Studies show that 100% of everybody in the world
wants to curl up in doors and do nothing
because it's so darn cold out there.
That's why many people are turning to Bombas,
whose pillowy plush slippers and warm arena wool socks
have been said to be the most comfortable in the history of feet.
Bombas products have been found to boost cosiness
by up to 1 million percent.
Okay, enough fake statistics, but could Bomba socks and slippers

Hey, there ain't no power to decide it's something.
Welcome back guys, D-G-S-U-N-K-M-W-A-X,
few in his past 4 p.m.
Our buddy Tony Scott is with us from down the hall.
Hey man.
Can I embarrass you wheels until him what you said earlier today?
Yeah, I think I embarrassed me at all.
We were, we were just talking and wheels said,
you know what?
He said, one of the coolest parts of this job is
I get to hang out with Tony Scott.
Okay, cool.
You can't see it in the hallway.
We get to talk all the time.
Usually it's in the starting in the Benz Room and then it moves out.
And now it starts in the Benz Room, right?
But you don't look down.
You never look down.
Eyes are kind of look up, you know, you look at the ceiling.
It starts with talking and then at least in my experience.
Yeah, eyes up and then every one of you got to,
then we got to leave the room in an appropriate amount of time.
You ever had a looker next to you?
Oh, a peeker?
Like in a blues game or something?
Yeah, I mean, I kind of give you this sneak thing like that.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
See what's going on.
Yeah, they're definitely.
There are, there are peekers.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm a big fan of those.
It's weird, isn't it?
Because as guys were used to it, were used to, you know,
going in urinals and stuff.
But it's always, I can tell the ladies that when, no matter where you're at,
whether it's at Odyssey or to the blues game or the Cardinals,
at least for me, that 30, 60 seconds you're doing your business is always tense.
It's just a little bit tense.
If someone's next to you and you don't know them, yes, if you don't know them,
do not say a word.
Yeah.
You know, you know somebody, you can just go straight.
It's not the time to make introductions.
No, no, that's not the time to be like, oh, it's a nice day out there.
And the guys, the guys will vouch for me, especially at a blues game.
Anytime you're in the bathroom, there's this guy.
Oh, damn it.
What the hell's wrong?
It's like screaming and talking to his little man.
Yeah, every time.
Well, you know, every, every sporting event, concert, you name it,
there's always that guy.
Yeah.
One guy walked in.
I forget where I was.
I was at hockey game, probably a blues game.
I was at a hockey game and I walked in there and I'm just, you know, normal.
Everybody's normal.
There's, you know, people moving in and out.
And one guy walks in loud and he's like, oh, my God.
Somebody in here never did jail time.
I heard of a courtesy flash.
And we're all like bros.
One of the first games I took Nick to, the first game I took him to was
when McGuire hit the big home run.
And we were leaving early because it was chaos.
And there's salad trucks everywhere and fireworks.
The crowd's still going nuts and we're kind of walking down, you know,
the road to our car.
And Nick was three.
And looks at me and he goes, that is every game like this.
Oh.
Yes, yes it is.
But one of the, one of the next games I took him to was in Bush and it was the Cubs.
And we went to the bathroom and there was a guy laying there bleeding.
Oh no.
Because of a fight.
Oh no.
And same kind of thing.
Nick's like, are all bathrooms like this?
Usually very little blood.
I was at a MC Hammer concert at the arena.
And he came out.
He was doing this thing.
He was a little kid.
He was so excited, man.
I don't know if he was his first concert, but he was, he was dancing.
He was doing the running man.
He was doing the hammer thing.
The hammer dancing.
Doing everything, man.
And so this older guy.
But he goes, stop.
Yeah.
Hammer time.
This older guy like grabbed him and put him in the chair and says, don't get up from that chair.
And he went in with him, right?
Wow.
So one of my co-workers was sitting near me and he saw that.
He got up and he walked toward that guy.
And I turned around because I didn't want to see it because I knew it was about to happen.
The guy didn't see the rest of the concert.
Wow.
He went, he went sleepy time.
Right?
I was like, well, you know, it happens.
Yeah.
