Allan's guests this week include the authors of the bestseller He's Just Not That Into You, the book based on a popular episode of Sex And The City. It educates otherwise smart women on how to tell when a guy just doesn't like them enough, so they can stop wasting time.
Also this week, Bob Rivers the king of Rock 'N' Roll Parodies; Part 2 of Eric Burdon of The Animals and Open Phones, where the calls are wide open.
He says: Oh sure, they say they're busy. They say that they didn't have even a moment in their insanely busy day to pick up the phone. It was just that crazy. All lies. With the advent of cell phones and speed dialing, it is almost impossible not to call you. Sometimes I call people from my pants pocket when I don't even mean to. If I were into you, you would be the bright spot in my horribly busy day. Which would be a day that I would never be too busy to call you.
She says: There is something great about knowing that my only job is to be as happy as I can be about my life, and feel as good as I can about myself, and to lead as full and eventful a life as I can, so that it doesn't ever feel like I'm just waiting around for some guy to ask me out. And most importantly, it's good for us all to remember that we don't need to scheme and plot, or beg anyone to ask us out. We're fantastic.
For ages women have come together over coffee, cocktails, or late-night phone chats to analyze the puzzling behavior of men.
He's afraid to get hurt again.
Maybe he doesn't want to ruin the friendship.
Maybe he's intimidated by me.
He just got out of a relationship.
Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo are here to say that -- despite good intentions -- you're wasting your time. Men are not complicated, although they'd like you to think they are. And there are no mixed messages. The truth may be he's just not that into you.
Unfortunately guys are too terrified to ever directly tell a woman, "You're not the one." But their actions absolutely show how they feel.
He's Just Not That Into You -- based on a popular episode of Sex and the City -- educates otherwise smart women on how to tell when a guy just doesn't like them enough, so they can stop wasting time making excuses for a dead-end relationship.
Reexamining familiar scenarios and classic mindsets that keep us in unsatisfying relationships, Behrendt and Tuccillo's wise and wry understanding of the sexes spares women hours of waiting by the phone, obsessing over the details with sympathetic girlfriends, and hoping his mixed messages really mean "I'm in love with you and want to be with you."
He's Just Not That Into You is provocative, hilarious, and, above all, intoxicatingly liberating. It deserves a place on every woman's night table. It knows you're a beautiful, smart, funny woman who deserves better. The next time you feel the need to start "figuring him out," consider the glorious thought that maybe he's just not that into you. And then set yourself loose to go find the one who is.
Also this week it's Bob Rivers, the King of Rock Parodies. Except for a quick stint as a rock star, Bob has been a Rock radio veteran for 23 years.

Also this week, Part 2 of Allan's recent interview with Rock legend Eric Burdon.
House Of The Rising Sun was the first of many hits for this Hall Of Famer. Eric Burdon was ripped off by agents and record companies, hounded by police and framed for a crime he didn't do. This will be one of the few radio interviews he has granted in years. His best selling book, Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood is now in paperback. Burdon says, "This book is about the journey from the morning the Animals recorded the song that would make us famous to the day, more than thirty years later, that I stepped through the doors of the real House of the Rising Sun. It's also about the life I've led on the road since 1962, a life filled with such extraordinary memories that sometimes, looking back, I wonder if they really occurred." Here's just some of Eric Burdon's hits with The Animals and WAR: House Of The Rising Sun, Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood, We've Gotta Get Out Of This Place, It's My Life, San Franciscan Nights, When I Was Young, Don't Bring Me Down, Monterey, Spill The Wine, Sky Pilot and many others.
He has two new albums out, a new re-mastered greatest hits package called called "The Animals." These are the "original" hits --- from the Animals first three albums released in 1964 & 1965 with all of the original Animals' line up (Burdon, Chandler, Price, Steel and Valentine) performing. Eric's latest solo album is called My Secret Life.
