Sean Morey, He's The Man
Sean Morey is a man that tries to see both sides of any situation. This is very apparent when looking through his library of songs. Not one to play favorites, Morey tends to deliver his work in pairs. When he wrote his tune "The Man Who Doesn't Exist," he immediately followed it up with "The Woman Who Doesn't Exist." After "I Think It's Gonna Be A Good Day," came the "Bad Day" version of the song. Even his extremely popular "Man Song" spawned the sequels "The Woman Song" and the "Baby Song." Starting to see the connection? Sean has become one of the most popular comedians Bob & Tom welcome into the studio. He is so well-loved in fact, that most can even look past his banjo playing.

Comedy...
With a Moral Twist
After spending his first fifteen years in comedy spiraling downward into a world of drugs and alcohol, Jeff Allen hit bottom. It was at that point that he decided it was time to clean up his act... literally. Now he's seen playing clubs as well as prayer breakfasts with his funny, yet "squeaky clean," brand of standup comedy that helps people to take life a little less seriously.

The Metamorphosis of "Ziggy Stardust"
David Bowie has always been know as one to reinvent himself at "breakneck speeds." His musical career spans decades, and began as a young 13 year old with aspirations of playing jazz. When he got around to releasing his first album, he had been credited with starting heavy metal, and inspiring the art of glam rock. Later in his career, Bowie once again changed his tune and added more dance floor music to his repertoire including just a hint of a Motown sound.

Bowie continued on this path of reinvention, becoming an actor, joining a "superstar band" (Tin Machine) and creating Internet only projects until late in the nineties when he decided to get back to his roots in solo music. It's now 2002 and record stores are again making room for a new David Bowie album. Heathen features all new songs, and some demented looking cover art. And judging by Bowie's past, it's safe to say that it will be nothing like you've ever heard from him before.

VIP MEMBERS - The entire interview can be heard in the VIP Live Show Archive. Jump to clip 4 in your preferred audio player.

FACTOID - David Bowie wanted to go by the name Davey Jones (His real name) but was forced to change it after finding out it might be a bit confusing with the lead singer of The Monkees already using that moniker.

He's Just Like You... Only Different
He may be tall, dresses all in black, wears dark rimmed glasses, lives alone with a cat, has a thing for redheads, grew up in Ohio with an English mother, sports a shower cap while bathing, and Bob & Tom sometimes question his sexuality... but other than that, comedian Drew Hastings is just like you. And that just so happens to be the title of Drew's long anticipated comedy album. Just Like You features Hasting's unique takes on every day life and very humorous standup, live on CD for fans to enjoy over and over and over again.

There's always a chance when Drew stops by that his good buddy, "Success Guru," Jack Freeman might tag along. Jack's got his own album out, The Business of Living, in which he attempts to help everyone who wants to, become a winner.

Just One of the Things We Love About Golf
After he retired from professional golf in 1997, it didn’t take David Feherty long to develop a reputation in both broadcasting and print. He was voted viewers favorite golf commentator on CBS, and his "Sidespin" column in Golf Magazine is one of its most popular features.

Feherty isn’t content with this new found fan support, and is delving into a new medium, novels. A Nasty Bit of Rough is Feherty’s first attempt at fiction. This “absolutely almost true tale” follows David’s fictional Uncle Dickie and his friends as they try and win the oldest trophy in golf, the petrified middle finger of St. Andrew, Patron Saint of Scotland. The idea for the book evolved from some characters he introduced in his columns. "I was bored a couple of times, so I just made up some characters and wrote some stories. People liked them so much they kept telling me make it into a book... so I did."

Feherty says that his goal in all of his work is for people to remember that golf is fun, and to think about all the things that people love about the sport. "If you don't swear or gamble you shouldn't be allowed to play golf," says Feherty. "And if you don't have a catty, take out frustrations on your cart."

Though he's not broadcasting this years US Open, he is still keeping a close eye on the championship. "The US Open lends itself to having an unknown talent win it more so than any other, just because of the way it's set up," says Feherty. "Tiger Woods is always the favorite in any tourney, but in the US Open, anything can happen."

Kick Ass USA
Everybody knows that the United States is the greatest country in the world, but authors Rob Cohen and David Wollock have decided to list the reasons why. Why We Rule is a book dedicated to all the wonderful ways that America kicks every other country’s ass. The book was inspired after Cohen received an e-mail listing the reasons why America deserved the terrorist attacks on 9/11. The authors decided that the only appropriate way to respond to this letter was to write a 226 page book proving to everyone that the US is more than just the land of the free, it’s also the home of apple pie, hot dogs, baseball, Budweiser, breast implants, and America’s greatest “Sh*t” Talkers,” Bob & Tom (just check out page 191). Cohen and Wollock are also the authors behind the must have book Etiquette for Outlaws. These and other fine reading materials are currently featured on B&T's Bookshelf!

Big Money...
No Whammies... Stop!
The Game Show Network has once again answered the call of Americans everywhere by bringing back one of the greatest programs of all time, Press Your Luck. Todd Newton is the new host of Whammy! which is a suped up version of the classic game. Contestants still watch as dollar amounts flash around the board, but they are now avoiding an even more devious money stealing Whammy.
"We kept all the things that people liked about the classic show, and just added a little extra flavor for 2002. The Whammy's still do the same thing, but now they also spray you down, or drop things on you," says Newton

Whammy is one of three new games on the Game Show Network. The others are Russian Roulette (where contestants are actually dropped through the floor) and Friend or Foe hosted by former MTV VeeJay Kennedy.

"Thanks to shows like Who Wants To Be a Millionaire and Greed, people have learned the value of a million dollars, and are familiar with game shows. Not only the big hour long shows, but also the classic half hour games with all the buzzes and whistles."

Newton hosts another show, and a different network. He is the leading man on E!'s Coming Attractions, a movie preview show. Newton used to co-host Hot Ticket with Leonard Maltin for awhile but says he was never really much of a reviewer.

"I never used the reviewer terms like plot execution and character development... I just say things like 'that movie sucked.'" Newton took time to review a few movies for Bob & Tom saying he really enjoyed Men in Black II and Sum of All Fears. However, he skipped Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood to get his nails painted.

Whammy! The New Press Your Luck airs on the Game Show Network each weeknight at 10 p.m. Eastern.

Keeping It In the Family
As one of the few third generation athletes in American sports, NASCAR legend Kyle Petty knows how important family can be. Petty is a driver and the CEO of his racing team, Petty Enterprises, but even more importantly, he is a member of the "first family of racing." That's why he, and his primary racing sponsor of his #45 Dodge, Sprint, are teaming up to raise money for seriously ill children by donating money to organization each time someone picks up the phone to call dad this Father's Day.
