6:01 – After losing a World Series bet, Danny has to say that he’s Cliff’s bitch. Cliff is an awful human being because he’s a Yankees fan. Congratulations on being a front runner Cliff. Danny’s dislike for the Yankees is growing every day. As he learns more about baseball he find new reasons, plus they have obnoxious fans. While watching The Insider, a tabloid television show that involves talentless people arguing, they had a segment determining if Arod would get married before Jeter. Danny proclaimed that being big, tall, athletic men they should run away from the altar. They need to enjoy all the spoils of victory and not get tied down so soon. Danny’s fiancée Amy didn’t like what she was hearing. Danny wanted to take their relationship out of the equation, but Amy wasn’t having that. Danny dug himself in a deep hole by saying that all chicks are imminently replaceable. Danny took a good point and committed argument suicide. Danny should know by now that some things are not to be brought up for discussion with a girlfriend, this is one of them. The Phillies brought Danny joy and sex. The Yankees have brought fighting and abstinence to his world now. Bob calls to say that men are always right, but it just doesn’t matter. Callers agree with Danny thought, but wouldn’t have said it. Danny doesn’t have a conversational restrictor plate, which gets him in trouble often. Jim brings up that chicks always want honesty and when they get it they flip out. Jessica calls to say that she thinks that Danny has the right to say anything he wants, if all girls are replaceable then all men are too. 6:42 – SPORTS:
Roy Williams has not had good experiences on the field against the Eagles, and he says his family was not treated well by the fans because they were wearing Cowboys gear during their visit. “My brother was trying to get a cab ride back to the hotel [from the stadium] and they got in the cab and the guy was like, ‘E-L-G-S, Eagles! Eagles! Eagles!’ ” Williams said. “My brother said, ‘First of all, learn how to spell.’ But he wouldn’t give my family a ride because they had Cowboys stuff on. So they learned not to wear Cowboys stuff when they go to Philly.” Williams was a member of the Detroit Lions when they lost to the Eagles, 56-21, in 2007, and then was with the Dallas for last year’s 44-6 pounding in the regular season finale. “I got blown out there twice,” Williams said, “so I know what it’s like up there.” Shouldn’t that be expected in this city? Maybe Roy wouldn’t have to run his mouth about this if he didn’t suck every time he plays the Birds.
New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi capped off a victorious evening by helping a car crash victim in suburban New York. Police say Girardi pulled over to help after a woman lost control on a Westchester County highway and crashed into a wall around 2:30 a.m. Thursday. That was just hours after Girardi's team claimed the World Series.
A fight over the shoes Michael Jordan's son will wear at the University of Central Florida has cost the school any future sponsorship with Adidas. "The University of Central Florida has chosen not to deliver on their contractual commitment to Adidas," adidas spokeswoman Andrea Corso wrote in an e-mail to The Associated Press. "As a result we have chosen not to continue our relationship with them moving forward." Freshman guard Marcus Jordan wore a pair of white Air Jordans during UCF's 84-65 win in an exhibition game against Saint Leo on Wednesday night, the Orlando Sentinel reported on its Web site. Jordan has said he will only wear his father's Nike Air Jordan shoes because they hold special meaning to his family. Danny’s son Dante is expected to be a full on maniac because he’s Danny’s son, which is unfair to the kid.

Military officials were starting this morning to piece together what may have pushed an Army psychiatrist trained to help soldiers in distress to turn on his comrades in a shooting rampage that killed 13 people and wounded 30 in Texas. The suspected shooter, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, was on a ventilator and unconscious in a hospital after being shot four times during the shootings at the Army’s sprawling Fort Hood, post officials said. In the early chaos after the shootings, authorities believed they had killed him, only to discover later that he had survived. In Washington, a senior U.S. official said authorities at Fort Hood initially thought one of the victims who had been shot and killed was the shooter. The mistake resulted in a delay of several hours in identifying Hasan as the alleged assailant. Authorities have not ruled out that Hasan was acting on behalf of some unidentified radical group, the official said. He would not say whether any evidence had come to light to support that theory. Danny initially thought that this could have been a plan to infiltrate the military from the inside, but this guy is just a nut.
Governor Ed Rendell says he optimistic an agreement will be reached after sitting down with union leaders for a second time into the early morning hours of day four of the SEPTA transit worker strike. Rendell says the union is reviewing a new tentative offer. "The union is reviewing, overnight, the offer that was faxed to them by SEPTA, as a result of our conversations the congressman had with the union," said Rendell. Rendell says it is a good offer for both the union and for SEPTA and is optimistic there could be an agreement soon. If the contract is accepted, buses, trains and trolley's could be back up and running as early as Friday evening. The Governor was joined by Congressman Bob Brady during a meeting that started late Thursday night in Northern Liberties with the Transport Workers Union Local 234. Commuters have been facing growing traffic and rising frustrations since bus, trolley and subway service was halted Tuesday.
A SEPTA worker died this morning after being hit by an R2 train in the Fern Rock section of Philadelphia. The victim was a track inspector, according to SEPTA spokesman Richard Maloney. He was hit around 8:30 a.m. while walking on the tracks between the Melrose Park Station and Fern Rock Transportation Center. "I heard the train's horn blaring for a good few seconds. This alarmed me because the horn is usually only blown at a crossing or if there is activity on the tracks," passenger Shawn Hyska said.
A woman's wedding night in Australia turned into a nightmare when she realized that she was allergic to her husband's sperm. Julie Boyde from Ambridge, Pennsylvania had married lover Mike in 2005 after dating him for two years while still studying at university. Julie revealed that they had protected sex until their marriage night, which kept her ignorant of the fact that she suffered from a problem called seminal plasma hypersensitivity, which was diagnosed after numerous medical tests . "Before we were always very careful and used protection - this time we didn''t,'' Julie said. She added: "We figured, we''re married, if we get pregnant, we get pregnant. Pretty much right after I knew something was not right because I was in a lot of pain. What a bummer. Danny dated a girl that had an STD, using condoms all the time, but knew he wouldn’t love her because of her incurable disease. If this wife has allergies, then she could take medicine for the reaction. They didn’t have sex often, but Danny and his ex-wife would ask Gretchen if she had a minute as code for some time alone so she could get it over with and get on with her day. 7:31 – Danny Bonaduce: Life Coach

8:23 – Danny’s big boss, Andy Bloom is in the studio. Danny and Metro thought he was upset that the show was running late, but he has a story of interest for the Entertainment segment. Danny was nominated for the Best New Radio Personality for the March of Dimes Philadelphia AIR Award and won. Way to go Danny! He’s very honored. The station won four awards in total. 8:36 – Howard Eskin is on the show to talk about Philly sports. Danny’s not certain how to act on the field this Sunday night when he’s an Honorary Captain for the Eagles game. Howards suggests that Danny acts stupid, he should be used to that. Nice. Danny thinks that the key is to get pressure on Tony Romo and throw him out of rhythm, making him susceptible to mistakes. He also sees a lot of physical coverage by the Dallas secondary. It all sounds so simple, but execution is the hard part. Is the team playing better without Westbrook? He may not be what he was, but his hands and ability to pick up the blitz really help the team. He needs to stay healthy though. A Cowboys win will help establish who this Eagles team is, but Howard’s not ready to send them to the Superbowl just yet. They can win the division, sure. McNabb to Jackson seems like the best QB/WR connection out there now. Brees from New Orleans is playing like the best quarterback in the league, but he doesn’t have a receiver like Jackson. Fitzgerald is the best receiver, but Warner’s not a top tier quarterback. Howard likes the Eagles Sunday but thinks the score will be closer than it should be.
9:01- Brianna and Toni, two gorgeous ladies from the Penthouse Club, are in the studio for The Naked Truth. They’ll give out three facts; the listener that can recite those facts on demand will win tickets to see Jim Breuer at the Keswick. For every fact the girls give they take an article of clothing off.
1. The play Lincoln was watching when he was shot was Our American Cousin.
Toni takes off Brianna’s black vest. They’re a bit of a couple it turns out. Danny’s seen Brianna dance and is impressed by her work on the pole.
2. Lincoln carried letters and bills in his stovepipe hat.
Toni takes off Brianna’s tank top off from behind and suddenly more girls are in the studio. Ashley and Tara are the new girls. Since they’re late Ashley and Tara need to catch up. Danny might have a heart attack.
3. Tom Hanks is a third cousin, four times removed from Abraham Lincoln.
They’re not dancers or strippers, they’re pole technicians. Clothes come off, shots go down. Could Toni and Brianna encourage Danny’s fiancée Amy to cross the line and go for some girl on girl action? That’s Toni’s specialty!
9:36 – Danny I finding it hard to concentrate because there are four beautiful girls from the Penthouse Club getting friendly with one another in the studio. Metro comes up with the idea that the girls feed each other desserts because he thinks that would be sexy, the girls are down with it. Tara feeds a strawberry covered in whipped cream to Ashley, mouth to mouth. Nice. Brianna straddles Toni as they share a mini-cheesecake, licking whipped cream off each other’s face. Wow.
9:57 – Spike’s in next, but he’s at a loss for words. He doesn’t have hot girls like Tara, Ashley, Toni, and Brianna on his show. But he does have power ballads!
9:59 – Danny’s Final Thought: In about five minutes, I too, will be a pole technician

6:02 – After the outcome of last night’s game it’s probably good that Danny didn’t take a train to New York to confront writers from the New York Post that trashed Philly. Danny was set to do it when the station bosses threw up the stop sign and told him not to go. Danny takes calls about the Phils losing the World Series to the Yankees. Some think it’s his fault for not letting Amy nail Jayson Werth. She has the green light, but only if it happens under natural circumstances. Last night was the first time Amy ever declined sex. How long is that gonna go on? This could be the worst offseason ever. Danny made it a point to tone down his drinking, limiting himself to two drinks last night. Danny and Amy have interesting ways of talking in bed and includes sexy talk that has some Jayson Werth sprinkled in it. Danny is bummed out about the game, but optimistic about next year. Danny found himself going from a guy who didn’t care much about sports to a true Phillies fan. Maybe it’s time to move onto the Flyers, that’s what Anthony is doing. Are there any cute Flyers that Amy can crush on? Not that Anthony can speak of. Amanda calls to say that perhaps Amy turned down sex because Danny gave her permission to have a one-off with a baseball player? Not quite. She wasn’t in the mood because the Phils lost and she was sad. Peter is still drinking from the night before. So what’s Danny going to do for the rest of the show? He got used to talking about the Phillies every day and now the season is over.
6:24 – Dalton calls to brag because he’s a bandwagon Yankees fan. He married a Philly girl. He’s a bit of a sore winner. We can mourn, but life must go on. Danny has a jam packed weekend of boobs and Rocky Balboa that start tomorrow. 6:39 – SPORTS:
The New York Yankees won their record 27th World Series title, defeating the defending champion Philadelphia Phillies 7-3 for their first Major League Baseball crown since 2000. Thank you to all the Phils for a great season. We’re proud of you.
Brian Westbrook is set to return from his latest injury when the Eagles host the Dallas Cowboys in a matchup of the top two teams in the NFC East on Sunday. Westbrook missed the Eagles’ rout of the Giants last week with a concussion sustained a week earlier in a victory over Washington. Coach Andy Reid said Westbrook, who practiced Wednesday for the first time since the injury, should be “good to go” against Dallas and will not need to undergo further testing.
Forme Phillie pitcher Vincente Padilla's right thigh was grazed by a bullet during a hunting accident in Nicaragua. Vicente Padilla, who revived his career in the Dodgers' run to the National League Championship Series, was treated for a minor self-inflicted gunshot wound in his right leg at a hospital in his native Nicaragua on Tuesday, his agent Adam Katz said. It’s more surprising that he didn’t get shot at a home game given where Dodgers Stadium is.
CBS sportscaster Jim Nantz must pay $916,000 yearly in alimony and child support to his ex-wife and give up their Connecticut home under terms of a newly issued divorce decree. Danny begins to think that he shouldn’t have been so liberal with his settlement with Gretchen. If Danny knew how Gretchen would change after the divorce he would have fought harder in court. He bit his tongue while taping Breaking Bonaduce when he could have exposed some of her tremendous secrets that would shatter her good girl reputation.

After calling a labor truce during the World Series games in Philadelphia, the head of the city transit union virtually took off the gloves Wednesday at a press conference, blasting SEPTA over the key pension issue and government leaders. “While other issues remain unsettled, the key issue is pensions and how worker pensions will be funded,” said Willie Brown, Transport Workers Union Local 234 president, at a press conference at union headquarters in the city. Danny never thought much about pensions until he found out that Gretchen could go after some of his. Blocking people on the way to work is a bad call though.
Philadelphia Police have identified a person of interest in connection with a hit and run crash that left twin eight-year-old girls injured Tuesday. Investigators are hoping to talk with 22-year-old Shawn Timbers after the accident in the Crescentville section of the city. Police said the twins were struck by a 2000 grey Lincoln Town Car at the intersection of Colgate Street and Cheltenham Avenue at about 3:30 p.m. The driver did not stop. The young girls were transported to St. Christopher's Hospital for Children. One of the victims, identified as Kaitlyn Bradfield, is listed in critical condition, but stable condition. Her sister Eryca was initially listed in stable condition, but she was released from the hospital on Wednesday. Hopefully the girls won’t be able to remember this. This is a trauma they don’t need to remember.
An executive with Best Buy claims a United Airlines gate agent refused to allow him to take a first-class seat because he was wearing a track suit. Armando Alvarez, a corporate executive with electronics retailer Best Buy, says he used miles to upgrade to first class on his Monday flight from Washington Dulles to Connecticut. Alvarez says that once his upgrade cleared, he walked to the counter near the gate to get his new seat assignment. That's when he says the gate agent told him that his track suit was too casual for him to sit in first class. The airline is scrambling to look for a long lost dress code. A track suit and free drinks should be good for first class on an airplane though, it’s not a night at the orchestra. 7:31 – Danny Bonaduce: Life Coach
Sean is calling to see if he has a problem with alcohol. He’s never missed work because of drinking, had a DUI, but he did cheat on his current girlfriend while drinking though. If he did anything while drinking that he wouldn’t have done sober then he does have an issue. He only cheated once on his girlfriend of three years that lives in another city. His girlfriend is willing to give him another chance, but he’s not sure he’s willing to move to be with her. What Sean really wants is a reason to not move. Don’t move Sean!
Linda bought a house in the suburbs a few years ago and now they’re being crushed by their mortgage since their money situation changed with the economy’s downward turn. Try and refinance or just work hard to keep it. There’s only so much land, real estate is always a good investment. Hold onto the property and in five years it’ll be worth much more. Danny is in the middle of the same situation with his house in Los Angeles that his wife is living in. It will be sold in a few years, for a good profit too. Banks don’t want any more homes, they want house payments.
7:52 – Simpsons executive producer Al Jean is on the show. What made him believe that an animated show would work in prime time? It was his only job offer at the time. He thought it would be a good show, but didn’t know it would be a smash hit. There are so many things that the characters can do that is acceptable in a world of animation that wouldn’t be acceptable in a live action show. The Simpsons are closing in on 500 episodes, being on the air for 20 years. Over the next week many Fox shows will air clues for a Simpsons scavenger hunt. Sweet. Some of the voice actors play multiple characters on the show, Danny can only do one voice, gravely. They had many guest stars over the years, including some stars who went uncredited. Michael Jackson did the show, but used a soundalike in the big song. Why hasn’t Danny been on the show? Sometimes it takes Al years to work the guests into the show, so if Danny can live for another five years maybe he’ll be on the show.

Jack White and Slash may both be indisputable modern rock guitar heroes, but a possible collaboration between the two was recently nixed by White, according to an interview with Slash. "I wanted to get Jack White to sing on something, but he didn't want to sing," said Slash. "He said, 'I'll play drums, I'll play guitar, but I don't wanna sing.' He was one guy that I wanted to work with. Pretty much everyone else that I went after I managed to get." That’s so uncool. It’s Slash!
VH1 will devote an hour to one of Danny's friends on “Broke and Famous: Willie Aames.” While some might dispute the latter, there’s no arguing with the former. Aames, who estimates he was pulling in $1.5 million a year in his glory days co-starring on “Eight is Enough” and “Charles in Charge,” is penniless. Enter financial and personal coach Sarano Kelley, who challenges Aames to reinvent his life in just one week to nab a $25,000 check. Why isn’t Danny the Life Coach? He got Willie a job, lent him money, and gave him a place to live when he needed one. Danny did pitch a Willia Aames show to VH1, now they’re doing it with other people, that hurts.
Penny Marshall is recovering after undergoing surgery to treat a brain tumor. She assumed the illness was just a bout of influenza, but was left reeling when medics found two potentially cancerous tumours. "She was vomiting and thought it might be the flu. But she got the shock of her life when the doctors told her she had a tumour on both her brain and her liver. Penny was a wild girl when Danny hung out with her at a wedding once. Best of luck to her. 8:31 – Who Would Win In A Fight: Rocky ‘The Italian Stallion’ Balboa vs. Randy ‘The Ram’ Robinson
In a fight of fictional characters the legendary lefty from South Philly played by Sylvester Stallone goes up against Mickey Rourke’s Randy the Ram from The Wrestler. Metro takes Randy because the moves in wrestling are real, but they just fake it in the ring. Spike takes Randy because of the size difference. Danny takes Rocky, who is over 220, for a multitude of reasons. Rocky might not cut himself in the ring for show, but he did ask Mick to cut him so the swelling over one of his eyes would go down and he’s a leg breaker for gangsters in South Philly. He doesn’t need rules.
8:39 – Zoli takes Rocky because he can take a beating and he has the dexterity to catch a chicken. Rodney takes Randy because he’s mentally unstable. Steve takes Rocky because he’s a trained professional. Tony takes Rocky because he always goes the distance and can go into street fighter mode like he did with Tommy Gunn. Frank takes Rocky because he’s from Philly. Patty takes Rocky because he’s a professional fighter. Bob, a wrestling geek, take boxing because it’s real. Tom takes Rocky. John takes Rocky because of his Kensington ties. Alex takes Rocky because he whipped Ivan Drago’s ass and ended the Cold War. Ryan takes Rocky because he threw Thunder Lips over the top rope. Rocky dominates the phone calls and the texts. Rocky crushes Randy in a landslide.
9:03 – Food Network star Guy Fieri is on the show. Tonight he'll be at the Merriam Theatre for the first EVER Guy Fieri Roadshow. What is it? It’s a fusion of rock n’ roll and cooking in a high energy environment. There’s a bartender that can work bottles like Tom Cruise in Cocktail. Music, food, guy talk, feeding the audience, and a monster margarita machine. Guy knew he had something good going on with the stage show when a girl threw her bra on the stage. Sounds like a great time.

Spike has been watching Phillies game at a secret sports bar that isn’t crowded. He keeps it a secret so it doesn’t get crowded.

The family of a Brazilian man got the shock of their lives when the man crashed his own funeral on Monday, November 2nd. Relatives of 59-year-old Ademir Jorge Goncalves confirmed his death in a car accident. The family had a difficult time identifying the body because it was so disfigured, but they were sure it was him. What no one knew was that Goncalves had spent the night drinking large quantities of rum with friends. By the time he sobered up his funeral was underway. Goncalves decided to attend and personally show that his death had been greatly exaggerated. The body in the casket was correctly ID'd and later buried. The first thing that Danny thinks about is if it could benefit him to fake his own death to get out of alimony payments. It could be possible.
9:55 – Spike is pretty tight with Jeff, the Program Director. Is he a double-agent, working his way into Danny’s world, gain his trust, and then report all to Jeff? Perhaps.

6:01 – Danny isn’t jealous of Jayson Werth, just yet. Ever since declaring her lust for #28 of the Phillies, Amy has been getting attention and Danny has been getting comments. Ordinarily Amy is very shy, but suddenly she’s posting glamorous photos of herself online. She’s also getting various kinds of Werth shirts in the mail. Danny and Amy had a page and a half twitter conversation about Werth yesterday. It included a few jokes at the expense of Danny. Maybe he is getting jealous.
6:19 – Samantha calls to say that she’s obsessed with Raul Ibanez. She posts about him on Facebook when he has a good play in the field or at bat. The boyfriend isn’t into baseball like Samantha is, so he is getting a little fed up. Danny’s not there yet. Mark’s girlfriend is going nuts for Jayson too. His friends at work tell him that the church going girls like Chase Utley and the bad girls like Werth. Tom calls to say that when Cliff Lee had his behind the back catch in Game 1 his girlfriend didn’t cheer, she moaned. Whoa. Mark’s girlfriend is always looking for Chase Utley photos online. Danny hopes that Amy’s Werth crush is only for the postseason and goes away after the World Series. 6:41 – SPORTS:
A brief and seemingly testy exchange between Cole Hamels and Brett Myers after Game 5 of the World Series was jocular in nature and not representative of a clubhouse feud, a team official contended Tuesday afternoon. Contrary to a witness account late Monday, Phillies public relations director Greg Casterioto said Myers was joking when he said to Hamels, “What are you doing here? I thought you quit.” Myers’ observation was believed to reference Hamels’ remarks following Game 3, when he told reporters, “I can’t wait for [the season] to end. It’s been mentally draining. At year end, you just can’t wait for a fresh start.” Myers and Hamels have denied a rift and contend the incident was light-hearted. We can’t have the Phillies fighting with each other in the World Series, but they are a team and probably have inside jokes that we’re not aware of. Just a couple of wiseasses.
Shane Victorino was examined by a doctor Tuesday and continues to experience soreness with the right index finger that A.J. Burnett plunked in the first inning of Game 5 Monday night. X-rays revealed a bone bruise but not a fracture, Victorino said. Charlie Manuel said Ben Francisco would start in center field if Victorino is unable to play, which would keep Raul Ibañez in left field and likely mean lefty-hitting Matt Stairs would start at DH against southpaw Andy Pettitte. If Victorino can play, Francisco likely starts in left field with Ibañez moving to DH, as was the case in Game 1 against lefthander CC Sabathia.
Paul Pierce scored 21 points, Rasheed Wallace had 20 and the Boston Celtics remained unbeaten with a 105-74 victory over the 76ers on Tuesday night.
It is day two of the SEPTA strike and with no negotiations scheduled, commuters hit the roads and rails early o beat the anticipated heavy morning rush hour. At 6 a.m., with Philadelphia's subway trains, buses and trolley service halted, traffic along the major highways was heavier than usual and there were more people in line to catch a ride on Regional Rail. According to SEPTA, 101 and 102 trolley service was halted Wednesday morning because of TWU Local 234 picketers at the Victory Garage. Suburban buses were also operating "sporadically" with only one bus able to leave the garage every 30 to 45 minutes. The city is broke, there is no more money. Danny supports the union, but blindly because he's in two unions.

