Interview With…

Dagwood of 102.9 The Buzz

1) Since our last interview with you I'm sure you've had to fend off

Paparazzi, groupies, and bi-curious Hawthorne Heights fans on the way in to

work each day. How are you holding up through all of this new notoriety?

Nice slam on Hawthorne! Well, I've had all of ZERO people mention my last

interview. So either you have no readers or people hated me. Take your

pick. I'll accept either.

2) I recently ran into you at Exit/In for the Caprice CD Release show along

with McFly and Russ. What did you think of the show and are you getting out

to more shows these days?

The show was great! Deadsun and Return to Self were there also. Although I

couldn't enjoy it because Russ started the "ball-smacking game". If you're

not familiar with this, some drunken, wise-ass smacks you in the balls, you

retaliate, they retaliate, some other a-hole decides they wanna get in on

it, then you're cupping your balls the rest of the night and it consumes you

with paranoia. It can really ruin a night. It's hard for me to get out to

shows since I have to get up so damn early. I AM gonna make it to see War

Within one night. I love those guys.

Mas Tequila!

3) Since we last interviewed you, the station has switched from Bob and Tom

to Free Beer and Hot Wings. What's your opinion of the show and wouldn't it

be great to do a remote from Hooters one morning where you actually get free

beer and hot wings (at 7am)?

You drunks are always trying to get free beer somehow. I love the Free Beer

and Hot Wings Show! We (and for some reason, me personally) took a lot of

crap from the listeners. B/T's people were the ones who pulled the plug, not

us. Now the B/T listeners can hear that 5 hour sales pitch on another

station (if they can pick it up) and everyone's happy. FB&HW are starting to

gain a big audience now that listeners are getting familiar with what the

hell is going on during the show. So we're very pleased!

4) Are you going to be the next Buzz deejay to jump ship or get fired? I'm

starting to think name tags are in order.

Radio is a rough business...every day could be your last. I'm not planning on

leaving anytime soon, though. Nashville is my hometown. Actually, I went to

LaVergne High School (close enough). For the listeners who don't know, our

weekend jock, Max, was killed in an automobile accident in late August. RIP,

big guy!

5) On my recent appearance on the Local Buzz it was decided that our video

show would be creating Aljon and Anna puppets for future episodes. Any

objections to having a Dagwood puppet on the show (even if it looks like

Billy Bob in Sling Blade with a dirty UT hat)?

Is it one of those puppets where you have your hand up my ass? As long as

you don't make puppet porno movies with me and Aljon, you have my

permission.

6) Speaking of UT, what happened in California?

The same thing that's happened to Vandy 30 out of the last 33 times they've

played Tennessee, they lost! No matter how bad that game looked, TN still had

a chance to tie it up in the 4th quarter. Good news for Cal, though .they

can now get on with their lives. They cried over that game for a year.

7) Settle a debate for our readers. Did someone up high get paid off, jerked

off, blown, and threatened with deadly force to cause you guys to play

'Alcoholin' Ass' 3 billion times a day? If not, for the love of God,

WHYYYY???!!!!

Any questions about that should be sent to Russ. I'll let him answer that.

However, the "HELLYEAH" CD is one of my favorites of the last 5 years.

8) I noticed you have a couple of Colts photos on your myspace page. Please

tell me you're not one of the many UT fans that *suddenly* became Colts fans

because of Peyton. (Can you tell I'm a Vandy fan yet?)

I never had a favorite NFL team. I was always a college football fan. During

Manning's rookie year, I would watch just to see how he was doing. Then all

of a sudden I started pulling for them and the next thing you know: I'm a

fan. So, technically, the answer is "yes". I know you're a Vandy fan because

I heard from you (almost immediately) after they beat TN two years ago.

9) There's an extremely disturbing photo on your myspace page of you and

Golden from Return to Self. Those guys will do just about anything to make

it huh?

Yes they will but I can't do anything to help them so the joke's on him! If

you could only see the one's that weren't uploaded! You should see the text

messages he sends me late at night after he's been drinking! I think he has a

man-crush on me.

An Intimate Moment With Golden

10) The Next Big Nashville festival recently came to a close for 2007. Did

you make it out to any shows? If so, what did you think?

Unfortunately, I didn't get to make it out.

The Last of Dagwood

Book you read: I've never read a book all the way through in my life.

Person that pissed you off: I actually can't remember. If I had to guess, The

Incredible Hull

Band you saw live? Deadsun

CD you bought: I'm in radio, I don't buy CDs, you should know that! Actually,

I did buy Sepultura- "Chaos:A.D." and Megadeth- "Rude Awakening" about a

year ago at Phonoluxe.oh, and I bought Blue Oyster Cult "Burnin' For You"

off ITunes this past weekend.

Movie you watched: The new Halloween. I REALLY wanted to like this

movie. Total suckage. It wasn't even remotely scary or creepy.

Time you screamed at Phil Fulmer through a TV set: I do this at least 12

times per game. I'm not sure why I bother, I should be used to mediocrity by

now.

Last one: Give us a "crazy radio" story.

I can’t tell any that wouldn't get me and just about everyone here fired.

Hull did fart one morning in the studio and I wanted to vomit. That was

"crazy".

I have the band request disabled...but I'll gladly add any local band, so

just send me a message and I'll hit you back.

Thanks, guys! I'm always glad to do this.

Scary!
