SALT Salt, who grew up in Wilmington, DE , got his unique nickname while in school at Virginia Tech . He happened to be drunk one morning and was angrily shouting down the hall because no one would watch The Love Boat with him. Salt left Virginia Tech and earned his degree from the Art Institute Of Philadelphia . Salt began designing furniture, and was once contacted by MTV to design some pieces for the cable network's summer beach house. Salt also worked in construction, owning his own company in the Raleigh, NC area until 2001 when he moved to Richmond, VA to pursue a career in radio. He began working for Clear Channel as a weekend host on alternative station 102.1 The X and a weekend producer for Sports Radio 910 . Salt quickly rose to producer and then co-host of the Mike Maniscalco Show on the sports station. By the time Salt left Richmond (without his beloved cat Muscles ), he was also the station's promotions director. He loves Tattoos , and has several. He recently revealed on air that his tattoo artist of choice is named Lacy. She works at Phoenix Tattoo in Raleigh. Salt's mother hates his tattoos and is often disappointed when he unveils a new one to her. His love of tattoos has inspired Demetri to get one of his own. Salt claims to be able to read upwards of 80 words per minute and lift 50 pounds over his head. Salt also enjoys . He loves Comic Books and is a fan of NASCAR and the Tennessee Titans . DEMETRI THE GREEK Demetri is actually Greek . His dad came to the US from Greece in the 1970s. Demetri grew up in Mobile, Alabama , where his radio career began at the age of 15 as an intern for Baldwin Broadcasting's WZEW-FM. After graduating from the University Of Alabama , Demetri moved to Birmingham, Alabama with his then girlfriend and now wife Sally. He worked as the promotions director for WODL . When that station flipped formats, Demetri was moved to nights on sister station WBPT - a job that Demetri says exposed him to the awful music of Benny Mardones , whome Demetri believes is a child molester. We recently found out how much Demetri loves Bruce Springsteen And The E Street Band . He has never made it a secret, but the degree to which he is devoted to the band has shown during interviews with Steven Van Zandt and in "The Battle of New Jersey." Demetri chose Springsteen and Salt chose Bon Jovi . Listeners had to call and vote on which they liked better. After Bon Jovi won, Demetri began berating the listeners and calling them names and then refused to continue with the show. Demetri is a die-hard fan of the New York Yankees and the Durham Bulls . He and his wife have hard arguments because Demetri wants to name the couple's first son Don Mattingly . He hates most animals, but has said on many occasions that he would like his own Black Bear , which he would name Paddington. He has been called a " Geek " by comedian Christopher Titus and "fat" by North Carolina State football coach Tom O'Brien . OTHER CHARACTERS AND FRIENDS OF THE PROGRAM
