Train Your Goldfish
So little Bubbles doesn't do anything to keep you amused but swim back and forth in his glass habitat?  Not acceptable!  Then teach your little finned friend to do some aquatic tricks by having him attend Fish School.  Check it out.

Padres Loss Immortalized FOREVER on Silver Screen
We all know the Padres have not been playing well so far this season but this is adding insult to injury.  Friday night, May 2, the Padres played the Florida Marlins in Miami.  The outcome...a loss 6-4 in favor of the Fish.  But there was a bright spot....or not!  Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson were in the crowd filming a scene from an upcoming movie called Marley & Me.  Now that's insult to injury.  Check it out here.


Incredible Sports Story
Some might say playing sports is all about the winning.  And yes, that's true to a certain degree.  But this story about a marginal college softball player--a senior--playing in one of the final games of her college career is an amazing study in sportsmanship and respect.  If you view only one video today make it this one. 


TV's Top Moms

It seems like TV moms can do it all -- solve problems, manage conflict, balance family and professional responsibilities -- all in less than thirty minutes. In honor of these super women of the sitcom and divas of drama, TiVo, the creator of and a leader in television services for digital-video recorders (DVRs), has announced the results of an independent survey that ranked the top twenty TV moms of all time.

 

Spanning half a century of entertainment, the survey asked TV lovers to rank their favorite five TV moms from a list of twenty past and present small screen stars. The pool of choices was selected by a TiVo panel of TV experts. The winning TV mom was Clair Huxtable from The Cosby Show, with an impressive 58 percent of the votes, easily outpacing Marion Cunningham from Happy Days, who joined Carol Brady in a distant tie for second place.

 

TiVo's Top TV Moms

1.  Clair Huxtable: The Cosby Show 58%

2.  Marion Cunningham: Happy Days 37%

3.  Carol Brady:  Brady Bunch 37%

4.  June Cleaver: Leave it to Beaver 34%

5.  Marge Simpson: The Simpsons 33%

6.  Wilma Flintstone: The Flintstones 29%

7.  Vivian Banks: Fresh Prince of Bel Air 27%

8.  Caroline Ingalls: Little House on the Prairie 27%

9.  Maggie Seaver: Growing Pains 25%

Mullet Boy
It is with pride that 3-year old Brady Arneson accepted his award as sporting
the Most Outstanding and Best Mullet.  Yes, many have tried but few have actually gone the distance with their mullet.  We are so proud.  Watch out Billy Ray Cyrus!


KyXy Morning Show Doggie in Car Seat



Sonny's Catnip Car
When discussing the new "pet" legislation with Marianne Kushi and Jason Austel
from NBC 7/39 it was determined that, yes, pets should be restrained when riding in cars and not sitting on their master's lap.  It's for the pet's safety, the safety of the driver, AND our safety.  What happens if Fluffy or Fido decides to take a swipe at the driver and he/she loses control of the car (like it happened in Modesto over the weekend), veers across the highway and hits MY car.  Not a good thing.  So maybe Sonny's idea for a Cat Car is not that far off.  Fluffy could ride on the outside of the car and be quite content if you own a Catnip Car as depicted below.  Yes think of how mellow Puss n' Boots would be traveling down the highway at 65 mph and nestling his cute little furry face over every inch of your car covered in catnip!


The Incredible Morphing Actresses
This is pretty cool.

Previously on LOST!


Team Mascot Bloopers
You love the Padre's Swingin' Friar Mascot...but he's never had quite the

News Anchor & Reporter

A couple of newsguys not having the best time on air.
The real fun starts about 1 minute into the piece.





Best Version of our National Anthem ever!



Incredible Airliner Landing.....
Click here.

NBC 7/39 News Anchor is child star....
That's right.  Sonny & Susan have discovered the hidden
talents of NBC 7/39 news anchor Steven Luke.  Mega Star!
Watch his national tv commercial from the 80's and judge
for yourself.  (By the way, he's the cute kid that says "Wow!")


LOST Fans...get your Sawyer nickname here!
Sawyer has a "knack for knicknames" (don't you just
love the alliteration?)  He calls Kate "Freckles", "Puddin'", "Sweet Cheeks"; Hurley "Stay Puft"; Jack "Quinn";Locke "Mr. Clean";Desmond "Scotty"; etc, etc etc.  So if you were LOST on the island, what would Sawyer call you?  Find out here.


