Eight, and you're you're you're sports okay, sports check.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Yeah, And and I was trying to get pregnant at
that point, and it took me a couple of years
to get pregnant. So and then when I did get pregnant,
I mean, I might have gained a little bit of
weight with the first one.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Wow. Really, what woman doesn't I mean, seriously, what it's okay, what.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Woman doesn't gain weight?
Speaker 4 (03:09):
When they thought it was funny to play fat bottom
girl every once in a while when they would introduce me.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
That's that's not that's not exactly true, mister Rick.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Are you going to take the we out of this
and blame it on no?
Speaker 1 (03:22):
No, no, okay no, because you you brought up initially
how big your butt was getting I did when you
were pregnant, and so Scott and.
Speaker 7 (03:31):
I are like, huh must both were fans.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
We had to give you a theme song.
Speaker 3 (03:37):

Speaker 4 (03:40):
Okay, Okay, I don't have as big of a butt
now as I did then.
Speaker 2 (03:44):

Not big booty, judy.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
I don't have the I'm not big booty.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
But you would wear.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Underwear if if there were clean underwear that were kind
of like what I like to wear, you would, I would?
Speaker 5 (03:58):
Okay, wrong with Cathy Least had the same thing. She
said she would wear somebody else's underwear if she was
an emergency.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
So that that that makes three of us. But I
can tell you right now, I'm not.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Why wouldn't you wear somebody else's not wearing somebody else's drawers?
Speaker 2 (04:14):
No period?
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Okay, this is a guy. Do you remember what you
wore during COVID on your face?
Speaker 2 (04:23):
What? Excuse me? Do you know this is live radio?
I do?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
I do you voice track some of your stuff? This
is live radio. People are listening to this. Know what
they what do they wear?
Speaker 4 (04:35):
You had the fled mask that was made out of women's.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Underwear, right so I could breathe?
Speaker 6 (04:42):
Right?
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Wait, you made your own mask out of women's underwear?
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Who made that for me? That's right?
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Somebody did? Somebody else did? You could breathe?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
And remember this. Everywhere you went you had to have
you know, you had to.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Have a mask on and in the booth you guys
had to. But it was your way of being able
to because you couldn't.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
We couldn't. We had to wear a mask.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
I'd forgotten that the boot a secret on the outside
of your mask broadcasting.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
But you could move. You can mask over. You remember
now catching that balance at the thirty seven? Put the
mask back on? I remember? Now?
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Yeah, because you didn't want the regular you were there?
Speaker 2 (05:24):
You yeah? So who's underwear were they? That's the question.
I think they were tiny? Did you did you get in?
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Then?
Speaker 2 (05:33):
I swear I can't remember who made the mask.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
I know, Yeah, I don't. I don't know. It was
it was funny you were.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Wearing one of those p X ninety five man, whatever
the hell they were. Yeah, that was a weird time.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Man, it was a weird time.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
But okay, So, but you, why would you not wear
another man's clean boxers?
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Because I'm just not interested in doing that. I'm not
going to wear another dude's drawers. I'm with Dave, and
I think most you would. I know most.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
Guys would say no, but I think most women would go.
In an emergency, I would. I don't care if they're
clean with bleach. I ain't putting another man's drawers on me.
Next up, how about swim trunks? Would you wear another
guy's swimsuit? Say you're at a guy's house. He's got
a pool. Hey, everybody, let's get in the pool. Dave goes,
I didn't bring my suit. He goes, hey, I got one.
(06:19):
You can wear nod with me. I would not do it.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
That's so weird. Why not? They're just trunk.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
It's just a weird thought of I couldn't do it.
When you know, she brought it up right exactly. That's
you know that right on that. Yeah, same, I would
not do it.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Oh you guys are I wouldn't even wear it.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
My mom's got a swimming pool at her house in Arizona,
and she.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Wanted to wear one of her suits.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
She wanted to wear one of my dad's and I
said suits. Yeah, like swimsuit. I said, nah, I'm.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Good, ma, Dad, that's I Still you think you did
wash them?
