Gasp! Today was Mr. Mans last day on Wake Up! :(

Talk about an end of an era! I have been listening to Kenny & Taylor for over a decade! I'm sad to hear of his departure, but I'm also excited to see what the future holds for Kenny & his cute little family.

I'd love to hear your thoughts about Kenny leaving and your favorite moments from the show. I've really loved making Kenny part of my morning for so many years. I never did get to participate in a Cosmo Con, but I've enjoyed one of Kenny's gigs in Chicago and have made some great friends through the website. Kenny had a huge part of that... so many awesome memories just because Kenny was being Kenny on the radio every day.

Good luck Mr. Mans... we will miss you, but you won't be far away.

PS. I literally searched for over 2 hours for pictures of our hang in Chicago... the photos have disappeared and I'm so sad.

Wake Up on E! News!

Have you seen Mr. Mans in Wedgerino yet? What are you waiting for?

Okay, so apparently Patrick and Stassi are still on, but....

1. Wake up with Taylor has a new website! www.wakeupwithtay.com

2. Make sure you visit the website for recaps, Kenny's shows and MUCH MORE!

3. Who is still watching VanderPump Rules? I'm pretty sure I vowed to stop watching a season or two ago, yet I can't stop. :) Jax has just gotten sooooo much less hot over the years. James - blech. And Lala may look pretty in the night, but have you seen her in the daytime? Both James and Lala look over-tanned. Tanning is not "in" anymore!

Night Pageant

If you haven't gotten your hands on Kenny's new comedy album, you're missing out! The album has spent time at the top of the comedy charts and as of right this second, it's at #3! Let's get it back up to #1!!

Most memorable moments of Wake up from the last 7-8 years...

I enlisted the help of other Effers to come up with a list of some of the most memorable moments of Wake Up over the years it has been on the air. It was a fun walk down memory lane! It was hard to count them down, so I am going to list them out in no particular order. We each value the memories for different reasons... so I cannot decide for us all the importance of the moments. However, I would have to agree with those who said their most memorable moment is finding this group of other Effers, Cosmo guys and girls, and many who have become friends for life. That is the priceless gift that Wake Up has given many of us.

Here is a list of the other memorable moments, again, in no particular order:

• Tay Tay Tunes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuHYNc7c0Qg&list=UUeR8FiiUN7GzNhzCa91zM2Q&index=2

• Victoria Gets Dirty – Victoria Keelan, once part of the morning crew, had a segment called "Victoria Gets Dirty" because of her privileged upbringing with her mom, Fancy Nancy. Victoria did things such as cleaning a bathroom stall, Serra de Bunda dance, walking barefoot on the streets of New York and changing a baby's diaper.

• Who Knows You Better

• Kenny's Question Corner

• Kenny's "Guys Just Don't Understand" and "Walk in Her Shoes": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kM53Mq1xGHU

• Taylor and Kenny's engagement stories... along with Almost Hitched Bitch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLI-InyT5Js 

• Interviewing Elmo & Cookie Monster... and the Golden Clutch: https://s3.amazonaws.com/WakeUpWithTaylor/Muppets.mp3

• Fat Kid Fridays: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHb1n0DMQZ4
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pEIg4iWEDc

• Tay's Bachelorette Party

• When Taylor, Victoria and Kenny dressed up as each other for Halloween.

• Who is Virginia?

• Victoria's Broken Wing

• When Brett had to go to the ER because of his appendix and Taylor stayed in bed thinking that it wasn't very serious. She came to find out later that his appendix had ruptured!

• All of Kenny's songs… http://www.reverbnation.com/play_now/song_1793908

• Kenny's Mom

• Kenny living in the whore house

• Taylors fat knees, nodules in her throat and hairy nipples

• Taylor finding Mr. P (aka Brett): When Taylor met Brett, she was also dating Mr. Last Minute. She had learned these names in a dating class she had taken. Mr. Last Minute literally never planned anything until the last minute. Mr. P stands for Mr. Perfect, which he isn’t perfect, but he’s perfect for her. And for a long time, she didn’t want to say his real name on-air.

• TOKYO! Taylor's safe word and how she reacted listening to sex talk

• The start of Yasu- They didn't know if he was real or not.

• Racing with the pregnancy bellies

• Checking Facenook, Checking Facenook... They used the word "face nook" instead of the brand name Facebook when a woman called and told them that is what her 5 year old called it.

• Kenny's airplane rap: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbA3K_yJxNA

• Guys vs. Girls trivia

• Pink Dolphins... they really do exist! Victoria saw a picture of a lady's butt out of water and thought it was a pink dolphin. It went on into a conversation about how pink dolphins do exist.

• Club Soda Kenny: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1NTrG-QNY4
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCoXgrO4VGE

• Using the word "bethos": http://tlhorgan.blogspot.com/2009/11/bethos-whats-that.html

• "Radio High Fives" (Mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm) and "Golden Shower" sound bytes

• Kenny's ghost in his apartment

• Kenny acting like Taylor as a phone sex operator

• Kenny's 423222

• You bought afterbirth at Duane Reade?

Pics of Tay, Kenny & Steph...

