Well, it’s another milestone in my house. Meredith got her driver’s permit yesterday. Yikes! So, my youngest child can now legally get behind the wheel of a car.
Rode with her for a short jaunt to her school & she didn’t do too bad. A little jerky on the brakes but I never soiled myself, so that’s a plus.
Super Bowl
The Super Bowl is this weekend. Looking forward to the Voice with Blake afterwards. I know he and Miranda are singing before the game too. Don’t really care for either team but I am excited about the party. Don’t have a prediction but I guess I’d prefer the Giants over the Pats. The Super Bowl is always good food and friends though. The Franks Buffalo Dip is my favorite. I’ve posted the recipe for you
What have I learned this week? Yogurt is a firestarter topic on Twitter! The other day, I mentioned I was about to try a new flavor of
Greek yogurt (Apple & Cinnamon, by the way) & had all kinds of responses. Who knew yogurt was such a big deal?
Hello and Happy New Year!
Getting back to business and it’s great. We added several new stations and more are coming. It was really nice this week to come back to KSON in San Diego. We hope you all take a look at the stations we are on and if you know anyone in those areas, shoot an email or facebook them and have them check us out. THANK YOU in advance.
Hey there,
Hope you are ready for the Holidays. Just thought I’d take a moment and reflect on the past year real quick. The TK Productions business is taking off. We are so excited for the way things have set up for 2012 as we continue to be the fastest growing syndicated show in country music. Personally, a lot of great moments in the year and life is so good right now.
It’s almost Thanksgiving and people are starting to freak out. Been out a few times shopping and it’s funny to me seeing people already angry and fighting. Guess it’s the season. I am on a streak however. It was raining all day yesterday and I had to hit a few places, first Wal Mart. Parking lot was a mad house. Usually I always park in the back and just walk up instead of wasting gas and the extra steps don’t hurt me. I pulled up and since it was raining, thought that I’d check out the front. 1st spot, got it. Green Hills Mall is a tough place to park and I pull up, first spot open. Left there and met a date for a drink at Crows Nest. No parking there, pull up and the 2nd spot is wide open. I feel like Cal Ripken must have felt when he was on his streak.
I’m not sure what I’m doing this Thanksgiving, I may end up in Gulf Shores, Alabama or I might stay here in Nashville. Everyone that knows me knows I’m a HUGE Alabama Crimson Tide fan. Our biggest rivalry Auburn plays us Saturday in the Iron Bowl on CBS. If Bama wins, we will get to go to the National Championship Game. Roll Tide! (one of my favorite moments ever in the Iron Bowl is posted below. Listen to how excited the announcer gets)

Hi there,
Everyone is recovering from CMA Award week. It was great to see Jason Aldean start getting some kudos. Names to watch in coming years-

Hey!
Things have been jumping around here. We have been so busy. First I have to say, just saw a commercial for the new Sandler movie. Did not think it would be possible to make a worse movie than Grown Ups but this Jack and Jill looks like it could be an all time BAD MOVIE. On to other things. We were thrilled to FINALLY be able to announce that we will be back on KSON in San Diego. We were there for so long, it’s nice to reunite with all of our old friends. I’m looking forward to being out there for a few days in the coming weeks. We should have ANOTHER southern California station on before Thanksgiving and that will be very cool.
The Tony and Kris Country Cruise is 1 year away and it’s selling fast. We hope you make plans to join us, cause it’s going to be a blast. Tony’s Karaoke Party will be a blast and some of the prizes are pretty amazing. I’m hosting a HUGE singles party. The main thing is it’s going to be FUN. CLICK HERE FOR CRUISE DETAILS
I’m back down to the weight I was when I moved to Nashville. Back to running 4 miles a day, and working out pretty hard. Feel so much better when I work out pretty regular. What’s your favorite exercise? Your least favorite?
My Crimson Tide is playing pretty well and everybody is counting down to Nov. 5th. Alabama vs. LSU. It should be an awesome game.
Songwriting lately has not been happening as much. Been busy with work. Hope to get back into that soon. Supposed to write with a gal that I went out with a few times. That should produce some interesting songs. LOL
Catch you next time. 
Kris

Hey there,
It has been an interesting week. Got some HORRIBLE news over the weekend. It’s really sad. A guy I’ve known for years, went to school with him and when I lived in San Diego he was stationed out there so we’d watch Bama games ever so often. He went off the radar a while back so I just figured we lost touch. Turns out he was sentenced to 40 years in prison for raping two underage girls. How horrible is that! I guess you really never know about someone. I had no idea he was capable of that. I’m still in shock about it. Feel so bad for people involved.
Onto some other things. Had an afternoon date Sunday and we saw Moneyball. It was really good! Think any business can apply the lesson in that movie about changing and growing with the times or you get left behind. We went to Drakes, one of my favorite places (great bloody marys) My date pointed out that I fidget constantly. She said I’m always shifting, leaning up, leaning back, popping knuckles, etc. Never really noticed I guess, although I’ve had other folks say stuff about it but I never paid attention to it. Could have been the two Red Bulls I had. LOL. Do you fidget a lot? Pop Your knuckles? I can’t be the only one that is always moving around.
Had a cook out for the Bama/Florida Game and we had “Gator” meat. It was my first time trying it. It taste like rubber chicken to me. Have you ever tried gator meat? What did you think? Thank goodness Alabama won. It’s been a good year so far.
We have been teasing some big announcements. The press release for one of the announcements was approved yesterday, so it should be any time now and the other HUGE announcement should be next week!
Talk to you soon.

