Dave Wheaton

I wasn't born in Texas, but I got here as quick as I could. I'm originally from Battle Creek, Michigan (home of Tony the Tiger). I've got two kids who take up most of my time out of the office, but when I get "me time", I'm either taking in some live music or a sporting event. Since relocating, I also fell in love with the Texas music scene. I've been lucky enough to be nominated for DJ of the Year 4 straight years by the Academy of Texas Music, and was the 2009 recipient of the Academy's Palmwood Award. I'm a huge sports fan, and my loyalties are with the Michigan Wolverines, Chicago White Sox and (sorry) the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Dave Puts His Kid’s Hair in a Ponytail Using a Vacuum Cleaner
Sometimes I see a video that is so cool, I have to try it myself. A while back, I saw a dad put his hair in a ponytail, and it took him about 5 seconds using a vacuum cleaner. Weird, I know. But since I'm not a stylist, I think it's finally time I tried putting my daughter's hair into a ponytail with help from a vacuum.

‘More of a Man’ is Dave’s Favorite Rodney Carrington Song
‘More of a Man’ is Dave’s Favorite Rodney Carrington Song
Rodney Carrington is one of the funniest stand up comedians in the world. When he comes to Abilene on his 'Here Comes the Truth' tour January 23rd, he'll be armed with plenty of fresh new jokes and songs to share. While the new stuff will likely have me doubled over laughing, I won't be disappointed if Carrington breaks into his classic, 'More of a Man'.

Talking Dogs Could Be a Reality in the Near Future
Imagine instead of waking up to a whimpering dog with the need to pee, hearing a Siri-like voice uttering the words, "Would you please get your lazy butt out of bed and let me outside?" That day may not be too far off.