I must say that nowadays, it is MUCH easier to come across pictures of our favorite morning show crew than it was WAY back in the day when I started listening to the show. I mean, isn't that one of the first things we do when we hear someone we don't know on the radio... gotta find a picture of them! Although I know them SO much better now, I thought it would be fun to do a search for Taylor... which inevitably also brought up some pics of Kenny and Steph too. :)

End of an era...

Today Cosmo Radio will go off the air forever. Taylor, Steph and Kenny will move to Stars 106 on Monday, in the same time slot they were in on Cosmo. Patrick and Sean will move to do sports on channel 92 starting on Monday, competing with Wake Up's time slot from 7-11am (EST). Dr. Jenn will be moving all of her f-bombs over to Oprah radio.

So what channel will you be on at 7:00 Monday Morning?

I've had very mixed emotions about the news that Cosmo Radio is no more. Wake Up is going to thrive  on Stars. They can be less inhibited without the Cosmo brand. I think Kenny is really going to be able to step up and be who he really is. We love him as we've gotten to know him, but now he can really do his thang! :)

And then there is Patrick. I have been listening to both Wake Up and Cocks with P since almost day 1, I have heard Patrick through many years of shit. Way back in the day, I absolutely loved him and the show. He was compassionate and solved the world's problems. I still see that in him, but along the way he picked up some ego and I can't say I like it. He and I have had words regarding him bashing the Cosmo Radio Recap (now Cosmo Happy Hour). I think he just really likes to stir the pot. I have lots of opinions, but I'll keep most to myself.

Regardless, I still love my Cosmo family that has been built over the past 7 years. I have yet to meet any of them in person, as I haven't made it to a Cosmo Con yet. Hopefully that will change next year!

I do have to THANK YOU for visiting this blog! Nearly 275,000 visits to this blog... which I haven't been good at updating at all in quite some time. I hope to change that and post more!

Love you all.... Kelly

BTW... why does this picture come up when I Google "Kenny Zimlinghaus"??

Happy Birthday to Stephanie Ramos!!

Not only did she get serenaded by Austin Renfroe, himself... in person, she also shares the day with this year's Cyber Monday. How could it get better? :) Steph did her best to try to dig up some great CyMon deals... she found Build-a-Bear for $8, some great deals at Home Depot, and deals at Sears!

Austin is swinging some VIP access for the FKCST at his gig tonight in NYC. They are taping some things for MTV & OurStage tonight for a VIP only show. Hopefully we'll get some scoopala during tomorrow's show! Steph, we want to hear all about your birthday night and wearing garbage bags to sleep on Tay's couch.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GOYA BEAN!

The Adventures of Larry and Carl - Independent Film

For those of you who listen to Cosmo Radio (SiriusXM 109), you may be familiar with the Producer of this independent film, Kenny Zimlinghaus (@kennyzimlinghau, www.kennyzimlinghaus.com).

What is so fabulous about this film is their determination to keep this film independent and raise the funds on their own. Please visit the website for the film to view the synopsis of the movie, as well as helping to contribute to their movie fund! http://www.larryandcarl.com/

Kenny's Organic Farm

Kenny is so busy entertaining us, maybe we should plan out Kenny's farm for him. 

There is a lot we should consider:

1. We need to find a farm listing of what he should buy. (Maybe we all contribute to buy for him and he owes us organic veggies for life)

2. We need to decide if/what animals he has (besides Steve, of course).

3. We need to plot out the land for what he will grow and where.

4. What vegetables will he grow?

5. Who is going to help him make sure he is organic?

6. What will the Cosmo Farm Bar look like... where he invites all the Fun Kids to drink mixed drinks made from his organic goodness... is he going to make organic alcohol too?

7. What will his farm house look like... outside, inside (he might need our womanly touch).

8. He needs a farm wardrobe... what will he wear?

9. He's gonna need a tractor... we need to find the coolest tractor out there.

10. Since he's gonna need to accommodate a lot of Little FFFers, what other amenities will he need on the farm? 

Let's put together his farm in the comments below! :)

Not trying to be a replacement... I swear!

Someone might think I am trying to be a replacement to the WakeUpCatchUp.com website or to Cocks With P's Twitter... that has never been the case. I completely encourage you to stay close to the shows, and their official sites. My site is for the Fake Life Fam to bond over, or that is at least my goal. Especially since Wake Up started their new BEAUTIFUL site, created by Chris Campbell, I chose to bring the cosmoradiorecap.com website back not as a recap site, but as a general site involving the listeners and the station's shows.

If you're anything like me... I need multiple regular websites to go to each day or I don't know what to do with myself. As a fellow Cosmo Radio listener... I visit wakeupcatchup.com, Wake Up's NEW Facebook page... and, of course, make sure to check in with @cockswithp on Twitter. I DON'T want to replace any of that! I just hope to be another stop along the way and hope to bring you something different and a way to connect with others in the Fake Life Fam. There are new listeners all the time, so this is a place where we can regroup and know where the others are going to find all the Cosmo Radio goodies.

Please... go to WakeUpCatchUp.com and twitter.com/cockswithp EVERYDAY... but consider stopping by cosmohappyhour.com too. I'd love to have you!

Your fellow FFFer,

Kelly
