Or that Jack Kevorkian's suicide machine--named "Thanatron," BTW--goes up for auction the 28th? Yes, friends, you can buy it and make it your own!

Or that it seems there are more political spouses on the stump trail right now than there are potential candidates for President? Like we wouldn't expect them to love their ticket to super-stardom in the national American political arena? C'mon!

As Joan Rivers says, "Let's TAWK" this Thursday. All of us. Really, there is more than enough room for everyone in cyberspace to talk about ... whatever it is we wanna talk about. Tell us what you think. About anything. We're all ears. And flappin' lips. We'll have a response. Guaranteed.


We're waiting to hear from you. Listener dial-in number is 347-994-3835.

What Will They Say Next?

THREE WISE GIRLS SHAKE UP THE AIRWAVES WITH REALITY RADIO!

Reality entertainment is life these days. We can’t go anywhere without some in-the-moment diversion that looks into the real lives of other people. That’s why it’s called reality, isn’t it?

Whether talking football, chemo, or Charlie Sheen, Three Wise Girls tell their version of how it is. It’s their reality. These ladies deliver entertaining and, occasionally, illuminating discourse. Listeners smile, or they scream profanity. Either way, this is reality, and it’s entertaining. It’s Reality Radio.

The Three Wise Girls, Debbie Barth and Linda J. Alexander, are savvy professionals with a wacky edge.

Debbie dreams prophetic dreams. Is drawn to the mystical. A romantic at heart who loves murder mysteries. Has opinions not for the faint of heart. Knows football better than Brett Favre. Remember the movie, Steel Magnolias? Debbie is Sally Field, Lily Tomlin, and Dolly Parton rolled into one.

Linda dreams prophetic dreams. Is drawn to the mystical. A romantic at heart who writes real life mysteries. Has opinions not for the faint of heart. "The Spirit Biographer," she digs up dead people and writes about them. Remember TV’s The Patty Duke Show? Linda is both cousins at the same time.

Three Wise Girls reality radio offers lively discussion on everything from poop to pigeons and all in between … maybe politics?! Never politically-correct and determinedly off-the-cuff and on-the-edge, Debbie and Linda shake up the airwaves with straight talk, craziness, and ALWAYS humor. These ladies want to share life … making you smile, yell, and throw things at your computer screen. What’s life without passion?

Three Wise Girls Reality Radio airs next on Thursday, October 20, 2011, from 2:30 PM – 3 PM EST.

The Republican Road To The White House

 

Will it be Romney, Pawlenty, Cain, Paul, Bachmann, Santorum, Gingrich, Trump, Perry or Trump? Will someone new enter the race? There is still plenty of time for someone to rock the boat.

And, which two would make a great White House team?

The Republican Candidate race has just started to form, but Debbie Barth and Linda Alexander are ready to diss on the likely candidates (and it's not going to be pretty.) Join us for a very lively show and if you are brave enough, call in at

(347) 994-3835 and let us know what YOU think!

Yep we are talking about one of those "things" you should never discuss in polite company .... but who said we were polite?

We are live this coming Thursday, June 16 at 3:00 pm at the Three Wise Girls Internet Radio Talk Show. Join us and participate in the chatroom, or call us at (347)944-3835.

Don't forget to bring your sense of humor. You may really need it for this show!

BREAKING NEWS ... well, literally, there is SO much breaking news in the last couple of days (major breaking news) that the Three Wise Girls have decided to hold off on airing this particular show. We want to take some time to assess all the news surrounding the recent developments in the killing of bin Laden and the responses of our future candidate choices up for discussion. We'll go live again towards the end of May. So stay tuned! This one is going to be one of those "can't miss" shows!"*******************************************************

In just the last few days, Haley Barbour has backed out of the race--not enough fire in his belly, he said ... nope, we won't go there. And Rand Paul has jumped into the ring. He's registered as a Republican but the Tea Party folks are claiming him as a star. And just today, Donald Trump is "claiming victory" by "forcing" President Obama to release his birth certificate. Who knows what'll happen between now and next week?

Gosh ... the Three Wise Girls have sooo much to talk about!