Gillian has been modeling for extra money on the side while going to school. She’s been dealing with a photographer who scammed her on a Nigerian Prince scam. She deposited a money order, wired some cash to a third party and then go hammered by her bank. She reported it to the police, but it’s a civil matter because she did it willingly. She was swindled for $1,700 which is above the small claims court limit. It could be costly, but in the courts she could go for more money than she lost.
BJ, a woman, was assaulted by her husband’s brother at a party. She’s since separated from her husband and loves him, but has had trouble that he didn’t do something about it after the fact. It’s not a snap decision to make when a guy finds out this news. He has to have time to think about it and let it stew. She wants to get over the anger. What would make it better? She thinks that a written apology would do the trick. Set the level and let it be achieved.
7:54 – Danny wants to talk to people whose lives are chaotic with the SEPTA union strike. Mike has to walk two hours roundtrip, from Olney to Elkins Park. Ally is stuck on 76 stuck in traffic and isn’t happy at all. Heath calls to say that he thinks a union worker started the Overbrook train fire. Ken, a truck driver, thinks that this strike is putting people in cars who don’t belong on the road because they’re bad drivers.

Oscar organizers on Tuesday named an unlikely pair of hosts for March's Academy Awards, comedian Steve Martin and "30 Rock" star Alec Baldwin, a past loser at the world's top film awards. Both funny guys, it could be disjointed. Danny’s optimistic though because they’re both funny.
Danny's friend Kiefer Sutherland stunned bar staff when he bought all of their customers a drink. The actor and crew members of '24' popped into The Spot in San Pedro, California, after finishing a shoot, as they wanted to relax with a few alcoholic beverages. According to an employee, Kiefer was enjoying scotch and cokes and decided to buy everyone in the venue - about 30 people - leaving him with a $500 bar bill. He then left staff an impressive $200 tip when he left at the end of the night. Danny loves a great drink, but drinks in San Pedro should be cheap. Knowing Kiefer as well as he does, this story isn’t surprising to Danny. 8:31 – Danny is going to catch a chicken to get people fired up for Sunday’s Parade of the 1000 Rocky's. Inspired by a famous scene in Rocky II, in which Mick wants Rock to work on his speed, Danny will do his best to track down and grab a chicken. Danny predicts that there will be lots of broken equipment and will find a hole in the wall, duck into it, and disappear. He’s caught a few chickens in his wild and crazy days. Spike is shocked that there is a real, live chicken in the studio. Danny caresses the chicken to liven it up. It’s a bit of a relaxed chicken. Danny wants to up the ante and see if he can catch the chicken and stick the chicken’s head in his mouth. Metro and Spike are freaked out, but Danny catches the chicken and puts the chicken in his mouth for a three count. Danny knows two things: chickens and drugs. That chicken must be on drugs.
9:13 – The New York Post is attacking the Phils again. They’re going after Pedro and David Wells suggests that the Yankees pitchers throw at Utley’s head. Spike thinks that Pettitte pitching on three days rest gives the Phils the advantage in tonight’s game. Danny doesn’t know about that, but what he does know is punching Yankees fans. Danny likes the reputation of the Philadelphia sports fans. Danny thinks the Post needs to play. Maybe mail back the copies of the awful articles after the Phils win the Series. Maybe Danny needs to pay a visit to the editors of the Post and let them know they’re finished with the Philadelphia jokes effective immediately. That’ll get the message across.
9:37 – Rich the Intern will be taking the chicken home. The chicken store doesn’t allow returns, so Rich will be bringing it home for a pet. Danny once dated a girl who had a pet chicken, it bit him. What will the chicken be named? Lord Cornwallace, after the chicken on the Corn Flakes box. That’s more than enough Rich, you are dismissed.

Eight-year-old twin girls were injured - one critically - by a hit-and-run driver in the city's Crescentville section this afternoon, police said. Eryca and Kaitlyn Bradfield were crossing Colgate when a gray Lincoln Town Car struck both. One of the girls was run over and had tire tracks on her clothing over her midsection, police said. The other girl was knocked down and less-seriously injured.
In exchange for no jail time, a woman and her adult daughter have agreed to stand outside a Pennsylvania courthouse holding signs saying they stole a gift card from a 9-year-old girl on her birthday. Fifty-six-year-old Evelyn Border and 35-year-old Tina Griekspoor stood outside the court for 4 1/2 hours Tuesday. They held signs that read: "I stole from a 9-year-old girl on her birthday! Don't steal or this could happen to you!" Because the women agreed to hold the signs, Bedford County District Attorney Bill Higgins says he'll ask for probation instead of jail when they plead guilty to the theft. That’s great!
A company behind plans to open the first hotel in space says it is on target to accept its first paying guests in 2012 despite critics questioning the investment and time frame for the multi-billion dollar project. The Barcelona-based architects of The Galactic Suite Space Resort say it will cost 3 million euro ($4.4 million) for a three-night stay at the hotel, with this price including an eight-week training course on a tropical island. During their stay, guests would see the sun rise 15 times a day and travel around the world every 80 minutes. They would wear velcro suits so they can crawl around their pod rooms by sticking themselves to the walls like Spiderman. Danny’s also a fan of the underwater hotel and the hotel made of ice. Though a hotel in space by 2012 is highly unlikely.

6:01 – Danny loved the drama of the game last night, but he also had to put up with 9 innings of e-mails, texts, and twitter updates about his fiancee’s lust for Jayson Werth. His good looks don’t bother Danny so much; it’s his 6’5” body. Danny Bonaduce, Mickey Rourke, Jayson Werth, and some day maybe Bill Clinton. Amy is moving up the ladder. Danny was on CNN again last night, and no one in Philly saw it. He’s been on CNN twice in the past month, up against Phillies playoff games.
6:17 – John calls to say that he saw Danny on CNN because his kids won’t let him watch the Phillies. They think he’s a jinx. Nathan asks Danny if he’d wear a Werth jersey to bed. YES! Danny’s not the jealous boyfriend he used to be. He’s grown past that and has learned to appreciate other men appreciating his lady. Mark calls to ask Danny about the other regulars that do The Smoking Gun Presents: World’s Dumbest, specifically Curtis Sliwa. Curtis started the Guardian Angels, but the organization lost a little luster when Curtis was accused of having himself shot with a gun on his radio show to boost ratings. He’s admitted to faking crimes to boost the profile of the Guardian Angels, so it’s extremely likely he’s not a legit dude. The Guardian Angels are nothing more than goofy mall security guards. They have no rights of arrest or powers whatsoever. 6:46 – SPORTS:
Chase Utley hit two home runs to raise his World Series total to a record-tying five, Cliff Lee won again and the Philadelphia Phillies staved off elimination with an 8-6 victory over the New York Yankees in Game 5 on Monday night. The Phillies hung on to close their deficit to 3-2. The Yankees scored three times in the eighth inning and put two runners on in the ninth before Derek Jeter grounded into a double play. Utley hit a go-ahead, three-run homer in the first off A.J. Burnett and added a solo shot in the seventh. Utley joined Reggie Jackson as the only players to hit five home runs in a single World Series. Game 6 is Wednesday night at Yankee Stadium, with Andy Pettitte pitching for New York against Pedro Martinez. What a great game. This looked free and clear with a 6-1 win, but then things got a little dramatic.
Cliff Lee's perfect postseason might not be over yet. Lee could earn a Game 7 start for the Philadelphia Phillies if they force the World Series to a decisive game against the New York Yankees. "As far as my availability, I'm available," Lee said. The Phillies' left-handed ace has been flawless in the postseason with a 4-0 record and a 1.56 ERA in five starts. If Game 7 gets pushed back further because of weather there could be some heart attack deaths in the 215.
There are reports that the Phillies’ Cole Hamels and Brett Myers were restrained by team officials after the Phillies Game 5 win. The incident was related to Hamels' statement after Game 3 that he wanted his season to be over. Myers walked by Hamels in the Phillies’ locker room and reportedly told Hamels he had quit on the Phillies. Hamels then yelled at Myers and Phillies’ officials jumped in between the two pitchers. Hamels has endured heavy criticism when told reporters after his loss on Saturday that he wanted the World Series to end, even though he is still scheduled to pitch in Game 7. It might be good for Cole to lay low these days.

SEPTA's largest transport workers union is on strike after failing to reach a new contract during negotiations with the transit agency. Transport Workers Union Local 234 announced the strike as of 3 a.m. Tuesday. Most SEPTA services in Philadelphia will be brought to a halt due to the strike, as the union represents more than 5,000 bus drivers, subway and trolley operators and mechanics. The El, subway and all city buses and trolleys will not run. Eventually the will of the people will put a stop to the strike. It was nice of the union to wait until after the World Series moved out of town though.
The Philadelphia Inquirer has apologized for mistakenly running an ad congratulating the Phillies on winning back-to-back World Series titles. The ad featured a shirt with the Phillies logo & the phrase "Back to Back Champions.''
A Center City store was raided by investigators on Monday for allegedly selling counterfeit Phillies merchandise. Officials from the city's Licenses and Inspections department, working on behalf of Major League Baseball, raided Sneaker Junction located in the 300 block of Market Street. Investigators said they seized more than 1,000 counterfeit hats, shirts and sweatshirts. Officials said if the merchandise was genuine, it would have been valued at more than $25,000. "You wanna make sure it has the Major League Baseball hologram. You wanna make sure it has the hang tags and you wanna make sure it's of good quality," a MLB investigator said. The owner of the store reportedly told investigators he believed the merchandise was legitimate. No criminal charges are expected to be filed.
One person's bizarre declaration of love brought the bomb squad to Philadelphia's 30th Street Station on Monday. Moments after workers inside Amtrak's 30th St. Station train yard spotted a suspicious device at the base of a smokestack, police officers and fire units sealed off the area, discovering a battery powered timer at the base of the stack with wires extending upwards. "With the atmosphere we live in today, coupled with the World Series here in Philadelphia, the site of that device would alarm anyone," Chief Inspector Joseph Sullivan explained. However, after scrambling up ladders atop the building, startled officers did not find an explosive device, but instead a string of lights designed to flash the message: "I love you Sonia." "Someone could have been seriously hurt out here today, but for a foolish prank," Sullivan said. Police say the timer on the battery pack was apparently set to activate the lights. Nothing says I love you like the bomb squad! 7:30 – Danny Bonadue: Life Coach
Ron has been married for 7 years, although she tells him she loves him a lot. However she never initiates intimacy. Danny loves big romantic gestures, when they go unreturned it’s crushing. People love in different ways. Some buy flowers, others clean the house and cook dinner. He’s not noticing her romantic gestures; it just doesn’t always come in a vase. Danny’s wife’s version of romance was sticking by her man for so many years.
Dan had a few discs in his back fused, but the surgery led to nerve damage and the insurance company is dicking around. If the lawyer doesn’t have this taken care of in a few months then Dan has the wrong lawyer.
Jerry was arrested for alleged violation of a protection order. He can prove he was somewhere else at the same time, but because he’s short of cash, but is told he doesn’t qualify for a public defender. It’s his right to have representation. This should be a simple open and shut case.
Nathan has an anger issue. Anger management only made him more upset. He hasn’t been to jail because of his anger, but has lost a job. Danny learned to control his anger when he was throwing a tantrum and realized he wasn’t breaking things he liked. So he must be in control if he’s not breaking things he likes. Get it together, get a medical doctor, or get medication. Do something about it.

Danny made an appearance on CNN last night on Issues with Jean Velez Mitchell and killed it. Danny was asked to talk about David Hasselhoff’s new reality show that follows his battle with sobriety. Sounds like a familiar subject. There were jokes a plenty. Danny dominates the panel shows because he never lets anyone else get more air time than him. 8:31 – CBS3’s Beasley Reece is on the show to talk some sports. Danny’s impressed with his physique; he works out quite a bit. They’re in the mutual admiration society. Beasley is quite the musician; he’s got some skills on the piano. Beasley thinks that the Phils stand a chance if Ryan Howard can snap his cold streak and power the Phils to a series win. Can they do it? Yes they can! Because of what Chase Utley’s been able to do at the plate and if it’s stretched to 7 games, this could be one of the greatest World Series of all time. Beasley sees the Phils using an array of pitchers for Game 7. The pitchers have to control A-Rod and the bats need to get on the same page and rally for some runs. As a former player, Cole Hamels’ words about wanting the season to be over worries Beasley a little bit. He wants some mental toughness and some attitude from Cole.
9:00 – George Wendt, Norm from Cheers, is on the show. He wrote a book, Drinking with George: A Barstool Professional's Guide to Beer, about drinking beer, Danny knows it’s not that easy to write a book. It’s not a technical book about different types of beer. It’s funny anecdotes about his days with brews. One of those stories includes going to a skinny dipping in Hawaii with Woody Harrelson and going swimming with the US Olympic Synchronized Swimming Team. Is it possible to drink a pint of beer too fast? In some cases it’s acceptable to take one down in four gulps, but it’s not a rate you should keep up all night. Fifteen minutes is a decent ‘goal’ time so you don’t rush it. Danny, a liquor fan, doesn’t pace himself for long nights.

Including Flyers fans throwing pretzels at a Caps fan. He obviously deserved it. Chase was incredible. Is he the new Mr. October or the one and only Mr. November?

6:01 – Danny’s a little thrown off because his clock in the studio hasn’t been reset after daylight savings time. His weekend was full of wins, losses, and blood. He didn’t get to see all of the Eagles game, but knows they demolished the Giants. The Phils losses weren’t so great though. The blood came from an injury at home, he put his foot on a coffee table with wheels, which shot out from under him, his face hit cast iron and he then put a huge gash in his leg when jumping up from the fall. Danny takes some calls about last night’s baseball game. Some people are not happy with Lidge’s fielding or his pitching. The up side is that Cliff Lee is pitching tonight. Danny’s fiancée still wants to nail Jayson Werth. His stock went up after a two home run game. More calls about Utley’s throw to himself and Lidge’s loss come in. 6:40 – SPORTS:
Alex Rodriguez delivered the biggest hit of his life, a go-ahead, two-out double in the ninth inning off Brad Lidge and the New York Yankees. Boo.
The Eagles moved to the top of the NFC East by overwhelming the New York Giants 40-17 on Sunday inspired by quarterback Donovan McNabb. McNabb completed 17 of 23 passes for 240 yards and three scores to lead the rout of the mistake-prone Giants (5-3), who lost their third straight game to stumble out of first place. The Eagles' passing success was complemented by a big-play ground game that included a 41-yard touchdown by Leonard Weaver 94 seconds into the game and a 66-yard score by LeSean McCoy. Despite playing without the injured Brian Westbrook, the Eagles rushed for 180 yards, an average of 7.5 yards per carry. McCoy did the bulk of the damage with 82 yards on 11 carries. "We were very balanced and had a way of attacking their defense, knowing that they like to blitz at times," McNabb told reporters. "They'll sit back in the zone to challenge you to see what you're doing. We were able to pick up big plays all throughout the drives." Philadelphia (5-2) is tied for the division lead with the Dallas Cowboys, who routed the Seattle Seahawks 38-17 on Sunday. The Eagles host the Cowboys next Sunday.
The former wife of Oakland Raiders coach Tom Cable and a recent girlfriend claim Cable has a history of violent behavior toward women, and asked that he seek help for his anger. Sandy Cable and Marie Lutz said in seperate interviews on ESPN's "Outside the Lines" that the first-year head coach physically abused them at various times during their relationships. Cable acknowledged striking Sandy Cable with an open hand in a statement released to The Associated Press. Cable said the altercation happened more than 20 years ago and was the only time he's ever touched a woman inappropriately. "During my first marriage, I became aware that my wife Sandy had committed adultery," Cable said in the statement. "I became very angry and slapped her with an open hand. What I did was wrong and I have regretted and felt sorrow about that moment ever since.” If she promised not to cheat while getting married, then she’s the bad one, not the guy she cheated with. However any kind of domestic violence is wrong.

On Sunday, Philadelphia police began enforcing the city council passed ban on using hand-held cell phones, while driving. Philadelphia police will begin the crackdown by informing drivers about the ban on talking, dialing or sending text messages while operating a vehicle. Deputy police commissioner Stephen Johnson: "The first 30-days will be a trial period of sorts. We'll convey warnings to violators, as opposed to taking any punitive action." Come Dec. 1st, police will begin to issue code violations that will carry a $150 fine, or $75, if paid within 10-days: "In our jargon, this is known as a stand alone offense. If we see a violation, we have every right to stop an offender."
An 18-year-old Maryland teen was arrested this week for allegedly stealing a University of Delaware student's car three months ago and selling it on Craigslist. Craig Cunha, of the first block of Peach Road in Elkton, was charged Tuesday with one count of felony theft and conspiracy, Newark police Lt. Brian Henry said.A warrant has been issued for the arrest of a 17-year-old accomplice who lives in Lebanon, Pa. According to police, the 2003 Toyota Camry was stolen after the 21-year-old student left it unlocked Aug. 1 in the parking lot of University Courtyard Apartments in the 600 block of Scholar Drive. The student told police that a car key was kept in the center console A week later, the car was listed for sale on eBay, Henry said. Danny leaves his keys in the ignition so he knows where they are. He’s not worried about having his car stolen, that’s what insurance is for!
Kosovo's Albanian majority unveiled a statue of former president Bill Clinton on Sunday to thank him for saving them by stopping a wave of ethnic cleansing by Serbia. As the U.S. President in 1999, Clinton launched NATO air strikes to halt the killing of ethnic Albanians by Serbian troops. Clinton's speech was interrupted several times by Kosovo Albanians wildly cheering his name and U.S.A., and waving U.S., Albanian and Kosovo flags. Neat.
A New Hampshire restaurant has set the record for the world's largest meatball. Matthew Mitnitsky, owner of Nonni's Italian Eatery in Concord, said Sunday that a 222.5-pound meatball was authenticated as the world's largest after being weighed by state weights and measures officials. A Guinness Book of World Records official confirmed the big meatball as a record breaker and presented Mitnitsky with a plaque. The old record stood at 198.6 pounds. Mitnitsky said "the idea was to bring the meatball back to the East Coast because that's where it originated." How many people could that meatball have fed? Danny thinks that he could break a world record. Maybe he’ll take a run at breaking more than 59 boards with his head. 7:32 – Danny Bonaduce: Life Coach
Ryan’s wife has been denied unemployment benefits from her job when she was fired a few days before they would have kicked in. There seems to be an effort by the small company.

Theresa isn’t sure. One day she might be.

7:51 – The voice of the Eagles, Merrill Reese is on the show. The football Merrill is excited, the baseball Merrill is a little sad. Merrill didn’t expect a win this big. The Eagles looked good in every phase of the game. There are good receivers, great receivers, and elite receivers. DeSean Jackson is an elite receiver. Once McNabb gets a little time, he can make some great plays. Maclin and Avant are tremendous weapons too. The defense could lock down coverage on the other team’s tight end. The Cowboys comes to town next weekend. What does Merrill think about that? This team should be confident in themselves. Dallas is going to look to redeem themselves after their last visit to the Linc.

