Hi, I’m Slater, and if I didn’t love my job I would not get up at 4:30 every morning (believe me)! I try my hardest to keep you informed and entertained from 6-10 Monday through Friday on Live 95.9! Fun facts: I regularly check my pulse. I love buying new shoes. I host trivia nights for Bob Heck Entertainment. I sleep with the fan on medium. I love The Beatles. I’m built like a coat rack. I have gray hair and a red beard. My favorite movie is “The Blues Brothers.” I love sushi. I love steak. I’m really good at fastpitch wiffle ball.

Wow, That’s A Lot Of Rain, Remembering Boston’s Rainiest Day
Lightning in the distance was electrifying the morning sky on Thursday in The Berkshires as I was getting into my truck to head to work. By the time I arrived at the studios, it was already raining with more rain in the forecast.

Is It Illegal Not To Display Your House Number In Massachusetts?
I was on a jog this morning and during my normal looking around at the neighborhood houses, I came across a home that had their address displayed in massively sized numbers on their front door. I was like, wow, there is no mistaking what this guy's house number is...
Reminder: If You Bank With Greylock FCU, Your Old Debit Card Won’t Work After Tomorrow…
Listeners of "Slater and Marjo In The Morning" may often hear of how often I check my bank account. The answer? Everyday. Marjo always seems perplexed by this, I don't know why, I mean, it's your money!

Massachusetts Dentists See This Super Rare Condition In Only 1% Of Patients
I just got the text reminding me of my upcoming cleaning at the dentist. I try to go every six months, but at the very least, I go once a year. I don't love tooth pain. I bet you don't either.
A few years ago during a routine cleaning with X-Rays, my dentist found something pretty rare in my mouth, something I didn't know was possible...
5 Hurricanes That Wreaked Havoc In Massachusetts
My first trip to Boston's "Museum of Science" as a child included a special on severe weather at The Mugar Omni Theater. When they got to the hurricane part of the film, I was in awe of their destruction, and sort of oddly desired to experience one, until "Bob" hit in 1991...

I was coerced to go to The Big E over the weekend, well not coerced, but it was insisted that I go. I don't mean to be negative, but there are just SO MANY people!
We actually had a great time and I will never forget the look on my oldest son's face when we were spinning at an alarming rate on the "Tilt-A-Whirl"...

It was 41 degrees on my way into work this morning, and yes I had the heat on in the truck. I had the heat on in the bathroom during my shower as well. So, I left an air conditioned bedroom, turned the heat on in the bathroom, and then in the truck...