KyXy Morning Show "Lite" Show
Oh sure, big deal.  Some guy decorates his house with thousands of Christmas
lights and synchronizes them to a Trans Siberian Orchestra track.  Well, the KyXy Morning Show can "one-up" that with this high-tech holiday light show that is darn-near underwhelmingly pathetic...but it uses the the same Trans Siberian Orchestra song "Wizards In Winter."  Prepare to be amazed!  (We're amazed it's actually on our web page.)

We Want ABBA
Believe it or not....that's what a recent survey of Brits discovered.
Of all pop bands, since the beginning of time, they want the Swedish
group ABBA making a comeback.  Also rans in the competition were:
Spandau Ballet, Wham! and The Jacksons.  And along those lines, here's a
music group that loves ABBA so much they play the ABBA hit Mamma Mia
on bottles.  Check it out here.



Arnold Can't Flip
Was our own Sonny West the only person in the Western World
to uncover this little tidbit...California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger

cannot or does not know how to flip a coin?  Come on!  The Governator?
Arnold was giving the honor of the opening coin flip.
We've slowed it down so you can actually see that the coin never even turns
over once in mid-air.  I guess some can flip the bird, some can flip a pancake
but not everyone can flip a coin.


Bird Dances to Backstreet Boys
Check out snowball the cockatoo dancing and grooving to the song "Everybody" by the
Backstreet Boys.  Quick!  Someone call Dancing with the Stars.


Amaze Your Friends with this Audio Illusion
Listen to this 12 second video and listen to the way the tones climb up the scale. 
Then immediately play the video again and you'll notice that the tones continue
to climb.  Here's the best part...they really don't.  They are the exact same tones
over and over again.  Your brain makes you "think" they are increasing up the scale. 
Check it out!  And if you have the scientific reason why this occurs email us at
morningshow@kyxy.com.




Feed Your Meter?  Fahgedaboutit!
Yeah, that's what Sonny & Susan said on the KyXy Morning Show on a minor holiday.
After all, that's the information they received from their news source.
Oh happy day!  No need to feed your meter in downtown...free parking...woohoo!
Just one small thing, though.  WRONG!  Hey "news source"!  Thanks for
making us look like dolts.  If you can't believe a wire service, then who can you
believe?  A question we will ask ourselves often whenever getting
the supposed inside scoop from our outside source.  Our bad for not double checking.
So then the calls began.  Irate KyXy Morning Show listeners who took our advice and
neglected their meters...and were surprised with their personal "touch" of
citationistic (not even a word) happiness--parking ticket to the layman.  Ouch!
We felt your pain as we wallowed in the darkness of our own dj ineptitude. 
What to do?  Pay 'em for you!  Out of our own pockets, nonetheless.  Ouch, again!
But it WAS our fault.  So we coughed up the bucks for everyone who called and
delivered the dough Tuesday morning.  Our monetary mea culpa if you will.  And here
is one of the documented deliveries to JMA Architecture Studios on 4th Avenue.


Kangaroo Videos...
It's amazing that in the first video the roo, hopping through traffic
on a race course, does not get hit...thankfully. 
And in the second video watch as the little "joey"
makes it's first hop into the real world.  Darn cute!




Mom, Are You Tired of Barking @ Your Kids?
You are going to love this.  Anita Renfroe puts to song
everything you've always wanted to tell your kids.
Enjoy and have a good laugh, too.


Gas-Powered Margarita Maker
While Sonny was relaxing at his Charger tailgate party
he stumbled--literally--across one of the most incredible
inventions.  So amazing that Leonardo da Vinci
himself would have stood in awe and wonder trying to
assimilate what was being presented before his very
bloodshot eyes.  Leave the extension chord at home, now
you can enjoy the icee goodness of your favorite margarita
anywhere...as long as you remember your gas can. 



Amazing!  Yet almost painful to watch!
This contortionist is truly amazing. Click here.

Baseball fans...you'll love this!
If you're a baseball fan like Sonny is, then you are going to love this video.

Then you have to click here.  This is really cool.  Check it out!

