On today's show (broadcasting from LA!) Luke has to admit that Vanessa's crazy travel website deal schemes might actually work, plus a new segment! 'What's The Worst Possible Movie You Can Rent This Weekend!' with JD and Thunder from the Stack of Dimes ...today's selection?

American Ninja!

See you in a minute!

For the last couple weeks everytime I see this story of the dispute between Marcus Jordan and his school over his insistance on wearing Air Jordans during games, my blood would simmer. But today, it's boiling.

Today his college lost their 3 million dollar Adidas contract because Marcus Jordan wants to "honor his father"...by wearing a pair of shoes? Be respectful, call him on Sundays, give him a nice Father's Day gift...these are just some suggestions that don't include your school losing money they use to pay your teammate's scholarships...kids who didn't grow up with a massively rich father who has been praised and honored and respected every second of the last 30 years.

One other thing: to the boys in my high school who pranced around in their Air Jordans...they didn't make you better basketball players, get over it.

It IS a great time to be a lady in America.

The mini-series was awesome. When I was a kid I developed my lifelong love affair with tv. And nothing could be better than a mini-series because it was 2 hours a night of tv and it usually started on Sunday night and ran the whole week and it felt like it was an important cultural event that the whole country was watching together so my parents almost always let me watch them (not Thorn Birds though...I had to sneak to Grandma Georgia's to watch that one).

These are my favorites (don't freak out, I was too young for "Roots" and saw it in college, not in mini-series form):

North and South (Patrick Swayze as Orry and Kirstie Alley as Virgilia = super hot)
The Day After (scared the hell out of me and everyone else)
V (whatever happened to Marc Singer? He's having quite a week...Chevy Chase's character on "Community" came as BeastMaster on the Halloween episode)

So I was totally excited for the remake of V and I shouldn't have been. First, it's filled with C-list actors (sorry Bailey from Party of Five). Second, it isn't a mini-series, it's just an hour long weekly series like anything else. Third, it all feels like it's been seen before (one character actually said, "This is Independence Day").

Nikki FInke, take a memo: Bring back the epic mini-series with big stars and five nights in a row... it brings families and even nations together... maybe it would even solve the health care debate... I don't know, but it could be awesome.

This is going to be the most successful radio show ever. Or be cancelled in 1.5 years. One of the two.

I'm flying down to LA right during showtime today, but we've got quite a treat for you... the VERY FIRST HOUR OF TBTL EVER.

Tune in today @ Noon if you've ever wondered what this little experiment sounded like on it's maiden voyage (spoiler alert... not that good). We were nervous, giddy, inexperienced, and slightly drunk. If you listen closely you can almost hear my heart beating out of my chest.

Tomorrow we'll hook the lappy toppies up to the intertubes and do a live show from LA (our first ever outside the confines of Burbank Studios). The chances are pretty good we'll be nervous, giddy and slightly drunk (hell, it worked for that first show, why mess with success?)

See you then!
