The Jared Morris Radio Show Extra

TALK RADIO FOR THE REST OF US

Ungrateful Boy Scout Dads Click Here

So, I talked about this on the radio on Thursday morning for a segment but, there’s more to the story, so I thought I could get this garbage off my huge chest right here right now. Chances are I’m going to have to talk about it again on the radio show tomorrow morning, but, I’m upset right now.

On Wednesday, I (out of the goodness of my heart) gave a local boy scouts troop a tour of the radio station and did a Q and A session with the boys and their dad to help with their communication merit badge.  As I mentioned on the radio, I told them to meet me at the station at 7pm. They did not show up until 715pm. Now, I said on the radio that it was rude to keep me waiting, and it’s not a lesson I’d teach the kids if I were in charge of their scouting life. Truth is, I almost left but they finally showed up after 715 and I took care of them for almost an hour. Now, I get off work at 1pm. I came to the station, to work, six hours later, spent 30 minutes wait5ing for the scouts and their un punctual dads, stayed with them for an hour.. Why? I didn’t have to.. why did I do it? because I was a cub scout and I thought it would be the nice thing to do. A staff member at the station recommended I get one of our interns to do it.. but, I said that I would because I wanted to help. I wanted to be a nice guy, and I did for over an hour. anyway, so the next day I talked about how they were late and it was rude to keep me waiting. Afterall, I was the one helping this troop out.. and what happens? well, one of Boy Scouts daddies calls the station to complain! Yep, it wasn’t enough that I went out of my way and spent all that time with them, and really had fun with them.. Nope, BSD couldn’t take me telling the truth that prima donna didn’t care that he made me wait and never apologized.. nope Evil Talk Show Host who helped his kids and went out of his way for nothing, out of sheer wanting to do something nice for someone… and he begins to tell my boss all the things he didn’t like about the tour also. well, BSD, that is the absolute last time I have anything to do with you or the Boy Scouts or the Cub Scouts or scouting. Next time your kids need to get their badge take it to The Bridge or somewhere you and your croonies approve of. I will NEVER and I mean EVER volunteer to help you people ever again, you ungrateful sniveling backstabbing creep.l And you dared shake my hand and thank me afterword? Disgusting. There’s a lesson for your boy scouts.. don’t help anyone.. they’ll repay you for it.

Polish Potato Soup

here’s the latest from my upcoming Polka Friday Jared Morris Polish For the Rest of Us Cookbook

7 peeled pototoes, cubed
1/2 to 1 .tsp celery salt**
1/2 large onion
1/2 package of peeled baby carrots
2 cups chicken stock
8 cups water
1 tablespoon butter
8oz sour cream
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 tsps of thyme, basil and garlic powder*
1/2 tsps salt and pepper
boil vegetables and spices in chicken stock and water for 30 min.

create a roux with butter and flour (melt butter and bring to bubble in small frying pan, once bubbling add in flour, mix until it ‘boils’ – stir in about 1/3 of the sour cream, continue to mix until boiling. mix in the remaining sour cream) -

after veg boil for 30 min, mix in butter, flour, sour cream mix. (remove onion)
reduce heat to med/low – on stove for 15 to 30 minutes.

I like to then add to slow cooker or croc pot and heat on low overnight. (low for 8-10 hours)

*you can use real cloved garlic (use about 1/2 the clove)

**you can also use 3 stalks of celery, but my wife hates celery, so i just use the celery salt

***i don’t like cooked onions, but if you do, by all means keep the onion in, dice beforehand. I just toss it in whole then remove it once it’s boiled out.

Jared Morris voted Best of Delaware 2011

For those of you that missed it, Jared was voted Best of Delaware 2011 overall Radio Personality (downstate) by readers of Delaware Today Magazine in their annual Best of Delaware issue. Be sure to pick up this month’s issue and read about the other Bests of Delaware or read about it here online

http://www.delawaretoday.com/Delaware-Today/July-2011/Best-of-Delaware-2011-Shopping-and-Services-Media-Radio-Personality-Robin-Bryson-of-WDEL-WSTW-Jared-Morris-of-927-WGMD/

Jared says: “It actually means a lot to me to be recognized by the readers of Delaware Today magazine as Best of Delaware, Radio Personality, for the first time this year… and to be chosen by the readers… wow! what an honor! humbling and exciting. Everyday I try my best to bring excitement and entertainment and happiness to my listeners and to be recognized for it, it’s just awesome. The Best of Delaware awards are unique because although their is a critic’s choice (which by the way, my best radio friend and co-worker Dan Gaffney took home this year for best talk radio personality!), the readers are the actual listeners to what we do, and in turn who we do it for. I take stick from people on a daily basis for who I am and how I present the show, but I’m glad to know that I am reaching people. You know what they say about the minority complainers, they might be the smallest population but they bitch the loudest! I’m not so naive as to believe this will change anyone’s mind who already has misconceptions about me, but, I don’t care, they don’t listen anyway. Well, I care a little, but the support of all of you who voted means the world to me and is a small victory and a little vindication over so much evil that persists in today’s society. I try to do the right thing always, and for me, at least this year, the right thing has paid off. I vow to continue to bring to the radio my all every week I’m still on the air at WGMD, and thank all of you and my radio family that has supported me as well. Every year I see Dan win awards, and the station’s news department win awards, and finally, I feel like I don’t have anything to prove to anyone. Accept me and the show as it is, or please move on. It might sound silly to put so much stock and emotion into one “award”, but, I’ve been recognized by the radio community before, even by some of the top talkers and editors in the country, and ratings always speak for themselves, and I’m even a “star” (for 5 minutes a week!) on radio in England, but to be recognized at home and by the people of our state means the world to me. Thank You all so much and although there will still be days where I have bad days and probably days I’ll say stupid things, and days I flip out on jerks, I will still always try to do my best and give my all to each and every one of you. You rock!

-J
