Matthew West Writes Another Catchy Song On The Spot

We already know that Matthew West is the master of turning the most mundane things into beautiful music, based on how he’s composed songs from Wally’s hate mail. This time, we decided to challenge him to write a custom jingle for one of our listeners. We got Daniel the Uber driver on the phone to tell us a little bit about his job, and then we watched Matthew work his magic. It’s nearly impossible not to get this tune… … Continue reading

We Steal Jason Gray’s Phone for a Special Edition of Photo Op

In honor of our Picture Perfect photo contest, Jason Gray played a special edition of Photo-op with us, where we stole his phone and had him explain the last 3 photos he took. Wally had some….interesting photos to share as well, but the best part of the game was the story behind one of Jason’s photos. Jason also opened up more about his divorce and what he learned walking through that season: … Continue reading

Boys Will Be Boys (Unless We Teach Them to be Men)

It can be scary to raise children in a world of Harvey Weinsteins. But the good new is, all is not hopeless. We have the ability to change the world by raising our boys to be men of integrity. A friend of mine put a list together of “rules” for her son as he grows up, and we added a few to the list: Eat lunch with the new kid. Give credit. Take the blame. Say you’re sorry….there’s no… … Continue reading

Things Get Explosive with Kirk Cameron

Wally faced off with Kirk Cameron in a game involving all things “revival” and “resuscitation.” Every time one of them got a question wrong, they had to inflate their balloon until one of them popped. We’re still not sure when we’ll be done inhaling those balloon particles! Kirk also talked about the possibility of a “Growing Pains” reunion, if he’ll ever appear on his sister’s “Fuller House,” and, of course, all the details for his upcoming… … Continue reading

Meet the Winner of Our Picture Perfect Photo Contest!

We had so many amazing submissions for our Picture Perfect Photo Contest, and we finally narrowed it down and selected this submission from Morgan to win the family photo shoot with a professional photographer. My mom and dad have 10 kids. Five of those are adopted, and of those five, each one has a disability. My parents are amazing!

Who Wore It Better: Wally or Bekah?

When Bekah first received her new eyebrow makeup, it was a little terrifying. We weren’t sure if she applied it wrong, or if the product itself is inherently flawed. So we decided to let Wally try it out to see if he could rock the fierce brows more effectively. Vote below for who you think wore it best! In case you were wondering, this is how Wally ended up with his unibrow: … Continue reading

The Best Worst Singing You’ll Hear Today

To celebrate the 35th anniversary of Disney’s Night of Joy, we decided to play “Scary-oke” by singing along with songs by Night of Joy’s artists. Obviously, our singing makes it scary enough, but it gets worse when the music plays so loudly in our ears that we can’t hear how tone deaf we really are. For extra fun, turn on the captions to see all of the words we accidentally invented! … Continue reading

The Versions of the Bible We Definitely Don’t Need

It’s wonderful to have translations and versions of the Bible that make it easier for everyone to understand. But some versions may be unnecessary…like this one from author Sara K. Runnels, who wrote a “Millennial” version of Genesis 1: In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. #CreationGoals #EarthIsBae Now the earth was formless and basic, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was lowkey hovering over… … Continue reading

Does God Understand Our Hurt?

Wally, I listen to your radio show every day! In fact, for the last 3 years, WAY-FM has been all I’ve listened to in the car. Last year, my husband and I separated, and I felt my world was ending. Your show–the music, your banter, and the jokes–helped me through what I thought were my darkest days. Seven weeks ago, my 17-year-old son took his own life. Now, my faith in God is barely hanging on. I haven’t… … Continue reading
