Who was David Starr and why is his passing significant to the show?
What did I wear my first day as an intern? All right, now you're being a dick.
I do want to take the opportunity to say we had an original production director over at 790, David Starr, and I found out last week that he passed away. So thoughts and prayers to his family. I'm sorry to bring the vibes down, but 790 holds a special place in our heart, and Dave Starr was a big part of that station.
I did not know that. I am learning that now. I texted you. I texted you and Sugatz. I texted you and Sugatz. That's bad ball.
Marty Schottenheimer, too. Whoa. Whoa. I thought it was big enough news to let you guys know personally. And I thought it was weird that neither you or Sugatz responded to that. I guess you guys weren't big Dave Starr guys. Yep.
I don't think you can really start a sentence where everyone's laughing, saying not to bring down the vibes, but someone you know died. And you're informing me of that because I didn't see it on the text.
I was waiting for an organic place. While we were laughing? Well, he mentioned 790. That was organic. A door opened for him. You've got to walk through it. You guys are talking about Tyrese Halliburton. I'm like, Dan, David Starr died.
And we never talk about 790, so that was our one opportunity. The window was so shut.
Zaz, how are you feeling about the David Starr news story?
Yeah, I was a little bit bummed when I saw it a few days ago.
Yeah, I was really bummed. I was actually texting with Hawk.
He was a nice guy.
I was texting with Hawk about it. He was a nice guy. He loved his son. There was a promo when we first got the Dolphins. It was highly inappropriate that he made it. What was it? David Starr would always do this thing where he would want a pop culture reference in the middle of it, no matter what. So there's a disembodied voice celebrating the Dolphins partnership going, excuse me while I whip this out. And it was not Hawk's job at the time. It certainly wasn't mine, and we had that pulled because it was so inappropriate.
Did you hear the Todd Castleberry news?
No.
Live and well.
Oh, that's tremendous. Dan, did you hear that one?
I was going to make a joke.
Whoa, you stumbled onto another wild Billy Wednesday. Hold on to your hats, partners. It's about to get wild. I've worked for 15 years with Billy Gill, and he has never said what he came in here today and said to me boldly. Just not in any way fearful, emboldened, I think, by the fact that Amin came in screaming at me, yelling. Remember, Dan, when you thought the Thunder were done after game one? And also he did. And he also threw in what's this moment you keep talking about? Like everyone's a little stronger on Wednesdays. But Billy said to me after yesterday's show, it wasn't good morning. It was you were an asshole yesterday to Chris and his father.
I said kind of.
Okay, that softens it. But you've never called me an asshole to my face before.
I didn't say you were one. I said you kind of acted like one.
Exhibited the behaviors of an asshole.
Yeah, that doesn't mean you are one.
Chris, did you feel that way? You know, like I said yesterday, I feel nothing anymore. But I did receive a lot of texts yesterday. Really?
Of people just being like, you good, man?
It was rough.
What's going on there? Wasn't a fan of it.
See, I struggle with this now that I've been in here more. I try and... I'm still trying to understand what's really happening feelings-wise. Are feelings getting hurt? Is it performative? I'm still struggling with the line between what's real and what's not. And you don't want to bite the hand that feeds.
What humorous moments and running jokes appear in this episode?
shadow show shadow show shadow show shadow show shadow show shadow show shadow in it shadow in it i should probably ask billy this question directly but i'm afraid to talk to him now that he's got this empowering wednesday uh and it's uh gone to his head a little bit But I will ask the rest of you, instead of Billy, because I don't want to look him in the eye.
15.
Is it more or less than 15 years? 15 sounds about right.
Before including internship?
I think 15 is about right. Billy, do you have an exact number?
Is the prices right?
I just, do you know is what I'm saying.
Yeah, it started in 2010, so 15 years. All right, wow, they all got it.
I have an excellent memory, anything 790 related. Really?
