Danny just swirling off the coast.Tropical Storm Danny has just developed. We

(00:24):
are tracking the tropics now. Thetropical storm Danny has made landfall. What's

He is fucking good morning, goodafternoon, good night. This is the
Danny Bonaducci and Ceremony Show on oneoh two point five CAZy Okay, spoiler.

(01:12):
Abert, I just got back inSeattle yesterday and it was very important
to me to bring back some reallynice Christmas gifts for Sarah, Paul and
Waldo. I thought a lot aboutit, because these guys have always given
me great gifts tailored to me exactly. I don't even know how they know
that much about me. Now Ireceived Sarah's gift and it was a stocking
suffer full of impressive selections up tinnedfish. Thank you, sir very much.

(01:36):
I haven't received gifts from Paul orWalda yet, but I'm expecting incredible
things. So I went to thefamous Brandini Toffee company in Palm Springs,
and spoiler alert, I brought themeach back a giant gift basket that looked
remarkable. And imagine the self controlI had having this candy in my house
and not just ribbon into that baby. But I didn't something I didn't think
of those. The gift baskets aremassive and so heavy. I'm going to

(02:00):
have to travel with these things.What was once a little light carry on
is now what they call an extendedstay suitcase. Here's your main gift.
I'm leaving. I'm just kidding around. I love you guys, and I'll
missdogging to you every day. Hey, but Merry Christmas from Danny Claus.
Now Sarah with the news. Thisis brought to you by Union gospel mission.
Hair samples from three former US presidentsare heading into deep space? What

(02:23):
do you mean? How weird?Is this super weird? We're talking hair
samples from JFK, Dwight D.Eisenhower, George Washington. They're going to
be put on a rocket and blastedinto outer space. So are they going
to wash all the gunk out theJFK's hair. Oh well, let's say.
You know everybody was thinking it.I do find it weird that we're

(02:44):
just shooting up some DNA into outerspace, Like what if it gets together
with an alien and there's going tobe an alien version of JFK. Super
weird, but I would vote forhim. There are three new Oreo flavors
coming out, okay, and thefirst one is Oreo Black and White,
which is a take on the NewYork City Bakery cookie. The black and

(03:07):
white the big thing. Sure peoplelove those cookies, kind of yellow cookie.
And then it had a frosting onit, black and white frost You
remember those? I thought they weregreat. Well then you will like this
next round here in Seattle for twelveyears, Well here's amazing. But you've
done where I was born. That'sthe longest time I've ever been in any
city. You did spend many yearsin Los Angeles, so maybe this next

(03:27):
story isn't going to shock you toomuch, all right, but it's shocked
the rest of us. There's anew club in Los Angeles that is so
exclusive. How exclusive is it?People can't get in. It's for dogs
only, no way. They're callingit Soho House for Dogs. So far
it is attracted seventeen hundred members whopay fourteen hundred bucks a year. And

(03:49):
your dog needs to have a temperamenttest to make sure it's eligible to join
the club. Wow, that's reallyinteresting. I don't know where they're going
to put it, but I likeit. Soho House for Dogs is available
now, but like I said,you have to go through a screening process.
If your pooch is lucky enough tomake the cut, you get specially
engineered grass, cognitive obstacles, hydroPlayStations, and more. Okay, I

(04:12):
don't even have a dog, andI'm well. One of our producers in
years past was Tory Oh Sure.Tory was on the show for years,
known for her love of classic rock, being kind and sweet and just a
beautiful person and smoking hot, andalso known for keeping her deceased pets in
her freezer. Yes, that's anotherone right. Well, she loves us,

(04:34):
we love her. And Tory lefta message for you, Danny.
Oh great, Hey Danny, it'sTory. I just want to wish you
a very happy retirement. One ofmy favorite memories was when you took the
whole crew out for my twenty firstbirthday at the five Point. It was
so much fun, and the highlightwas definitely when I accidentally stepped into the

(04:54):
men's urinal seeing for all of theincredible memories. Love you, Danny,
Love you too, Tory. Ireally remember that clear as day. We
are all too. We were allat the five point. Tory could finally
come up to the bar with us, and you guys were like, you,
guys, I have to come intothe urinal so that you can see.
It's a what's it called a stethoscope? No, a periscope, A
periscope in the bathroom. Met that, yeah, the five for it.