So I was always taught when something pops off at school, you know, mall out in front of our building.
You go the other way.
Right?
And I told my girls, I told my girls all the time.
I said, you'll find out what happened eventually.
So just go the other way.
Yeah.
You know, there's nothing there for you to see.
So just go the other way.
So, and they've always remembered that.
So.
Yeah.
My, my daughter Phoebe who just turned 23 on Wednesday.
It's nice her shot party.
21.
Okay.
21.
21.
And she aged two years since one month.
She's five foot even.
Wow.
About 115 pounds.
Yeah.
And last year, a six foot five guy touched her friend and Phoebe jumped up in the air and
bloody his nose.
Wow.
And I told her, I'm like half of me is very proud.
Half of you is going.
Half of me is very scared.
Yeah.
Half of me is very scared.
Yeah.
And I told her, I'm like, not every six foot five guys going to take that and walk away.
No.
So not even close.
When was the last time you got in a fight?
Where hands were thrown.
Yeah.
I probably had, because, okay, growing up where I did, how I did.
And it wasn't like in the Bowery or something, but we fought all the time.
Yeah.
And the recesses, all you did was you went in the field.
It was just like a wrestle royal.
So it was childhood.
Yeah.
But like a real fight.
When I was in law school, I was walking up Lindel.
And I got jumped by two guys.
Only time I left, I've ever been jumped.
And I was wearing, I don't know if you know what speed bag gloves are.
But they have a metal cylinder in them.
And I was wearing those because it was cold.
And one guy was holding my arms down.
And I was trying so hard to get my arms loose that he slipped.
And my arm was like a catapult.
Wow.
And hit him right in the nose.
Contact.
And they both took off.
And I took off.
Yeah.
But I've probably been in three actual scraps in my life.
Yeah.
They're scary, man.
They are.
You know, and then as you get older, you realize you don't have to, you don't have the cat lock reflexes you thought you had.
And you were younger because you didn't have them then you just didn't acknowledge it.
Now you acknowledge it's like, yeah, no, I'm alright.
I'm good.
No, like I famously two years ago challenged Phoebe's then boyfriend, 17 year old track guy to a race on the beach.
And I'm not lying to you.
I was so delusional that I would have bet $10,000.
That'd be it.
Yeah.
And he beat me by a couple steps.
I think you took it easy on me, even at that.
But I was crestfallen because I for the very first time came to terms with my age.
I really believed I was still that same guy.
No.
No, you're not.
And then playing baseball last year.
Yeah.
Same thing.
Yeah.
Like I'm fit enough to play baseball, but I'm not fit enough to play it well.
Well, you know, but since you were built for radio though.
Yeah.
Maybe so.
Maybe so.
I'm like, you mentioned, I'm the phanta of radio personalities.
I mentioned that earlier.
I heard you talking about that.
So it's like, yeah, okay.
Were you an athlete when you're a kid?
I was, I played, I played, I love baseball.
And I played a lot of baseball in the summertime.
When school was out, I would be at the baseball fields from 830 until like seven o'clock at night.
I mean, nose was bleeding from too much sun.
And I was still out there and stuff like that.
I played a little league baseball.
I played one year.
They called it pony league.
I was with 13 year old.
I remember pony league.
13 year old.
That's when you got to wear the steel cleats, right?
Yeah.
And I did that.
But, but I had in middle school, I had, well, I had two eye injuries in my life.
One, my cousin one time, we were little.
And he was hammering his sister's little 10 cup coffee cup that she had because they were mad.
And I got too close for him.
He reached back with the hammer and the claw got me in the eye.
Damn.
Right?
And then in the seventh grade, we were playing flag football.
And I collided with Stacy Gonzalez, this guy.
And they had to sew my eyelid back on.
So, so for a long time, light hurt my eye.
It eventually went away, but my vision's never been the same.
And when I turned 40, a couple years ago, my vision changed and I asked my doctor, he goes,
yeah, he goes around 40, your vision starts to change.
And now, man, I got these tri-focals.
And when I'm in the studios, I'm trying to get the right levels up.
You know, just like, yeah.
