Thank Your Audience
Be grateful to each member of your audience. Their attention is a gift. Send a heartfelt message that simply thanks people for being part of your community.
When’s the last time you thanked your listeners for listening? Not because they won a contest. Not because you’re running a promo. Just because they chose YOU. Their attention is valuable, and they gave it to you. Acknowledge that. A simple, sincere thank-you goes further than you think.

Impossible Question
27% of people say they would give up social media for a year if they could get this: an extra two weeks of vacation
The Situation
I need some help here. I’m a 17-year-old guy and living at home with my parents until I graduate next spring (2022).
My parents are very conservative. They watch Fox News all the time and always talk about “those liberals.” I don’t share their point of view, and they actually kind of make me crazy.
Instead of getting in fights, I decided to have some fun at their expense. So I came up with a kind of mean joke to make them angry. I sat them down and came out to my parents as gay. I wanted to see them react, then tell them I was kidding.
But they weren’t upset. In fact, they were really understanding and supportive.
It was so awkward, I didn’t know how to tell them I wasn’t really because it would have been cruel. So now they think I’m gay, and I’m not. I have a girlfriend and not even close to gay. What should I do?

Today’s Birthdays – September 15
Felix (rapper) (2000, age 26) – This Australian rapper made his name as one-fifth of Stray Kids, and at just 26 he’s already logged years of global tours and platinum sales — proof that sometimes the youngest guy in the room is the one running the show.
Daily Horoscopes – September 15
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
You’re not built for surface-level today, and honestly, you’re not in the mood to fake it. Somebody’s been waiting for you to go deeper, so give them the real conversation. It’ll feel better than you think.
Today In History – September 15
1948
F-86 Sabre Breaks Speed Record
The North American F-86 Sabre hit 671 miles per hour, setting a new world airspeed record and edging past the speed of sound. That fighter went on to become a legend in the Korean War, going head-to-head with Soviet MiGs. Not a bad day at the office for a plane that would earn its place in aviation history.
Today In Music History – September 15
1956
Elvis Lands the Biggest Double-Sided Monster Ever
Elvis Presley
Elvis Presley kicked off a five-week reign at No. 1 with ‘Don’t Be Cruel,’ and here’s the kicker — that single had ‘Hound Dog’ on the flip side. One side hit No. 1, the other parked at No. 2, and the two titles combined for 55 weeks in the Top 100. That’s not a hit record, that’s a hostile takeover of the entire chart, and it set the bar for every double A-side that followed.
