ShowStarters for Monday Feb 10th, 2013
This cracked me up over the weekend...my son getting homework done in the backseat.
I have a new article on PrepForOne.com featuring a new tool I've been using to gather and organize show prep. Check it out here
NOTE I will soon STOP publishing prep on this page and will instead publish it daily on my PrepForOne.com website. I'm working as much as I possibly can to develop that site into a community for radio personalities. I see many sites for trade magazines and consultants, but nothing for just us.

The employer is very impressed. He calls another man in. This man says that he can put the wheels halfway off of a bridge, drive, and not fall off.
The employer is again very impressed. He calls the last man in. He says, "I heard what the other two guys said, and I don't think I could match them. I usually drive in the middle of a bridge".
5 clues you TALK TOO MUCH!
We all know someone where the conversation is heavily lopsided, right? You can't get a word in if you paid for it. They just blab and blab and blab. Blah blah blah blah... UGH! Wait, have you ever stopped to think that may be you? Psychology Today has 5 indications you may be the blabbermouth.... here they are:
1) People tell you that you talk too much. There it is... they're honest and you should be embarrassed.
2) In a phone conversation, you notice absolute silence. No "uh huh," or "yeah," in a while. That means they may have gone off to the bathroom...
3) When people say to you that it's not a good time to talk, you respond with "just let me tell you this one thing and then I'll let you go..."
4) When you think about a conversation later, you recall what you said -- but not the response.
5) You only get along with people that are unusually quiet. Talkative types make you angry.
Some remedies:
Stop and ask your conversation partner, "What do you think?"
Aim to talk less than 50% of the time in any conversation
Write a journal. Blogging may help you organize your thoughts.

Valentines Nuggets:
How popular is Valentines Day in America? Not as popular as you may think. 60% will celebrate on Thursday, making just about every other holiday, except St. Patrick's Day, more popular (Source).
Apps to rev up your relationship:
*** Avocado: Avocado is an app that let's you stay in touch with your sweetie by sending cute messages, share photos, manage dates, create shared lists (vacation ideas, grocery lists), and send hugs and kisses (the app vibrates when you place the phone against your chest).
*** BeCouply: Fresh ideas for date night.
*** Treat: Design your own greeting card using personal photos and customized text. These are real greeting cards you can send to your sweetie (unless, of course, it's a Saturday). The app is free but, of course, the cards comes with a price.

How to stay together
This may not match the advice grandma gave you on your wedding day, but we're finding out the key to a lasting relationship is sharing similar vices. A new study found couples were less likely to divorce if their drinking habits were the same. Get this from the study:
For straight couples where the man was a heavy or “hazardous” drinker, the divorce rate was 13.1%. When the woman was the heavy or hazardous drinker, the divorce rate jumped to 26.8%. Couples in which both spouses were heavy drinkers had a divorce rate if 17.2%. If both spouses were light drinkers, however, the divorce rate was a mere 5.8%.
The best advice is to watch how much you're tipping the bottle back, but when you do, do it together!