So, you know, but, yeah, it's, that's a, but being an athlete, I mean, I love baseball.
And I thought I was pretty good at it.
I know when I was in a freshman in high school, they wanted me to try out for the varsity team.
And I said, no, I want to chase girls.
So, that's what I did.
What else are we into?
Were you a musician?
I was not a musician.
I was very shy.
I stuttered some.
And I was always amazed listening to the radio on how the DJs could paint pictures with words that always intrigued me.
That's cool.
But I was too shy to ever pursue anything.
College was not really a reality.
We were told growing up, if you finished high school, you got it made, man.
You're going to be set for life.
You're going to be set for life, man, you know?
And come to find out, that wasn't true.
So, I finally got up the nerve one time to call Columbia School of Broadcasting.
Not approved by veterans.
You know, not approved for veterans.
Not approved for veterans.
Not approved for CBS.
That's what they would say.
629-1711.
Still remember the number, right?
And it was a year and a half program.
I finished it in nine months.
And I started my radio career in 1982.
And here we are.
I'm still still standing.
That's great.
You know?
So joke in this world.
Yeah.
Oh my God, no.
Yeah.
Geez.
Can you imagine?
Yeah.
So it's always something new every day.
Like now, they've made adjustments to my show trying to get more music in there.
We play a lot of music.
They want to get one more song and unlike fine.
If I got to pay by the word, yeah, we removed some furniture up in here.
But, you know, but whatever you want to do, right?
But I've always been intrigued about how these kinds of shows are done.
These spoken word shows because, you know, if you ain't got it that day,
you can go to figure it out because you ain't got no music to lean on.
See, I got music to lean on, right?
Have you never done it?
I've never, I did talk radio when 1600 was, was talk for a minute.
They asked me to fill in one time.
And then when I got done, they said, any two hours you want you can have.
And you can sell your own time to keep the money.
Well, I did it for the experience.
I didn't sell anything because I'm not a salesperson in that sense.
But I did it and I thought it was fine.
And we didn't have any commercials.
So I'd have to talk for like 59 minutes until
the national news came on and we broke for news and stuff.
But then it came right back and it was only a two hour show.
So I had to do that twice.
What were you talking about?
Talked about a lot of political stuff, a lot of pop culture stuff.
Talked about my dad a lot because my dad was having some health problems at the time.
So talked about that.
And just, you know, whatever the news of the day was, we were taught in broadcasting
when I was coming up.
You don't talk about, you don't go one side or the other.
Right?
But that changed.
That changed.
Yeah, it changed.
Right.
And so now I, you know, everybody knows how I feel, like everybody knows how you feel and everything.
And I tend to swing very hard when I do my breaks because they're short.
They need to be impactful.
So I tend to call it out as I see it.
But my listeners have known me for so long.
I had a guy today who's since been, I've been listening to you for like,
you know, over 35 years.
Right?
I said, so when you listen to me, you didn't have the gray you have.
You go, no, I couldn't even grow this, man.
So I've been doing it like, you know, a long time and stuff, mostly in St. Louis.
And, you know, it's been so much.
But to talk stations, though, have groupies?
They used to.
I always say I got to be a star for about 10 or 15 years.
Okay.
And then none of us are.
Right?
Everyone's watching their neighbors make waffles on TikTok.
Yeah.
But yeah, for a while there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Does it like what you were just saying?
To what extent have you realized and internalized how important you are to so many people that
they have a relationship with you that you don't even know about?
Yeah.
But Tony is their pal.
You know what?
I never think about it because I think if I thought about it, I might feel a certain way
about it because, you know, our business is 90% ego.
And I don't think about it as much.
But when people say that, I'm appreciative of it.
But I try and stay grounded.
And I try to stay relatable.
And I tell people, you know, I've talked about my depression.
I've talked about my father dying.
I've talked about my children being born.
I've talked about my grandchildren being born.
I've talked about me having COVID.
I've talked about having really tough mental health days, stuff like that.
To be relatable to my listeners.
So they know that I'm just like them.
Yeah.
And there are some things that my wife says, can you not talk about this?
I'm like, yeah.
You know, I can do that.