Pearl Jam shut down the Spectrum for good on Saturday with a show that stretched into Sunday morning. It started off with "Why Go," a question Spectrum lovers have been asking since the treasured old building's impending doom was annouced last year, and ended about 3 hours and 40 minutes later, much more happily than the Phillies game across the street, with a Mike McCready interpretation of Jimi Hendrix's "Star Spangled Banner." (Despite the rumors, Jimi Hendrix did not show up to play with him, although earlier in the show, Eddie Vedder did bring out 89 year old Spectrum stage hand Charlie DiFabio, who's worked at the Spectrum since 1967, for a moment of onstage glory.) There were as many songs in the encores as there were in the main set, including a Halloween surprise cover of "Whip It," with band members dressed as Devo from their red flower pot hats down to their yellow jumpsuits. Vedder and crew whipped out the obscurities, too: after failing at first, Vedder got through his accordion parts on the creepy, crawly "Bugs," from 1994's Vitalogy, which had never been played live before. That's also apparently true of "Sweet Lew," the stripped down Kareem Abdul-Jabbar-Lew Alcindor inspired trifle, which was sung by Jeff Ament (while wearing a Wilt Chamberlain Sixers throwback jersey, nice touch) as Vedder palmed a basketball to his left. That one was followed by "Do The Evolution," with a Julius Erving tribute intro: "First we crawled out of the sea, then we learned to walk upright, and then Dr. J taught us how to fly!" The four show marathon came to a close not with any of the rumored special guests materializing - Vedder had put the kibosh on that earlier in the evening - but with a more than fair share of majestic rockers, including "Jeremy," "Alive" and a particularly powerful after-midnight audience singalong "Better Man," which Vedder said he had added to the set list "because I want to hear this in this building one more time." Before the closing "Yellow Ledbetter," which led into McCready's Hendrix move, the over-the-top intended showstopper was a cover of Neil Young's "Rockin' In The Free World." Jim calls to say that Saturday’s show was his first Pearl Jam show and enjoyed every minute of it. He’s a fan for life. Darren calls to ask why it wasn’t Bruce Springsteen or KISS. Bruce just played there a few weeks ago. Danny’s seen Pearl Jam before and it was religious experience.
"This Is It" took the top spot at the box office this weekend with $21.3 million, bringing the documentary's total gross to $32.5 million since its opening last Wednesday. Despite claiming first place, "This Is It" failed to perform at the $30-$40 million level that Sony had initially hoped for, given the musician's massive fanbase and the attention surrounding his tragic death earlier this summer. Perhaps as a result of the film's less-than-expected intake thus far, "This Is It" will stay in theaters through Thanksgiving, despite being billed as a limited two-week engagement. With the combination of the film's elongated theatrical run and its hefty foreign intake of $68.5 million, the Michael Jackson documentary could come a bit closer to the numbers that Sony and concert promoter AEG initially anticipated.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s 25th anniversary concert took place in two shows on Thursday and Friday in Madison Square Garden in New York. The New York Times reports that both nights had outstanding lineups. Thursday’s show had a classic rock sound and included Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon and Crosby, Stills, and Nash, with Jerry Lee Lewis performing the opening number. Lewis was a member of the first class of inductees in 1986. The second night’s show featured a more edgy sound with artists like U2, Metallica, Ozzy Osbourne, and Lenny Kravitz. Highlights from the two shows will air on HBO on Nov. 29. That’s a big night out. 8:36 – Saturday was the Halloween edition of Neighborhood Hotties. Danny and Metro were fairly well behaved, but some of the contestants were not. There were a couple of guys dressed as Danny in the crowd. Darryl calls to say thanks for the good time; he was dressed as a Ghostbuster. Vixa, dressed as a scantily clad nurse who did a fantastic burlesque striptease. Danny made an audible to do a headstand on a folding chair; it wasn’t as sexy as Vixa’s version. Autumn’s talent was chugging a beer with no hands while blindfolded. It was down to Autumn and Jackie at the end. Jackie wins!

6:02 – Today doesn’t have as much energy as yesterday did, after a Game 2 loss. A bit of a let down, but not a total disappointment. Danny is wearing his sweet, brand new Yankees Suck shirt, that he bought from some guy selling them out of the trunk of his car. Danny doesn’t take notes, but he does have a note from Amy. Apparently Jayson Werth is the new Cole Hamels. She thinks he’s a hottie. She’s more knowledgeable about baseball than Danny, so she watched the game with him, but she wasn’t really paying attention to the game. She went on conversational tangents like telling Danny that the letters in his name can be rearranged to form ‘Abandoned Cute.’ She didn’t want to watch Game 1 with him, so he felt abandoned. Last night he felt distracted. Pedro did very well, but Burnett was just better. Danny takes some calls from guys who have issues with watching big games with their girlfriends or wives. Jim’s girlfriend yells like a dude. Big Al thinks that Amy is a jinx and she shouldn’t watch anymore games with Danny so the Phils can win. There could be something to this.

Jason Berger a ticket distributor in the New York metropolitan area, said the Phillies' 6-1 win in Game 1 aided in driving up prices for the games in Philadelphia. "[The] Yankees' loss has increased demand for World Series tickets from Philadelphia Phillies fans," Berger said. "Prices for this weekend's World Series Games 3 and 4 have increased. Terrace-level seats are starting to become scarce and are fetching $1,100 to $1,250 per ticket. Lower-level field and main-level seats infield are anywhere from $1,750 to $2,250 per ticket." The latest numbers from StubHub.com show the average ticket price for Games 3 and 4 at the Bank at $979, with the range being as low as $90 (standing room, Game 3) to $4,390 (Sec 134-Row 1, Game 4). As of last night, StubHub listed 4,987 tickets available for Game 3 with an average price of $977 and 4,229 tickets with an average price of $1,031 for Game 4. More than 5,000 tickets still remain for Monday's Game 5, holding at an average of $908. How are there thousands of tickets available? Where are the fans? Coming up with $500 for standing room isn’t easy in this economy.
Police charged two Penn State fraternities and two students with misdemeanors Thursday in connection with the death of an 18-year-old freshman who fell onto a concrete stairwell after a night of drinking. University and State College police charged the Alpha Tau Omega and Phi Gamma Delta fraternities each with one count of selling or furnishing alcohol to minors and one count each of unlawful acts relative to alcohol. Joseph Dado of Latrobe was found dead Sept. 21 about 75 yards from Phi Gamma Delta. An autopsy revealed Dado's blood alcohol level. Danny can handle himself at a .08, maybe even surgery. Drinking that much at such a young age without experience is not advisable though. 7:32 – Danny Bonaduce: Life Coach
Tommy, who has a tremendous genetic gift, has trouble keeping a girlfriend because it hurts the girls when having sex. Danny doesn’t have much experience with this. Danny’s initial thought is to date a mother who gave birth to a 14-pound baby. If doctors could make them bigger, they should be able to make them smaller.
Amy’s boyfriend, a cross dresser, gets touchy feely when drinking with other girls. He exudes so much sexuality other girls come up to him and get frisky. He’s planning to go party with Danny at Adelphia’s tonight, but isn’t sure he should be allowed to. Of course he should be allowed to com. Adelphia’s is a classy place, it’s well run and if he gets out of hand he’ll be asked to leave the building.
Jacob has been using steroids, going well beyond what’s recommended. The body can only take so much of anything. Over 30 grams of protein in a three-hour span just gets turned into fat. The body can’t assimilate that much testosterone, so using more than the suggest amount is just wasting money. Danny knew how to use them, but didn’t know how to stop. He found a longevity center that helped him transition off the juice. There could be a mental and physical addiction to using the steroids, so it’s going to take a two pronged attack to kick the habit.
7:51 – Former Eagles punter Sean Landeta. He also played for the Giants among all of his stops in the NFL. 10 in New York, 8 in Philly. He says that the fans are very similar because of geographic location, and has a tough time rooting for one over the other. This is a big time for the Philadelphia/New York rivalry with the World Series and this weekend’s football game. Times were good in New York when he was playing for Parcells. Sean was on the All-80’s and All-90’s NFL teams and there’s only a few players that have the same distinction including Reggie White and Jerry Rice. He’s a fan of McNabb, but the pressure to win a Superbowl ring makes it difficult to appreciate his accomplishments. Once he can make that final step he’ll cement his legacy. Sean whips out his two Giants Superbowl rings and his two Philadelphia Stars USFL championship rings. Danny knows that he can’t put the Giants rings on, so he tries on one of the Stars rings. It’s a nice fit and it could do some damage.

In the middle of Wednesday’s Pearl Jam show at the Spectrum, singer Eddie Vedder called out: “I wonder what the score is.” On cue, a boxing-style ring-card girl bopped onto the stage with a giant scorecard reading, “Phillies 1, Yankees 0.” She kept the crowd updated through the game/show. Vedder dedicated “Wishlist” to his “close personal friend, Raul Ibanez,” “Given to Fly” to Shane Victorino, and “Save You” to Brad Lidge. Nice!
One of singer Miley Cyrus fans has threatened to kill her cat and intended to make a cat dish if the 'Hannah Montana' star does not come back to the Twitter. The singer, who was one of the most popular stars on the social networking site, had deleted her account earlier this month. The Twitter fan of Miley has started a campaign to get Miley back on Twitter. He has even created a website called mileysavefuzzy.com to “raise awareness” about the campaign. The fan has given deadline to Miley to reopen her account by November 16 or he will eat her Fuzzy. The fan explains further, "The idea is very simple. I've set a deadline of November 16, 2009, when Fuzzy will part with his life and become a meal. I intend to make a cat dish according to our ethnic cuisine." Finally a Miley Cyrus story worth getting into on this station. 8:34 – Howard Eskin is on the show to talk about the big weekend that’s on tap. Pedro was good, but Burnett was better. Rivera was sharp too. The Phils got what they wanted, which was a split. The next three games are home, but it isn’t easy to win three in a row in the World Series, so he thinks that it will go back to New York, but the Phils are in good shape. It’s great to want to win two, but it’s not an easy task. They don’t have a great Game 2 record over the past few years. This year the umpires have been on the hot seat with all the blown calls. Could there be more replay reviewed calls? It wouldn’t be good for the game, managers would use it as a tactic to stall games and interrupt momentum of pitchers. Football refs don’t get all the calls right with replay, so get on with the game they’re long enough as it is. On to the Eagles! The Giants have been exposed as a team with an unstable defense. Although the Birds won last week, they’re still not as sharp as they should be. Howard thinks that the Eagles won’t win Sunday. The Giants will have revenge on their minds after last year. He also thinks that Westbrook just might take the field too. If Stacy Andrews can step up on the offensive line and if the play calling eliminates the Wildcat, the Eagles could improve in the second half of the season and make a serious run. At the moment the Saints and the Vikings are the class of the conference. What Howard really wants is more music from Shawn Andrews.
9:05 – Alan Markowitz, author of The Topless Prophet: The True Story of America's Most Successful Gentleman's Club Entrepreneur, is in the studio. He owns the Penthouse Club here in Philly and many other locations in the country. Alan had to testify against an organized crime family. The FBI asked him about a meeting in which they had an informant preset, and got Alan to testify as to what happened at the meeting. Alan was shot by a dancer after he fired her. He walked in on her getting a little too friendly with a customer, fired her, and she took exception to his business decision. Alan’s doing well enough to own a private jet. Maybe Danny will shoot him out of jealousy. Alan was shot a second time? What are the odds of that? He was shot by an off duty cop who got into an argument with a dancer, he stormed out, grabbed his gun and started firing away. Alan was just in the line of fire. He took it in the face, right in the cheekbone. The book just came out so check it out when you get a chance, it sounds like a good read. 9:35 – Gibbons is showing off his Halloween costume, he is the very topical Balloon Boy. It was designed by his saintly mother. Danny is saving his costuming for Saturday. He’s the one jerk in the office that comes to work dressed up for the big holiday.

Police are investigating a shooting outside a North Philadelphia McDonald's that left three teens hospitalized Thursday afternoon. The shooting happened at about 5:00 p.m. outside a McDonald's in the 3100 block of W. Allegheny Avenue in the city's Nicetown section. According to police, the incident started as a fight at an area high school over a girl and ended with shots being fired at the restaurant.

A college field hockey team from East Stroudsburg University is forfeiting its playoff games following allegations of student hazing. Officials did not give details of the allegations in announcing the forfeits on Thursday. A statement posted on the school's Web site says the hazing claims are being "vigorously" investigated, and that officials are looking into possible staff involvement. Officials say the matter has been referred to law enforcement. East Stroudsburg had been scheduled to play Shippensburg University on Friday in the first round of the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference playoffs. The team also won't participate in the NCAA Division II championships.
Danny’s Final Thought: Alan got shot in the face. If that’s what it takes to have that kind of life, take out your gun and give me a jet. Because I want it.

6:02 – Where to start? Danny could know everything about baseball now. The Phils won Game 1 of the 2009 World Series and Danny saw it all. Some local television anchors didn’t make it all the way through the game. A very important game. If you have to be up early, take a nap or lie about it. Danny is working on increasing his sports knowledge, but he knows that Cliff Lee was pitching out of his mind and Chase Utley came up with some big hits. He was surprised that his fiancée is quite knowledgeable about baseball, it’s not a topic that comes up in their conversations very often. Two great catches, 10 strike outs while pitching a complete game. Incredible. While Utley was very good, Cliff Lee was operating on another level.
6:14 - Danny takes a few calls from some fired up Phillies fans. One guy wants Amy dead because she declined to watch the game with Danny. Another guy pointed out that a goon Yankees fan in the outfield could be seen flipping Chase Utley off after his second homerun. One dude, a New York fan, thinks that this is just one game in a long series and Cliff Lee can’t pitch every game.
6:45 – SPORTS:
Philadelphia Phillies starter Cliff Lee dominated with his pitching Wednesday night, showboated with his fielding and let teammate Chase Utley have a little fun, too. The Phillies, showing no fear and sneering at the perception of being scared at Yankee Stadium, humbled the New York Yankees 6-1 in Game 1 of the World Series. "I don't feel like we're intimidated," said Utley, who hit two home runs off Yankees ace CC Sabathia, marking the first left-handed hitter to hit two World Series homers off a lefty since Babe Ruth in 1928. "We all have confidence. We believe that we can play with the best of them."
Brian Westbrook will be a game-time decision for the Philadelphia Eagles against the New York Giants on Sunday after suffering a concussion earlier this week. "We'll see how he does this week," Eagles head coach Andy Reid said Wednesday. Westbrook was knocked unconscious in the Eagles 27-17 win over Washington on Monday night when he took a knee to his head in the first quarter. The NFL instituted a rule in 2007 that states a player who loses consciousness during the course of a game cannot return to that game.
Dwight Howard had 21 points and 15 rebounds, Vince Carter scored 15 points and the new-look Orlando Magic rolled to a 120-106 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday night in the season opener for both teams. The Sixers’ season has started? Who’d have guessed?

A Philadelphia woman who was arrested for allegedly offering to sell her body in exchange for World Series tickets spoke out yesterday. Police in Bensalem say Susan Finkelstein, 43, solicited an undercover police officer to perform sex acts for World Series tickets. The undercover officer connected with Finkelstein after seeing her ad on Craigslist that read: "Desperate Blonde Needs WS Tix." Investigators said undercover officers met with Finkelstein at a bar in Bensalem and that her offer was simple. "She basically said that she would trade sexual favors for a Phillies ticket. She was creative, she didn't have any money. I don't know what the Series tickets are going for, but she decided that she would give herself up for some World Series tickets," Harran explained. Finkelstein has been charged with Soliciting Prostitution and related offenses. "I don't believe I did anything wrong, so it's hard to say I would do something different if I believed that I was innocent in my actions," Finkelstein explained.
The possibility of a SEPTA strike during a weekend in which the World Series comes to Philadelphia means serious headaches for commuters. In anticipation of that possibility, SEPTA has released a 'Service Interruption Guide' to help customers prepare for any possible disruptions to service. Negotiations between the two sides are ongoing, and SEPTA remains hopeful a deal will be reached and the strike averted.
The following services would not run in the event of a TWU Local 234 strike:
• Broad Street Line and Broad-Ridge Spur
• Market-Frankford Line
• All City Transit bus, trolley and trackless trolley routes
• Frontier Division bus routes
There’s a smart chess game going on that could affect all the fans, hopefully danger is averted though. Let’s avoid this hassle.
A Scranton man, apparently dissatisfied with a Luzerne County car dealership, was arrested Tuesday after he allegedly torched a van following a test drive. John Walton Jr., 58, was charged with suspicion of reckless endangerment and terroristic threats for the incident at Coccia Ford. Police said Mr. Walton was at the dealership complaining that the van he had purchased there six months earlier was having transmission problems. A salesman went for a test drive on Route 315 with Mr. Walton, but when he told him he didn't hear a problem with the transmission, Mr. Walton became upset and began accelerating, reaching speeds exceeding 100 miles per hour, according to an affidavit. Mr. Walton put the van into an uncontrollable skid, and when it slowed down, the salesman jumped from the moving vehicle and called police. When police responded to Coccia Ford, they saw Mr. Walton setting fire to the van in front of the dealership. 7:30 – Danny Bonaduce: Life Coach

Oprah Winfrey is so worried her former lover Stedman Graham will spill her secrets, she’s prepared to offer $150 million to buy his silence, it has been claimed. The pair — who had been together since 1986 — apparently split in August after Graham told Winfrey he was “tired of being disrespected” and moved out of their luxury 5,000- square-foot Chicago apartment. According to the National Enquirer, Oprah is also struggling to overcome a mountain of personal and professional headaches. The Enquirer wrote many awful things about Danny over the years, but they were all true. They’re accurate, but they also have no standards. She’s admitted to drug use in the past and so many skeletons in her closet, what does Stedman have on her that she’s offering up that much money? Admit the faults and take the power out of the hands of other people.
8:17 – Robert Englund, the original Freddie Krueger, is on the show. A Nightmare on Elm Street is stating filming soon. Danny can’t decide if Freddie is a monster or a villain, but a tremendous character. Robert’s cool with the remake and feels the new technology has something to offer the series. Robert has a new book, Hollywood Monster, about his life in horror movies and working in Hollywood through the years. Robert is Freddie Krueger to many people, but he’s just grateful to have a career that’s lasted so long and worked on so many projects. 8:36 – Who Would Win In A Fight: Freddie Krueger vs. Jason Vorhees vs. Michael Myers
Metro takes Freddie, even though he’s never seen Nightmare, Halloween, or Friday the 13th. He chose Freddie because Robert Englund was just on the show and Freddie can stalk you in your dreams. Spike goes with Jason Vorhees, citing that Freddie’s not a factor because he only has power in the dream world and Michael and Jason have no fear. Jason has come back more times than Michael Myers has. Danny takes Freddie too. The glove, the fashion statement, and he can make people kill themselves in their sleep. He’s more memorable to Danny than the other two.
Angela calls to take Freddie and he’s more nimble than the other two. Magnum takes Jason, Freddie’s a coward and Michael isn’t that smart, Jason is ruthless. Zoli takes Freddie. Tom takes Jason for his memorable kills. Alex takes Michael because of a discussion he had at a haunted house with a Michael Myers. Matt takes Freddie because he’d let Jason and Michael kill each other. Pat takes Jason because he cannot be stopped. John takes Freddie because Jason failed to kill Corey Feldman. Jason narrowly takes the phone vote. Freddie takes the text vote. The tie breaker goes to the guys in the room, so Freddie wins!
9:09 – Joel McHale from The Soup is on the show. He and Danny have a long history of fun stuff. Joel doesn’t tease Danny about his height because Danny could rip out his spleen. Joel also has a new comedy on NBC, Community. Danny digs the show and thinks that Joel makes Chevy Chase likable, which isn’t easy. Joel likes working with Chevy and they’re taping an episode with Anthony Michael Hall, which is like a Vacation reunion. The women of The View were slightly hurt that he makes so much fun of them on The Soup. Danny went into the lion’s den called The View and subjected himself to some hostile questions. With two young kids and doing two television shows Joel doesn’t get much time to sleep. He does it all standing over six feet tall. Danny’s jealous.
9:58 – Danny’s neck and head hurt from the flurry of punches from Bernard Hopkins yesterday. No normal person would decide to let Hopkins punch them once, let alone multiple times. That’s what makes Danny special.

Danny Bonaduce Show 10/28/09
6:02 – If anything big happened in the world, like a nuclear holocaust, Danny doesn’t know about it yet. He slept through the day after Tuesday’s show after suffering a lack of sleep for the previous two days. To make it up to himself and the audience, Danny came in an hour early to hang out with Monk and put in the time he missed from being late recently. He takes a lot of pride in what he does and can’t stand if the show suffers, so he wanted to make up for it and did. With Danny’s history, if he’s not somewhere on time, minds start to jump to worst case scenario and that’s something he’s worked very hard to fix.
6:17 – The World Series starts tonight and Danny is fired up, even if he’s not the biggest sports fan. Some listeners call in to say they’re tired of New York newspapers ragging on the Phillies and their fans. Metro’s all for punching some New Yorkers in the face; Danny would like to also, but doesn’t want to give up the money in legal fees that would follow. Maybe they could bet a New York radio station punches in the face if there’s any show there willing to step up. 6:39 – SPORTS:
Shane Victorino got caught in the middle of a battle between two cities Tuesday. Shane was on the cover of the New York Post. The photo was doctored to show him wearing a cheerleading skirt. The headline read: "Gotham trembles: The Frillies are coming to town." "It's fun," Victorino said during the team's media day at Yankee Stadium. "It's sexy. At least my legs look good." Victorino wondered why the Post chose him. "What did I do to be the villain?" he said. "We haven't played a game yet." The World Series has rapidly turned into a war of words between New York and Philadelphia. Smart move. He came off humble and didn’t come off bitter.
Jimmy Rollins has done pretty well making predictions. His latest is sure to rile up New York Yankees fans. "Of course we're going to win," he said on The Jay Leno Show on Monday night, two days before Game 1 of the World Series. "If we're nice we'll let it go six (games), but I'm thinking five. Close it out at home." Jimmy’s been on a tear with predictions lately, so go Phils!
Simon Gagne has two small hernias in his right groin and could face surgery. Asked before Philadelphia's game at the Washington Capitals on Tuesday whether an operation is likely, Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren said: "I can't really say for sure.

