Johnny Dare Morning Show Audacy

Billy Gardell is one of a rare class of actors who have had lightning strike twice in their career...first with the success of "Mike & Molly" and then again with "Bob Hearts Abishola"...and now with the latter coming to an end, he's looking toward his next projects...and, knowing Billy like we do, whatever he does is going to be fantastic!

It's Friday.You need some rubber lovin'We provide.You're welcome...you dirty birds.

NASCAR legend Kyle Petty is, in short, the real deal.Not only is he part of NASCAR royalty...but he used his fame to launch an annual cross country charity ride to help children's charities...then, after the passing of his son Adam, he founded Victory Junction, a camp that enriches the lives of kids with serious illnesses.He could easily sit back and rest on his fame in retirement, but he continues to give back...and with his 28th annual ride coming up in a few weeks, we got him on the phone this morning to talk about it!

Yesterday morning we lost a fellow KC radio personality and, more importantly, a friend yesterday when 101 The Fox's Brian "Slacker" Adams passed away after a long and hard fought battle with acute myeloid leukemia.

And no one we've ever known met the challenges he had in front of him with the grace, strength and heart that Slacker displayed.

We paid tribute to our friend this morning...so please take a moment to listen and learn from the many things he taught us.

Any day we get to have an astronaut on the phone is a good day around here...and with the recent story about some space junk falling through the roof of a house in Naples FL, that was a perfect chance to get someone who has plenty of experience with space junk on the phone, retired astronaut Clayton Anderson!!

WWE/NXT star Baron Corbin is always one of our favorite friends to catch up with, bit just because he grew up here...but mostly because, well, he's a bad influence on us...in the most awesome way possible!!
