    OMC: Something apparently does fit, since you guys are always number one, two or three in the market.

    DL: We've never been number three (laughing).

    CK: Write that down!

    OMC: What are you doing that's so right?

    DL: I don't know. I have no clue.

    CK: I really love working with Dave. He's sort of like my brother/on-air husband, almost. In a weird way, I spend a lot of time with him and Kevin. We get along really well, and that translates.

    DL: I think great chemistry is the key, and people appreciate listening to people just being themselves.

    OMC: Do people like the familiarity of waking up to your voice? Do you get a lot of feedback and compliments?

    DL: We get a lot of feedback and e-mails every day. They tell us we have a lot of listeners. But the feedback is more a reaction to what's being talked about on the show.

    OMC: People are usually complaining when they send us feedback.

    CK: That's the nature of the beast. People like to complain.

    OMC: What's it like working with KB?

    DL: He's just Kevin. What else can I say? I love him to death, because he's very funny. He's like your little bad brother. Every now and then you have to reach over and tweak his ear and say, "Stop that!" He's so lovable.

    OMC: Sometimes you two butt heads a little, Carole, don't you?

    CK: I think we all have similar viewpoints on how we want to live our lives. Butting heads? No. Fun disagreements? Yes.

    OMC: We're you freaked out when management temporarily fired him?

    DL: It was just a weird time. Almost a Twilight Zone.

    OMC: We've found that our readers love hearing about the Milwaukee media. What's the fascination with you guys?

    DL: I think it's that we're with them a lot, and we've been with them for a long time.

    OMC: Do they feel like they know you?

    DL: Yeah. We're like their friends.

    OMC: Because you're on the radio and not on TV, do people recognize you in public?

    DL: Yes, we've been on TV so much with our commercials.

    OMC: Tell me about those spots. I love the Rolling Stones one.

    CK: That's my favorite.

    DL: We've probably done 50 or 60 different commercials. The one you're talking about is the "classic duos." We have more that we're doing, coming up in a couple of weeks.

    CK: We could tell you, but we'd have to kill you.

    OMC: Do you like making the commercials?

    CK: Well, I'm not comfortable pretending to be something other than what I am, so it's kind of hard for me sometimes. I couldn't do it with anyone other than Dave, since he's like a cheerleader. But they're fun. It's just a different way we express our chemistry.

    OMC: Do you miss working with Matt Vasgersian?

    DL: Yeah, definitely. We love Matt.

    CK: Matt is just an unbelievable talent.

    OMC: How did you become such experts on pop culture?

    DL: We watch some TV. This is our job, to know about pop culture, sports and news. For most people it's entertainment; for us, it's our job.

    CK: I think that radio people are a different kind of people, because we have five hours to fill every single day. You spend your entire life researching. You kind of have this big hard drive to reach back into when you need it.

    DL: We gotta kill a lot of time, man. And sometimes we don't know what we're going to talk about.
