The Don Geronimo Show - February 24, 2012
Today, Don begins by telling us that the owner of the San Diego station we were supposed to broadcast in loves the show, but the Program Director still hates it. Don also tells us how the owner described the PD, which led Don to ask, "Why did you hire him then?" The guys then go outside the station for another edition of "Porch Sittin'." While outside, Don continues on about the moron PD in San Diego, and the guys talk about Yahtzee, and the new season of Eastbound and Down.
After Don tells us he got a text from the owner of the San Diego station that said, "I'm listening," Don tells us about his interview with radio inc., in which he spoke about his past radio jobs in different cities. Don then tells some of his best stories from his earlier days at these stations. We also hear about Steven Tyler getting naked on American Idol, and a news reporter in Florida, who has a car wreck happen right behind her, and doesn't even notice!
Today is Abe Vigoda's 91st birthday, and Don has Craig come in to give Abe a call. Craig gets Abe on the air for everyone give him a nice birthday greeting. The guys then talk about Abe Vigoda's role in the Godfather movies, and that gets the guys into a discussion of their favorite death scenes in movies and on TV. We then find out that Peter Cetera, from the band Chicago, who was supposed to be on the show yesterday, but flaked, has once again flaked out on us today.
We do however, get a visit from comedian Doug Stanhope. Doug, who is performing at the punchline tonight and tomorrow, talks about his hatred for Sarah Palin, putting his vasectomy online, why he lives in Bisbee, AZ, and the kid who was ripping off his jokes and using them in his own online blog. We then hear Jimmy Fallon's tribute to Jeremy Lin in the style of Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam. It's then time for the "Phantom News Hour." Among the stories today: The mayor of San Diego says their budget deficit has been erased, Chris Brown steals a girl's iPhone, and the movies that are coming out this weekend. We then find out that hack editor Tom Couzens from the Sacramento Bee just called up the show, cursed at Craig about his hatred for the show, and hung up. Don and the guys have a good laugh when they find out he actually called on Wednesday as well! Don leaves Tom a voice message, as does Little Joe. After all the Friday shenanigans, Don wraps everything up with a caller 100!
