Gaydos After Dark–Friday, December 28, 2007

Longtime Scottsdale nightspot Anderson’s Fifth Estate is becoming a gay bar so we’ve got “The Top 7 Drinks That Should Be Served at a Gay Nightclub”!

During the first hour of tonight’s program, Phoenix bar owners are complaining that tougher DUI penalties are hurting their sales! Oh, their sales are down by 15%? Well, by all means, let’s put aside the safety of everyone on the roads–men, women and children–and get profits back up for these poor businessmen and women! Sheesh!

At 8, changes are afoot at Anderson’s Fifth Estate! Remember our friend Tom Anderson? He recently added a unisex restroom to his nightclub after the big brouhaha swirling around his transgender clients! Well, the whole debacle gave Anderson the idea that the gay community could use a nice new place to hang out! Anderson’s Fifth Estate will now be known as Forbidden! Anderson joins us at 8:15 to tell us all about it! It’s a Gaydos After Dark exclusive!

At 8:30, the Gaydos fans weigh in on the topics that hit them hardest in 2007! It’s radio madness; it’s “Up to 20″!

We begin our final hour of the night with the assassination of Benazir Bhutto! Don’t think for a moment that yesterday’s events in Pakistan won’t affect upcoming U.S. elections!

At 9:30, we have two great features that go great together: “The Rated R Issue of the Night” and our latest “Gaydos Experiment.” Did you know that it’s legal for women to sunbathe topless in a public park in Columbus, Ohio? Did you know that police there might use that fact to set up a sting operation meant to catch perverts? A Columbus firefighter did not know that until he was arrested! It sounds like entrapment to Gaydos!

Peeps, it’s been a great year and it goes without saying, it’s great to have Gaydos on the program!

Gaydos After Dark–Wednesday, December 26, 2007

Ohhhhh, Christmas has finally come and gone and that’s a relief to some people! Tonight, we’ve got “The Top 7 Signs You’ve Had a Bad Christmas”!

In our first hour, the Superbowl is only a month away, but Glendale mayor Elaine Scruggs still doesn’t have her ticket! She says she doesn’t want to pay $900.00 when she’s only going to be there on business! Is she that big a cheapskate? Hey, I’ve got my tickets! Maybe she’d like to attend the game in style with Gaydos!

At 8, I’m going to save the Gaydos peeps the aggravation of returning unwanted holiday gifts! It’s the first annual “Gaydos Christmas Gift Exchange”! Trade your inedible fruitcake for someone else’s gingerbread scented shower gel gift set!

8:30 brings us to Gaydos After Dark sports guy Jon Bloom! We talk with Jon about the holidays and the Holiday Bowl! Who would have thought? Bloom’s a Hanukkah guy!

At 9 o’clock, unfortunately, we have to bring you the story of a teenager who perished because her family’s insurance company refused to pay for a liver transplant until it was entirely too late. My take on this? That insurance company may as well have put a gun to her head and murdered her!

We finish off the show with Hanna Scott and “Gaydos on the News”! We’ll talk about the big San Francisco Zoo tiger attack and a guy who recently fell into deep…uh…trouble!

Wow, a faithful Gaydos peep set Gaydos up with the perfect gift for my brand new niece Ellie! Click here to see the Gaydos After Dark Baby Gear.

Gaydos After Dark–Monday, December 17, 2007

The Hollywood writers’ strike plods on, but Jay Leno and other late night hosts will soon be back on the air! That’s why we’re bringing you “The Top 7 Changes When The Tonight Show Returns Without Writers”!

The Deer Valley Unified School District met with parents tonight to discuss the methods of varsity football coach Rick Mey. He’s been accused of using inappropriate language and illustrations in his pep talks to players! The people making those accusations? Proper, dainty soccer moms! They don’t get it! This coach is giving his players just what they need! At 7:50, 92.3 news reporter Sandra Haros tells us just what happened at that meeting of concerned parents! Don’t miss this, our first issue of the night!

Our second hour takes you to a Gaydos After Dark holiday wonderland! It’s “A Very Gaydos Christmas”! We’re giving the fans–the peeps–hundreds of dollars in prizes and all you have to do is sing beloved Christmas carols! Of course, Gaydos can’t give away such a wealth of gifts for nothing, so there is a twist!

