Fun fact: lobsters mate for life. Another fun fact: Ian said "I'm your lobster" to his insurance agent yesterday. Why on earth would he do that? Well, I'll let him explain, as he did on the MIX Morning Show as he filled in for Jeanne.

A few months into our rearranged office situation, Tony and I have yet to get the walls decorated the way we want. Thanks to the bossman hooking us up with a new poster, we're one step closer to completing our decorating process.

During this morning's show, Jeanne was flabbergasted by the fact that I like plain dark chocolate, saying it's too bitter for her taste. She followed that up by saying she was willing to bet there were very few people that actually preferred dark chocolate. We asked our Facebook fans what they thought, and here were the results:

As the "Family Feud" style online game Google Feud hit the web yesterday, I decided to pull the MIX 108 staff into the conference room with the staff of our sister station B105 for a round of game show antics.

While I was rummaging around in our boss's desk this morning looking for the pen he "borrowed" from me, I found something awesome! No, it isn't the stash of Taylor Swift merch he has, it was an extra pair of tickets to this Saturday's Pitbull and Enrique Iglesias show at Target Center! If you'd like to make them yours, here's what you need to do:

One of the sad realities of technology is that it tends to fail from time to time. This morning, I spent the entire morning show struggling with a computer mouse in the MIX 108 studio that just plain wouldn't work the way it is supposed to. Frustrated by the mouse being a pain in the rear, Ian and I decided to show it who is boss.

With all of the buzz about the fact there may be a Doritos flavored Mountain Dew in the experimental phase, Ian and I decided to make our own and give it a try.

With the cult craze the McRib enjoys, it may surprise some that both Ian and I have never tried the mythical sandwich. Being it is available once again, we decided to give it a try. Here is how it went.

Cooper and myself were talking about how October doesn't have as much scary movies out as there used to be. So we decided to dust off a film we made a couple years ago for the good people of Duluth.

Duluth is in a heated race in the Duluth Trading Company Flannel City Face-Off, working to earn the title of "Most Flannel City in America." To help explain why Duluth deserves to win this title, we decided to create a little campaign video.

With all this talk about swing set safety and the argument about whether it's "underdog" or "underduck" (see below), Ian and I decided to try the famous swing move we all loved as kids. We headed to a park down the street, because what else should we be doing on a Monday? See how things went.

Ian and I were working away today at our desks, when out of the blue comes some music from Jeanne's desk. Random music in the MIX 108 office isn't out of the ordinary, but the fact that Jeanne was still wearing her headphones confused us, so we decided to investigate.