(05:16):
And then she fell on the toilet, Yeah she did. I don't know
how that happened. I guess shewas wearing big old heels. I don't
remember it. She seemed like atiny little thing, one of our other
producers and phone guys. Derek alsoyeah, he also wanted to say something
to you, Danny cool. Hey, Danny, it's Derek the new guy.
I heard you're finally hanging up toMike old man. Nobody deserves it
more than you, Buddy. You'vegiven me and countless others more laughs than

(05:39):
I can count over the years.Now, I know you're going to miss
saying crazy things on the air everyday, So when you get the urge
to say something hilariously outrageous, youcan give me a call and I would

(06:03):

my underwear? I don't know,Danny, did you? No? I

saying I'm going a big no onthat, but I might do it in
the future. You never know.Yeah, ye, I mean you are
headed to retirement after today's show.Maybe your underwear wrestling is in your future,

(06:47):
It's time for today's Things or notRight In Florida, start of the day,

drink Oh Florida, Oh Florida,Al Flyda. This is brought to you
by Union Gospel Mission and today isDanny Bonaducci's final day on the air.
If you want to leave a messageor talk with Danny. Call eight hundred
two five two one two five OrseAlexa, send a talk back to one

(07:31):
O two point five CAZy Okay theClassic rock Station. Daddy Bonatucci Coach the
life Coach is in. Danny Bonaduccihas been through it all. He can
help you no matter what your problemis. Here's Matthew in Everett. Hey
Matthew, how are you doing allright? How you guys doing I'm doing
very well. I'll speak for Sarahand Waldo, we are doing very well.
What can I do for you?Well, my twenty year old son

(07:55):
really wants to be on Survivor orThe Amazing Race or any one of those
REALITTV shows. And it's not justlike he's, oh, you know,
that would be fun. He reallyreally wants to get on one of these
things. So do you guys haveany tips for how he could get on
a reality TV show? Or shallI tell him to just change his dream

(08:16):
because that's never going to happen.Well, I don't know that it's not
going to happen. Why I willtell you is the panache of that has
gone down a great deal. Iremember when Survivor was on, I watched
every week. I thought it wasthe most amazing thing, and it was
for God's sake. But now there'stwenty of them, and there's twenty young,
healthy people for the most part anyway, and they really want to do

(08:39):
they want to win, they wantto do this, So it's difficult.
Now what advice would you like?You want to help him out to win
or get his own show, orwould you like me to tell him not
to do it? What are yougoing for? Well, anything, anything
that'll get him off my back.But you know, like you said,
there's twenty final contestants or whatever thenumber is. I mean, there's got
to be thousands upon thousands of peopletry out. That's why I'm saying.

(09:01):
You know, should I tell himto just forget it? Or is there
some angle he should take? Thestand out? It's a fine thing.
I want to be on TV.I was on TV most of my life.
But you know, if you're goingto get a raise, you should
have a plan. You should bebetter than the other guys. So how
do you say your son was twenty? All right? You know, he's
just in the age range of peoplethat are doing that. And now I

(09:22):
realize that you're gonna have a hardtime answering this question honestly, But is
your son exceptional? Okay, sothe answer is not right. He's a
good guy. Let him dream hurtsnothing to let him dream. You know.
You can say that you can sendthem a video. As a matter
of fact, that's my actual thoughton this. Send them some kind of
cool video. But don't set yourselfon fire. Don't bash up over your

