This is the official website of Seven Five Radio starring Walter Yurkiw and Peter "Scoop" Stanton heard on Liberty News Radio. This is the radio show that will break your neck, if your neck needs breakin'!
More about that in a second. I was able to get a ticket and time away from the kiddos for the semi annual Gold Cup steeplechase in northwest Virginia. I decided to drive as its a pain in the butt to look for a ride, especially after a Chipotle breakfast! A friend of ours wanted a lift. No problem. We decided to meet at the home of our good friend Dan Ruttenberg. We figured we might end up there at the end of the night. I roll up see an SUV full of stuff and another friend of ours walk in. I decided to be the uninvited house guest again. Walked up knocked three times and heard noise in the kitchen. Dan was washing his blender. I said good morning. He replied: “Good morning Scoop? What are you doing here!?” Dan had that “WTF are you doing in my house look! I replied: “I’m here to pick up so and so for the Gold Cup and I saw such and such walk in as we think we’ll end up here tonight.” Then my phone buzzed. Text message. So and so is late! Oops! Dan replied: Ohhhhhh! Would you like a protein smoothie!? Sure! I had one in a Solo cup! I’m not saying it was good, but my next smoothie I’d prefer it in a salad bowl!
Dan and company squeezed into another friend’s SUV. I was tasked to transport some food as I was waiting for my passenger. I took this task as serious as if I was transporting liquor! I sent a picture to show the cargo was in good care. I strapped the liquor bottle in a car seat!
My passenger showed up and were off! I made my poor passenger hear all about 75 Radio and listen to some of the archives. She tried to hop out on Interstate 66, but the doors were locked. We finally made it and it was like parking at MetLife Stadium if was located off a dirt road. We get our gear and made the march to ground zero.
The venue is described as: “a gigantic tailgate party with a horse track in the back.” We roll up and there is everyone! Way too many to name off, but here’s the pics! The ladies of course looked beautiful and classy. as usual! And there were hats everywhere. I couldn’t find my USS San Antonio (LPD-17) hat so I was short.
Scoop and Dan! Enough said!
Here’s my favorite photo. A famous and glamourous model was photobombed by Selamawit Yirga and Luciani Rocha! Don’t worry Dan, we can photoshop the ladies out later!
I had the time of my life! There was a ton of food and booze! Kudos to Luciani for her tuna dish! It was the perfect dish. It didn’t need to be on ice or heated up! I met so many other people. Those I call family and those who will be brought into our family! I was having so much fun, that I couldn’t be like Eddie Mush from “A Bronx Tale.” Didn’t place one bet. Didn’t know when post time was! As the day turned into evening, I called it a day and went home. I was in bed by 9pm!
The Kentucky Derby can go spit! The Virginia Gold Cup is the shit! And it’s because of us!
I need to thank Mike Foster. I usually call him “The Photobomber” but this last month he was “The Logistics Master.” Tickets, parking passes, tables, ice, the online chat forum alone was work enough! This could not have happened without Mike. Now I know what the Allied Forces did before that day in early June! I really look forward to October, but one of my financial burdens is having a birthday around that time!
Our friend Dan Ruttenberg has a charity called Poker Players Who Care. He wanted to throw a shindig to thank the people who participated. Usually he has something for Saint Patrick’s Day, but this year he wanted to do something completely different! Ane he certainly did!
Dan held the event in McLean, VA at two venues! First the Star Hill Biergarten on the 11th floor of one of the Capital One buildings, then the Star Hill Brewery downstairs in the same building! The theme is everyone wear something red, white and blue!
The weather was perfect and we came out deep! Since I knew I was going to be there and there would be live music playing and I’ll be doing 75 Radio, I decided to get a hotel room! Before the 11th, Dan asked me if I was coming and if I was going to do the radio show! Of course! I try not to miss a Ruttenberg event and I’ll do the show even if my next wife is giving birth!
Everyone was dressed in red, white and blue! Dan’s sneakers actually lit up! One lady you see pictured above was dressed as Lord Fairfax’s wife! Then it was showtime! And of course there were “This is 75 Radio” moments. Both Mike and Danila were out sick, and Ed was MIA! But we have Dan coming on! We walk to my hotel room. Dan tells no one and has no clue what he’s going to say! We stop at the hotel bar for a quick one! Dan is perfect for 75 Radio! Dan comes on and kills! Meanwhile his phone is blowing up because he told no one! The segment ends and he heads back out before the search party is deployed.
