The first cigar of 2026. Happy New Year!

I'm sitting here watching the New Kids on the Block on ABC's New Year's Rockin' Eve, wondering when they became "The Middle-Aged Men on the Block." I guess at the same time as me. Have a wonderful New Year's, everyone.

When I first walked into the WFRE/WFMD studio, Tom Whalen warmly welcomed me and, every day since then, treated me like family. Tom is a Frederick legend and will be missed on the air. It was an honor to work with him and laugh with him during the mornings that I was blessed enough to work there. Enjoy your retirement and the cigar you've earned it. I love you, my friend, and as you always tell me, you're always in my prayers.

I am pleased to announce that my next chapter in radio is set to continue in one of the top 10 Markets in the country. I have accepted a position with Cumulus Media, the second-largest radio company in the country, which owns over 400 radio stations nationwide. I am excited to join the Cumulus Family as a producer on the Derek Hunter show, airing on powerhouse 105.9 WMAL in Washington, D.C., alongside my colleague and friend Derek Hunter. I am deeply honored to be part of the WMAL family, which marks a significant milestone in my radio career. I am grateful for this opportunity and look forward to being part of the team.

Think before you risk your life or the lives of others on the road. Thank you to SOS Safe Ride - a program of The Safe Ride Foundation, for all that you do.

It is a nasty night weather-wise. Stay home if you can, and thanks to those we often don't give enough credit to, the ones taking care of our roads.

Just a heads-up: two not-so-bright but extremely tough individuals are reportedly attempting to break into homes. If you see these two, call the police. They've survived 3rd degree Burns, Electrocution, Fractured vertebrae, Broken Necks, and fractured skulls, so they're like the Terminator, minus the intelligence. Merry Christmas, all from your pal Cruizin' Chris Michaels

I tried one of those AI image games with myself. Yeah, this looks just like me, maybe after downing 2 cases of beer and 10 shots of whiskey, and if you have Stevie Wonder's eyesight.

My mornings at WFMD were always fun working with this guy on our sister station. One of the best people to do it here in Frederick. I love ya, buddy, and congratulations on your retirement. Now we'll have time for that cigar. Radio won't be the same in Frederick.