So ... who do YOU think should run on the Republican presidential ticket for 2012? The Three Wise Girls--Debbie and Linda--have the answer ... and that answer includes The Donald, aka Donald John Trump--maybe as Prez, or maybe as Chief Trash Collector. You'll have to tune into our show on Thursday, April 28, 2011, at 2:30 PM to find out which it is.

We really do want your ideas. This is the United States of America, after all, and we are a democratic society. You, and we, choose who lives in that known-'round-the-world White House! There's a lot of talk as to who's going to make a run for it on the side of the Democrats. Not as much with the Republicans, so let's help 'em along with our thoughts.

Might as well tell us what you think. We're definitely going to tell you what we think. We know as much, at least, as the average Jane Doe on the streets. We read. We pay attention to the news. We do the research. We pay our taxes. We watch Jerry Springer, Oprah, and The Daily Show.

How do you figure it out? Do you select your favorite candidate based on his--or her--positions on the economy, jobs, international relations, global warming ... or how good he--or she--looks on the campaign trail? You can tell us. We promise it'll remain our secret ... just you, us, and a whole lotta listeners hanging on to your every word. No pressure.

Join us for a WILD discussion about presidential politics and all the theoreticals ... and by the way, if that wasn't a word before, it is now. As usual, this is a public service presented to you by your friends, the oh-so-edumacated-on-this-stuff Three Wise Girls.

Call in: 347-994-3835. Or register on the site ... and chat us up in the online chat room, Thursday, 5/5, 2:30 PM. We wanna hear from you!

Spring Is In the Air-Three Wise Girls on Back On the Airwaves!

Spring is in the air … and the Three Wise Girls are on the airwaves again. Let the clouds part, the sun shine, the butterflies flutter on the flowers, and the birds sing!


This Thursday, March 31, 2011 at 3:00 pm EST., Debbie Barth and Linda Alexander will be charting new territory as they change the format of their Three Wise Girls Show. What’s changing? Well, for one ….. the girls are putting the show in “speed mode” and changing from an hour show to a thirty-minute show. Hey … our time is valuable you know! So much to do … and so little time to do it in. Admittedly, for two ladies with so much to talk about, this may be somewhat of a challenge.


So join us for a few surprises and be prepared to talk about just about everything, from how to make new friends and astonish people to something you didn’t know about Liz Taylor and Robert Taylor. We may even talk a bit about the sad and tragic nuclear meltdown recently … no, not in Japan …. In L.A. …. I’m talking Charlie Sheen of course. Everyone else is taking about him, so why shouldn’t we? And what does live video have to do with the Three Wise Girls? Call in and find out.


This show is loosely topic-based this week. (And I do mean loosely) and you are welcomed to call in and join in on the fun. Let us know your opinion about … whatever. After all, we probably value your opinion more than your friends and family does.


So join us … this Thursday, March 31, 2011, 3:00 pm at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/threewisegirls. Call in and really join in on the fun at 1-347-994-3835! We are looking forward to hearing what you have to say. Actually, we are looking forward to what we have to say, we are just being nice.

The Life And The Mysterious Death of Sam Cooke

“It’s been a hard time living, but I’m afraid to die” … Sam Cooke

The Legendary Sam Cooke died December 11, 1964, but his legacy and his music …. and his very presence … is as much alive today, some 47 years later, as it was so very long ago. Also still very much alive, are the unanswered questions surrounding the untimely and mysterious death of this beloved singer and composer.

Those who were close to Sam, as well as those who grew up with his music, will claim that he was the inventor of soul music, and … that would certainly be hard to dispute. He was one the first black entertainers to found both a record label and a publishing company. He was an outgoing, charming and handsome man with a voice as smooth as spun silk. He grew up in the church, and had already made a name for himself with a gospel group, the Soul Stirrers, before transitioning to soul, blues and pop music. His gospel music is still played to this day. It is hard to hear “You Send Me”, and “For Sentimental Reasons”, without “going to a special moment in time.” It is hard to listen to the hauntingly beautiful “A Change is Gonna Come” and not feel the anguish of the times, but …. at the same time … the conviction in which he sang one of the most powerful songs to come of the civil rights era. He not only sang this song, but he wrote this song, his inspiration coming from his very own experiences, and belief in a “better day” to come.

