TUESDAY WITH JEANNIE WEENIE

In case you missed it...

• Rosie's longtime friend Jeannie (weenie) Kopetic sat in on today's show. Rosie told a story about how tired she was because she hung out and played poker with Tyne Daly last night. Rosie, Tyne, Samantha Bee, Katie Finneran, and Natasha Lyonne all performed in Love Loss and What I Wore last month at the Westside Theater in New York City.

• Rosie will have a Sirius/XM expert on once a week to answer your questions.

• Jeannie talked about her weekend and how she went on a Metro Limousine Wine Tour to the Long Island wineries. Jeannie is a speech therapist for pre-school aged children for the Nassau County department of Health in New York. She said watching the documentary The Horse Boy and listening to the interview yesterday with the father in the film has completely changed her way of connecting with the autistic children she works with. Jeannie called the documentary "life-altering."

• Rosie mentioned how she and Blake's speech therapist Lois Kam Heymann have written a book called "The Sound of Hope - Recognizing, Coping With, and Treating Your Child's Auditory Processing Disorder" which is set to be released on April 27th, 2010. Pre-order your copy HERE!

• Jeannie was wearing Rosie's Eileen Fisher clothes but still prefers her Lane Bryant and Avenue clothes to Eileen.

• Rosie read some of the negative responses she's been getting regarding her episode last week highlighting Popthatzit.com. She was contacted by the men who did the ear wax extraction video she loved and hope to have them as callers on the show sometime soon.

• During the premiere episode Rosie interviewed Lenny who ran the NYC marathon without training. Turns out Lenny has not walked since that interview and he has, in fact, fractured both tibias and is now in a wheelchair from not training for the 26 mile race.

• Rosie spoke to Tony Award winning Ann Reinking who narrated In My Hands, the documentary about the connective tissue disorder Marfan Syndrome. Anne's 19 year old son is afflicted with the disease. Rosie called the documentary "beautiful" and talked to Anne about her son's story as well as about dancing with the legendary Bob Fosse.
