The John DeBella Show

Allman Brothers leader Duane Allman was killed on October 29, 1971 when he lost control of his motorcycle and drove into the side of a flatbed truck in Macon, Georgia. He was only 24 years old. This morning author and musicologist Chris Epting explained the accident, where exactly it happened, the impact it had on the band and even dispelled myths surrounding the tragedy.

It's not every morning you get to interview someone from Hawaii, but it figures the person who had that honor was comedian Bert Kreischer. We didn't ask if he simply stayed up late or decided to wake up early to be on the show, perhaps because we were immediately struck by his surfing claims. He told us about his kids' ignorance to his celebrity and material, why he had to take down a TikTok video for one of them, and the new controversial hobby his daughter took up in school. Listen!

She's one of the top female comedians in the world and just released another Netflix special, simply called, "Jokes." Whitney Cummings was back on the show this morning and did more nostalgic recollecting of her time spent living here (and deflecting John's advances to go out to dinner). She also told us about how disinterested she is in getting political with her comedy these days. Check her out!

Perhaps the most well-known Doobie Brother joined us this morning to talk about his life in the band. This, of course, is coming on the heels of their newly-released book "Long Train Runnin': Our Story Of The Doobie Brothers, which was co-written by our good buddy Chris Epting. 

Tom Johnston talked forming the band, meeting Pat Simmons, bringing Michael McDonald into the fold, and even having Stevie Nicks as a neighbor in their early years. He also touched on many of their hit songs and how they came to be, including one that forced him to wake their producer up at 3 in the morning!
