Gaydos After Dark–Monday, March 31st, 2008

They’re opening a posh luxury theater in Scottsdale and the admission price will be in the elite range as well! Tonight, it’s “The Top 7 Features of a High Class Movie Theater”!

During tonight’s first hour, charges have been filed in the Higley school bus incident and the girl who demanded to be let off the bus could face up to six months in juvenile detention! Looks like nothing will happen to the driver who wouldn’t let her off! This seems like way too much punishment for the kid and way too little for the driver! Could it be that County Attorney Andrew Thomas sees an opportunity for more publicity here?

At 8, Arizona Spelling Bee champ So-Young Chung joins me live! Are you wondering if I, Gaydos, can out-spell this bright 11-year-old? We’ll find out the answer is—well—no. Sadly, no.

The Piestewa Peak issue is back! The U.S. Board of Geographic Names is set to vote on whether to officially rename the peak after the fallen U.S. soldier! We’re finding that people are still emotional about the issue, even five years after Lori Piestewa’s death! In my opinion, the renaming was always just a political stunt on the part of our governor. I just hope the board will have the good sense to toss it out. We’ll find out what you think at 8:30!

One of the world’s top neurosurgeons says cell phone use is just as dangerous as smoking! That settles it! I’m throwing out my cell! From now on, I will make use of pay phones (thoroughly wiping them down first, of course)! It’s a small price to pay to save myself from a deadly tumor! It’s our 9 o’clock topic!

Sam Donaldson is the crown jewel of the Gaydos After Dark news team and he joins us at 9:30 to discuss Democrats’ dilemma! The fight for Democratic delegates is about to get messy and John McCain must be thrilled about it!

Gaydos After Dark–Thursday, March 27th, 2008

With the Pennsylvania primaries just a few weeks away, Barack Obama jetted off for a vacation getaway! Tonight, we’ve got “The Top 7 Signs Your Favorite Candidate Needs a Vacation”!

Our first topic tonight centers around the death of an 11-year-old girl who suffered from diabetes and was denied treatment because it went against her parents’ religious faith! Their plan was to pray that she would get better! Ask yourselves, ladies and gentlemen, how simple would it have been to just get their child the insulin she needed!? If you think that’s crazy, listen at 8 to hear that these parents think their daughter might still be resurrected!

A teacher at Surprise Charter Academy was found to be in possession of kiddie porn during an investigation last fall! His mom, who happens to be a teacher at the same school, didn’t see fit to tell the administrators! Even the investigators didn’t give the school a heads up! That’s right, for a period of months, this guy continued to work with children! Unbelievable! I don’t know whether to be more furious with the mom or the Feds who worked on the case! We’ll talk about this at 8:30!

In the 9 o’clock hour, we talk the vote! There’s actually a chance that neither Clinton nor Obama will get the Democratic nomination! Amazingly enough, the Super Delegates could be giving Al Gore a call!

At 9:30, it’s time for Presidential Match Game, our Red V. Blue Thursday battle of wits! It’s one Democrat, one Republican and one star-studded panel, including B. Nicks, Hanna Scott and the triumphant return of Jarrett Carlen!

We finish off tonight’s spectacular show with a look at how low Hillary will go to pull out a last minute victory!

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

Gaydos After Dark - Wednesday, March 26, 2008

I bet they never anticipated this kind of complication could come with gender reassignment surgery! We’re bringing you “The Top 7 Advantages to Being a Pregnant Man”!

During our first hour, we revisit the story of Carol Anne Gotbaum, who died after her arrest at Sky Harbor Airport! Her husband Noah Gotbaum is filing a lawsuit, saying Phoenix Police were negligent and excessively forceful with his wife! All along, this woman’s death has looked like a horrible accident to me, but I think Gotbaum hopes this lawsuit will absolve him of his own guilt! Why did he let her fly alone when she was in such desperate condition?!

We’ll also talk about the controversial Vogue cover featuring LeBron James and Gisele Bundchen! Some people are saying LeBron looks like King Kong in the photo! Some are upset with the magazine, but others are more upset with LeBron for posing that way! Take a look at the cover yourself! We’ll have a frank discussion about it during our second hour!

At 9, we’ll hear that Chelsea Clinton was asked for her thoughts on her mother’s image since the world found out about her father’s peccadilloes! As you can imagine, it was a singularly uncomfortable moment! Be sure and join us to hear Chelsea’s response!

