Born and raised in Hannibal, Missouri...I stopped maturing at age 12 and I have the radio show to prove it. Authorities found me at age 19 in a corner talking to myself...so they decided to give me a pair of headphones, a microphone and a brand new room (with padded walls) for me to talk to myself in...and they called it radio...and that brings us to today. I have been torturing (I mean "entertaining") listeners for 29 years and have been fortunate to win many Missouri Broadcaster awards along the way...which just proves how much everyone else sucks. Truth is I have the best radio listeners in the world who treat me better than any human being could possibly deserve. And that special relationship we have will continue...at least until K-Mart starts hiring again.

The Great and Wonderful Fear of Clowns
I have never completely understood the fear of clowns. (Coulrophobia for you future Jeopardy contestants) Personally, I have a fear of trying to spell that word. My oldest son, Brandon, would never admit it now but he used to be terrified of clowns. That's why I would often find clown puppets to hide in his crib. Wonder why I never won father of the year?

Thanksgiving Food Throwdown: Which Is Your Favorite?
Thanksgiving is fast approaching. In fact, you can probably hear shrieks of terror from folks who have drawn the short straw and are now responsible for cooking the feast. For those of us who have no cooking skills whatsoever and have been excused from any real responsibility, our focus is on which favorite food we'll go after first.

That's why I'm excited about the "Walk Of 10,000 Cookies" event at Union United Methodist Church 1101 State Street in Quincy on December 1st from 7am till noon. If the thought of browsing a bazillion (slight exaggeration) cookies all dressed up in a holiday display sounds good to you, better make plans to be
When Would You Like Us To Start Playing Christmas Music? [POLL]
We need your help. (What's new, right?) We want your input on when we should start playing Christmas music. It seems every year there's a big conflict between people that want it all the time and those that don't want it at all. At KICK-FM, we're very susceptible to peer pressure...so you make the call!
What Was Your Favorite Lunchbox When You Were A Kid?
We had a fun discussion on the radio shortly after I returned to KICK last year (a day many people now refer to as "Black Monday") about our favorite lunch boxes we had when we were kids. I started and (as usual) never successfully completed my quest to obtain the Evel Knievel lunchbox from my childhood.
Happy Veterans Day
Happy Veterans Day. If you're a retired veteran or in active duty, thanks. The fact that I can do absolutely nothing today would not be possible without your service. I can sit around and watch the Nascar race today and complain about my driver not being a factor because of you. So many things that I take for granted would not be possible if not for veterans.