Speaker 6 (07:03):
Yeah? Clean?
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Do you ever think you could have honored your dad
to your mom rick and just wore them once, maybe
the next time you.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Go to Phoenix. She had to be maybe a little
less selfish.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
So you're saying she she looked at it like a
tribute to my dad by putting on the first.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Thing that popped in my mind.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
I'm quite certain she wished it would have popped into
her sons. I might, I might reconsider, just from my mom.
But other than that, No, would you wear another woman's swimsuit?
Speaker 3 (07:28):
So interesting? If it on a vacation, if it was
clean and it fit.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Yeah, it's not going to be romy beans.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
No, No, it's not going to be listening right down
the half of what romy has up top. So I
don't have that you.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Said that because Rick and I get fired. We get fired.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
I have I have no grand delusion or delusions of
grandeur about what I got going on here.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
So yeah, but you would wear Romy's swimsuit if it fit,
But her swims was not going to fit.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
But yeah, he's weird as a headman.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Covered her whole button. It would just mind would go
up the crack because she's at my side tra vacation,
So not for sure.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
You bring sheets, pillowcases every day.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Room in our stuff to put in pillow cases and
sheets and stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Well, you got to make room. You got to make
it a priority.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Yeah, And I sometimes plan ahead because we we actually
know where we're traveling this fall.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
So you just send stuff to the oh.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
I see, okay, that's why you go.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
You don't come down to put the card on file,
so you can have the room service in the morning
and then you get your sheets.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
You've said ahead of Is that right?
Speaker 1 (08:44):
How I pack him up you know, FedEx or ups
and send them back home.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
So we got to.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
We've got Broncos training camp coming up here at the
end of July. We're going to be We're going to
be out there obviously covering what yeah, I mean I
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Well, not the three of us. They're not going to
let that happened.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
I are you Are you doing anything out there?
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Are you? You're out well? I mean listen, I'm asking
because I don't know.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Yeah, No, I mean I don't know. I usually go
and watch and I don't really have many duties.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
You got interviews to do?
Speaker 4 (09:17):
No, really until we do the game game, then I'll
start my smire.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
You doing the Fox Show out there? Yeah? We usually
do either one or two days.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
It's gonna be a little bit different this year because
the firm being gone and how they're doing the uh
where they're putting fans, and it's going to definitely cut
down on how the radio roads figures out.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
They only allow eight hundred now yeah a day.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
What was the last year is like five thousand several thousand, yep,
and only three hundred parking space, So it's going to
be a little.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
To have to park over at the soccer fields on
the opposite side of where the facility is.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
And you have to get tickets. They're free, but you
have to get them ticketmaster dot com. You can get
them right now out.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Yes, yeah, they've got two of their preseason games they
will work against. The first one against the San Francisco
forty nine ers out there, so they'll have a practice
day against the Niners.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Are we going out early on this trip?
Speaker 2 (10:15):
I'm not sure. I've been wondering if about that. I
probably will not.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
They'll also when they host the Arizona Cardinals, they'll have
a practice day here, at least one.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
It's cool. I like that.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
It breaks the camp a lot for them to be
able to go up against another team and not just
each other.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
They get so tired of that.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
So, yeah, you just brought up a good point though
about forty nine ers. Uh, that make me think we'll
probably be going out early.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Two Wednesday, that's my thought. Is a joint practice Thursday
right in game Friday?
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Either that or we fly commercial?
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Is it Thursday, Friday Saturday?
Speaker 1 (10:51):
I'm not sure. I think the first game is the nineteenth.
Is the nineteenth of Saturday?
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Grant?
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Yes, okay, so yeah, so I would imagine it's the
joint practice Thursday.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
I think it's Thursday.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Yeah, so we may be going out I don't know
Wednesday with the team, or we go out commercial.
