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'!
A so-called conservative media outlet laying off people due to financial troubles. We say: good! We have chronicled consistently how the Daily Wire is some trash! From putting all the most important content behind a paywall, to firing personalities for having a different opinion to having the personalities beating the war drums at every turn, despite no personalities ever gone to basic training or OCS. Then we find out that the Daily Wire is buying subscribers on YouTube to boost numbers. Nice. Speaking of YouTubers, those who used to work for the Daily Wire get more numbers after they leave the Daily Wire.
Then there’s Ben Shapiro. The smug elitist who never had to put in a hard day’s work in his life. Who said people shouldn’t retire. They should work until they croak. The conservative who voted for Hillary but when the winds changed, supported Donald Trump. The man who wants to send our boys to every conflict in the Middle East yet doesn’t have a DD-214. The man who wanted his monologue about pan-sexuals removed from a livestream so it wouldn’t get someone upset and jeopardize sponsors. The man who is not entertaining.
We always wondered how the Daily Wire operates. Despite running in conservative circles, no one we associate with ever said that they saw something on the Daily Wire nor cited something from the Daily Wire personalities. Then when news broke that the Daily Wire and Stephen Crowder couldn’t come to terms on a multimillion-dollar contract, it made us wonder how is the Daily Wire able to offer talent millions of dollars per year.
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!
Well with the shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner (WHCD), the clickbaters are at it again. First, we’ll look at “Clickbait” Benny Johnson. Johnson got the nickname courtesy of Mark Dice. Johnson posted the clip above with the words: “Trump shooting” with the words “Assassin fires on Trump and Melina.” First off, Trump was not shot. Second, no shots were fired in the ballroom. But; did Johnson change or remove the post? Of course not! Then there’s the picture: photoshopped to make it look like the Trump’s were scared to death. Disgraceful. And what’s even worse, Johnson is an alleged conservative.
Then there’s Nate Cornacchia. His handle in the social media universe is Valhalla VFT. A retired Sergeant First Class with the First Special Forces Group. A legitimate bad ass! Cornacchia is saying that the whole incident at the Washington Hilton was staged! We would think as a retired Green Beret he would know the preparation that goes into special and covert operations. And for something such as fake a presidential assassination attempt is an enormous undertaking and in DC, nothing is secret! As of this posting the above clip has received over 400,000 views on YouTube. Our April 25th show has 24 views.
That what makes us different from everyone else! We could have a picture of our spokesmodel in more titillating and explicit photographs for clicks! Or we can photoshop people to get people curious and excited as what the YouTube clip is about. But we refuse to do so. We’re better than that. The clickbaters can do whatever they want. Johnson, Cornacchia and others may get more clicks, but we have a reputation. We do our homework. We wait and see. We put out a good product that both informs and entertains.
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!
People will ask me: “What is Seven Five Radio!?” Good question. The short answer is: “Something else.” This answer is perfect for 75 Radio! We have done things in the radio industry no one else has done. We are an independent show. No big contracts, no program directors, no station managers (no sponsors), just us and the Liberty News Radio family. Also, no staffers, no interns, no production staff and no rules. Just three. Don’t curse, don’t slander and don’t suck. Two of those rules are constantly broken. And we do what we want to do! We had Andrew Giuliani, who was running for New York Governor in the Republican primary come on as a guest host. Not just a guest, but a host! And he brought on his father unannounced! The three photo’s are of the people who make my job easy, who changed my life and whom I love very much. The fisrt picture is of Walter Yurkiw. Walter is that guy we saw on “The Seven Five.” He will break your fuckin’ neck. But: his also one of the smartest, kindest, considerate and sensitive person I ever met! Next pic is the 75 Radio DC Crew at a Super Bowl/Valentine’s Day party. Our Field Producer Ed Huebner in a Sonny Jurgenson jersey with dress pants and a sportscoat with his million-dollar smile pointing at another person in the photo. Next to him is Danila, looking beautiful, classy and sexy standing a couple of inches ahead of me and Ed, next to her is me. Wearing a New York Rangers jersey. New York is the city of our birth for myself, Walter and Mike. We also served the people of New York City as police officers. In my hand is a Jack and Coke, the preferred beverage of myself and Walter. Also I’m wearing Tasmanian Devil slippers at this fancy party, because that’s me. Then there’s Mike Rakebrandt. This man has balls of steel. Mike wanted to be an EMT. In a warzone! Then he joined the NYPD where they told him to get the jab or else! Despite having a large family, Mike stood his ground and told the job to go to hell!
