ABOUT ME:   A guy who loves radio and music.   I blame my childhood (like everyone else ;-)
Honestly, music and radio has been a part of my whole life. My mom is a cousin of singer
Lisa Stansfield. I remember fishing trips complete with 8 tracks and non-stop tunes from
Orleans, and the Starland Vocal Band. At home, I often 'borrowed' vinyl from my dad. Cliff
Richard, and Three Dog Night being my favorite targets.

LIKES: Bon Jovi. Def Leppard. Jason Aldean. Keith Urban. Megadeth. Metallica. AC-DC
Hinder. Saliva. Sara Evans. Daughtry. David Guetta. Gary Moore. Montgomery Gentry.
Pitbull. Nirvana. Motley Crue. Sixx:AM. 3 Doors Down. U2. Buddy Guy. Robert Johnson.
Brantley Gilbert. Sammy Hagar. Van Halen. My much better half, Tawnia. My daughter,
Jayda, my step-son Kevin, my cat....and, getting away from it all, for the tranquil back 40,
loud tunes, and fishing!

DISLIKES: Vegetables. Sweet Potatoes. Fender benders. Anyone who judges people without
really knowing them. In this business, there are alot of shallow people who base their opinions
on second hand information. After 15 years, it's the BIGGEST issue I have with humanity. It may
sound over-sensitive, but, I do believe we have to treat each other better. We're not here for a
long time! Life's too short to worry about crap that doesn't matter!

Thanks for listening to our stations. You can catch me on-air at KIX FM weeknights
6-10pm and every now and then, I fill in when needed. Of course, you can reach me
via the usual channels:

Van Halen Up Close...(February 8, 2012)

Anticipation building for this Van Halen Reunion with
David Lee Roth. Before they get on with the music, check
out this video of the guys and their cherished memories:

What's the Point? (February 7, 2012)

Not sure what these two nimrods were thinking, but I
have a feeling they 'really' thought riding a Rhino in a
zoo would be a good idea. You really have to be 'wacked'
on something to think it's a good idea. The best part
is the end, when.....NOTHING happens. It's not a
wild Rhino moron!

Myths Debunked! (January 25, 2012)

Okay, this week we're dealing with the approaching solar
flares, and all the stories that come with them. Last week,
it was mysterious sounds. Let's debunk some myths
before we all become a bunch of hypochondriacs:

Sour Kid (January 17, 2012)

DISCLAIMER: No baby was harmed or injured or
anything dastardly during the filming of this video. I'm
pretty sure the poor kid's tastebuds were doing
somersaults, though!!

Be Honest...who 'doesn't like Hand Jives? (January 11, 2012)

Okay, the Irish can do it best, but if you watch a few times
YOU can do it, too:

Name That TV Tune (January 5, 2012)

Okay tv addicts, and music addicts; time for Name That
Tune. Talented bunch of dudes decide to slam together
a whole boat load of tv themes into a two minute piece.
Can you name them all?

100 Years Reviewed In 10 Minutes! (January 3, 2012)

Well, when I first decided to post this, I thought the idea
would be great. Why not? 100 years of footage in about
10 minutes? Problem is - - once you watch it, it becomes
apparent whoever created this fixated on a lot of bad
in our world. Disclaimer: The past 100 years have NOT
been this bad. We've done a lot of good things. Use your
own filter when watching.

North Korea Loves Their Bon Jovi! (Wednesday December 21, 2011)

Couple of nights ago, we were talking about the celebrity
death hoaxes of the past year. Jon Bon Jovi was a
victim this week. When you get a wide open internet
society and closed off Communist Population together,
you get....overreaction to a rumor!

Kanye kicks out an entire section from his concert! (December 19, 2011)

Kanye West kicks an entire section out. This guy is a
wingnut. Does he realize he's a goof? I doubt it. The
dollars roll in, and the rest of the world rolls off...his back:

Who's starring in this video anyway? (December 14, 2011)

This scenario is not 'exactly' what high school boys
are referring to when they talk about 'bags' and such:

Is it Long Distance to my crib? (November 29, 2011)

Now here's a kid who keeps a close eye on his parents.
Or her parents (I honestly can't tell). Check out the
motions this munchkin goes through with a cell phone:

Alpine Coaster (November 28, 2011)

For anyone who loves 'thrills', this is amazing. And,
provided another terrific idea for Ski Hills during the
summer months! Although, east of the Rockies, it
could be tough to find anything with these sort of
altitudes....