(09:46):
head, because that's what I didand it doesn't go very well. So
keep the dream that, keep thedream alive. I think that is just
fine. Make a video of doingsomething exceptional, maybe a couple of things.
Here's where he has to think ofit. Is the show about some
kind of group of people thriving withyour drink and all that alcohol and stuff.
Maybe you send him some kind ofvideo like that. But I see
nothing wrong with wanting to do it. I see nothing wrong with doing a

(10:07):
video tape. You can be hiswingman on that and actually use the video
recorder or the phone. You know. If he gets picked to God,
love him. But if he goesback to work, school, or whatever
it is, that's also a verygood call. And that, my friend,
is why you call him life coach. A dB I appreciate it.
No sweat man, I wish Iknew your initial so I could say,
Hey, SJA or whatever that is. But very cool, and I really
I appreciate and I appreciate the hasslethat you're in. But let that one

(10:31):
come to fruition. Everything will workout on that one. No sound advice,
cool, go get him tired onetwo point five kz okay the classic
rock station. So all week long, we've had so many of our listeners
chiming in with favorite memories, thingsthey love about you, Danny, And
it's almost a this is your lifesort of scenario where we're talking with people
who you've worked with in the past, including our old producer old not as

(10:56):
an age, but he was withus from the beginning in Philadelphia and then
for many years here in Seattle callingin to share some favorite memories. Is
Gibbons. Hey Gibbons, O man, Danny Sarah, I am fantastic.
How are you guys? Doing?You sound a little different? Is you
sound more grown up? That's whatit is. A couple of years of

(11:18):
hard living will do, don't Iknow? All right? So what are
you doing these days? I amworking at a famous spy theeen restaurant in
the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area. It'scalled the safe House. If you google
it you'll find all crazy fun stuffabout it. I'm really having a good
time doing it. Dan, that'svery good. I've actually been there and
it is a very very cool bar, like very unique and not like anything

(11:41):
I've seen before. But Gibbons isno longer in radio, despite having been
with us for years and years.So, Gibbons, do you have any
standout moments from our time together inPhiladelphia or our time with Danny here in
Seattle. Oh my god, Ihave a brain full of the many that
are not good for broad cast,if you know what I mean, not
safe for work. But uh,I do, Kenny. Do you remember

(12:05):
the first time we met. No, it was a week before you started
in Philadelphia. I got offered thejob to be your producer. I was
twenty one years old at the time. Wow. They were like, Danny
wants to meet you, go pickhim up. I go, huh,
And they go, Danny's gonna boybirthday Canseco and wants to make a gin
out of his studio. So youand Dany you're gonna go buy equipment?
I said, Uh, Okay,I went picked you up, We went

(12:28):
and buy exercise equipment, and thenyou got a call that changed your life.
Do you remember the call you gotwhen you found out your divorceless final
from Gretchen? Oh yes I do. I was twenty one years old.
You get a phone call you aregoing to take this, and you're walking
around, you're pacing, and youjust go uh huh uh huh uh huh,
Okay, it's done. Wait howmuch? Oh my god, you

(12:50):
picked your phone up off of yourear and smashed it into the ground where
it broke into a million pieces.That sounds like me. Wow. You
took a beat, took a break, looked up and said, well that's
done. Let's buych some equipment.And then we bought a bunch of equipment
for you to go box, hoseache and sake out. By the way,
people bring up that fight a lot. That was the hardest I ever
got hitting radio. I mean froma boxer. But I will tell you

(13:13):
guys out there in radio land,I never got knocked down. And that's
what I told him at a pressconference. I said, Hey, man,
if I threaten, I'm gonna packyou up here, gonna fall down
I'll kick your asshole. We'll justlook ridiculous. The guy was like six
six and I was five six.He weighed two sixty five. I weighed
one sixty five. I was gonnaget killed and I knew it. But
man, he hits me in thehead, I don't fall down. And