We did the show from birthday parties, trucker protests. CPAC, after parties, at CPAC, racetracks, 4 th of July parties, St. Patrick Day parties, at a strangers house, at a Friendsgiving party, at a sexy suite shootout (whatever the hell that is) and allegedly at a nudist resort!
There are no scripts. We go through the news during the week I talk to Walter and Mike later in the week on the stories were going to cover or the guest were bringing on. That’s it. We have no idea what the others are going to say or ask. We don’t want to. On our January 4, 2025 show we brought Charlie LeDuff on and it was one hour of clowning me. All unscripted and unexpected. It was our second best show. Another time Mike brought on attorney Shannon Stevens who was running for Congress and was talking about election tomfoolery. In the middle of the interview Mike asked Shannon how to file an injunction against me from wearing a bedazzled G string at a pool party! Another guest, Lisa Spoden was on promoting a polo event and a fashion show. Someone asked Lisa if I could be in the fashion show. The guest was like “Okaaaaaayyyy…” Either Walter or Mike said I would look good in either a suit or a dress! Then the poor guest was told that I can walk behind the hoses with a shovel. My response was: “Lisa, welcome to 75 Radio.”
There’s been countless times we would change subject mid segment because we were in the mood. Like the story about Springfield, OH with the Haitian immigrants allegedly eating pets. During a commercial, Walter sent me a picture of a lady’s foot in a sandal.
Walter texted I was in Springfield wearing the shoes and saw an immigrant eat a pet. I forwarded the pic to Mike and Gary Byrne who was also on and the show and the attention turned to me and the insults started flying towards me! We also talk about things that we want to talk about despite having a guest on air! Author TS Dixon came on to promote his book. He was such a good guest, we wanted him to stay on. The last story was Charlie LeDuff going naked on the Ambassador Bridge showing the disparities in tariffs between the US and Canada! I said LeDuff got the idea for the bit from a picture of Danila on a dock over a body of water, and LeDuff possibly wanted to be the male spokesmodel for 75 Radio! This had nothing to do with Dixon or his book, but we wanted to talk about it! Dixon was a great guest and jumped right in!
As off the wall the show is, we have been on point since 2023 when Charlie LeDuff and Mike were regulars and we brought Danila on. In 2026 we have been hitting our stride. Mike pointed out to me In Minneapolis, we said that Renee Good was a mercenary, and that the people were paid by people like George Soros, and it was highly organized. And we said it before James O’Keefe and Cam Higby proved us 100% correct! We told you why New York City was covered in snow and garbage. And we said that Bill de Blasio, Eric Adams and Zohran Mamdani would be terrible for New York! And were only in April! We had a scoop on the real reason why President Trump was inaugurated in the Capitol Building. We brought on Ian Trottier and John Donovan who had evidence on former CIA Director John Brennan that made himself rich while people got hurt. We had our friend Gary Byrne on to talk about the absolute failure on the Secret Service in Butler, PA. Gary was a Secret Service Uniform Officer. We also had guest Larry Ray Hardin come on with an exclusive on processing Afghan refugees at Naval Station Rota, Spain!
As you know we are exactly the same on air as well as off air. We’re actually a little bit more polished on the air. We have said and done things on and off air that says: “Watch me!” From our birthday shows that go off the rails to me wearing Tasmanian devil slippers at a fancy Valentine’s Day/Super Bowl party, to Walter purposely sabotaging a segment. It’s who we are. And in the immortal words of Bill Bratton “It’s what we do.”