Andre Agassi's upcoming autobiography contains an admission that he used crystal meth in 1997 and lied to tennis authorities when he failed a drug test — a result that was thrown out after he said he "unwittingly" took the substance. According to an excerpt of the autobiography posted on The Times of London Web site Tuesday, the eight-time Grand Slam champion writes that he sent a letter to the ATP tour to explain the positive test, saying he accidentally drank from a soda spiked with meth by his assistant "Slim." "Then I come to the central lie of the letter," Agassi writes. "I say that recently I drank accidentally from one of Slim's spiked sodas, unwittingly ingesting his drugs. I ask for understanding and leniency and hastily sign it: Sincerely. "I feel ashamed, of course. I promise myself that this lie is the end of it. The ATP reviewed the case — and threw it out." Danny accidentally tried meth once, it looked like cocaine to him. He found it tough to function on, he thought his head was going to pop off. Heroin was a onetime mistake too, he didn’t get to enjoy the high because he was too busy vomiting.

Mayor Nutter and his New York counterpart Michael Bloomberg made a bet to nourish their communities instead of their stomachs. If the Phillies win, Bloomberg will don a Phillies' jersey and volunteer for a community service project in the City of Brotherly Love. If New York wins the Fall Classic, Nutter promises to come to the city and participate in a volunteer service project while dressed in Yankee pinstripes. Normally Danny despises these bets, but the Nutter/Bloomberg bet does something for the people.
The Federal Aviation Administration on Tuesday revoked the licenses of the two Northwest Airlines pilots who overshot their Minneapolis destination by 150 miles. The pilots - Timothy Cheney of Gig Harbor, Wash., the captain, and Richard Cole of Salem, Ore., the first officer - told safety investigators they were working on their personal laptop computers and lost track of time and place. The pilots, who were out of communications with air traffic controllers for 91 minutes, violated numerous federal safety regulations in the incident last Wednesday night, the FAA said in a statement. The violations included failing to comply with air traffic control instructions and clearances and operating carelessly and recklessly, the agency said. 7:31 – Danny Bonaduce: Life Coach
Freddie rides a bike with one leg; he lost his left leg in a drunk driving accident, but wants some words of inspiration from Danny about determination. Freddie signed up for a 12 mile bike race and worries he won’t complete it. There will be people there with two legs that will quit. Just to try is enough. Heather Mills was on Dancing with the Stars with one leg, so this is completely doable. Freddie might not finish, but he’ll show up and try.

Ruth had a 21 year-old birthday party for her son and Ruth’s niece and her dirtbag boyfriend showed up to steal all the birthday cards with cash in them. How does she know it was him? One of the workers at the bar told her that the dirtbag boyfriend took the bag with the cards. It seems hard to get legal justice. If she’s not willing to go through all the paperwork to do it the right way, sending someone to break his legs is the wrong move. It turns out the dirtbag deals drugs, but she doesn’t know what kind. She needs to put the effort in and do the research so she can get him arrested for the drug dealing. If she can identify the day he gets a new shipment in, make an emergency call to the police. There’s your revenge.

She’s a busy girl, putting out video games and looking to launch a franchising opportunity to have Elviras in malls across the country that will act like Santas for Halloween.

A former writer for David Letterman said she quit his NBC talk show in part because of alleged sexual favoritism and a hostile work environment. Nell Scovell, writing for Vanity Fair online Tuesday, said she had no intention of filing a lawsuit and wasn't seeking revenge. "I wanted to shine a light on gender inequality in that particular workplace," Scovell, who went on to a successful Hollywood career, said in a telephone interview. In the Vanity Fair article, Scovell said Letterman didn't "hit on her" during her roughly five-month stint with NBC's "Late Night with David Letterman" in 1990. "Did he pay me enough extra attention that it was noted by another writer? Yes. Was I aware of rumors that Dave was having sexual relationships with female staffers? Yes," Scovell wrote. Danny thinks this is a lie. Letterman’s show isn’t suffering from poor decisions made because of sexually driven decision and if she didn’t tell him why she quit then he doesn’t know.

Bernard’s a Danny fan, he’s been to a few of Danny’s fights. Bernard is tuning up for a match against Roy Jones, Jr. with a tough match against contender Enrique Ornelas at The Liacouras Center on the campus of Temple University on December 2, bringing the long standing Philadelphia past time of boxing back to his hometown. This is the next chapter of a 17-year saga between Hopkins and Jones. Danny appreciates Jones technique, but he never challenged himself with the opponents he chose. Hopkins points out that Jones cherrypicked more than a few of his opponents. Danny, a tremendous boxing fan, is bouncing off the walls right now. One of the great moments in Danny’s boxing careers was seeing Hopkins on the way to the ring to fight Bob Levy, asking Hopkins to sign his glove, and knocking Levy out with the signature on his glove. Bernard takes some calls from fans who love to cheer on their hometown champ. Why is Jones willing to go into the ring when he doesn’t need the money? He wants to knock Jones out.
8:57 – It’s time for Bernard to pepper Danny with some punches. Bernard lands an incredible flurry of punches; the last 10 send a message. Bernard isn’t winded, but he is breathing a heavy. Danny however, is winded. One of the greatest boxers ever, Philly’s own Bernard Hopkins!

An Idaho junior hockey team was banished temporarily from a city ice rink after players engaged in a game of "strip hockey" — shedding a piece of uniform every time a practice shot missed its mark. As redress for last Wednesday's incident, Boise forbid the Idaho Junior Steelheads team from using Idaho Ice World for four days; one 17-year-old player who shed his underwear briefly was suspended until next week. In addition, police are investigating, a spokeswoman said Tuesday. Doug Holloway, Boise's recreation superintendent, says rink employees told him the shootout drill went like this: "If they missed a shot, they had to take off a glove. If they missed another, they had to take off another glove. And so on, and so forth." An adult whose young daughter was on an adjacent rink saw the 17- to 20-year-old Steelheads skating in their skivvies and complained to a city hotline. Worst idea ever. A rink full of naked men on cold ice is NOT a good time. Danny once accept an award from Harvard in the nude on a cold day.

Linebacker Will Witherspoon returned an interception for a touchdown and forced a fumble, leading to a David Akers field goal at FedEx Field. The Eagles (4-2) played the majority of the game without running back Brian Westbrook, who left the game in the opening quarter with a concussion.
Danny takes a call from a listener who found an article from a second-rate New York newspaper that trashes the Phillies and the fans. It’s not wise to mess around with us.

What could a dog do to justify this?
Damien Young was on his way to a new job in Phoenix and wanted to make the flight with his 9mm pistol. But he tried to side-step the rules, and today paid for it in federal court. Young, 29, who has since lost the job as a health care business analyst, was ordered to serve eight weekends in a halfway house and spend five years on probation. On June 4, Young tried to sneak the handgun aboard a U.S. Airways flight with the help of a friend, Roshid Milledge, a U.S. Airways customer-service representative, according to court documents. Milledge, who was Young's roommate before the move, allegedly smuggled the handgun into Philadelphia International Airport through an employee entrance. Young then met Milledge at the customer-service counter, where Young took the bag containing the gun. The two, however, were seen by a passenger who alerted authorities. The jet was stopped on the runway and police and airline officials ordered Young to take his two pieces of carry-on luggage and leave the airplane. The guy had all the right licensing for the gun and people can walk around with guns in Arizona. Why would he do that? 7:31 – Danny Bonaduce: Life Coach

Witherspoon had a tremendous debut as middle linebacker. This team is too talented to have just a decent season; they’re capable of playing better football than this. It’s too early to start talking about the Superbowl though. A game without Westbrook against a Giants team that dropped two in a row makes Merrill nervous. McCoy was able to hold onto the ball, but Westbrook’s not out for the season just yet. DeSean Jackson had a tremendous game, but Merrill gives the game ball to Witherspoon for coming in to a new defense and playing such a great game.

Spade is so wounded by the criticism of his new ad "starring" his dead pal Chris Farley that he's come forth with a heartfelt statement from his publicist. "When DIRECT TV came to me and the Farley family with this idea about 'Tommy Boy,' we talked and thought it would be a cool way to remind people just how funny Chris was. It is a clever homage to my friend and a movie that we loved doing, " he says. What’s really distasteful? Letting one’s self become a 400 lb. drug addicted alcoholic who robbed the public of laughter. Danny sees fault with Farley, not as much the satellite company.
Wrestling legend and reality TV star Hulk Hogan reveals in a new book that he would have committed suicide were it not for a surprise phone call, according to a story in the New York Daily News. Hulk Hogan says a call from co-star Laila Ali saved his life. Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, credits boxer and "Gladiators" co-star Laila Ali with making the call that prevented him from taking his own life. In his new book "My Life Outside the Ring," the former wrestler describes how he hit rock bottom after breaking up with his wife of 23 years, Linda, and coping with his son Nick's accident in which he lost control of Hogan's Toyota Supra. Hulk is a friend of Danny’s, but if you can’t complete the easier job in the world, then you’re a failure. Danny feels for Hulk though, but he doesn’t think about putting a gun to his own head, but the heads of his ex-wife and her boyfriend that live in the house he pays for. 8:32 – PJ, a Philaelphia Lawyer who wishes to stay anonymous, has written a book , Happy Hour Is for Amateurs: A Lost Decade in the World's Worst Profession, exposing some of the illegal behavior court employees are participating in. It’s creative non-fiction, it’s written to be conversational book about the judicial system run wild. There are so many people working miserable, tedious jobs so they need to cut loose. Usually when Danny deals with lawyers in court he’s told to shut up, there’s never any orgies or drinking fun. The lawyers learn to work with the judges to appease them and get what they want at the same time. There’s all sorts of political ego massaging behind closed doors. It is a career and lifestyle that leads to paranoia and divorce though. As much time as Danny has spent in court, he was unaware of the dark side of the industry. The system is so financially draining that it’s just easier to settle out of court. Danny’s been sued by more than a few people, including Jonny Fairplay who sued him for something that was caught on tape and replayed on television. Danny’s lawyer was $750 an hour. Outrageous.

An Illinois man has admitted banking more than $470,000 in paychecks from a New Jersey company he never worked for. Anthony Armatys, 35, of Palatine, Ill., pleaded guilty Monday in New Jersey Superior Court to one count of theft as part of a plea bargain. Prosecutors say Armatys accepted a job with Basking Ridge, N.J.-based telecommunications company Avaya Inc. in September 2002, then changed his mind. But the company's computer system never removed his name from the payroll. Paychecks were deposited into his bank account until February 2007, when Avaya auditors discovered the mistake. Prosecutors are recommending a six-year prison term and restitution. Sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 8. This is entrapment, they sent him the money!

6:02 – Danny could have had the worst weekend without jail or a hospital possible. He was at the Exotic Erotic Ball and none of the other co-hosts, including Tila Tequila and Coolio, showed up. There was lots of flesh and fun and also booked a comedy gig in the area to pay for the trip. The flights were paid for, but that’s where the good news ends. There was no car to pick them up and when they got to the club, it was burnt to the ground. No one let Danny know while he was on his way out. Danny went on a wild goose chase that totaled over $200 in taxi fare. There was no bar at the hotel, nowhere to get vodka, but Danny put his credit card down to cover incidentals. The First Amendment panel that Danny was going fired up to take part of to kick off the Exotic Erotic Ball was canceled. Then Danny learned that the club wouldn’t cover his hotel, airfare, or taxi fare. Mark calls to tell Danny that he went to his deceased father’s house to get it ready for sale and ever room in the house is moldy making it unsellable. That’s bad, but not as bad as Danny’s weekend. Joe had a great weekend with his girlfriend and then he had to go home to his wife. Chris’s girlfriend bought herself an engagement and cleared out his checking account. Danny feels better, but he’s still the guy that went where Tila Tequila and Coolio refused to. 6:44 – SPORTS:
Andy Pettitte pitched the Bombers to a 5-2 win over the Angels Sunday night in Game 6 of the American League Championship Series, clinching the 40th pennant in Yankees history and a showdown with the Phillies in the World Series. "This is what you play for, a chance to get back to the World Series," Derek Jeter said. "It feels good to get back. I'm real proud of this team, but we still have four more wins to get." Pettitte tossed 6-1/3 innings of one-run ball, making the Yankees' three-run fourth inning hold up to earn his 16th career postseason victory, the most in history. Danny used to live in New York and moved because he didn’t like it.

Phillips' acknowledgment Wednesday of his relationship with 22-year-old Brooke Hundley was splashed across the New York tabloids for days, embarrassing the Bristol, Conn.-based sports giant. What’s wrong with interoffice sex if it’s consensual? Sex is one of the three people to live after all.

About 1,200 members of SEPTA's largest union voted unanimously today to strike as early as the end of this week if no contract is reached with management. Transport Workers Union Local 234, which represents bus drivers, subway and trolley operators, and mechanics, has been without a contract since early spring. A potential walkout could come on the eve of the Phillies' three-game home stand for the World Series, that starts Saturday - creating a transportion nightmare for those trying to get to and from the games. "(Today's vote) let's me know that everyone is on the same page as I am," said Willie Brown, president of Transport Workers Union 234, which represents about 5,000 members. "This will absolutely be the last week we work without a contract, so if we don't reach a new contract by week's end, we will go on strike. "This is no joke. This is no hoax," Brown said. "It's gonna happen." With all the events at the Spectrum, Citizens Bank Park, and the Linc over the next 10 days it’s smart, but it isn’t nice.

The mother of the 6-year-old boy once feared missing inside a runaway helium balloon told Colorado sheriff's deputies that the whole saga was a hoax, according to court documents. Mayumi Heene admitted to deputies that she and her husband, Richard, "knew all along that Falcon was hiding in the residence" in Fort Collins, according to an affidavit used to get a search warrant for the home. She reportedly told investigators that the incident was a hoax meant to make them more marketable to the media. Danny called this a hoax when the balloon was still in the air.

Days after his interview with The Onion's A.V. Club, Bronson Pinchot has amended some of his less-than-kind observations about Tom Cruise and Denzel Washington. The Wall Street Journal contacted the Perfect Strangers star to clarify his widely publicized comments about two of Hollywood's biggest stars. Pinchot suggested his theater background played a role in how he viewed Cruise's "homophobic" comments on the set of 1983's Risky Business. About Washington, whom Pinchot called "abusive" and one of the most unpleasant people he's ever met, he did a little less backpedaling. "I regret my choice of words there," Pinchot said. "[I] would like to amend my statement by saying I found his willingness to be ungenerous, unkind, knowingly hurtful both mentally and physically to myself and the crew to be the saddest misuse of stardom I have ever experienced or hope to experience." Tom Cruise is gonna sue. Denzel is just gonna beat his ass. Bronson is not anyone to get in a war of words with, but odds are he can’t hold his own in a fight.
Charlize Theron kissed a girl - and the charity that'll benefit must have liked it! The liplock went for $140,000 at a charity auction for the organization OneXone Thursday night in San Francisco. The statuesque South African actress, 34, appeared at a live auction event and gala for the group, which works to improve the overall health and living conditions of children in living in poor countries. Theron at first offered a 2010 South Africa trip - complete with World Cup tickets, a safari trip and a chance to meet Nelson Mandela. When bidding lagged at $37,000, Theron reportedly raised the stakes by tossing in the kiss and the bidding war began. A female attendee outbid a man in the audience by $5,000 to win the kiss. The only reason Piven got more money is because the bids were for his removal from the room. 8:31 – Howard Eskin is on the show to talk about Eagles football and the Phils against the Yankees for the World Series. After losing in Oakland last week the Eagles can take first place in the division with a win against the Redskins tonight. Howard doesn’t believe the Birds will lose tonight, it doesn’t hold true to the traits of an Andy Reid team. Many opinions of the Eagles will change if they don’t win tonight. Howard doesn’t always say what people want to hear, but staying honest keeps him employed, no matter the fan reaction. Witherspoon has speed, more than Trotter, who was exposed last week. Trotter might get ten plays. Getting Witherspoon was a move that had to be made. Todd Herremans and Jason Peters should both be on the field, despite playing hurt, which should improve the offensive line. Eskin predicts an Eagles win by 10 points. Howard also thinks that we’ll see less and less of Vick because the Wildcat isn’t working out with him. Moving onto the World Series, playing the Yankees makes traveling easier than having to fly across the country. Winning the World Series is enough satisfaction, but playing the Yankees would put a little frosting on that cake. The Yankees are the early favorites in the Series. The teams have interesting matchups, but it should come down to pitching and Howard would take the Yankees starters and bullpen over the Phils. But this is why we play the game. He thinks it’ll be a draining 6 or 7 game series. The Phils did beat Sabathia in the NLDS last year and took 2 out of 3 against the Yankees earlier this year, but the chemistry of both teams has changed.

CC Sabathia and Cliff Lee began texting each other a week ago, but kept their notes private. Now that the New York Yankees and Philadelphia Phillies are set to meet, the former teammates can share their message with everyone: See ya in the World Series, buddy!

Ryan Howard and the defending champion Phillies against Alex Rodriguez and the pinstripers in Game 1 Wednesday night. The Yankees clinched their 40th World Series trip and first since 2003 by beating the Los Angeles Angels 5-2 Sunday night in Game 6 of the AL championship series. The Phillies were already waiting after dispatching the Los Angeles Dodgers in five games in the NLCS. Surviving years in Cleveland will make anyone bond.
A Morrisville man, arrested Oct. 16 for exposing himself to two women, has been charged in connection with three other lewd acts and, according to police, also was arrested in Hamilton for a similar incident. Michael Parziale, 33, allegedly exposed himself and started committing a lewd act after his car pulled up alongside two women in the parking lot outside of Petsmart at the Court at Oxford Valley Shopping Center on Oct. 16. Police responding to the scene were able to locate Parziale's car in a different part of the shopping center and victims were able to provide a positive identification. That has to be an interesting police lineup.

One person was arrested for each of the following: aggravated assault, defiant trespassing, firearms violation, propulsion of a missile, fireworks and public intoxication.

Soupy Sales, the rubber-faced comedian whose anything-for-a-chuckle career was built on 20,000 pies to the face and 5,000 live TV appearances across a half-century of laughs, has died. He was 83. Sales died Thursday night at Calvary Hospice in the Bronx, New York, said his former manager and longtime friend, Dave Usher. Sales had many health problems and entered the hospice last week, Usher said. At the peak of his fame in the 1950s and '60s, Sales was one of the best-known faces in the nation, Usher said. Danny never thought Soupy was funny, but he did like the segment where Soupy would ask kids to mail in cash from their parents wallets.

MSNBC anchor Contessa Brewer needs to study up on her Civil Rights leaders after mistaking the Rev. Jesse Jackson for the Rev. Al Sharpton on live television. Brewer made the slip up during a segment on homelessness that aired Wednesday, and even fired a question after the boneheaded introduction. The unperturbed Jackson stared calmly into the Burbank, Calif. studio camera, and said “I’m Rev. Jesse Jackson.” Brewer immediately apologized after Jackson corrected her, blaming the teleprompter for supplying a misleading script, which said to introduce “the Rev. Al Sharpton.” “We all know who you are, Rev. Jackson,” the anchor said. “I’m so sorry.” Odds are she was looking at the script instead of the monitor with Jackson’s face on it.

While we all know it's bad luck to speculate before the Phillies actually win the World Series, there is one burning question. Who will pay for a parade? Last year, the city paid just over $1 million in police overtime, street cleaning and medical service for the victory romp down Broad Street, according to the mayor's press office. The cost was lessened by $300,000 contributed by about 22 organizations. But this year - after massive budget cuts and a tax boost to balance the city financial plan - does Philly have that kind of scratch? Mayor Nutter yesterday said he didn't want to jinx the team, but did make clear that the city's wallet is thinner this year. If we’re well behaved we’ll get bigger and better parades with every championship we win.
The state Attorney General is urging Phillies fans to be careful whom they choose to get World Series tickets from. Attorney General Tom Corbett tells fans to be on the lookout for shady ticket sellers, questionable travel packages and possible counterfeit tickets offered in newspaper ads, on the Internet or outside stadiums on game days. The 2009 Fall Classic is scheduled to begin with games on October 28th and 29th, in either New York or Los Angeles, along with Philadelphia games scheduled for October 31st and November 1st, along with November 2nd, if necessary. "Phillies fans' hopes for back-to-back World Series wins increases the demand for tickets and the likelihood of scams," Corbett said. "Fan enthusiasm can serve as a good cover for con artists who are trying to take advantage of consumers for financial gain, so it is essential that people know what to avoid and understand the law." You have to have your guard up when dealing with scalpers because they’re breaking the law to begin with.
Federal officials said Thursday they are investigating whether pilot fatigue was a factor in a Northwest Airlines jet overflying the Minneapolis airport by 150 miles before crew members discovered their mistake and turned around.

Northwest's parent, Delta Airlines Inc., said the jet carried 144 passengers and five crew members. Since the planes go so fast they could have shut their mouths, not told anyone, and gotten away with missing their destination.

