Today Wake Up with Taylor became no more... 😔

2017-10-16T13:24:00.000-05:00

The whole WUWT community was shocked when they either heard Seth Speaks in place of Taylor or saw the news on social media... Wake Up with Taylor has been taken off of SiriusXM. Most are speculating that it was a sudden development and as of last week Friday, they did plan to continue as usual this week. On her Instagram, Tay promised that she will explain when she can.

I have been listening to Wake Up for over 11 years! I haven't listened much in recent years, but I try to keep up on what Taylor and Kenny are up to. I was lucky to have connected with many other WUWT fans and we will continue to be friends and connected despite Wake Up leaving.

What will be next for Taylor? We shall see. I know I will be watching and waiting to hear what she'll be doing.

Gasp! Today was Mr. Mans last day on Wake Up! :(

2016-07-22T20:15:00.000-05:00

Talk about an end of an era! I have been listening to Kenny & Taylor for over a decade! I'm sad to hear of his departure, but I'm also excited to see what the future holds for Kenny & his cute little family.

I'd love to hear your thoughts about Kenny leaving and your favorite moments from the show. I've really loved making Kenny part of my morning for so many years. I never did get to participate in a Cosmo Con, but I've enjoyed one of Kenny's gigs in Chicago and have made some great friends through the website. Kenny had a huge part of that... so many awesome memories just because Kenny was being Kenny on the radio every day.

Good luck Mr. Mans... we will miss you, but you won't be far away.

PS. I literally searched for over 2 hours for pictures of our hang in Chicago... the photos have disappeared and I'm so sad.

Have you seen Mr. Mans in Wedgerino yet? What are you waiting for?

Okay, so apparently Patrick and Stassi are still on, but....

2016-01-06T21:03:00.000-06:00

1. Wake up with Taylor has a new website! www.wakeupwithtay.com

2. Make sure you visit the website for recaps, Kenny's shows and MUCH MORE!

3. Who is still watching VanderPump Rules? I'm pretty sure I vowed to stop watching a season or two ago, yet I can't stop. :) Jax has just gotten sooooo much less hot over the years. James - blech. And Lala may look pretty in the night, but have you seen her in the daytime? Both James and Lala look over-tanned. Tanning is not "in" anymore!

Stassi and Patrick break up!

2015-09-15T14:11:00.002-05:00

What happened to the fairy tale that was happening in this quote from RealityTea....

Stassi insists their relationship is super happy, and they are planning to get married. “ “It’s as serious as it can get. If tomorrow he proposed, I would be ready. We don’t feel the need to experience more of life. We’re settled,” Stassi tells Wetpaint. “I don’t need to meet new people.”

I'm personally looking forward to Stassi crawling back to Vanderpump Rules now that she doesn't have a place to call home anymore. Not so much to see more of her, but to see what happens now that she's not playing house with Patrick and after she claimed to be all grown-up and embarrassed by everyone at SUR.

When Stassi and Patrick first hooked up, I figured it could go one of two different ways... either they are perfect for each other or it would be a disaster. Looks like both may have happened. You can't put two crazies together and expect a no-drama happily ever after.

I'm admittedly excited to watch the next train-wreck, I mean season, of Vanderpump. It's kind of like going out and drinking way too much one night and waking up the next morning wonder WTF you did that for.

Patrick has an announcement...

2014-05-29T20:45:00.000-05:00

Sorry, I had to laugh when I read that he had an announcement. I feel like he was always trying to keep us on edge with "an announcement"! But I do hope to hear something fun from him and Sean since he took the time to post on the Cocks with P Facebook page.

Charlie Bit Me!

2014-03-08T10:33:00.000-06:00

Remember Taylor's fascination with the Charlie Bit Me video? I played it so much myself that my kids started talking in the same accent and acting out the video.

Here is the trailer for the Charlie Bit Me movie. So funny!

Here we go... The Spinoff speculations have begun.

2014-02-11T20:37:00.000-06:00

(article courtesy of news.lalate.com)

BEVERLY HILLS (LALATE EXCLUSIVE) – Stassi Schroeder and her new boyfriend 2014 Patrick Meagher heat up the Vanderpump Rules finale. Who is Stassi Schroeder dating, who is Stassi’s new boyfriend on Vanderpump Rules, are Stassi and Jax still together, and is Stassi leaving Pump Rules for a new spinoff? LALATE can exclusively report that in 2013, Lisa Vanderpump made moves quietly to expand her producing arm. LALATE can report that Vanderpump obtaining new trademarks to her brand name, and is actively seeking to develop more television shows based upon her existing platforms and commercial properties.

While Lisa Vanderpump has yet to confirm yet a second show in new developments, there are new questions if she is seeking to spinoff Stassi Schroeder in a New York City based reality show for 2014. And if you think it sounds far fetched, there are more possible twists involved. First, one of Vanderpump’s producers on Vanderpump Rules previously successful spun off The Hills to The City over a decade earlier on MTV. Second, in recent months, Bravo has brought in a new development head who comes, not internally from inside Bravo, but rather from The City’s former home, MTV Networks.

Tonight fans will be asking who is Stassi dating. She says of Jax and histattoo “when I first saw it, it put pressure on me. I can’t listen to this anymore. It is really sad to hear him cry … that breaks my heart, it makes me sad.” Jax replies “The more she pushed him away, the more it made it harder. I never had a girl saw no to me before.”

