What has been the most daring thing you’ve ever attempted in your life?
 Frankie V, KSSX: Leaving my family, friends, and all I knew on the East Coast to take a chance to grow my career on the West Coast!
Jordan, KSLZ/KBWX: Parenthood! Java Joel, WAKS: Back when I did mornings at the old Mix 96 in Canton NY, I was in a demolition derby at a neighborhood summer festival. Thought it’d be fun until I saw the questionable-looking gentlemen with no teeth who were in the other cars. They all wanted me dead.
Jonathan Reed, WNOK: I have yet to do it but looking forward to it. Kobe, WWHT: Leaving radio to freelance in social media. Sassy, WKXJ: Date a black guy.
Derrick “DC” Cole, WLAN: Moving away! Doesn’t seem like a huge deal, but I know too many people that would never leave their own bubble. Reid, KZZP: Personally, drag racing at the drag strip in high school. Professionally, Leaving home to work in Alabama. Matt Talluto, WBYR: A career in radio! Kevin Kash, WWEG: Besides having kids, it would have to be radio. |
Toby Knapp, WIHT: Parenthood.
Heather Deluca, WSJO: Rappelling down a 16-story building.
Casey Reed, WIOQ: Jumped out of a plane and went 160mph on a motorcycle track with a pro racer. The motorcycle was much scarier than skydiving. Terry O’Donnell, WKKF: Every time I eat at Denny’s. Mike “OD” O’Donnell, WKRZ: When I was in my early 30’s, I attempted to pipe natural gas to a stove for who later became my wife. We were at her house and I was trying to impress her at the time. I thought of what a disaster it would be if things went wrong, but the house did not blow up and we sold the house and then got married.
Chris Michaels, FM100: Moving away from everything I know to take my first full time job in North Carolina. I didn’t think twice about it, just packed a U Haul, and moved. Best decision that I ever made.
Nik Rivers, WLKK: The Triple Lindy Terri Ray, WKLT: Skydiving |
 Jonathan Shuford, WRVW: I actually haven’t done as much as I probably would’ve like to (not yet at least), but skiing a black diamond slope as a novice skier was pretty daring, and probably one of the dumbest things I ever done as well!
Chris K, 106.5 the end: At a recent remote the Roosevelt Fire Debarment was out there and they had their big aerial ladders and I climb up to the top of the ladder and we took a selfie with the business in the background. Jeff Hurley, WHKF/B104: I took a job in Panama City, FL sight unseen and drove 1200 miles and just went for it. It was my first PD gig. I never visited the station, never been to Florida, I just went for it.
Fish Boy, WKRZ: Jumping out of a station vehicle wrapped in bubble wrap going 55 mph. Rod Phillips, iHeartMedia: Not a daredevil but I did jump into a double black diamond ski slope on my third time ever skiing. Skis pointed straight down and just hung on for dear life. Luckily no poorly placed trees.
Tom Butler, WWCD: When I was 17 and skateboarding every day, a frontside boardslide down a kinked 6 stair handrail in the snow. I landed it for what it’s worth. |
Kobi, WNRW/WLGX: Moving to Amarillo, TX for my first FT radio gig! I had never been to TX and didn’t know anyone there when I moved.
Brian Mack, WXXL: Leaving the nest and going off to college…haven’t looked back since!
R Dub! Z90: Visiting North Korea in 2016. Daring or stupid, not sure.
Matt “MJ” Johnson, KUDD: A career in radio, that’s pretty dangerous. I was smart enough to go get a real job but I didn’t.
Max Volume, KOZZ: My band opening for Aerosmith. 7/3/15 -Lake Tahoe Outdoor Arena at Harvey’s.
Gina Gray, WERO: Tubing with sharks…never again!
Paul “Cubby” Bryant, WKTU: Doing a morning show with Whoopi Goldberg.