As for guests, we don’t book guests constantly. We book guests that we would want to talk to off the air. Guests include: Andrew Giuliani, Cal Thomas, Retired DEA Agent, Larry Ray Hardin, YouTube sensations Brandon Tatum and JB Gunner, podcaster Ian Trottier, author TS Dixon, supermodel and friend of the show Alessandra Griffit, and many former members of the NYPD. For the former members of law enforcement, I started a segment called: “RMP Confessions” where the guest tells a funny or interesting story while they were “on the job” and the story took place after the statue of limitations expired. We also had people featured in “The Seven Five: Michael Dowd and Adam Diaz. Adam thought we were on a podcast so he was talking to Walter like he was in a Martin Scorsese movie! I had to tell Adam that we were on FCC licensed radio! He was very apologetic and kept it clean for the rest of the hour. When Andrew Giuliani was a guest, and running for governor I called his press secretary, Heather Powers McBride. Giuliani was such a great guest, I asked Heather if he would want to be a guest host. Not a guest, but to guest host. And one night he brings on a guest; his father!
We are unlike any other radio show ever. And that’s the way we like it. I consider Walter one of my closest friends. I’ve known him over eight years. We never met face to face. Walter and I haven’t met Mike Rakebrandt, or Heather McBride. Walter also never met Danila, Charlie LeDuff or Gary Byrne. We are the exact same on the air as off. Except off air, the language is much more colorful.
Our first Marketing Director, Mike “The Not So Sexy Intern” Garren got “75 Radio” into auto racing. Mr. Mike Robinette was starting the Topless Outlaw Racing Series. And with a handshake “75 Radio” was the official radio talk show of Topless Outlaws. We even sponsored a driver, Jeff Jackson, who one year was granted the honor of carrying the flag onto the track during the Star Spangled Banner. I told Jeff seeing him on that track with the flag in his car with our logo on it made me prouder than if he won the Daytona 500! This year once again we sponsored Jeff Jackson!
“This is 75 Radio!”
“This is 75 Radio” is our catchphrase for the off the wall antics that we do or when things go to shit! Either on air or off air and it doesn’t even have to do with the show! Here’s just a sample of “This is “75 Radio.”
-Scoop books a guest. The interview is going great until the end when he wanted to promote his storefront church. He says that the LDS, Southern Baptist and Roman Catholic churches are allwrong! The religious beliefs of Liberty Roundtable, The Political Cesspool and 75 Radio are: LDS, Southern Baptist and Roman Catholic!
-Due to a service disruption at Liberty News Radio Walter, Mike Garren, and I continued to do the show not knowing if we were live or not. I signed off as if we were live even though we were dead in the water. After the show Mike Garren said that we had the same number of listeners (just the three of us) as if we were live on the air.
-During our weekly conversation, Walter comes up for an idea for a “radio bit.” It was funny and perfect. Saturday night rolls around and Walter sabotages the bit and I totally bomb the segment!
-Walter, Mike Rakebrandt and I have a group text about the show. Mike adds his two cents and I ask who’s this? He replies: “Mike.” I then ask how did you get this number and why are you on this chat? He asked if he did something wrong. I said no I was just fucking with him.
-February 2024. We bring Mike on as part of our family. Unlike Danila, there is no press release, no Talkers Magazine, and we asked him on the air. The next week, we promote the hell out of Danila at New York Fashion Week, barley mentioning Mike. 2025 Danila is back at New York Fashion Week and I post a huge picture and story. And for the same post, I write two small sentences and include a picture of Mike that’s smaller than a postage stamp!
-November, 2024: Danila and I attend a big fashion and entertainment event. Dani grabs the bottom of my tie and wipes off the camera lens of her phone and returns my tie to the proper place. Neither one of us says a word.