"We want to be remembered not for being the first team to lose 10,000 games but for the team that's the best of their time." The Phillies have won 18 of their last 23 postseason games. They have won 11 of 12 home playoff games since 2008, outscoring the opposition 64-29.
ESPN Baseball analyst Steve Phillips, in acknowledging a relationship being reported today, said, "I am deeply sorry that I have put my family and colleagues through this. It is a personal matter that I will not comment on further. "I have, however, asked for a leave of absence to address this with my family and to avoid any unnecessary distractions through the balance of the baseball playoffs." The former Met general manager, whose tenure with the team was rocked by admissions of infidelity, confessed to his wife and local cops that he had slept with ESPN assistant Brooke Hundley several times this past summer before dumping her. In retaliation, the jilted young woman repeatedly phoned Phillips' wife, Marni, saying, "We both can't have him!" an explosive police report claims. The reason to get rich and famous is to get chicks.

Hundreds of Phillies fan streamed out of restaurants, bars and apartment buildings in downtown Philadelphia early Thursday to celebrate their team's second straight trip to the World Series, as revelers honked car horns and set off fireworks in other parts of the city. The mood was one of excitement downtown, but the raucous crowd of about 1,000 gathered on Broad Street remained under control as a dozen mounted police and dozens of officers in riot gear lined the street, making scattered arrests and confiscating alcohol. Traffic from downtown cross streets was closed to Broad Street, a main thoroughfare through the city, and a trumpeter and a trombonist walked among the crowd playing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" and other songs. Danny feels bad for the officers that were selected to grease the poles. That doesn’t sound like an enviable assignment.
Police say a 78-year-old woman was struck and killed by her own vehicle in the 600 block of Roxborough Avenue. Police say the woman was getting out of her vehicle to unload groceries, not realizing, she had not shut her engine off. How does something like this happen? It should be impossible.
Authorities say that 34-year-old Miguel Bell of Philadelphia was able to convince several employees inside some of the region's biggest banks – Wachovia, PNC, and Citizens Bank – to give or sell him personal and account information of customers. Bell then allegedly used that information to steal money and identities. "One of the things about con-men and fraud artists is they are very charming, they are very believable and they sound very persuasive," said U.S. Attorney Michael Levy Wednesday. Bell "even used those charms to romance some of these bank employees." Levy indicted Bell and four others Wednesday for setting up an elaborate identity theft ring that included as many as 26 people. Officials say since 2005, the ring stole $1.3 million from dozens of customers at eight regional banks: Wachovia, PNC, Citizens, Sovereign, Provident, Sun Trust, Commerce (now TD Bank) and M&T Bank. Usually people who commit these kinds of crimes are drug addicts, that’s why they commit these crimes. Smart criminals, good thing the accounts were federally insured. Danny much prefers having to jump through hoops to prove who he is to his bank when they freeze his card for unusual spending patterns. Often the customer service reps don’t believe he is who he is, but who would lie about being Danny? 7:30 – Danny Bonaduce: Life Coach
Sandra didn’t drink while pregnant because if she had one drink she’d have to polish off the bottle. Now that she’s breast feeding and has started drinking, thus giving her baby alcohol. She wants to know how much the baby is getting and how to wean the kid off. Last night she finished off the whole bottle. Two glasses might be slightly acceptable, but a whole 750 ml bottle is passing on tainted milk for about 72 hours. She’s obviously an alcoholic. What she’s doing is going to damage her kid. Sandra’s going to learn how to moderate. Get the baby on formula; pump a few bottles and then drink. Do something to protect the kid.
Katie’s father is emotionally abusive to everyone in the family. Her mother wants to leave the house, but there are plans to sell it. If she leaves the house it’s considered abandonment and there’s a better chance the father will win the house. Is there a way to get a restraining order to get the father out of the house before it’s sold? Katie and her mother want him out, but Katie’s brother is torn. If all three want him out, majority rules. Going to a police station for a restraining order is an option. They’re not impossible to get.
7:51 – Valerie Bertanelli is on the show. She used to work with Danny’s father, who was the executive story editor on One Day At A Time. It was the last show he worked on after an incident with Bonnie Franklin after she changed one of his jokes. Valerie has a new book, Finding It: And Satisfying My Hunger for Life without Opening the Fridge, about staying fit and trim. Traditionally people put the weight they lost back on, so she’s working hard to stay on the right track. Danny’s amazed that Valerie is still on good terms with Eddie after the big divorce. Her perspective is that she wants to love their son more than she dislikes Eddie. Now it’s on to Mackenzie Philips. He thinks that she’s telling the truth and Valerie thinks so too. She’s going to be in Delaware in January, maybe she can make it to Philly then to spend some time with the show. Metro has a bit of a crush on her.

David Letterman reportedly has been recorded on tape having sex with a female staff member - and is worried the footage will be leaked. Letterman, 62, recently admitted to having a series of sexual relationships with some of the women that work for him. The chat show host and a much-younger female co-worker have apparently been captured on a studio surveillance tape in a compromising position. “If the tape makes its way into the criminal case, it’ll explode his marriage to smithereens.” You gotta think this stuff out. Danny agrees that this should end Letterman’s marriage, though he’d still like to see the tape.
Perfect Strangers star Bronson Pinchot spoke out against his past co-stars, calling Tom Cruise homophobic and describing working with Denzel Washington as a "dreadful experience," according to The A.V. Club. Before rising to fame as wacky immigrant Balki in Strangers, Pinchot made his big-screen debut in 1983's Risky Business opposite an up-and-coming Cruise. Pinchot said he and fellow cast members "thought Tom was the biggest bore on the face of the Earth. He was tense and made constant, constant unrelated homophobic comments... He always talked about himself like he was a mega-superstar; that was weird, too." Cruise's publicist, Cheryl Maisel, rebuffed Pinchot's accusations. "Obviously this is so far removed from who Tom Cruise is as a person, this must have been said in jest," she said in a statement. Danny finds this tough to believe about Tom. 8:40 – Who Would Win In A Fight: AC/DC vs. Guns N’ Roses?
Back in Black AC/DC against Appetite for Destruction Guns N’ Roses. Metro takes Guns because Axl is unpredictable, bipolar, and everyone in the band is on drugs. Danny goes with AC/DC because they’re Australian and could be the toughest people on earth. They’re born fighters.
8:46 – Sharon takes AC/DC because their Scottish roots make them ruthless. Mike is another call for AC/DC if Angus lands a kick with his duck walk leg no one’s getting up. Tim is another call for AC/DC because he thinks Axl is a bitch. Mark takes Guns because it’s not AC/DC to him without Bonn Scott. Matt takes AC/DC because the scrawny guys from Guns couldn’t hang tough with the Young brothers. Danny runs though a few calls because the segment is running late. AC/DC wins on the phones and the text vote.
9:03 – Danny has VIP passes to cut the line at the America’s Got Talent auditions here in Philly. Auditions will be held on the 25th and 26th at the Convention Center.
9:11 – Talent people from across the Delaware Valley to show off their talents. Ron sings some Bon Jovi, decent, but not great. Jim from Phoenixville has jokes, they’re not so good. Brenda’s talent is singing. She tries some AC/DC, she might want to get the melody right next time. Steve shreds his guitar with a Metallica song. Steve wants to play the drums for Danny. It’d be nice if his phone didn’t sound like he was stuck in wind tunnel. It’s time to find other people with more talent.
9:34 – Sometimes Danny likes to take chances, like writing the CEO of the company with an idea. Some people thought he was nuts, but the concept was well received. Danny always bets on himself.

Who would you rather the Phillies face, the Yankees or the Angels? They might have a stronger advantage over the Angels, but to face the Yankees and win would shut up a lot of obnoxious idiot Yankees fans. Danny wants to face the Yankees. Spike has an extreme dislike for New York fans.

6:16 – Danny is on the phone, not in the studio. He had been practicing a stunt he planned on performing today, which could be dangerous to his health. The stunt is harder than he thought. He’s on his way to work right now. Danny very well could have a heart attack on the air today. The stunt has something to do with Delilah’s though. What is it? We’ll find out at 9 this morning.
6:28 – Danny invited one of his big bosses to listen to the opening of the show this morning, only to show up late. Danny had a profound idea yesterday to do something special for Delilah’s Queen of the Pole event. The police had a conversation with Danny while he was practicing for the stunt, which apparently is maybe not so legal. He was excused to go about his business, which made him late, but when dealing with police officers you’re always on their schedules, not yours. 6:46 – SPORTS:
Manny Ramirez didn't see Jonathan Broxton give up Jimmy Rollins' two-run double with two outs in the ninth inning of Game 4 on Monday night. Why? Because the Los Angeles Dodgers slugger had already hit the showers. "I saw the highlights and everybody was coming in," Ramirez said Tuesday, a day before Game 5 of the NL championship series between the Dodgers and Philadelphia. "They turned the TV off." Ramirez didn't want to say much else about it. Dodgers manager Joe Torre had no problem with Ramirez not staying in the dugout for the ninth. Torre put Juan Pierre in left field as a defensive replacement with a 4-3 lead. Danny starts out saying that if he was taken out and wasn’t going to play anymore, then it’s no big deal, even though it was the NLCS. But upon further consideration it’s proper to stick around and support your teammates.
The Eagles acquired linebacker Will Witherspoon from the St. Louis Rams on Tuesday for rookie wide receiver Brandon Gibson and a fifth-round pick in 2010. The Eagles made the trade to get Witherspoon, an eight-year veteran who spent his first four seasons with Carolina. He was the Rams' starter at the weakside spot and had 36 tackles and one forced fumble this season. "He's a three-down linebacker, and he can play both the MIKE position and the WIL linebacker position," Eagles coach Andy Reid said of Witherspoon, who will play the middle. "He's very good at both of them. He's a good cover linebacker. He has the flexibility to cover tight ends and running backs and that type of thing, which is a plus." Witherspoon has recorded more than 100 tackles three times in his career and has missed only two games due to injury.
Jason Campbell will remain the Washington Redskins starting quarterback. Coach Jim Zorn said Tuesday that he will stick with Campbell for Monday night's game against the Eagles. Campbell was benched at halftime of Sunday's 14-6 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Todd Collins played the second half, but neither quarterback was able to mount a touchdown drive against a defense that entered the game ranked last in the NFL. Zorn said Campbell missed some open receivers against the Chiefs, but added: "I didn't give up on the young man."
7:04 – Danny’s mom is in the studio. Does she ever sleep? Danny refers to her as the Vampire Bitch. She might not sleep much, but she does read a lot! She tends to stay away from long books because she doesn’t want to die without having finished her last book. She’s leaving Philly soon, but she has a few more performances around town.

While Phillies fans are pumped about a possible return to the World Series, the Philadelphia Police Department will be keeping a close eye in case celebrations get out of hand. Fans overturning cars, tearing down trees and signs, damaging fire trucks and then smashing into a luggage store and helping themselves. To make sure these ugly scenes from the 2008 World Series celebration are not repeated, Philadelphia Police will be taking seats with the best view in the entire city. The seats will not be at Citizens Bank Park, but rather at the police video monitor center where they'll be watching fans, instantly spotting any problems from a network of street corner cameras. "The cameras are throughout the city and we made sure we had some pointed in some key places where problems existed last time," Lt. Frank Vanore explained. Using a joystick, the camera operator alerts a task force of agencies where they are needed. The operator is able to keep a close watch on locations all over the city simultaneously. The police are daring you to loot, don’t fall in that trap.
Bill Clinton told Democratic activists that their friends and neighbors will support the re-election of Gov. Jon Corzine if they're given a chance to think about the issues. Clinton appeared with Corzine in the second of the governor's three consecutive days of high-profile help in his down-to-the-wire campaign against Republican Chris Christie and independent candidate Chris Daggett. Vice President Joe Biden came to New Jersey on Monday; President Barack Obama was scheduled to be at a rally Wednesday. Corzine, speaking in his most fiery voice, introduced Clinton to a crowd of about 1,100 at the Collingswood Ballroom.
Police say a Detroit-area man bit through a neighbor's lips after he picked up a football that accidentally had been tossed onto his lawn by some teenagers. The man was accused of confiscating the football Sunday evening and refusing to return it until a 28-year-old parent walked up to him and asked for the ball. Clinton Township Detective Capt. Richard Maierle said the suspect attacked the man, and "the bite went nearly all the way through his mouth." The man, 44, was arraigned Monday on a charge of assault with intent to maim. That's a 10-year felony. He was being held in the Macomb County jail. Best ‘Get Off My Lawn Story’ ever. Once Danny was sharing a date with a girl, the fruit not the romantic event, when he bit through her lip. Worst date ever. 7:30 – Danny Bonaduce: Life Coach

He makes the statement that they’re the greatest living rock band. What’s the equation to get that result? For the show they put on for their age, he thinks AC/DC could take the Stones at this point. Even in a fist fight. The death of Bonn Scott could have ruined the band, but swapping in Brian Johnson gave them new life. Brian’s voice should have given out on him years ago with all the damage he’s done to it, but the band keeps truckin’ along.

The ninth-season winner of the reality TV show "Big Brother" told a federal agent that he used his $500,000 prize to buy thousands of oxycodone pills and resell them, authorities said. Adam Jasinski, 31, of Delray Beach, Fla., has been charged with attempting to sell 2,000 pills in Massachusetts to a government witness. Federal prosecutors said Jasinski was arrested Saturday after he flew to Boston and showed the witness a sock containing two plastic bags filled with oxycodone, a powerful painkiller that is a popular street drug because of its euphoric effects. As agents tried to arrest Jasinski at a strip mall in North Reading, he struggled and threw the sock under a car parked nearby, Todd Prough, a special agent with the Drug Enforcement Administration, said in an affidavit filed in court. Jasinski won $500,000 on "Big Brother 9" in April 2008. The CBS reality show features contestants who live under constant surveillance and vote once a week to evict each other in hopes of becoming the last houseguest standing and winning the grand prize. Prough said in the affidavit that Jasinski told him that he has been using his winnings to buy thousands of oxycodone pills and has been reselling them along the East Coast for the past several months. He sold them all to Rush Limbaugh! Even if it’s his first arrest he’ll be going to jail. 8:39 – Big game tonight. Hamels makes Danny nervous when he pitches, even though he’s Danny’s favorite pitcher. Fans in this town get emotionally invested in the games and we take losses hard. The Manny shower situation is a straight up dick move. When he plays well the fans love him, but when he makes mistakes his antics get criticized. As long as Hamels win we love him, when he loses he’s Mr. Hollywood. Spike thinks that the Dodgers are broken, even though the games are so slow. Chase Utley is the kind of guy this town loves. Schmidt, as great as he was, didn’t win the fans over because his attitude didn’t match what the fans wanted.

Danny notes that there are many street lights lining Market Street. Danny will be taking calls for listeners as to how long it will take him how long it will take him to get to the top of one of the 40 foot poles and back down. The winner gets to be a guest judge at Delilah’s Queen of the Pole. Danny will be doing this in his tights with no shoes on and no safety net. We’re just minutes away from the insanity.

His chest is a little torn up now. The ladies of Delilah’s put on a better show with more skin though. 9:38 – Danny’s Phillies correspondent, Darren Daulton is on the show now. He was doing an interview at Fox 29 when he looked out the window and saw Danny climbing up the street pole in his underwear. Dutch was happy to hear that the ’93 Phils beat the 2009 Phils in Who Would Win In A Fight last week. Though nobody on the ’93 team went pole climbing in their skivvies.

When he was younger she would sing soft, sweet lullabies. Now she sings like Ethel Merman. Danny took his mom to a sushi restaurant and had some very good martinis, $90 worth. They fixed some drinks while watching the game. When Danny woke up he couldn’t pinpoint what was wrong and he realized he blacked out. With his checkered past, blacking out isn’t good for Danny’s peace of mind. Danny walked downstairs to find that he had taken notes on the game, but had no idea what they mean. The Phils won, so everyone’s in a good mood.
6:13 – Yesterday Danny read an article comparing two men, one is a fairly wealthy man who doesn’t have fun in his life, but has loads of cash. The second man lives it up, but doesn’t make an overwhelming amount of money. Which lifestyle is more attractive, the guy who makes good money and has fun, or the guy that makes fantastic money and no life?
6:21 – Tom takes the money. Frank goes with the money too, the good fun gets old fast. Tim is the first guy to choose fun over money, because life is to be lived. Angie takes the money over the fun. Mike is another call for fun instead of a life with no joy, but lots of cash. Brandon would take the fun because sex with new girls is fun. Sonny takes fun over money because life is short.

Jimmy Rollins curled up to protect himself in the pile and took some playful punches from his teammates. One more win and the Fightin’ Phils will have another World Series trip to celebrate. Rollins lined a two-run double with two outs in the ninth inning off All-Star closer Jonathan Broxton and the Phillies rallied past the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-4 Monday night for a 3-1 lead in the NL championship series. The defending champions can earn their second consecutive pennant with a victory at home in Game 5 on Wednesday night. Cole Hamels, last year’s NLCS and World Series MVP, will take the mound for the Phillies. Clayton Kershaw or Vicente Padilla will start for Los Angeles. “This is big,” Rollins said. “The pressure’s all on them.” Incredible! The Phils have some swagger, up next: Danny’s mancrush Cole Hamels!
Former Eagles right tackle Jon Runyan said he continues to wait for a call from someone who might be interested in having him join their team. Runyan worked out for the Eagles, Chiefs and Bills earlier this season, but is still not back in the NFL. He said his knee, following offseason microfracture surgery, "has taken a turn for the better in the last month" during an interview. During his news conference earlier Monday, coach Andy Reid was asked about whether he was concerned about the offensive line and was considering bringing in new players. "I think we'll be alright," he said.

Upper Darby Police Superintendent Michael Chitwood says 36-year-old George Rogers tried to stab officer Dan Lanni early Sunday morning. Rogers is charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault, terroristic threats and other charges. Chitwood says officers were responding to a call from a man who said he had a crossbow and would burn down his house when they found Rogers barricaded in a bedroom. Chitwood says Rogers tried to stab Lanni with a 13-inch sword but the officer was protected by a Kevlar shield. Another officer subdued Rogers with a stun gun. The Roman short sword helped their army take over the world. As long as the police officer is fine all is good. Danny owns a few swords and some crossbows.
Authorities arrested two Camden County women today for allegedly beating a man to death with a hammer here last week. The body of 23-year-old Winslow Township resident John Quann was found by a hunter in some woods off Hickory Lane near Route 50 and the Atlantic City Expressway shortly before 10 a.m. on Wednesday. Officials with the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office said Thursday that the women -- Ashley McLaughlin, 22, of Winslow Township, and Cynthia Myers, 27, of Camden -- assaulted Quann on Oct. 10 with the intent to rob him. They then drove Quann to the wooded area off of Hickory Lane and beat him to death with hammer, according to the Prosecutor's Office. Evidence shows that the suspects were acquainted with Quann, authorities said. What’s up with chicks?
The lawyer for the wacky Colorado dad at the center of the Balloon Boy scandal said Monday his clients are preparing for an arrest -- and for a fight. Attorney David Lane said he has "no idea whatever so-called evidence" authorities have to prosecute the family or whether they passed a polygraph test. "If that's what they're relying on, they're in trouble," he told "Good Morning America," since polygraph results are not admissible in court. Sheriff's department investigators said they want to question a Denver man named Robert Thomas who claimed Richard Heene had told him months ago he was planning a media stunt to promote a proposed reality show. Thomas, a self-described researcher, sold his story to Gawker.com and gave the Web site e-mails between him and Heene. Thomas said the show would feature Heene as a mad scientist who carries out various scientific experiments. Danny thinks the family is trying to spin it so they pulled their hoax to benefit the American people. 7:34 – Danny Bonaduce: Life Coach

Taking it to the media is a good way to light the fire under their asses; a bad PR nightmare is something they’ll want to avoid.
Evan had called for Life Coach advice a few weeks ago because his fiancé brought up the idea of using a new man for a sperm donor because Ryan has a low count. He walked in on his fiancé with his brother. It’s probably the case that she had sex with the brother so she could get as close to a genetic match to Ryan. On top of that Evan’s brother’s wife was making advances at him. Should he sleep with her to get revenge? No. Sleep with her because it’s fun, not out of vengeance. He needs to get to the bottom of why the brother and the fiancé did what they did. They should be punished, even if they thought they were doing something they thought was nice.

It's not every day that iconic rock stars frequent vacant lots near downtown Camden. But there he was -- Jon Bon Jovi -- surrounded by a horde of volunteers, local dignitaries and curious onlookers on a sunny Monday morning. The New Jersey native has been to Camden previously to give concerts on the waterfront. On Monday, he made his first public appearance in the city not to sing, but to highlight community efforts to fix up blighted lots and an outdated playground. Bon Jovi helped fund both projects this fall through a foundation he started to rebuild communities and assist those living in poverty. It might not be the manliest music, but Danny digs some Bon Jovi. What’s not to like about a guy who gets the chicks.
America's Got Talent judge and former Baywatch star David Hasselhoff is in discussions with A&E for a family documentary series. Hasselhoff's rep would not comment further on the deal saying it's still "very premature." This is doomed for failure.

