DVRs rule now), wires, the buzz of the dot matrix printer, joysticks, using a real encyclopedia, using a road atlas, CB radios, payphones, fax machines, vacuum machines with bags in them, and roller skates.
6:30 AM: 4 things you need to know with Sara. Denise Richards was on The View yesterday and they asked her what weird things she found when she moved into Charlie Sheen’s bachelor pad at the beginning of their relationship. She said there was a fire pole, panic room, and a bullet proof door to the bedroom. Around 3:45 pm yesterday at the downtown Starbucks a woman grabbed the tip jar, hit a lady in the face, and stole her wallet. A man stopped her outside and held her down until the police came. By Labor Day, they will change the parking meters downtown and make them so we have to pay to use them until midnight.

We think a cheap version of this will be out by Halloween, and there will probably be a lot of people dressed up as her for Halloween. Yesterday morning at 1 AM a woman in Madison Wisconsin took her dog to the dog park. She let her dog off the leash, and a man appeared and began to attack her. Her dog got aggressive with the guy, and he ran away before he could assault the woman.

7:06 AM: Anyone listening who has been with their partner for a long time but never married them? We ask because Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed have been together 28 years and are just now planning to get married. Yvonne and her man have been together for 17 years, but still live in separate home and have never married. Kim has been with her man for 13 years but they’ve never married because she’s Italian and Catholic and he is Thai and Buddhist. Krystal and her man have 3 kids together but haven’t ever gotten married because it seems like a hassle. Michelle’s parents were together for 25 years before they got married last year.
7:20 AM: Grandma Shook. Sara asked her about drugs because of Amy Winehouse’s recent passing. Sara wanted to know if the drugs of today were around back then. She said that she had never heard of cocaine in her youth, but she did hear of marijuana. She smelled marijuana once when the windows were open and someone across the street was having a party. Grandma said they did smoke cigarettes though, because everyone was doing it. Sara also asked her did people diet growing up. She said everyone was skinny then, and she doesn’t remember anyone ever being on a diet. She said it’s probably because everyone did home cooked meals and fast food didn’t really exist.

The guys don’t because their underwear comes out of a freshly opened plastic bag. For the ladies it’s a little different because their underwear has been touched by a lot of hands by the time they buy it.
