The modern world astounds me. I live in the U.K. but am currently playing records for 49 US states (sorry, Hawaii) and all of Canada right now on #SiriusXM. It’s fun!

Weird Al Yankovic has charmed generations, especially those who grew up in his ’80s and ’90s heyday. Now the men of that era are taking their kids to his Bigger & Weirder tour, where he headlined Madison Square Garden for the first time at age 65 last summer. nyti.ms/3TZW5IA

America has lost over 700 AM radio stations since the 90s but it seems like they’ll lose that many again in the next five years the way it’s going.

A little over a decade ago, Aga’s, an Indian-Pakistani spot in Houston, was a struggling restaurant on the brink of closing. Today, it generates more Uber Eats deliveries than any other single-location business around the globe. nyti.ms/4hdjFub

Can recommend. Noodles is charming AF. 👏👏👏👏

Today’s the day! Noodles from the Offspring joins Kevin Ryder, Kat Corbett, Corny The Robot and me on 3/4 Human! It’s out now. Watch on Patreon or listen via Audacy, Spotify, Apple etc.,

That's fantastic, Jim. I left over 50,000 followers over there and after nearly two years have a whopping one thousand here. But you are a much better poster than I am.

This post is unavailable.

And you ask me why I don't watch this show.... ⤵️

The task was to create the strongest odor. The jars were sealed for 3 months! Greg’s reaction is absolute perfection. #TaskMaster

Omg! I remember seeing this at the Puyallup fair in Washington! Thank you, Al!

“Lost media” no longer! I finally got permission to upload “AL’S BRAIN,” an 11-minute educational 3-D film attraction which ran at the Orange County and Western Washington fairs, and hasn’t been seen publicly since 2009. You can watch the whole thing here: youtu.be/2xujU87ZHt4

“America In The Morning” was the morning show I listened to every morning on the way to do my morning show. Good morning !

My annoying voice can be heard all across North America now until 6 pm EDT on #SiriusXM, Channel 34. I WILL NOT BE IGNORED! (Unless you don’t listen, then yeah)

According to the app we are having a party on Lithium right now but sadly Madison and Grant had other plans so it’s just me. Channel 34 on #SiriusXM until 6E/3P 😂

Another complete air staff fired. Tell me: if you still listen to any music radio, do you prefer no disc jockey with your songs? Or do they add something to your experience? I’d love to know.

Serious question, when you post your Wordle or Connections of whatever score, who is it for? Is there a BlueSky competition I just don’t know anything about because I don’t participate? I’m trying to learn here.

Hey, I’m on the radio opposite the World Cup Final. No one will be listening so there’s no telling what I’ll say. SiriusXM, Channel 34 across North America.

I never thought I’d see a day where KIIS-FM would be out of the top ten in the LA ratings. Bad sign for Top 40 radio. 😧

Woo hoo! I can finally complete the Venn Diagram I’ve been working on of the subset of people who were married to both Harpo Marx and Frank Sinatra.

July 11, 1976: Frank Sinatra marries for the fourth time, this time to Barbara Marx, former wife of the Marx Brothers' Zeppo Marx.

A seminal moment in many of our lives. Remember, as the numbers get smaller, the hits get bigger. Thank you, Casey! #rip

July 4, 1970: Casey Kasem debuts the radio show American Top 40, where he counts down the Billboard hits (the #1 song: "Mama Told Me (Not to Come)" by Three Dog Night). He hosts the show until 2004, when Ryan Seacrest takes over. #AT40

Here’s me talking about that time I was in a riot. Join me and my fellow Lithium hosts on #SiriusXM for a fantastic Top 250 countdown all weekend long. Channel 34.

Yes, the movie was terrible but Aerosmith's "Come Together" and Earth, Wind & Fire's "Got You Get You Into My Life" from the soundtrack are among the best Beatles covers ever.