Speaker 6 (11:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (11:08):
Either way, Yeah, we'll have fun game practice. You'll have
practice at that point. Yes, So I'm not exactly.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Sure what my travel plays when you're not there.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
We do you missed, you missed, You've missed some good moments,
some good dinners.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
You make it to a lot of them, which we love, right.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
I mean we have a lot of fun. Pre season
is a little dicey.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
It is because you're trying to you're trying to marry
the NFL schedule with the high school schedule and who's
who's got what and where and all that. But I'll
tell you and we can talk more about it after
the break. But I'm really genuinely excited about this season.
Oh like I can't think of maybe, well maybe since
(11:48):
twenty fifteen, I haven't been excited in terms of what
this thing.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Might and hopefully will look like.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
There's a lot of hyph Yeah, a lot of teams
are going to be They're gonna know the Broncos are
in town this season. I saw one, uh power ranking
there were number ten, the Broncos at number ten in
the power ratings already going into the season. Yeah, I
feel like it's going to be a good year to me.
(12:19):
I think the team will be better, but I'm not
sure if they'll win more games because I think the
schedule looks much tougher to me. In the AFC West.
It's going to be really tough to get through. But
I do didn't know when they'll win ten, maybe twelve.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
That's my point. You just so which one is?
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Yeah, Because I just said you didn't know if they'd
win more games. Of your picks had them winning more games.
Speaker 5 (12:42):
Let's say everything has to go right to win twelve,
and that means staying healthy, yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Which I think they've got that dialed in really well.
They have.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
Yeah, But yeah, I do think they'll love a better team.
It's gonna be a fun year.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
I think so too.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
I think when you look at the AFC West, I
think the Raiders will be better. But I still think
those are winnable games, two of them. I think the
Chargers are going to be still good. They were a
playoff team last year and they beat the Broncos twice.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
I don't think that's going to happen.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
And they split with the Chiefs and could have, I mean,
could have won the game in Kansas City certainly if
they don't get a thirty five yard field goal blocked.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
So I think.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
I mean, to me, and I've said this before, I
think this is the year that the Broncos and they've
sort of and Sean Peyton really started it by talking
about getting a home playoff game. Well, the way you
get a home playoff game is to win the West. Yeah,
and that hasn't happened for quite some time. So I
like their chances. I think this is the year that
(13:49):
they make a strong statement of the Chiefs, and I
think this is a year that somebody other than Kansas
City and let's hope it's Denver, can win the AFC West.
You agree the schedules tougher this year. I mean, I
think it's a tough schedule. Right in the game, you
get a road game in Philly. I'm not looking at
the schedule, but you've Yeah, I mean, I think it's
(14:10):
I think it's tough. But every single year, you know,
you have games and you're like, well, that game will
be tough, and then you look Week seven and that
team is you know, five and one, and they were
better than you thought they were going to be in
the offseason.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
So I don't I never put a lot of stock
in that it's gonna be.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Fun I'm really I'm excited. I'm excited. I've been out
to the.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
OTAs and when they had their camps here a couple
of weeks ago, and it just I just feel like
they have I like the group of guys a lot.
I feel like there's a great chemistry and it's gonna
be there's gonna build on it with all the pieces
they brought in, no doubt about it.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Four twenty five is the time on Ka we had Alan.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Roach on who gosh, I didn't even realize, but he
did sidelines for sixteen seasons. Susie is going into her
eighth seventh, Rick is going into his ninth. Yep, ninth
here for me, yep, and so we we've had over
the course of long careers, we've had chances to work
(15:09):
with a variety of people. The next guest is one
of those people. I referred to him as Guppy, but
Rick refers.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
To him, and so do Susane. I think as g man, Gee,
what's up?
Speaker 6 (15:27):
What's up you guys?
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Gee?
Speaker 2 (15:29):
What's up?
Speaker 6 (15:30):
G man?
