Stattmans' Hypermiler experiment! Please read SAFETY precautions!

2008-06-26T07:01:00.000-07:00

Hypermilage results

Traveled 23.8 miles along I71 between Kings Mill and downtown in a Chevy Avalanche!

Driving normal it took 20 minutes and got 15.4 mpg

Driving with the hypermilage techniques it took 26 minutes and got 20.6 mpg

It breaks down costing in gas $6.18 driving normally and $4.62 using hypermilage techniques to drive 23.8 miles.

So, driving normally ends up costing $1.56 more to drive 23.8 miles. Or you save $1.56 in gas driving with Hypermilage techniques.

Hypermilers use many tactics to try to get extra fuel mileage. Some are more practical than others. Some sacrifice comfort. Some are considered unsafe by driving experts.

Great deal on Riverbend Concert tickets this week only!

2008-06-24T04:53:00.000-07:00

Thank you John Matarese for the heads up on this story!

It's the pet peeve of many concertgoers. Ticketmaster surcharges and other fees can turn a $50 concert ticket into a $75 ticket. And normally the only solution is staying home.

But Cincinnati's Riverbend Music Center, facing slower ticket sales and very few sold out shows this year, is making the rare move of lifting all ticket surcharges this week.

You can save as much as $15 per ticket if you purchase your tickets in person at the Riverbend Box office this week.

The box office will be open 11am till 6pm through Friday. You must show up in person: no phone call purchases.

Some tickets are still available to John Mellencamp, Brad Paisley, Kenny Chesney, and Dave Matthews, shows that in most years would have sold out the first day.

Sorry, this offer does not apply to tickets not yet on sale, such as Toby Keith in September. As always, don't waste your money. I'm John Matarese.

Stattman takes a turn as a first lady contender!

Shania's letter to fans following the announcement of her impending divorce from Mutt Lange

2008-06-06T03:36:00.001-07:00

"To my beloved fans:
As I am sure you have seen or heard; I am going through a rough time personally in my life. I wanted you all to know that I could not be getting through this without you. Your letters, emails and words of encouragement give me strength. Your overwhelming support reminds me to smile, no matter how deep the pain and to always be grateful for all the beautiful blessings in my life.
I have so much to say but I know the best way for me to speak is through my music. This is my therapy, my passion, and my love. I look forward to sharing it with all of you as I begin this new journey.
I need some time to heal this broken heart but make no mistake; I will be back and hopefully stronger than ever.
Thank you my friends, from the bottom of my heart.

Chris Cagle and Girl friend Jennifer Tant - Nice Mugshots!

2008-05-29T03:14:00.000-07:00

AAAh There's nothing like Redneck love!
CHRIS CAGLE and his girlfriend, Jennifer Tant, were arrested early yesterday (Wednesday) morning at their home near Nashville, charged with misdemeanor violence and assault. Chris Cagle and his girlfriend were being held in a Nashville jail Wednesday morning according to WTVF-TV in Nashville.

Cagle's latest arrest occurred around 4:40 a.m. Wednesday after he and girlfriend Jennifer Tant visited Players Inn, a bar located west of Nashville in the Bellevue community. Police reports indicate the couple got into a verbal dispute after leaving the bar and that the disagreement apparently escalated into a physical altercation once they arrived at Cagle's home.

After arriving at Cagle's house, officers determined that Cagle and Tant appeared to be intoxicated and that both showed signs of physical abuse. According to a police affidavit, Cagle had a bump on his head caused by Tant hitting him with an umbrella, and Taut had a scrape on her lip and a sore arm from Cagle hitting her with her purse. According to the television station, the couple refused to leave the house, and Tant told police she would rather go to jail than leave Cagle's home.

Cagle and Tant were arrested and taken into custody under Tennessee state domestic violence laws that considered both of them to be a primary aggressor. The law also mandates that both of them remain in jail until 4:40 p.m. Wednesday. Bond has been set at $1,500 each.

Chris was scheduled to leave Wednesday on a bus for a show in Florida scheduled for last night. (No word on the show.) This is Chris' second brush with the law after an altercation in December with the boyfriend of a female fan in Arizona. He will be back in Tucson to face charges in that incident in September.

How to remove a ring from your finger!

2008-05-14T08:46:00.000-07:00

Amanda's finger swelled up with her pregnancy and she couldn't remove her ring.
We had many tips from creative listeners on how to get it off! These are what she tried:

Windex - does make it slippery and would probably work for a SLIGHTLY swollen finger.

Preparation H- Smelled BAD. Did not work. Very Messy.

WD 40- Smelled, did not work.

Floss - Did not work.

Soap - Did not work.

