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.

Blake Shelton is one of the SEXIEST MEN ALIVE!  At least according to People magazine.  The annual list is out Friday.  Tim McGraw and Brad Paisley also made the list from the country music world.  So who's at the top.......


That honor goes to Hugh Jackson, lead actor in the new movie Australia.  Keith Urban's wife Nicole Kidman is also in the film.

 


Clint Black isn't happy with his accounts manager.  He's suing his rep, Charles Sussman, accusing him of financial mismanagement.  No word on how much Sussman allegedly stole from Black over the years or how much Clint is suing for.

 


Taylor Swift is smoking.  Her 2nd album not only topped the country charts for the most CD's sold, but the overall genre chart as well.  Fearless sold 590 thousand copies beating out American Idol runner up David Archuleta by several hundred thousand.


The Fur is flying over Gwyneth Paltrow's new ad.  She's had to apologized to PETA for wearing a fox fur the ad campaign.

 



Wynona Ryder is recovering after becoming ill on a flight to London.  An ambulance met the plane and took Ryder to the hospital.  She was treated and released and hour later, hopefully after not stealing anything.  No word on what caused the illness.





New Movies this weekend....
The highly anticipated vampire movie TWILIGHT and the animated film with Miley Cyrus BOLT.  Movie listings