Baby loves to Hip n Hop! (November 14, 2011)

When it comes to hip hop, I have my faves. Notorious
BIG is one of them. I believe this baby could be on
the right track to a 'great taste in music'. Biggie's like
pablum to this kid:

Get him to a circus tent! (November 10, 2011)

Not exactly sure if this dog was hit by a piece of space
junk, or dropped down a flight of stairs when it was
born, but it's weird. Just weird:

One fine Halloween Shack... (October 25, 2011)

To celebrate Halloween, one home owner got very
creative. This guy is good. His lights and house were
designed around LMFAO's "Party Rock Anthem". You
have to see this to believe it:

Aw, Shoot, that wasn't funny...(Friday, October 21 2011)

I have to say, when I watched this video for the first time
I was angry. Then I laughed. I was angry because there
are some people who know how to use guns and will
treat them with respect. This guy is a complete moron:

Proof of Technology's Evolution with the Human Mind (October 18, 2011)

Okay, depending on where you live, there is an argument
when it comes to 'exactly' who is using computers, and
'exactly' how young are we teaching kids to use this
stuff. It's all reflected right here. See what happens
when an infant goes 'back' to magazines after being
'trained' on the Ipad:

Go on...Get Lost (October 13, 2011)

I'll be talking about this one on the show tonight. If there
were one place on earth you could get lost in, where
would it be? I'm betting you wouldn't call 911 to get
out! Here's what happened when a family got lost
in a corn maze:

You Thought The Shake Weight Was Bad... (October 5, 2011)

SOOOOO Ridiculous. Another 'fitness' company
preying on those desperately seeking vanity. Cuz,
quite frankly, there is nothing healthy about this
latest gadget. Not only that, but it looks ridiculous.

Wait! Which one of you Did I Propose To? (October 4, 2011)

Going to Disney for a honeymoon can be a pretty cool
idea. How about organizing a Flash Mob and then
proposing to your fiance IN the crowd?

They Do Grow Up (September 28, 2011)

Another cute viral vid with animals. They are so very
cute when they are young. Especially bear cubs. But
like anything else, I can't help but imagine a Big Ol'
Mama bear waiting right behind the tree for some
dumb human to make their first mistake. DON'T
PET THE CUBS.

The Biggest Thing On Earth...Ever! (September 15, 2011)

A pod of Blue Whales spotted off the West Coast. Near
Redondo Beach last month. These things are one of
our biggest mysteries. Just spectacular. The heart is
bigger than a small car.

Looking for a Job? (September 8, 2011)

If you have guts, you could always try this guy's gig:
testing bullet proof glass. Yipeee. Fun times!!!

Not your Everyday Superhero (September 7, 2011)

You like batman? Great, you can play along with this
vid:

If You Get Really Bored This Long Weekend (September 3, 2011)

Jimmy Fallon has a twisted & simple sense of humor.
Believe it or not, you can learn from him. For example,
there is a World Record for...Pizza Slapping. Now you
know! And, perhaps something to 'gun' for if you're
really bored this long weekend. Enjoy!

Missing Something in your closet? (September 1, 2011)

In case you're thinking somewhere along the line you
missed a trend, or a new pair of slacks, this one's for
you. A London clothing store turns 100, and they've put
together a short vid that displays 100 years of fashion
all blended together. Kinda neat, if you like shopping:

Back to School...for what? (August 31, 2011)

Alot of kids are back to school this week. Here's one
youngster who's ahead of her time. Just send her off
to Journalism school:

Yay for Football Season....(July 27, 2011)

Now that NFL Lockout's been rectified, here's a great
viral vid showing the evolution of the 'touchdown dance':

Actor tackles Wisdom Teeth Vid (August 30, 2011)

After the famous viral "Wisdom Teeth" video on Youtube,
a professional actor tries embarking on his own virus...
I mean, viral dental vid. Silly? Yes. But viral nonetheless:

Insufficient THIS..... (August 29, 2011)

If a high heeled shoe can get this woman's money out
of the ATM, I don't ever wanna be kicked by one. It's
ATM vs High Heels:

Hear the one about the Tractor & The Turtle? (August 25, 2011)

Thought this was interesting, cuz, well, didn't know
turtles actually moved that fast!!!

Technology In Absence (August 23, 2011)

Not saying it was an excuse, but this woman's pal
decided to show up at the wedding via Ipad. The
Wi-Fi Wife seemed to be pleased:

Is that......A DISCMAN??? (August 19, 2011)

This is great. I worked with a guy who looked exactly
like this dude. The guy you DON'T want to sit beside
on the bus at 8am during rush hour:

All Hit Music
Midnight - 6am
