I have specifically stated many times I don’t want kids of my own (he does), am extremely safety-conscious …

By 2003, my radio career had taken somewhat of a bizarre turn. I had become firmly entrenched as the street reporter, stunt guy and all-around sidekick on Rick Dees In the Morning on KIIS-FM 102.7 in Los Angeles.
