Brett Here! I'm the "B" in The CB Radio Show from 6-9am every weekday. I've been in the radio world for about 7 years now and it's been a ride ever since I ripped the microphone on for the first time. When I started working in radio in high school I had no clue that I would make a career out of it... Believe it or not.... I wanted to be a dentist when I was in high school. Another path led me here and I think it was a good decision. I grew up in Ohio and moved to Kentucky in early 2013 and started working with my new peeps here at the station. They call me old man because I drive a big Cadillac and back into my parking spot.... but oh well. I'll deal

Michigan Is Going to Start Pulling People Over for Driving in the Outside Lane
I see this problem all the time here in Kentucky. Now I know that you don't ever do it but it seems every single time that I pull out onto Frederica, Carter or West Parrish I have to sit in the middle to wait for traffic to clear before I merge onto the road. Michigan is planning to stop this.

Remember when General Motors recalled everyone's car for having an ignition switch issue? It was an insane amount of cars. The number topped one hundred million cars in the United States and across the ocean. Without thinking properly... I bought one of them.
