If you listen to my show, follow me on twitter, or eavesdrop on my phone conversations then you know my new favorite reality show is ABC’s Shark Tank. It’s killer! So, when ABC asked me to interview one of The Sharpest Sharks in the tank, I jumped at the chance.
Daymond John, for those of you who haven’t yet caught on to the Shark Tank phenomenon, is the mastermind behind FUBU. He built his fortune by dressing hip hop stars like LL Cool J, Puff Daddy, Jay Z, and, well, pretty much everyone else.
Today, Daymond uses his multi-million dollar fortune to build even more wealth by investing in companies, ideas, and individuals. He’s funny, he’s quick, and he knows what he’s talking about. Just listen to this:

Genos Steaks Guy Says NO Michael Vick For Philadelphia Eagles

The news that Michael Vick was signed to the Philadelphia Eagles was really astonishing. Our listeners lit up the phones with their passionate opinions. We found folks on both sides of the tenuous issue: “Ban him for life!” “The Eagles are despicable!” “Let him play!” “Everyone deserves a second chance.”
Well, we decided to call up to Philly to find out what the local sentiment was regarding Michael Vick donning an Eagles jersey. Since it was 7:00 in the morning, we called a place that we KNEW was open 24/7. The World Famous “Geno’s Steaks.”
What do you think? Have the Eagles made a disgraceful decision? Or is Michael Vick an okay pick? Comment below.

I love Kim Kardashian. I think she is very beautiful and, despite her past indiscretions a very cool person. I’m also a fan of Reggie Bush who I think makes a much better choice than Ray J.
This morning Kim called in to pump her new shoe line at ShoeDazzle.com and talk about the new season of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians.” We also got the latest on her deep desire to wed a certain “New Orleans Saint.”
Do you think Kim and Reggie would make a GREAT couple? Leave your comment below.

Radio Station WAPE-FM Pulls All Chris Brown Songs
February 12, 2009 by Mark Kaye
Filed under Hot Headlines
Top-rated Jacksonville radio station WAPE 95.1 FM announced Thursday morning that it was removing all songs by Jive recording artist Chris Brown from its airwaves due to an overwhelming negative reaction from station listeners. Recent allegations charge that Brown attacked his longtime girlfriend Rihanna, who is also a popular WAPE artist.
The decision to suspend the songs was made after listeners voiced their opinions on WAPE Wednesday morning. Mark Kaye, host of WAPE’s “Big Ape Morning Mess” explains:
“Wednesday morning we played a Chris Brown song and immediately received complaints from listeners who were ’surprised’ and actually ‘offended’ that we would continue to play his music after the recent allegations. They were calling to ask us to NOT support Chris Brown. Other calls followed that supported Brown and soon all of our phones were ringing off the hook. We spent the entire morning debating this issue.”
After the morning broadcast a poll was posted on the WAPE.com website asking listeners if Chris Brown’s music should be removed from WAPE. The final tally was in favor of a Chris Brown boycott.
“The issue is especially significant to Jacksonville area women who are survivors of domestic violence,” states Kaye. “Many women who called us said Chris Brown’s music now makes them uncomfortable. Out of respect for local victims and because we have a responsibility to our listeners and the city of Jacksonville WAPE decided to remove Chris Brown from the airwaves until more questions can be answered.”
To further the message, WAPE has partnered with Hubbard House, a local Jacksonville area charity that provides shelter and outreach services to domestic violence victims and their families. WAPE will host a Hubbard House Charity Drive to collect clothing, toiletries, and cash donations. The event will take place next Tuesday, February 17th from 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM at a location to be determined.

…pronounce her name properly.
It’s Rih-ANNA. Rhymes with “Santana” and “banana.”
Don’t believe me? Maybe you will believe her:
The poor girl has been through enough. When reporting the story on television, or on the radio, or just talking with your friends and co-workers, please have enough respect to call her by the proper name. I’m sure she would appreciate it.
Thanks.
