Should be kept well polished!

What happens when the lights go off in the studio?
Nothing half as exciting as when the lights go off in my head!

Does it matter if you're wearing anything during the show?
Yes, some of my guests have been quite surprised…pleasantly, I’d like to imagine…..

One song you shouldn't croon on air?
My ears (and listeners’) say ‘ALL’, but my tongue has a mind of it’s own…which explains why the other one is usually so quiet.

How do you stop a caller from going on and on, on-air?
I answer long questionnaires for the practice.

Does it matter if you're colorblind?
Solution to many of the world's problems lie therein.

One thing a Jock can't do?
Lick his elbow

Your Tagline?

It’s fun knowing that’s you’re trying to lick your elbows even if you’ve read this pricky little fact before.