At 9, we once again broach the subject of immigration!  Just last week, we talked about the very real fear that the tensions surrounding illegal immigrants here in Phoenix might erupt into violence!  Well, after this weekend’s demonstrations, those fears don’t seem so far-fetched!  We’ll talk to Michelle Dallacroce, president of Mothers Against Illegal Aliens.  Just days ago, she found herself in a shoving match with another woman who said her husband had been deported!

Headbanger Hanna Scott is back with us for “Gaydos on the News” at 9:30!  Tonight, we report on the 300-plus drunk driving arrests in the southeast valley over the weekend, a guy who made a small fortune selling his kid’s video game to punish him for having pot, and a wealthy couple who enslaved two Indonesian women as housekeepers in their mansion!

Gaydos is headed out on vacation, but I’ll be back in a week!  Merry Christmas to all!  It’s great to have Gaydos on the program!

Gaydos After Dark–Friday, December 14, 2007

Tonight on Gaydos After Dark, it’s day 2 of the crisis involving my illegal alien girlfriend, so we begin the show with an update on her safety and security as Sheriff Joe apparently conducts a deft woman-hunt for her!

Obama may be headed for the Democratic nomination, but is he getting a big head about it? We’ve got “The Top 7 Signs Barack Obama is Getting Cocky”!

We devote the first half of tonight’s show to last night’s town meeting which was supposed to give people a chance to discuss Mayor Gordon’s new plan to let police ask people if they’re illegal immigrants! Well it seems the meeting deteriorated into chaos and many people were kicked out! One Phoenix attorney even worried that our city may see a repeat of the L.A. riots! I’m sorry to say, I believe it could happen! We’ll take your calls and find out whether you think the immigration debate could be headed toward violence!

At 8:30, the Gaydos peeps get things off their chests with our friday night feature “Up to 20″!

Mark Goudeau was sentenced to 438 years in prison today, a fate that’s way too good for him if you ask me! Of course, Goudeau is accused of being the Baseline Killer, although his his wife Wendy Karr defends him to this day! At 9 o’clock, we’ve invited her to give us a call, since she once seemed so eager to share her thoughts with Gaydos! Let’s see if we hear from Mrs. Baseline!

At 9:30, it’s “Gaydos on the News” with Headbanger Hanna Scott! Tonight, we’ll tell you about astro-nut Lisa Nowak’s dirty text messages and a gay soldier who–well–let’s just say, no one asked but, boy, did he tell!

Gaydos After Dark–Thursday, December 13, 2007

America’s pastime is going down the toilet like a hastily flushed drug stash, so we bring you “The Top 7 Excuses for Taking Steroids”!

Barack Obama is blazing a trail to Iowa and he’s spoken candidly about his past drug use!  What do you think about Obama’s admission?  For that matter, is he being so baldly honest just to win your vote?  We get your thoughts on these questions and more during our first big hour!

At 8, a crazy connection has occurred to Gaydos!  Of course you know, I love my New York Yankees!  Plus, any Gaydos peep will tell you, I’m a big fan of pro wrestling!  With today’s release of the long-anticipated Mitchell Report, it’s now obvious to me that the MLB and the WWE are really not all that different!  The wrestlers are juiced–the ball players are juiced!  And don’t we want our ball players drugged to the gills for spectacular play?  Seems to me, Bud Selig wanted them that way all along!  At 8:30, Gaydos After Dark sports guy Jon Bloom tells us, we can’t lay all the blame on the players!

9 o’clock brings us to our ongoing chats with The McLaughlin Group’s Eleanor Clift!  She’s the latest addition to our seasoned Gaydos After Dark political team and tonight she helps us project which candidates will take Iowa!

Maybe you’ve noticed, Mike Huckabee is not my favorite political candidate these days!  As I find out more about him, I can’t imagine many smart women would want to vote for him either!  I’ll tell you why at 9:20!

At 9:30, it’s Red V. Blue Thursday, and Red V. Blue Thursday means Presidential Match Game!  Hanna Scott, Jarrett Carlen and B. Nicks make this election season come alive as our Republican and Democratic competitors throw down for fun and prizes!

