Gaydos After Dark–Wednesday, November 14, 2007

People Magazine has voted Matt Damon the Sexiest Man Alive! For the rest of us, it’s “The Top 7 Signs You’re Not the Sexiest Man Alive”!

Chandler Police have had no luck picking up the Chandler Rapist so far, so their latest tactic is to go on t.v. and politely ask the guy to call them! What are they thinking? This guy doesn’t have a tender side they can appeal to! He doesn’t have a reasonable side! He’s a monster! Or, is this a calculated move to goad the guy into action? One caller thinks I’m wrecking their operation by talking about it, but Gaydos has to ask these questions! We talk about this vital topic during the first half of the show.

Then, at 8:30, a little gift for the D-Backs fans before the holiday shopping season is even upon us! I, Honorary Yankee, Larry Gaydos, interview Diamondbacks manager Bob Melvin! He’s just been voted National League Manager of the Year, so it’s the least Gaydos could do!

At 8:50, the Catholic church is scandalized once again, but it’s not perverted priests in the news this time. Now, it’s a naughty nun! She’s 79 years old now, but back in the 60’s she apparently spent lots of time chasing young boys! I repeat, she’s a nun!

At 9 o’clock, we learn what’s been happening with Cristina Mallon, the teacher who ran into trouble after her classroom cheer leading routine wound up on YouTube. After that whole mess–not to mention the trouble she got into for introducing students to a somewhat mature novel–Mallon has decided to move on. She will resign her position with the Higley Unified School District December 31st.

Hollywood Dave is back again tonight at 9:30, this time to discuss the newly released list of “The 50 Greatest TV Icons.” Dave and I agree, the accuracy of this list is pretty hit-and-miss! Calista Flockhart ranked above Bob Hope? Come on!

Gaydos After Dark–Tuesday, November 13, 2007

Tonight on Gaydos After Dark, a happy conclusion to the saga regarding which restroom the transgendered should use. Therefore, we bring you “The Top 7 Signs You Are In a Unisex Bathroom”!

You heard right, people of Phoenix and it’s a Gaydos After Dark exclusive! Transsexual Michele de LaFreniere and club owner Tom Anderson have kissed and made up, so to speak! These two butted heads in the past when female guests of Anderson’s club complained of Michele’s other transgendered friends using the ladies’ room. Now, they’ve put their differences behind them! Michele is welcome to come back to Anderson’s Fifth Estate. Anderson added a single-stall, unisex bathroom to the club. Everyone’s happy! In all modesty, after our earlier conversations with these two on Gaydos After Dark, I must say I feel responsible for engineering this reconciliation! Share the love during our first hour!

For much of the 8 o’clock hour, we discuss the case of the Nebraska teacher who had an affair with her young student and then ended up driving him home to Mexico! Attorney James Davis claims the teacher is the victim here! He says the kid may be older than thirteen and that he seduced her! He says this may even be a ploy by the kid’s family for citizenship!

But let’s make sure our priorities are straight! As we discuss this teacher-student tryst, a call comes in that takes precedence over this and all other possible topics. That call was from a female listener who claimed she had e-mailed Gaydos sexy photos…possibly photos of herself in a state of undress! What to do, what to do?! Gaydos Peeps, I know you will tell me what to do! This, incidentally, is why Gaydos came to the FM dial!

At 9:30, KTAR news anchor Hannah Scott joins Gaydos for a lively discussion of recent events, including Borat’s endorsement of Barack Obama, Georgia’s prayers for rain, and the O.J. Report!

Gaydos After Dark–Monday, November 12, 2007

John McCain’s mommy is on the campaign trail with him and has made some embarrassing comments about Mitt Romney being a Mormon, so we’ve got “The Top 7 Signs Your Mother is Ruining Your Presidential Campaign”!

In our 7 o’clock hour, it’s the story of an illegal alien who was arrested for peeping up the skirts of Mesa women while they shopped for clothes! Hey, this guy got arrested, but Gaydos wonders, is this any different from the times I sneak a peak down the blouse of–say–a woman working here at KTAR? I don’t think so!

8 o’clock brings us to yet another tragedy in the valley. A man’s daughter is tortured and killed by his girlfriend! Did anyone nearby notice anything amiss in the household? Did neighbors realize the kids were being mistreated? In fact, it sounds like they did, but they took no action to get the now-deceased girl and her sister out of this environment of abuse! I’ve said it before: the people who ignored the signs are equally responsible for this girl’s death!

Five Michigan high school boys were expelled for posing as gang bangers in online photos. They struck poses holding fake guns and fake drugs and then posted the pictures on MySpace. When school officials found the pics, they decided the safest thing to do was to expel the kids! It seems to me, none of this took place on school property. We discuss this mind-blowing paranoia after 9 o’clock!

Hollywood Dave stops in at 9:50 to give us his take on the new antiwar movie Lions for Lambs, which just happened to be released on Veteran’s Day!

