Gaydos After Dark–Wednesday, August 6, 2008

You may not believe it, but I think we’re finding out that Paris Hilton is smarter than our Congress when it comes to energy policy. Be afraid, America. Be very afraid. We’ll talk about it at 7 o’clock.

Don’t miss Sheriff Joe Arpaio at 7:30. He’s here to thank the Gaydos Peeps for their help in our Pennies for the Posse campaign and to talk about the stealthy operations of the M.C.S.O..

We’re talking about marriage and pregnancy during our second hour and I want you to weigh in on another Gaydos After Dark poll…

Should a couple get married just because of an unplanned pregnancy?

There’s a new fan code of conduct at NFL games this year and we’re going to have to talk about this at 9 o’clock. What’s the point of going to a game at all if there’s no fun allowed?

After 9:30, I’ll tell you about a scary movie from my childhood that I happened to see again recently. It still freaks me out to this day, so I’m a little surprised to find out that kids are watching the scary stuff at younger and younger ages. Hanna Scott will join me and we’ll find out if she lets little Stephanie watch the horror flicks!

Gaydos After Dark–Tuesday, August 5, 2008

It’s great to have Gaydos on the program and we’re starting off tonight’s show on the subject of Operation Scheduled Departure. That’s the program—and by that, I mean joke—in which illegal aliens turn themselves in and schedule a date to be sent home. I’m sure that’s going to work really well—and by that, I mean there’s zero chance of this working.

Stop me if you’ve heard this one, but Nancy Pelosi is not taking care of you when it comes to the U.S. gas supply. Some Democratic representatives are warming up to the idea of drilling here at home. However, Pelosi seems to be wheeling and dealing to keep you from wheeling around more cheaply on domestic oil. We’ll tell you about this at 8:30.

At 8 o’clock, Mary Winkler admitted to killing her husband and now, after only two years, she’s a free woman and has custody of her kids. That’s not smart and it’s not safe! Somebody else should raise the Winkler kids and I’ll tell you who I think should do it.

At 9, did McCain suggest that his wife Cindy go topless at a biker gathering?

Then, at 9:20, we’ll check out Paris Hilton’s foray into political leadership! Click the photo to see her big campaign ad.

After the news at 9:30, I’ve gotta get back to the completely useless Operation Scheduled Departure. I still can’t figure out why they think any illegal would voluntarily give up what they have here in the U.S..

Gaydos After Dark–Monday, August 4, 2008

At 7 o’clock, this guy kills a 7-11 clerk and brings his kids along! See the video here.

We’ll also talk about a kid who shot his mom because he didn’t want to do his chores—and a teenager who convinces us, once and for all, that stupid teens should never have kids. As we finish up tonight’s first hour, there’s one more story of family dysfunction that would be funny if it weren’t so horribly negligent.

8 o’clock brings us to a couple of the biggest disasters of our day: the energy crisis and the U.S. Congress. Just as the House was getting around to voting on a new energy bill, Speaker Nancy Pelosi decided to close up shop! That’s not what I call working for the American people! President Bush could force them to get back to the job at hand; I’ll tell you about that too.

Starting off our final hour, a company is getting rid of a recognized American holiday to make room for a Muslim holy day. I can’t tell you how sick I am of us pandering to Muslims when they should be adjusting to our way of life.

Barack Obama got a big bounce in popularity after his recent world tour and then immediately lost ground in the face of John McCain’s negative campaign ads. Just before we wrap up at 10, I’ll tell you what Obama’s gotta do to get back on top.

Gaydos After Dark–Tuesday, July 29, 2008

As we open tonight’s show, the second leg of my summer vacation is about to fall apart right before my eyes. My family has decided—without even asking for my thoughts on the matter—to fly into Phoenix to spend my vacation with me. My downtime…is ruined. What am I going to do?

Fifteen-year-old Miley Cyrus may become a spokesperson for a condom brand. That’s our 8 o’clock topic and I wonder if a minor should be advertising condoms. Maybe she’s the right person to reach out to teens about safe sex. Hanna Scott’s a mom; we’ll find out what she thinks of this too!

