Jimmy's Bio
I came to Richmond in March of 2001 and it's been a great decision. In addition to becoming one of Richmond's most listened to morning radio shows we have also been honored to win the Virginia Association of Broadcasters' "Best Morning Show" award two out of the last three years.
Before coming to Richmond, I spent more than 20 years in Detroit where I did several different programs and was the public address voice of the Detroit Tigers and the University of Michigan Men's Basketball program. Michigan seems like a long time ago now. I've said ya'll enough to have it sound natural!
Thank you for making Richmond such a great place for the Sicilian Princess and me to live!
On the British TV show "Top Gear," there's all sorts of car fun to be had, including racing 'round the track with celebrities. Well, this blind guy wanted to race, too, so they gave him a go. Did he complete a lap safely? More importantly, did he beat other peoples' time?
----------------------------- WAFFLE FIGHT!
Kid Rock was arrested for fighting a guy in a Georgia Waffle House a few months ago. This week, he got probation. Here's the security cam footage:

Yeah....we know it's not true...
But it sure is easy to imagine. Tobacco Row, a local parody site, reported that the dean of television anchors, Gene Cox of NBC-12 had a "meltdown" because he wasn't on Style Weekly's annual power list. We talked about it a little today as if it were real because I've had an ongoing debate with Style over the lack of media people on their list. The TD's Michael Paul Williams is the only non-media owner who has ever been on the list. Gene's meltdown may have been fictitious but it's still a good question. Does he deserve to be on the list? It's my Question of the Day.

PAPER BEATS ROCK? HOW?
Did you know the Rock Paper Scissors Championships were held this past weekend? Neither did I! Fear not; we've got the lowdown from a guy on the scene:

Eau De Richmond?
Actually it's a cute business idea that seems to be doing well. Perfumes that smell like Richmond. It's the brainchild of Amy George who got the idea one day while enjoying the smell of dogwoods in bloom combined with Sauer's bakery smells. Voila, a money maker is born. She says she'd like some ideas for more "Richmond smells." I'm not sure what you'd have to put together to create them but I think we have some dandy ideas for uniquely Richmond scents. Which one do you like best? It's my Question of the Day.

HOW MANY CHAIRS?
During an ECW match, Cactus Jack asks the audience for a folding chair, presumably to whack his opponent. Mr. Jack was not, however, expecting the fans to toss 318 chairs into the ring in less than one minute:

TVs EVERYWHERE!
What began as a strictly sports bar phenomenon has become a staple at virtually every business! Televisions are now in many restaurants, banks, hair salons and convenience stores. They're also making their way to many gas pumps as a way to distract us from our $100 fill ups. Surely there are a few places left that will NEVER get a TV set, right? We tried to come up with a few for our Question of the Day.