It’s great to have Gaydos on the program!

Gaydos After Dark–Friday, November 9, 2007

Something called Hannah Montana is appearing in Phoenix tonight to great fanfare! We’ll learn more about it during “The Top 7 Surprises at the Hannah Montana Show.”

During our first hour, I see it all around me–my poor schmuck married friends are miserable! That’s why Gaydos stays the heck away from marriage and kids! That’s why Gaydos lives the good life! That’s why Gaydos asks the question, would you married people take a do-over and be single and child-free again if you could?

At 8 p.m., we talk more about the Hannah Montana phenomenon. Apparently, she’s huge with 9-year-old girls, but Gaydos needs his peeps to give him the 4-1-1 on this kid pop star.

It’s Friday night, so of course we bring you “Up to 20,” which gives you 20 uninterrupted seconds to tell Gaydos what’s on your mind!

At 9, it’s actually happening. Kids are being suspended for hugging it out at school! What’s wrong with a little hug? Even Team Gaydos can use a little group hug once in a while, but some school officials think it can only lead to trouble!

In the last half hour, it’s the newest position in Major League Baseball: the Replay Judge! There’s talk of instant replay coming to baseball and I don’t like it! The worst thing you could do is make the game slower! Not to mention the fact that we’d miss heckling the umps!

Rounding out our Friday night show is an appalling story about how racism is alive and well at a company in Georgia.  A hint to these idiots: “white only” bathrooms aren’t the accepted thing these days!

7 to 10, 7 to 10, 7 to 10–that’s how I roll!

Gaydos After Dark–Thursday, November 8, 2007

Ohhhhh, the next NBA All Star Game will be played in Phoenix! Find out more from our “Top 7 Reasons the All Star Game is Coming to Phoenix”!

The Chandler Rapist has seemingly failed in his latest attempt to assault a young girl, but this creep is still on the loose! Unfortunately, one Spanish language radio station is refusing to broadcast the fact that the rapist may be Hispanic! They say they think it’s racial profiling. What a disaster! If the suspect was a white guy, they’d be shouting it to the heavens! Victims describe this crumb as Hispanic and that information should be broadcast so that the police can catch this S.O.B.!

By the way, at 7:45, an illegal calls to tell us he wouldn’t turn the guy in if it meant he might be deported! I hope he isn’t speaking for the entire Hispanic community, but at least I was able to help him see the light! Gaydos is right on top of the crucial issues of the day, so we stay with this topic well into the third hour of the show!

At 9:30, we celebrate Red V. Blue Thursday with our inaugural edition of Presidential Match Game! Get it? “Inaugural!” I crack myself up!

Gaydos After Dark–Tuesday, November 6, 2007

There’s yet another reason to forget about T.V. and spend your primetime hours listening to Gaydos After Dark! Tonight we bring you the “Top 7 Signs the Hollywood Writers Are On Strike!”

We devote the 7 and 8 o’clock hours to an examination of newly released 9-1-1 calls made by Ashly Duchene when she found her infant son dead in the back seat of a hot car. I’m wondering how this audio will affect your opinion regarding this tragedy. Personally, I would have expected her to sound a lot more hysterical…a lot less coherent. To say the least, I find her call troubling. A few callers to tonight’s show say they have some insight into Duchene’s situation and one tells us that he was close to a similar horrible accident.

At 9 o’clock, Gaydos is happy to say, the D-Backs are going to have to forfeit their 2001 World Series Championship to its rightful owners, my New York Yankees! Turns out D-Backs then 3rd baseman Matt Williams was a juicer! A Cheater! I bet Schilling was enhancing himself too! Diamondbacks, we can do this the easy way! Just hand the title over to Gaydos and I will deliver it safely home to the mean streets of New York!

Gaydos After Dark–Wednesday, November 7, 2007

Mesa has voted yes on a new water park called the Waveyard, and so we list for you “The Top 7 Signs You’re at a Lousy Water Park”!

Speaking of the Waveyard–or as I like to call it, Wallyworld–Mesa never votes for anything that’ll cost them any money! Why would they vote for this? In my experience, these water parks are a good place to get foot fungus and sunburn! Not to mention all the kids peeing in the water! Personally, I’d rather drive the seven hours to San Diego and chill on a real beach! That’s how Gaydos rolls during our first hour!

A report issued by the University of Cincinnati says that Highway Patrol officers in the valley are more than twice as likely to stop vehicles driven by African Americans or Hispanics as those driven by whites. According to the study, Hispanics are especially unlikely to get off with just a warning. We try to figure out, during the 8 o’clock hour, whether or not this really amounts to racial profiling.

In the 9 o’clock hour, we bemoan the scourge that is the annoying public cell phone user! There’s now a device that renders the pesky phones temporarily inactive! It’s not strictly legal, mind you, but it’s oh so appealing to Gaydos! We take your calls on the topic and even talk to one of KTAR’s own who may be a cell phone addict herself!

