Get Ready To Face The Truth!
This one is rock solid and I’m my biggest critic. Stock market crash….One Direction going on “hiatus” and young girls are having emotional breakdowns, Josh Dugger is a liar, a cheat and pretty much a piece of shit and you won’t want to miss the story of the 910 pound woman in NYC taken out of her apartment with a crane. Radio the way it used to be. Nothing safe and boring.
Danny talks about strip clubs, guys that go into sex shops, and how aliens supposedly ended the Cold War.
Danny explains how he “doesn’t see color.” How to beat Donald Trump. How can Kim Kardasians boob be looked as a “reward?” Why did Mr. Green Jeans urinate on Captain Kangeroo? Just click here and listen.
Did ya watch the freakshow last night? If you did or if ya missed it Danny breaks it down minus all the boring political bull$hit. Even if you find politics boring you should enjoy the potshots Danny takes. Just Click below and listen and have a great weekend!
Okay…,.here’s today’s podcast. The wang of Lenny Kravitz is discussed. Find out why Steven Tyler is even talking about it. Two days in a row I get to highlight dumb things Sheriff Mustache has said. Just click below and it will be quite clear why I had a 5PM appointment with my shrink.
The weekly DANNYLAND internet show has ended. Taking it to the next level will be podcasts. We have plans to add more people to the show but for now Danny will be breaking down daily news stories/events in his own unique and twisted way. Commercial radio has evolved into a boring jukebox where everything is “happy, joyful and perfect.” That’s a bunch of freshly dropped steaming crap. Life is a struggle. When people ask for the truth they really don’t mean that. What these hypocrites are saying is “tell me what I wanna hear.” I don’t have all the answers…I look forward to learning from YOU. Now let’s drop all the bullshit and enter the world that is DANNYLAND!
One of the topics trending this morning is Donald Trump telling Larry King his breath stinks. This was 10 years ago and probably true. I put together an audio piece of not only Trump telling King to chew on a mint but celebrities who have passed gas on the air. Just click below to listen to my audio blog.
I’ve been lackadaisical in my blog. For that matter I have been lackadaisical in my life for the past four months. I have become obsessed with what direction I wish to take next in life. Just over four years ago I told management at my last station that people don’t want eight songs an hour…they want content…GREAT content. We agreed to disagree and went our separate ways. Guess what? The show in there now isn’t playing any music. It wasn’t a surprise to me because I knew I was right then but now I’m truly at a crossroads.
I don’t own a radio. I only listen to content so that forces me to listen to podcasts at my leisure. Same thing is happening to TV. I have had numerous offers to return to radio but they want me to run these “features” like “Three things ya need to know”. “College of Knowledge”, “Skirt with the Dirt”, etc. I have no desire to waste the listener’s time with such predictable content. I also don’t find someone making an ice cream sundae in their pants on a street corner to be very compelling either.
Okay jackass. You just spent two paragraphs ranting about the problem what is the solution. Simple….I want to make people react. I’m an open book. I’ve made many mistakes and bad choices in life but those pitfalls taught me so much. I have been diagnosed with OCD, social anxiety disorder and general anxiety disorder. I don’t say that to gain your sympathy I just lay it out there so anyone else struggling with it knows they are not alone.
I truly believe that we are living in times that are quite frightening. The dumb asses out there that are following Kim K and Kanye need to pay attention to events/stories that really affect our lives. I don’t want to discuss politics all the time. I know a little about a lot. I wanna make you laugh, cry, agree, disagree, love me, hate me, love to hate me but above and beyond I want to learn from you. That was an answer I gave a General Manager in a large market about 6 months ago when he asked me “What type of show do ya do?” He looked at me like I just spoke a foreign language.
I have a decision to make very soon. Hold out for a radio gig that will let me loose and employ my strengths or enter the podcast world where there are no rules or parameters. On paper it looks like a no-brainer but I hate to walk away from something I love even it appears to be unfixable.
I hate puppets. I just find the entire process a bit freaky. There’s a man with his hand up a sock trying to convince those around him that his talking sock is real. For my mind this doesn’t work.
Jeff Dunham is a successful comedian…..why? I have no idea but he made $25 million one year and has his own private jet and he makes his living talking to a sock. I should also mention he is a great ventriloquist which is also very creepy. Unless you are Stephen Hawking I expect you to move your lips when you speak and people who have conversations with themselves usually are in a rubber room weaving baskets out of cooked spaghetti.
So Jeff Dunham was in West Palm one weekend playing the local comedy club and part of the deal upper management made with the club is that each comedian in town that week would appear on my show every Friday. Don’t get me wrong. Some were GREAT but others didn’t want to be there and they basically brought the show to a screaming halt. Jeff shows up and goes in our “green room.” During a commercial break I walk in and introduce myself. I said “Gotta be honest. Puppets freak me out and this is radio so there is no reason to bring in a puppet. Do all the voices ya want. We’ll have fun.” I then walked back in the studio as the commercial break was about over and I like to bring my guests in live. Have them walk in…get settled….introduce the rest of the show, let them adjust their mic, etc all LIVE on the air because I think it involves the listeners and is much more REAL.
You can guess what happened right? Dunham brings in “Walter” which is the old man puppet pictured above. Dunham starts in on me right away with Walter, “What’s a matter Danny? Afraid of an old man?” Now I’m an honest guy and I replied “Look Jeff. You have your hand in a sock. I am not talking to a sock.” Well Dunham only saw this as a challenge and tried to get me to talk to Walter. “You’re grumpier than me. You look like you haven’t had a bowel movement. How long have you hated old people?”
Well I refused to be sucked into this game and I found the tension in the room to be riveting….who is gonna turn this off? I came back at Jeff, “Look….we talked about this before. I will talk to you all day but that is not an old man. That is a very expensive sock. You have your right hand in a tube sock and I can’t engage in a conversation with something that belongs in a shoe.”
Dunham’s next move shocked me. He barked out “Fine.” He stood up, grabbed Walter, threw him….yes THREW him in a guitar case and stormed out of the studio. The sight of an adult throwing a puppet in a guitar case in a fit of anger made me laugh uncontrollably. To this day whenever I put on a pair of socks I think of Jeff Dunham. I also think of the $25 million he made in one year. Scoreboard Dunham and his sock.
DANNYLAND!!!!!!