If he’s lucky Hasselhoff will have a few meltdowns that’ll be caught on camera, that’s what people want to see.
Even if you’ve never heard of R&B singer Rockwell, you know his most famous song, “Somebody’s Watching Me,” which plays during those GEICO commercials featuring piles of bouncing money with eyeballs. Born Kennedy Gordy, he’s the son of Motown Records founder Berry Gordy, although he reportedly signed with the label without his father’s help. Rockwell could have used more nepotism in his career as “Somebody’s Watching Me,” which features his boyhood friend Michael Jackson singing the chorus, turned out to be his only major hit, reaching No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 back in 1984. Now that the song has earwormed its way back into popular culture, Rockwell must be lounging by the pool at his new Miami mansion, right? Probably not, says Dawn Sutter Madell, co-owner of Agoraphone, a Brooklyn-based music supervising company. “I would guess that this is not Rockwell’s golden ticket,” she says. “He’s probably making a flat fee on the publishing side but not much more than that.” Licensing music for television shows isn’t cheap. Danny tried to get a Green Day song on Breaking Bonaduce and it was going to cost him a small fortune.
8:38 – Susan Austin, Madam of the Mustang Ranch and the Wild Horse Ranch. Danny is a big fan of prostitution. If you can give it away for free, why not charge for it? A brothel is classier than standard prostitution. Susan works out of Reno, not Las Vegas. Upon entrance, a man can ask for a lineup where the girls introduce themselves and the man can pick who he’d like. Brothels take the pimp out of the equation and also help the country by paying taxes. Prices vary because the women are independent contractors that average about $300 a turn. Could Danny get a discount for being so nice? Of course. Chuck calls to ask if it’s possible to get more than one girl at once? YES!!! Angel asks if couples are welcome. YES!!! The girls will even put the focus on the wife. How great is that? The girls are willing to cater to every desire and request. Nothing is considered odd.

Some did notice a resemblance between Danny and Dodgers pitcher Randy Wolf. If he’s an athlete, then Danny’s not related to him. Danny’s been mistaken for Jackie Earl Haley more than a few times too. He’s the actor that played Rorschach in Watchmen.

A bankruptcy filing by the Catholic Diocese of Wilmington was the best way to ensure reconciliation and compensation for all victims of clergy sexual abuse in the diocese, the bishop said Monday. The diocese filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection late Sunday after hours of settlement negotiations failed with about a dozen alleged victims, including eight plaintiffs whose cases were scheduled for trial. More than 100 other alleged victims are pursuing compensation through dispute resolution instead of trials. The diocese has paid more than $6.2 million since 2002 to settle eight claims of sexual abuse, with insurance paying $475,000. Its bankruptcy filing lists assets between $50 million and $100 million and liabilities between $100 million and $500 million. Plaintiffs, banks and pensioners were listed as creditors. Is the solution letting priests get married? Once same sex marriages are legal we should see a steep decline in the number of priests in the church
Students at three South Jersey Catholic high schools were forced to cross picket lines in order to get to class Monday. The Catholic Teachers Union voted to strike Monday at Camden Catholic High School in Cherry Hill, Holy Spirit High School in Absecon and Paul VI High School in Haddon Township. Negotiations between the teachers' union and the Camden Diocese failed after the two sides were unable to reach an agreement over pay raises and health benefits. The Camden Diocese said the union requests included "unrealistic salary increases totaling more than 10 percent." Diocese officials said they have proposed salary increases of 5.25 percent over two years and premium co-pay for employees hired on or after September 1, 2009. Despite the strike, all students are expected to report to school on a modified schedule. For more information, parents are encouraged to check the school's Web sites. Obviously the teacher’s money was spent on settling lawsuits.
Officials say a man who appeared to be drunk fell onto train tracks at a New Jersey subway station just before a train ran over him — and he walked away unharmed. Port Authority of New York and New Jersey spokesman Steve Coleman said a 32-year-old man rolled onto the center of the tracks Saturday night at the PATH station in Jersey City. Coleman says a World Trade Center-bound train from Hoboken then rumbled into the station and three-quarters of the train covered the spot where the man had fallen. The man crawled out from under the train unscathed but was taken to Jersey City Medical Center as a precaution. Was he unarmed or unharmed? The real lucky guy is the one that didn’t fall.
A Massachusetts man who allegedly kidnapped a car salesman during a test drive and drove the vehicle more than 1,000 miles is in custody in Wisconsin. Authorities said a Wisconsin State Patrol trooper pulled over a 32-year-old man near Edgerton, Wis. on Friday for speeding, reckless driving and operating a motor vehicle without owner consent. The suspect is expected to be extradited back to Massachusetts to face charges of kidnapping, larceny of a motor vehicle and unarmed robbery. The incident began Thursday afternoon when the man and a Honda car salesman went on a test drive but the man refused to turn back around. The salesman was able to get out of the car when it slowed at a tollbooth near the Massachusetts state line. How great is that?
10:03 – Danny’s Final Thought: The Phillies have beaten the Dodgers with two out in the ninth!
Danny Bonaduce Show 10/19/09
6:02 – Danny’s bummed that the Birds lost, but wants to question Howard Eskin’s prediction on Friday. He’s a pro, how could he be so wrong? On a better note, the Phils blew the Dodgers out. There are going to be a few changes on the show, some segments are moving to new times. Usually in the Bonaduce house his fiancé Amy gets accusatory when Danny writes flirty e-mails to female listeners and wasn’t happy that he was shutting down the computer as she was walking in the room. It made her very suspicious, but he wasn’t up to anything bad. A girl wrote him asking if she could take a bubble bath with Danny, he responded by asking if Amy gets a snorkel, a gentle joke that let the girl know he has a girlfriend. So the tables turned when Danny found an e-mail from a guy who was flirting with Amy at a bar recently. Now she knows how he feels when he’s wrongly accused. You’ll never find anyone more upset than a liar being accused not telling the truth. Like exercise, Danny lies to keep in shape. Danny was at Christine’s Cabaret over the weekend and bought everyone there a drink. He’s got a bar tab of $700. When’s the last time another radio show bought you a drink? 140 drinks.
6:21 – Fisher calls to say that he has a history of being a bad boy, but cleaned up. After being a bad boy he let a friend crash at his house for a bit, which lead to a prison bid because the friend robbed two banks. Amanda was giving the kids a bath while he ran to the store, so she didn’t know the phone was ringing non-stop. That lead to accusations of cheating. Ray had some friends over at the house that left some paraphernalia at his house which got his ass chewed out by his mother in-law, but he was on the straight and narrow. Ted got a late night text from a girl he used to work with over a college football game, but the girlfriend freaked out and caused an argument over nothing. 6:43 – SPORTS:
With a blitzing defense that pressured Donovan McNabb all game, a physical running game and a rare big play in the passing game, the Oakland Raiders looked nothing like what the Philadelphia Eagles saw on film. As stunned as the Eagles may have been by what they saw on the field, the result of the game may have been just as stunning to everyone else. Louis Murphy threw two key blocks to spring Zach Miller's 86-yard touchdown catch, Justin Fargas ran for 87 yards and the Raiders sacked McNabb six times in a 13-9 victory Sunday. Danny was certain that the Birds would win after what all the ‘experts’ said. It was a sad, boring day on the field. There were lots of sprains too.
Cliff Lee cruised through the Dodgers lineup Sunday while Ryan Howard continued to drive in runs as the Phillies won Game 3 of the National League Championship Series 11-0 before a sellout crowd 45,721 towel-waving fans at Citizens Bank Park. After watching the Eagles lose, the Phils game was INCREDIBLE. Danny is falling in love with Cliff Lee, what does that mean for his bromance with Cole Hamels?

The story that a little boy had floated away in a giant helium balloon was a hoax concocted to land a reality television show, authorities said Sunday, and the boy's parents will likely face felony charges. The stunt two weeks in the planning was a marketing ploy by Richard and Mayumi Heene, who met in acting school in Hollywood and have appeared on the ABC reality show "Wife Swap," Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden said. The Heenes have reportedly been working on a reality TV deal in Los Angeles. Those people are going to go to jail. Danny called this hoax early on. Danny knows hoaxes because they’re show business and that’s what he knows. Using a six year-old boy is the kiss of death. Danny knew that the balloon couldn’t carry the kid’s weight. You can’t trust a couple that’s been on a reality show! The parents could get put up on federal charges too. It doesn’t bother Danny that they parents planned this, it’s just the way they went about doing it.
A Montgomery County man says he found a bag of marijuana in a diet soda can that was cleverly rigged to hold the illegal drugs. John McCafferty and his daughter went to Lower Providence Police Sunday night to turn the can and the pot over to authorities. McCafferty said he gave his daughter the soda when she came to visit Sunday, but, the can would not open so he cut it and discovered the hidden compartment. Danny knows the real story. It’s a hollowed can that can be used as a safe. Somehow the dad was caught by the daughter, so he’s doing this to save face. Danny doesn’t know calculus, but he does know hiding places. 7:34 – Danny Bonaduce: Life Coach
Larry isn’t sure he’s still in love with the woman he lives with. They rushed into marriage and after five years he’s not sure. If he’s not sure, don’t do anything. Don’t jump out of a marriage if the need to move on isn’t certain. Danny knew when his marriage was over after 18 years.
Keith has a crazy girlfriend, who likes to give him random drug tests because he smoked pot when he was younger. Drug addicts cheat and lie. Take them until she stops giving them. Keith has scared her into testing him, now he has to earn her trust back.
Chris has a long distance girlfriend who has apparently given him the green light to have other relationships. The only way she’d know if he really did anything is if he told her. What’s really happening is she’s giving herself a pass to cheat so she doesn’t have to justify her behavior.
Don, who is experiencing testicular atrophy after a week of black market steroids. He needs to stop now. Danny has the right doctor for this guy. Longevity centers are the places to go for better information and proper care. Danny cycled on and off for years, but never had any of these side effects.
7:53 – Merrill Reese, the voice of the Eagles, is on the show to talk about yesterday’s game. The Birds should have killed the Raiders yesterday. The Raiders have some good players on defense and Merrill knew that. They have talent, but the team has just been poorly coached over the past few years. The Eagles didn’t beat themselves; they were outplayed by the Raiders for the win. The Eagles offensive line is a mess too. King Dunlop looked lost filling in for Jason Peters. The Birds have to take care of business. On a positive note this week’s game against the Redskins is a great opportunity to bounce back. Merrill had the feeling that the Birds were in for a rough game from the beginning. There are great moments, but it’s not easy being green. What’s the deal with Akers, who missed two field goals? He ended last season on a down note, but Merrill still likes him and considers him one of the best in the NFL.
8:14 – Mike calls to ask where Shila is. She will not be rejoining the show. Danny’s not sure what happened exactly, but does know she won’t be back.

Danny was on the Joy Behar Show. He went into the segment blind, not knowing the topic. Danny killed and had a great segment on Glenn Beck and drinking. He’s been invited to appear on another CNN show soon.
Jon Bon Jovi has a new gig: NBC's Artist in Residence. To promote his new album "The Circle" out November 10th, the 47-year-old singer will appear only on NBC shows for the next two months, from news programs like "Today" to comedy shows like "Saturday Night Live." Bon Jovi revealed to the New York Times that this was all his idea. He told the newspaper he and his manager Jack Rovner then approached NBC Universal boss executive Jeff Zucker with the idea. "So we have to sacrifice certain shows and relationships. We hope this doesn't jeopardize any of them," Bon Jovi said. "But in a shrinking media environment, you have to kind of reinvent the wheel." The network is planning to air a news feature on Bon Jovi's charity work and have him appear on Bravo's "Inside the Actors Studio."
Def Leppard has canceled the third leg of its North American tour due to unspecified "personal matters," the group said on its website. The third leg of the tour had been scheduled to open on October 22 and end on November 28 in Beaumont, Texas. "We know how truly blessed we are to have such committed fans," the band said in a statement. "That's why we've agonized over this decision. Even if just a single concert, we don't take cancelling shows lightly, but unfortunately life's commitments need to be the priority." Tickets will be refunded at the point of purchase, the band added. Are there internal issues in the band? At this point it probably has to do with money. Viv Campbell is the new guy, but he only gets paid when the band tours. His wife is like an attack dog when it comes to how he’s being treated by the rest of the band.
Disgraced governor Rod Balgojevich, Darryl Strawberry, and Cyndi Lauper will compete in the next season of NBC’s Celebrity Apprentice. At least that’s what photographers captured on West 15th Street in Manhattan, in what appeared to be a shoot for the upcoming program. In addition to Rod Blagojevich, Darryl Strawberry and Lauper, this season’s rivals will include comic Sinbad, Sharon Osbourne, Bret Michaels, Holly Robinson Peete, comic Carol Leifer, wrestlers Goldberg and Maria Kanellis, chef Curtis Stone, and swimmer Summer Sanders. While everyone else is selling lemonade Strawberry will be selling something a little less legal.
8:51 – As we learn more and more about the Heenes, the family responsible for the balloon boy hoax, it gets extremely bizarre. Danny saw it for a hoax early on. Danny empathizes with the family’s quest for television time, but posting an anti-gay song starring little kids is just plain gross. They’ll probably shop their story around and we’ll see the making of the hoax, so they’ll get what they want. Fame is addicting, but these people will probably get booed.
9:10 – CBS3’s Pat Ciarrocchi is in the studio. Danny used to watch her the last time he lived in Philly. She’s been on KYW television since 1982, that’s the year Danny’s girlfriend was born. She’s got a new television talk show with Ukee Washington, Talk Philly, which will air weekdays at noon on CBS 3. Why haven’t they invited Danny to be on the show? It debuts today and Pat extends the invitation. The show is about perspective and point of view. Pat asks Danny about transitioning from child star to radio host. Danny realized that he’s not a good actor; he couldn’t even play himself on an episode of The Drew Cary Show. He loves what he’s doing now and hopes to die here in Philly after a long career on the air. Danny knows what to do when times get tough. With the Spectrum closing soon, Pat and Ukee will have The Hooters on today. Pat used to go to Flyers game there. Danny used to pass out while going to concerts there. Danny lets Pat that there’s an open door policy to come on the show to let people know what’s happening on Talk Philly as long as they give the station credit when we do something cool that they talk about.

A half-marathoner and two other runners died during the Detroit marathon on Sunday, organizers said. Daniel Langdon, 36, of Laingsburg, collapsed at about 9:02 a.m. between the 11- and 12-mile markers. Rick Brown, 65, of Marietta, Ohio, collapsed at 9:17 a.m., near where Langdon went down, and 26-year-old Jon Fenlon of Waterford collapsed at about 9:18 a.m., just after finishing the half-marathon in 1:53:37. It was unclear whether Brown and Langdon were participating in the 13.1-mile half marathon or the full. These guys aren’t so quick when it comes to running. Speed does NOT kill apparently.
Police and fire crews had their hands full this morning trying to rescue a woman who was trapped in her vehicle after smashing her car into a total of six houses. It happened the 1000 block of Springfield Road in Collingdale, Delaware County. Police say a woman lost control of her vehicle, striking 5 house porches and coming to a rest at a sixth house hitting the house straight on. The woman was trapped inside the vehicle for over an hour while crews worked to save her. Danny thinks that farding was the reason for this accident. How’s that possible? It’s a term for putting on makeup while driving. Spike thinks that women don’t belong behind the wheel.
10:03 – Danny’s Final Thought: Don’t fard in your car. Either people are going to hate you or you’ll crash.
Danny Bonaduce Show 10/16/09
6:01 – Shila and Metro are feeling wonderful this morning. Danny had the best day ever yesterday! The only bad part of his day was when his cab driver accused him of smoking in his cab when Danny clearly wasn’t. First of all, the Phils won! Danny filmed The Joy Behar Show last night. It’ll air tonight. Danny’s favorite game is to go into talk show interviews blind. Danny did the show to promote WYSP. The appearance went well. Danny really impressed the CEO of CBS Radio with how great of an interview he is. On the train ride back to Philly, there was a guy on Danny’s train speaking very loudly. The guy was speaking for so loud and so long that the 4 rows behind him were all up in arms about how rude and impolite he was being. Danny decided that because there were 8 people upset with the guy, if no one said anything they’d all be bitches. Danny walked by the guy and made a comment about how loud he was. When he walked back past the guy, he made a comment to whomever he was speaking to that “Danny Bonaduce thinks I talk too loud and wants me to apologize but I don’t apologize for anything”. Danny pulled out a $50 and told him he’d bet the $50 that the guy would apologize if Danny insisted. The whole train applauded Danny’s efforts.
6:19 – Danny is taking some calls. Dave was on a bus and no one would let a pregnant woman sit down so he got in a bunch of people’s faces. Danny’s done that a bunch of times. Ryan was in the movies with kids when the lady in front of him was on the phone cursing loudly. Ryan told the lady’s boyfriend “If you don’t get her off the phone I’m going to punch you”. Shila has used her phone in the movies before and gotten yelled at. Danny thinks you should NEVER talk on the phone once you sit down in the movies. Scott lives across the street from the church that hosts AA Meetings with a bunch of bikers who love revving their bikes late at night. Scott went after them with bricks. Randy will say anything to anyone, but his wife is quiet and reserved. Shila feels when people get approached by strangers, they automatically get defensive. Ross is glad to hear there are still men left in the world. Ross once flipped out on two talkers in the movies, and ended up getting their two chicks because of it.

Ryan Madson got a key out and Brad Lidge finished off the Phillies' 8-6 victory over the Dodgers in Game 1 of the NL championship series last night.The Phils took a 2-0 lead in last year's best-of-seven NLCS, beat the Dodgers in five games and went on to win the World Series. Pedro Martinez is on the hill for Game 2, which starts today at 4:07 PM
The Eagles take on the Oakland Raiders this Sunday at 4:00PM. When asked if Kevin Curtis will still be a starter when his knee is 100 percent, Marty Mornhinweg said: "We'll come to that when it gets here." Defensive coordinator Sean McDermott discussed the way he seems to find a role for every player he has active each Sunday. "We're going to keep pushing the envelope, to take advantage of our personnel," he said. He added that having a role other than "backup" helps players "take ownership," to pay more attention during the week. Left guard Todd Herremans said he still hopes to play next week against Washington, pending a bone scan early in the week to make sure his repaired left foot is still OK.
Jessica Simpson can’t catch a break. The singer is still feeling the sting of getting dumped by Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, and now the embarrassment was broadcast on national TV. Fox has apologized to Simpson for airing a skit during ‘Fox NFL Sunday’–sponsored by Burger King–that mocked Simpson’s weight. In the animated segment featured during the pregame show, members of the Dallas Cowboys slam teammate Romo by taking jabs at his ex. “Man, I still can’t believe Tony [Romo] dated Jessica Simpson, even after she blew up bigger than Flozell Adams!” said a cartoon version of Marion Barber. “Unlike Tony, at least Jessica comes up big when it counts!” responded tight end Jason Witten. Cowboys coach Wade Phillips added the kicker: “Say Tony, is Jessica around? We could use a defensive tackle!” Fox issued a statement saying, “Burger King did not have an editorial input in the creation of the animation that ran last Sunday, and no one from Burger King Corp. approved it before it aired. “Upon reflection, our poor attempt at humor was insensitive, and we deeply apologize to anyone who might have been offended.”

After blowing a major league high 11 saves in the regular season, Brad Lidge, despite twice allowing the tying run to come to the plate, pitched the ninth for his third save of this postseason. The Phillies went on to win 8-6 in a victory over the Dodgers in Game 1 of the NLCS at Dodger Stadium. Game 2 of the best-of-seven series is today at 4:07 (EST).
Top Philadelphia Police officials are vowing that scenes of crowds turning over cars, lighting fires, tearing down trees and street signs won't be repeated if there's a Phillies World Series win. Deputy Police Commissioner Richard Ross warns anyone who may have been inspired by vandals, including those who broke into the Robinson Luggage Store at Broad and Walnut Streets, helping themselves, that the department will be enforcing a "zero tolerance" policy in connection with any vandalism or violence at a World Series Celebration. Danny thinks it’s a dick move to tear up your own city just because you won. The worse call is trying to tell the city of Philadelphia that it definitely won’t happen this year. Metro thinks if it’s a Yankees-Phillies World Series, we should go to New York City and burn it to the ground.
A 6-year-old boy named Falcon was found hiding in a cardboard box in his family's garage yesterday after many feared he was aboard a homemade helium balloon that took off 50 miles through the sky on live television. The discovery marked a bizarre end to a saga that started when the giant silvery balloon floated away from the family's yard yesterday morning. A frantic rescue operation was under way that involved military helicopters and briefly halted flights from Denver International Airport. The boy's father said Falcon's brother saw him inside the compartment and that's why they thought he was aboard the balloon when it launched. The boys' parents are storm chasers who appeared twice in the ABC reality show "Wife Swap," most recently in March. The father has denied the notion that the whole thing was a big publicity stunt. Danny thinks the whole thing is a set-up. There’s no way the parents can get past this without looking terrible. Metro and Shila think there’s no way it’s a set-up.

Adam’s done the Comic Con in San Diego but has never been to the one in New York. Adam likes how inventive the people who attend are. Adam has a DVD out called “Adam West Naked”. It’s very revealing. Metro is totally geeking out and is obsessed with Batman. Metro asks if any of the actors who have played Batman reach out to Adam for advice. Adam says they haven’t because their egos usually get in the way. Danny loves Adam on Family Guy, where he plays the mayor. Adam loves working with Seth McFarlane.