It’s great to have Gaydos on the program!!

Gaydos After Dark–Monday, November 5, 2007

It’s official! We are one year away from the next presidential election! Tonight’s Top 7 at 7 reveals “The Top 7 Signs You Are Not Ready to Run for President in a Year!”

Hillary Clinton, Rudy Giuliani, John Edwards…all are candidates Gaydos will never, ever vote for! As I add to that list, I’m well on my way to deciding who I will vote for. During the first hour, we run through the Gaydos Presidential Process of Elimination!

Tragically, a child was mauled to death by a pitbull today. As you’ll hear at 8 o’clock, I think we could solve this problem if we took all the pitbulls and gave them the goodnight needle. These dogs are evil! What’s that you say? The people who train them to be this way are the evil ones? Well we can’t kill them, so it’s gotta be the dogs!

At 9 o’clock, remember the teacher who fell in love with her 13-year-old illegal alien student and took off for Mexico with him? Well, here’s an observation from the masterful mind of Gaydos: this teacher effectively deported an illegal! Maybe this is how we win the war on illegal immigration! We pair each teacher with an illegal and have her drive him home to Mexico! Are you with me, Peeps?

At 9:30, we talk about the coming election year with Sam Donaldson. That’s followed at 9:50 by a look at the big news of the day, the fact that Senator John McCain is clueless about the Employer Sanctions Bill!

7 to 10, 7 to 10, 7 to 10, that’s how I roll!

Gaydos After Dark–Friday, November 2, 2007

High drama today at the Palo Verde Nuclear Plant!  In the Gaydos Top 7 at 7, we uncover the top 7 signs the plant is unsafe!  Security workers discovered a pipe bomb in a construction worker’s truck today.  The device measured a whopping five inches and was caught at a checkpoint only a mile away from the plant!  Terrifying stuff, Gaydos peeps!  So terrifying that, during the 7 o’clock hour, I needed your encouragement to help me leave the  safety of the Gaydos Bunker.  Was I overreacting?  Was everyone?

At 8 o’clock, who do you think leaked Dog the Bounty Hunter’s N-word-peppered phone conversation to a national tabloid?  It was his son!  The Enquirer paid Tucker Chapman $15,000 for the audio that would ruin his dad.  How much would it take for you to make such a move?  Don’t get me wrong, I think the Doggy is getting what he deserves!  But this kid sold the tape for a pittance and is screwing himself right out of a huge inheritance!  Is there a time when it’s okay to sell out a family member?

At 8:30, Up to 20 brings out every kind of peep!  It’s like Radio YouTube and all are welcome!

Uptight prudery rears its ugly head again in the 9 o’clock hour.  The people of Surprise are losing it over the name of a coffee shop.  Company officials at Bad Ass Coffee say the A-word in their name refers to donkeys used to haul coffee beans, but Surprise residents think they’re just a bunch of potty mouths!  Is the craziness in Gilbert rubbing off on Surprise?  Maybe Surprise is another town full of people who aren’t gettin’ any?

Closing out the show and another week of fine Gaydos broadcasts, we have the story of a school teacher running off with her thirteen-year-old student! Also, there’s the Saudi author and cleric who wants to make sure Muslim men are doing their level best to beat their wives well!

Have a great weekend and join me for more Gaydos After Dark, Monday night at 7!

Gaydos After Dark–Thursday, November 1, 2007

Don Imus is finally headed back to work after being fired from his syndicated radio show for remarks he made about the Rutgers women’s basketball team. Will he be the same old Imus? We find out on the Gaydos Top 7 at 7!

Following the Top 7, we find that ASU students are replacing booze and sex with a new habit: prayer! A campus Christian group plans to pray, in shifts, around the clock for twenty-one days. Gaydos has to ask, what’s going on with our youth? Isn’t college a time for experimentation? For fun? In short, for sin?! Also, why did they have to send out a press release about this? Have your prayer party already, but don’t preach to me about your religion!

At 8 o’clock, we hear about Duane Chapman, a.k.a. Dog the Bounty Hunter. He was caught on tape, in conversation with his son, using racial slurs; using them, in fact, repeatedly! Chapman was telling his kid that he had to dump his African American girlfriend if he wanted to stay in the bounty hunter business! A&E, the network on which Dog the Bounty Hunter airs, has suspended taping of the show for now. What a racist! Should he lose his show for these remarks? Personally, I hope he does!

9 p.m. is the final hour and deals with Fred Phelps and his infamous Westboro Baptist Church. This congregation has picketed dozens of soldiers’ funerals, spreading their warped message that God takes our fighting men and women in retaliation for U.S. tolerance of homosexuality. Albert Snyder sued the group after they demonstrated at the funeral of his son Matthew, and guess what? Snyder won! This should lend strength to other families who have had their time of grief invaded by these fundamentalist crazies! Maybe Snyder should use the 11 million to help bring this group down!

Thanks for listening to Gaydos After Dark!
