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.

Do You Pinterest?
According to the Pinterest website, it's an online pinboard. I'll let you soak that in for a second. Now, if you understand what that means, please explain it to me. This could be my guy DNA talking, but I don't understand why Pinterest is all the rage. On Facebook, I constantly see people "pinning" things on their Pinterest page. The only "pinning" I've ever done was to a frog
My Father-In-Law Was A Mountain Of A Man
I didn't realize it had been nine years, but today is the ninth anniversary of the passing of my father-in-law, John Kelly. One of the great regrets of my life is not getting to know him better. A little back story first. John Kelly is my wife's dad and he was a truck driver much of his life. One other thing to know about John is he is tall. And, I'm not. So imagine meeting your father-in-law-to-b
My Favorite Places I’ll Never Get To Visit
It's Friday. Profound statement of the day (at least by my standards). On a day like Friday when no real work ever gets done, I like to visit places online that unfortunately I'll probably never get to visit in real life. Here are a few of my favorite webcam locations if you care to take a virtual tour with me.

Do You Really Think You Have A Shot With Your Favorite Country Star?
I have to admit I was a bit amazed when I saw the story a few days ago about Jana Kramer getting grief from Brantley Gilbert's female fans. It makes me wonder. Did they really think they had a shot with Brantley? Did Jana Kramer jump in there and steal their thunder? Forgive me while my jaw hits the floor. What about you? Have you ever really believed that your favorite singer might end up...wit
Can I Interest You In A Bugatti?
Sometimes it's fun to fantasize about things I can't afford. If I'm being honest, that includes things like brand name macaroni. But, it definitely includes the car you see pictured above. This is the 2012 Bugatti. If you're not a car person (shame!), this is one of if not the fastest cars in the world.

What’s Your Response To The Election Results?
Now that the election is over, hopefully you're coping OK. I checked out Facebook this morning expecting to see a bunch of happy people and an equal bunch of people who were ticked. (My friends list reads like the Hatfields and McCoys) What I didn't expect to see were many people who are now planning to build doomsday bunkers. (not kidding) That made me think (never a good idea)...what's your
