Jub Jub is back for the third time

MJ has brought back many former members of the show, including Froggy 2, Joey B, and Jabberjaw. The same deal now holds true for Jub Jub the Intern, also known by her real name, Elena. She was originally on the show for several months before leaving to take a job with what turned out to be a shady operation in a foreign country. That didn't work out, so she came back and MJ let her back onto the show as an intern. She then was arrested this past June for shoplifting a $69 sweater from a Dillard's store at a local mall. After a dramatic phone conversation with her on the air, MJ felt that this crime was too much for her to remain on the show, so he let her go in late July.

Obviously time has healed this "wound" for MJ and he's had a change of heart about her. When Meredith mentioned that Jub Jub would be taking her to the dentist to have her wisdom teeth pulled, MJ decided to get her on the phone and talk to her. He then had her in the studio and ultimately gave her an intern position on the show for the third time. Is the third time always the charm? Hopefully it will be for Jub Jub. Expect fewer fat jokes and more about her being a thief.

 

 

 

MJ gets some big political names

Some people might think a radio show that is broadcast out of Tampa, Florida wouldn't have as many big-name guests on it compared to shows in markets like New York City, Chicago, or Los Angeles. But MJ has been able to snag a few well-known guests during presidential races over the years. And to the surprise of some, they haven't all been Republicans.

In 2000, MJ & BJ interviewed Democratic presidential candidate Al Gore in the closing days of that year's election. They learned that Mr. Gore is actually from the same area of Tennessee where BJ grew up. Four years later during the Bush-Kerry race of 2004, MJ interviewed John Kerry's younger daughter, Vanessa, in what turned out to be a somewhat heated but solid exchange. This year, MJ has had on three different people involved in the race. He first interviewed John McCain on his afternoon Schnitt Show for over 10 minutes. He then had Senator Joe Lieberman, who is stepping outside of his party to back McCain, live in the morning show studio. Then Sarah Palin called in to the morning show just one week before election day. To wrap it all up, he had McCain on again - this time on the morning show - the day before the election.

 

 

 

 

The Rays and the MJ Morning Show

 

You may not think a radio show like MJ's would be associated with a Major League Baseball team. But there have been some connections between the MJ Morning Show and the American League champion Tampa Bay Rays. In 1999, Dave the Dwarf was a fixture at Tropicana Field, riding around the stadium in a scooter and entertaining the crowd. Also, on June 19, 2005, MJ threw out the first pitch at the Trop when the Rays ironically hosted the St. Louis Cardinals. As expected, the Cards handed Tampa Bay an 8-5 loss that day in one of only a few meetings the two teams have had. And the show has given out several World Series tickets this year to see the Rays play the Philadelphia Phillies. Even though MJ has never been a big fan of the team and says he is still bitter about the 1994 MLB strike, he is still supporting his hometown team during the unprecedented magical run this season.

Listen to MJ's World Series prediction he made in 2004 - a year in which the team won only 70 games. It sounded ridiculous back then and probably even earlier this year. But in 2008, his prediction has come true.

 

 

OLD CONTENT GOES INTO ARCHIVE 2

FOR OLDER CONTENT, GO TO ARCHIVE 1


HOLIDAY BREAST AUGMENTATION CONTEST IS BACK AGAIN
It's a tradition that will always be part of the MJ Morning Show - giving away boobjobs during the end of the year's holiday season. Once again in 2008, MJ will give out a dozen breast augmentations courtesy of Dr. Adams, the official plastic surgeon of the show. He has already done well over 200 procedures, most of which have been forbreast implants, for listeners over the last several years. The first augmentation was given away on Tuesday, November 11, and the rest will follow throughout the weeks leading up to the vacation that they crew will take starting in mid-December.


IDOL PRODUCERS DON'T CARE ABOUT BOTCHED BOOBJOBS
From what Dana the Intern experienced at a recent Jacksonville, FL audition to be on American Idol, the producers apparently do not care about people who have had their breast augmentation surgery botched. That is because Dana, who admittedly has minimal talent in the singing department, wore a shirt that read: "Botched Boobjob - Please Help" in hopes of using that real tactic of her having the surgery botched as a way of convincing the producers to select her to be on the show. She didn't really expect to go to Hollywood, but she did hope to perform in front of the judges and possibly make it on TV because of her somewhat unique problem and request. She and another girl were the possibilities to move on to the next round of competition, but it was the other girl who the producers chose, leaving Dana with only an invitation out the door like thousands of other hopefuls received. Her attempt to get on the show didn't quite live up to what Kristen and Lamosa pulled off during the auditions for Season 3 of the show. They completely fooled the producers and got over three minutes of airtime on national television in January 2004 with Kristen's fake crying episode and "What a Feeling" debacle along withLamosa's act when her partner in crime stormed out of the audition room.

A SOUTH CAROLINA AFFILIATE COULD JOIN THE MJ RADIO NETWORK
MJ briefly mentioned recently that a radio station in South Carolina is interested in picking up the MJ Morning Show. MJ's afternoon Schnitt Show currently airs on 94.5 WSC-FM in Charleston. Although he hasn't mentioned where the affiliate is, it would be pretty ironic if that same station picked up the morning show. It would be the first and only station to air both his morning and afternoon programs. He also said a few other affiliates might be on board in the near future and mentioned at least one Georgia station possibly joining the MJ Radio Network at some point. MJ was on in Atlanta for a few years and built up a decent following there with listeners who still tune into the show via streaming audio. Picking up more affiliates can only be a good thing for the future of the MJ Morning Show.



"PICK YOUR PLASTIC" IS OFF AND RUNNING AGAIN
MJ's "Pick Your Plastic" contest is back and better than ever. Unlike his "Boobapalooza" or "Jingle Jugs" contests, men are eligible for this one, which officially began onMay 19. Twelve plastic surgeries will be handed out to listeners who submit the best e-mail or video entries. The usual procedures are on the list for the contest, but a few new ones have also been added. Men can now get pectoral implants, which is something MJ talked about with Dr. Adams a few months ago. There is also an option to have laser facial rejuvination done for both men and women, in addition to a male version of a breast reduction. Entries are being accepted now so make sure you get yours in because, like MJ says, you have to be in it to win it!



FROGGY CONTINUES TO BATTLE PAIN FROM KIDNEY STONES
Froggy has already missed almost two weeks of work this year. That's because he has been battling some painful kidney stones. He had a bout with them about a year ago, but now they are back and worse than ever. He had to go under the knife for doctors to remove them, and then they put a stent in him that he says is even more painful than the kidney stones. He had his stent removed on Wednesday, Feb. 20. After that, he had back pain and laid on the shower floor with the hot water running on him. MJ thinks he is too young to be experiencing the health problems he's had. On Friday, Feb. 22, Froggy made his return to the show for the first time in decent health.

 

MJ WANTS TO HAVE A WII COMPETITION AT A NURSING HOME
Whether it was his prank call that involved beating up a "fake" 97-year-old man, or it was the time he wouldn't let some old people sit down at the mall because he had a severe migraine, there is no getting around the fact that Froggy isn't fond of the elderly. His love of video games also makes it clear that he is probably pretty good at games for the Nintendo Wii and Xbox 360. That is why MJ wants to set up some kind of competition at a nursing home. If the bit becomes a reality, Froggy will face off against someone who is about 80 years old and who spends a lot of time playing the Wii at an assisted living facility or nursing home. MJ wants to try and prove that old people might be just as good, perhaps even better, than Froggy at playing video games - and maybe it will change Froggy's perception of old people.