-March, 2025: I get Dani’s permission to do this April Fool’s prank. I state that on April 1, 2026, I’m going to Yhanandasis, NY at the Justice of the peace to marry Dani! And the reception is a place called the Roadkill Grill which serves Greek and Puerto Rican food and the honeymoon is at my parents house with the entire family and six dogs! And the 75 family were congratulating me!
-March, 2025: I’m at Luciano’s for Saint Patrick’s Day! I’m about to do the show on a crowded deck. At showtime, I’m by myself. Then towards the end of the show, Luciano turns off the porch lights!
-December, 2023: I attend a birthday party of Danila and Indu Fields. A photographer takes a photo of me, 4 other ladies and Mike “The Photobomber” Foster!
-March, 2025: I meet up with Danila and she asks me how CPAC went. I was telling her I had the time of my life. I told her about the after party with the DC Crew and wanted to tell her about the “after party” after the after party. Dani said she probably didn’t want to hear such a “hot” story. Well too bad. I went back to my hotel room ate a bag of popcorn and watched “The Godfather” by myself!
-February, 2025: I’m at an afterparty at CPAC! I go on the Cesspool before the band comes on! Home Run. The band comes on at 10pm. The band is too loud, so I have to do the show in the freezing cold!
-February. 2024: Sam Bushman lands an interview with the Trump campaign’s Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt. Sam, James, Danila, Mike’s two friends also had a part of making it work. It was one of Liberty News Radio’s biggest accomplishments! I post it on Facebook. Walter’s response: “WTF.”
-November, 2025: I go to a “friendsgiving birthday party in Maryland for Elisa. I wasn’t sure who was going, except the people at Barry Morganstein’s book party who was rotating in and out. At the party there’s Danila! I bother poor Elisa for the wifi so I can do 75 Radio! As I’m going outside to set up I see the 75 Radio Spokesmodel dancing on the carpet in the basement. I run into the screen door looking at Danila dancing very seductively on the dance carpet in the basement!
-February 2026: Luciano hosts a Super Bowl/Valentine’s Day party. Ladies are to wear their Valentine’s Day best. Gentlemen sports jerseys. Luciano requested a change of footwear due to the snow, salt, and dirt out there. Of course, the ladies bring their heels. And I left my work boots outside and wore my Tasmanian devil slippers!
2026: Mike is in the hospital not in the best condition. I announce that Mike’s not on the show tonight as he’s in the hospital with “explosive diarrhea!”
-May 2025; I was going to do the show at Luciano’s “Cinco de Derby” party but it ended early. I was bringing a friend home in her car, doing the show. No notes, on the phone with 25% battery and no charger as it was an older car! And it was a pretty good show!
I also went to an event called the Exxxotica Expo near my house in 2025. It was somewhat titillating. The big event was the after party at a place called Bourbon Boulevard near the venue. I brought my new HP computer and hooked up to the wifi, and sounded like shit back in the studio. So now I’m back on the phone. It’s freezing outside and now I’m doing the show inside. We’re doing good and the crowd is picking up. About 150 dudes and about five ladies! Then a DJ starts spinning records, so now I have to go in the freezing cold! I should have stayed home!
One good thing about 75 Radio is that everything is organic. We don’t know what the other family members are going to say, nor do we want to. We have three rules. Don’t curse. Don’t slander. And don’t suck. At least two of the rules are broken every week. Here’s a small sample of why we are not on other platforms!
-Summer 2024: Mike Rakebrandt claims I was going to a pool party with a bedazzled g string!
-October, 2023: Charlie LeDuff asks our new personality (Danila) if she’s ever seen the movie “Blow?”
–March, 2024: Walter accuses Scoop of painting his nipples green. Danila “verified” Walter’s accusation. Then Dani utters “Green Nipples” for the rest of the show!