I finish the show and walk back over to the Starr Hill Brewery where the party is still full tilt with the country band twinging away. After last call, the patriots went out to another place, and this old man walked back to his room. Alone!
One of the best parts of the day was the people looking at us. You have a large bunch of people wearing red white and blue, having a good time with a ton of good-looking women. We weren’t a rock and roll band, a wrestling organization, or even a political organization. Not one MAGA hat and not one word of politics spoken. They couldn’t figure us out! When people asked me what’s going on with the colors, I replied: “It’s Saint America Day!” It’s something Dan came up with. I love it. The word “saint” is held with reverence and respect. “Saint’ means something important. Then America. The nation we live in and the nation we love. “Saint America Day” also confuses people even more!
Once again, I want to thank Dan for being a great guest on the radio, his hospitality and his friendship! I can’t recall one time I had a less than amazing time with Dan! I got a feeling he will be on the radio again and again!
This past Sunday the host with the most Luciano De La Torre threw another epic party. But every party he throws is epic! Invited to the party is the 75 Radio DC Crew a/k/a the DC Power Trio! And if two or more members of the 75 Radio family shows up at an event, its a 75 Radio sanctioned event!
It was a Super Bowl/Galentines Day party. Men were encouraged to wear sports jerseys and the ladies were encouraged to wear appropriate dresses! The game was on three televisions, music bumping and the ladies looked amazing! Afshin Photography was also there taking amazing pictures.
I wanted a pic of me, Dani and Ed in the worst way! And the photo is US! Ed is wearing his jersey with matching pants and jacket looking dapped and being the life of the party that he is He’s also pointing to Dani. That’s his trademark. Shift direction to the person he’s with. . Dania is standing between us looking absolutely beautiful (as always) confident and driven. She’s also standing a few inches in front of me and Ed leading us! You go boss lady! Then there’s me. At a Super Bowl party I wear a hockey jersey (same one from last year) from an out of market team. For footwear I am wearing Tasmanian Devil slippers with a Jack and Coke in my hand! For that I say: “This is Seven Five Radio!” And I wouldn’t change a thing!
The other picture I wanted is us with Luciano. Not only is Luciano one of the nicest, most hospitable and funniest people I ever met, but it was at his parties that we did our best show including bringing Dani on. Also in the pic Ed was pointing to the letter “E” in love! I prefer the letter “F” for obvious reasons. Ed was our Field Producer before he became our Field Producer! And I’m showing off my footwear!
The ladies looked amazing, the food was awesome! I was standing at a table and Danila walked up to me and asked if I ate. This is why we love her. Always looking out for others! Of course I ate. The USS Laboon’s (DDG-58) Repair Division’s motto of “Gotta feed the fat kids” still applies! The door opens and I yell “I’m next!” Went in and did my business! I even washed my hands!
I like taking pics on my phone of things that happen in real time. The lovely lady, Mirian Torrez (above) was taking selfies. I asked if I could take her picture of herself taking a pic! She said yes and thank you!
In this pic Ed had flowers for both the men and the ladies. Of course I had no one to give my rose to! I clowned Ed telling him that I knew that the real estate market was tight, but I didn’t think it was that bad! Ed was in producer mode at the party, even though there’s no radio! Ed got the champagne, flowers, passed everything out and gave a speech!
The food was great, Elvis did a great job with the drinks, the music was not my bag (no Allman Brothers Band) the game was who cares!? I want to thank Luciano for inviting me every time. Ed and Dani for putting up with me and being part of the best part of my life, and everyone else who I consider family.
2025 was another banner year for 75 Radio! The picture above says it all. Scoop was a car wreck while Danila looked absolutely amazing as usual! Unlike most other shows we are exactly the same on air as off air. And some of the things we do off air are more incredible than our broadcast, but unfortunately the events didn’t occur at 10pm on Saturday night! Here’s the top 10 events for the 75 Radio family!
10. Army 250: Scoop attends the Army 250 parade on Constitution Ave NW. Got to see the POTUS, SECWAR and the world got to see that the American fighting man is back!
9. MAHA Inaugural Ball: January 19 Scoop got to attend an inaugural ball! He met a whole bunch of great people. Six Whiskey Revival killed with “Whipping Post.” And of course, Scoop ruined the evening by dancing!
8. Mike on No BS News February 12: Charlie LeDuff and Mike dug in deep on crime statistics. We were the only outlets talking about it before everyone else! And the show broadcast on Ray Manzarek’s birthday to boot!
7. We broke the real reason the inauguration was in the Capitol Building! On our January 18 show Mike and John Stubbins did some digging on why the inauguration was being held indoors. We were told it was bad weather was the reason. It was something completely different!
