David L was in for Brotha’ Fred alongside Morgan Fogarty tonight on Fox Charlotte’s Newsedge.

Tonight’s Top Topic: Should Danica Patrick come to NASCAR?

08_danica-patrick_01
Danica finished third in Sunday’s Indy 500. It was the highest finish in the Indianapolis 500 for a woman. There have been rumours (for a long time) of Danica moving to NASCAR. She has plenty of endorsement deals including XM radio, Motorola and Godaddy. Danica also made the cover of Sports Illustrated back in 2005 among many other magazine appearances. She turned down an offer from playboy to appear nude.
 In March Fox Charlotte had a story about CMS kindergarten teacher Brianne Cronrath. Brianne started racing at the age of 3 and hopes to make it to NASCAR’s big leagues.
 Bruton Smith who owns Lowes Motor Speedway and other NASCAR tracks, stated “It would really be wonderful if we could find some woman who could really offer the appeal, that you’re after and I’m after. It would be great.”
 David & Morgan both said they thought it would be great if Danica Patrick came to NASCAR. (I think it would be great too. But it might also signal the end for Indycars.)

Tonight was the season premiere of Jon & Kate plus 8. Morgan had her husband Jeremy record the episode but was told what happened. THis is a spoiler alert for those that have yet to watch it.
 At a birthday for the sextuplets Kate mentioned this might be the last one. ALso there was mention of Jon apologizing for bad decisions although he said he did not cheat on Kate. He also exprerssed he does not look forward to when his kids grow up and google the whole story. (Should have thought of that before he put himself and his family on television.)
 David said they should get on Pay Per View and box it out.
Morgan mentioned Jon was previous to the show and IT support person and was fired for misappropriating equipment. (These are our role models?)

Seniors at a Portland, Maine High School have Prom Rugby. They play in their prom dresses and players tear off pieces of other players dresses. As The Edge crew pointed out they do not look like real prom dresses but clothes from a thrift store. David said they look like drag queens. (From a search I found that a number of high schools and colleges have prom dress rugby.)

American Idol finalist, Danny Gokey went home to Milwaukee. He said his music career is just getting started. The Time Warner Arena in Charlotte will host the American Idol Live Tour on August 21. Tickets they reported as costing $1000. David said why pay that kind of money when most of them will be working at Wendy’s next year.

Susan Boyle the 48 year old singning sensation in England has moved on to the final 8 in Britain’s Got Talent. She performed “Memory” from the play Cats. Simon Cowell said during the show “You are one special lady, I have to say, you really are.” Simon axctually apologized to Susan.

Billy Joel is being sued by a former drummer named Liberty Devitto. The drummer is claiming Joel owes royalties from 1975 to 2005 for hits that include “Uptown Girl” and  “Movin’ Out.”

Pope Benedict XVI has joined Facebook. He also knows has a personal website you can find HERE.

Students from Phillip O. Berry Academy of Technology are rapping about the EOC tests. They are being used to help remember equations, theories and formulas used on the tests. (West Charlotte High will try the same thing I understand.)

(Must say David L is fun to watch on the Edge. He sometimes starts off looking a bit nervous with the cameras but then seems very relaxed and extremely funny. Hopefully you watched him the last couple of nights or catch him when he appears again. Might be some videos from these shows on the Fox Charlotte website. You can also listen to him, sans cameras on Brotha’ Fred’s A.M. Mayhem on 96.1 the Beat mornings starting at 5:30am.

johnson_bob_cha_080121The Edge Crew tonight was made up of Fox News’ Derek James & David L from 96.1’s A.M. Mayhem.
Tonight’s Top Topic: What do you think will happen to the Bobcat’s?
The Bobcat’s are for Sale. Cheap! Current owner Bob Johnson paid over $300 million back in 2003 and controls 70% of the team. Forbes magazine puts the team’s worth at $284 million, which is 29th in the NBA.
The first question asked is can the Bobcats move? According to the Mayor the team would have to pay the city in part to reimburse the cost for the statsium, $200 million. After 2010 that amount would drop to $150 million.
Bruce Snyder, Fox Charlotte News Sports Director, came on the Edge and said the team would be better without Bob Johnson. Bruce said the owner is rarely at games or does interviews. Bruce went on to say he would be shocked if the team moved.
David said the cheerleaders beat the Bobcats in practice. (I can imagine a Lingerie Basketball Team in the making!)

Men are on the road to extinction. (Probably because we won’t stop to ask directions.) Professor Graves a Rsearcher from the Australian National Universityis saying the male Y chromosome is dying. The chromosome could run out within the next five million years. The professor said  “Humans can’t become parthenogenetic or asexually reproduce, like some lizards, because several vital genes must come from the male,” she went on to say “But the good news is that certain rodent species – the mole voles of Eastern Europe and the country rats of Japan – have no Y chromosome and no SRY gene. “

aikenlambert052309Clay Aiken wrote in his blogg about American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert. Clay wrote: “It” man’s singing as “contrived, awful and slightly frightening,”  David & Derek reported it costs $30 to even get into Clay’s website. (actually basic membership is $19.99. If you also want the coffee mug and lapel pin it cost $30.) Derek said American Idol should stop bringing in professional who are ringers.

Mary Kay Letourneau is hosting a “Hot for Teacher” night at a Seatle nightclub. Mary Letourneau is a celebrity because she is a former teacher who dated her sixth grade student, Vili Fualaau. She was 34 and he was 12 when their relationship started. Mary had two children with the student who is now 26 and served 7 1/2 years in prison. They have been married four years. This is the third time the couple have hosted Hot for Teacher night at Fuel Sports Eats & Beats.

The Denver Zoo is turning poop into power. The zoo is working with the University of Colorado at Denver. They are getting the poop from two asian elephants who each produce 75-100 pounds of waste each day.

A recent study found 1 out of 5 people pee in the pool. They looked at 1000 U.S. adults and 17% admitted letting themselves go in the pool. Even Michael Phelps admitted to doing it last year on the Jimmy Kimmel show. If you are one of the swimmers who have coughs or red, stinging eyes after emerging from the pool then that pool probably was contaminated from people peeing in the pool. It is recommended not to swallow pool water.

It comes with everything from just wedding music to a full traditional ceremony, and Best says he will marry you anywhere the truck can park. The wedding chapel was built on CMT’s Trick my Truck.
