CLICK HERE to enter the PhilCast "Pick the Podium" contest today! All you have to do is pick who you think will win this year's Tour de France and you could win.
Recyclist and Gear N Up have provided $60.00, $35.00 and $25.00 gift certificates to the 1-2-3 podium finishers. Plus if your rider finishes 1-2 or 3 we'll draw from all those who made the same pick and you'll the podium finishers will also get a PhilCast T-shirt.

Oh yeah. Clark Howard is gonna like my plans for the opening of the show today on this 'cooler' Thursday. Be sure to catch the start of the PhilCast today at 3:10-ish after the news. It all has to do with my customer no-service story of the day.

Also today I'll have a restaurant review, seeing as I finally got to a place that many listeners have recommended to me, Apollon. While there I also picked up on a local story that may or may not be true about the place. I'll discuss.

And it's Thursday, meaning Hollywood news and gossip today. But Lips is on vacation so listener "Emily the Library Whatever" will once again be filling his shoes....and she can do it. The girl can dish on this stuff!

Talk to you this afternoon.

It's hard to believe and seems somewhat unfair to me, a guy who loves the heat of summer so much. Today is the first day of my favorite season, yet it already marks another occasion from the dark side as well.

As of tomorrow the days already start getting shorter. Doesn't seem fair coming just 24 hours after the official start of the summer season.

The Brewers play on WHBY this Wed. afternoon, so the PhilCast will be shortened quite a bit. That actually works for me because it gives Sandy and me a chance to do a little house hunting in the area. On a personal note I can tell you it is still slow going when it comes to selling and buying, at least in my world.

I can also tell you that Ms. ReciPIPPA the Week herself Pippa is scheduled to drop by the studio today to pick up some Florida sea shells I brought back for her from our vacation....a little thank you for her work on the ReciPIPPA the Week. Maybe I'll have her and Mrs. Biggest, who will also be in the studio at the time, say hi during today's "The Last" segment.

Stay cool. Me? I'm just trying to hang on to summer already.

Hot today. In fact I am inviting you to complete the following to provide me with jokes for the show today. "It's so hot out today that....." (go ahead and finish for me) Post your contribution by CLICKING HERE.

Monday means "Howz Yer Weekend?" on the PhilCast. We'll chat about our weekends in the first hour of the show.
You can call in live at 281-1150 or 1-866-887-1150 or just post some details up at the PhilCast Facebook fan page by CLICKING HERE.

Also, congrats go out to Katherine Ann Gorman, Miss LaCrosse Octoberfest from Onalaska (isn't that who Reggie the Producer picked to win? Oh no....there'll be no living with him if I have remembered right about that). I know for sure that my pick made the top finalists at least.



Two tech things got under my skin over the weekend, and I'll discuss both. Talk to you Monday afternoon.
