📅 Today is National Hug Your Cat Day…

😻 But Dcat says:
“Touch me and you lose a finger.”

So instead of hugs, I offered a respectful nod from across the room.
She still looked offended.

Had a just a great time today with this guy, Pryor Baird. Not only is he a fantastic singer, guitarist and all around good dude, but we learned he can't handle Thai food very well. His current single, "The One Left Behind" is one fantastic song. Really appreciate him and Doug Johnson stopping by the station for our Z100 Radio Roadhouse. We will have the video posted tomorrow. You will not want to miss it.

🎉 Happy Cinco de Mayo! 🌮 But wait, it’s also National Cartoonist Day! 🖌️ So let’s celebrate with tacos and doodles—because nothing says “fiesta” like a tequila shot while drawing a cartoon cactus doing the salsa. 🍹🌵 Here’s to a day filled with laughter, guacamole, and maybe a few cartoonish mustaches! 🥳🎈

Happy National Pet Parents Day from DMac & Dcat! 🐾
Who’s really in charge around here? That would be Dcat, the true boss, who’s always lurking in the background, waiting for a chance to take over.
She’s the one who keeps the chair warm, the mood chill, and occasionally knocks over my coffee. But hey, at least she doesn’t mind being my co-host when things get wild. 😼🎙️

📡🎶 Happy International Marconi Day! 🎶📡
Shoutout to Guglielmo Marconi, the guy who made it possible for us to talk on the radio (and for me to chat your ears off every afternoon)! 😎 Without him, I'd just be here talking to myself… and I’d probably still be using a tin can and string! 🎤📞

Today, I went bananas… literally. Turns out, standing in a banana grove makes you 42% more appealing.