And, it is hard not question the “official report” given to the public concerning the mysterious fatal shooting of this legendary icon, son, sibling, husband, father, and friend … in December 1964.

Join co-hosts Debbie Barth and Linda Alexander, with special guest Vincent Graves ... Thursday, January 27, 2011 at 2:00 pm EST, as we celebrate his life, and speculate together as to what really happened that cold December night Sam Cooke was fatally shot by Bertha Lee Franklin. You can listen to us live at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/threewisegirls. We welcome you to participate with us in the chat room, or call in at 347-994-3835. We want to hear your insight on Sam Cooke …. favorite songs, or stories … and what you really think happened that night at the Hacienda Hotel. Was justice really served in court, or was a very special dish of conspiracy served up instead. Was Sam set up by an alleged hooker Elisa Boyer and hotel manager Bertha Lee Franklin … or were they recruited by someone or something bigger … that would put a different “spin” on the entire record industry, should the real truth be known.

Unless this case is re-opened, we may never really know the truth. And to be clear, the scenarios discussed on this show concerning that night are mere speculation and hypothesis. But one thing that is very clear is that the investigation was botched the moment that police entered the room and found him on the floor. Reading the “official report” clearly left more questions than answers. And, the two “witnesses” giving testimony were Elisa Boyer … an alleged hooker whose “source of income” was not allowed in testimony and who, in 1979, was found guilty of second degree murder in the shooting death of her boyfriend … and Bertha Lee Franklin ….the shooter.

We welcome you to visit the links and resources we used as the basis for this show, and again, invite you to join us in conversation.

Magic's in the Bag ... & On The Three Wise Girls!

Have you ever heard of Gris-Gris? The Three Wise Girls show is going into uncharted territory … for us, anywho. We’re going to talk about Gris-Gris Bags & Sachets & how to create them, what they’re used for, even their history—&, let’s be real … are they FOR REAL?

The term’s origin is muddied but some trace it to the word, “juju,” West African name for a fetish, or sacred object. The original European translation was “Grou-Grou.” In turn, that eventually became “Gris-Gris” … pronounced “Gree-Gree.” All this is arguable, but wherever it actually came from the term has come to be known as a good luck charm, usually mixed with the supernatural. Some automatically think, “Voodoo,” & others think witchcraft. In today’s world the term encompasses its traditional history, & so much more.

Authors Jude Bradley & Cheré Dastugue Coen's new book officially comes out 12/1, "Magic's in the Bag: Creating Spellbinding Gris Gris Bags & Sachets." They've created an all-encompassing primer to teach you about Gris-Gris Bags—history, purpose, & the spiritual practices from around the world which have come together to make these fascinating objects part of the past & today. You'll learn how to make your own, spells to empower your bags, & tips on growing your garden for the express purpose of filling your Gris-Gris bags.

Jude is a Los Angeles-based writer, editor and producer with more than 35 years experience in publishing. She also works as a spiritual consultant, using tarot card readings, mediumship, & energy guidance in her practice. Cheré is Louisiana born-and-bred, a freelance journalist, teacher, & author of nonfiction books & historical romance novels. Together, they know their Gris-Gris!

This show's likely to go in all directions. Anything’s possible. We expect to have others join in on the discussion—maybe some witches who use Gris-Gris bags, or some folks who adamantly advocate against the whole concept. Please be a part of our special Gris-Gris show … but don’t cast any spells on US. The jury is out on where this will all wind up!

Important Update In Support Of Our Truckers

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I just had a wonderful phone conversation with Jason's wife, Hope, and she mentioned her concern over the closing of rest areas in New York, leaving truck drivers with even fewer safe choices for safe parking. She mentioned this peaceful protest event, and I wanted to pass it on.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In support of Jason's Law ..... Jason Riverburg .... his surviving family, and all the truckers out there needing safer places to park:


New York is set to shut down 10 rest stop areas, at a time when there is already a shortage of rest areas for our truckers to take their very much needed breaks.


There will be a peaceful protest next Monday, November 1, 2010 ..... at the Schodack rest area in NY off I 90. We are just asking the truckers to please come and take there 10 hr break there to show DOT and the elected officals that these rest areas are so very important to everyone.

