About Moose
Moose grew up a product of the US Navy military and dependent system. A Navy brat, to Iowa parents, since birth and officially 'til about 1993, he was raised in a loving and screwball family. With stops in Guam, Phillipines, California, Washington DC, Maryland and Puerto Rico, he is as cultured as he is non-bilingual, an irony that isn't lost on him. You'd think he would have picked up SOME sort of language...at least Southeast DC crack-speak!
Anyway... Moose’s radio path lead him through an Oldies station in DC, nights in Maryland and then afternoons in Vermont at Classic Rock 101. After a stint as program director there, he arrived at LAZER in 2003 as the afternoon guy.
Early 2007 he was asked if he was interested in filling the morning vacancy that had opened up at Lazer upon which he said "You've reached Moose, leave a message" because he wasn't up yet. When he finally woke up at 10am he called back and said, with an enthusiastic voice, "Uh, okay."
Now, with 3.5 gallons of coffee running through his veins and a smelly B-Sox by his side, he hosts the Morning Moose show, syndicated in 1 market and with just as many listeners.
About B-Sox
B-Sox was homegrown right here in Polk City, Iowa. Sox started at LAZER in 2003 as an intern…doing all the dirty work, and now has worked his way up to be on the Morning Show, having Moose make fun of him, and still doing all the dirty work.
B-Sox is an Iowa Hawkeyes fanatic, and supports them through the good times and the bad.
Do not take the last of the coffee in the morning, and not replace it. People have lost their lives over this. Sox also swears deer have it out for him. Sure? We're sure some day he'll be cool, it's a work in progress.

Deftones
"Diamond Eyes"
MOOSE: Classic Deftones on this album. Kind of weird because this is their first album without Che Chang, their longtime bassist, who has been recovering from a horrific car accident. Lots of chunk mixed in with exploration of new and more introspective avenues, this is one of the Deftones' best.
SLASH
BSOX: I just downloaded Slash, and so far I like. I haven't had a chance to give it a good listen, but so far I like Promise w/ Chris Cornell, and Beautiful Dangerous w/ Fergie is actually pretty good.

Locker Room Sports
Head into the land of jock straps and towel popping! Moose and B-SoX have the reports straight from the locker room with Lazer Room Sports.
One morning a woman was walking out of her front door, when she notices a strange little man at the bottom of her garden.
"You're a goblin," she says, "I caught you and you owe me three wishes!". So the goblin replies "OK, you caught me fair and square, what's your first wish?".
The woman stops and thinks for a second, "I want a huge mansion to live in.", goblins replies "OK, you've got it.". Woman again thinks it over, "My second wish is a Mercedes." "OK, you've got that too." "My last wish is a million dollars!". The goblin then says "OK, you've got it. But to make your wishes come true you have to have sex all night with me." "OK then, if that's what it takes..."
Next morning the little man wakes the woman up.
"Tell me," says the man, "how old are you?" "I'm 27", she replies
"F**k me", says the man, "27 and you still believe in goblins"
