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.

Kenny Chesney continues to break records.  His Boston show sold out in less than 10 minutes, beating last year by 4 minutes.  It's the 5th time he's sold out Gillette Stadium.  He also had the #6 top selling tour this past year.  His Poets & Pirates trek brought in 86 million bucks.  The only other country act on the list is Rascal Flatts at #10

 

Tim McGraw has had quite a year.  In addition to his music doing well, he's written a book called "My Little Girl," he's been in another movie with Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn called "4 Christmases," and his cologne "MCGRAW" is the #1 selling mens fragrance.  And LADIES, it smells FANTASTIC!!!  Great Christmas present idea.

The murders of Jennifer Hudson's family may have been triggered by a birthday present.  People Magazine says the man charged for the shooting deaths, may have done on his alleged killing rampage after his estranged wife, Hudson's sister Julia, received a birthday gift from another man.


American Idol is making some changes for the new season.  The 4 weeks of best & worst audtions will now air for 3.  Hollywood week will now give 36 contestants a shot rather than 24 and the wild card round will also be back.  Idol kicks off January 13th

Miley Cyrus got her learners permit last week and then got her first car from her mom - a Porche.  Mom got a new one, so it was a hand me down Porche

 


Party Girl, Tara Reid has checked into Rehab.  Her friend says she checked in on her own but there's no word what's she's getting help for....drugs, alcohol or both.

 

The most dreaded holiday gift is a necktie, right ahead of flowers and candles.  The most desired gifts are
1. Gift cards
2. Electronics - MEN want HD TV's or BlueRay DVD players.  WOMEN want digital or video camera or a laptop computer
3. Clothes
4. Games - Wii, Playstation
                                                       5. Apple iPhone, Blackberry
