Dave Smiley helps out Toni’s first video blog by giving you a backstage tour of the Z99.5 Studios.

As you may or may not know, in a few minutes (about 15 to be exact), Liz and I will be married for 3 years.  We got married July 29, 2006…it doesn’t seem like it’s been 3 years at all!  I mean, we didn’t move into our new house until April of 2007, which really made it seem official.  Anyways, if you’ve listened to the show at all in the past year and a half (why would you be reading this if you hadn’t lol), you’d know that we have been trying to have a baby for nearly a year now.  Despite two unsuccessful attempts, we are very hopeful. 

It’s funny all of the people that try to give you advice on things to do before, during, and after sex…do a headstand or hang upside down so that your legs are up over your head afterwards, do ONLY missionary position, do it on a heating pad, each of you do a shot of Orange Juice during, and my favorite…do it on a waterbed!  So after getting all of this USEFUL knowledge, I decided to do a little research to see if any of these are true…and here’s what I found:

Headstand/Hang Upside Down
Now, according to IVillage.com, “if you elevate your legs it helps due to gravity not fighting against you but I don’t think you have to hang upside down, that’s a little extreme.  She also says that it doesn’t help determine boy or girl as well.

Missionary Position
This is another one where there isn’t a significant amount of research stating that it’s true, BUT IVilliage says that the worst positions are when the guy is on bottom and any standing position

Doing a shot of OJ
Alot of articles said that you should drink lots of Vitamin C before attempting conception.  They say that you need to do it AT LEAST 8 hours prior!  Unless you do it in the morning…which is the best time to do it…but I don’t think Liz would want to get up when I do…hell, I don’t want to get up then!

Heating Pad
I stumbled across a ton of articles that stated that heat is BAD while conceiving…it’s never good!

Waterbed…lol
For some reason, this is the one I found most obsurd!  First, who even still owns a waterbed (besides Smiley lol)?  Second, what does having a rolling water mattress help?  I didn’t find ONE article proving or negating this advice, so who knows?!

I’ve come to the conclusion that while most of these wouldn’t hurt to try (Smiley, can we use your waterbed? lol), they most likely won’t help either.  Now, if you have any other helpful tips like the ones I received feel free to comment below and let me know!  And I’ll keep you posted on the progress of “BABY WATCH ‘09″.  I think this is our year!

No, it’s not another cat!  I’m not THAT crazy.  So after 2 years in this house, I’ve finally got a bar suitable to be on my Packers wall!  Thanks Dawn for passing this little gem my way!  Now, if only football season could be year round…

Was I the only man in indianapolis that watched the Bachlorette last night on RTV6? lol

I talked to Jillian yesterday on the moning show and asked her 5 questions that would help me “clue in” to who she picked before the finale!  You know, like “who is the best kisses” and “who is the strongest”.  anyway, she answered “ED” to 3 out of the 5 questions!  I called it!!

First I had to admit Wifey and I don’t want kids but my sister gave my parents their first grandchild over the weekend.  Yes, mom and son (whom I call Timmy…yes it’s a SouthPark thing) are doing well.  I realized while we were at the hospital something…I still don’t want one HOWEVER, I find myself texting my sister, her husband, my parents to see how TIMMY is doing.  Still don’t want one of my own but it’s made me realize something — I’M GONNA SPOIL THE SH*T OUT OF THAT KID!

I realize “The Allstate 400 @ The Brickyard” is this weekend — in the last 3 years (since I got here) it was HOT AS HELL!!  This year it’s gonna be perfect (except the chance of rain but that’s Paul Poteet’s fault.)  Is it really the end of July?  I remember having a few 90+ days in June but that wasn’t bad.  I heard we’re having an El Nino year but if it’s 75 in July does that mean my dream of 70 in Nov-Dec-Jan is just around the corner?  I’LL TAKE IT.

We’re excited about our new website! Check here for the inside scoop on giveaways, contests, events, and more!

Hi everyone, welcome to the new WZPL.com. hope you like the new layout of the site!  i’m not much of a writer or blogger but check out my video blog:

When I found out that I had to do a blog, I had no idea what I would say.  To be honest, I didn’t think I had much to say.  Being a producer on a morning show, my responsibilities are more behind the scenes.  I realized that I don’t have a medium to really express myself and this blog can be a good thing!  But that’s when the REAL stress kicked in.

First, I needed to pick a type of blog:  will it be informational (something like Perez Hilton or TMZ), maybe just some obscure thought of the day, something personal (like how many times my dogs like to pee and poo…it’s a lot, trust me!), or even a political blog (YEAH RIGHT!).  I decided that I wanted it to be informational but with a touch of my incoherent ramblings.  With that, I had thought that the stress would subside…but it got worse.

I, then, realized most blogs have a really eye-catching title!  Thus, I entered into the next dreaded decision…in which I titled “The Name Game”.  As I sit here writing this, the names keep coming, but they seem to be getting worse…The CHRONIC-LES of Chris, Chris’ Confessions, Confessions of a Bald Man, 99.5 reasons, Chris’ Criticisms, Weedman’s Wisdom,  Chris’ Conclusions, Holding Back, HASHing It Out, DOPE of the Week, A Producer’s Protest,  Producer Weedmans Pickle, Chris’ Can of Worms, Understanding the Weedman, Puzzled Producer, etc. 

I HAVE NO FRICKIN’ IDEA WHAT TO CALL THIS BLOG.

That’s where I need YOUR help!  Do you like one of the names I came up with?  Do you hate them all and have a name of your own?  Leave a comment and let me know.  I’M A HOT MESS!!!!!

Dave Decker has been on vacation — are you ready for this — TO FIND A NEW CAR!!  Who uses vacation days to go car shopping?  I’ve been doing his work (some…bossman has been doing a lot of his work too) and still trying to do all mine.  WORST part…he texts me during the day telling me how he could do the NO REFUSAL NOONER better…

Sup with that?  I mean seriously…take vacation to go car shopping (most people I know do it on Saturday) THEN criticize me?  Unreal…ok…the reason it’s good?  I don’t have to do his work and can get my shiz done…damn slacker.
