How good was it to watch the Red Wings hoist the Stanley Cup last night? It brought back a flood of memories.

One of those memories was a young Darren McCarty coming by the radio station in the middle of the night. That was the first time I'd ever met him and we've been friends ever since. I've played lots of hockey with him, golfed, saw concerts, live events like the Trailer Park Boys and so much more. I could write a hundred blogs about stuff I've done with DMAC. 

I texted him last night and asked what words of wisdom I should put in here. He replied "Toughest athlete in all of sports is a guy you look eye to eye with, Marko Stunt" I googled him to see how tall the AEW wrestler is. He's 5'2, so I'd look eye to forehead on him! Tonight on Fox Sports Detroit it's the Cup winning game from 1998.

On the latest episode of Talkin' Rock with Meltdown it's the Jackyl front man, Jesse James Dupree. He tells me what he's been up to, why he started playing a chainsaw, collaborating with a Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame member, the bourbon business and tons more. You can listen to it here.

Meltdown started on the mighty WRIF on the evening of Halloween, 1995. Technically, his first on-air shift was the morning of November 1st. Moving to the Motor City from Buffalo, N.Y., he has built a career and family. Over his almost three-decade stint at RIFF, he's had the privilege to work with some of the biggest personalities in Detroit radio history. He boasts of being just the second-afternoon drive jock in the station's illustrious 53-year history. Along with his love for rock music and attending concerts, he's also an avid Harley-Davidson enthusiast and hockey player. He plays year-round and manages to squeeze in a few charity games throughout the year. Meltdown writes about the Detroit Red Wings, rock music, and Detroit concert venues.