9:30 brings us to “The Rated R Issue of the Night”! It’s the mother of all “Rated R Issues”! We’ll delve deeper into the story of the guy from Oregon who says he’s pregnant! Maybe Gaydos should try motherhood! It wouldn’t affect my machismo in the least!

Gaydos After Dark–Tuesday, March 25, 2008

How could they open the 2008 season of our national pastime, Major League Baseball, outside the U.S.A.?! Tonight, we’ll take a look at “The Top 7 Differences About Having Opening Day in Japan”!

In the battle royale that is the race for the White House, there can be only one winner! Or can there??? What about the constitutional loophole that could allow Obama and Clinton to be co-presidents! It could even allow them to serve, as a team, for up to sixteen years! I know it’s hard to believe, but I’ll tell you all about it during our 7 o’clock hour!

At 8 o’clock, listen to this! Studies show that marriages between hot women and ugly men are the happiest! I bet it’s because the guys are honest, sensitive, smart—Haaaa! Nah, I’m teasing! It’s because they’ve got money!!!

It’s no surprise, Hillary Clinton tried to hand us a giant load of crap! She said that she had to dodge sniper fire when she landed in Bosnia, but it’s a well recorded fact that nothing like that happened! She’s playing it off as a mistake, but it’s obvious to me that she lied in order to sound more experienced! We’ll take your calls on this at 9 o’clock!

We also have an update on the case of Sgt. Tom Lovejoy, the police officer who was arrested after accidentally leaving his dog Bandit in a hot car. Sheriff Joe Arpaio is now saying he didn’t make the arrest. Wrapping up tonight’s show, Carolynn Lovejoy tells us he’s just saying that to keep from having to speak to the family’s attorney!

It’s great to have Gaydos on the program!

Gaydos After Dark–Monday, March 24, 2008

We’re living in the nation’s fifth most dangerous state! Personally, I think Arizona can do better than that, so tonight we bring you “The Top 7 Ways Arizona Can Become the Most Dangerous State in the Country”!

Every year, I see tributes to Lori Piestewa, the first woman killed in the Iraq War. However, I can’t help but point out, she’s not the only soldier who died there–not by a long shot! At 7, what I want to know is, why does this family need to draw attention to what should be a private memorial if they choose to hold one each year? I don’t see the families of the rest of the four thousand dead having annual ceremonies with full media coverage.

At 8, a new survey shows that our great state is ranked as the fifth most dangerous state in America! This hour, we’ll ask if you feel safe here and what measures you’re taking to protect yourself!

Our third hour begins with Sheriff Joe’s weekend crime sweep. Among others, he netted an eight-months-pregnant illegal alien! Now, I do think arresting a lady who’s big with child is a bit much, but overall, I think Arpaio’s doing a fantastic job of fighting illegal immigration! I–uh–I hope my hot, sexy, juicy, illegal alien girlfriend doesn’t hear this half hour…

At 9:30, Gaydos talks the vote with ABC newsman Sam Donaldson! We’ll touch on Obama’s dubious associations with certain clergymen, Bill Clinton’s continued botched attempts to help Hillary’s campaign and we’ll ask what things are going to look like when we finally know who will go up against John McCain!

Gaydos After Dark–Friday, March 21, 2008

On this Good Friday, we begin the show with “The Top 7 Signs You’re Going to Have a Bad Easter”!

Barack Obama told an interviewer that his grandmother is a “typical white person,” but what is that supposed to mean? Isn’t that a racist remark? I think if John McCain or Hillary Clinton said someone was a “typical black person,” Al Sharpton would be all over the news, biting their heads off! It’s our first topic on tonight’s Gaydos After Dark!

At 8:30, we’ve got “Up to 20″! You get 20 seconds of our precious airtime to say anything you want! That’s just how I roll!

You’ve seen the YouTube video featuring four Scottsdale punks trashing cars and vending machines! Who do these little weasels think they are?! These boys are lucky Gaydos isn’t their dad (which of course would never happen; Gaydos doesn’t want a wife, doesn’t want kids…)! At 9 o’clock, we find out if the peeps would put up with this kind of crap from their kids!

We’re bringing you ten stories in just ten minutes with “Gaydos on the News”! It happens at 9:30 and we’ll tell you about Playgirl’s offer to Eliot Spitzer and the dangers of standing in line with tired, frustrated Disney fans!

At 9:50, I’ll break down the station NCAA bracket pool! I can’t believe who’s in the lead so far!! For cryin’ out loud!

It’s great to have Gaydos on the program!

