The first story below is a no-brainer for almost all demos -- "Rude behaviors we continually encounter." Of course, #1 on the list is people that let their kids run wild.
It got me to thinking what we might consider rude RADIO behavior in 2012. The standard for rude has changed so much since I got into radio in 1989. Here's how:
Rude in 1989: Not pulling at least an hour worth of commercial carts for the next jock during a shift change
Rude in 2012: Not having the commercial log loaded at 10am on Friday for weekend voice-tracking.
Rude in 1989: Discovering the studio is a complete mess with show prep scattered all over the board.
Rude in 2012: Discovering the last live jock on the air (12 hours ago) didn't log off the computer.
Rude in 1989: Leaving the next jock an empty reel of tape for recording phone calls
Rude in 2012: Leaving the next jock with a full hard drive
Rude in 1989: The overnight jock not making a full, fresh pot of coffee before leaving
Rude in 2012: The one overnight person in the cluster tracked out, ran to Starbucks, and brought you back nothing
Rude in 1989: Not having enough T-shirts in all sizes for your listeners at a station appearance
Rude in 2012: People that ask for a T-shirt when they know all they're getting is a sticker.
Wow, that was fun! I could go on, but I need my beauty sleep. Have a great show, and as always, please click G+, Facebook, Twitter or email at the bottom of this blog to spread the word! Enjoy the Show Starters...

Rude!
What are the rudest behaviors EVER? A Yahoo! survey discovered the rudest behavior we continually encounter are parents that have no control over their kids in public. Of course, as a parent, I have empathy for a mom trying to grocery shop with four kids. We shouldn't pretend to know her circumstances, but some of us feel "so bothered" by laughing children.Here's how the survey breaks down:
- Parents who don't supervise their children 56%
- Talking loudly on their cell phone 19%
- Rude waiters 8%
- Pet owners that don't clean up their dog's poop 7%
- Being late 7%
What? Spitting isn't on this list? Are you kidding me? Have you ever walked right behind someone who clears the deep bowls of his throat and then unloads it right in front of you? Kind of like what this lady did in front of a TV reporter the other day? At least she said "sorry I have a bad cold". Glorious.
Where do we encounter the rudest behavior?
- Retail stores
- Grocery stores
- Airports/airplanes
- Restaurants/coffee shops
- Gym
Best rule to remember if you encounter a rude waiter: "Never mess with a water until you've gotten your food."

Wild Dream Facts
You may be asleep, but your brain is very much awake, and here are a few things you need to know about your dreams:1. Violent dreams can be a warning sign (...of Parkinson's disease and dementia)
2. Night owls have more nightmares (the reason is unknown, but one theory says cortisol, which peaks in the morning right before we wake up, triggers vivid dreams if we're still sleeping)
3. Men dream about sex (...and to balance it out, women are more likely to experience nightmares)
5. Why we dream (We dream because we are critical thinkers. Dreaming helps us solve puzzles that have plagued us during daylight hours.)
Facebook/Phones: Can we help you figure out a bizarre dream you've been having?

The Worst Kid Drinks For a Kid
Why are too many kids so fat in 2012? Just look at what they're drinking. The Centers for Disease Control say sweetened beverages are the biggest source of empty carbs in children's diets are do nothing but expand waist lines.Kids should only get 3 teaspoons of sugar a day, but the average 4 to 8 year old is getting 21 teaspoons per day on average. YIKES!
So Debbie Beauvais, who speaks for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, is pushing for parents to stay away from the worst of the worst drinks -- aimed right at your kids.
- Hi-C (One little carton has more sugar per ounce than in a regular Coke!)
- Hawaiian Punch (Not only does a serving have 70 calories and 17 grams of sugar, but it also includes the artificial coloring "Red 40" we've been warned to stay away from)
- Sunny D (just 5% actual juice, but 11 grams of sugar in a 6.75 ounce bottle)
- Capri Sun (6 ounces has 60 calories and 16 g's of sugar)
- Dannon Danimals (70 calories and 14 g's of sugar
