Don Felder
Heaven and HellWhen guitarist Don Felder was asked to join the Eagles in 1974, he knew it was the opportunity of a lifetime, but he had no idea how musically thrilling, emotionally exhausting and surprising dangerous the road ahead actually was. And though The Eagles have been one of the biggest bands of the past few decades, they’ve also been one of the most tight lipped about what life in the band was actually like. That is until Don Felder decided to write and publish his new book Heaven And Hell: My Life in the Eagles. In the book, Felder describes his27-year roller coaster ride with the legendary band, including all the drugs, groupies, breakups, music, court battles, and more that took place while selling tens of millions of albums and packing arenas around the world Mario DiGiorgio
Big Nose Little DogComedian Mario DiGiorgio hasn’t been in the business long, but when you can win a “Funniest Person in Austin” contest less than a year after joining the profession, you know you’ve made a good career move. The to add to his resume, he followed that up by becoming a finalist in the HBO/Aspen Open Call for Stand-Up; was a finalist in Comedy Central’s "Laugh Riots" competition and was the principal comic in an Anheuser-Busch industrial commercial. These days, Mario can be found touring the country with an ever-swelling catalogue of smart, inventive material. Along with his budding stand-up career, Mario has also started his own clothing line called BigNoseLittleDog, and wrote the uplifting book A Cynic’s Guide to a Rich and Full Life. Costaki Economopoulos
Costaki Economopoulos is a comedian, true, but he's also a football fan. Those two factors alone make him the perfect candidate to give us a comedic look back at the NFL each week with his new feature that's also been picked up by The Huffington Post and Bleacher Report. With his Greek heritage, it's not surprising that he's been described as a “joke philosopher,” and we're sure he's not the only one saying that. Costaki is also a talented joke writer who's punchlines have been heard on "The Tonight Show," Showtime, BET, and MTV. Follow Costaki on facebook and twitter. Check out his new article on the Bleacher Report. Tim Cavanagh

On the show, Tim is famous for previously being "One-Minute Song Guy" and currently for his Cavalcade of Celebrity Birthdays feature. Check out the Spray Tan Photos from Tim's previous visit! Tim Bedore
For longer than we can remember comedian Tim Bedore has been calling in or stopping by to deliver an editorial in which he talks about whatever happens to be on his mind. These musings can range from his relationship with his daughter, to hot topics in the news, and even updates on how the animal kingdom is waging war on mankind. From the Animal Conspiracy to his daughter Claire, Tim takes us inside his mind, and with the help of a few sound effects, puts together one of our favorite features. He's also a fantastic stand-up comedian and often takes part in the Canadian Mist B&T Comedy All-Star Tour. Follow Tim on Facebook.