-2024: Mike Rakebrandt claims Governor Tim Walz of drinking horse semen
2024, 2025, 2026: Walter accuses Scoop of cruising for women at nursing homes
-March 2024–Walter claims that Fani Willis was in Brooklyn for “Nathan’s Famous”
-2024: Walter said if trans men want to be women , they should stick tampons and diaphragms “up their ass.”
-2024: Scoop tells guest Brie Crenshaw that he’s “Black from the waist down.”
-2024: When guest Tu-Anh Love asks Scoop about his “self love” Walter replies: “three times a day!”
-2024: Scoop claims he’s doing the show while he is naked (nobody wanted to verify that claim)
On January 4, 2025 Walter, Mike and Charlie LeDuff spent the entire hour destroying me. From me doing the show at a party, to my clothes, to my car, house and “obsession” over Danila. Half the show is just us laughing!
75 Radio goes to CPAC
CPAC: CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) is a major event in the conservative movement. Since its usually held in DC, I usually have the opportunity to attend. The past two years exceeded my expectations by leaps and bounds. In 2024 I met friends of Mike Rakebrandt Diane Lewis and Brenda Alvarez. I met up and we became friends instantly! I had more fun hanging around with them than doing anything else at CPAC. I did the Cesspool and 75 from their room and it was a blast! During my show I said I was in the hotel room with two lovely ladies doing Political Cesspool After Dark. The highlight was Sam Bushman booking Karoline Leavitt as a guest on his show. It was a group effort. Sam at the helm, James Edwards telling me not to mess it up, Danila giving me fashion advice. I even enlisted the help of Brenda and Diane. Diane took pics on my phone while Brenda grabbed a chair for Ms. Leavitt. This was a Super Bowl win for Liberty News Radio. And Walter helps out by putting “WTF” on Facebook! Diane said she loved pics of Dani and she’s a beautiful lady! I had some pics on the phone not suitable for mixed company!
2025 was the pinnacle of CPAC. I saw Tom Homan, Elon Musk, Steve Bannon and President Trump speak! I also went to an afterparty hosted by Steve Bannon. But; the crowning achievement was the people. Not the speakers but the people that I met. I saw Andre Soriano, Mike “The Photobomber” Foster, Elisa Nyguen and too many others from the DC Gang. But Alessandra Griffitt also introduced me to some other folks. Some of the people I met include: “75” guest and movie director Christopher Martini, photographer Barry Morgenstein, radio host Rob O’Donnell who I call a better version of me, (NYPD cop and talk show host), patriot John Shattuck, former FBI Special Agent John Donovan, actress and wife of retired NYPD Sergeant Martha Byrne and podcaster Ian Trottier! All these people let me in their world and made me feel like I was a part of something, I literally just met them. I loved the picture Alessandra took of all of us at the Gaylord hotel and I was the only one looking at Alessandra. It was like I knew I was in a special place. Which I was.
And of course we had a couple of 75 Radio moments. First, I was squatting at a table on Radio Row and had to set up elsewhere in the middle of Sam’s show. Then at the afterparty at Tom’s Watch Bar, there was a band and 75 Radio! I went on the Cesspool where friend Elisa Nguyen listened in to “that radio guy.” She also learned her good friend Danila was part of our crew! Then when it was time for 75 Radio! The band started playing and Liz (our producer) and Icouldn’t hear one another. So I ran outside on the phone doing the show. At 10:30, I grabbedmy gear and did the show outside like a bum. Again! Another 75 Radio moment at CPAC last year was Saturday morning. Most media had to packup. I brought my gear in and set up right on radio row. The table on my right had two guys eating breakfast. The table on my left was empty. I took a picture and sent it to Dani and Alessandra. Both were proud of me! I’ll take it!
