Another find Saturday night hanging with Shotgun Tom Kelly at his famous Pool Hall! Guests include: Karen Pearlman, Linda Irwin, Jack Vincent, Todd Williams, Mark Stalnaker and Chris Carmichael, Tony Pepper, Marty Levin, John Polo, and others! A splendid time had by all.

How can you not love Ruth 66 at the DSC heard on Jack FM. Some say Ruthie has lost it for many years — and yes, she has lost weight on a great program. Hear her story of dropping 60-pounds and making a positive change. Best news: her journey isn’t over yet. Very proud of my friend Ruth!

Tommy Sablan of the Jeff and Jer Showgram writes about the car winners who won at KyXy: “Liz and her kids picked up the Mazda 3 from Mazda of Escondido yesterday. She’s the winner of the Kyxy Criminal contest. She found the guy at 11am yesterday on Mission Trails.”

Tommy adds: Monday morning at 7:40 on Jeff and Jer the KYXY DIGITAL MILE OF MEN 2012 kicks off. We’re starting to gather up MEN for women to choose on Valentine’s Day. Starting Monday, we cast the MILE and explain how this all works. It’s a CYBER MILE of MEN for you to choose from. You still have to call in, but this time, you see the men on kyxy.com with their messages to you and bios. It’s going to be fun and we’re working out all the details as we speak.

HUNDREDS of motorcycle riders GATHER TO MAKE A 13-Year-old boy’s dream come true.

San Diego, CA — January 17, 2012 – Southern California motorcycle riders are invited to participate in a ride that will fulfill the wish of a bed-ridden, 13-year-old Carlsbad boy. Josiah’s Dream Ride will take place on Sunday, January 22, 2012 – rain or shine.

At a very young age, Josiah was diagnosed with a debilitating disease which now prohibits him from leaving his bed. Even as a toddler, Josiah loved motorcycles. He received his first Harley-Davidson toy bike when he was three-years old and has been a fan ever since. Josiah loves Beatles music, the television show “Deal or No Deal” and motorcycles…especially Harley-Davidson.

A love of motorcycles is what fueled Josiah’s dream…to see and hear one hundred or more motorcycles ride by his house! 101.5 FM KGB Radio’s Clint August and fellow motorcycle enthusiasts in San Diego, Riverside and Orange County hope to make this dream a reality by inviting all interested riders to join them for Josiah’s Dream Ride.

There are four starting locations for the ride throughout San Diego County: Ronald McDonald House in Kearny Mesa; Sweetwater Harley-Davidson in National City; The Coffee Corner in Santee; and the Econo Lodge in Carlsbad. Riders from all locations will meet at the Econo Lodge parking lot in Carlsbad before beginning the ride to Josiah’s street. The Carlsbad Police Department will be escorting the riders in the final leg of their journey beginning at 10:45 a.m.

In the new world, everyone — radio, Net services, television, streaming, podcasts — is equal.
You hit the Pandora app, or the app that gets you KROQ, or the button that calls up
NPR or Adam Carolla or YouTube or NBC. Your car will do it, your phone will do it,
your TV will do it. Your toaster might do it.

You’re not going to be in the radio business. You’re going to be in the
entertainment business. You already are.