I’m doing something this weekend I haven’t done in over 20 years: Seeing people with whom I went to high school!
My 25th reunion is here & I’ve decided to take the trip back to Hokes Bluff, Alabama to take part. They’ve had one or two
other reunions but we lived in California & I really wasn’t up for a 2,500 mile trip for a reunion. But now, at 43 years old & feeling
a little nostalgic, plus living much closer, I figure it’s time. Like anyone, I’m curious about my former classmates. Who will have changed the most? Who got heavy? Who got skinny? Who got bald? We were a small class so it won’t be any major throwdown, but
it should be fun to see adults who, the last time I saw them in person, were teens without a clue.
Have you done the 20+ year reunion? What were the biggest surprises? Any fights? Any hook-ups? I feel compelled to cause something to happen that will be remembered. I’ll keep you posted on what I decide & try to get pictures or video if the police are involved!

Hi,
Hope everyone’s life is great. Lot to catch you up on. Tony and I (and some friends) went to New York last weekend for the CMT Tour. Lee Brice, Josh Thompson, and Luke Bryan played a show and we got to party with them a bit. Luke’s mom was there and she listens to us down in Albany on K-Country. She’s too funny. Josh Thompson went out and hit the town with us. You should buy some of his stuff on iTunes. Won’t Be Lonely Long is my favorite song by him. Took a jog through Central Park, and got to hang most of the day at ground zero. Amazing stories down there. See photos from the New York Trip HERE
Last night may have been one of the coolest things I’ve done in the 20 years of radio I’ve worked. Under the arena here is a rehearsal area for artist to get ready for their tours. Miranda invited about 20 of us to come see her last night of rehearsal. She had couches set up in front of the stage. Tony and I had a few drinks made for us and basically got our own FULL Miranda Concert. Loved the fact she’s got “strings” in the show this year. One of my favorites from her. The show is going to be great so get your tickets when it comes to your town. A lot of pics are posted. HERE!
Hope you catch some football this weekend and that your team does well. We are getting closer to our 2 big announcements. This coming week or so we should be able to let you in on at least one of them.
I hope you all had a great weekend. Relaxing around here. Although at one point on Saturday we did have 10 teenagers in our house. Yikes.
Watched a 9/11 special last night about the “Heroes Of The 88th Floor.” Basically how two regular guys who worked on that floor of the North Tower
of the World Trade Center helped save 77 people and inspired others to do the same. While we all thank fire, police, emt, military, etc., don’t forget
to thank the families of normal folks like you & me who did extraordinary things that day. How many of us would have stayed behind rather than go
down those stairs with our wives (which is what one of them did)? How many would fight to go up the stairs rather than down? How many would
sacrifice our lives to ensure that a few other people made it down? It was a remarkable, selfless act & the special was quite moving.
Kris & I saw it happen live. We followed the news & stayed on the air from 5:30 a.m. Pacific until well into the afternoon. We shared information &
encouragement, talking with listeners and letting them vent, cry & share. It was a day we’ll never forget & one of the rare opportunities two radio goofs
have the opportunity to do something that really matters: Help bring people together so healing may begin.

Hi there! Just a quick pop-in as I’m about to head out the door to pick up Lexi at the airport as she arrives from San Diego for a late-summer visit before she starts her *GULP* Junior year at University of San Diego!
Can’t believe how the years have flown. She’ll be 20 in December, Geoffrey just turned 17 & is a Senior in high school & Meredith recently turned 15 & is a Sophomore. Seems like yesterday we were all going
school shopping together & they were all so excited to start the new year. Now (with the younger two at least) we have to drag them out of bed each day to get there, though Meredith still likes the shopping part.
On an unrelated note, I saw a story online a couple days ago about weird sandwich combinations people eat & the headline brought happy memories of my dad rushing back. The author was talking about how she’s made fun of for eating
peanut butter & onion sandwiches. Those were my pop’s favorites! He would eat them 2 or 3 times a week & every time, mom & I would cringe. The weirdest I ever got was as a kid, I would make a bologna, mustard & potato chip sandwich.
Delicious & crunchy! Do you have any weird sandwich combos that make people look at you like you’re nuts?
That’s it for now. Looking forward to a fun, but too short visit with Lexi & having all my kids under one roof for a while. Talk to you soon!

Hey,
I’m stalking a country star! I don’t mean to be, but I feel I am. It’s not who you would think that I would stalk either. Now Tony and I are always honest with you about who we are friends with, or artist that we know but are not really pals with. Charles Kelley of Lady A has to think I’m stalking him. In Nashville, I’ve run into him at Target a few times, Heading up to play golf one day, he was coming out, went to a party at Martina McBride’s house and we ran into each other there. It all started when Tony and I went to the Bruce Springsteen show with a mutual friend who took Charles and his wife also. Anyway, I went to lunch the other day and all of Lady A walk in and sit at the table next to me. Long story short. I’m NOT stalking Charles. He’s got to be thinking, I see this guy everywhere. I’m going out of my way to not see him now just so he does not think I’m stalking him. LOL.
Hate what happened in Indy. That was just so sad to see the video. I hope that venues take some sort of safety measures after seeing that. It’s up to 5 people now that have died.
Tony and I are tossing around the idea of a “Second Hand Heart” party in a few places around the country. If you have not heard Danny Gokey’s new song it is great and the lyrics are amazing. It’s about two people that have been through a bad relationship and have found each other. We think anyone that has been through a divorce or break up will love it.
My songwriting hobby is really fun. It’s amazing that songs ever get on the radio but two that I’ve been a part of seem to be getting traction and who knows. In a year or so you may hear them on the radio. I’ll keep you posted.
That’s it for now. Hope you have a great day!
3 Quick Questions
1. What was the last movie you saw? Rise of The Planet of The Apes- I liked it
2. What song describes your last week? Workin’ For A Livin’- Huey Lewis and the News
3. What was your last meal? Fruit smoothy for breakfast this morning.