In life we must make many choices.  Some are rather significant, others minor.  But these life choices are never simple.  They involve much thought and consideration.  The importance of the initial decision should always be examined over the long run.  Memories made and cherished are sure to be tempered along the way.  Consider these following two life choices:

SHOULD I GET A DOG?



OR HAVE KIDS?




"I LIKE TURTLES!"
Ya' gotta love this "zombie" kid who just got his face painted at a street faire when some TV reporter attacks him and fires a question at him.  Seems he just came from a turtle exhibit and he was still pretty-darn stoked about the shelled creatures.  He is getting his 15 minutes of fame from this little taped piece. 




McGurk Effect
This is pretty cool.  It's a scientific principle that is called the McGurk Effect.  Here's how you should approach this to experience it fully.
1)  Click on this link   www.media.uio.no/personer/arntm/McGurk_english.html
2)  WATCH and LISTEN to the video a couple of times
3)  Then, just LISTEN to the video with your eyes closed
Do you hear the difference?


If you are a Sex in the City fan, then you will howl at this parody rip-off of the hit HBO comedy.  Check out Bea Arthur as Carrie, Sally Struthers as Samantha, Katherine Helmond as Miranda, Charlotte Rae as Charlotte and ta dah.....Abe Vigoda as Big.  Just click on this link tvland.com/video/index.jhtml

Don't tell this hippo she's a wild animal.  And don't tell her she's not a dog or that she's not allowed in the kitchen...


Why you should never use your phone during a concert.......



 
So your honey got an iPhone and now all he does is play with IT and not you!  Perhaps the thought of "blending" it has entered your mind but you're not quite sure if it will blend or not..  Here's a guy who has done just that.

WHAT’S YOUR PSYCHIC NUMBER?
According to Vedic numerology, each of us has a “psychic number” - based on the day we were born - that reveals our character, talents and who we’re really meant to be. To find your psychic number, don’t worry about the month or year of your birth, simply check the digits of the day you were born.

If the day of your birth is: 1, 10, 19 or 28    Psychic number is 1

You’re dynamic.  Number 1s are filled with vitality, energy and warmth.  You’re bold and radiant, and people want to follow you.  You have a strong sense of individuality, need your freedom and hate limitations.  You make friends very easily.

If the day of your birth is: 2, 11, 20 or 29  Psychic number is 2

You’re creative.  Twos are very selfless and usually interested in some sort of cause.  You like to inspire others and bring people together through the arts.  You want everyone to get along, and are a great diplomat and arbitrator - but you need your own creative space; 2s usually like to live alone. 

If the day of your birth is: 3, 12, 21 or 30   Psychic number is 3

You’re a high achiever.  Very ambitious and dynamic, you probably started on your career path early and have already achieved most of your goals.  Confident and hardworking, 3s do whatever it takes to succeed and always need to be busy.  You’re great at multitasking and can easily switch from one thing to another.


If the day of your birth is: 4, 13, 22 or 31  Psychic number is 4

You’re flexible.  Number 4s are very adaptable.  Most likely, you’ve had your struggles, but your patience and courage helped you adjust and made you stronger.  Fours have a real appreciation for art and a huge heart, often giving away a good deal of their money to people in need.

If the day of your birth is: 5, 14 or 23  Psychic number is 5 

You’re intuitive.  You’re naturally inquisitive, adventurous and go with your gut.  You often finish people’s sentences or know how they’re feeling without having to be told.  Because you’re so good at reading people, you’re also very convincing and can persuade anyone to do what you want.

If the day of your birth is: 6, 15 or 24   Psychic number is 6

You’re young-at-heart.  Number 6s are youthful, have refined taste and a love of luxury.  Female 6s are also feminine and typically fond of dresses and jewelry.  Appearance is important to you - you love shopping for clothes and always look polished from head to toe.

If the day of your birth is: 7, 16 or 25  Psychic number is 7

You’re very intelligent.  Number 7s are often restless, emotional and sentimental.  Scholarly, you love in-depth discussions - and can always hold your own in an argument.  You’re also very lucky; and that good luck rubs off on those around you.

If the day of your birth is: 8, 17 or 26   Psychic number is 8

You’re goal-oriented.  Obstacles don’t stop you, they only make you work harder.  You prefer to work alone, rarely asking others for help.  Deep thinking, introverted and often serious. 8s are devoted to family and close friends.  You’re honest and straightforward and expect others to be, too.

