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.

Are We In Dixie?
It all started when I had a friend call in a request for "Christmas In Dixie" by Alabama. My friend thinks he's in Dixie. It reminded me of the age-old argument about whether Missouri is really a "southern" state...in Dixie. I'm not the only one to ask this question recently. Let's consider the following facts:

If Lions Go Extinct, I’m Going Chuck Norris On Someone
I'm not normally a soft, emotional type. Nor am I a member of PETA. In fact, I'm on a low-carb diet, so any animal that I see gets nervous. But, I saw a story yesterday that nearly broke my heart. Lions are not far from extinction. If that's true, I'm going Chuck Norris on whoever is responsible.

Girl Bit By Dolphin Reminds Me Of My Duck Encounter
Did you hear about the young girl who was bit by a dolphin at SeaWorld? I'm not saying that isn't bad, but she should try getting bit by a duck. I have and it's not one of my proudest moments in life.
Stop What You Are Doing Cause The Duchess Is Pregnant
Whatever you are doing, please stop it now. The Duchess is pregnant. That's not my advice, by the way. That seems to be what the press thinks you should do. Of all the incredibly important things happening in the world right now, a British EPT test result is number one. Forgive me if I choose not to abide by this royalty pregnancy preoccupation.
Montgomery Gentry Hanging Out At The Holler And Swaller [UPDATED]
I had a friend tell me a few weeks ago that Montgomery Gentry were coming to town for the annual DOT Foods concert. I was also told it was a secret. For once, I actually managed to keep a secret. It had to happen sooner or later.
I Have Nothing On My Mind Today
Here's breaking news for you. I have nothing on my mind today. Nothing. Nada. Zip. So, why is there a picture of Carrie Underwood? Cause we don't have enough pictures of Carrie Underwood on the website already. (*Feel the sarcasm*)
