Matt & Polly Wogg in the Morning Minimize

Matt Herkimer

I'm the last of the original Frog squad having been here doing morning since 1988 (With the exception of the first year when I did the 3-7 shift). The reasons I've stayed so (too) long? I love the area, I love country music, I appreciate my beloved co-workers and no one else will hire me.

 My favorite movies are "Casablanca", "Citizen Kane" and anything with the Marx Brothers. Musically I'm all over the board but I do harbor a soft spot for late 80's-early 90's country as in Rosanne Cash, Dwight Yoakam, Mavericks, Kathy Mattea, Rodney Crowell and Mary Chapin Carpenter.

 In my spare time I like to golf, hit the antique stores ( I collect old magazines), work out at the gym, watch classic movies and eat ice cream. I also do a lot of bird-watching but it sounds like a geeky thing to do so I won't mention it.

 My goals include staying at the Frog til they drag me out kicking and screaming, see my daughter marry well and live to see (and utilize) the first effective hair-regrowth treatment. 


 My radio career began in Watertown NY at Froggy 97. From there it was a trip across country from a Froggy station in Ohio and another in Kentucky. I tried being normal at a station in Arizona but I've always been a frog at heart. I was born a loooong time ago in Gananoque Ontario Canada. I've called the US my home since 1995.

In my spare time I love to play golf, when it's not snowing or Texas Hold Em poker. I'm a reality freak. I TIVO everything from Idol to Big Brother.

As far as country music goes, I'm a junkie. I love Keith Urban and Sugarland and enjoy anything with a great message.

Susan Lucci has taken her last spin on the dance floor.  She was the latest to be booted from Dancing with the Stars.  The 5 remaining contestants take on 2 dances next Monday including a short solo.  It's on ABC at 8.



In theaters this weekend..."Soul Man" with the late Bernie Mac and Samual L Jackson.  You can also hear the voice of Bernie Mac in "Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa" with Chris Rock, David Schwimmer, Jada Pinkett-Smith and Ben Stiller

Taylor Swift is finally admitting to dating Joe Jonas...and no they aren't together anymore.  She actually bashes Jonas on her myspace page using dolls to demonstrate.  She also says writting songs is her way of dealing with it.  So her next CD may include a tune about the breakup?


So how does Faith Hill keep her slim figure?  Tim McGraw is dishing the secret....it's Pilates.  He says they work out in the gym together.  He says "he lifts weights while she does these slow stretches, and doesn't even break a sweat."  He thought it looked easy and would give it try.  Tim says after one pilates session he was sore for a week.

Today is National men make dinner day.  It's celebrated the first Thursday of every November.  For easy meal making ideas, guys can log onto www.menmakedinnerday.com
