1. If you weren't in radio, where would you be and what would you be doing, professionally?

If I wasn't here, I'd want to work for a label, finding talent. Now that interest will always be there, but since record labels are about a reliable as a condom, with a nail hammered through it, it isn't a reality, right now. I'd also love to be a high school teacher. I know, money isn't important, to me, I guess.

2. Chelsea Handler or Snookie...Which would you rather have as guest co-host for one week?

Absolutely Chelsea Handler. She's hilarious. Snooki is just hilarious LOOKING!

3. What was the last movie you cried at?

City of Angels. That movie F'd me up. Note: Don't call friends, WHILE CRYIN' STILL, and try and tell them about the movie. Always sounds bad!

4. Bruce St. James...ever heard of him? Not too long ago he gave up a promising career as a programmer to move over to host a talk radio show. Have you ever thought about how you would do as a talk host?

I'm not as smart as Bruce, so he's able to tread in that water. Not I, captain.

5. Who is the better cook, you or your wife?

I play poker, I write, and tickle my daughters. Their laughter makes me smile.

9. How did your MD, Brewstaaa get her nickname?

Everyone at the station, has nicknames, since we've all fractured a law or two. She reminded me of Punky Brewster, with the goofy laugh and hippy mentality, and I asked our then MD (Beata), if the intern had been drinking. She said, "the girl is like that, all of the time, and doesn't even drink". Her name was stamped then, Drunky Brewster. She later remixed it to Brewstaaa! LOL!

10. On the run from the law, you are forced to take a job with the circus. What gig would you like to have?

The bearded lady. I already got a nice rack!