8:30 – It’s time for The Eagles Preview with Howard Eskin. This week is extra special, being that the Phillies are once again battling the Dodgers in the NLCS. Howard feels the Birds games against the Raiders on Sunday is an absolute lock. On to the Phillies-Dodgers series. Danny noticed that all of the Dodgers players are fat. Howard says sports is now just a fashion so and everyone wears baggy uniforms, so it just appears that everyone is fat. Howard thinks a lot of runs will be scored in Game 2, which doesn’t vote well for the starting pitchers. Spike thinks something is up in Cole Hamels’ head and wants to know what his deal is. Howard feels it’s because he’s just wears his emotions on his sleeve, and he won’t return to last season’s form. Metro thinks Brad Lidge is back! Howard and Spike actually agree with each other for once and voice their continued displeasure with Lights Out Lidge. Spike is curious as to how many huge hits Ryan Howard will need before Howard gets off his case. Howard loves Ryan and how he’s changed his swing.
9:07 – The crew is discussing the biggest news story of the day: the 6 year old who was thought to have climbed inside of a massive homemade helium balloon. As fate would have it, the kid was never really in the balloon. He was hiding in his attic. The big debate now is whether or not it was a hoax from the beginning. Danny said from the second he heard about the story that it was a hoax, and now a lot of people in the media are joining him. Shila thinks the kid’s mother looks like an untrustworthy person, but still thinks the story is legitimate.

Danny Bonaduce Show 10/15/09
6:01 – Danny takes lots of mental notes. Danny and Amy had a discussion about where everyone will be in 10 years. Danny thinks he’ll still be working with Metro. Danny and Amy then discussed what kind of mother Shila will be. They don’t think it will go well. Shila jumps out of her chair at the slightest sound in the morning and “Kramers out” so they fear she’ll drop her baby every time it screams. Shila often wonders if she’ll be a good mom. Danny and his ex Gretchen used to call each other Syd and Nancy. Metro wants to know why Danny is wearing a black suit today. He’ll be on The Joy Behar Show on Headline News tonight. Shila thinks Danny should be ready to face some tumultuous questions. Danny’s been through it all, so he doesn’t fear what Joy may ask her because he has nothing to lose or hide. Danny’s been booked for weeks, but still has no idea why he’s being on the show. Before he goes on The Joy Behar Show, Danny has a meeting with the CEO of CBS Radio. Metro has theories on why Danny got booked on The Joy Behar Show. Danny doesn’t like that there may be a specific reason why he’s going to be on.
6:16 – Danny has become extremely nervous about why he’s going to be on The Joy Behar Show. Danny takes some calls. Jerry thinks Danny is going to get fired live on television so he’ll have to restrain himself from killing everyone. Danny disagrees because being on TV would give him more incentive to kill everyone. Randy thinks they’re going to try to crucify him for getting engaged to Amy. Danny thinks they would actually go after Amy for that. If they asked Danny why he was marrying a 27 year old, he’d respond “Because she said yes”. Shila thinks that’s a definite possibility. Danny hates that he’ll be on during the Phillies game so no one in Philadelphia is going to watch. Cornelius thinks Joy Behar will want the number to the plastic surgeon who worked on the transvestite Danny beat up so she can get some work done. Danny says he actually still has the transvestite’s number. Danny was thinking about booking the transvestite on his show, but didn’t want because he thought it would be weird. Amy used to put the transvestite’s picture along with his phone number in the bathroom to torture Danny. Jim thinks Joy will ask Danny about the results of Euphallic. Danny thinks that will be hysterical. Shila thinks Danny’s appearance is going to be related to his ex-wife, or reality show relationships gone wrong in the wake of the Jon and Kate Plus 8 drama. Kevin thinks Joy will congratulate Danny on his engagement then announce that she’s his real mother. Karen thinks Joy just wants to be a part of Shaking Bonaduce. Scott was at the scene of the recent David Cassidy meltdown. It wasn’t as bad as it seemed. David just told a lady she couldn’t bring a board game she had. Danny hates that. Scott is a self-confessed Partridge geek. Danny says without people like Scott, Danny wouldn’t be where he is. Danny enjoyed taking calls so early in the morning, so he thinks this could be a recurring segment.

The Phillies and Dodgers are back in the National League championship series for the second straight year.They are the first repeat teams since Houston and St. Louis squared off in 2004 and '05, and only the third repeaters since Atlanta and Pittsburgh met in 1991 and '92. A year ago, the Phillies took a 2-0 lead at home and went on to beat the Dodgers in five games in the NLCS before defeating Tampa Bay to win the World Series. Now, they're trying to become the first repeat World Series winners since Torre's Yankees did so from 1998-2000. Cole Hamels gets the ball tonight for Game 1. Clayton Kershaw will start for the Dodgers in a matchup of left-handers. At 21 years and 209 days, Kershaw will be the third-youngest Game 1 starter in postseason history and the eighth-youngest starter overall.
Team sources say Pedro Martinez will start Game 2 of the National League Championship Series Martinez, who has not pitched since Sept. 30 and has not lasted more than three innings since Sept. 13, threw a simulated game Tuesday. Joe Blanton was another candidate to start Game 2 , but Manuel said that Blanton and J.A. Happ would spend the “first few games” in the bullpen. Lee pitched on Monday, and would not be on full rest until Sunday’s Game 3. Also according to team sources, righthander Chan Ho Park and utilityman Eric Bruntlett were added to the NLCS roster, and righthanders Brett Myers and Kyle Kendrick were not. Park (hamstring) threw three bullpen sessions in Clearwater, Fla. in the past week, and said yesterday that he was ready to pitch. “Feels good,” he said. “Yeah, I’m ready. Really ready.”
“I think health-wise, he’s there,” said general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. Myers never appeared to recover from a muscle strain in his upper back suffered in September. He also underwent hip surgery in June. Bruntlett gives the team another option for late-inning defense and pinch-running.
Eagles left guard Todd Herremans said he was "stoked" to get back on the field yesterday for the first time since the preseason. Eagles coach Andy Reid cautioned that Herremans was only scheduled to work 15 or 20 minutes in individual drills, as he returns from stress fracture surgery on his left foot. It doesn't sound like Herremans will be playing this week at Oakland; he talked a little about that possibility last week, but previously had targeted the Oct. 26 game at Washington, which seems more realistic. WR Kevin Curtis also fully participated but said his sore knee didn't feel much better. "It's still not where I want it to be," he said. Andy Reid indicated he will continue to rotate Brian Westbrook with rookie running back LeSean McCoy. "I feel confident doing that. (McCoy) has been playing well," Reid said
The group that's looking to buy the St. Louis Rams has dropped conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh after some serious backlash. Three-quarters of the 32 owners would have to approve Limbaugh, but that probably won't happen. Limbaugh, for one, thinks it's because of politics. "This is not about the NFL, it's not about the St. Louis Rams, it's not about me," Limbaugh said on his radio show yesterday.
While attention has been focused on Rush Limbaugh's interest in buying the NFL's St. Louis Rams -- CBS 4/MIAMI reports NFL owners have approved Fergie, of The Black Eyed Peas, to become a part owner of the Miami Dolphins. Fergie wouldn't be the first entertainer involved in Dolphins management though -- as Gloria and Emilio Estefan, Jimmy Buffett, Marc Anthony and tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams have already bought small shares of the Dolphins.

Philly Police are investigating an assault involving two brothers at Cobb's Creek Golf course in the city's Overbrook section. The assault happened yesterday. Daniel Long of Swedesboro, New Jersey was playing a round of golf with his brother when they allegedly got into a fight on the 11th hole. Police said Long's brother allegedly struck him in the face with a golf club and broke his nose. Long was taken to the Hospital. So far, police said they have not arrested Long's brother.
The first photo of Jaycee Dugard, who is now 29 and was living in captiity for 18 years, is on the cover of People Magazine. Jaycee is seen smiling with long, light brown hair. She tells People, “I’m so happy to be back with my family". Jaycee Dugard is living with her mother and two daughters — Angel, 15, and Starlit, 11 — fathered by her alleged kidnapper, Phillip Garrido. Garrido and his wife, Nancy, have been charged with kidnapping and rape in Dugard's 1991 disappearance outside her South Lake Tahoe home. They have pleaded not guilty. A Family spokeswoman said Dugard has formed a very close bond with her sister, Shana, who was just a baby when Dugard was kidnapped. Dugard also told People she rides horses, cooks meals and is thinking of collaborating on a book
7:29 – Danny Bonaduce: Life Coach
Jamie hurt her back and has been out of work. Her friends are asking her to sell some of her Oxycontin pills to them. She’s conflicted and wants to know if it would be worth going through the back pain to make ends meet and make things better for her kids. Danny advises against it, because the pain and misery that she’ll be in will cancel out the extra couple of bucks she makes from selling the pills.
Bobbie is 40, on her second marriage, is 4 months pregnant with her 4th baby and has Fibromyalgia. Her husband is trying to make her feel guilty for not wanting to sleep with him. Danny equates a wife not wanting to sleep with her husband to her not wanting him to eat. If she doesn’t feed him, he’s going to go elsewhere. Danny tells her unless it’s totally unbearable; she should try having sex just once a month if she wants to keep her man.
Jennifer has the opposite problem. She wants to have sex with her boyfriend at least twice a week, but he doesn’t have the mojo. Danny says that’s an easy fix! All her boyfriend needs to do is go to his doctor, who will give him a prescription for cream testosterone. Once he starts using the cream, his sex drive will be back in no time.
7:50 – Actor Gerard Butler is on the show. He’s been in a ton of movies in recent years, but is best known for his role as King Leonidas in The 300. Today, he’s promoting his new film Law Abiding Citizen, which was shot in Philadelphia. Danny was such a huge fan of The 300 that it made him cry. Danny and Gerard share a great friend in Gerard’s fellow Scottish countryman Craig Ferguson. Danny has Craig’s name tattoo’d on his ass. Gerard says he can get Danny a major role in one of his films if Danny will get Gerard’s name tattoo’d on his ass. Danny says for that opportunity, he’ll not only get the tattoo, but he’ll do it in jailhouse font. Gerard says Law Abiding Citizens has one of the greatest opening scenes ever. Gerard really enjoyed seeing the city while shooting the film and looks forward to the chance to shoot in the area again sometime soon.
8:13 – Entertainment News:
If you are a Rock and Roll mama to be, then here's the perfect CD for you. Baby Rock Records has put together "Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions of Guns N' Roses." That's right, perfect for your little headbanger's bedtime. You get baby-perfect renditions of all the band's biggest hits. Look for the CD on November 10th.
Legendary wrestling figure Captain Lou Albano who appeared in several Cyndi Lauper music videos, is dead. World Wrestling Entertainment says he died yesterday of natural causes at age 76. Captain Lou got his start as part of The Sicilians tag team in the 1960's, and was part of the WWE from 1983 to 1996. He became world famous for playing Cyndi Lauper's father in several of her videos, including her breakout hit, "Girls Just Want To Have Fun."
8:35 – Who Would Win In A Fight: ’93 Philles Vs. ’09 Phillies
With this year’s Phillies squad constantly being compared to the 1993 club that lost in the World Series, it was decided that these two LEGENDARY teams should battle it out in the W.W.W.I.A.F. Arena. Metro and Shila both take the ’93 Squad because of their status as hardcore party animals, which in Metro’s eyes means they’d be able to fight. Danny is taking this year’s club for one reason and one reason only: they actually won a championship. The calls are all for the ’93 squad early on. Things are beginning to even out on the phones. With a score of 9 calls to 8, the ’93 Phillies team narrowly wins on the phones. With 73% of the text vote, the winner in a landslide is the 1993 Phillies!
9:09 – As mentioned earlier, Baby Rock Records is releasing a CD full of Lullaby renditions of Guns N’ Roses songs. Danny listens to their rendition of “Welcome to the Jungle” and doesn’t like it cause there’s no way to sweeten that song. Danny’s mother used to sing him lullabies. Danny once wrote a reality show called “Rock N’ Roll Dinner Party” but it never got picked up because he couldn’t get people over his house for dinner. When Metro was a kid and was running late for school, his mom had a catchy little jingle to get him going: “Up and at em outta bed before I break your stinkin’ neck”. Danny’s parents never sang jingles. His dad would just barge in and punch him in the face.
9:38 – News with Shila:
The Phillies and Dodgers are back in the National League Championship series for the second straight year. A year ago, the Phillies took a 2-0 lead at home and went on to beat the Dodgers in five games. Now, they're trying to become the first repeat World Series winners since the Yankees from 1998-2000. Clayton Kershaw will start for the Dodgers and Cole Hamels will start for the Phils tonight in a matchup of left-handers. Game starts at 8:07pm at Dodgers stadium. Metro’s sources say Pedro Martinez is starting Game 2. Danny is not nervous at all about Cole starting Game 1. Danny thinks Cole is probably looking forward to pitching just to get away from his newborn son.
PepsiCo Inc. is facing criticism for an iPhone application that promises to help men "score" with two dozen stereotypes of women by giving users pickup lines and a scoreboard to keep track of their conquests. A Spokeswoman said the application is available only to people 17 and older who "choose to opt in to the experience." The free application is still available. The application lets users select from stereotypes of women, like the "foreign exchange student" or "nerd" or "cougar." Then it offers possible pickup lines like, "Wasn't I in Space Academy with you?" for the nerd. Danny thinks it’s a novelty gag and everyone should lighten up. Danny will sometimes use a pick-up line. Shila wants to get an iPhone just to get the application.
Following Monday's protests outside the B. Bernice Young Elementary School, the Superintendent and other school officials held a board meeting last night to discuss the a controversial video of students singing praises to President Barack Obama. Described as a 'work session,' parents were given the opportunity to have their questions answered and vent their concerns over the political connections their children made at school. One parent said, "Stick to the basics." "Teach reading, writing and arithmetic. Please don't push politics on my 7-year-old." The song was performed in February during an assembly that celebrated a number of occasions, from Black History Month to Dental Health Month. According to board officials, the song was intended to be a tribute to a visiting author who had written a children's book titled 'I am Barack Obama." Danny thinks this whole thing is really lame. It’s the dumbest thing he’s ever heard. Shila feels bad for the school that has to go through this.
9:54 – Spike is in the studio. Spike picked the 93 Phillies in Who Would Win In A Fight and felt very passionately about it. Spikes loves the fact how people will say Who Would Win In A Fight is dumb, but will then give a great argument for one side or another. Danny says all he does when discussing W.W.W.I.A.F. he’ll just say “Who should fight?” then sit back for 10 minutes while everyone tears each other apart about it.
10:01 – Danny’s Final Thought: There is in fact a God, it just turns out he’s funny!
Danny Bonaduce Show 10/14/09
6:01 – Danny feels over-informed this morning. Danny went out to dinner with the GM of the station and Danny’s mother, who is still in town. All was well until Danny’s mom started ordering Lemon Drop Shots and sharing old stories about Danny. She claimed that Danny had been shot more than once, which Danny disputed because one time he ACTUALLY got hit and another time he just returned her car full of bullet holes after stealing it the night before. Every story she told seemed to end with Danny going to jail, which embarrassed Danny. Danny had relatively no memory of any of the stories. Danny just got a new computer and is now loving the Big Blue Box. He was reading his e-mail and the first one contained information on David Cassidy doing his first autograph show ever with Ralph Mouth and other former child stars. There was a 3-hour line to get David’s autograph. Fans flew in from all over the world just to meet him. David charged $20 an autograph, all of which he gets to keep, as well as $10,000 just for showing up. David showed up refusing to sign anything but the pictures he brought and claimed he would be charging $30 an autograph instead of the agreed to $20, stating “That was then, this is now”. He started getting boo’d and quickly dipped out of the backdoor after only 15 minutes. Danny is reading personal e-mails he received regarding David stiffing the fans yet again. Danny says if the promoter contacts him, he’ll sign anything and everything the fans have to bring and he’ll do it free of charge. He loves his fans THAT much! David’s become the maniac and Danny is now the good Partridge. How the hell did that happen?!
6:38 - SPORTS: The kickoff time of the Giants-Eagles and Vikings-Packers games Nov. 1 have been flipped because of the possibility of a World Series game in Philadelphia that night. Giants-Eagles will now start at 1 p.m. EST, with Minnesota-Green Bay at 4:15 EST. If the Phillies reach the World Series, they'd host Game 4 at 8 p.m. that day. The NFL said Tuesday that moving the football game earlier would ease the burden on city and law enforcement employees who work at the two Philadelphia stadiums and staff the shared parking lots. The weather is supposed to be nice in L.A. for Games 1 and 2 of the NLCS, but things will be VERY different when the series switches coasts to Philly. Three different storms will rotate through this week. The models are split on a second coastal event riding up from the southwest Sunday. But it's a given it will be cold and windy at game time - probably mid-40s.
Dave "The Hammer" Schultz will be inducted into the Flyers Hall of Fame before the Nov. 16 game against the New Jersey Devils at the Wachovia Center. The pregame ceremony will include a highlight montage and a brief speech by Schultz. Schultz, who just turned 60, will be the 20th member to be enshrined in the Flyers' Hall; Ron Hextall was inducted last year. "Dave Schultz helped define Philadelphia Flyers hockey," said Comcast-Spectacor chairman Ed Snider. "He played with a high level of intensity, always proudly defending the orange and black and making it difficult for our opponents. He never backed down and he fought hard every night, wearing his heart on his sleeve. While his temporary home was in the penalty box, we're glad that he will have a permanent home in the Philadelphia Flyers Hall of Fame."
One of the more notorious Mike Tyson moments (in the ring, at least) was when he bit Evander Holyfield's ear during a fight. In an interview with Oprah that aired Monday, Tyson told her that he didn't feel guilty about it. Oprah also asks Tyson about his relationship with ex-wife Robin Givens, and Tyson says that it was definitely an abusive relationship. Specifically talking about the time he and Givens appeared on 20/20 (when Givens called Tyson manic-depressive and said life with him was hell and torture), Oprah asked Tyson if he had been surprised with the accusations Givens was making. "Yeah [I was suprised she was saying those things]," he said. "I didn't sock her. I wanted to sock her. I have socked her before. She socked me before as well, it was just that kind of relationship."
Future Hall of Famer Bernard Hopkins’ remarkable career will continue in his hometown of Philly on Wednesday, December 2, when “The Executioner,” who will be fighting in Philly for the first time since 2003, faces hard-hitting Enrique Ornelas at the Liacouras Center at Temple University in a 12-round bout in the light heavyweight division that will be televised live on the VERSUS network
7:06 – News with Shila: A Delaware first-grader who was facing 45 days in an alternative school as punishment for taking his favorite camping utensil to school can return to class after the school board made a hasty change granting him a reprieve. The seven-member Christina School Board voted unanimously Tuesday to reduce the punishment for kindergartners and first-graders who take weapons to school or commit violent offenses to a suspension ranging from three to five days. Zachary Christie, 6, had faced 45 days in an alternative school for troublemakers after he took the utensil — a combination folding knife, fork and spoon — to school to eat lunch last month. Now, he could return today. Metro doesn’t understand the zero tolerance policy. Danny tells Metro about the 3-Strikes Law and talks about a 23 year old man who is now serving life in prison for possessing one joint.
The Philadelphia Police bomb squad was called out to the Edwin Forrest Elementary School yesterday morning after eight bottle bombs were found on school grounds by the assistant principal. Police and the bomb squad rushed to investigate, detonating one of the bottle bombs. They were made out of plastic soda bottles and filled with chemicals. Children were kept safe inside so none would be harmed. There are surveillance cameras posted around the school and authorities are reviewing footage, thinking trespassers may have placed the bottles at the school overnight.
Al Martino, 82, the South Philadelphia bricklayer who became a chart-topping singer and who also is remembered for appearing as Johnny Fontane in The Godfather, died yesterday at his Delaware County home. Mr. Martino scored a number of hits, starting in 1952 with "Here in My Heart" and following up with "I Love You Because," "I Love You More and More Every Day," "Daddy's Little Girl," and "Mary in the Morning." Metro didn’t know he wrote Daddy’s Little Girl. Danny would rather hear that than hear “Wind Beneath My Wings”, which is played at any wedding. Danny’s wedding song with Gretchen was “Wonderful Tonight”. Danny’s surprised the song wasn’t “Money”. Danny says guys don’t care what their wedding song is. Metro disagrees, but thinks it might just be because he works in radio. When Danny and Amy get married, Danny will just sign the check and show up wearing a tuxedo. That’s all the involvement he wants. Shila hates the cliché wedding songs. Danny’s been married twice and each time a groomsman has had sex with a bridesmaid.
Police in Florida say a mother and father and their 15-year-old son died after being electrocuted while putting up a ham radio antenna at their Palm Bay home. Rescue crews found the three on the ground not breathing. Authorities say they were attempting to raise the antenna when they lost control of the pole and it hit an overhead power line. The impact sent 13,000 volts of electricity through the pole. The mom was pronounced dead at the scene. The dad and the son were taken to a hospital where they were pronounced dead. Danny says the question is: Who still uses a ham radio?! Not only is it archaic but it’s extremely difficult to use. Metro thinks it’s a SHOCKING story.
In yet one more reason why the national dialog has changed from "health care reform" to "health insurance reform," Grand Junction, Colo. native Alex Lange was denied insurance coverage by Rocky Mountain Health Plans. Lange who is 4 months old has never smoked, drank alcohol, nor has he ever been diagnosed with a chronic disease. Nevertheless, he was denied health coverage because, according to growth charts, he's obese. Alex's dad, Bernie Lange, is a part-time anchor on local news station KKCO-TV, and he recently went public with his family's denial. As Dr. Doug Speedie, medical director at Rocky Mountain Health told the Denver Post, "If health care reform occurs, underwriting will go away. We do it because everybody else in the industry does it." After the news broke, however, Rocky Mountain Health issued a press release that said it has reversed its position and corrected its underwriting guidelines and "will now provide health plan coverage for healthy infants, regardless of their weight." Danny thinks it’s a bad call to deny coverage to the news anchor’s baby because he has a forum to let people know he’s been wronged.
7:29 – Danny Bonaduce: Life Coach
Joe is trying to get weight loss surgery. His insurance company says they’ll pay for the surgery, but they need to know how much he weighed 2 years before the surgery. He’s reached past his scale’s maximum weight of 350 pounds, so he doesn’t know exactly how much he’s weighed. Danny tells him to go into the E.R. holding his chest and pass out on the floor, faking a heart attack. He’ll then have a life-threatening condition and the insurance company will be forced to pay for the surgery.
Sarah has been with her boyfriend for 2 years. In recent months, all of their mutual friends have been giving her the cold shoulder. Her and her boyfriend have been having big arguments over nothing as well. Danny hates to tell her, but her boyfriend is probably planning on leaving her, and their mutual friends are choosing being his friend over hers. When Danny and Gretchen broke up, their friends chose Danny, but Danny didn’t really like them so the friends lost both of them.
Jeff was arrested without being read his rights. He wants to know if there’s anything he can do to beat the case. Danny says in some instances you don’t have to be read your rights, so there isn’t much Jeff will be able to do about it.
Carol has a coworker who goes into everyone’s personal belongings, including the boss. The boss knows about it, but still nothing has been done. Danny tells Carol to set up a camera to bust the coworker in the act, then the boss will have no choice but to fire her.
7:50 – Pro Wrestling Legend Ric Flair is on the show. WOOOOOO! Ric was a fan of Danny on Celebrity Championship Wrestling. Ric will be appearing at The Big Apple Comicon in New York City this weekend. Ric is more excited for the appearance than a lot of things he’s done recently. Many celebrities will also be at the event. Danny says that there will be many Ric Flair lookalikes there. Ric tells him that people have shown up at his house in the middle of the night dressed as him. Danny and Ric have another thing in common: they’ve both threatened to kick wrestling promoter Eric Bischoff’s ass. Ric is coming out of retirement and wrestling with Hulk Hogan on a tour of Australia. Ric has had some injury issues, the biggest of which was surviving a plane crash. He still feels that he can wrestle. Ric does his signature WOOOOOOOO!
8:07 - Entertainment News Chuck Lidell got kicked off of Dancing with the Stars last night. It was down to Aaron Carter and Chuck Lidell and Chuck got the boot. So now it’s down to two people on Dancing With the Stars that have punched Danny in the face. Chuck Liddell was the one who inflicted the most damage on Danny. Danny thinks Aaron Carter’s outfit looked like a big, blonde leprechaun. Danny would punch him on the street just cause he had it coming.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is calling out his wife, Maria Shriver, for apparently violating a state law he signed — holding and talking on her cell phone while driving. TMZ.com posted two photographs showing Shriver holding a phone to her ear while she's behind the wheel. On his Twitter feed, Schwarzenegger wrote to TMZ.com founder Harvey Levin: "Thanks for bringing her violations to my attention. There's going to be swift action." The first lady's office said it would have no comment. Danny would like to hear more about Maria’s “violations”. Danny voted for Arnold for Governor. Metro brings up the scene from Demolition Man where there was a billboard claiming Arnold was the President. Danny says Arnold is a bit of a hypocrite because he drives his motorcycle when he doesn’t have a license.
Jon and Kate Gosselin were in a Pennsylvania court early yesterday morning to battle it out over their money. Kate claimed Jon withdrew over $230,000 from their joint account, while Jon countered that she too made unauthorized withdrawals. The duo met yesterday with a court appointed arbitrator and were unable to come to agreement on how to split their dough. Later a judge ruled that Jon must return $180,000 to their joint account by the pair's next hearing, scheduled for October 26th. Danny doesn’t understand why ANYONE cares about these people. They’re oozing cash with absolutely no talent.
Singed strands of Michael Jackson’s hair that were burned in a Pepsi Commercial are now up for sale. They were collected by Ralph Cohen, the executive producer of the commercial, who took off his coat off to put out the flames on the singer’s head. Jackson was said to have never full recovered from the second degree burns and an autopsy showed he was almost bald. The hair was preserved after the accident in 1984 by Mr. Cohen and the strands were clearly singed. They are coming up for sale along with a transcript of Mr. Cohen’s account of the accident. They’re all set to make over £1,000 Danny thinks the hair should go for way more than they’re asking. After Michael’s death, his high school yearbook went for over $4,000.
8:33 – Legendary Phillies catcher Darren Daulton is on the show to discuss the Phillies’ playoff run. Danny says his first thought after meeting Dutch was “I’d love to have a beer with this guy”. Dutch says he feels at home now. Dutch is the show’s Phillies Playoffs correspondent for the remainder of their playoff run. Dutch has played in 3 World Series. The Phillies are playing the Dodgers and Danny finds it ironic that he lived in L.A. for 30 years and never saw Dodgers Stadium. Dutch thinks a lot of people don’t have faith in the Phillies right now, but the way that they won the NLDS says a lot about how confident the team itself feels. Danny has seen noticeable differences with Lidge in the past few games. Dutch thinks there’s still a question there about who to turn to in the 9th inning with the game on the line. Metro asks if it’s possible to have a regular season like Lidge did and become a dominant force during playoff time. Dutch says it’s a definite possibility. He feels Charlie Manuel is going to be questioned no matter who he chooses as the team’s closer. Shila asks if Cole Hamels and Cliff Lee would be able to carry the team. Dutch says they can be dominant, given the right circumstances. Metro asks if weather will play a factor in the NLCS. Dutch answers that no one actually wants to play in cold weather, but the pitcher is probably the warmest player on the field because they move around so much. Dutch doesn’t think the contrasting temperatures in L.A. and Philly will affect the players. Dutch says he isn’t offended that he’s known most for being a part of the 1993 NL Champion Phillies, even though he won a championship elsewhere. Metro asks Dutch who he thinks would win in a fight between the ’09 and ’93 teams. Dutch says the ’93 team would win hands down.
9:05 – Rock ‘N Roll Thesaurus: Danny put some AC/DC Songs through the Rock ‘N Roll Thesaurus.
Listeners who can give the correct song titles will win two tickets to Danny’s Suite at the AC/DC show on October 21st.

