KNUS-AM morning man has a long love affair with crazy radio stunts. Some of his more legendary exploits include sitting in every seat in the old and new Mile High Stadiums and pogo sticking from Boulder to Denver to raise over $3,000,000 for local charities. But his latest event had a more patriotic flair.

Kelley stayed on a swing, going back and forth, for 32 straight hours for the sole purpose of encouraging citizens in his "swing state" to get out and vote. The achievement did break a previous Guinness world record of 31 hours so he'll get his name in the record books. KNUS says close to 17,000 passed by Steve while he was swinging.
