AUSTIN MUSIC AWARDS:
We got a visit today from the wonderful Margaret Mosier who has run the Austin Music Awards for most of its existence. The big news with the Awards this year is that they’re moving from the traditional Wednesday of SXSW to Saturday, so instead of kicking off the music festival, they’re providing the end. Everybody likes dessert better than appetizers, right? There are gonna be a bunch of really cool musical acts throughout the night, including the Grammy-nominated Sarah Jarosz, Stu Cook from Creedence, and it’s all going to be closed out by Black Joe Lewis and a cast of stars. Not too bad. Guess who else is gonna be at the Austin Music Awards. Every part of the MorningX crew, especially Deb. What does that mean? Well, I guess we just have to wait a week to find out. . . Andy Langer, great friend of the program, will be hosting, hopefully without duct tape on his tux this year (two years ago his tux didn’t fit and he tried to fix it with staples, safety-pins, and duct-tape). Deb may wear only duct tape, and Jason will be rocking his “new look” at the show, God help us. And since Deb’s boyfriend won’t be in town, can Jason be her arm-candy this year? He’s more like arm meat. Arm bourbon. You can purchase tickets to the event at Waterloo Records, and the proceeds even go to charity. At the Austin Music Hall

INAPPROPRIATE COMPANY VEHICLE USE:
We found out this morning that Jason may have used a 101X vehicle back in the day to help him move, and that made us wonder – what’s the most inappropriate use of a company vehicle out there? We knew Jason had worse stories than just moving. Turns out we were right. There was a time when 101X was young, Jason was working promotions, and he may have gotten frisky in a company vehicle. He was very quick to say that he did not have sex in the back of the 101X van. But it was close. He was working an event and a drunken woman came and banged on the window and asked for a 101X t-shirt in exchange for a lapdance. He said he only had the one on his body, but she said that was fine. They proceeded to get a little frisky in the back as – get this – another female, Wendy, who was working the event with Jason, was in the driver’s seat. Then the girl asked Jason if he had any protection. He didn’t. Asked if Wendy did. She didn’t. Asked if Wendy could drive them home. She did. When he dropped her off the next day, he lied about his name. We got a call from Nick who said that he was working for a beer company downtown, and he was driving the company van on deliveries, then his girlfriend who went with him, and when they were done delivering, they had some special time. Deb congratulated him. Wait, Jason gets condemned and Nick got congratulated? Well, Nick didn’t trade a t-shirt for sex. Fair enough. Fair enough.
WHO’S MORE IRISH?:
One week from today we’re going to be at Fado Irish Pub for St. Patrick’s Day and to kick off SXSW, but there’s a little debate that’s been raging in the 101X studio for the past few weeks: who’s more Irish, Jason or Deb? Jason claims that he is because he’s a ginger, he once owned a pair of green pants, he was raised on Lucky Charms, and he’s a huge fan of the movie Rudy. Today he added the fact that he is a huge fan of House of Pain. He knows all the words to “Jump Around,” and if that’s not Irish, what is? Deb claims she’s the more Irish because she has what Jason called a “fake” Irish name (too bad her grandparents are actual Irish-English immigrants), and she worked at Fado in years past. She added to the mix today that she dated an Irishman for about a year – his name was Ciaran and everything. She even made him cabbage once. That’s totally Irish, right? Vote just to the right in the poll to see which loser has to wear the Leprechaun costume at Fado.
KNOW YOUR CO-HOST:
Jason and Deb work within 5 feet of each other for 4 hours every morning just talking so you would think they would know everything about one another. They have learned to tune each other out so we quiz them on each other to refresh their memories. Deb did not know that the only original member of Jason’s comedy band the Sucktones was the drummer, but she did know that he weighed more than ten pounds at birth (almost eleven), and that he had surgery to get glass removed from his foot when he was in high school. He even put off the surgery to go to a Limp Bizkit concert. Super cool, High School Jason. He did not know that her last Facebook status update was about getting a new tattoo, but he did know that she has a remote tonight at the Cedar Door (check that out), as well as the fact that her boyfriend is currently living in Scottsdale, Arizona. Look at them actually pay attention to each other for once. Awww…
THAT GUY:
Every week we shine the light on That Guy – the guy (or girl) who does something douchey and either doesn’t know it or doesn’t apologize for it. Today we talked about Giant-Keyring-Guy. You walk around with a huge ring of keys that go to who-knows-what, and it’s irritating and astounding everybody, probably including you. Jason and Deb work with a couple of These Guys. SI might be That Guy because she’s got a million keys that she can separate into different key rings if necessary so she can check the mail while her car is on or leave her keys in the trunk or whatever. Deb pointed out that there is sort of a double standard – if you’re a guy who has a million keys on your keyring, that’s sort of acceptable, but if you’re a girl with a million keys, that becomes unacceptable. But it’s more common with girls than guys because of purses. Girls can get away with it because they don’t have to stuff the whole mess of keys into their pockets. Brent called in to say that his wife is That Girl – she’s a schoolteacher, but she has keys on her key ring that she may have never even used. In fact she made it worse when she was down on South Congress and found some of those little rubber key-toppers that look like owl heads. That’s a whole additional level of That Guy. Kirk called in to say that he’s unfortunately That Guy. He was on a job site and found a keyring with a dozen master keys, and he’s always hoped that someday he’ll come across a lock that it goes to so that he can be the hero. He’s been turned around on the big key ring today, and he’s going to purge seven or eight of them after work today. Look at us make a difference.
