The wacky radio Morning Zoo is almost a cliche in comedy. It equals ultra-unfunny.

If you're promoting a book or something you have to go on these moronic, outdated, Morning Zoo shows and pretend to laugh at the idiotic things they say.

For the most part you dread it. Because your cliche wacky Morning Zoo radio team will:

 

1) Talk at you not to you. 

2) Scream asinine shit over whatever you say. 

3) Try to make sure they are funnier than you are. (After all, they wouldn't have their own wacky Morning Zoo if they weren't funny.) 

4) Firmly believe the comedy theory:  loud = funny. 

5) Always crack themselves up with their own jokes and moronic characters  devoid of how the rest of the world would react . (Probably high-fiving while doing such.) 

 

There's also a lot of trying waaaaay too hard. Most likely all this will be done with the assistance of "wacky" bells, whistles, and sound effects. Freedom Haters experienced all of the above this week when I  got booked on "The Giant Show" on WKLS 96.1 in Atlanta........

Pokerstars' Euro Poker Tour in Monte Carlo was chocka-blocka full of celebs playing Texas Hold `Em for big bucks at the the Monte Carlo Bay Hotel and Resort. Music stars were especially in the mix. Yes, music is a big part of a poker tourney such as this. Such rappers as Nelly, The Dream, Christina Milian and indie rockers Joel Madden from Good Charlotte were there showing off their poker-chops.

Besides real, actual, music stars, what do professional poker players listen to on their iPods in order to psych themselves up to take home the big pot and amass big, colorful chips in front of them?