Butter - Did not work.

soaking in ice water - Did not work. In fact, some nurses called in and warned the ice water could actually tighten the metal of the ring on her finger!!

elevating above the heart - Did not work

Valuable lesson: Don't try all of these in one morning. By 9am that particular finger was actually twice as swollen as the others.

Final result: Listener Connie, who works for hand surgeon Dr Kahle in Mongtomery, recommended an office visit. The good doctor tightly wrapped twine around the entire finger and slowley moved the ring over the twine. Very painful, took awhile, Amanda needed a local to reduce the pain during the procedure. If you end up in the same predicament and it comes to this, go to a Doctor - Please Don't try at home!!!

Singer Eric Church sang for us this morning!!

2008-05-09T04:19:00.000-07:00

Toby Keith talks with Bill and Amanda!

We chose Lola's question "Do you recognize "repeat offenders" in the audience and does it make him laugh and creep him" His answer: He laughs, but the look alikes in the audience - slightly creepy!

A salute to Amanda's obsessions!

2008-04-09T03:56:00.000-07:00

Thank you David who did an awsome mock up of Keith Urban and The Phantom of the Opera - two of Amanda's great passions. Apparently his wife is a great fan of both as well!!!

"My wife concurs with your opinion of Keith as the Phantom. So here is a little something I did for the both of you."

Julianna Hough, our official correspondant for this season of Dancing with the Stars!!

2008-03-26T05:52:00.000-07:00

Amanda asked her about the rumors swirling around former Dance champions Drew Lachey and Cheryl, Julianne says she sympathized since she herself, was accused of having relationships with BOTH her former partners, but in real life she wouldn't "Touch em with a 10 ft pole" because they are friends. Julianne also predicted correctly that she and her current partner Adam Corrola would NOT be voted off, because people like to watch improvement, not someone who is a great dancer from the very beginning!

Transparent Pie baby! Statt made some, you can too!

"Leatherheads" Movie Premiere!

2008-03-25T05:12:00.000-07:00

Maysville is the center of the world this week! To find more pictures and video of the Red Carpet event, Click on the Clooney link (TOP RIGHT COLUMN)!

"Leatherheads" is a romantic comedy set in the 1920s. Very quick dialogue. Great chemistry between Dodge(George) and Lexie (Renee) even better chemistry between Dodge and Carter (John Kryzinski). I thought it was refreshing to see a movie with some good old fashioned fistfights that doesn't rely on a lot of special effects. This film doesn't need them. Surprisingly for me -- some of my favorite scenes were on the football field and Bill loved the sparks between Renee and George! Great film. You can feel comfortable going with any member of your family. I would see it more than once! -- Amanda

Statt checks out George Clooney's reserved seats at the Washington Opera House!

Stattman spent the morning in Maysville !

2008-03-24T05:36:00.001-07:00

Statt was hot on the trail of George Clooney in Maysville this morning as the entire town was up early and getting ready for tonight's movie premiere of "Leatherheads". He didn't find George but he sat in his seats at the Washington Opera House where the movie is being shown, had pancakes at Marge's restaurant and had a chat with Mayor Cartmell.

Got a question for George Clooney?

2008-03-24T05:27:00.000-07:00

Amanda will be on the red carpet tonight in Maysville for the premiere of "Leatherheads", email your question to her

aorlando@b105.com

and she may ask George and Rene YOUR QUESTION on the carpet. It's the next best thing to being there!

Dolly was talking up her new album "Backwards Barbie" this morning and answered our special listener mystery question from Joe R. in Batavia:

"We heard you refer to your "girls" as "Shock and Awe", do you have any other nicknames for them?"

Dolly's answer? "Puppies, or girls". Bill reminded her that the economy was sagging and she quickly replied, "That not the only thing!".

Well, Hello Dolly! Check out her music at dollypartonmusic.net

Julianne Hough is our official Dancing with the Stars Correspondent!!

2008-03-18T08:05:00.000-07:00

Julianne gave us her first report of the season on 'Dancing with the Stars' and says her partner this year - Adam Corolla- actually has a lot more to show us on the dance floor but thinks nerves may have gotten the better of him on the premiere. She thinks that Jason Taylor has some serious untapped dance potential. We are excited to have her with us every Tues at 8:20am for the rest of the season!

The New Bachelor Matt Grant!!

2008-03-18T08:00:00.000-07:00

Matt was our guest this morning to talk about the premiere of the new season of "The Bachelor" on ABC. We think he is our favorite Bachelor so far. Very funny and actually thought Bachelorette Stacey was "uncool". Matt told us he was approached by an American woman while on a REALLY bad date in London to be on the show. He did tell us that he found someone special on the show, it is our job to figure it out who she is!