6. CPAC 2025: This was the best CPAC ever. Scoop met so many awesome people. Again, it wasn’t the people on stage with the exception of Donald Trump and Elon Musk. But he finally met Christopher Martini face to face, Barry Morganstein, Shelly Morganstein, Rob O’Donnell, Ian Trottier, John Donovan, John Shattuck and many from the gang in DC. He also went to after party with Under the Covers. And the “after party” consisting of himself, a bag of popcorn and television. And as usual, he had to do the show outside, looking like a bum!
5. Charlie Kirk Prayer Vigil September 14: We had an icon taken from us too soon. Alessandra Griffitt invited Scoop to a Prayer Vigil at the Kennedy Center. Scoop was reluctant at first, but one of his daughters watched Charlie Kirk before he was taken from us. So he went and by the grace of God he was able to squeeze in. The organizers should have held it at the Capital One arena. House Speaker Mike Johnson, RFK Jr, Karoline Leavitt, and DNI Tulsi Gabbard where there. Scoop told my daughter she’s in the same room as some of the most powerful people in America. This prayer vigil was better than church!
4. Mother Stanton called home to the Lord June-July: 75 Radio was started as a radio show. It became a family that talks to the world one hour a week. Scoop was fortunate enough to say goodbye to his mother two days before she passed. He texted everyone in the family and the love and support he received was overwhelming and heartwarming. He drove back to DC for a 4th of July party at Luciano De La Torre’s house. He didn’t go simply because it was another awesome lavish party. He went to see Danila and Ed Huebner for their love and comfort. Again; family! And mom’s service, it was a 75 Radio funeral. It was a Catholic funeral in a Catholic mass. Mom was not Catholic! Father Stanton who was going through some issues wore Scoop’s pants! As Mother Stanton was being wheeled mom out of the church the fire alarm went off!
3. Danila meets Scoop’s family August 9-10: Scoop pesters everyone in DC to go to Yhaundasis, NY. He bugged poor Danila once again and to our utter and complete shock, she said yes! It was probably a condition of her community service! They stop at the local hospital to meet Scoop’s father who was going through some issues. This particular hospital has nothing but wall to wall dirtbags! And here comes this gorgeous blonde bombshell with another dirtbag (Scoop). Dad and Dani hit it off immediately. Scoop’s brother Schreck was flabbergasted that poor Dani came up with Scoop. They went out on the family’s boat and went to a place called the sandbar where boats anchor and people party and Dani was the hottest girl there by a mile! The few ladies up there look more like the Stanton brothers than Danila. Heading into the dock, Dani wanted to take some selfies as the lighting and scenery was perfect. At this moment Scoop knew how the sound engineer for Beggar’s Banquet or Physical Graffiti felt as he was watching Danila take those selfies! The 75 Radio moment of the weekend came when the family dog tore up one of Dani’s shoes!
2. Birthday Show Nov 22: This was one for the books! Walter and Scoop have birthdays five days apart. Scoop notifies the Hotel Heron in Alexandria, VA he was coming, had a room, have 20 people coming and will be doing radio! They welcomed him like he was the pope! Ed Huebner calls Scoop and says he’s wearing his tuxedo, vest, tie, bowler hat and no shirt! Scoop didn’t even bat an eye. Scoop changed up his outfit. Instead of the dark suit with the Rolling Stones tie, he wore a dark suit with a Led Zeppelin tie! Everything was going perfect. Until they went live. For whatever reason the receptionist said Scoop needed to sign a waiver! Which we were willing to do so! So we enlisted Ed Huebner to raise some hell. The show is still going on and Scoop sucked poor mild-mannered Brian Sussman into our black hole to find a room quick! And he did. As soon as we come back from commercials, the lovely Dani is about to come on and we get shut down again! Brian became Luca Brazzi and was giving the hotel management shit! Were in a dark room, the show is going on and what do I do? Take photos with Dani as Field Producer extraordinaire Ed Huebner got us a photographer! As Walter and Mike are doing great, Scoop brings people on the show in the middle of a segment! One lady wished Scoop a happy birthday and hoped that he lives the rest of his life with his true love so she can change his “motherfucking diaper!”
1. January 4th Show: Scoop attend a Chinese New Year’s Party. Charlie LeDuff comes on to join us. The premise would be the top 10 events for 75 Radio then the top 10 insults thrown at Scoop. Scoop introduces Charlie who immediately asks: “Do we start ripping you now!?” It was a full hour of unscripted and unrehearsed insults! It was our second best show ever!
