The Diva's Dish

Did Katy Perry stick her foot in her mouth, WTH is Krypto Currency, dishing concerts, and what are your top EMojis and what do they say abut your current status?

Welcome back to the most Diva Dude that I know ... Diesel to the DDPC. The show originally was 1:15 minutes long, but since we are afraid of our mamas washing our mouths out with soap... we opted for a cleaner version, that would still keep us both employed. We are unpacking the new "McDonald's Diet" a Myrtle Beach trash can that escaped to Ireland and will we be looking at a "Matthews/Feeny" ticket soon in California?

Imagine if you will... two Divas in one broadcast studio, unpacking "Dates for Content", kid versions of songs that should have never happened... our upcoming frequency switch, and discussing how well Emo songs blend into Coolio.

The Divas are unpacking a lot on today's show, just 48 hours and counting to Elyse's Five-day cruise.  We jump straight in and talk about dating reviews, rules, and resentment when you put your boyfriend of three months on a 90-day probation. For those doing the math, that is equal to the time that you have been dating and you come to the table with a list of demands.  We also discuss a weird proposition that Sherí received on the way to the restaurant to meet her date. Talk about shooting your shot and ending up forever as part of the Divas Dish Podcast Lexicon.  We finally found a product review we turned down, because... well some things even we have the ability to say no to! Also, the latest trend in makeup involves Sunny Days, Tickle Me Elmo Red Lip Gloss, and Abby Cadaddy Eyelashes.  We announce that two of our favorite guest Divas will be back to fill in for Elyse next week, while she tests the limits of the "All Inclusive drink package" in the Caribbean  Buckle up buttercup this is the podcast you've been waiting for!

The Divas take on a cat thief, Bible stories, and the name Chris. It's hard to imagine but once there was a quiet moment for Sherí as at the mere age of seven, she sat stunned in silence during Sunday School over the Biblical story about Jonah and the Whale. After that shock wore off, came the time she viewed the film Pinnochio, where his Father was swallowed by a whale while looking for the wooden boy. Imagine her surprise when that very thing happened to a lobster diver off of Cape Cod. We also talk about an actual "cat burglar" and the four-legged hoodlums living in our own houses.

If you have spent any time listening in to my show or podcast over the past six years you know that I reference my cardboard cutout of Harry Connick Jr as "my perfect co-host" I have shared many pictures of me with the cutout of HCJ as well as in-studio guest love snapping selfies with Harry. The aforementioned cutout is also part of numerous pranks.Over the years he has shown up unexpectedly in a coworker's office or in a bathroom stall to surprise coworkers who were not expecting to see those piercing blue eyes staring them down. We even dress him like"Ol Santa Claus" or "The Happy Elf" at Christmas time.I was overjoyed when I was approached about interviewing him about his new single "Stars Still Shine". I shot a text to my Brand Manager Supa Dave Jackson, that I was going to move Harry to my home studio for the time being. However, when I went to bring Harry home, he was MIA, either he was taken, hidden, or pulled a Flat Stanley on me. I am counting out the "Flat Stanley" angle because I have yet to receive one letter from him. I did receive something better, I got an interview with The Harry Connick Jr. He came onto The Diva's Dish to talk about a song he wrote and performed and which was the finale on the recent CBS two-hour special he hosted "Stars Still Shine" "United We Sing: A Grammy Tribute To The Unsung Heroes". All proceeds from will benefit the Ellis Marsalis Center for Music in New Orleans. The center“Stars Still Shine” was co-founded by Harry Connick, Jr. and Branford Marsalis.

I had a great time talking about setting goals and intentions with none other than Coach Sonia Zarbatany. She gives us insight on how to make it through the quarantine with setting our own goals and plans in motion as well as taking care of what we need to do for our families and ourselves.  We talk about looking inward for the answers of how to juggle the many objects our current life is throwing at us. It was truly a blessing to hear her positive message about finding what works right for your own life.
