This morning we talked about the importance of being “dad.” I shared the following stats on the air and several people requested I post the info so that they too could share it. So here you go, men. Happy Father’s Day. You’re very important to someone.

Daughters of single parents without a Father involved are 53% more likely to marry as teenagers, 711% more likely to have children as teenagers, 164% more likely to have a pre-marital birth and 92% more likely to get divorced themselves.

Researchers of Columbia University found that children living in two-parent households with a poor relationship with their father are 68% more likely to smoke, drink or use drugs compared to all teens in two-parent households. Moreover, teens in single-mother households fared much worse. They had a 30% higher risk than those in all two-parent households.

“Without two parents, working together as a team, the child has more difficulty learning the combination of empathy, reciprocity, fairness and self-command that people ordinarily take for granted. If the child does not learn this at home, society will have to manage his behavior in some other way. He may have to be rehabilitated, incarcerated, or otherwise restrained. In this case, prisons will substitute for parents.”

Even someone as naive as you Gordon knows what a false flag event is . You were acting on Tues morning when you asked George about that “crazy guy” he listens to. Well Gordon…you know that’s Alex Jones…and hes got a much bigger audience than you. You also need to come to the realization that what happened in Boston is a gov run false flag event..just like Oklahoma City, 911, and many others.

If not then why were the police saying as the bombs were going off that this was a drill?? Why were there spotters on the buildings near the explosion? What were they doing there? Why were there bomb sniffing dogs at the start and finish line…yet they just couldn’t do their job. They really tried hard yet the event always happens. But its ok…Gordon The Warren Commission said Oswald acted alone! hahahahahahaha

lol lol lol right….sure!

Wow. Just wow.

Please stop talking about the Boston Marathon bombing. I realize that it was a dramatic and devastating event, but you guys need to let it go.

It is understandable to talk about it the first day, but there is only so much you can say about it. You are to the point where you are just repeating yourselves. I understand that you have listeners at different times and days, but if any of your listeners have not heard about it from your station or the news or any of the social media outlets, then they are not really a listener.

Just please move on with your day and do your regular show and make me laugh as usual.

Excluding your already long promotion times, about 60% of your airtime is spent talking about this bombing nonsense. There is nothing you can do about it. Just put it in your memory bank and move on.

Before you judge me, I feel for everyone that had a loss or incident that was related to the bombing. It is no doubt a sad event. But do not over do it like radio stations over-play songs. Mention it a couple times and show your respects, but no more.

It is understood that everyone feels sympathy for what happened. Nobody is going to hate you because you are not talking about it.

Just please stop this. It does not get you more listeners, so stop wasting your time or else, I am moving on. I am a faithful P1, but when you guys start to waste my time with these ridiculous stories, I will gladly just go back to listening to music instead.

I doubt, I am the only one that feels this way.

It amazes me that the long version of this show is no longer widely available. If anyone has the whole program please email me.