Not Helpless Anymore

On Thursday, August 5 at 12pm EST on Three Wise Girls on Blog Talk Radio, we are introducing a very powerful story to all of you. We are here to share with you a little bit about a woman that fell in love with this handsome, athletic guy… The man of her dreams!! They fell in love and got married, she had everything a young woman could ever want, a husband, a career, children in other words her own fairytale come true. Few years into the marriage, shortly after they had their second child, her husband ask her to stop working and take care of the children full-time; she agrees since he was in the military and they were comfortable economically. Shortly after that, he decided to sell her car, because there was no need to have multiple vehicles he said. Then he started timing her and checking the odometer in his car; if she was on the phone he will sit next to her and listen to her conversations.

Later his attentions with her started changing, everything she did appears to be wrong the more she tried to make everything to his standards the worse he treated her. Suddenly one morning without warnings, he grabs her by the ankle pulls her off the bed and starts punching her repeatedly. His excuse, he had a bad report from his commander. Once he calmed down he apologizes and he said it wasn’t going to happen again he said he will seek help and everything will go back to what it was. A week later he got home from work and he didn’t agree with what she cooked for him so he push her against the counter and start beating. This time she woke up in the hospital, no signs of her kids, or him; just few broken ribs and bruises everywhere but even then her physical pain wasn’t as great as the pain of not knowing the fate of her kids; Did he hurt them? Are they safe? Nobody, seems to have an answer.

Finally a familiar face an MP (Military Police) that works with him walks in the door ask her for a statement and, in closing, he said its not as bad as it looks. You should try to work things out! Your kids are safe they will be in the room in a little bit. Sighs of relief were heard from the hospital bed. Once she had some privacy she called the state police and ask them to come to the hospital where they took a statement and arrested him. The Military Police didn’t think it was necessary to press charges, but she took manners into her own hands.

Once he was arrested she called her mother who clearly stated over the phone “You must have done something, and you deserve what he did to you”. Hurt by her mothers words she realizes she was alone; the woman that brought her into this world thinks she deserve it - who is out there that would want to help her out of this situation?

According to the state there wasn’t enough evidence to prosecute him plus, since the incident happened on the military premises the military police were to be the ones that needed to press charges. They let him go and the the military let him return to the house again. At this point she didn’t care about herself. She had no family and no money. All she cared about was her children and making sure that they were safe, which is a hard thing to do since she was unable to use the phone because he walked around the house with the cordless in his pocket and will put it in the car while he was at work so she couldn’t call for help. She had no money because he had all the checks, ATM cards, credit cards; everyday she woke up it was a blessing because she was able to see another day.

The Military order him to go to anger management classes and he leaves work to “attend” but (he never make it to the sessions). He said he wanted to change and for a period of few months he did, things were no punches, no bruises, they started to attend church, and spend family time together. She got pregnant (on the pill), he received a phone call from Puerto Rico where they were originally from with bad news his nephew/godson was going to be taken away from his mother and placed in foster care if no one from the family wanted to be responsible for him. They talk and agree to bring the child to live with them. He goes to pick him up, it was really exciting for their kids, and while he went and picked him up the rest of the family went shopping for winter cloth for him and a bedroom set so he had his own things when he arrived. Angel went to up-state NY to live with his new family, the 3 kids were happy but soon the screaming and yelling started all over, only now was there was one more child in the house but she was pregnant again. Angel grows very close to his new family, so close he call his godfather's wife Mom and the kids brother and sister…Angel never had a brother or a sister and he sits with his new mom and tells her "I'm going to be the man of the house and I'm going to take care of all of you". (He was the older among the children) He use to rub his moms belly and say “It will be okay baby”.

One day his “dad” started yelling and he took the rest of the kids into the room and close the door. Dad had mom by the neck and had the water in the tub running and he kept screaming "I should’ve have done this a long time ago". Angel started screaming to leave his mommy alone and he lets go of mom to push Angel out of the bathroom. Mom is afraid that he was going to hurt him and runs out of the bathroom, tired of all the abuse, and reaches for dads gun. When he reached for he,r Angel jumped in the way and dad gave him a deadly blow to his head. Mom grabbed the gun and pointed at him and said “Self defense its not murder” and made him give her the phone. She called the police while pointing at him - his own gun! Mom runs to Angel just to find out that he was not breathing. When police and paramedics arrive at the house they pronounce him dead.

