You're listening to Nick Depalo on the Riotcast Network, riotcast.com.

Yo yeah! Welcome to the Nick Depalo Radio Show. I almost said podcast. That's how you know I've made the climb.

But in my basement for the last three years, like a little kid doing a ham radio show with a wife yelling down stairs. You can't say that!

You're gonna get us kicked out of here. I'm like it's our house for Christ's sake. Relax. How are you folks?

The Nick Depalo Radio Show, the big premiere. Say hello to my producer. Andy Fiori. Andy Flowers.

Oh look who learned my name. Yes, I've been calling. I put them in. I did a week in October. Right before the election. I did a week of shows. Andy was the producer.

I put his name in as Danny into my contacts and I've been looking at it. And I've called him Danny about 11 times before he had the nerve to go, what the fuck is your problem though?

And I said I'm in my late 60s, right? So and let me clear this up for you people who are big. I know Bonfire fans and Larry the cable guy. I did not steal Andy Fiori. I did a week. I didn't remember his name. Like I said, I put Danny in my computer.

And they said, who do you want us to produce? I go, how about the hairy fucking crazy Italian? Because I work with the hippie. I want him. And they said they said Danny Flowers. I go, that's the guy.

Perfect. And that's why he's here. So you guys that are pissed off on Twitter already. Please get lives. We are Jesus H. The fucking ISIS is about to hit us in five minutes. You're upset that I stole a radio producer.

And then we have another producer over here. What are we doing? The rockets for crazy? We get Brendan. We got Brendan in the back. Which makes me feel good. Brendan's like a millennial guy. You know, I was throwing a few racial bombs around before the show.

And he almost broke into tears. I said, you know who you work with. No, I clear with him. I said, you know, Nick is right. Did he know he's a big fan? Is he really? Yeah. Oh, yeah, big fan. Big fan. I can tell. I said, TIT. He almost passed out.

But I took a Zing Adam. He got all quiet. I'm like, I'm just fucking around. I do come on. I make shitty first impressions. You know, but that's that's how it goes. I always thought I get by my looks and my money. That's why I'm in radio. Look at I have TV monitors surrounding me. This Trump getting somebody just threw a peach at his head.

So this show, I don't know what it's going to be folks. I really don't. Maybe you can tell me people think it's going to be all political and shit. And which it's not. But you know how I stand politically and should be a breath of fresh air.

But you know, it's a weird time of living in. But maybe you guys let me know it's going to be it'll be more cultural than political. What do you mean by cultural?

Well, you know, a story like when they tearing down statues of Confederate soldiers and and that type of that type of stuff. You all right over there, Andy? Yes, I'm fine. He's playing with the equipment already. It's a new studio. So I'm trying to get my bearing straight. I know. This is a I'm sitting in Ron Bennington's chair. We're on the air. So I'm happy. Yeah. Absolutely. First step. That's right. Andy was the bonfire premiere where they they had dead air for at 22 minutes. And I said, that's the guy for me.

Why are you still working here? That was Lou. Oh, you're blaming Lou Witsky. I will not blame what for anything. By the way, the guy I call him up. I hear myself on satellite radio on my car at night. They're playing like a clip from just for laughs. And I'm bombing miserably. I call Lou Witsky. I go, I go burn that shit. Get that file. I have ran somewhere. Can we? And and you know what? I haven't heard it since. And he's been my man since. If I hear a bit bombing on satellite radio, I call the Witsky. And he's been

like, he's like, you know, he fixes it. Yeah. The guy in pop pictures. He's the wolf. The wolf. But you guys let me know what you want to hear here. 866 966 9 1969 866 9 1969.

1969 is the number we got on the second hour of the show. Top of the hour we have Mark Norman coming in. Well, I think it's funny as hell. Great. He does politically incorrect stuff. He does a little more.

A little more subtlety than I do. He doesn't drop in the seaworth in the J in a K. He just he points out the differences and how why he hates feminism. And but he doesn't much nicer. It sounds much nicer and Italian. Yeah. So he's coming at the top of the hour, a second hour.

And what the hell else that I want to talk about? Oh, Jesus. This weekend I was Andy's your stand up. Andy, right? Andy? I'm talking to you for Christ's sake. Focus. Where you?

I'm getting messages from the booth. Are you really? Yeah. Do they do they have my Mickey Dolan's a lined up? I was in not the brag. I was at Windsor locks, Connecticut this weekend.