And so I don't.
I honor her because she's everything to me.
And I wouldn't even have this career for one for her.
You know, I'd have come off the rails a long time ago because of my mental issues.
Right?
I'd have come off the rail.
But she's always been my support.
And she's always telling me you can do this.
And, you know, now they're looking at it now.
And you're years away from where I am now.
But for all intents and purposes, this is my last radio job.
Right?
Because no one's going to hire anybody my age at a radio station anymore.
Right?
It's just not going to happen.
You know, so I try and take everything and stride.
And I have a wonderful boss, Talis.
I like Alice.
Yeah.
But there were times, you know, when I worked in magic, you know, towards the end,
it was a very hard place to work because it got to be so toxic.
And they had people making decisions that didn't know what they were doing.
And sometimes I would point it out and they get mad.
And, you know, and I had one boss.
He told me because I was telling him something that he was doing that was wrong.
And he was telling me, why do you think you can talk to me like this?
I said, well, I can because I've been here a long time and I have some equity here.
Right?
But too is your mistaking my passion for anger.
Right?
You think I'm mad.
I'm not mad.
I said, this radio station has given me a life I never would have had.
So I'm very protective of it.
Yeah.
Right?
To what extent?
Because you have objectively empirically had beyond a Hall of Fame career.
If you stop today, to what degree are you satisfied?
You're never satisfied.
You're always looking for the perfect show.
But you never get there.
You'll never have a perfect show because it's no such thing.
But you want to get as close as you can to it.
Right?
And that's something that I strive for every day.
Right?
And I'm hard on myself.
And I hate hearing my voice.
And I like to make fun of myself.
And it's just, it's just.
I like the point now was, you know what?
I'm just going to enjoy the ride.
And I'm more comfortable in my skin now that I've ever been in my life.
And so I'm just going to say what I want to say without the station losing sponsors or the license.
If you had to put aside modesty and you had to answer the question, Tony Scott is really good at.
Radio.
I mean, what about radio?
What is your gift in radio?
Storytelling.
Storytelling is always been.
When I went to interview for a job in Dallas after I got laid off from magic.
We were at the palm in Dallas.
The owner was there.
And he was like, they told me that you're a great storyteller, Tony, you know.
And so he was asking me some stuff.
And I would answer the questions.
And then after about 30 minutes, he goes, you know, they're right.
You are a great storyteller.
And when they hired me, they said they hired me.
Because they wanted a different kind of show.
They wanted someone who could do a lot of content, but still play 11 songs an hour.
Which is the standard, right?
Radio.
11 songs is gold.
And they wanted somebody who could do that.
And I could do that because I would use the intros of songs and the outros of songs.
And be as brief as I had to be and fit within the parameters of what they wanted.
And so I was able to do that.
And was successful until I wasn't.
And when they said, we're going to have to lay off because, you know, we're down revenues down.
And, you know, last one in first one out.
So that's how that turned out for me.
Yeah.
But, like I said, I've always been intrigued by what you guys do.
You know, I listen every day coming to work at one o'clock.
I leave at one o'clock on purpose so that I can listen on the way in for 30, 35 minutes and stuff.
It's about the biggest compliment we've ever had.
Like me happy.
Right?
Well, I'm also makes me nervous and I don't even know he's listening.
Thank you, buddy.
We love you down here.
I love you too, man.
Thank you so much.

Literally one minute because we had the legend Tony Scott in and you want to milk as much time as you can.
Who's got one minute worth of something interesting?
Got flashback Friday.
There you go.
190 years ago in 1863, the Alamo fell after a 13-day siege by Mexican forces.
I was kind of obsessed with the Alamo as a kid.
Yeah, there's something about that story.
Yeah, I remember watching in Peewee's big adventure to remember the Alamo.
And this is Peewe left.
I did.
And 130 years ago in 1896, a guy named Charles Brady King drove the first car on the streets of Detroit.
That must have been something.
It would be a heck of a thing, huh?
People were probably like, what are you doing?
Where's the horse?
Yeah, exactly.
Get this piece of junk out of the street.
I'm trying to ride my horse, man.
