Ecstatic to hear you back on the air.. I knew you were back in full form when I almost wrecked because I was laughing so hard on your “My Vagina has a First Name…”
Great to have you back, I really enjoy you guys!!
Mark you have always talked about the good and bad as a great way to get your kids to talk and I agree 100% with that. I bring this up because about 2 years ago you took your listeners on a great ride on Katie’s start on the “Bold and the Beautiful” we all gathered around the TV to watch her on her first show, you shared funny stories that happen on the “B&B” when the camera wasn’t rolling and you told us when she appeared on soap opera digest but then for the past 8 months we haven’t heard anything about Katie being on “B&B” is she still on the show? if not, why and when did that end? We were there for the good if her “B&B” days are over I hope you’ll tell us, I’ve asked around in the M&L fan sites and none of those people seem to know either…
Ok, I have the answer to why the reindeer died from the lightning. A long time ago early in my career as an electrical engineer, I was sent to lightning protection school to learn about lightning and how to protect products from lightning damage. During the seminar, they told us of why cows get killed from standing under a tree or pasture during a lightning storm. Itβs a thing called ground step potential. When lightning strikes the ground, the ground becomes energized from the spot where the bolt hits and a current flows outwards in all directions from there. As a lightning bolt has voltages in the millions of volts, the potential across 6 feet (about the stance of a cows front legs to back legs) of ground can be a fraction of that initial bolt voltage which can still be 10000+ volts. The cow is the path of least resistance and it becomes the conduction path for the surge to travel. Therefore, dead cow / reindeer!

It was nice to hear an update on this on “Daddy vs. Daughters”, thank you guys.

Dammit Mark, we don’t want to hear someone else’s Halloween list just yours. Like Linda says, that’s suckin’ ass! Love you bud!