Then Cohen asks Stassi who she is dating. In a Kenya Moore like moment, Stassi keeps the question unanswered during the reunion. “I am – I am feeling very happy. I could cry. He is one of the best people I ever met. He is just a fantastic person.” Stassi is dating Patrick Meagher, a Sirius XM show host.

Stassi says she only talks to Katie and her boyfriend and has no communication with the Pump cast anymore. “I don’t talk to him [Jax]. We don’t have any communication…I cut him out of my life,” she tells OK Magazine. When asked about Kristen, Stassi says “I don’t understand her at all; I never will.”

For now, while no spinoff is yet confirmed, Stassi has in fact quit Sur.

Stassi's net worth...

2013-12-19T13:20:00.000-06:00

I came across Stassi's net worth a week or so ago, and when I first saw it, it said she was worth $15K. Sometime in the past week, her net worth has be adjusted to $30K.

I didn't really know what goes in to figuring out your net worth. I found this calculator: http://cgi.money.cnn.com/tools/networth/networth.html

She probably doesn't need a spot on the Celebrity Net Worth website until she starts raking in a few more zeros on the end of those numbers. Just sayin'. I cringe to even call her a celebrity.

http://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-celebrities/models/stassi-schroeder-net-worth/

These are my confessions...

2013-12-11T11:48:00.000-06:00

I love drama. I don't like to be involved in the drama, but I love to watch train wrecks no matter how large or small, stupid or not. I watched Laguna Beach; I watched The Hills; I still watch The Real World... heck, I listen to the police scanner on my phone when nothing else is going on. It's probably the biggest reason I got into Cosmo Radio. I can't stand Patrick, but yet I tuned in when shit was hitting the fan... or at least had the potential to hit the fan. It's hard to admit, because it's exactly what he wanted.

Queue the train wreck named Stassi...

I couldn't help myself. I held out for so long. Hearing about her on Cocks with P and Wake Up made me so annoyed. Yet, I broke down and started watching Vanderpump Rules from the very first episode of Season 1. I watched one episode after another and looked forward to the next. I am more annoyed with Stassi than ever! But I can't look away! And, what's more... I can't wait to see how the hell Patrick is going to fit in to all of this.

I don't feel like this show is real life. I feel like it's The Hills with a new set of characters. The same awkward pauses, the same crazy stupid drama, the ridiculous self-righteous people... have I mentioned how annoying most of them are?

I can't help but think that Patrick was cast as Stassi's new boyfriend. He has similar looks to Jax. Patrick is needy; Stassi is needy and I can see her running all over Patrick. I want to be there for this train wreck, no matter how disastrous or hard to watch. I know I'll probably be pissed off most of the time, but I can't help it!!! To see Patrick work at SUR would be gratifying. To be able to see him get tossed around in this stupid drama will be equally gratifying.

Please tell me there are others of you feeling the same way??

Here are some articles about Stassi and Patrick:

Seems that Patrick is starting to get comfortable in front of the camera these days....

2013-11-19T09:37:00.000-06:00

It's no secret that Patrick and I have had our issues. Back in the day, the dude made me take down pics of him and he played it off like he's so humble and didn't want pics of him everywhere. He wanted to maintain some sort of secret life. Well, seems the times have changed... maybe it's the new girlfriend, Stassi Schroeder?

Most memorable moments of Wake up from the last 7-8 years...

2013-11-11T11:19:00.000-06:00

I enlisted the help of other Effers to come up with a list of some of the most memorable moments of Wake Up over the years it has been on the air. It was a fun walk down memory lane! It was hard to count them down, so I am going to list them out in no particular order. We each value the memories for different reasons... so I cannot decide for us all the importance of the moments. However, I would have to agree with those who said their most memorable moment is finding this group of other Effers, Cosmo guys and girls, and many who have become friends for life. That is the priceless gift that Wake Up has given many of us.

Here is a list of the other memorable moments, again, in no particular order:

• Tay Tay Tunes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuHYNc7c0Qg&list=UUeR8FiiUN7GzNhzCa91zM2Q&index=2

• Victoria Gets Dirty – Victoria Keelan, once part of the morning crew, had a segment called "Victoria Gets Dirty" because of her privileged upbringing with her mom, Fancy Nancy. Victoria did things such as cleaning a bathroom stall, Serra de Bunda dance, walking barefoot on the streets of New York and changing a baby's diaper.

• Who Knows You Better

• Taylors fat knees, nodules in her throat and hairy nipples

Mr. Last Minute literally never planned anything until the last minute. Mr. P stands for Mr. Perfect, which he isn’t perfect, but he’s perfect for her. And for a long time, she didn’t want to say his real name on-air.

• TOKYO! Taylor's safe word and how she reacted listening to sex talk

• The start of Yasu- They didn't know if he was real or not.

Pics of Tay, Kenny & Steph...

2013-11-07T17:58:00.000-06:00

I must say that nowadays, it is MUCH easier to come across pictures of our favorite morning show crew than it was WAY back in the day when I started listening to the show. I mean, isn't that one of the first things we do when we hear someone we don't know on the radio... gotta find a picture of them! Although I know them SO much better now, I thought it would be fun to do a search for Taylor... which inevitably also brought up some pics of Kenny and Steph too. :)