At 8:30, we’re talking to Mark Manoil, chairman of the Maricopa County Democratic Party. He’s created JoesGotToGo.com, a site that questions the methods of our tough-as-nails sheriff, Joe Arpaio. I don’t have to tell you, Manoil’s not the only one with words of criticism for the sheriff. We’ll hear the latest slam from Mayor Gordon at 8:50.

I have a new cell phone for the first time in a long time and I must admit, I’m struggling to figure out how to use it. Once I have all the kinks ironed out, I’ll want to pick a great ring tone. One that just screams Gaydos! We’ll talk about it at 9 o’clock.

9:30 brings us to the big ticket to romance for married guys: housework! It’s a good thing you women out there would never abuse your power in that department. Or would you?

Last, I’m going to tell you about a kid in Florida who, without parental permission, refused to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. You won’t want to miss it.

It’s great to have Gaydos on the program!

Gaydos After Dark–Monday, July 28, 2008

People are breathing a little easier as gas prices drop a few cents, but don’t—I repeat: don’t—get too comfortable. At 7 o’clock, I’ll tell you why the high prices have been good for us.

At 7:30, we’re talking the vote. If J-Mac’s a smart guy, he’ll go ahead and choose a V.P. now.

At 8 o’clock, over half of all women in the workplace have a baby under a year old at home, so companies are allowing moms to bring newborns to work with them. Screaming kids at work…diapers at work…this will be nothing but a headache for everyone involved!

Keith Woody is a lineman on his high school football team. He’s also deaf. In an already-dangerous sport, doesn’t this disability increase the danger to this kid and his fellow players? We’ll find out what you think at 8:45.

Starting off our third big hour, I’ll talk to Sam Donaldson, the crown jewel of the Gaydos After Dark political team. We’ll discuss Obama’s trip abroad and how McCain has been spending his summer.

Then, we’ll tell you whether you qualify for aid available through the new 300-billion-dollar housing bailout package, as well how to sign up if you do. That all starts at 9:20.

Oh, how far ASU has fallen. They’re only number seventeen on the list of top party schools in the U.S.. Where is their pride?

Gaydos After Dark–Friday, July 25, 2008

Responsible, smart people shouldn’t pay for the mistakes of irresponsible, stupid people—but that’s just what this mortgage bailout bill forces us to do. We’ll talk about how this ridiculous deal will go down—and how much it will cost you and me—at 7 o’clock.

Airline safety is a major concern at 7:30 after a jet landed with a gigantic hole in its fuselage today! I’ll ask aviation expert Jim Tillman if we should expect more of this as airlines hack away at their budgets.

Doesn’t Barack Obama care about U.S. soldiers recovering in a German medical facility? Obama’s camp says the Pentagon wouldn’t allow him to visit the troops. We’ll try to separate the truth from the fiction during tonight’s second hour.

You won’t want to miss the story of a dying child who hung on long enough to marry his sweetheart. We’ll tell you about his bittersweet goodbye at 8:30.

President Bush is often compared to other well-known figures but, at 9 o’clock, we’ll tell you what our president has in common with the Dark Knight!

At 9:30, it’s ten big stories in ten minutes; it’s “Gaydos on the News,” in which we’ll discover that aliens are among us and judges are starting to crack down on parents who give their kids weird names.

Gaydos After Dark–Thursday, July 24, 2008

Starting off tonight’s Gaydos After Dark, we bring you breaking news as three people are shot at South Mountain Community College! Reporters Sandra Haros and Bob McClay give us the details!

It seems that Barack Obama can do no wrong on his overseas tour! Meanwhile, here at home, John McCain is in a panic that he’s losing ground to the Democratic candidate! We’l talk about it at 7:30!

At 8, a jilted woman sues her ex for leaving her—and wins! This could happen to you! I’m certainly a hit with the ladies—it could happen to me, too! Sounds like the guy was a jerk, but you won’t believe the chunk of money she was awarded! Maybe she sued because he broke it off by way of a post-it note!

