When you look at the above picture the Irish dude is very lucky and his eyes are smiling! The young lady…….not so much. Not only she had to stand next to Scoop Stanton, but she had to take the selfie!
In some seriousness, It happened to be the Saturday before St Patrick’s Day, and Danila and I were invited to the best St Patrick’s Day party in DC. I tried my Irish luck once again. I reached out to Mike and Heather to see if they could come on. Mike was in and Heather could only do one segment. I was happy with that. The whole family was coming on! The First Ladies of Radio would open and close it!
I roll up to the house and I see Danila’s car. On time. Woman after my own heart. I knew our good friend Ed Huebner is already there. The man is more punctual than the Tokyo subway system. Danila was still in her car. She must have just arrived (obviously). She gets out and it looked like something from a Hollywood movie! My exit from my car looked like something you see at a DUI car stop on “Cops!” We said hello and complemented each other. She looked like a million bucks! She also fixed my hair as it some of it was way out of place. This is why I love and appreciate this woman. She takes the time so I look my best! As were walking to the house she looked glamorous and I looked humped over and haggard carrying a case of Guinness! I told her that I needed to take a lot of pictures of her because my work wives” want pictures. I came up with idea of calling one of my “work wives” because I knew she was at work. I couldn’t get the face time or whatever you call it on Andrioid to work so Danila suggested a video! I shot it with me way out of the picture! The girl at work thought it was a hoot. Danila also took a bunch of selfies with me. Not only did she pose but she had to take the picture as it was not my forte. I took selfies of the backyard, the back of people’s heads, my thumb. But like everything else, she was triumphant. More about the party later.
The show was going to be: Fani Willis, The FDNY still going after members for the booing of New York Attorney General Letitia James, Saint Patrick, our love of women, and whatever else to fill the time. I had Danila stay in the house because it got cold outside. The show starts off and I had Thin Lizzy added to the intro. We’re off and Heather absolutely destroyed Fani Willis! If the show ended right there it still be one of the top five shows! Unfortunately Heather couldn’t stay, but I do appreciate her coming on.
The next topic was the FDNY. Reports were saying that the FDNY brass was not going after the members for the actions at the promotion ceremony. Wrong! They are going after the members! Liars! Then; it was time for the other First Lady of Radio: Danila. We start off taking about the hoopla over Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day. I complained about my ex and Danila put it into perspective: my ex-wife gave my the most precious gift: my children!
Then it was on St. Patrick’s Day and all the foolishness I get into including getting drunk and taking off my shirt. Then Walter starts talking about my green nipples! Then Danila chimes in and tells everyone I was showing my green nipples at the party!
The last segment I had nothing. Danila whispers “green nipples” and Mike asks where I put the Shamrock! I told Mike this was a family show and Mike replied that I answered his question! I started to talk about bringing back the “Black Patches” then I figured we had four out of five of us we could do an impromptu anniversary show. I threw it over to Danila who said that she liked doing the show sitting next to me with my green nipples! Then I mention I might be able to finally meet Walter at the Political Cesspool’s gig, and he told me to wash my green nipples!
The party was just as much part of the show! I can’t thank Luciano De La Torre enough! His parties is what I imagine one gets when they reach the gates of heaven. Great food and great people! I haven’t talked to so many nice people in DC ever! There was no DJ so music was provided by YouTube, and it worked! The house sounded like a club! Unfortunately the show was over when Luciano popped outside. But; there’s always a next time! Every time I do a show over there, we kill it! I don’t know what it is, but I’m thankful! I would have shook my money maker, but my feet were hurting due to my new shoes! That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it. Special shout out goes to Alessandra Griffitt who helped me behind the scenes. Unfortunately she couldn’t stay to watch Danila hit a grand slam on the air!
I can’t be more proud of 75 Radio. I’m proud of the content we put out and more importantly proud of the people I call family.
