The Bob

What is your name? My legal name is Robert, and you know me as "The Bob".

When can you be heard on 96.9 WBTI? I am taking all your requests during the super awesome hours of 7:00 PM to Midnight for Saturday Night on Demand. I'm also stumbling through Noon-4:00 on Sunday.

Do you have any nicknames?  What are they? I was pushing for The Notorious B.O.B. but it just wasn't working. My wife and her friends call me Bobbles. Shut up.

Where are you from? California! Be jealous.

Married, Single, or somewhere in between? Married to my best friend who I actually met working here. It's been over a year now. She's cool.

When did you start working at WBTI? I was hired here the day I turned 18, January 1, 2008. Then I got on air in like February. I'm getting all choked up just thinking about it... (sniffle)

Why did you get into radio? Because I am super lazy and this is about as close as it gets to being paid for nothing. I'm kidding. Kind of. Not really. I like to talk too.

Why are you staying in radio? I need the money. I was planning on being the next Howard Stern but radio's not really a great family career.

What famous person do you (or other people) think you resemble? Keanu Reeves and one of the Jonas Brothers. I'm not sure which one and I don't know if that's good or bad.

What do people like most about you? I'm pretty chill and for the most part refuse to take life seriously.

What is your most annoying habit? I'm a Saint! I don't know, you'd have to ask my wife. Tearing my fingernails? Hating the world?

Name a few of your favorite singers/groups? The Offspring, The Smashing Pumpkins, The White Stripes, Jimi Hendrix, The Silversun Pickups, Breaking Benjamin, Evans Blue and a million other things. I'm all about that intense buildup feeling and sweet guitar.

What song do you hate the most? Lips of an Angel by Hinder. You know how certain songs remind of you of certain things? Yeah... and I think it just sucks anyway even if it didn't depress me.
Did just mentioning that song make it get stuck in your head? Nooooo. But Party in the USA by Miley Cyrus is always stuck in my head. I nod my head like yeah. (Did I just lose Man Points? Yes I did.)

Go to your SENT texts.  What does the first one say? I know I just found out yesterday. Fail!

Name one thing you worry about running out of. Years of my life. Depressing, I know.

What do you do when no one is watching? Draw really nerdy pictures. And scratch my butt.

Which body part do you wash first? Hair, then chest, then armpits, groin area, and arms.

What 3 things can always be found in your refrigerator? Cottage cheese, diet pepsi, and salsa. My wife's one of those healthy people.

What superstition do you believe/practice? Whenever I eat at a fast food restaurant and get two sandwiches I always fold the wrapper of the first one really really neatly, and crumple up and throw the second wrapper. I just do. 

Have you ever had two dates in one night? I've kissed two girls in a night but I wasn't on a date with anyone. I really am a good boy though.

What's the weirdest thing you have done while driving? Smacked my boob while yelling "'Shut up George!" Don't ask.

Do you talk on your cell phone when you drive? Once in a while. I try not too though.

Do you parallel park or drive around the block? Parallel usually. I have a small car though.

Where is your favorite place to be in Port Huron and the surrounding areas? In my bed. Or playing basketball at this little park in Lakeport. It's really nice.

Anything else you would like to share? I have eaten every single item on the menu at Casey's Pizza and Subs in downtown Port Huron. There's like 80 things on that menu. I have a plaque in the restaurant. I'm cool.