The Military Police remove the man, the woman, the kids and the body of Angel from the house. Kids were put in foster care while they conducted investigations, because according to the Military Police, they didn’t had any records of previous disturbances. Thankfully she had copy of all the paperwork and records from hospital or God knows what would’ve happened. Her father, the kids grandfather, requested custody of the children while they clear moms name. A new baby is born 4 months later healthy and okay, just like Angel said, but her dad had to pick him up from the hospital before social services took him too.

Mom fought tirelessly the military, the department of children and families, and all the people that wanted to make it impossible for her to get on her feet. Wanting to give up many times, tempted to start using alcohol and drugs, with suicidal thoughts because she didn’t only loose Angel, she lost her other kids to the state. Her home that was impounded for evidence; for her there was nothing else she could loose. She stayed strong! Eventually she got custody back of the 2 oldest but by the time they were able to clear her name, the baby was almost a year old and the only mom and dad he knew were his grandparents, so for the childs well being they decided that it was best for them to adopt him.

Her Prince charming was found guilty of murder, 2 counts of aggravated assault, 1 attempted homicide against mom, and he is serving 25 years in Ft. Leavenworth (Military Prison). She knows the pain of losing a child; she knows that the physical pain is nothing compared to the emotional pain that domestic violence cause and how it can scar you for life if you allow it to. Angel’s death is the reason why she and her kids are alive today and she has a testimony to share.

This is the story of Edca, a survivor of domestic violence. She is 33 years old, owns couple clothing stores, and is a talent manager with a company that meets the needs for the entertainment business. The reason why she is sharing part of her story with us is because you, your sister, your mother, your friend, your co-worker, your neighbor can be dealing with domestic violence.

Domestic Violence is not an addiction, it is not contagious but it is embarrassing and full of shame and can be deadly for the person that is in the situation. You can save a life today by letting someone know that no matter how bad it is or how much they love the person they are with, it is not safe for them and for their children.

Domestic violence don’t discriminate. It happens to rich people as well as poor, white, black, asian, latino it doesn’t matter, it affect us all. There is help, and there is hope. Edna has seen abusers that change, but they need to recognize first that they have a problem and they need to seek help. It is a process that can be lengthy and frustrating. Victims, Edna has been there; saw death closer than a lot of you hopefully never have to. Its not easy but there is help, but you have to give the first step and want to fix the situation.

Unfortunately she had to go though tragedy to be offered help. She has met thousands of women with stories similar to hers and worse, and they have come out of that situation and have started over and today they are successful. She has also met women that have said, "Its not that bad, and it will get better". that are no longer with us. She is here today because a seven year old, Angel, her Angel is no longer with her. Domestic Violence took him from her. She didn’t know anyone that could help, anyone that wanted to help. She wasn’t aware of all the programs and help available to help the domestic violence victims nationwide, but now she is and is sharing them here. If you need help, she here as well as thousands of women nationwide that are willing to help, that are willing to walk by your side during those difficult times, and be there for you after the storm has passed….Thank you for taking the time and allowing me to share my story. God Bless and keep you safe!!!

Tune into Blog Talk Radio's Three Wise Girls show on Thursday August 5 at 12pm EST to hear from Edca - and find out that you are not alone...
Please feel free to contact Edna anytime, she is available to support any programs or individuals, she is a guest speaker, there for interviews, and most importantly, to help and wants the help…

Rebroadcast - Goodbye Natalie - Goodbye Splendour

"Venus make her fair, I love the girl with sunlight in her hair,

and take the brightest stars up in the skies, and place them in her eyes for me....."

Frankie Avalon Tribute to Natalie Wood

In November 1981, A beautiful legendary Hollywood star was lost forever. But the mystery behind Natalie Wood's death lingers on. Just when one thinks it's been closed forever as an accidental drowning, new information seems to surface.

Even the day of her death is debated. Most accounts state that Natalie died on November 29, while other accounts state she died November 28.