Scoop and Walter’s Birthday, 2025
I don’t know if the statue of limitations has run out but here it goes. Walter and myself have birthdays five days apart. In 2024 I had a birthday party at the Hotel Heron in Alexandria, VA. It was the best birthday party I ever had! I wanted to repeat the joy I had once again. But were going to do it bigger and better! First The DC Power Trio would be there. Myself, Ed and Danila. I call the three of us the “DC Power Trio.” Ed and Dani are the shit! I just hang out with Ed and Dani! Were having it at the Hotel Heron once again. Our Field Producer Ed Huebner showed up wearing a tuxedo, with a vest and no shirt. I didn’t blink an eye. This is 75 Radio! I told Ed we look like the Pimps from Hell! Brian Sussman also showed up in a tuxedo, with a shirt. I called him Double O nothing, but he earned the title 007, more on that later.
And our Field Producer Ed Huebner brought a photographer to the shindig! A very nice lady named Delaney Young. She had the monumental task of photographing this event and she did a great job! Everything was going swimmingly! We cut the cake, and we also celebrate the birthday of the lovely Selamawit Yirga! Now it’s showtime! I set up my computer and we are off! The first five minutes is red hot and rolling! Then the receptionist lady told me I couldn’t do the show unless I signed a waiver! I said I’ll sign it and I’m live on the radio! No dice! I find Ed who’s lighting candles for a birthday cake for Jackie Davila! I yelled: “Ed! The lady won’t let me do the show! Go fix it!” Ed was going to give the hotel staff a very bad day. I find poor Bian Sussman and put him to work. I asked him to find me a room, quick! And he did! I’m scrambling and setting up and Danila is coming on! Hot Damn! And Delany is there to photograph this special moment!
We’re back from the break and I’m about to bring Dani on. I waste half the segment introducing Dani, and……………………………..we get shut down again! Meanwhile Ed and Brian are about to tune someone up! The lights are off and Walter and Mike are doing the show. So instead of jumping on the phone and joining the show, I wanted Delaney to take pictures of me and Dani in the dark!
So I’m back on the phone and another guest who’s name I keep forgetting came on and wished me a happy birthday and to find a nice woman so she can change my diapers when I’m 90! And Mike said its a fact that I’m ugly and wear diapers! Then Ana Estevez comes on and talks to Walter! She loves The Seven Five. We finish the show and go out in Old Town Alexandria. A cigar bar! And I hate cigars! But, me, Ed and some of the ladies are there and the R and B group were smoking! We all left and I went back to the room and drank more! And woke up feeling like poo! A couple of months later Ed, Brian and Delaney are relaying the story at a dinner at Captain Pell’s and I was told mouths were open.
A Model! for Radio!
Then there’s Danila! I wanted to jump out another way in this business as there is so much competition in radio and in podcasting! God gave us Danila! I met Danila at Ed Hubner’s birthday party in June 2023. Wow! I saw her again a week later at a 4 th of July party at the home of Luciano De La Torre looking amazing! She came on had a great personality and a great voice! Did I mention she looked amazing!? It was our best show ever and I wanted her……….to be a part of the show! I met the poor lady twice and wanted her to join us! I asked her to be the Spokesmodel for 75 Radio. I sent her the link to the website and an archive. Well there goes that idea! And to my complete and utter surprise, she said yes! And she fit right in! She puts up with us. And she has an awesome sense of humor herself! And she also clowned me on air! This picture is courtesy of me. This was taken at the Suber Bowl/Valentine’s Day part of Luciano De La Torre in February. No special camera, no photoshop. Just me, Danila and an Android phone.
Plus she hasn’t filed that restraining order on me………yet! And she made Talker’s Magazine,
The people who make it work
I can’t do this alone. There are a number of people who have helped me and helped the show. These people helped me get my life back together and I’m living my best life! As you know we call ourselves family, because we are family. This show wouldn’t be where it is today without you. If you don’t see your name, it’s not because I didn’t forget about you, I can’t remember your name! Just ask Ed and the blond lady that hangs around us.
