Careful of your brass door knockers. They are being targeted by thieves.

Maud's Native Son

Louisiana born, but Oklahoma bred. Lee Matthews has been in the radio business since 1982 both behind the mike, behind the scenes and in most all formats. "Talk Radio is my favorite format because it is the one format left that still reaches the listener one on one", Lee said.
Most of the time you will hear Lee filling in for someone when they are sick or on vacation. "I'm the man behind the man," Lee frequently says, "not the MAN himself".
One of Lee's favorite charities is the Leukemia Lymphoma society. "Working with the late Mark Shannon tought me a lot about living. If dancing around Bricktown stark naked would help raise money to find a cure for that terrible disease then I'll do it!". Frequently you will see Lee running in the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon, and other local races, in Mark's honor raising money for the cause.
Lee's other hobbies include cooking, music, scuba diving, model railroading, antique clocks, and playing the ukulele. "Nothing bad can happen to you when you are playing a ukulele", he said.
Lee's mom is from Louisiana, but his father and father's family hails from Seminole and Maud; which is why you will frequently hear him reference it on the air. "I have a grand aunt that once said at a gathering, 'Maud, I sure do love that little town!' and it has become a family joke I use on the air".

An Interesting Project By Some Of My Compatriots
Remember Josh Powell, they guy suspected in his wife's dissappearance who killed himself and his children? Compatriots of mine are raising money to make sure this nutt job does not have the privilage to lay next to the children he killed for eternity. Way to go guys!
KIRO-FM, Seattle’s Ron & Don Help Raise Funds to Prevent Josh
Powell from Being Buried Next to Children
KIRO-FM, Seattle
afternoon drive talk hosts Ron
& Don helped raise the money necessary – more than $20,000
– to buy the cemetery plots adjacent to the two boys killed by their father in
Graham, Washington. The story of Josh
Powell killing his sons Charlie
and Brandon
in a horrific explosion of the house during a supervised visit gained national
attention. When Crime
Stoppers Tacoma-Pierce County learned the family of Powell was
looking for a cemetery plot near the ones in which the boys would be buried,
they intervened to buy the adjacent plots. KIRO-FM’s Ron & Don hit
the airwaves to help pay for the purchase. Don O’Neill says,
“When we heard this story at 3:00 pm today, we felt compelled to stop this
tragedy from happening. So, we asked our KIRO listeners to help us raise
the funds to reimburse ‘Crime Stoppers of Tacoma-Pierce County.’” KIRO-FM
program director Larry
Gifford states, “When the news and conversation on 97.3 KIRO FM
impacts the hearts and minds of listeners like the tragic and shocking crimes
involving the Powell family, the ‘Ron & Don Nation’ is always quick to
answer the call and today was no different. I’m continually amazed at the
kind-heartedness and generosity of the people who make up our community.
They inspire, empower, and engage each other to help make a positive
impact and I'm proud we were able to play a role in that today.”

You Know You're Stupid When. . .
You can't even kill yourself correctly:
This is the guy accused of killing the aunt with whom he lived, making a suicide pack with his girlfirend, and failing to kill himself with drugs, and natural gas inhalation. He and the girlfriend were found unconcious, and naked on a bed.