(13:33):
then he didn't understand the premise ofboxing. Then when I'm hurt and I
was, he should have chased medown. And even though I didn't win,
I didn't lose. It was calleda draw and that ain't bad for
me. And I appreciate you broughtthat up. Anything else in your favorite
Danny Bonaducci memories, because that's whatwe're doing today. It is. Another
favorite was the first CAZy Ok beerlaunch at a Belle brewing. I believe

(13:56):
it was. Yeah, we wereout there and it holds a special place
in my heart because my dad wasin town at the time and Danny had
never met my father before, andthat was the great part about it.
You guys chopped it up for abouttwenty minutes, and he said that was
one of the most fun times ofhis entire life. And I said,
that's my Danny. He's a goodboy. I am a good boy.
I appreciate that. Brother. AsGooney say, goonies never say die,
but never say never, you know, Okayshay, how old I am?

(14:20):
What the hell are the goonies?Oh? Danny, Hey, I gotta
I gotta tell the story's story.It's a question, you know. So
I went to the hospital and theyput a shunt in my head. Don't
you have a shunt in your head? Oh Danny, yes, I do.
In fact, do you remember yourfirst day on the air. I
screwed something up in Philadelphia and youasked him I was a quote unquote waterhead

(14:43):
and I told you I was,and it turns out you were. And
guess what, now you are too. So how do you like that?
On Apple? I got her phonenumber. Hey, Givin, thank you
very much for taking the time.I'm sure you're a busy young man with
all your work going on, sothanks again. I'll talk to you soon.
My pleasure is your retirement, Danny, you deserve it. Thanks man
By Gimmons, Bye Gibbons, Ilove you too. Man Now Sarah with

(15:05):
Music, Sports and Entertainment. ThePoke's frontman Shane McGowan sadly died earlier this
month at the age of sixty five. That's too early. He left one
final gift to friends and family beforehis death. He picked up the bar
tab at his own wake. Ohvery nicely done, classy bastard. He
set aside over twelve thousand dollars tocover the cost of beer and drinks at

(15:31):
his favorite pub in his favorite town. It was a big party to celebrate
the life and times of Shane McGowan. Johnny Depplin answered, and a bunch
of other famous folk there, andhe said, you know what drinks are
on me? Oh, that's justawesome. That's a classy way to go
get all your friends drunk at noexpense. Man Mattel has shared that after
the Barbie success, they're going tomake an American doll live action movie what

(15:56):
oh Really? The American Girl line, started in the late eighties, features
dolls with you know, different typesof backgrounds. I've been the like five
hundred bucks. Aren't they really expensive? Wow? And now they are heading
to the big screen right on.I'm not sure that's going to have the
same success as Barbie, but Iguess we'll see. I don't know that

(16:18):
anything's gonna have the same success asBarbie. True. Did you guys have
one of these dolls? Who arewe asking both of you? Well,
I know I never had one.I went to buy one for Paul's daughter,
Jellybean, and then I found outhow much they were, and I
thought, she's a nice kid,And you're Nope. Considering Danny's age,
it would be really weird if hehad one, because they came out in
the late eighties and Danny would havebeen in his twenties forties. Maybe.

(16:41):
Yeah. And although you may notremember this, but my parents didn't believe
in toys, so I never hada Barbie or an American girl doll.
Now I barely know what these thingslook like. Thanks to Jellybean. That's
how I kind of figured out whata lot of these toys are. Yeah,
she was actually a toy, wrappedher up. Weird. Netflix is

didn't even know he was still onthe radio, but he was working at
a great radio station. He wason Kazy Okay in Seattle. Yeah,
I've been walking about his condition fora while. He actually made a statement

(21:59):
about it on the air. Wefirst had to start cutting back on his
WORKLOK. I didn't even know hewas still on the radio. I'm impressed
with him. He had a verysuccessful radio career and as you know,
it is not easy to hold anaudience's attention. Bona Ducci's sixty four.
I can't believe he's sixty four,will retire in Palm Springs as well as
keep a place in Seattle. Thankyou for twelve years, amazing years on

