A Scoop Thanksgiving

By: Scoop Stanton

Well, you are going to believe this one because its me! I get home from work Wednesday night and was enjoying some yogurt with raspberries. I got a text from my friend Gracie. It turns out her ADD was fighting her OCD and her man was not having it. She wanted a ride to her house. She was at 816 Potomac Ave Southeast Washington, DC! I told Gracie to get her stuff together and be ready. Gracie has more stuff than a family of refugees! I pull up and I’m loading her stuff in the car! Look at the above picture. The trunk is full and so is the backseat! Gracie has her final duffle bag and I shut the trunk. Then…..

A dark sedan pulls up next to my car. Mind you the engine is running and were 20 seconds from leaving. A young man hopped out of the passenger seat and into the driver’s seat of my car! I walked up the door and told the young man to step out of the car. He was wearing a hoodie and a mask! My car is 10 years old with 182,000 miles and needs 4 tires. I have full coverage. I stepped away from the car and off it went! I called 911 and Gracie called Uber! I filed a report and called my insurance company! Ugh! Luckily I was able to get a Lyft home!

I go to work and was happy. Overtime! I also got an invite to a Thanksgiving dinner after work from Brie, at someone else’s place. I’m still there. I get a call at work, the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) found my car. Undamaged! I just had to pick it up at a lot! Hot dog! At quitting time one of my work wives is giving me a ride over to the place. I had no clue who’s house it was! It was the home of one of Ed and Dani’s friends! I told Brie I was here and Brie told me to bring in the “wife.” And the poor girl agreed to come in. I love the fact that my work life is intertwining with my social life. Hell, Danila has an open invite to any work function already! I get in and there is food everywhere! I bummed out because I already ate! I did kill two pieces of Boston Cream Pie! And I was “overserved” because it was “self service,” And I got hold of the remote control! These poor people got the hear The Doors and “75 Radio!” They heard me in stereo! As I was polluting their ears at least they got to see a beautiful pic of Danila!

These too kind people let me sleep it off at their house and another house guest got to hear me snore! Now to pick up the DB5. I got a Lyft to Northeast DC right off I-295. It was a raggedy lot with a gate. The police told me it was a 24 hour lot. I called the number and he said they opened at 10. It was 9:30. I got some much-needed caffeine from the previous activities! I returned and it was going to cost me $645 to get my car! Cash only! I had to go the gas station next door and get the money! The little window for the cash dispenser was opened and it looked like a strip club for a second! I got my car, got some gas. Went home got some sleep, cleaned out the car and dropped off Gracie’s stuff, spent time with my kids and went to bed!

But; I can say with all this I am truly thankful for everything. I’m thankful I got my car back. I’m thankful for the people I work with. I’m thankful for all the wonderful people I met and get to hang with on Thanksgiving. I’m also thankful I got my bottle of Jack Daniel’s back! Yes, I’m missing time with my parents and other family members, but I also have another family I love and care for who do not have my last name!

Kamala Harris: Lightweight!

Earlier this week Vice President Harris gave a speech about God knows what. And it appeared she had a couple of glasses of wine before the camera started rolling. All we can say is: lightweight! We here at “75 Radio” are experts on this matter. Unless you can hold your alcohol, stay off the air or internet! Here’s a few people who do a great job broadcasting after a few “pops.”

Scoop: Makes it a point not to drink before show time unless doing a remote show. Then he keeps it to one or two. Except for his birthday show where he was actually better when he was stone sober!

Walter: You can’t tell if he had a belt or two or not. Always even keel.

James Edwards: Can drink a box of wine like a quart of Gatorade and still light up the airwaves!

Charlie LeDuff: Known to come on “75 Radio” after a few pops to shoot the shit. May have had a “few too many” on our October 28, 2023 show.

So madam Vice-President, before you start talking to the world, half in the bag, listen how the experts do it!

Free Chuck Zito!

New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch hit the ground running cleaning up crime in the city by arresting Public Enemy number one: Chuck Zito! Zito’s crime against humanity: possession of a forged instrument. According to Zito, he was stopped on the highway heading to the Throgs Neck Bridge to do some business with the car at a car shop. He was stopped and the arresting officer said that the dealer tag was bogus and was placed under arrest. Zito claims that the registration matched the tag.  Here’s my take on things.

Zito was stopped for an alleged “ghost tag.” When they were running the tag, did they cross reference with the vin (Vehicle Identification Number)? Did they run the vin? Did they contact Florida DMV to verify the plate? And to charge a C class felony!? He’s not Frank Abagnale or some dude in India pretending to be Apple, Microsoft or your bank.

