Static Live Magazine February 2019

95.7 the Hog, Daytona Beach
- RIGGS’ Rapid Paternity Test - Look, there’s clearly
still an audience for this stuff ‘cuz Maury Povich still
has a show, right? I did a lot of Internet research and
realized that helping people find answers doesn’t
have to take so long, so I spent a substantial amount
of slush fund cash on the chemicals and equipment.
Listeners dropped their swabbed DNA in our radio
station’s mailbox and we would do a weekly test
and announce the results. While the segment was
time-efficient for the show, it proved scientifically
inaccurate and we ruined a lot of lives. My bad.
- Request A Sound - We play plenty of music but
not nearly enough sound effects. So this idea involved
listener requests for their favorite sounds. It
went smoothly for a couple weeks but our research
showed after week 3 it was 87% fart sounds and a
large jump in requests for silence. Message received,
segment suspended.
-The Morning HOG Birthday Piñata - This involved
a monthly drawing from our listener database for a
special delivery of the birthday piñata. We stuffed
the thing with 95.7 The HOG t-shirts, stickers, candy,
cash, and some beverages from our Brew Review.
But paper mache is messy and difficult to get dried
and hardened, so the weight of the prizes frequently
broke through the HOG piñata and turned the winner’s
birthday into a mess of mopping and apologies.
- What Letter Is In Intern Steve’s Fanny Pack? - This
segment combines listeners love for guessing the
alphabet incrementally and Steve’s love of his fanny
pack. Seems like a win-win, but there’s always one
turd in the punch bowl who wants to argue that the
Greek alphabet is alive and well… we may have to
re-tool and bring this show sizzler back into rotation.
Stay tuned.
Velvet or Velour - We put Intern Steve on the corner
of ISB and Nova Road in a tank top and kilt then had
people reach under and determine if he was wearing
velvet or velour trunk briefs. Again, the sensitive
times we currently work in left this segment in the
dust as several contestant complaints read “I’ll never
be clean again” and “What’s wrong with him?”.
- Riggs & Guy Pudding Bus - This plan was doomed
from the start. Take a tour bus, a keg of Lagunitas,
lots of metal CDs, dancers, Madden 2019, inversion
tables and a large inflatable pool full of vanilla pudding
and you have the makings of one hell of a party.
Then you hear what you didn’t want to hear…
“Shit, we forgot the waivers”. Paperwork always
before pudding, so the bus never left the parking
lot. But don’t give up on this one either… we know
a guy.
If any of those happen to catch your attention or if
you have something you think we should try on-air,
swing by 957thehog.com and drop a note in The
Morning HOG Listener Suggestion Box. We will be
selecting some of your ideas each Monday and test
driving them on the show. As always, reach out at
957thehog on Facebook and Instagram and hit the
studio hotline at 386-866-0957.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Be a part of it!
Cheers!
