It's on.  On May 22nd, results of a New Jersey state-wide survey will be revealed announcing New Jersey's Best Beach.

So, what's your favorite beach in Jersey?  Do you love Cape May's victorian homes and promenade?  Would you rather be near the Windrift in Avalon, taking in the shops at Stone Harbour or para-sailing in LBI?  Perhaps, you have great family memories of summers in Ocean City, or great stories from your party years at the O.D. in Sea Isle.  No matter, we're doing our own poll - What beaches are the favorites for Ben FM listeners?

Let me know what you think and we'll give you the results on the Morning of May 22nd!  Email me with the beach you've chosen and why, and keep it clean, we'll be sharing it with the rest of the class.

Thanks to Comedy Central, I got to do one of the coolest things ever last night (4/16/08).  As you know, the Colbert Report has been filming in Philly all week featuring famous Philadelphians.  The kick off Monday featured Chris Matthews and John Legend, Tuesday was the Roots, and last night's show featured Eagles Cheerleaders along with Ed Rendell and Stephen's visit to the Constitution Center leading up to the Clinton/Obama debate - hilarious.  Every evening, Ben Franklin himself has appeared on stage with Stephen as well, eating Doritoes and adding the Philly flavor.  I was lucky enough to get a seat for the taping of last night's show, so if you here an extra loud - "whoo-hoo" you'll know it was mine!

On the Ben FM Morning Show Great Debate of '08, our mission was to present our favorite celebrity from Philly, otherwise known as a Philabrity.  We also had to choose the greatest Philadelphia Sports Moment which was clearly the 1980 World Series...(my choice) and not (Dave's choice) the Phanatic knocking over the Weenie Cart at his first Phillies game.

First let's talk Philabrity - Even though Will Smith was on my list, I chose Kevin Bacon for the following reasons:

He's a Triple Threat - Actor, Dancer (who didn't do the footloose dance in the 80's?) and a Musician.

Kevin, who's won a Golden Globe and SAG award has acted in more than 55 movies, including classics like Diner, Footloose, Apollo 13 with Tom Hanks, A Few Good Men with JACK, and JFK!

He's got an amazing (and hot) wife, Kyra Sedgewick and...

Not afraid to poke a little fun at himself via the Will and Grace episode were Jack is stalking him, but Will gets to do the Footloose dance with Kevin...classic episode.

Top that John Oate's mustache!

Our Woman of the Week this past Wednesday is the Owner of Weenie World in New Hope, PA.  To celebrate their grand opening on April Fool's Day next month, Annette came by and brought lots of weenies.  You can get details on the Grand Opening by clicking on the Woman of the Week button on the Morning Show page...but here's Dave and I loving the weenie!  Turns out Jason loves them even more than we do, because he was able to chow down way more than Dave in our Weenie eatin contest!  Well, who doesn't love a good dog?

It's Dave's latest obsession...and don't try this at home kids!  At least he's not running with scissors. 

Well,

Dave, Jason and myself were insanely excited about the Super Pet Expo Baby Tigers coming to visit and the anticipation didn't exceed the actual event!  THEY WERE AND ARE ADORABLE!  You can see them for yourself at this weekend's Super Pet Expo at the Valley Forge Convention Center, but here's a new photo I took this morning.  Thanks to all the BEN FM Morning Show Listeners who played along with our Super Pet Expo Baby Tiger Blitz (and to Jason for putting it together).

Keep in Faux FUR ONLY!

We've got video of the Broadcast Brawl.

Here is this mornings coverage of the Broadcast Brawl by NBC10.

Here's the Top 5 movies I want Dave to watch to get psyched and energized for the 19th.  Although I adore Vai, I am on Team Cruise...loyal to the team and want him to win!!!

5.  Raging Bull

4.  The Boxer

3.  Cinderella Man

2.  Rocky (I still think the first one is the best!)

But the number 1 movie that I think will inspire Dave in his quest...GLADIATOR.
