Today Wake Up with Taylor became no more... 😔

The whole WUWT community was shocked when they either heard Seth Speaks in place of Taylor or saw the news on social media... Wake Up with Taylor has been taken off of SiriusXM. Most are speculating that it was a sudden development and as of last week Friday, they did plan to continue as usual this week. On her Instagram, Tay promised that she will explain when she can.

I have been listening to Wake Up for over 11 years! I haven't listened much in recent years, but I try to keep up on what Taylor and Kenny are up to. I was lucky to have connected with many other WUWT fans and we will continue to be friends and connected despite Wake Up leaving.

What will be next for Taylor? We shall see. I know I will be watching and waiting to hear what she'll be doing.

Wake Up on E! News!

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!!

Buy it here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/night-pageant/id987630759?ign-mpt=uo%3D2

Congrats Kenny!! Yay Boy Yay!

Real Wedding: Taylor & Brett

Charlie Bit Me!

Remember Taylor's fascination with the Charlie Bit Me video? I played it so much myself that my kids started talking in the same accent and acting out the video.


Here is the trailer for the Charlie Bit Me movie. So funny!

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

Have you ever heard of Offal?

I had never heard of Offal until Taylor was talking about going to a party with offal during her break. It is basically eating the parts of an animal that typically aren't eaten... brains, marrow, lungs, etc. Taylor said that the pig was displayed with head cut open and the cook brains placed back inside the skull. (If that isn't appetizing, I don't know what is!)

So I did a little reading about offal, and there is a lot of information out there about it. Including pictures.

I thought this was a good web site with a good definition - gotta love the picture on the home page. LOL

Have you been to an offal party? Would you ever try it? I don't think I could bring myself to do it without some sort of reward... like Fear Factor.

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!

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

Welcome to the Grand Re-Opening!

I am your host, Kelly, and I want to welcome you back to the NEW Cosmo Happy Hour. Prior to the new name, we were Cosmo Radio Recap. After a hiatus, I've come back with new vigor to create a place where our Fake Life Fam can go before, during and after our favorite shows on SiriusXM 109 - Cosmo Radio.

For those of you who are new to this site, or are unfamiliar with me... I'll introduce myself. I have been listening to Cosmo Radio for 5-6 years, slightly less than the channel has been around. I started the Cosmo Radio Recap a couple years ago (I think?) when I realized that there are a lot of listeners that are only able to listen to the shows during their commute. They ended up missing a lot of the goodness during the rest of the shows.

I quickly got to know a lot of other regular listeners, back when our "fake life family" was just in its infancy. I've been through the "afternoon head bangers club" with many of you, which was the Twitter group that would talk ish during Cosmolicious because of poor grammar, boring topics and severe misuse of common sayings. Eventually victory was ours, and Diana Falzone was no more! She really didn't represent Fun, Fearless Females very well... we are all MUCH smarter than that.

It got to the point where I needed a way to stream the shows while I was working, so I talked my husband into letting me get an iPhone. To this day, that is the only place where I get my Cosmo Radio fix. I love streaming through my phone. But I can never change my plan... I got in while AT&T had an unlimited plan for data! I think I use 7-8 GB per month!

Over time, my recaps became less and less and I just got too busy with my full time job to keep up. Some Twitter/Cosmo Radio friends helped contribute to the recap, but that also became more than each of us could do with full time work.

Along came Michelle, who has had all of the Cosmo Radio Recap accounts in her possession for several months. Recently I requested to get the accounts back from her because I had a little more time and I had new ideas for the site. Fortunately, it was perfect timing because she is now too busy at work.

And here we are... Back at it - in a whole new way... motivated by CosmoCon to reconnect with all of my old friends and make new ones, my love for the station and its shows, and also my love of blogging and keeping up with all of you.

I welcome anyone's posts... just send your note to me at cosmoradiorecap@gmail.com! Whether you want to recap a day's shows, write about your CosmoCon experience, write about your friendship with other FFFers, talk about something that inspired you, share your fashion/pop culture/etc information, or whatever... Send it to me!! While the site is still under construction, I plan to have a page that is only posts from YOU!

Be sure to follow me on Twitter @cosmohappyhour.

At some point www.cosmohappyhour.com will get you here, but I'm having trouble with it right now. You can get here with www.cosmoradiorecap.com or www.cosmoradio.blogspot.com for now.

I am going to try to make this site as interactive as possible, but I also hope to see ya'll on Twitter and Facebook! (Facebook is my next thing to get back up and running. I need more "Likes" so I can get a nice URL --- stop by and Like CHH!: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Cosmo-Happy-Hour/116155455160612

Love you all and so glad to be back!!

Kelly