Speaker 2 (15:30):
It's been a while. Man, how's things going?
Speaker 6 (15:32):
Uh? Couldn't be better. I'm over here at Bear Creek.
We love overlooking the beautiful chorus and just only played
twenty seven a day, so you're going to play thirty.
But it's a rough life, but somebody's got to do it,
you guys.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
So guh, I learned that you are actually Dave Logan
and you worked together before I even met you.
Speaker 6 (15:57):
Oh yeah, you know what it's this is great because
when I got out of University of Michigan, I my
first radio gig. I was IRV Brown's producer and so
I you know, I did the show with IRV and
Joe and Buddy Martin and Woody Page came in occasionally,
and then Lobes was you know obviously you know, great
(16:21):
player with the Browns, and then uh spent I think
the last what was it two months to.
Speaker 8 (16:26):
Your career or so, yeah, like days whatever, hang out, yeah,
ceremoniously let him go.
Speaker 6 (16:37):
Uh So, I mean I think either you called IRV
or IRV called you and you know heard you got
cut and s that, hey, you know, why don't you
try the radio thing? Well, I was already Irv's producer,
so and I worked until seven o'clock and the show
ended at six. But Dave started coming in almost every
day from six to seven, and so I was his producer,
(16:59):
you know, answering and giving him notes on commercials and
stuff and and uh, you know, the first thing I
knew about Dave was God, man, this guy knew a
boatload about not just football, but baseball, boxing, hockey, basketball.
I mean, he could talk anything. And it just kind
(17:19):
of was like, hey, this guy should be full time,
and so IRV made him, you know, full time. And
it was HERB, Joe and Dave on AM sixteen hundred.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Yeah, great, great, great, great dal position that was krx
ony k x WY.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
I mean that was before ki.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, wait, wait before k big it
is I mean for people that that and why would you.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
If you never were in radio?
Speaker 1 (17:41):
It is the absolute worst sixteen dollars positions in the world.
I mean we had a stay, we had a station
that was five thousand watts, uh, and then at dusk
and went to five hundred. So the good news for
me being on in six to seven A I got
to hang out and get to know Guppy and and
B nobody could really hear me even though I was talking. Uh,
(18:03):
And so the fact that you were bad and probably sucked.
The good news there's only six people in the entire
mental area. We're here.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Very many commercials either, right, I.
Speaker 6 (18:15):
Don't know if you remember the old studio. It was
AM sixteen hundred and actually why went Await was a
but it was in this.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
House Wadsworth and Hamden.
Speaker 6 (18:28):
There there's still a town.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Yeah, it was a house house.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Oh my gosh, I.
Speaker 6 (18:31):
Converted into that. The Y one away stuff was basically
on one end and then we had this crappy small
studio on the outer hand of the building. They got
the really nice studio downstairs because they were the bigger
FM station. But I remember sitting in there with logs
and one of my things was like if he happened
(18:52):
to get a call, which was pretty word. You know,
in the old studios you had a phone that would
blank in the in the on air studio and then
it would it would also be blinking in the control room. Well,
most of the time I was leading, like talking to
my girlfriend on the phone. Well, Dave was.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
I'm dying for a call like you blindes are blinds are.
Speaker 6 (19:17):
Blank And he's waving his hand like you know how
he doesn't broadcast Rick when he wants the referees microphone up.
Oh yeah, right, I know that I know that gesture, yes,
and I'm just letting it ring on purpose. So and
he's like pointing at me, like pointing at the phone,
and I'm talking with my girlfriend and then finally hold on, honey,
(19:38):
and then I'll pick up the phone. Care can I
Doug to day? Yeah? What's your name? Okay, Bob? And
then I opened the door, Bob.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
And then you graduated. We all graduated in a sense.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
And then and then you started working with uh with
rick in Wax and.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
Let me explain how that happened. So we had to
show together, me and floor Wax and got off to
a red hot start and decided we needed a sports guy.
