Well, wrapped my season with the @gothrillbillies tonight (they do play Sunday). These are my boyz. Make being in the production booth every night a ton of fun. Most people don’t understand how many it takes to put together and execute a game day after day. This is just the production group. We have our on-field staff, concession, ushers, sales personnel. Thankful for all of them!

“Touch me and you lose a finger.”

So instead of hugs, I offered a respectful nod from across the room.
She still looked offended.

Had a just a great time today with this guy, Pryor Baird. Not only is he a fantastic singer, guitarist and all around good dude, but we learned he can't handle Thai food very well. His current single, "The One Left Behind" is one fantastic song. Really appreciate him and Doug Johnson stopping by the station for our Z100 Radio Roadhouse. We will have the video posted tomorrow. You will not want to miss it.
