Babs Was Once A Guest On The Jerry Springer Show
I am so devastated by the news of Jerry’s passing. I met Jerry Springer back when I was just an intern doing radio in Fort Myers on B1039. The Wild Bunch thought It would be funny if I went on Springer as a guest. Here is the thing, I wasn’t just any guest. The scenario was that I was a woman who had slept with someone’s man. By the way I would never do that in real life.
The day of the show, I was so nervous. I met the people who I was doing the segment with that same day. When It was time to go on stage, I started feeling sick to my stomach. However going out there gave me a rush! It was exciting and probably one of the most fun and interesting things I have ever done. Below is the clip.
Years later, I am still doing radio in Tampa and Fort Myers. Jerry Springer came to town because he was the Grand Marshall in the Knights Parade. He came to the station to do an interview and I had a chance to talk with him. I said “Jerry, I was on your show.” He looked at me and said “I’m so sorry.”
What a great guy with a great sense of humor. He will Truly be missed. TMZ reported that he lost his battle to cancer this morning. He died peacefully in his Chicago area home.

These Vehicles Are Most Targeted For Car Theft In Florida
Florida is one of the top 10 states with the highest vehicle theft rates in the US. But you may be wondering which vehicles these thieves are targeting.
All over the news lately we’ve been hearing about catalytic converter thefts. People are walking out to their cars to find it’s not starting up quite the same as before. If you hear a loud sound, smelly exhaust or a sluggish acceleration, that could be the first sign that it’s been stolen. You may be thinking..of all things, why the catalytic converter? The reason these bad guys want to get their hands on them is because the precious metals they’re made out of, palladium, rhodium and platinum, are getting more expensive so they’re worth more.
Not only are they valuable, but they also are pretty easy to steal. If they’re pros, they can slide under your car and remove it with a small saw in a minute or less. But you can prevent this from happening. They do sell catalytic converter anti-theft devices. You can also engrave your VIN number on the catalytic converter which will then make it harder to sell because it traces back to your car.
Carfax has put together a list of the most targeted vehicles for these thefts. If you own one of these makes and models, you’ll want to be extra vigilant. If your catalytic converter does happen to be stolen, it’s not a cheap fix. They run anywhere from $2000-$3000 to replace.