So we had open auditions for sports guys, including all
the big TV guys in town, Tom Green, all of them.
And then here's this guy, g Man. I'd never heard
(20:23):
of g Men, Rich Coins. G Men tries out, and
then so we had our listeners vote who they thought
we should pick. We found out later that g Man
had like every friend he knows in Denver and call
and vote for him. But we had great chemistry with
g Man. We didn't want a polished sportscaster. The TV
(20:43):
guys were too good. They were too good. So we
loved g men.
Speaker 6 (20:50):
So yeah, that that story was really funny because I
worked for kb X, which was Savontane. They were partners
with KBP I in the day and yeah, one of
them five nine and so Steve Cooper, who was legendary
afternoon guy at KBP I, used to have me come
in and just do a little sports thing and he's like,
(21:13):
you know, he had me go on as Rich Goings
and then finally he goes, you know, this Rich Goins
thing isn't gonna work. He goes, we had to come
up with a nickname for you. He goes, you know
what your last name starts with G. I'm just gonna
call you Gena. So I started doing a few things there.
So I love that Steve Cooper did. Yeah, and so
when I went and tried out with Rick and Wax,
I just went in and said, you know, it was
(21:33):
a It was Friday, was the last audition. All the
big boys had been in there, and I'm like, I
heard it on the radio. Hey there's auditioning sportscasters. So
I go down there on a Friday morning and did
a couple of sportscasts.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Were you any good?
Speaker 6 (21:46):
Well? You're asking Rick, I'm asking you on this too, man,
all right, you know, Florwax said, it looked it looked
like I was phoning in a bomb threat.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
That's what I looked like, exactly.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Yes, he was.
Speaker 6 (22:04):
He was nervous as craps. Anyway, I uh so, they said, hey,
Monday morning, we're going to vote. So I literally called
everybody I knew, and I gave him the number to call,
and I said, hey, just call in and say hey,
I'm voting for g Man. So they open up the
lines on Monday, and then you know, hey, I want
to vote for Tom Green, I want to vote for
(22:24):
the coach, I want to vote for whoever else was
in there. And then there was this like three to
eight calls in a row for g Man. And finally
there was one of my ex girlfriends called and she goes, yeah,
I want to vote for the g Man. And then
Welsh goes, do you even know what you're voting for?
And he goes, no, he just called me last year. Well,
(22:46):
if we figured if this guy's working that hard to
get votes, he really needs a job. And so that's
all I got the job with those guys nineteen years.
Speaker 5 (22:54):
The classic here's the classic g Man story though the
bill Yeah people probably maybe if you're new to Denver,
you don't know the story. But this became a national
story NBC. Bob Costas, so, the Broncos were on a
losing streak, and the Broncos had a lot of good
years in the eighties, but they started off the season bad,
(23:17):
and we decided we're gonna put g Man. He's going
to live on a billboard till the Broncos win. We
thought it'd be a game or two, right, So he
did it. He went up on this billboard, and Bob
Costas got a hold of it in the NFL Today
Show or whatever show he was doing. Every week he
would check in live with g Man on the Billboard,
Live shot with g Man, and that just blew up
(23:38):
this bit where it became like everybody.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
In the country story.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
Yeah, it was interested to remember that and kind of
made g Man a household name.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
How long was it g you were up there?
Speaker 6 (23:49):
I was thirty three days, sixteen hours, seventeen minutes, twenty
one second. Yeah, but you know it was in the
it was in the Winner. Obviously football season. It started
out great, like the first week was, like you know,
seventy degrees and all I had up there was I
had a sleeping bag and a pillow and a tarp.
(24:11):
They put a tarp from me. I mean, if you
look at a billboard now, they all look the same.
There's a little runway in front of it where the
guys go up and hang the billboard. But our station,
you know, with all their you know, money that they had,
they just put a tarp out there. Like it was
just a tarp that went on an angle. And I
slept into the sleep, you know, under the tarp in
the sleeping bag. Well then the weather got cold and
(24:33):
I'm out there sleeping at night in a sleeping bag
exposed and it's snowing on me, and it's breaking on me.