BARK FOR LIFE:
There’s a really cool event going on this Saturday called Bark For Life. It’s a one-mile dog walk that benefits the American Cancer Society. If you register online, it’s $20, and if you do it on-site it’s $25. It’s at Fiesta Gardens Park on the East Side, and you can get more information if you check out barkforlife.com. How can you complain about loving dogs and killing cancer at the same time? Everybody wins.
I LOVE YOU CALL:
Everyday we call a random business and try to get the person answering the phone to say to Deb, “I love you.” Today we called Carlos Bakery, and they immediately put us on hold. We were subjected to some awesome commercials and muzak for several minutes. Eventually it just became too much and we had to call another business. We called ABA Real Barber Shop, and the guy who answered the phone, Alfredo the old-world Italian, was very jolly. He and Deb bonded about being foreigners and about the fact that they do cool straight-razor shaves. They don’t even charge if you want to come and watch. Deb asked him how to say “I love you,” in Italian. He told her, but then when she said it to him, he only said, “Grazie.” Does that count? No way. Oh, well. At least Alfredo was nice.
THE QUIZ:
Every day we “trivialize” Deb on a variety of topics, then make fun of her when she doesn’t know the answers. Today we did Corey Haim trivia, since we heard that he was found dead in his apartment this morning. How many seasons of The Two Coreys aired? Deb guessed one, but the answer is, unfortunately, two. Gross. In 1986 Haim starred in the movie Lucas with another addict, but would Deb know who that was? Absolutely not. It was Charlie Sheen, not Drew Barrymore, as she guessed. True or False that Haim appeared in Lost Boys: the Tribe? Deb said that it was true, and that was actually correct. He’s in the closing credits. Which is awesome…?
REWIND:
Every Tuesday we shine the spotlight on Deb O’Keefe. Deb is a hot British chick living in Austin, Texas. We don’t know what its like but we want to know. Deb doesn’t want to sound ungrateful because her boyfriend is home right now, but there is just something she can’t get over. Last night she realized that her beautiful man does something that she really, really, really hates. She can’t stand this one thing because it’s disgusting. As they were getting ready for bed, she was clean and just put a nice fragrant lotion all over her body. She couldn’t wait for him to get in bed as she watched him dry his hard body. She was licking her lips as his towel dropped by the sink as he began to brush his teeth. As he was almost done, he shoved his toothbrush so far down his throat that he gagged. His dad was a dentist, so this might be where this freakish cleanliness comes from, but at the end of every tooth brushing session comes, his body contorts and he completely disgusts Deb. She can hear him gag himself in the guest bathroom, and something about it drives her crazy! She loves him because he is the sexiest man she’s ever undressed with her eyes and paws, but this toothbrush thing has to go. Jason reminds her that at least this is his “one thing” and how she’s lucky he doesn’t have hundreds of problems, like himself.
SPORTS:
In the Big 12, Texas basketball is the 6th seed in our own tournament. They’re playing Iowa tonight.
The Longhorns had an open football practice yesterday. Can you think of anything more boring? The entire sports section of the newspaper was dedicated to the practice yesterday.
NEWS:
Breaking news: this morning, Corey Haim has been found dead in his California apartment, likely from an overdose. Was there someone who didn’t see this coming?
Robert Halderman, the would-be extortionist for David Letterman, who was caught, was tried and plead guilty yesterday. He’s getting six months inside and a thousand hours of community service. There would have been way more drastic consequences if he had been found guilty instead, so that was probably a good move on his part.
There are two different versions of a ballerina Barbie doll, and in Louisiana the Black Barbie was half the price of the White Barbie. Is that wrong? The Wal-Mart responsible is basically blaming its patrons for this turn of events, since they’re the ones who weren’t buying the African American version, so they had to mark it down.
