Homegrown Recap: January 20, 2022 – Nat’l DJ Day, Carly’s Diet & If Calories Didn’t Count

 

  • CARLY PEARCE says if calories didn’t count, she’d be eating a lot of pizza, Mexican food and ice cream. Carly’s really strict about her normal diet: boiled chicken, steamed broccoli, fruit, nuts and no processed foods. Ugh! We envy people who don’t find joy in eating. Honestly, if calories didn’t count, we’d be eating a lot of EVERYTHING!

  • Today is NATIONAL DISC JOCKEY DAY, when you’re supposed to take time to pause and appreciate US.  You’re welcome, America.  It’s connected to one of the original disc jockeys, ALAN FREED, who passed away 57 years ago today.  He helped popularize the term “rock and roll” in the 1950s.  And he was one of the first people inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986.Here are a few more quick facts and stats for National DJ Day . . .
    1. Most of us don’t just wing it.  A recent poll found 95% of radio DJs spend at least an hour prepping for each show.  Close to a third said three hours or more.
    2. It’s one of the SEXIEST jobs in the world, and that’s not a joke.  According to Tinder, “radio personality” is one of the most “right-swiped” jobs you can have.  And if we’re single, you’ve got a shot . . . 39% have dated a listener before.
    3. When DJs were asked WHY they do what they do, the #1 answer was, “It’s fun.”  “Entertaining people” was next, followed by “it’s emotionally fulfilling.”

    That said, half also agreed with the statement, “It’s the ONLY thing I know how to do, or it’s what I do best.”

 

  • DOLLY PARTON’s new book with James Patterson is called Run, Rose, Run and, as I’ve mentioned before, it comes out March 7. The cover art for the book was just released and it shows a woman in cowboy boots with a guitar hanging off her back standing in a field facing a large city off in the distance. … The book is described as “a thriller about a young singer-songwriter on the rise and on the run, and determined to do whatever it takes to survive.”… The book ties in with Dolly’s upcoming album Run, Rose, Run, which comes out March 4.
  • Yesterday was Dolly’s birthday. Here she is in her rockin’ “birthday suit”

  • For some reason the air conditioning was turned on in the studio this morning and Nikki was cold. Brent says this is a snuggie. Nikki insists its a Pashmina. What do you think? May be an image of 1 person
