The radio segment that Jonathan (aka “Mr. Looney Tunes”) did for KVNU for the People today on our conversations with The White House went so well and was so successful that Jonathan and I have been invited to have a regular spot on the show!
I love KVNU. It was grand talking on a show with people I consider my friends.
Also?
I really loved working with my husband. It is going to be really fun doing these shows with him.
“Married with Microphones” will be Jonathan and I talking about a wide variety of topics. It won’t just be political, we can and WILL talk about everything. We have a pretty quick banter and frankly…we can be damn funny, we’re polar opposites and we pretty much disagree on everything.
PERFECT.
So now instead of being approached and recognized as I am sitting in a movie theater waiting for Harry Potter to start by a reader who loves my blog (HELLO, KATE! I bet you thought I was never going to mention you, huh?!) we can be known as “That couple on radio that argues all the time”.
Hee.
And SO MUCH OF THIS IS THANKS TO THE FACT THAT I HAVE THE BEST FREAKING READERS ON THE PLANET. The chat room was PACKED full. Lots of people tuned in. That? Was and is very, very important. ESPECIALLY with the short notice and lack of advertising. It was cool that so many were so freaking kind enough to listen and TALK and COMMENT and TWEET! (Holy shiz the live tweeting about it made me tear up when I read all of them. Very sweet and cool.)
That chat room during the show was so fun. I loved talking to everyone. I admit that I showed off and talked about each of you a lot.
I was like a totally proud mama showing off her chickies!
Also, it was cool that people could actually SEE AND HEAR me AND my husband so people know I wasn’t making him up. (Yes, Virgina. There is a Mr. Looney Tunes.)
I am so damn excited. I had the best time. I could do that all day long. Jonathan has been appearing on the radio for 13+ years. I haven’t done it nearly as long or often but I love radio as a medium and am excited that blogging led to this opportunity. Who knew that blogging about your girlie bits in your pajamas could lead to so many cool things?
IF YOU MISSED OUR INTERVIEW, CLICK HERE. THE PODCAST SHOULD BE AVAILABLE BY MORNING. It’s the session for Thursday, August 6th.
I love you all.
For reals.

That will be a do not miss for sure! Congrats. Do you know when it starts?
Way cool! And by the way, great picture!!
Chief-I’m not sure when the podcast will upload, they just said it would be by the morning!
Stacey-thanks! I am fond of it. I love how tall my husband is. He is totally strong and makes me feel ITTY BITTY, which is difficult when you are as huge as I am.
Holy shit man! That’s awesome. Congrats.
YAY!!! I knew you could prove to that man that good things come from blogging! HELLO? I came from blogging!
Yay! Today a guest spot…Tomorrow the whole damn station!
Whoot! Good for you Loralee, what an exciting opportunity!!
You GO, girl. Logan, Utah will never be the same again. :-)
Can I just say, as I have been following your blog for a little over a year now, you are freakin’ HOT! I’m saying this in the non-lesbian sort of way….I think.
Just had to get that out of my system, I’ve been thinking it since we got back in contact and I’ve been meaning to tell you…
And, I listened earlier, it was awesome…congratulations.
Mmmmm men with beards. My hubby rocks the beard too.
The little chickies are just as proud of the clucking mama hen.
I read your original post, made a mental note to watch, and then misfiled it. The tweets brought me over to watch the show. What a lot of fun!
And we love you, Loralee. For reals.
Well….. I still don’t think Jon is real, and I’ve met him and everything! (Actually, I’m struggling with accepting that you’re real! No real person has the trials that you’ve had and doesn’t jump off a building wearing a tutu and carrying a basketfull of homemade grenades to share with the world!) You low voiced people will be great on the radio, though!
So cool!
(And he is quite the hunk. What a handsome couple you 2 are!)
So awesome for you guys!! Can’t wait to listen!
That’s soooooo cool! Can’t wait to listen to the podcast!
Do they have a studio audience that I could sit in?
I clicked over when I saw VDog tweet it out. I thought, wow… that chick has an awesome voice! And your demeanor was so perfect. You seemed totally in the zone.
Congratulations!
That was so freaking cool. Please let us know when you’ll be on again!
I went to the fair instead of listening in to you. /gulp I will go and listen to the podcast. I promise. Al was here too!
BTW… If Jon can’t make it sometime I can always fill in for him. I guess it depends on the time. HAHAHA. Also depends on the topic.
Oh, and I wonder if the Kate you met was the Kate I also know. I found out she had been secretly reading my blog… Hmmmm. I have a picture of her. I’ll shoot it to your inbox.
I’d wish it was called, “The Pee and Jon Radio Show”.
Loralee- Aww! And congratulations!
Bridge- Yes, it is me. :)
This is AWESOME news. You guys totally deserve it. And not only that, but I think you will make the world better by doing it. I’m sorry I was so busy I missed this when you posted it on Friday!
Awww, yay. I’m thrilled for you! :D
Oh that is AWESOME!!!! I listened as much as I could, 3 kids running around being crazy and trying to get dinner on the table…you know the drill.
I am so excited to have a local celebrity here :):):)
SQUEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
A very belated congratulations on this opportunity!
Hey Loralee,
I just finished listening to the show. I am just sorry that I couldn’t have been there. Nice job behind the mike! I hope to hear from you on the show again…
