This week on The Hurley Edition, Rich Shertenlieb of The Toucher & Rich Show joins the podcast. Rich shares the truly unbelievable stories of his hometown of Kennesaw, Georgia (6:10), and how he successfully escaped (15:30).  He also discusses how he planned to pursue a career as a rock star before beginning his radio career (18:15).

Rich talked about his mind-set when recording bits in situations that most people would find very uncomfortable or awkward (28:20), and talks about the time he gave fake Star Wars spoilers to a room full of nerds who got dressed up to see the movie (30:20).

Rich got into his relationship with Fred Toucher, discussed the secret to having a successful morning show (34:35). 

He talked about how surprising it can be to meet people he's made fun of for years, like Bronson Arroyo (42:08), before explaining his background as a sports fan (45:00). That includes the odd sexual attraction that many women in the '80s felt toward Kevin McHale (46:10). What was that all about, anyway?

On a bit of a more serious note, Rich discussed his wife's battle with cancer and his family's experience of being in the middle of the Boston Marathon bombing (52:20).

They close out the conversation on a lighter note, like how he got Charlie Sheen to come into studio at the height of his popularity (1:06:00) and how he got to ask Madonna a question about A-Rod at the Super Bowl (1:09:30).
