NEW KISS MORNING SHOW I’m sitting down with the new crew of the KISS Morning Show, Maney, LauRen and Roy. I’m getting the inside scoop on how the three of them are getting along and what makes the show tic. If you haven’t tune in you should TODAY, everyone will be VOTING it the BEST morning show next year for our BEST OF THE CITY 2016! How long have you each been in the business? MANEY: My first morning radio job was in Little Rock in 1998. I have been waking up at 4:30 am ever since. Tucson, Sacramento, Memphis, and now Charlotte. LAUREN: Collectively about four years. I started in radio with The Finsiders (a Miami Dolphins/ NFL based sports talk show in Miami) on 940WINZ. We did an afternoon drive show Monday - Friday from 5-7 pm. Here in Charlotte I did a short stent on ESPN730 Saturday mornings with Jeff Reed on

“Just Kicking It” and now here I am on KISS Mornings with Maney and Roy. ROY: I began dabbling into the business in 2009, but didn’t get my first on-air gig until 2010. What did you each do before? MANEY: When I was in college I did a bunch of small jobs, I worked at MTV, interned for Howard Stern, worked for UPS, landscaped and was even a ball boy at the US Open Tennis Tournament. LAUREN: Well I have been dancing for the Charlotte Bobcats and Hornets for the last 3 years, while working with my Pageant Coaching Company, PR Pageant Coaches, so this is a new and exciting charter in my life. ROY: Before I got into radio I was working as a server and attempting College. I had this whole dream of pursuing law or anything criminal justice related. I kind of fell into radio and I have loved it ever since. Before I came to KISS I was working at K92 (WXLK) as a Night Show Host. What’s the strangest conversation you have had with a radio caller? MANEY: The strangest conversation, would be when I was in Memphis some guy called in as Elvis and stated he wasn’t dead. Right on my show!! It was a huge ratings grabber! LAUREN: I love confession Wednesdays, one in particular stands out in my mind. We received a call from a man who had found a great deal of money, but hadn’t turn it in or spent it. I remember thinking to myself “ how strange that someone who call and confess that”, but it becomes flattering to know that our listeners consider us friends and that the are comfortable enough to know that we are a judgment free zone! ROY: Probably the strangest conversations I had was back in Roanoke, Virginia. The military was conducting exercises and their airplanes had some weird lights. So I was getting UFO reports from

hundreds of listeners. My show turned quickly into “Where are the UFO’s?” How are the dynamics with the three of you? MANEY: I love working with Roy and LauRen, it has been effortless from day one - which was yesterday LOL! Seriously I love these two! It’s a group of friends talking on the radio, who each have their own unique point of view.

MANEY

LAUREN: We’ve taken 3 completely different people from 3 completely different back grounds and meshed that into a show. Somehow it just works, I think the it’s because we genuinely love working together and we make each other laugh! I guess it’s like that old saying “opposites attract”. It’s so much fun to see a topic through someone else’s eyes. ROY: We have a great mix between all of us. I’m the youngest, not well traveled and innocent. You have LauRen who has been to really cool places (Like India) and Maney who is the oldest who brings the family perspective into play. All of us combined works really well together. Just about every day I learn something new from those two.

ROY

What is your biggest phobia? MANEY: My biggest phobia is heights, not on a plane I’m fine with that. More like on a ladder or a rooftop.

LAUREN

LAUREN: Honestly, I try not to be afraid of things. If I have a fear I try to concur it head on. I’ll try almost anything, but the one thing I am afraid of ironically is needles. I have a panic attack and pass out every time. lol ROY: SNAKES. Don’t like them. When I was younger I almost got bit by one, ever since I stay clear of those things. Even the ones that aren’t poisonous freak me out. Who is your favorite musical artist? MANEY: My favorite artist of all time is probably Sting or Phil Collins (ok insert chuckles), they both have awesome songs I can actually sing LOL but currently I’m really into Maroon 5 (I mean It’s Adam Levine@ #HAWTIE LAUREN: I love all genres of music. My favorite is to hear a Top 40 artist collaborate with a dubstep DJ. ROY: I could never just list ONE artist! I’m very passionate about music and love multiple genre’s, so artists like One Direction, Billy Joel, Lil Wayne and Luke Bryan can be found on my iPod. Tell us one of your favorite things about one of your co-host? MANEY: LauRen is an awesome person, she is smart, caring, and always on her game! I will tell you what surprised me the most about her, she’s freaking funny and makes me laugh all morning! LAUREN: I love Roy’s innocence. He grew up in a small town in Virginia and it’s fun to watch him explore the world and his new “big” city ROY: Favorite thing about Maney would be his comedy. He’s a funny guy, I’m literally in tears laughing before 6am every day. I also love hearing his radio stories. He’s been in the business, I think, for almost 20 years so he always has a great story about something.