Marti Rulli and Dennis Davern are making it their mission to get the truth out into the open concerning the actual events leading up to her shocking and untimely death. Marti is the author of "Goodbye Natalie Goodbye Splendour" and Dennis was the boat captain onboard the Splendour at the time of Natalie's death.

In fact, Dennis was the only other person on board that night, along with Natalie, her husband and actor Robert Wagner, and actor Christopher Walken.

In the book, Marti and Dennis suggest that the police investigation was insufficient, that the parties involved received special treatment because of their celebrity status, and that a grave injustice occurred when Natalie's death was brushed aside as an accidental drowning.

There were many unanswered questions. Why were the bruises found on Natalie never recorded in the official autopsy? Why did Wagner wait to radio ashore that Natalie was missing from the boat? Why wouldn't he allow Dennis to use the boat light which would certainly had help in the immediate search?

"Goodbye Natalie Goodbye Splendour" is a detailed account of events that led to the mysterious death of Natalie Wood. It is a story told by a haunted witness, Dennis Davern. Those of us of a specific generation remember hearing about the death of Natalie, and may even remember the details that were given out by the media. Now it is time to hear the story from the man who was actually on board that night, and has been living with the guilt that he somehow failed Natalie by not coming forward at the time with what really happened.

Marti Rulli and Dennis Davern are so driven to finally get the truth out to the public, that they have created a petition to have the case reopened. For more information concerning the petition go to: www.gopetition.com/petitions/natalie-wood.html

For more about Marti Rulli: http://www.martirulli.blogspot.com/

"Goodbye Natalie Goodbye Splendour" is available at www.amazon.com and Barnes and Noble

Join us on Thursday, July 8, 2010, for a rebroadcast of this amazing show at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/threewisegirls at 12:00 pm EST., as we talk to both Marti and Dennis concerning what really happened prior to Natalie Wood's death, and how the truth to what happened took on a very distorted spin with the help of the misinformed media, bad police investigating, and Hollywood influence.

As Tim tells, it, he was discovered at the side of a road, at the age of 3 years old, by a family of opossum. Apparently, the opossum raised him as their own and according to him, taught him valuable lessons .... like hanging from a tree.

Tim will also be discussing his hilarious book "My Vow of Silence, the Roughest Three Minutes of My Life.", his current movie release, "The Class of 91", and his upcoming production, "Stone Angels", base on the life of William Edmondson.

TV and Radio Legend Joe Franklin Joins the Conversation!

What can we say about Joe Franklin? His TV show ran for 40 consecutive years and, in many ways, he was the pioneer of the TV Talk Show Format! One of TV and Radio's most beloved personalities ever, Joe has interviewed more than 300,000 people and still counting. Our own Linda Alexander is in that still counting number! Stars like Dustin Hoffman, Liza Minnelli, and Barbara Streisand to name a few had their first exposure on the Joe Franklin Show. What made this show different was that you could have one of the biggest stars in the world sitting next to the lady on the corner that made paper dolls, because Joe talks to everyone. This unique combination is what made the Joe Franklin Show a late night staple for 4 decades. Now you can hear him daily on Bloomberg Radio's Lifestyles segment.



This is Joe Franklin today. This is the smile that greets you as you walk through his office filled with memorabilia from days gone by. Having spent countless hours in that office, sharing a chicken salad sandwich and a cup of tea with Joe, my time with him is so precious to me. He is so sweet and always tells me that I remind him of a young Dorothy Lamour. I want to paint the picture of what you see when you walk in... Joe Franklin's office is filled, floor to ceiling with collectables, and he knows where each item is. There is a path to his desk and 5 chairs where his "guests" sit as they visit this wonderful man, much like the talk show format he knows and loves. His visitors range from upcoming new performers hoping he can open doors for them to stars from days gone by, authors old and new, stuntmen, photographers and the guy that sells hot dogs from the cart on the corner. No matter who they are or where they came from, all of us love hearing the stories that he tells about the stars of yesteryear, as he is sitting behind his desk answering a phone that never stops ringing. Ask him about an actor or singer or dancer and you will be amazed at his knowledge. In fact, Joe Franklin is one of the foremost authorities on nostalgia. He began collecting ephemera in the early days of his show - asking guests for something to remember them by - and his collection just keeps on growing. Throughout the years one thing has never changed, people love talking to Joe Franklin and he loves talking to them!

