10 THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT MICHAEL JACKSON

The King of Pop has died.

Here are the 10 Things You Didn't Know About Michael Jackson.

10. Billie Jean Was the First Video By a Black Artist on MTV
The first video you ever play by a black man is a video about him not wanting to pay child support? Way to avoid stereotypes!

9. Michael Jackson filed a patent application for the "leaning forward a bit" dance moves displayed in the Smooth Criminal video.
You know every time your boss tells you "if you've got time to lean, you've got time to clean?" You owed MJ $20.

8. Jackson's favorite superhero was Morph from the X-Men. 

7. Michael Was Featured in Clay Form in Genesis' "Land of Confusion" video.
It's been a long time since we've seen this. Genesis has potential to replace MJ as the weirdest dudes in music.

 6. Michael was the one who started the rumor that he slept in a hyperbaric chamber
It was all a stunt to promote his Captain EO film showing at Disney World. It also kick-started the "Michael Jackson is completely insane" label. That part stuck for the rest of his life.

5. Michael believed that if you peeled the skin off of KFC chicken, it made it organic.
Michael's friend David Gest revealed this in 2008.   

4. Michael once dated Brooke Shields and Tatum O'Neal
You had to be around in the 80s for this joke. Where's Michael Jackson's other glove? In Brooke Shields' pants!

3. His dad nicknamed him "Big Nose"
Joe was one crazy alpha male mofo. Did Michael's nose shrink over time because of plastic surgery, or because Crazy **** Joe stopped whopping it?

 2. MC Hammer once challenged Jackson to a dance-off
MJ reportedly told Hammer, "I've seen your videos and every single dance move you use, you got off of me." Nobody ever took Hammer seriously again after that.

1. His close friends called him "Smelly"
Good ol' Smelly Jackson. That's what Quincy Jones and Stephen Spielberg called him. Does weirdness have a scent?

Okay, so this has been photoshopped...BUT, read what happened over the weekend...

FAVRE WATCH: MINNESOTA VIKINGS HAVE ALREADY SIGNED HIM?

There are reports claiming that Brett Favre has already been signed by the Minnesota Vikings.... and they are just waiting for the right time to make the announcement.

The reports say that the Vikings have also authorized Reebok to start making Favre jerseys.

On Friday, Vikings coach Brad Childress said that Favre is "pain-free right now" but wouldn't say whether the team would sign the retired quarterback.

The rumor now is that an official signing might not happen for awhile because Childress is spending this week fishing with Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid and Childress' daughter is getting married July 11th.

There is no set deadline for Favre to make a decision but training camp starts at the end of July.

 This is awesome!

Many listeners ask us for more pictures from our lives we lead off-the-air.

Usually, life is pretty mundane for my wife and I, but we did celebrate her 40th (she definately doesn't look it!) in Vegas. It was a surprise trip that I sprung on her about a week before. We met her mom Sandi and step-dad "Screwy Louie" there for a few days of fun.

Here are a few pics from the weekend.

This is the greatest waiter who ever lived. His name is Joe. We ate at Nove Italiano at The Palms Hotel. This was the night of Caley's birthday and it was maybe the best food/restaurant experience of our lives. They made Caley feel really special and got us a great table overlooking the "Strip".

Here's Pat. She was walking by with some friends and I asked her to press my "Wheel of Fortune" 'Spin' button. I really did! And it hit on 1000! That was $250 because it was a quarter machine. Blackjack and craps pretty much ate my lunch so I about broke even. I don't know about you, but I'm afraid of risking more than just a few bucks. This was the big highlight of the wagering portion of the weekend.

Saturday before dinner. This was a Huka bar. We didn't participate cuz it kind of freaked me out. To the best of my knowledge. a huka is a middle-eastern device that you smoke out of. Although hukas are used mainly to smoke hash, the bar was in the hotel were staying in, so we believe it was legal! I think it was just flavored herbs.

Later in the evening we stopped up to The Playboy Club. It sounds a little more exciting than it was for us. It was kind of dead up there, but it was only about 9:30pm. I think if I had a robe on people would've mistaken me for Hugh Hefner. Okay, maybe not.

Anyway, there are a few pics from our weekend. Hope you had a great one too.

See you tomorrow on-the-radio.
