Leigh Anne Tuohy called in this morning to promote her family appearing on ABC’s “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” this Sunday night (5/16) at 8PM.  If you have seen the movie “The Blind Side” then you know Leigh Anne is the character that Sandra Bullock played in the movie.  If you haven’t seen this movie yet, it is a MUST SEE!  It’s a great movie to watch alone or with the family.

I want to apologize to the MIKE-FM listeners who posted questions for me to ask Leigh Anne on our Facebook Fan Page, but when I logged in to copy them, Facebook was having some issues and I couldn’t see them.  So, I filled in for you and asked her a few of my own “hard hitting” questions including if she will buy me a Popeye’s Chicken franchise.  I figured that they love to help people so much that why not me?  I would be the best Popeye’s Chicken owner in the world!  And since Leigh Anne and her husband own about 78 Taco Bells, they must have some spare change they can let me have to get this off the ground!

I also chose not to ask her any questions about Sandra Bullock.  The way I see it, Leigh Anne and her family have done some great things and they should be able to get the credit they deserve without being asked questions about things they are not involved in.  Plus, is there really anything else that she could add to this that she hasn’t been asked already or that you haven’t heard or seen in the tabloids and sites like TMZ?

Sometimes people obsess over the gossip and in this case, the Tuohy family just doesn’t have anything to add.  It isn’t like Leigh Anne and Sandra are talking everyday and are BFF’s.  Sandra played Leigh Anne in a movie.  Leigh Anne in real life has an amazing story and continues to do so much for people that I felt this should be about her, her family and what they are doing.  Oh, and like I said, trying to get me a Popeye’s franchise!  I only had 8 minutes with her so I had to make the most of it and my franchise was really key!

Honestly though, I really enjoyed talking with her and think that we can all learn a little from what her family has done for others and continues to do.  So with that, here is a link to the interview: http://www2.937mikefm.com/listen/leigh-anne-tuohy-blindside