 
If the day of your birth is: 9, 18 or 27  Psychic number is 9

You’re competitive.  You have a fighting spirit, and probably played sports in high school or love competitive games.  Determined, confident and ready for anything, you have a strong will that makes all things possible.  You’re constantly engaged in activities; and don’t rest until you’ve succeeded.


Law of Abundance
How the law of abundance works.
The Law of Abundance is the belief that by willing yourself abundance you allow it to come to you. The most obvious use of the Law is for an abundance of wealth. By following the steps you could come into unexpected gains, possibly in the form of money. This does not mean you will gain millions or even hundreds of dollars--the "abundance" can come in many forms but it will always come to you completely unexpected.
For an Abundance of Wealth:
  1. Make a fake check out of yellow paper.
  2. Fill out the check on the day of the new moon before it peaks.
  3. Write your full name on the "Pay To" line.
  4. Write "Paid In Full" on the handwritten amount line.
  5. "Sign" the check with "Law of Abundance."
  6. NEVER date the check (you don't want to limit the day the abundance can arrive.)
  7. NEVER fill in the dollar amount (you don't want to limit the size of abundance.)
  8. NEVER throw out the check--save it in a box or the abundance will be "reclaimed."

Predict Your Future with a One Dollar Bill
Hold the bill with George Washington facing you:
If the left margin is wider than the right margin--it means good luck is headed your way in the finance and romance departments. Take risks, act on instincts and ask someone out on a date.
If the margin on the right is wider than the left--this is the month to play it safe in money and love. Things will eventually turn around--but lay low for now.
If the bill is wrinkled and crumpled--your physical energy is running low. Do not exert yourself next month. Rest and baby yourself until your energy cycle returns.
If the bill is smooth and slick--the next month will be full of pep and vigor. Work a little harder than you normally would and there will be big rewards.
If the same digit appears twice in the green serial number--money is headed your way. This is not true if a number appears more than twice.
If the first letter in the green serial number is followed by an even number--you may encounter resistance or conflict from a friend or family member. Be patient!
If the first letter in the green serial number is follwed by an odd number--an old lover may be coming back into your life. Use caution!
If the last two digits of the serial number (just before the last letter) are odd, pay more attention to your driving becasue you are headed for a crash. Drive defensively and slow down. If the number is even, you're cool!

Your Astrological Sign Predicts Your Chance of Causing a Car Crash
ARIES-You are at fault 6.6% off the time. You are most likely to crash between the hours of 11am and 5pm.
TAURUS-You are responsible for 6.2% of crashes. Be cautious driving in the dark.
GEMINI-You cause 9.3% of crashes. You are most likely an over-aggressive driver and like to cut other drivers off.
CANCER-You cause 8.8% of accidents...most often at intersections.
LEO-You cause 7.4% of crashes...and most of them are rear-enders on a straight road.
VIRGO-10.7% of car crashes are your fault. You have tendency to speed.
LIBRA-You are the cause of 6.1% of all car crashes. You are the lowest of all the astrological signs. Call your insurance company for a discount.
SCORPIO-Your sign results in causing 6.8% of crashes most of which are head-on collisions on straight roads. So, be careful when passing.
SAGITTARIUS-Watch out, you cause 6.8% of all car crashes. These are usually broadside collisions at intersections.
CAPRICORN-You cause 13%...you are the most crash prone driver in the zodiac. You tend to ignore traffic signs and tend to do "your own thing."
AQUARIUS-This sign is involved with 9.9% of mishaps. Most collisions are involved with smaller vehicles...so you might want to drive a "land yacht."
PISCES-Responsible for 8.4% of crashes usually because you are not paying attention.

Stop Procrastinating
Five tips to get things done quicker:
Tell yourself off. Get yourself motivating by telling yourself that "dawdling is weak and silly."
Make time to get started. Set aside five minutes to get yourself rolling into the "task" mode.
Picture the payoff. Get yourself fired up by focusing on how great you'll feel when the project is completed.
Publicize your intentions. Tell your spouse, friends and coworkers what you intend to do and you'll be more apt to follow through and save face.
Postpone a simple, everyday pleasure.. Don't relax until you finsih your task. Don't watch your fave tv show, read your book or do that crossword puzzle until you've accomplished your task.
