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.

Tim McGraw found the perfect way to quietly honor his father Tug.  When he reached the mound to throw out the first pitch in Game 3 of the World Series, he sprinkled some of his father's ashes.  Tug delivered the final pitch of the 1980 World Series, striking out Willie Wilson for the only Phillies World Series win.

Lorrie Morgan has filed bankruptcy.  Her liabilities are listed between 1 and 10 million bucks.  She filed Chapter 11 in 1992 but withdrew the petition after paying off all her debts.

Congrats to Craig Morgan who became an official member of the Grand Ole Opry Saturday.

Sad news for American Idol contestant and Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson.  Her mother and brother were killed Friday and her 7 year old nephew is missing.  She's offering a $100,000 reward for his safe return.  Jennifer had to identify both bodies after the muder.  Police are questioning her brother-in-law but no charges have been filed.

Congrats to Amy Poehler who gave birth to a baby boy.  She named him Archie.

Only a few days left to get ready for the ghosts and goblins knocking on your door.  The type of candy you hand out reveals your personality.  Those who give....loose change are procrastinators.  The fact they answer th door instead of pretending not to be there is a sign of interest in people.  If you hand out candy corn, orange colored marshmallow, puff peanuts, etc...you prefer spending money on yourself, not on someone you will never see again.  If you have M&M's/Snickers/Milky Way...You're Cool and prefere quality over quantity.  Skittles/Reese's Pieces - You know what's hot and what's not.  Other Brand name candy - You bought a candy you happen to enjoy rather than a candy that's popular.
