From the late 60s up through the 80s, Church of Satan founder Anton LaVey truly spooked the American public...but turns out, he was just another huckster capitalizing on people's fear in his quest for celebrity...and in his new book, "Born With A Tail" author Doug Brod gives us a look into the boogeyman's life!

We first met Rian Kanouff when he set the record for most naked skydives in a 24 hour period...a feat he did to honor a fallen friend and bring awareness to suicide prevention. Now, since then, he has created Skydive First Project...an "adventure therapy" organization that is helping veterans, 1st responders and others deal with PTSD, depression, anxiety and more through skydiving...and learned all about it today

One of the things we love about our friend, comedian Josh Wolf, is the fact that he never shies away from the truth...which was completely evident in today's conversation. While we were there to talk about his latest special, Four Stories, things took a very serious turn...and what followed was amazingly open, honest and REAL conversation...

We all know Paul Reiser from his work on such series as "My Two Dads" and "Mad About You", and movies like "Aliens" and "Beverly Hills Cop"...but some forget he started his career as a stand up comedian...and it's that experience that has helped him become an amazing storyteller...from telling the story of a fighting family in his new film "The Problem With People" to helping music legend Michael McDonald's tell his life story in his new biography...and we got to talk to Paul about it all this morning.

While the rest of the world knows adult film legend Stormy Daniels from her dealings with a certain famous politician, WE have known her for over 15 years, hanging out with her up at Sturgis...which is why we were happy to catch up with her on the show and talk about her "One Night Stand" tour, traveling the country telling stories in only the way she can...AND she's coming to Atchison KS next month for the Zoinks 2: Ghost Hunt!!

Some people, mostly other comedians, love to make fun of Carrot Top...but the facts speak for themselves... 25 years as a headliner in Vegas...19 of those at The Luxor....thousands and thousands of shows to millions of fans...and a net worth hovering around $70 million...all prove that he's obviously doing something right!!And we were lucky enough to talk to him this morning about his residency, what it's like surviving in Vegas and more!

Welp...we've been doing this game for a long time and...well...today one of the dudes may have been a little more...advanced...than anyone we've had play before. Like...he wasn't just a weekend deviant...he may be ready for the big leagues!!

There are few bands on this station that have a bigger place in our hearts than Halestorm.We've known them since they were teenagers and have watched them carve a path that has seen them becoming one of the most popular bands on the road today!And now they've dropped a brand new single, a collaboration with I Prevail before they hit the road together!We caught up with our dear friend Lzzy Hale this morning and got up to speed with every crazy thing going on in their world

The invasive species of Northern Snakehead Fish are making their way into Missouri and, because we're a media outlet, we need to manufacture fear in our listeners! So we talked to Conservation Agent Jacob Plunkett to find out more about this scourge that's coming for your children! OK, not really.

We first met John Corabi when he was fontman for the band The Scream...and then watched as he replaced Vince Neil in Motley Crue, and all of the headlines and drama than ensued...and through it all, he's the same dude from Philly he's always been...just straight up and reall as f**k 24/7...and now he's back fronting The Dead Daises, they just dropped a new single ("Light 'Em Up") and are heading out on tour...and we got the chance to catch up with him thins morning!

Comedian/Actor nick Swardson is one of our favorite weirdos...and after he made headlines not long ago after a edible-fueled on stage performance ended with him being led offstage, we knew that Nick was...well...still Nick!And we talked to him this morning about that, his upcoming show at the Uptown Theater and more!!!
