Johnny Dare Morning Show

Kathleen Madigan continues to be one of the top comedians on the road today...she just keeps getting better and better every year...which is why it's not all that unusual that it's April, and she called us to promote her show at the Midland that is happening...IN OCTOBER!! Why? Because it's gonna sell out!! Get those tickets now! https://www.axs.com/events/477456/kathleen-madigan-tickets?skin=midland&src=AEGLIVE_EMIDTMCI030115VEN001

We've been talking all about Southern MO preacher John Lindell, faith healer Rev. Bill Johnson and their claim that THE POWER OF PRAYER helped grow back 3 toes on Krissy Thompson's foot...though they have yet to prove it actually happened!! Which is why a man known only as T.S. launched a website, showmethetoes.com , to help look for the elusive proof of Krissy's Miracle Toes!!! And we talked to T.S. to get some answers!!!

Gianni Russo (aka The Hollywood Godfather), is without question, one of the most interesting people we've ever had on the show. From his childhood battling polio to his time working with the Costello crime family, his acting career which was launched in The Godfather, owning nightclubs in Vegas, having sex with Marilyn Monroe and so much more! And now he's released a new fiction novel...that certainly sounds a lot like his real life, titled "The 6th Family" and we talked to him about it today.

Over the years Alice Cooper has had a string of amazing musicians on the road with him...but the line up that's been in place since 2014, led by shred queen Nita Strauss, is one of the most formidable bands on the road today. On her own, Nita released a solo album, Controlled Chaos, in 2018...she released a solo single featuring David Draiman of Disturbed on vocals...she briefly left the Cooper band to tour with Demi Lovato...and now she's BACK with Alice for his summer dates AND has released a new solo single with Alice on vocals, "Winner Takes All"....and we met her for the first time this moring!!

Seemingly EVERYONE on today's edition of The Adult Toy Price Is Right had come to the grim realization that being married and having kids has put the kibosh on their sex lives...which is why we're doin' the Lord's work by gifting a couple of lucky listeners some rubber lovin'!...we'll except for one of the ladies who is doing her level best to ruin her young boyfriend for all other women.... It's THE ADULT TOY PRICE IS RIGHT, brought to you, as always, by Moonlight Adult Boutique!!!

From the early/mid 70s through the 80s, there was no independent record label that did as much to turn the music industry on it’s ear more than Casablanca Records. Founded by Neil Bogart and Cecil Holmes, the label launched the careers of KISS, The Village People, Donna Summer, Parliament and so many more…as well as pumping out the soundtrack of the disco era. And now a new movie that tells the story of those heady days, Spinning Gold, is hitting theaters this Friday and we talked to stars Jay Pharoah and Jeremy Jordan this morning about it…which then evolved into talk about the “good old days” of radio!

Actor Scott Grimes kicked off his acting career while still in his teens, growing into a career that led him to roles on such series as, “ER”, “Party of Five”, the Hulu series, “The Orville” and the HBO mini-series, “Band of Brothers”…but since 2005 most know him as Steve Smith on the animated series, “American Dad!”…and the new season premiering this Monday, we thought it was time to catch up…but not before we explored our favorite story of the week…that of Pastor John Lindell and the miracle of Krissy Thompson’s toes!! #praisethelord

Fact: NASCAR legend Clint Bowyer likes to party. Fact: Austin TX is a party town. And with the EchoPark Grand Prix race at Circuit of the Americas in Austin TX happening this weekend…it’s gonna get WILD in the best way possible…and that’s BEFORE the race happens! And we woke Clint up out of a dead sleep to talk to him about it this morning…sorry not sorry…about upcoming Chicago Street Race weekend, and the possibilities of him getting behind the wheel again!!!

It’s a simple fact. Rap icon Ice T is the OG…He broke ground in the late 80s as one of the top rappers in the game…he took it next level with his band Body Count, causing controversy wherever they went…THEN he also launched a successful acting career in movies like New Jack City…not to mention his over two decade run with the Law & Order franchise! And now, he’s adding motivator to his resume with his new podcast, Ice T’s Daily Game…and he called us this morning to tell us all about it…and reminisce about the infamous Outhouse in Lawrence KS!

It’s no big secret our love of pinball on this show…and the true level of nerdery enjoyed by some members of the show (*cough*Johnny*cough) is at an unbelievable level…especially with the Texas Pinball Festival this weekend!! And what many don’t know is that one of the ROCK STARS of pinball lives right here in KC!! Keri Wing just won her 2nd IFPA Women’s World Championship this past weekend, making her the ONLY repeat winner ever!! We caught up with Keri this morning to hear all about it!!

British actor and martial artist Scott Adkins has built a career, turning in amazing fight scenes in movies like “The Expendables 2”, “The Bourne Ultimatum”, “X Men Origins: Wolverine” and the kung fu classic “Ip Man 4: The Finale”…but now he’s set to take his career to a new level as “Killa” in “John Wick Chapter 4”, which will mow down everything in it’s path at this weekend’s Box Office. And we got the opportunity to meet Scott this morning to talk about what will be the biggest weekend in his career!

Extreme lead guitarist Nuno Bettencourt is, without question, the last of a dying breed…a true virtuoso guitar hero…and in a world without an Eddie Van Halen, rock and roll still needs guitarists who can cut loose and take the instrument to another level. And with the band’s new single, “Rise”, he’s proven that he can still light it up…the song is strong, HUGE…but the guitar solo takes it all WAY over the top!! And we got the chance to talk to Nuno this morning about the band’s upcoming album, his appearance with Rihanna at the Super Bowl, earning the respect of his own heroes and much more!

When our listeners call in to play the Adult Toy Price Is Right, it's no secret that these folks are lookin' for some rubber gratification...and, let's face it, some people win, some people don't...but every once in a while, the kindness of people shines thru the dark like a light...not a flesh light...and the winner chooses to bestow that grandest of prizes to one of their more deserving opponent...and all is right with the world.

When Papa Roach was formed in High School 30 years ago...little did they know that 3 decades on, they'd still be taking the world by storm and releasing more and more hit singles...but as frontman and Friend of the Show told us this morning, "I'm so thankful for each night I get on stage...we savor it all" And there are few musicians you will meet who are more thankful, and have more gratitude for the success they've achieved.

In early 1993, the world watched as the US Government, Texas law enforcement, and the military had a stand off with the Branch Davidian religious cult, ending in a fire that burned their compound to the ground and leaving 76 cult members dead. And now director Tiller Russell explores that sordid tale in the new docu-series, “Waco: American Apocalypse” that debuts this Wednesday on Netflix. We talked to Tiller this morning about this tragic footnote in American history.