Forget all the penal, and vehicle laws and even Zito for a moment. Look at the car itself. The car is a 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle in mint condition. It’s worth a fortune. Do you think the owner of that car is going to cut corners and risk having that car taken away and being impounded!?

Another question is: where was the boss? Somebody with some sense should have two and two together. This wasn’t someone from one of the chop shops in Flushing in a Honda Accord with a paper license plate!

The New York Post and TMZ really reached for this one.

“The allegedly phony plate on Zito’s Chevelle — identified by TMZ — has appeared on at least two other vintage cars in his extensive collection, according to photos he’s posted to social media.”

A dealer plate is for a person or business that deals with cars. Buying, selling, fixing, transporting or salvaging. You can use the same dealer plate for multiple cars!

75 Radio is Glitz and Glamour!

By: Scoop Stanton

I had the opportunity to attend a fundraiser called Glamour and Glitz DC which was a fundraiser for We Will Survive Cancer and Children’s National Hospital. This event was put on by world famous and patriotic fashion designer Andre Soriano and Gayela Bynum. Both of whom are friends of the show. I knew that our friends Tammy and Brie and others would be there. I wasn’t sure if 75 Radio’s Spokesmodel would be there. So, if she was; that would be the greatest thing since air. And I wanted to surprise her. I roll up to the venue, the CrystalView Wedding and Events in Fairfax, Virginia. My Instagram chirped. Danila took a selfie at the event I just rolled up to. Say it with me: HELL YEAH!

I took a photo of the entrance and texted Dani: “Three guesses where I’m at!” Her response: “Why do you continue to harass me? Leave me alone!” Just kidding! It was: “Yesssssss” with the smiling faces with heart eyes emoji’s! It was now a “75 Radio” event! And she looked absolutely amazing! As usual. First order of business; selfies. My hand was literally shaking. I was nervous. I don’t know why. I bombed hundreds of bad selfies with Dani. And right on cue, she takes the selfie, and she nails it!

I became the official photographer for Danila. What a burden! I might as well be tasked to drink Jack and Coke and listen to Led Zeppelin! I was able to stare and photograph Dani and not be called a stalker. For once!

We get inside the dining hall and Dani and Tammy went to get ready for the fashion show! The 75 Radio Spokesmodel is modeling, and I get to see it! Hell yeah! I sat with Brie Crenshaw who also looked amazing! We were chit chatting then it was kick off. Andre Soriano came out kicked it off and praised the 47th President. Entertainer Joy Villa who wore another MAGA dress was talking like it was a Trump rally! Don’t get me wrong there was a whole bunch of MAGA people there but, this is Washington, DC. Trump is as popular as flatulence in an elevator! At dinner time, Joy gave the blessing again mentioning Donald Trump! I didn’t see Dani or Tammy. I was hoping they got something to eat.

Then it was time for the fashion show! The theme was the First Ladies of the United States. And I had some prime real estate! And here comes Danila! Unfuckingbeliveable! I start filming and I try to get Brie Crenshaw’s attention. I screamed “There’s Dani!” “Brie!” Damn! This very special moment for Danila ruined by yours truly. I came up with an idea. Use music. I wanted to use an instrumental song. No words. Allman Brothers Band. Which song? “Jessica”, “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed?” No, I wanted something more mellow and smooth. “High Falls.” I uploaded it to Instagram it and: wow!

Then right behind Dani was Tammy who also looked amazing! I figured I’ll add some music for Tammy. “She’s a rainbow” popped in my head. And it worked! Here’s Tammy’s clip unedited.

After the wonderful fashion show, it was party time! Yeahhh! Gorgeous women shaking their moneymakers! And Danila didn’t disappoint! Danila can cut a rug! And if she is dancing; so is Scoop! And boy I make Donald Trump look like John Travolta! And I was doing the Trump dance! At one point one of the ladies was stooped over doing some sort of dance move, like the Funky Chicken or Funky Monkey. And Dani slapped the girls bottom! And I was shocked! Why!? Because I was thinking the exact same thing! That’s why I say she is “75 Radio!” But; if I did it; enough said! And of course I didn’t. But I did get some good footage of Dani shaking her moneymaker! Dani was also dancing with another friend who was also gorgeous; and I didn’t get it! Damn!

Eventually we called it a night, and Dani and I were texting when we got home. We texted about the great time we had.

I need to thank Andre Soriano, and Gayela Bynum for putting on a wonderful event for a great cause. Thanks to Tammy, Brie, Brian and everyone else who’s name I forgot for a great time, And of course special thanks to Danila. Thanks for everything! You make everything better! I never smile so much when I’m hanging out with you (and Ed)! You have done so much for me and the show. I am forever grateful.
