We began the week this morning wishing our partner and friend Bob Williams a speedy recovery with hopes that he returns to the show tomorrow.
Within the next two days we should know the name of the grand prize winner of the Malt Shop Memories Cruise contest. Be listening, it could be you if you qualified over the past month.
This coming weekend WHLI will once again provide twice hourly updates on The Masters Golf Championship from Westwood One. The live reports will air at 16 and 46 minutes after the hour beginning at 11:16 AM Saturday morning and continuing at 2:16 PM Sunday afternoon.

The annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue is out. This single issue is responsible for 7% of the magazine's entire annual revenue. So they play it up big. They say this year, they're taking a multi-platform approach. They have a Swimsuit app for i-phones and droids. There's even a 3D version for Playstations. The publishers say this year's issue will be on everything with a screen.
Tell me about it. I stopped at the bank this morning...it was on the ATM!!! |

APPLE

We reported on the show that Wall Street analysts are predicting by the end of this year, Apple will be the most valuable company in the world. They're raising Apple's projected stock price to $467 a share for the year. Which would give the company a total market value of $433 billion dollars, eclipsing Exxon-Mobil.
I discussed with Bob the various ways Apple has changed our lives. We can now download Cowsills and Travis Tritt singles to a tiny matchbox sized machine. We can now hit an 'app' on our i-phone to find the nearest dry cleaner or sushi restaurant. Thanks to Apple, we're doing stuff today we don't even WANNA do! |

THE MOST DISLIKED

New poll out. The 10 most disliked people in sports. Al Davis, the Raiders owner tops the list as the most hated person in sports. Followed by Michael Vick, Jerry Jones, Mark McGwire, Manny Ramirez, Terrell Owens, and...get this; still in the top ten despised sports figures...Bobby Knight! Who I believe is now throwing chairs at the old folks home. I think last week he even tried to choke his nurse. Maybe we can get him to choke Al Davis. |