This wonderful man will be joining the Three Wise Girls conversation on the Three Wise Girls Blog Talk Radio Show June 24, 12pm EST as will Paul Petersen who, when he found out that Joe Franklin was going to be on our show, wanted to stop by to say hello to the man that had him on his show when he was just starting out, too! We hope that you will join us for this show and, all we can say, is get ready to sit back and enjoy or call us at 347 994 3835 and be part of the conversation. We would love to hear your show ideas and feedback, so please email us at threewisegirls@gmail.com, follow us on Twitter and join our Facebook fan page.

Laura Wagner, Film Critic/Film Writer: “And Then I Watched….”

Laura Wagner is resident film critic for Classic Images, the celebrated and iconic tome that is everything classic films. An avid movie watcher from her youngest years, Laura would take notes on movies—titles, actors, dates, other details. She had a notebook, she says, and each time she re-watched a movie, and she did that a lot, she’d review what she’d written, and mark off that she’d seen a movie again. During school lunch, every day, she’d read movie books. At home, once she’d done her homework, she’d read more movie books … and at quite a young age, she started to CORRECT some of the mis-information in some of these movie books.

So begins the story of someone who’s lived and breathed movies most of her life. There’s virtually nothing Laura Wagner can’t recall about a movie. So it was that when she began reviewing movies for Classic Images years ago, she became quite the sensation in classic movie fandom. She also reviews books on the market about industry people—actors, producers, directors, collections and collectors … you name it—the wildly famous all the way down to the barely-known.

Laura knows them all, and she knows their works. Say her name, and anyone who knows anything about the industry knows who it is you are talking about. If you’re an author who’s written a book on classic entertainment—depending on whether Laura liked your book or didn’t—you either shake in your boots or bow at her feet. Her recently-released 2nd book, Let Me Tell You How I Really Feel: The Uncensored Book Reviews of Classic Images’ Laura Wagner takes what she did for her Classic Images “Book Talk” column and removes all the buffers. This is no-holds-barred Laura—and that’s always entertaining. Her first book was Killer Tomatoes: Fifteen Tough Film Dames.

The Three Wise Girls chat with Laura on Thursday, June 7, 2010 from noon - 1 PM EST about her reviews, as well as her more outlandish “outtakes.” In her own words, “Because of space limitations, language or editorial changes, some of my columns have been altered for publication. After all, Classic Images is a family paper....”

Laura doesn’t save herself from her detractors, either. When she hasn’t liked something, she has said so, and often she has heard back from those on the other side of her page. Her book takes this into account by including some hate mail she’s received over the years.

Join us for a conversation you’re not soon to forget. Classic films, producers, directors, authors, actors—the well-known in addition to the obscure … and maybe YOU … no one is safe. Listen in to hear what Laura Wagner REALLY thinks. Call in and share your thoughts: 347-994-3835. Visit the Three Wise Girls Chat Room ... or just listen in.

Jason's Last Ride-The Truth About Trucking

On Thursday March 5, 2009, Jason Rivenburg pulled his truck into a gas station that has been used frequently, and considered to be somewhat safe. Jason was only twelve miles from his destination, but could not make delivery because it was too early. His delivery never took place. Jason was shot and killed as he rested in his truck. Jason leaves behind a young son and a wife who gave birth thirteen days after Jason was killed.

It's a fact that if truck stops were required to provide adequate lighting, cameras and if delivery sites provided secure waiting areas crimes of this nature could be prevented. It's also a fact that they aren't required to do so.

Jason's case is not an isolated event. Stories just like this one are emerging everyday, and it's time the general public took note. Anyone thinking that this isn't a problem that affects us all, needs to walk into the local Target, Walmart, or food store and imagine what it would it be like with empty shelves. It is easy to talk for granted that those shelves will always be stocked, without considering the men and women truckers who are literally putting their lives in danger to make sure family and food clothes on their back.