And 2026 is off to a great start! Scoop went to a New Year’s party and this time left with his pants on! Danila has some big changes for DR Wellness and Aesthetics starting January 5th! 2026 also has the Mid-Term elections and Zohran Mamdani assembled the Legion of Doom for his inauguration! And this Saturday, January 3rd we will going through the top 10 events of 2025 and the top 10 insults hurled at Scoop Stanton. Scoop claims that he gets the business because everyone is jealous of him! No they are not!
This weekend 75 Radio was all over the DMV. Not the place where you register your car, but the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia. And I saw “eeeevvveeerrrryyyone!”
First, the kids and I met up with Ed Huebner for the Georgetown Fordham football game. Ed is a Fordham alumni and played for Fordham on the gridiron. Both teams were not that good. Ed wanted to be put in. He was actually bigger than most of the defensive line! Georgetown was slightly better than the Rams. Worst part; no beer! A football game with no beer is like going to a gentleman’s club with no entertainment! But since two people from 75 Radio are there, it’s a 75 Radio event. Hey, those are the rules!
I dropped off the kids and headed up to pick up my friend Lisa. Like every other lady I hang out with, Lisa is a hot. bad ass boss lady. And like every woman I meet, I disappoint them simply by opening my mouth. The crazy thing about Lisa is that she runs in the same circles as me and knows everyone I know! And we haven’t met until June of this year!
We roll up to WINO in Arlington, Virginia for Barry Morgenstein’s book party for Rock and Soul which Barry promoted on 75 Radio. Alessandra Griffitt and Brian Sussman along with Shelly Morgenstein were also there. And Lisa knew everyone!
On Facebook I told Barry no pop music at WINO and when I enter I want “Ain’t Wasting Time No More” playing. And sure as shit, I see DC Mike Echo spinning the ipod and he recognized me before I recognized him. And he played the song! Don’t know if it was a coincidence or not. I’ll take it!
After a couple of cocktails it was time to head to Maryland for Eliza Nguyen’s Friendsgiving Birthday Party. Since it was close to Thanksgiving, Eliza thought it would be nice if it was a Thanksgiving theme. There were plenty of tables for all the people. Kudos to Eliza and everyone for putting it together.
And of course, 75 Radio Spokesmodel Danila Rodrigues was there looking like her typical bad assed self! And since myself and Ms. Rodrigues were there its’ now a 75 Radio event!
The party was going full tilt. Then it was time to go to overdrive. I asked Dani if she wanted to come on. She wanted to have a good time, so she declined! But, she will get some shout outs! As I’m getting my stuff ready walking outside, I saw Dani dancing her ass off! That diverted my attention. Luckily I was walking slowly because I ran into the screen door! Similar to when allegedly Donald Trump ran into a glass door looking at some girls in bikinis!
I get the show up and running. We’re talking about the Epstein nothing burger, and Elisa comes over for the next segment. She kills it! Another gentleman comes on named Kenneth. Kills it! Then at the halfway point we lost our internet feed and I have to phone it in! But Tammy Eanes comes on and confirms that I did wear a bedazzled G-string last year!
As the show goes on, I lose contact with the studio. I hear absolutely nothing, so I say: “Ground control to Major Tom?” A short time later I’m back on with Walter and Mike. Thank God they are on the air! We cross the finish line and I pack up, I walk through the dance floor with my box looking like I just got fired clearing my desk. Across the basement I see Danila sitting down on a huge ottoman which gave me an idea. I threw my box upstairs and grabbed Dani. “Dani I need to borrow you for 10 seconds.” I told her what I wanted to do and she thought it was a good idea. Look, I don’t know much, but I do know a good photograph of Danila when I see one.
Now here’s why Danila is the only choice for our Spokesmodel. As I was taking the photograph, a dude who saw me do radio take the lovely photo of Ms. Rodrigues. He asked me who was that!? I said that Danila. She’s the spokesmodel for the radio show. “Whaaaaaaaaat!?” I said that’s Danila. She’s our spokesmodel for our radio show. I then gave a business card and said to check it out! We did our “Irish goodbyes” and made our way home.
I need to thank everyone I saw this weekend. It’s because of you I’m in a much better place than 5 years ago. I am currently living my best life. The reason why I attend all these functions is the people. If someone was going to have beer at a dumpster fire, I’m there. You are the best the DMV has to offer. Not the politicians, not the media types or other people who think they are something. All of you bring the best out of me. For that I say thank you!