Congress has passed a 300-billion-dollar housing bailout package! I don’t like it and neither do you, according to statistics! At 9 o’clock, we’ll discuss how the U.S. Congress continues to botch this sort of thing and what the heck happened to the veto George W. Bush promised us!

9:30 brings us to Eleanor Clift of Newsweek and The McLaughlin Report! We’ll talk about which candidate can represent us best on the world stage, which one we trust to get the economy back on track—and what’s with the rumors of infidelity surrounding John Edwards?

Neighbors of a woman in Mesa are ticked off about the portable toilet in her front yard! She says it’s there for her party guests to use and that’s why you won’t see Gaydos at any of her weekend barbecues!

Gaydos After Dark–Monday, July 21, 2008

At 7 o’clock, Gaydos is back from vacation and I think I’ve come back as a new man! After spending some quality time with my little niece Ellie, I’m rethinking the whole fatherhood thing. I don’t know if I’d want a wife, but I totally fell in love with having a kid around! Click the pic of Ellie and Uncle Gaydos to see my whole vacation slide show!

I also just had to hit Yankee Stadium one last time during my week off! Unfortunately, everything is pretty much nailed down, so I couldn’t swipe a single souvenir!

John McCain doesn’t know how to use the Internet, which makes me wonder if he’s completely out of touch with people like you and me! It’s our 7:30 topic.

Congress is springing into action and they’ll soon have us paying more—yes, I said more!!—for gasoline! They actually want to add ten cents to our fuel taxes! Good! At 8 o’clock, I hope they do it, so they can all be voted out!

Next, I could not believe what I saw on my flight home! A mom used her sleeping three-year-old as a changing table for her baby!

Starting out tonight’s final hour, would someone please memo Phil Gordon and let him know that I’m not looking forward to slot machines at Sky Harbor Airport? If the mayor puts the one-armed bandits in place, they won’t just be annoying—they’ll also make us look incredibly desperate for cash!

The world stands up and takes notice when Obama visits the Middle East but, apparently, John McCain becomes invisible when he goes to Iraq! I’ll check in with ABC news man Sam Donaldson on this seeming inconsistency after 9:30!

Last up tonight, I’ve gotta tell you, I’m hearing that the late Heath Ledger is menacing as the Joker in the new Batman movie! If he’s that bad, I may not be able to go see it! I was even terrified of the original Joker on the old t.v. series! I’m actually getting shivers just thinking about him! Bleah!

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

Gaydos After Dark–Friday, July 11, 2008

As we start tonight’s show, we’ll hear from one of the men claiming sexual harassment went on at The Cheesecake Factory. I have to say, something isn’t right about this! An attack like the ones we’re hearing about could happen to a guy. Once! I just can’t believe a guy would allow this to happen twelve times!

U.S. legislators are proving once again that they’re clueless on the foreclosure crisis! I’ll tell you what’s wrong with what they did today! It’s Gaydosnomics 101 at 7:30!

At 8 o’clock, what on earth is going through everyone’s heads these days? A guy names his kid after a radio show for a gas card. A woman profits from picking Dr. Pepper (the company!) as her bridesmaid! What a nation of sellouts!

Airlines are slashing flight perks to the bare bones! They may even get rid of flight attendants! Well, think about it! No peanuts or colas or blankets to bring since they’ve cut those out; maybe we don’t need them anymore! And, maybe that’ll get the prices down! We’ll discuss this at 8:30!

At 9:30, we’ve got “Gaydos on the News”! Even when everyone is in dire economic straits, people are chomping at the bit to get the newest version of the iPhone! Plus, a Canadian woman loses custody of her kids after sending her daughter to school with a swastika drawn on her skin!

It’s vacation time for Gaydos and I’m taking off for parts unknown! I’ll be back in a week, 7 to 10, 7 to 10, 7 to 10! That’s how I roll!!!
