5:30 a.m.-10 a.m. Monday-Friday

Jeff and Jenn have been waking up Cincinnati since 2002. You’d think that between the two of them, plus Fritsch, there would be quite a few cups of coffee in the studio. But for some reason it’s Sharpies that are the mainstay in the Q studio during those early morning hours.

One of Jenn’s favorite moments with Q was arranging the first Autism Speaks walk in Cincinnati when more than 3,000 people came out in the pouring rain to support families like hers who are living with autism. It’s being involved with events like this, as well as Bras Across the Bridge and the Cincinnati MDA Muscle Walk that make Jeff, Jenn and Fritsch so proud to call Q102 their radio home.

But when they’re not with Q, Fritsch loves taking in everything Cincinnati has to offer, from going to Bengals and Reds games to enjoying summer concerts at Riverbend. She especially loves her Skyline (“Extra hot sauce, please!”).

You’ll find Jenn most often hanging out with her awesome son, Jakob, or working on her many hidden talents which include tap dancing, belting out show tunes, fitting her whole fist in her mouth and knowing the number of every value meal at McDonald’s, Arby’s and Wendy’s.

A self-professed foodie, Jeff’s favorite place in Cincinnati is the chef’s table at Boca. Besides his love for food, he also possesses an uncanny sense of direction. “You can drop me anywhere in the country blindfolded,” he says. “I’ll always find my way back.” Sounds like a challenge!

Last night on “American Idol” the contestants performed songs from Motown and were coached by Smokey Robinson.  Several of the contestants did very well. Taking the top honors of the night singing “Lately” was Amber.  The lowlight of the show came when Burnie, Devin, and Lazaro performed “I Can’t Help Myself.”  Nicki Minaj told the boys to get off the stage.  OUCH!!!  If you missed any of the performances you can check them out here…

Last night was the debut of the brand new judges on “The Voice.”  Shakira and Usher took the vacant spots left by Cee-Lo and Christina.  Some people really enjoyed the chemistry between the new judges and think it makes the show even better.  Here’s a recap if you missed the show…

Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Kirsten Dunst went up against each other on an episode of “Celebrity Jeopardy!” back in 1997.  That was when he was 16 and she was 15.  Alex Trebek actually called him “Joey” on the show.  Now you can find the whole episode online.  One of the best moments was when they gave an answer about “The Catcher in the Rye”, which was Joseph’s favorite book back then.  (–He completely geeked out.  If you’re wondering why those two were ‘celebrities’ back then, remember, she was the little girl in “Interview with the Vampire” in 1994, and he was on “3rd Rock from the Sun”.  The third contestant was Benjamin Salisbury from “The Nanny”.)
