Born and raised in Spokane Washington, I got my start in radio with a fight in school...Yeah no kidding! On my off time I enjoy spending time with my family and friends.
An ice climber in the U.K. is alive after losing his footing and falling 100 feet down the side of a mountain. And he was wearing a helmet cam, so it's all on video!
The FAA is investigating a "Harlem Shake" video that shows an entire plane full of people doing it.
Mike Hvizdo coached basketball at Weston High School in Weston, Connecticut until a crude video he had acted in 10 years prior surfaced. The school felt the video embarrassed them and discredited the coach, so he was fired. Where did the video come from? A private investigator hired by a parent who's child was not played enough by the coach!
In Ohio, a man is claiming Jesus has appeared...on his car windshield...in a bird poop stain.
People are murdered every day! Why do certain trials catch national media attention and others don't? Maybe we'll never know, but the famous ones seem to have the same elements in common: the murderer, or the victim, or both, are attractive. Here are some top examples from history:
I'm sitting in the studio when a female coworker comes in and asks why I'm not talking about Oscar Pistorius missing bail. Another male coworker and I look at each other: "Why would I?" She says the first thing she does every morning is hops onto a laptop and reads the newest stories about the trial.
Google has 8000 pairs of their new Google Glass goggles that they're ready to dole out...for $1500. You can "apply" for one online and IF you get one - you'll be the coolest kid on the block - not to mention most envied.
The U.S. Postal Service lost $16 billion last year. Here's their latest plan to make some of that money back...and wow, it's out there.
Last year, a guy in Texas set a record by ordering a drink from Starbucks that cost $23.60. That record just got shattered by a guy in Washington.
A Swedish skier triggered an avalanche during a downhill event in Switzerland the other day. So he had to outrun it . . . and did . . . but also decided to throw in a backflip.
I watched the State of the Union last night. And when it was time for Florida Senator Marco Rubio to give the Republican response I could hardly watch...because I was grossed out!
Someone decided to hack into the EAS in Montana yesterday to warn residents of a zombie attack! It aired on the CW network, and claimed that "the bodies of the dead were rising from their graves and attacking the living."
