I have decided to become a radio personality when I grow up. And I decided to grow up starting this Thursday at 7 p.m. on 1230 AM in Las Vegas. What happens in Vegas no longer stays there, because we’ll be talking about it on our show.
Whom Do You Trust?
About fifty years ago Johnny Carson and Ed McMahon had an afternoon television show entitled “Who Do You Trust?” I remember years later Johnny saying that correct grammar would have been “Whom Do You Trust?” I’m going to trust that Johnny was correct.
Apples and Oranges
The M recently held a 2-week-long point invitational challenge. I ended up winning it, but that is not what this column is about.
MGM Resorts International Rolls out M life Play...