Seems like everyone and their mother is running for president–literally!  At 9:50, we find out which candidate’s mom is on the campaign trail now!

Gaydos After Dark–Wednesday, December 12, 2007

Tonight’s first hour is very personal to Gaydos! Sheriff Joe Arpaio told Ankarlo this morning that he’s well aware that I have an illegal alien girlfriend! It sounds like Sheriff Joe is gunning for Gaydos and his special lady friend of, let’s see, four… seven…carry the two…twenty-one weeks?! He’s probably just jealous of my hot, juicy Latina woman, so we’ve got “The Top 7 Reasons Sheriff Joe Should Have an Illegal Alien Girlfriend”!

By the way, I don’t usually ask my peeps to take sides, but this is a dire situation! You’re either with Gaydos or you’re with Sheriff Joe! If you’re with me, send me a message of support at savemyillegalaliengirlfriend@ktar.com!

At 8 o’clock, a Phoenix attorney says Sheriff Joe himself has been guilty of racial profiling! Julie Pace is representing businesses who oppose the new employee sanctions law. She says that Sheriff Joe actually asked his waitress if she was in the country legally. Did the sheriff really ask that question? He’s an eccentric guy; maybe he did! But, even if he did, is it a big deal? We’ll also touch on Manuel Ortega’s lawsuit against the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office for allegedly detaining him illegally. That’s at 8:50!

At 9, I’ll boil down today’s Republican debate in Iowa! It was a disaster! The moderator was awful! I didn’t get to see anyone rip Mike Huckabee because the candidates weren’t allowed to address each other! At least Alan Keyes (who?) was there for comic relief!

9:30 brings us to “Gaydos on the News,” in which we cover ten big stories in ten minutes with the help of 92.3 news anchor Hanna Scott! Tonight we learn that Jodie Foster is finally out of the closet and Ike Turner is finally good and dead!

Lest we forget, it’s great to have Gaydos on the program!

Gaydos After Dark–Tuesday, December 11, 2007

Sheriff Joe Arpaio is once again shaking up the world of law enforcement, this time with a new kind of punishment for DUI! Gaydos After Dark brings you “The Top 7 Signs You’re Part of a Bad Chain Gang”!

Our first issue tonight is a new study showing that, nationally, marijuana and ecstasy use among young people are down. However, the study says their abuse of prescription drugs is up! This hour, we talk about how this nationwide trend compares to what’s happening here in Arizona!

Gaydos is enduring yet another Christmas nightmare and you’ll hear about it during the eight o’clock hour! My brother and his wife just had a beautiful baby girl! She’s a precious new life on Earth and Gaydos now has to buy her Christmas gifts! For cryin’ out loud! I don’t have kids, I don’t want kids and I don’t know anything about kids! What do you get a baby for the holidays? Do you think she’d like a gas gift card?

At 8:30, Sheriff Joe can’t get enough of seeing guys dressed in pink! He’s now dressing up convicted drunk drivers in pink shirts and having them help bury people who’ve died of alcohol and drug abuse! If Arpaio is using this as a deterrent, it’s not a very good one! Getting out of tent city for the day is more like a field trip for the inmates! At 9 o’clock, I’ll have some good ideas for deterring drunk driving!

At 9:30, it’s “Gaydos on the News”! Headbanger Hanna Scott joins me in bringing you ten big stories in ten minutes. On tonight’s edition of “Gaydos on the News,” we learn that you’d better eat your Big Mac fast when you travel across the pond and that Scott Baio has left Gaydos deeply disappointed!

Gaydos After Dark–Monday, December 10, 2007

Michael Vick has been sentenced to almost two years in prison for his involvement in dog fighting, so we kick things off with “The Top 7 Things Overheard at Michael Vick’s Sentencing”!

Our first big issue tonight deals with G.O.P. presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, who, back when he was governor of Arkansas, apparently pushed for a convicted rapist to be set free. That convict went on to rape again and the victims are calling Huckabee on it! Why did Huckabee do that? Because he heard that this animal had “found God”! If this guy is elected president, can we trust him not to make boneheaded decisions in the name of God?

