Final Table #169: Amarillo Slim
Amarillo Slim died last night at a hospice in his hometown in Texas at the age of 83. Slim won the World Series Of Poker Main Event in 1972, which got him an invitation to "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" and other media outlets, making him the first poker superstar -- for many people, he was the only professional gambler they'd ever seen on television. He was inducted into the Poker Hall Of Fame in 1992.In his memory, we're releasing this special edition of The Final Table poker...

Not-So-Secret Services
Ronald Kessler (who I interviewed 3 years ago for his book, "Inside The Secret Service") is the reporter who broke the Secret Service/Colombian prostitute story, so I invited him to discuss the latest developments with me today on KTRS/St. Louis.

MPAA Bullies "Bully"
There's been quite a bit of controversy over "Bully," a new documentary about the millions of kids who are bullied in the US every year. Some of the controversy comes from the MPAA's ratings board, which originally slapped an R rating on the film, meaning that kids under 17 couldn't see it. The Weinstein Company tried to go around that decision, but found that theaters wouldn't accept it without the MPAA's approval. Finally, more edits were made and the rating was lowered to PG-13 and it...

Don't Buy A New Laptop Yet
Tech guru Scott Shaffer joined me on KTRS/St. Louis to explain why now is not the time to buy a new laptop. It has to do with Microsoft's new operating system, Windows 8, and its new features. We also discussed whether the same thinking applies to Apple laptops, and how most new laptops and desktops are going to have touch screens in addition to a keyboard and mouse/touchpad. Towards the end, you'll hear about something new and amazing -- flexible screens for newspapers, magazines, and...

Making Fleetwood Mac's Rumours
In January, 1976, Ken Caillat went into a studio in Sausalito, California, to engineer and co-produce a new Fleetwood Mac album. When it was released a year later, it spawned four Top-10 singles, became one of the biggest selling albums of all time, and won the Grammy for Album Of The Year.
