Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Here we go. So I justpulled a random assortment through the five hours.
I made sure I got his firstsign on and his sign off,
obviously, because you want to hearwhat he says as he said goodbye and
welcoming us all, but in between, it may just be an assortment of
various I hear good banter, allright, very good. So here comes
my boy Looch Party Looch from lastnight. It is Party Looch right here

(00:25):
on DC one oh one, DC'sAlternative Rock Friends. It was January of
twenty fifteen. I sold my condo. I packed up everything I owned into
a four door Da Wooliganza. Ileft everything I knew here in the DMV
to drive across the country and acceptthe radio position in Colorado Springs. See.
I had been listening to Elliot inthe Morning for like a decade throughout
high school, college, my wholeadult life, and I had such a

(00:48):
passion for radio that I literally starteda joke of a podcast called Looch Dog
in the Morning, just for fun. I was lucky to turn enough.
I was lucky enough to turn thatjoke into an actual position hosting a morning
show on Fambradio and Colorado Springs soI was super proud to have earned that
seat in that chair, and soare my family and friends. To be
honest with you, So when Iarrived at that dingy apartment Pike's Peak,

(01:11):
Dusty, Colorado Springs, you mightimagine that the emotions I felt that day
were going through my head when myco host called me to say, and
I quote, I'm sorry, man, but I quit. I'm leaving because
of sexual harassment. These guys arejerks. You'll be fine. Just host
a show on your own and useit as a stepping block. This is
the story that I called in yesterdayand told Elliott in the class, and

(01:34):
they were so taken back by thedetails. They're like, dude, come
in tomorrow night and do nights.Can you do it? Everyone's so shocked
we were able to actually make thishappen. So thank you to everyone here
at DC one on one. iHeartMedia. We did this in less than twenty
four hours, and me and ABwe're gonna hold this down for the rest
of the night, Ladies and gentlemen. I'm here from seven pm to midnight
to make sure that we do absolutelyno sinking, no swimming. Instead,

(02:00):
we sail off into the moonlight ona booze cruise. We have nothing but
good vibes and rock and roll allnight long. So join me on this
voyage my friends and family as wejam out all night together in the DMV.
It's your boy party loosh right hereon DC one on one. Good
for him. Love it, loveit? And can I tell you what

(02:22):
I love about it? Well?Number one, that's great. I can
get real dorky DJ with you realquick. It's not dorky. I think
that most people recognize something there.Well, I was going to give you
two things, okay, number oneand this is real dorky DJ stuff.
Number one, Christin get out yournotebook. Oh you should definitely be taking

(02:43):
notes in your little baby DJ notebook. Number one. Yeah, that's not
recorded. It's a live break.It's live. Yeah he did that live
made, which is something that ninetynine percent of this building doesn't do.
Yes, made my job a lotharder this morning when I couldn't just pull
the voice tracks. I was like, what that's a lot through and it

(03:07):
is. It's something ninety nine percentof this building doesn't do. That's number
one. Number two and this isreal like dorky DJ stuff. Not too
long. Oh what the what wereyou gonna say? I kidding him?
Oh, I said too long?I said too long? Oh no,
no, no, but for forfor he's not done this and god knows

(03:29):
how long you get rusty. Notonly do you get rusty, and Diane
you'll know this, but when youfirst start out, you're ninety percent of
the time you're talking over music andyou're talking with stuff in the background.
So it's it's it's very comforting whenit is just nothing but your voice and

(03:50):
a pair of headphones with nothing underit. It takes a while to just
get used to that. Agreed.Remember David Lee Roth could never do that
the well you always had to bed. Oh did he really? Oh?
I believe that. Yeah, itshowed the that's not easy to do.
God bless him. That's awesome.That. By the way, that's a

(04:12):
home run. That is a homerun. And I will tell you this,
every single break is live. Thereis not a single pre recorded segment.
Good for him that he did lastnight, Good for him? All
right, give me another one,give me another one. I'm all geeked
up for him. On one DC'salternative rock, Hey, if you'd like
to connect with the show, hangout with us. We're getting the calls

(04:32):
already. They're coming in hot eightsixty six nine to one DC one on
one. And we started a little, a little experiment today because everyone was
kind of curious if I would sinkor swim. So we started a Twitter
tag for you and X handle partyloos l ucc. Let's see how many
people we can get subscribed up therefollowing me. And if you want to
hear anything like this next song,you just let me know, because I'm

(04:55):
a wedding DJ at heart, andI'll tell you, man, weddings are
fun. But every now and thenI'll get a bride and groom and they
put this on the playlist, andI'm like, you guys, you guys,
if you're in the DMV, slamon your steering wheel, jump off
everywhere wherever you are, have fun. It's three days grace awesome. Yeah,

(05:16):
fantastic. I love him. Ilove him. He's great. So
we knew he hosted a lot ofevents. Is it primarily in the role
of wedding dj? Didn't he feellike he alluded to that? I mean,
I don't know. Does he dolike corporate stuff too? I would
imagine did he say like, theone good thing he got out of that
crap situation in Colorado Springs was hestarted his own events business. So I

(05:42):
assume it's weddings, bar mitzvahs,but not just parties. It could be
corporate things. Yeah, I wouldimagine it's all of that. I love
them. I love them. There'ssome are so yeah, of course I'm
here doing something cool, but that'snot what this is about tonight. I
don't want to make it all aboutme. AB. I work a lot
of weddings. Do you have anystrong opinions? Uh? No, Look,

(06:03):
first of all, party lookech thisis your show. I'm just here
along for the ride. My strongopinions on a B is on weddings.
A B strong opinions is that itdoesn't seem like any any of the ladies
want to marry A. But butAdam, dude, you're you're the wedding
expert. I want to hear fromyou, man. Okay, the well,

(06:27):
So, what was the setup?Was was a B running the board
for him? That I would assume, yes? Or was a BE just
in there in case something went haywire? I would assume I would. I
wouldn't expect him to walk in hereand know what to do. I don't.
I don't. Okay, well,Diane, don't. You're also you're
not You're not allowed to come aroundhere exactly right? Yeah, No I

(06:51):
would. I would bet a bran the board. So did they have
how I was running his mouth therea little bit by bye bye Elliott.
You know you can't live in yourhouse and throw stones like that? So
was party luch having to host theshow from the other side of the console.

(07:13):
Yeah, it's like, what's hisface? Jackson? Yeah, I'll
just sit over here in the corner. Did he get here yet? The
just the yeah? Because that that'shard, that's hard, especially we know
he had the experience of Colorado Springs. He was definitely going to be on
this side of the horseshoe. Tothen have so many years of rust and
do it from the other side,that's possibly what he did. Oh,
I bet that's what he did,because right is that we happen to have

(07:36):
two mics on this side. Arethe two mikes in that studio on that
side? No? Okay, Christen'ssaying there are whoops on that side.
I promise you he didn't run theboard. I can't imagine he ran the
board. I would be shocked ifhe ran the board. Maybe he did.
He's so goddamn good. There's anotherone DC one of One's party.

could have it could have been horrific. All I wanted him to do was
be able to get on the air. That was it. Yeah. I
expected to be a car crash.Not necessarily a car crash. How about
