Personality Name & Picture
Personality Bio
-
Maybe you know me as the cohost of the Billy D'Ettorre/Brother Wease Music Show here on 95.1 The Fox, but I've been associated with Wease and his show for many years (it's getting close to two decades now). My positions over that time have included intern, phone screener, producer, and listener who is sort of the show historian (the guy who remembers everything that Wease has forgotten about himself). It's that, plus all the other odd pop culture information trapped in my brain, that has brought me back where I belong.... as a full time member of The Wease Show. YESSSSSS!!!!!!!
What else can I tell you about myself?
Let's see.... I was born the same day as Matchbox 20 leader Rob Thomas (who knew he was so old?), I'm single, never been married, no kids, and own a house in the city where I live with my cat Geraldine (a tribute to one of my comedy idols, Flip Wilson).
Hmmm... mid 40's, single, no kids, lives alone with his cat???? No, I'm not gay (not that there's anything wrong with it)... I'm just a shy geek.
Before I was asked to come back to The Wease Show I spent the past ten years working at a sheet metal factory called Barthelmes Manufacturing as a shipping clerk and machine operator. It was a good job, and worked with lots of great people, but I can't tell you how happy I am to be here instead. One day I was getting dirty and sore lifting heavy, sharp steel... the next day I'm getting paid to do something I love.. To quote Yakoff Smirnoff (when was the last time his name was mentioned)... "WHAT A COUNTRY!"
In my spare time I enjoy listening to music (obviously), going to concerts (obviously, again), movies, reading, writing, tv channel surfing to see if I'm missing something more entertaining than what I'm already watching, and am especially good at taking naps... To quote the great Ralph Wiggum "When it comes to sleep I'm a Viking".
I'm also a huge fan of baseball and football. I try to go to 5-10 Rochester Red Wing games a year, and am an insane fan of the NY Mets... during the season while normal people are out enjoying warm weather there is a good chance I'm sitting in front of a television watching my favorite team break my heart. During the fall and winter I spend lots of time on the weekends watching football, and managing my fantasy teams. I'm quite a catch, huh ladies?
Favorite musical acts include.... Elvis (both Presley and Costello), The Beatles (listen to "The Beatle Years" every Sunday from 7-8am on 95.1 The Fox), Bruce Springsteen, Barenaked Ladies, Counting Crows, Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers, Steven Kellogg and the Sixers, Eddie From Ohio, U2, Old Crow Medicine Show, and many, many more.
Favorite movies... I once wrote a whole blog about my ten favorite movies. I just looked at it, and it still holds up. Check it out. Scroll about half way down the page to see the list.
Favorite TV shows... I gotta go with "The Simpsons", "The Office", "24", and "Survivor". Those are the ones I never miss. I also try to watch "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report" whenever I can... where else can you catch up on current events, and laugh hysterically at the same time?
You're still reading this? Wow. Even I'm not that interested in me. Thanks for checking out my page, and for listening to The Wease Show.
