I just got a laugh from reading Chris Vanocur's blog on being an honorary Good Things Utah "chick".... and all I can say to Chris and all the rest of you is...

Welcome to my world!

I've been the announcer for Good Things Utah for a little more than a year... but I've also been the "token male" on the show.  Whenever the girls need a male perspective on the issues they discuss.. they turn to Mike McKay for his input.

Not that it does any good.... because I've learned over the weeks and months of being part of the show that it's all about the girls.

Don't get me wrong!  I love being a part of Good Things.  It's a totally different experience from anchoring news and traffic on Good Morning Utah.  It's fun and it's still new.  But I can only describe the whole thing in one way:

It's like drowning.

Seriously.  I've had to learn, you don't fight it.  You don't try to swim against the current.  You just have to take a deep breath... relax... and let the estrogen envelope you.  Then everything's ok.   And let me tell you... it's something only a real man can accomplish!  Suddenly... you're not repulsed by the fact that the main topic of conversation on the show is "kids throwing up in the back seat of your car".... or "look how tan my legs are getting from that new Jergens tanning lotion!". 

 I'm not even phased by Nicea putting her leg behind her head!  At least... not any more.  Reagan can blab about her cracked heels.... Angie can yack about how tough her morning drive was on Bangerter Highway... and Marti can go on and on about how much she loves her dog, Radar.  I can handle it.  It's all good.

It's all Good Things Utah.

Until next time...