Hope Rivenburg, Jason's wife, will be joining the Three Wise Girls at Blog Talk Radio this Thursday, June 10, 2010, at 12:00 pm EST, to tell her story. We will also be talking about bill HR 2156-Jason's Law, which is seeking safer and more secure places for Truckers to pull over and rest, without putting their lives in jeopardy.

Joining Hope and The Three Wise Girls, Debbie, Dori, and Linda, are Desiree Wood, a well-known Trucker Driver who writes blogs concerning the real life of Truckers, especially women Truckers, and Deva Hoffman, a self-defense expert with some advise and tips for Truckers to keep them safe.

A Conversation with Paul Petersen

Child star, pop singer, writer, spokesman and child rights activist Paul Petersen has many talents. A good chunk of America watched Paul grow up on “The Donna Reed Show” from age 12 to 20 (1958-1966) on ABC every Thursday night playing Jeff Stone. He became the dreaded Bubble Gum Star, complete with hit records, screaming fans, fast cars and faster women. He had a lot of fun in an era when you could understand the words to popular music and sex couldn’t kill you.

He worked quite a bit before the Donna Reed Show, rising up from the debacle of being a Fired Mouse at age 9 to perform in national commercials, then gradually moving into more important roles on classics like “Playhouse 90,” “Lux Video Theater,” and “Ford Theater.” These led to movies, and by 1957 he co-starred in the much-loved “Houseboat” with Cary Grant and Sophia Loren, which led directly to The Donna Reed Show.

After the eight year, 276 episode ‘run’ of The Donna Reed Show he worked on a string of movies and television shows (“Happiest Millionaire,” “Journey to Shiloh,” “Time For Killing,” “Something for a Lonely Man,” “Gidget Grows Up” and more, but each year the work grew less and less. The handwriting was on the wall. He made some terrible choices in his 20’s…drugs, alcohol, bad people and worse associations…and eventually realized that Mickey Rooney’s advice (“Get out of town for at least 25 years, Paul”) was absolutely correct. There is little room in Hollywood for “former kid stars.” He made the move back to Connecticut and began a new adventure. Simon & Schuster gave him a chance to prove himself as a writer, and after 16 published books, he considers himself an author…when he's not being an advocate for working children everywhere they labor.

A Minor Consideration- his not-for-profit organization actually began as a book, but the needs of the kids he grew up with and admired soon showed him that it was more important to actually DO something about the problems rather than just collect and record the stories. The death by suicide of Rusty Hamer (“The Danny Thomas Show”) actually started the organization in January 1990. At the beginning it was just his wife, Rana Platz-Petersen, RN, the current Business Representative of Local 767, IATSE, Studio First Aid, and him. Their early interventions were successful and gradually they drew other “formers” into the foundation. Today there are more than 600 former kid stars involved with AMC. They are all in “Trivial Pursuit.”

A partial list of the accomplishments of AMC can be found on the website, www.minorcon.org. AMC is pursuing an ambitious legislative program with successful landmark legislation passed in five states, and is committed to ending the exemption to federal child labor standards suffered by children in the Entertainment Business found in the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938. The rules for working children should be the same everywhere, and their protection a societal guarantee.

All of us have read the Disclaimer at the end of movies that says, “No animal was killed or injured in the making of this film.” AMC thinks that sort of Disclaimer ought to apply to children, too. Don’t you?

The very same character traits that resulted in Paul being Fired from The Mickey Mouse Club (for Conduct Unbecoming a Mouse) back in 1955 are, for better or worse, still present in the man he has become, turning 65 years old and now known as a leading advocate for the rights of working children. Time Magazine calls him “the predatory spokesman for kid actors” and rightly so, because when there is “trouble” he shows up.

Paul currently the AFTRA Chair of the Young Performers Committee, a credentialed Delegate at the United Nations for the World Safety Organization charged with improving the welfare of 250 million children who go to work everyday, a past Board-member of SAG and a sitting National and Local Board Member of AFTRA. He sits on the Board of the Fender Museum, and the Center for Improved Child Caring, as well as the American Foundation for Drug Prevention, and the Child Labor Coalition.

Amazingly, Paul Petersen is the Three Wise Girls guest caller on June 3, 2010 at noon Est. He will be talking with co-hosts Dori DeCarlo, Debbie Barth and Linda Alexander about his amazing accomplishments.
