Our On-Air Team
Biggie
Josh Ellinger, aka Biggie, the producer of the 2 Guys Named Chris Show, has been a member of the show since 2008. He is funny, hard-working, and full of diva spirit. If there’s a complaint to be made, Biggie will make it. Biggie was born in Johnson City, Tennessee on a cold January morning in 1983. It was at that point he developed a lifelong tradition of wearing loose-fitting t-shirts and shorts year-round. He and his family moved a lot when he was a kid. This, more than anything else, gave him his snarky, “I’ll make fun of you before you make fun of me” attitude. Biggie is a hard-working guy who enjoys hanging out with blondes, spending money on useless items, and weekend trips to Vegas. In his spare time, you can find Biggie sleeping or hanging out with his dog Cora. He loves most all sports and claims the single happiest moment of his life was when he went to Chicago to see his beloved Cubs win to go to the World Series. And that’s Biggie in a nutshell…a very large, cavernous nutshell. He’s a great guy to get to know, every weekday morning from 6 to 10 am on the 2 Guys Named Chris Show.
Chris Demm
Chris Demm is one of the few people currently working in radio, who’s old enough to remember when there WASN’T radio. (Full disclosure: he’s OLD, but not THAT old…)
He was born in France and has consistently been a fan of stinky cheese and snobby waiters ever since.
Growing up in Virginia, Demm became fascinated with music, of all kinds. By the age of 10, he was a member of the Columbia Record & Tape Club in good standing, and was soon reading every single fact he could about singers, songwriters, and producers. Once he was old enough to drive, he’d spend hours in various record stores, looking through every single bin before leaving.
This obsession turned him into the rock trivia freak he remains today.
Demm got into radio so his parents could legitimately tell their friends, “We have three sons: one is a doctor, the other a lawyer…and one’s a DJ.”
Since marrying, VERY late in life, Demm has spent most of his free time traveling, and will happily show you his thousands…and thousands…and thousands…of sunset pictures.
Chris Kelly
Chris Kelly was born in 1971 and things were great. His mother immediately began doing his laundry…a practice she continued until he married at age 31. Chris got his first radio job at a little 5000-watt radio station called the Kickin’ Chicken in 1987. They hired him mostly because they needed someone to fill out the chicken suit and provide entertainment for store openings. He’s been working on the 2 Guys Named Chris Show since 1999. These days his favorite hobbies are being told what to do by his wife, Ashley, whom he adores, and accidentally saying things he probably shouldn’t to his two children, Ben and Katherine, whom he also adores…most of the time. You will often find him in the family minivan on his way to buy fast food or pretending to sleep on the sofa so no one bothers him. You may also see him in his beaten-up 1998 Acura Sedan. Most things on the car are either falling off or in some form of disrepair…just like Kelly’s body. To try and stay in shape Kelly plays basketball or tennis on Saturdays where he is often yelled at by his partners…just like on the radio show. You can hear him weekday mornings from 6 to 10 eastern time on the 2 Guys Named Chris Show.
Josie
Born and raised in Western Maryland (where there are more cows than people), Josie became obsessed with music (mostly Garbage, Smashing Pumpkins, and the Beastie Boys) and spent hours pretending to have her own radio show on her family’s karaoke machine. After moving south for school, Josie got lucky when a radio station hired her as a clueless college kid with no radio experience. Some highlights from her radio career: making the 21 Pilots laugh pretty hard in an interview; having a beer with Katy Perry in a Mexican Restaurant at 10:30 AM, and using a fart machine in a crowded Waffle House (the stunt that landed Josie her first radio job).
Now, over a decade later, you can hear Josie on KZQ from 10a-3p during the week. When she’s not on the air or obsessing over new music, Josie is usually running in local races, trying to raise 2 decent kids, and deciding on which tattoo she’s going to get next.