At 8 o’clock, we hear that Mayor Phil Gordon is finally making an attempt to bring together the operators of Pruitt’s Home Furnishings and their longtime protesters, led by Salvador Reza! My first question: where has Mayor Gordon been all this time?! This conflict has been going on for a couple of months now and I think the mayor’s efforts may be too little, too late!

At 8:30, Horizon High School was locked down today after someone was spotted carrying a gun on campus! A gunman at your kid’s school is bad enough, but then you find out you can’t come and get your kid out of there? You’d be beside yourself with fear! Gaydos talks to KTAR news pro and mom Hanna Scott about today’s big scare!

Starting out our final hour, it’s Oprah-palooza! Boy, do people turn out to see Oprah and Obama together! But you wouldn’t want Oprah to be V.P., would you? We address this question in yet another “Gaydos Experiment “!

At 9:30, we have our weekly chat with legendary ABC newsman Sam Donaldson!

Then, as happens with all truly good things, the show must end! However, we couldn’t leave without bringing you our “Cardinals Radio Replay”! Cards fans, we’ll get through this season…the excitement…the humiliation…together!

16, 17, 18 hours of news, opinion and entertainment, squeezed into a brilliant three hours; that’s Gaydos After Dark!

Gaydos After Dark–Friday, December 7, 2007

Wildcats coach Lute Olson is taking six months off from coaching because he just filed for divorce, so we bring you “The Top 7 Reasons You’re Getting Divorced from Your Basketball Coach Husband”!

Ladies and gentlemen, Gaydos doesn’t like to blow his own horn, but I’m an asset to FM News/Talk 92.3! Some might even say I’m a leader, an icon, maybe even a legend. So during our first hour, I must ask, why did the suits give me a lousy thirty-five dollar gas card as my Christmas bonus?! Should I be insulted by this?

At 8, we revisit the Megan Meier story. She was the young girl who killed herself after being duped into thinking a boy had rejected her online. The mom who the boy actually turned out to be is finding out how angry the community is about the situation! She’s getting death threats and bricks thrown through her windows! False police reports have been filed and she even had to close her business! Does she deserve this? I think so, but only up to a point!

At 8:30, it’s our own special strain of radio madness, “Up to 20″!

By the way, I can’t believe Lute Olson is taking six months off because of his divorce! If you or I went through this, we wouldn’t get six months off! It’s our 9 o’clock topic and Gaydos After Dark sports guy Jon Bloom says I should give the guy a break!

At 9:30, Headbanger Hanna Scott joins Gaydos for “Gaydos on the News.” Find out how dopey the terrorists are, what kind of tipper Donald Trump is and how far a bride-to-be will go to get a gown for that special day!

Gaydos After Dark–Thursday, December 6, 2007

Today, Mitt Romney tried to set the record straight on his faith and the role he feels it plays in his bid for the presidency, so we’re bringing you “The Top 7 Surprises During Mitt Romney’s Big Speech”!

My immediate thoughts on Romney’s speech:  Boring!  Wooden!  Like Al Gore!  Somehow, he struck me as desperate, too!  These aren’t the reasons you won’t elect him president, however.  You won’t elect him because you, like so many others, are freaked out by the Mormon religion!  I, Gaydos, would vote for a Mormon if he were the right man for the job.  We get your thoughts on this during our first hour!

Yesterday’s massacre in an Omaha mall has left the nation once again stunned.  It also left the young gunman famous, as reports say his suicide note predicted.  Should this guy’s name and face be plastered all over the news media?  Are we just giving him what he wants?  Gaydos seeks the answers to these questions at 8 o’clock!  We’ll also hear the chilling 9-1-1 calls that came in as the shooter continued his rampage!

You already know that Gaydos thought the Mitt Romney speech was a dud.  At 9 o’clock, Eleanor Clift of The McLaughlin Group gives us her thoughts on where Mitt goes from here!

At 9:20, will Jenna Bush’s dad be hot under the collar when he gets an unexpected call from his pumpkin while she’s on The Ellen DeGeneres Show?

Of course, we round out Red V. Blue Thursday with Presidential Match Game!  Carlos(D) and James(R) match wits and answers with our panel of stars:  Headbanger Hanna Scott, young Gaydos apprentice Jarrett Carlen and presidential historian and scholar B. Nicks!

It’s great to have Gaydos on the show!
