Dave Herman happens to be one of Mixed Martial Art's top heavyweights.
That's why it's ironic that he, his wife Madeleine, and their two-month old son Leo, were taken down in a traffic stop that started off bizarre--and ended up with the Titan Fighting Championship athlete being tased with his hands up, complying with a police order.
The police incident report described Dave as "aggressive." What they didn't count on was the aggressive use of a video recorder by Dave's wife.
After the Dekalb County Prosecutor's Office (call and express your opinion at 260-925-1646) released their version of events and charges, Madeleine released her video, which directly discredits the officer's accounts.
Have YOU ever been tased for a broken alternator? With your hands up? While going to kneel to the ground?
Dave Herman has--and his wife video recorded it--and you'll hear about all of it, including the STILL PENDING felony charges--on this episode of The Tom Gulley Show.

You all remember our interview with Lynyrd Skynyrd tour manager--and crash survivor--Ron Eckerman.
You probably also know that Ron lost his battle with acute myeloid leukemia this past May.
Before his death, he met and fell in love with Carolyn Day, who has chronicled the inspirational story of Ron's last days with her new book, The Last Tour.
Although Ron was given very little time to live, and almost died on several occasions, this book is not depressing. It's full of laughter, hope, and a love story that demonstrates selflessness and commitment during an incredibly difficult experience. From finding each other as soulmates, to discovering Ron's condition, and then the endless days of 24/7 care and companionship that followed.
All the proceeds from this book go to the Leukemia Foundation, and you can pick it up on Amazon.

James McEachin is a guest we're honored to have for Veteran's Day.
Because even though this acclaimed actor has appeared in over 150 television programs & motion pictures alongside Clint Eastwood, John Wayne, Bette Davis, and Henry Fonda--he lists his military service as his proudest achievement.
And his story of service is truly unique. Severely wounded in Korea, he'll tell the story of receiving a Purple Heart and Silver Star some fifty years later. And, he'll tell how that story influenced his incredible new film project, The Purple Heart.
He even shares a few readings from the screenplay for the film. One listen, and there'll be no doubt Mr. James McEachin has major acting skills.
His appearances include Hawaii Five-O, The Rockford Files, Mannix, All In The Family, Dragnet, Adam-12, Tenafly, Play Misty For Me, Sudden Impact, and those are just a very few. (And we'll also discuss his record producing career, including working with a young Otis Redding.)
We'll talk about the distinguished military service and acting career of James McEachin on this very special Veteran's Day episode.

Betty Page, in just a few years of modeling in the 1950's, created a look that would span decades.
And then, just as suddenly, she completely disappeared into seclusion in 1959.
Then in 1987, Greg Theakston brought Betty back into the cultural spotlight with his publication, The Betty Pages. Each issue revisited Betty's past modeling, and the era that she thrived in. Soon, her trademark bangs could be seen everywhere.
Greg joins us to talk about Betty's life, her reasons for going into total seclusion, and the conversations she and Greg had regarding her status as a cultural icon. Plus Betty's thoughts on posing without any clothes on.
It's an episode all about the one and only Betty Page--told by creator and publisher of The Betty Pages, Greg Theakston.
