Do you ever wonder how the likes of Andrew W.K., Lamb of God, andSlipknot can perform night after night without blowing out their vocal chords? Its an art. An art taught by Melissa Cross, the “Queen of the Scream.”
According to Entertainment Weekly: “Cross is a cheery, red-haired, classically trained voice teacher with a peculiar niche: She caters to the most extreme segments of the metal, punk, and hardcore scenes, teaching performers how to growl like grizzlies, bark like pit bulls, and bellow like tortured children of Beelzebub. All without blowing out their vocal cords.”
She’ll join Dr. B, Dangerous Lee and Vinny Bond to teach us all how to scream like a rock star.
Then, the economy may be bad now, but if some scripture is correct, the upcoming Rapture offers a series of amazing opportunities for financial gains for those of us that will surely be left behind.
“Sure, the rivers and seas will run with blood, locusts will swarm, mountains will move all over the place, and famine will strike. But for the five billion of us left behind, the post-Rapture world will be a time of even more unique investment opportunities.”

What do you call a guy whose roommate Clyde kicks him out of their room when he brings a chick home? How about a guy whose super smart roommate Justin beats him down for not standing up for himself? Or a guy whose mother died experimenting with mushrooms in culinary school? And what do you call a guy who lives vicariously through his own blog?
You call him Poor Paul: a new media episodic comedy series following the adventures of Paul, a twenty something, funny and unlucky dreamer who creates outrageous fantasies in order to escape life.

Approximately 60 minutes into this week’s program (click play above), as the Radio Happy Hour was seemingly wrapping up, a listener named Virgie called in.
Though she took the (very) long way around, Virgie informed us of a rare medical condition she was suffering from: Hyperosmia
To prove just how incredibly out of the ordinary Hyperosmia must be, consider this: I was unable to even find a listing for it on the hypochondriac porn site WebMD!
But, as explained by the self described “stub” of an article on Wikipedia, Hyperosmia isan increased ability to smell - for example, being able to identify the perfume of the previous occupant of a chair. It is seen in patients with cluster headaches, migraines, and adrenal cortical insufficiency.
In layman’s terms, Virgie has super smelling abilities. But if the once quality television show Heroes has taught us anything it’s that super powers sometimes can cause more harm than good.
Virgie can’t clean her house without getting sick from the fumes, has to bathe and wash herself several times a day and must steer clear of men who have eaten Mexican Food within 24 hours. Virgie is also able to identify woman who are menstruating just by using her acute olfactory senses.

In an email from another Hyperosmia sufferer, Raechelle Marsh says of Virgie and their shared condition:
First, I think maybe the woman needs to cut down on her valium, or whatever it is she may be drinking with the valium ;-) Poor woman. She does, however, sound very “genuine” about her condition. I can sympathize with the pain of cleaning products.
I’ve never been formally diagnosed with hyperosmia; I ran across the term when composing the blogpost about my acute sense of smell (a friend once told me I had super smell). It’s not a debilitating condition for me; it just makes me high maintenance. I need to request unscented massage oils or ask my sweetie if we can get a different handsoap for the bathroom because the smells are just too strong. People at work thought I was crazy because I kept asking if they were smelling vinegar. Come to find, film (including xray film) emits a vinegar-like odor when it starts to break down, and there were a few boxes of film in the office next to mine. N o one else could smell it, though.
And yes, much like a bloodhound, the acute sense of smell comes in handy. I can smell when my harddrive at work gets too hot, and when milk is too close to it’s expiration date. So I got that goin’ for me.
Renowned BlogTalkRadio Physician Host “Doctor Anonymous” had this to say about Hyperosmia: “Vergie is right in that doctors don’t know much about this condition other than it is a heightened sense of smell.
My advice to Vergie would be to continue to get the word out on Hyperosmia so that we can find a treatment so that she can get better.”
He added, “In my reading, I didn’t find that it’s caused by a brain tumor or worsened by smoking or soaps or detergents. It is associated with migraine headaches and also some psychiatric conditions.”
Who says the Radio Happy Hour isn’t educational? (rhetorical question)
Incidentally, below are two previous DrBlogstein.com entries that I’d ask Virgie (and Raechelle) not to visit:
Hunter, Austin and Meredith, the three guys who make up the popular internet comedy trio The Big Honkin’, join Dr. B and Dangerous Lee.
Based in the DC Metro area, these three classically trained actors currently produce “Defenders of Stan“, the longest running series on Channel 101 NY. They’ve also produced web videos for Warner Brothers and are currently working with on a documentary with Donald Zuckerman Productions, producer of ‘Dogtown and Z-boys’.
In addition to being the self proclaimed “goof ball with a hammer” on this “do it yourself” program, Hunt has also been the ‘Michelin Man‘ since 2002. He also has the portrayal of a condom in a series of AIDS awareness commercials on his resume.

Around the 19:00 mark of last night’s show, Senator John McCain (R-AZ) dialed in sounding upbeat, chipper and somewhat giggly which he admitted was due to him sneaking into his wife Cindy’s medicine cabinet.
“Whatever happens,” he said, “I won’t feel it until Sunday.”
Two minutes later, his opponent, Senator Barack Obama (D-IL), joined McCain on the show, fresh off a basketball game with some neighborhood kids and also feeling positive.
“People say that this is a big day for black people,” Obama said, “but more so it’s a big day for half black people.”
But when the two engaged, it seemed old habits from the campaign trail die hard.The two argued over taxes, celebrity endorsements and fought over who was better friends with Lando Calrissian.
At one point, McCain accused Obama of being a “Sith Lord.”

Eric from New Jersey got all three correct and won a bouquet of CDs courtesy of Shout! Factory .
Eric also taught us the importance of casinos “going green”. Eric owns EMG Green, the only company in the world that designs and manufactures Eco-Friendly casino tables. So I imagine, the next time you visit Vega$ or AC, you may be “betting on green.”

A jam packed hour + with three headliner guests!
First, Dr. B and Dangerous Lee welcome Kato Kaelin to the show.
Kato, obviously best known as OJ Simpson’s guest house tenant at the time of Nicole Brown Simpson’s and Ronald Goldman’s murder, is now on a Fox Reality Channel reality show, Gimme My Reality Show, in which he’s competing to have his own reality show.
We’ll find out what he’s been up to since testifying in the original OJ Simpson trial, whether he’s finally got his own place to live and whether being on a reality show to win a reality show may finally signal that they’ve run out of ideas in Hollywood.
Then, speaking of trials, we have a guest who’s presided over plenty of them and won an Emmy Award for it: Judge Cristina Perez. The stunning host of TV’s Cristina’s Court returns to the Radio Happy Hour to let us know how life has changed since being the first Emmy recipient for a TV court show.
But wait, there’s more! Radio Jesus brings the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the The Last Patriot, Brad Thor, with him to interview legendary Hollywood producer and writer David Zucker.
The genius behind such classics as Airplane! and Naked Gun will talk about his latest controversial release An American Carol starring Kevin Farley.
