Hah, those guys are still around? They used to be (our could still be) here in Dallas, and god were they awful. They apparently had huge radio DJ beef with Bubba but then made up, so who knows.

They were the biggest morning show in North Florida for a long time and I think competitors with Bubba for that territory so they ripped each other.

I used to listen to them for years since we didn't get Howard pre-Sirius when I lived there. I remember their biggest "celebrity friend-of-the-show" type person was Carlos Mencia, which pretty much sums up everything you would ever need to know about that show. They had some good bits occasionally, but overall it was kind of a shitfest. They lost a bunch of stations during the FCC's post-Janet Jackson crackdown and they moved from Jax to Dallas.

Thanks! I listened to that show again and Dan was acting like a nut for sure. Was there any actual talk of Dan being banned on air by Howard or the staff after? I could see it happening after the way he acted, I just do not remember hearing Dan had been banned and wondered where you got that info?

He wasn't banned like Elliot Offen. Dan still did work for the show, but he didn't do it in person at the Sirius building anymore. Gary might have explained it on the Wrap Up show at some point.

(I just got off the phone with my dad, and he wound up with "I'll talk to ya later", just like Richard's dad. (Oklahoma and Kansas are next to each other.))

My dad's an okie too, and he constantly reminds me of Richard's father when we're on the phone. It's really charming.

Nah Bubba competed with MJ (and BJ) when he left the Power Pig 93.3 I think. I'm not even certain Bubba's station was broadcasted further than say Gainesville? It's been forever since I listened to morning radio here in Tampa.

Yeah I wasn't sure about Tampa but Bubba wasn't broadcast in Gainesville that I recall but we got him on Tampa stations in favorable weather.

Bubba was on in Jacksonville. He was #1 back when his flagship was 98 Rock, but his new post '08 show failed miserably and the so-called BRN is Tampa, Fort Myers, and Charleston I believe.

How do you do, fellow Regis?
I was wondering if anyone here knew the origin of the sound clip used in one of the phony phone calls, where it repeatedly says 'My name is Cheryl, I believe I am your daughter' and 'Where's Momma!'. It kind of sounds like Richard Simmons but I don't know the context, did he do an audio book or something?

I think he had a health problem? I'm not sure, he actually does exercise classes here in California, a friend of mine went during a groupon visit, people mainly just go to experience Richard Simmons and she said it was pretty fun and he looks really old and skinny now, but he was full of energy.

Howard offended him somehow years and years ago. Howard and Richard were actually quite close once. You can read about it in Private Parts.

Yeah he threw food in the pool.

I just reread the relevant section in Private Parts and the reason why Richard stopped coming in is that he felt that Howard went too far in goofing on him with his sexuality. Couple that with them making a big deal about the story in the tabloids about Richard hiring male prostitutes. The "daddy's girl is a big girl" quote I believe is from that.

I wish they would replay some of his old segments. Richard was insane back in the day. He would come in outfits like a nun and a actual Hetro guy. There is a great bit where they put chickens on a string above the fat people's heads during the interview. Richard would flip out and cry.

God I miss the old show. They should have just brought Jackie back for that very reason.

Did he make it into the studio? I remember Howard called him to try to be all "make a wish", but by the time he got around to it, Will was already well into remission. Howard was so disappointed.
