Host
Heidi Hamilton of the Heidi & Frank show is the girl next door who is just one of the guys. She's the kind of girl who can dress up and look like a lady on Saturday night but call her on Sunday morning and she'll help you move a couch too.
Heidi thinks of Frank as an older brother who she loves, but would sometimes like to strangle. Heidi has a laugh that people either love or hate, but you can't help but recognize it immediately and wonder what in the world could be so funny? When Heidi isn't doing the show she spends her time taking care of her 4 dogs and 2 cats, running, drinking wine and working on her house.
She always has some project underway. Heidi is in her tenth year with Frank and when asked what her favorite thing about doing the show is she said, "getting paid to laugh every day is my favorite thing....well, that and getting to have a liquor cabinet in our office. Pretty sure ya can't have that at most jobs"

Erik Scott Smith
Producer
Erik Scott Smith (AKA "Smeez") the Producer is just happy to be hanging out with the "cool kids" for once. Constantly teased for his love of killer whales, extremely embarrassing stories, and somewhat effeminate qualities, Smeez takes it all in stride. After all, he eventually finds a way to get revenge on the other two. Although they poke fun at Smeez, Heidi and Frank consider him the nerdy little brother of the crew.
In the hours he isn't working on the show, he is performing in Frank's web series Squatters (squatterstheseries.com) and auditioning for other acting gigs. Although he has shared the silver screen with actors like Colin Farrell and Mandy Moore, to Heidi and Frank, he's still...just...Smeez.

Wow. Wow. This was so cool to hear these guys again. I remember the premiere of The Mark & Brian Show in Los Angeles on September 8, 1987 vividly. I was 21 years old working Security Guard on the Graveyard shift that ended at 6:00AM which was the start of their show. I was bummed that they replaced Frazier “The Fraze” Smith and thought they were just a couple of weirdos but listened to them on the drive home. For the next 25 years these guys became a staple of Southern California pop culture. You’d hear them passing by a construction site, in a liquor store, you could be at a red light and hear them from the car next to you and look over at a stranger laughing as hard as you were. M&B were an extended family much like Johnny Carson was when we grew up as kids. This was truly a treat and an awesome blast from the past!

I used to listen to M&B walking every morning to high school on my CD/radio walkman for four years and all thru college. These guys always made mornings great.

I hope these guys do another reunion show. I listened to them every single day of my 32 years in California and they truly brightened many a day for me. Miss them

Marks Laugh and Brian's quick wit always made my mornings awesome. Iconic.... Thanks Frosty, Heidi and KLOS for a last great 25 minutes.

I love & miss those geezers so much! I hope y'all at KLOS are going to upload their show to YouTube later, if you can. When they finished, I was so happy and yet so sad. Lots of laughs, lots of weepy moments. Thank you for having them on! And I bet they'd do a daily show again if they could be on from 3-7pm, so get to work on that, eh?
Stephen Barlock
Do something like this once a month or something, in the afternoons. You still have a HUGE following here in So Cal. and it is still funny as hell hearing it again. I had to pull over coming home from work and just starred at the radio in disbelief as to what I was hearing. Today was a great day in Southern California. Cheers!

I used to listen to M & B on 100.7 KQBZ-FM 'The Buzz' Seattle back in 1999-2003. I was bummed when The Buzz dropped them. The station switched from talk to country (100.7 The Wolf) on November 30, 2005.
Kevin Waters
I miss these two guys! I remember when they started. I moved to the Seattle area and was happy their show was being broadcasted on a local station. I miss their Christmas shows and the Friday end of the show, Naughty Slutty Confessions. I remember the skit they did about Arnold Swartaneager, his wife, and the maid. I would listen to the show in the office, I laughed so hard I fell out of my chair laughing when they did that skit. I was also listening to them when the attacks started on 9/11/01.
Doug Crosby
Totally Cool !! Mark & Brian... omg!! You guys always made the morning drive funny. Such great radio skits and you'd never know what to expect every morning on KLOS thanks to Mark & Brian.
Shelli Herron
I miss them so...
I was one of the "original listeners" and had the privilege of calling in twice, and to be put on the air both times. I remember Brian calling me "Shell", I was absolutely star struck.
Also went to see The Torries and my local fair, and Mark and Brian opened for them. Got to meet them in person. They are just naturally goofy 😋
They are so missed.
I wish them only the best! I can't name all my favorite bits, cutcha guy was definitely up there. And hearing Mark laughing in the background made it all more funny!
Lovin you guys
Be good humans
