Happy New Year and Welcome back!
Welcome back, we’re back to live radio today!
I hope everyone had a good set of holidays (Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, Yule, Boxing Day, New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Day, etc.). (My apologies if I spelled any of those incorrectly).
They are also saying that there will be a hint – I think they mentioned at 7:30?
The Show – Sept 11, 2009 Dave Lamont and Alice Cooper
I don’t know how much or how often I’ll be able to make posts like this since I do start work at 7am Mon-Fri but I’ll see if I can and update the post as the show goes on.
Dave Lamont is back, even if it is just for the day, I’m sure most people appreciate hearing his voice back on the radio.
The interview with Alice Cooper went extremely well. Alice is performing at the Pompano Beach Amphitheater (tickets start at $33). Alice announced that $1 of every ticket will go to the food bank. Alice also commented that even though he loves to play golf, his “character” on stage hates golf. 
There will also be a contest where one person will win the opprotunity to “throw out the balloons” during the concert’s closer, “School’s Out” (which Alice said is the main “party” song). Alice was a great interview, down to earth and he at least tried to be funny.
Ben Bailey from the Cash Cab was on talking about the Cash Cab and his comedy shows. Ben actually had to go to a cab school and get licensed to drive a cab before he could do the show, including a drug test and background check (neither of which he was “prepared’ for). Ben is also appearing at the Improv Comedy Club in Hollywood this weekend. Tickets are still available.
Paul gets recruited to the Navy and Lisa on the show.
I’m going to see if I do have the time to be able to post recaps about the show but it may not be consistent or include all significant topics due to work.
Paul got a letter from the Navy recruiting him. He did call the contact # on the form but they’re waiting for the Navy to call him back.
Which Marlins is #6 of all times? He’ll be on the show soon.
8:00 hour – Lisa Lampanelli, a.k.a. “The Queen of Mean”, will be on the show.
Never Gonna Give Your Teen Spirit
I’d like to give a thank you to OMG for sending me the link to this. When they played it last week i thought it was great.
Mike’s “Trial”
I think OMG is not guilty. He told the cashier about the beer and she chose NOT to ring it up. I think we’ve all been in the situation where someone forgot to charge us for something and we didn’t say anything. The cashier didn’t ring it up so why is Mike guilty?
Despite what Paul is saying – no one is going to get fired over this, the store will write off the case of beer as “shrink”. I spent many years working in grocery stores (bagger up to department management), I know for a fact that unless they suspect it is someone doing it over and over, they will only write off the case of beer. I double OMG is going in there every week to steal beer.
Harry-oki (With Dave Lamont)
HarryOki this morning had a great guest caller- Dave Lamont!
Dave Lamont beat out Dom Hererra – it was good to have Dave back.
BUT – Quiet Riot COVERED “Cum on Feel the Noize” – it was originally done by Slade (IMO Quiet Riot killed it).
This week’s Harryoki was pretty easy for me.
The biggest billboard
What the hell, I’m offering this site up for the “biggest billboard”. According to traffic history, this site gets at least 100 visitors a day Monday though Friday and about 50-75 a day Saturday and Sunday.
If I am not on the ballot and you would like to vote for this site (I don’t know how voting will go) just enter YouCantWin.net.
Good luck to all the contestants!
Today’s You Can’t Win and Paul’s challenge part II
I have to say this was the best April Fool’s Day joke they’ve ever played – this even beats OMG’s Halloween prank last year. I started to lose reception around mile marker 44 on Alligator Alley but I was able to bounce between Big 105.9 and The Gater 98.7 but I started to really lose it around mile marker 80 so I actually took an exit near there, pulled over and took out my laptop and aircard so I could listen though web radio. This was classic. If I had been in my office I would have called in to play along.
I have to admit – OMG deserves something from this – he is such a good sport considering what they do to him. (Plus what a great job with the prank – the cast, the sponsors, and the callers all did a great job!)
So the big question is – when did you know it was a prank? When Eric got the first question right I thought that it could be extremely possible but once he got into the story with the second question, I knew something was up (although it was great to listen to!).
As for Paul and the Quantum of Solace – I put the movie at the top of my queue on Blockbuster.com (the same day I returned my three movies). The three were received late Monday, this movie shipped out yesterday and I got it today. I don’t know why Paul was saying some time in May with Netflix but I got mine in 3 working days. (and if it is because he was on a free trial, you’d think Netflix would make them a higher priority so they might actually sign up?).
