About Me


We're a talk radio show on AM 970 - Solid State Radio... and we are awesome. Kind of. Not really.

We've been fired and rehired too many times to count.

We don't like hugging.

We love you.

My Interests

babbling incessantly about meaningless bits of pop culture trivia, gossiping about Whitney Houston and her 'drug-fueled, lesbian sex romps', speculating over whether or not Katie Holmes did, in fact, have freak Tom Cruise's baby, bike-riding, video-gaming, consuming adult beverages, going to shows, talking about scantily clad females and guys who like to make out (for Sarah to watch)

I'd like to meet:


Folks who are looking for something local & and moderately intelligent (okay, not really, we talk about Star Wars & Britney Spears) to listen to... while you're driving around, stuck in a cubicle, whatever you're doing, make our annoyingly unfocused yet endlessly entertaining show part of your work day. 970 AM. Eleven to Three.

Oh, and we'd like to meet Lorna Doodash. And Scott Klank, the cornhole king.
