It’s National Goof Off Day!

We are lucky!  Today we can forget about our daily pressures from every day life and do something fun.

It’s Goof Off Day.  A chance for us to do something fun, silly, or relaxing.

This is a much needed day for Americans.  According to a Gallup Poll in 2015, Americans work hard, an average of 34.4 hours a week.  That’s longer than their counterparts in the world’s largest economies. Most full time employed adults report working 47 hours a week.

So ‘Goof Off Day’ is needed!

Jason-aldean-brittany-0321 RY

The couple married in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico in front of family and friends including Tyler Farr, who served as a groomsman. Duck Dynasty‘s Willie Robertson officiated the ceremony.

Tyler Farr talks about Jason Aldean’s wedding.

“There were only about 20 or 30 people there. Some magazine said Luke Bryan was there and 150 people. And I’m like, no there wasn’t, I was there. There was like all the celebrities there. Me, if you want to call me one and Willie Robertson and that was it.”

TRACE ADKINS

Trace Adkins has five daughters. Over the years, he has met his fair share of boyfriends, and he has developed a special way of interacting with them.

“I don’t normally bother to even learn their names or get too acquainted with them, until they’ve been around for a long time. If you stick around a year or so, maybe we’ll talk, but I really don’t expect for you to be here that long.”

BRETT ELDREDGE

Spring training is in full force. So, over the next few days, Brett Eldredge hopes to head to Mesa, Arizona to hang out with his favorite baseball team, the Chicago Cubs.

 “I became friends with a lot of these players because we all kind of have similar lifestyles, in that we all travel. We all gotta perform in our own way, in some way, and I’ve connected with them that way. So, I’m gonna go out there. I’m gonna play. I’m gonna try to hit some balls, hopefully, and have some fun with it. I’m a Cubs fan through and through, and I’ll be there, just like I’ve always been, through the good and the bad.”

THOMAS RHETT

It’s a well-known fact that Thomas Rhett and his wife Lauren will soon welcome two babies into their lives. The happy couple has spent the past few months traveling back and forth seven times to Africa to finalize the adoption of one of their children. Although exciting, the process has been far from easy.

Thomas Rhett talks about the adoption process.

“The process of adopting someone from a different country is really, really strenuous, and you find out a lot about yourself, you know, when you’re over there, and you and your wife are staying in a hotel room for a month and a half. And you wake up, and you think you’re going to get some news, and you don’t get it. Really the best way I can describe the adoption process is an emotional roller coaster. We’re finally over that hump and cannot wait to get our child home.”

Ghosting – What Is It?

It’s the newest way to end a trend a relationship – ‘Ghosting’!

What is ghosting?

It’s when someone suddenly cuts all ties and communication with the person they’ve been seeing. Basically, it’s a way to break-up with someone or avoid dating them again.

This form of breaking up is very popular for people who use online dating sites.

Why use ghosting to break-up?  Some people feel that if you ignore the person you are dating, that ‘jilted’ person will eventually get the hint and realize their partner isn’t interested anymore.

Ghosting sounds ‘cowardly’ to me.

What happened to the lame excuses like, “It’s not you-it’s me”, “I’m just not ready for a relationship right now, but if I were-you’d be the one”, or “”I just really need to focus on my job right now”!

Photos and a Special Message

My last day hosting the Free Ride was super colorful! We asked listeners to submit photos showing off their green for Saint Patrick’s Day and boy did they deliver! We also called a local listen who is from Ireland and got he to record a short, but 100% authentic message for the day!

Have a great weekend! See you all on the night show next week!