Gaydos After Dark–Thursday, March 20, 2008

I’ve got a fever and its name is March Madness! Gaydos After Dark brings you “The Top 7 Signs Your Team is Not Going to Win the NCAA Tournament”!

How far Obama has fallen! He’s now linked to yet another preacher who’s known for making alarming statements and using questionable language! In fact, when you compare this man’s words with those of Don Imus–who Obama criticized last year–it makes Obama look like a huge hypocrite!! We’re all over this topic during our first hour!

At 8, we throw John McCain into the discussion on candidates and the ministers who back them! Pastors Rod Parsley and John Hagee both support McCain when they’re not busy persecuting gays, Muslims and Planned Parenthood! The candidates need these backers from the world of religion like they need leprosy!

At 8:30, you’ve gotta hear about legislation proposed in Massachusetts that would make it a crime to lie to someone to get sex! The charge, ladies and gentlemen, would be nothing less than rape! To me, it sounds outrageous, but I will bring you another side of the story that’ll really make you think about it!

At 9:30, we’re playing Presidential Match Game, asking the peeps with a head for politics to match wits with our all star panel! It happens every Red V. Blue Thursday!

Before the end of the show, we’ll find out once again that what’s good enough for Obama is good enough for the Clintons too! Turns out, Bill and Hillary have spent time with crazy Reverend Jeremiah Wright themselves!

Gaydos After Dark–Wednesday, March 19, 2008

On the fifth anniversary of President Bush’s Shock and Awe campaign, we’ve got “The Top 7 Signs the U.S.A. is Safer After the Invasion of Iraq”!

During our first hour, we bring out the “Gaydos Experiment.” Plus, I’m wondering how you see the Iraq War after all this time. When you think about this war, is it all about the difficult first four years, or is it about the success of the last year?

Looks like the hate-spewing preachers aren’t all in Barack Obama’s corner! At 8, we’ll hear from a minister in Harlem who has no love for Obama! You won’t believe what comes out of this guy’s mouth!

We’ll talk more about our progress in the war at 9 o’clock! CNN military analyst Major General Don Shepherd (Retired) gives us some insight into what our future in Iraq (or out of it) will be!

Before 9:30, we find out that V.P. Dick Cheney doesn’t care what you think about Iraq! Is this par for the course with this administration? Or is Cheney just a crotchety old man?

We’ll touch on Hillary’s experience –or lack thereof!–at 9:40! Also, her just-released schedule from her days in the White House reveals that the Lewinsky affair was happening right under Hillary’s nose!

Closing out the show is a slip-up John McCain made in Iraq! We here at Gaydos After Dark are chalking it up to a senior moment!

Gaydos After Dark–Tuesday, March 18, 2008

You think your H.O.A. gets testy if you paint your mailbox the wrong color? Imagine if your buddies painted a giant phallic symbol on the roof of your house! Tonight we’ve got “The Top 7 Other Ways to Offend Your Neighbors”!

Barack Obama addressed the issue of race today! Will it help his fragile image since his pastor’s comments came to light? We’ll find out what you think during this abbreviated edition of Gaydos After Dark!

We turn it over to ASU Basketball at 7:30 and return for a full show tomorrow night!

Gaydos After Dark–Monday, March 17, 2008

Hope you remembered to wear your green today! We’ll find out if the nation’s political leaders did with “The Top 7 Ways People in the Government are Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day”!

During our 7 o’clock hour, we’re once again talking about the economy! President Bush continues to stay away from the word “recession,” even though a lot of knowledgeable people say we are in one! We find out how you’re faring in the current economic climate and how assessments of the situation differ between Republicans and Democrats!

At 8, a Scottsdale bouncer knocks a partier out cold over the weekend and I’m glad! It was just one more weekend night out, in danger of being ruined by the stupid drunk guy who’s looking for trouble! This guy deserved it!

We’ll revisit concerns about Obama’s former minister just before 9! New allegations say Obama sat in the pews and nodded when Reverend Jeremiah Wright made some very shocking statements!

Starting off our last hour, everyone knows Valley emergency rooms are jammed with illegal aliens and that something has to be done about it! But sending a woman back to Mexico immediately after spinal surgery is too much!

At 9:30, we’re talking the vote with the crown jewel of the Gaydos After Dark political team, Sam Donaldson!

It’s a good thing you always stick with Gaydos 7 to 10, 7 to 10, 7 to 10–because we round out tonight’s show with the dirt you didn’t get when New Jersey Governor James McGreevy first resigned after revelations of a homosexual affair!