Luciano De La Torre: Some of our best shows have taken place at the home of Luciano De La Torre whom I met through Ed. He throws a party that rivals the one we would receive when we reach the gates of heaven! Luciano is also one of the nicest, funniest and most hospitable people I ever had the pleasure to meet. For some reason when we do a show live there I feel like were Led Zeppelin and Luciano’s is Madison Square Garden. Two of our best shows took place at his home. Hell if I could I’d do the show there every Saturday, even if nobody’s home! I also tell Luciano that he needs to have his Super Bowl parties, Easter Parties and every party on a Saturday night so I can do the radio show! Here’s some of the highlights.
-July 1, 2023: My first show at Luciano’s. It was also the first appearance of Mike and Danila! Charlie LeDuff joins the chaos and clowns me!
-October 28, 2023: Danila officially joins 75 Radio. She looks like a million bucks enjoying herself, I’m a hot nervous mess! This was our best show!
-March 14, 2024: We have the whole family on including Heather Powers McBride. Walter asks me if I painted my nipples green! I become nervous and upset. WTF Walter!? Then Dani tells everyone: “I don’t know why you’re saying that. You were showing everyone at the party!”
Lisa Grubb: Thanks for putting up with me. We hang out at our friends birthday parties, and I do the radio show!
Dan Ruttenberg: Dan; I haven’t done the show at one of your events, yet! But thanks for letting me in your enormous circle of friends. Your events are out of this world!
Alessandra Griffitt: Thanks for your love, support and hard work for 75 Radio. You believe in us and we believe in you! You have to be our biggest fan!
Jay and Liz Harrison: You have the daunting task of making us sound good! Thanks for doing so much with so little!
Sam Bushman: You got us off the ground! Thanks for keeping us from crashing. The running joke is that nobody leaves Liberty News Radio. Why would we!?
James Edwards: Jimmy! All of this was because of you! I am forever in your debt. Even though I branched off into the “forth hour” I am still the Washington DC Correspondent for The Political Cesspool. As the years go on our bonds have tightened. Why? Because we text one another like a couple of teenage girls! Remember this Mr. Edwards and I mean it from the bottom of my heart: Jimmy Page is better than Frankie Valli!
Heather Powers McBride: I can’t thank you enough for everything you have done for us. When I was booking Andrew I was thinking you would be a good fit for us! And you are!
Gary Byrne: You sir are a survivor. You have been through things no person should ever go through and your still with us! You are also one of the nicest people I ever met. A bestselling author, a tv celebrity on Fox News and you still time to talk to me! Your wit and wisdom is second to none!
Charlie LeDuff: One of the smartest, most talented and down-to-earth people I know. You gave me so much yet want nothing in return. Your part of our top two shows! I am proud to be your friend! So’s Walter!
Ed Huebner: We met years ago and became instant close friends. You have become our Field Producer, which makes things go so much better. Show or no show I love hanging out with you! You have done so much and taught me so much just in life in general! Also you were responsible for introducing me to the person that would change radio!
Mike Rakebrandt: Mike you work your ass off for us because you believe in us. Your knowledge and talent is scary. Sometimes its best not to ask how you know some things. Bringing you on was a no brainer. The show has gotten better with you with us! Now you need to stop smoking racoon poop!
Danila Rodrigues: Wow! You are one of the most beautiful women on God’s green earth! You are also amazing; intelligent, ambitious, funny, and sassy! Yet, very down to earth! I am so glad you joined our family and still put up with me. You were the only choice for our spokesmodel. You are the world’s first radio spokesmodel and that’s something no one can take away from you. Off air you inspire me to be a better version of myself! Thank you for everything you have done for me!
Walter Yurkiw: You are my best friend despite the fact we never met face to face. Show or no show I love talking to you on the phone. I asked you to do this with me not because of “The Seven Five” because of your talent and intelligence! We did some awesome shows together and I look forward to keep doing them way down the road.
The 75 Radio family: We do this for you. Your out there working your asses off trying to stay one step ahead of the bill collectors and Uncle Sam. You read the Constitution and follow the rules yet see this country fall apart! You want to listen to the show that is 100% real without the spin! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