And I got pneumonia. And then but the constant thing
was great because I remember the I remember the call.
This was like remember the early cell phones. They looked
like a big brick. Yeah, I had one of those
(24:54):
up there. And after they lost to they just to oh, everybody,
I go. And then the second game was against the Lions.
You know, Ricking my team from Detroit, and we were
both from Detroit. They lose the Lions on Thanksgiving Day,
they get blown out and really horrendous, and I'm like,
oh man, now I got to stay another eleven days
(25:15):
or whatever. And I get the phone. I get a
phone call and I pick it up and this guy goes, hey,
is this this guy on the billboard? And I go yeah.
He goes, uh, hold on, Bob Consence wants to talk
to you. So of course I hung up because I
thought it was one of my buddies franking me. And
then the guy called back. He goes, don't hang up,
and then Constance is on the phone. He goes this
(25:35):
rich boy and I said yeah. He said, We're sending
out a camera crew to interview you. I okay, whatever.
This Channel four shows up and they put a mic
on me and point the camera up there, and then
he called me a sniveling whimp. Because I was like, oh,
I gotice up another eleven days. I'm getting called, and
I got the phone. He goes, Richie stibling whimp and
then then it blew up, and you know.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
It was cool.
Speaker 6 (25:59):
Kind of made my career.
Speaker 5 (26:00):
Oh absolutely, And as did a documentary on it years later.
I was in that documentary talking about it with Who's
the Sportswriter?
Speaker 6 (26:10):
So it was Rick riley anniversary. They were playing Cincinnati
on a Monday night and Rick comes up and interviewed me,
and then and then Rick Lewis came up and Rick
Riley interviewed Hampton. Rick goes, yeah, Rick Riley goes, weren't
you worried about his health or safety? And Rick goes, now,
we made it. We made him sign it a disclosing.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
We did. We did.
Speaker 6 (26:37):
Yeah, he goes, if he died, we weren't responding.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
You're fine.
Speaker 6 (26:41):
It was.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
It was such a great thing for the radio station
in the show really put us on the map. And
I think that was our first year, Am I right?
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Gee?
Speaker 6 (26:49):
I think that's the first time Rick Lewis ever acknowledged
that the Billboard thing helped his radio show, because when
it came time for contract negotiations was all Louis and blow.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
We got paid, We got paid. Did you take care
of Guppy? Oh yeah, we always took care of you man.
Speaker 6 (27:06):
Oh yeah, I did. Well, you know, Dave, I've done
more bikini contests, I've hosted more everybody else in history.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
That was my there you go, hey, man.
Speaker 1 (27:15):

school radio day, and and uh, everybody here loves you, glad.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
That you're you're doing well. And how many of you

only play eighteen. But I did want to say something
about sus I love when she first started, you know,
with bp I, and now she's obviously doing the Fox
and you know, one of the sweetest people I know,
and uh, you know, it's it's it's funny looking back,
how many great friendships you make. And I never took
(27:54):
those for granted at all, Like, you know, Dave and
I go like forty years back and can I crazy
thirty five years back? And even Susanie when she first started,
I was like this, I mean, this girl is gonna be.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
And that was thirty years ago. I started at KPPI
in ninety five.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (28:11):
Sorry, Yeah, he's the chick ter. But I knew she
had towns Ye had a great boy, very great personality.
But he's like one of the most listenable voices I've
ever heard in radio. So you know, I've been I've
been privileged to work with a lot of great talent,
and I had a you know, I've worked in radio
for forty years. I even worked for the Mountain after him.
(28:31):
It's funny. Your your your traffic guy's Dave, Obrian, Dave
and I worked together over the Mountains.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
So we've all been around for so long. Yeah, it's awesome.
Speaker 6 (28:40):
We're all old.