CAZy Okay. CAZy Okay is agreat station, legendary I know. When
I was starting now, I usedto read about that stuff. Was like,
oh, if I can only geta job on Kzy okay. But
it says here. Last week,Bona Ducci posted on Twitter that he has
hydrocephalus, a neurological disorder caused byan abnormal buildup of sebrospinal fluid cerebrospinal three
debro. Yeah, cerebral fluid andcavities deep within the brain. The excess

(22:45):
fluid causes the cavities to widen,putting harmful pressure on the brain tissue.
According to the National Institute of Hell, Jesus Well, he had to have
a drain installed. Really, I'msure sure that's the only way to get
the fluid out of there. Oldage is a bitch. Well, I
hope he does, Okay. Niceguy used to always come to all of

the best, the best, crazy, but the best. I thought you
were going to say that Partridge,the Partridge Family, Breaking Bonaducci, that

was a show page. I meanthe way those Partridge are saying it was
a miracle. Said they have hada hit song, travel on that whole

ye rock stars, they got atour with their moms. What'd you

(23:55):
want to say, Garre. Iwas gonna say. One of the things
I learned about Danny on the airalways is a key, would just talk
about anything, and he talked aboutall the crazy drug use he had,
and I remember he was the firstperson I remember hearing it going wow to
say that heroin is like better thansex, and I thought that heroin must
be something, but I can't imaginetry it. I can't imagine anything better

(24:18):
than sex. Like second is amazing. Pretty cool making national news with your

got had money on you winning thewhole thing. Well, you won your
bet. When we did the celebrityboxing, I think I wish I'd been
in the same shape then that I'min now. That didn't work out as
well for us. You know,it was only three rounds and you had
a TKO on me in the inthe second round. Yeah, sorry about

(26:52):
that, buddy, but I didn'twant to do it. As you know,
I wasn't rolling in the dough likeI am. Now I needed that
cash. It was like it waslike twenty five thousand dollars or you know,
six seven minutes or something like that. I can only think of another
thing that don't last six or sevenminutes. But I nobody ever paid me
for it, So I understand.I understand you have the same problem.
Yeah, I know what you Meanyboddy, But it's so cool. I'm talking
to Barry Wims. You know what. I think You and I have been

(27:14):
together in some way or another longerthan Dean and Jerry, longer than a
lot of couples. We met inthe early seventies, right early seventies.
Yeah, you came on with Partridgea year after us. We were on
in sixty nine. You came onin seventy. People always ask me if
our shows were competing. I lovedyour show. I was you know,
we're part of that ABC lineup andI always watched it. That, by

(27:37):
the way, is where I gotinto trouble in the boxing thing, is
because I, you know, Ijust figured you were still the pudgy Danny
Partridge guy, not you know,not a belt, a black belt four
times over and a trained boxer.But anyway, my bad on that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, thatwas not a smart bet for yourself.
But that's you know what you andI I just have this love and hate
relationship with you, but it hasnow grown to just love. I'm so

(27:59):
glad you're calling it and everything.What is you and I have known each
other for every What if you havea memory of me? Because I'm going
out on talking to Barry Williams,I'm leaving the radio business. What's your
best story with Danny Bonaducci? Well, my best story would probably come around
the Bigfoot time. You know.After suffering this humiliating loss to you on
a celebrity boxing I was called bySci Fi as were you, and they

(28:22):
had set you, I guess already, and they said, would you be
interested in doing this the show,this movie for us Bigfoot with Danny Bonaducci.
I said, listen, without readingthe script, if you'll let me
beat the hell out of him byman, and they did. And so
when we got to the scene itwas I had a guitar and I was
going to slam the guitar against youand break it against your back. And

(28:45):
you were very gracious about it allin. We talked about how to do
it, and I used every bitof my strength to break that guitar against
your back and did twice. Theseare the great days, man, really
great ist ive. You're just joiningus. We're talking to my dear friend
Barry Williams. You may know himfrom the Brady Bunch, but now the