Speaker 3 (28:41):

Speaker 2 (28:53):
That's that's where it's going.
Speaker 6 (28:54):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
I know him, his guppy. You guys know him.
Speaker 7 (28:58):
We had crazy decades and a story he told I'm
I mean, I'm learning how to do radio and I'm
doing the six to seven hour by myself on a
station that nobody can hear.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
And no commercial talk the whole time.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
You had one break in that hour, and it was
a two minute break. You're sitting there. I mean you're
sitting there. I mean you you fortunately again, nobody could
hear it because you learn how to survive and.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
How to do radio.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
Actually a good way to do it.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Yeah, I mean my dad, God rest his soul.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
My dad would call up occasionally as the professor to
ask your question because I'm dying.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
I'm dying to get up back then you you took it.
You took a lot of calls.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
But he'd be back there, and I love how he said,
I was talking to my girlfriend like which one was
going to be my point? But he'd be back there
with his feet up like and I'd be like waving
my hands trying to get attention. Look in and he goes, oh,
all right, I'll take a call and then literally open
the door. And I mean that's you know, that's how
(30:04):
I learned to do Radio's interesting, Uh, because I started
on college radio where nobody's listening, and Susie you may
have done the same.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
Oh, weekend overnights is where I started.
Speaker 6 (30:14):
K g C.
Speaker 5 (30:15):
Yeah, that's the way you want to get started. They
kind of just threw you in there talk radio. Uh,
that's not an easy thing to do, especially with no experience.
Do you think you're losing your mind?
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Because you you actually start asking yourself questions and then
you answer them and.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
You just basically came off the football field and started
doing that, which is crazy.
Speaker 5 (30:37):
That was like, that was like tast Did you think,
be honest, that this was going to be your career?
Speaker 2 (30:45):
That first gig like I talked to IRV. IRV called
IRV was the baseball coach.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
To see IRV Brown, and I had known him because
I was I was going to play baseball my sophomore
year until the head football coach got fired. In the
new football coach, coach Mallory. He said, you're not playing
baseball in the spring. You're going to be out here
in spring football. Okay, so I knew of her. Earth
called when I got cut and said what are you
going to do? And at that point I was going
(31:11):
to go back, probably and give it another shot. I
was going to wait for a little bit.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
But I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
But I was pretty healthy, so I said, I don't know.
He said, once you come in and do a super
Bowl preview show. I said, okay, so I did. I
never listened to talk radio. I was a music guy,
so talked about the super Bowl. And he came back
here and say, the boss loves you and wants you
to do the six to seven hour every night. I said, well,
(31:40):
what am I going to talk about? He goes sports.
Just talk about sports, okay. So I mean literally, wow,
That's how I got started. And the Earth said, here's
here's what I want you to hear. Take every job
that's offered, no matter.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
What it is. So I was doing high school basketball games.
Speaker 1 (31:59):

Speaker 2 (32:02):
R Vada with IRV. You know we we don't we? Marty?
Speaker 1 (32:07):
The first first time I went to I went to
a high school real quickly. I put a suit and
tie on, so I walk. I walk with my little
briefcase for a nerd, a little briefcase, and I said,
which where? Which is the press entrance. That's a true story.
I swore to God and and the nice lady there said, honey,
(32:28):
I don't I don't think we have a press entrance.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
I said, well where where?
Speaker 1 (32:32):
How do you?
Speaker 2 (32:33):
How do you get in the game? She goes, you
have to have a ticket. So I bought a ticket.

You're broadcasting.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
I'm broadcasting the game. So I get there, earths not there.
So I'm standing.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
Here's Andy Gump standing with a little briefcase and tie,
you know, looking.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Around, standing like what do I do?
Speaker 6 (32:52):
IRV?
Speaker 3 (32:53):

T shirt and I'm like, or if are we not.

Speaker 1 (33:04):
We sit in the stands, of course, right and he's