9:36 News with Shila: The kickoff times of the Giants-Eagles and Vikings-Packers games Nov. 1 have been flipped because of the possibility of a World Series game in Philadelphia that night. Giants-Eagles will now start at 1 p.m. EST, with Minnesota-Green Bay at 4:15 EST. If the Phillies reach the World Series, they'd host Game 4 at 8 p.m. that day. The NFL said yesterday that moving the football game earlier would ease the burden on city and police and staff who work at the two stadiums. The NFL also wanted to give fans sufficient notice.
Police are searching for the hit and run driver who left a Northeast Philadelphia boy fighting for his life. Daiheem Rhodes, 11, is in the intensive care unit at St. Christopher's Hospital after losing a kidney. Eyewitnesses said a speeding car struck the 6th grader while he was riding his bike on Keystone Street in Tacony last Thursday. One witness said, “"He (the driver) was actually flying because after the Phillies game, everybody was celebrating.” The victim's mother, Isis Rhodes, found a Ford hubcap left behind at the scene. However, descriptions of the four-door sedan are sketchy. Danny thinks that’s the worst call ever, because any parts left behind by the vehicle will cause the driver to be caught.
A suburban Philadelphia woman is facing charges she stole nearly $170,000 from her uncle and elderly grandmother to fund vacations and pay car and tuition bills. Prosecutors say that Joelle Paige Speidel used the money to pay tuition at Saint Joseph's University and cover personal expenses. Speidel's uncle and grandmother asked her help in opening an online brokerage account because of her background in finance. But investigators say Speidel used her own password to misappropriate amounts ranging from $280 to $27,000 monthly. Speidel is being held on $100,000 bail. A preliminary hearing is set for Oct. 22.
On April 20, 1999, Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris entered Columbine High School in Jefferson County, Colorado, and systematically embarked on a massacre. When their rampage was over, 12 students and one teacher were dead and 24 others were injured. Ultimately, the two turned their guns on themselves and committed suicide. For the first time since the shootings Susan Klebold, Dylan’s mother, is speaking out. When her essay is published in next month’s issue of "O, the Oprah Magazine," it will be the first time one of the parents of the killers has offered detailed public remarks. In the essay Klebold says she had "no inkling" of her son's inner turmoil. "For the rest of my life, I will be haunted by the horror and anguish Dylan caused," she writes. "I cannot look at a child in a grocery store or on the street without thinking about how my son's schoolmates spent the last moments of their lives. Dylan changed everything I believed about myself, about God, about family, and about love." Danny doesn’t understand why she wrote the essay. She wasn’t a witness. It would be much more interesting if she said she saw her kid was troubled and tried to help.
A German man mooning a departing train got his pants caught on the train's door and was dragged half-naked across the platform! The 22-year-old student pulled his pants down and pushed his butt against the window of the train after staff forced him off for traveling without a ticket. He ended up dangling by his trousers and getting pulled almost 700 feet. Miraculously, he managed to keep his legs away from the wheels of the train and suffered only minor cuts and bruises. The man was rescued after a passenger pulled the emergency brake, but the whole incident delayed train service for over an hour
9:57 – Danny hates that his laugh sounds like he has emphysema. Spike says if he ever gets a lung disease, he’s going to come share it with Danny. Spike is part of the brain trust that has come up with the great giveaways coinciding with the closing of the Spectrum.
10:10 – Danny’s Final Thought: If for any reason you see me and think “I’d like to have a drink with that guy”, come up to me and say so and I'll buy you one.
Danny Bonaduce Show 10/13/09
6:01 – Danny has a little phlegm this morning. Danny and Shila watched the Phils beat the Rockies last night; Metro was at the KISS show though. Gene Simmons left some tickets for Danny, but he was geared up for the Phils game, so Metro took them. Danny encourages Metro to scalp his original seats and upgrade his seats. Danny has no issue scalping tickets; he does it with the Grammys every year. Metro had a blast at KISS. Danny was on the edge of his seat watching the Phils game all night. Another Brad Lidge save! Drinking helped ease the tension. Vodka to the rescue! He watched the game with his mom who knows nothing about baseball, so Danny got to be an expert for the night. Back to the KISS show, Metro was in flame throwing, blood spitting, rock n’ roll heaven. He is now baptized in badassness. KISS breaks the concert rule of wearing the band’s shirt at their gig. KISS fans not only wear the shirts, they dress like the band too. Some better than others. Danny first met the band in ’77 when they were rather new to the scene. Back then part of Paul’s image was being silent off stage and only speaking at shows. That’s obviously changed. Getting a word in edgewise with Gene and Paul isn’t easy. Danny takes a few calls from people that were at the show too. Going to a KISS concert and not having fun is impossible. 6:42 – SPORTS:
Ryan Howard hit a two-run double with two outs in the ninth inning and scored on Jayson Werth’s single as the Phillies rallied past the Colorado Rockies 5-4 in Game 4 on Monday to reach the NL championship series. Brad Lidge, bouncing back from a ragged regular season, earned his second consecutive save by again retiring cleanup batter Troy Tulowitzki with runners on first and second for the final out. Tulowitzki, who flied out to end Game 3, struck out this time and the Phillies celebrated on the infield at chilly Coors Field before retreating to the clubhouse to spray champagne . “I can’t see and it hurts,” Howard said. “But it hurts good.” Next, the World Series champions play Thursday night against Los Angeles at Dodger Stadium in an NLCS rematch from last season. This marked the fourth straight year that none of baseball’s first-round series went to a winner-take-all Game 5. Lidge is on fire! There was only one person unhappy with last night’s game was Spike because he’s not a Lidge fan. #54 has been clutch for the last two games though. Howard came up big at the right time too. Shila’s new favorite player is Jayson Werth, she thinks he’s a cutey. Danny’s mom is a fan of his rugged good looks too.
Andy Reid's review of Jeremiah Trotter, after watching the film: "He did a good job of plugging his spot. There wasn't necessarily a lot of action in his direction. For being out of it a while, he did a respectable job . . . I've reminded him a couple of times that he's been sitting on the couch watching the games, and he reminded me that I was right.'' Reid said Trotter's acclimation is "just a matter of his timing and seeing things for the first time.''
7:12 – News with Shila:
A freak construction accident in Center City left a worker dead and three bystanders injured yesterday. The boom lift was working on a church roof at 21st and Walnut Streets at about 1:15 p.m. when it toppled, sending the operator 125 feet to the ground. The construction worker, identified as James Wilson of New Jersey, was taken to Hahnemann where he was pronounced dead. A woman in her 70s was struck by falling debris and rushed to the hospital with a broken arm. A man and woman sitting in a parked car suffered minor injuries when falling debris smashed into the car’s windshield. A preliminary investigation indicated that a utility grate under the sidewalk beneath one of the lift's wheels gave way causing the lift to tilt and eventually tumble.
A 6 year old boy named Zachary Christie was suspended for 45 days from his 1st grade class in Delaware's Christina School District after bringing a camping utensil - a combination knife/fork/spoon - to use at lunch. This prompted calls to reexamine the schools' zero-tolerance policy for bringing weapons to school. Zero tolerance policies were instituted in many school districts across the country in part due to violence at Columbine and Virginia Tech. Zachary is being home-schooled while his mother, Debbie Christie, tries to fight the suspension. Christie started a Web site, helpzachary.com, to rally up support for her son. However, there has been a move to give school officials more flexibility in "weapon"-related incidents. That’s a little extreme for spoon and fork. The kid is only six. Send him home for a day, not 45. This experience could turn the boy into a bad kid, rather than prevent it.
A Wilmington woman has been charged with leaving her son alone in a car in the parking lot of a casino. A security guard patrolling the parking lot at Delaware Park Racetrack and Slots spotted the 12-year-old boy alone in the car around 9 p.m. Sunday. He was left there for more than two hours. When the mother was found in the casino, she told troopers that she went to win some money to take her son to the movies. The Division of Family Services was contacted and advised of the incident. The mother was released on a $500 bond. The boy was turned over to a family member.
A Florida man shot and killed his fianceé the night before their wedding, allegedly mistaking her for an intruder. John Tabutt, 62, made a frantic phone call to 911 Friday night after realizing his tragic mistake. Tabutt said he was startled by a noise at 3 a.m. and fired a shot from his .38 caliber revolver at a moving figure in the hallway. He believed his fianceé, Nancy, also 62, was still asleep by his side. She was shot in the chest and she died on the scene. Police are still investigating further to completely rule out foul play. Danny promised to spend the rest of his life with many women and never meant it. When he says it to Amy he means it. Losing a fiancé at 62 is tragic, at the age of 25 it’s probably a blessing. 7:31 – Danny Bonaduce: Life Coach

He deserves better.
Gary wants to steer his daughter into academics, but she’s interesting in acting. When Danny’s son was 6 he wanted to be a policeman, Danny didn’t get him a gun. Once Danny’s kids did some tryouts for roles, they realized how tough it is. Dreams are good things, so let her chase them until her grades fall. Kids tire from all the behind the scenes work and constant disappointment. There’s a lot of unhappy endings in the entertainment industry. Don’t let the girl quit something that’s good for her though.
Corey is working fulltime, going to school at night to improve his life, but his real big dream is radio. Danny didn’t start out with the goal of doing radio, but it was something that found him. Radio is the last bastion of show business that you can work yourself into. It is all sweat equity, start off at the bottom and eventually someone will give you a small break. As it goes on, if you luck out and you’re skilled and talented, you can make it.
7:52 – Howard Eskin is on the show to talk some Phillies playoff baseball. The game was almost too intense for Danny. As the playoffs go on, the teams get better, and the competition gets stiffer. Some fan need to learn what a balk really is, especially the fans in Colorado. The games are so close that every out matters this time of year. Eskin’s still on the Brad Lidge dock, he’s still not ready go get onboard. If Charlie was a believer Lidge would have started the inning off. Eskin expects Hamels to start game 1 of the NLCS. He thinks the Dodgers are better than they were last year and although the Phillies are good too, they’re not as solid as they were last year. He’s impressed with their clutch hitting.

Bruce Springsteen's eldest boy does not like his dad's music. The Boss made a surprise appearance at a taping of Elvis Costello's TV show "Spectacle" last week and revealed that Evan James isn't into the Bruce catalog. His dad says 19-year-old Evan would rather listen to Rage Against The Machine, Dropkick Murphys and Bad Religion. bruce plays tonight and tomorrow, Oct 13 and 14 at the Spectrum. Today he will perform his Born to Run albumn and tomorrow he will perform Darkness at the edge of Town. It’s an age issue, but don’t bite the hand that feeds you. From the first time Danny heard Rosalita he was a fan.
Metallica now has its own iPhone app. The band's official Web site says now its fans can access downloads from more than 269 concerts, buy the tracks for 99-cents and listen to them right from their iPhones. Some of the tracks will even be free. Just sign up for a LiveMetallica account and bang your head! Give James, Lars, Kirk, and Robert a high five for giving the fans what they want. It’s not selling out if they give the people what they want. Danny would like the word ‘sellout’ removed from the American lexicon.
A flight attendant for Oprah Winfrey's private jet who was fired after she allegedly had sex on board of the plane has filed a lawsuit against the talk queen, denying all allegations against her. Corrine Gehrls says that two fellow flight attendants -- one of whom is the daughter of Gayle King, Oprah Winfrey's best friend -- made claims that she had intercourse with plane pilot Terry Pansing during a flight which Winfrey and other guests were on. The lawsuit claims that Winfrey and others on board were sleeping "following their ingestion of sleeping pills, which is when the alleged sexual affair with the plane's pilot, Terry Pansing, took place. Gehrls alleges that flight attendants Myron Gooch and Kirby Bumpus (King's daughter) made up the claims. Gehrls and Pansing were both later fired for "inappropriate intimate behavior," the suit claims. She and Pansing have both passed a polygraph test, but were still not rehired. In the lawsuit, Gehrls seeks more than $75,000 from Gooch, Bumpus and Winfrey's production company, Harpo Inc. How good must it be to have a mom who is best friends with Oprah? If the accusations are true the pilot and the attendant need to be fired. The passengers should be the ones having sex. Suing Oprah might not be the best move though.
Hollywood is over run with actors getting plastic surgery to look more beautiful, but who knew there would be a beauty contest surrounding plastic surgery. In budapest, Hungrey, they are holding the Miss Plastic contest featuring patients of leading cosmetic surgeons showing off everything from boob jobs and liposuction to hair transplants. Judges - who will award prizes to the surgeons for their handiwork - not only have to study the contestants' vital statistics but their medical records too. Organizers claim the event allows the contestants, aged from 19 to 38, to celebrate the beautiful bodies they helped to create. That’s badass! Metro and Spike have never felt a pair of fake ones. Usually a girl who gets work done can’t wait to show them off. Danny’s ex-wife’s implants began to stiffen up over time. Danny’s felt his fair share of real and fake and even paid for a few procedures. 8:31 – What are the pros and cons of natural and implants? Danny sees an upside to both. Ryan calls to say that the surgery is less expensive than psychotherapy and fixes the problem permanently. Danny digs a smaller, natural set that look good in a wifebeater, but a bra isn’t always needed with implants. Shila is a fan of the confidence that implants gives a girl that isn’t huge. Tom loves the feel of the natural sets. John doesn’t like the spacing that women get when they have implants, which can be attributed to a poor doctor. James started dating a nice girl with a perfect body, and then she told him that they weren’t natural. Now that he knows they’re fake, it ruined the mystique that her body held for him. Jim digs the implants because they’re firm and the girls like them to be touched. Philip is against any procedure because the sensitivity is usually lost. In the end, no guy is going to turn down a girl because of the size of her chest.
9:11 – Former PA Governor and head of Homeland Security Tom Ridge is on the show. Ridge has a new book out, ‘The Test of Our Times: America Under Siege...And How We Can Be Safe Again.’ How did the Governor of PA get the job leading Homeland Security? Great question, he’ll have to wait for George W. Bush’s memoirs to know. Having a background with governors, congress, and his work in the private sector could have helped him. Danny thinks that there’s some supercool unknown reason that Ridge got the gig. 9/11 really unified the country, but Ridge wasn’t invited to National Security Council meetings though. The country is safe now, but the sense of urgency about protecting the nation has been lost. He’d like to see biometrics and a national ID card issued to the citizens. If another attack happens, how would it go down? Whatever it is, it should be big. The bio attack is something the nation is susceptible to. Are we safer now than we were before 9/11? Absolutely says Ridge.
9:44 – Danny wants to hammer Spike about jumping off the Brad Lidge bandwagon. Spike does think Charlie Manuel made the right call at the right time last night, but Manuel’s faith in Lidge has payed off in the postseason. Werth and Lee came up big in the series. Spike predicts that the Dodgers won’t be cake, but their pitching isn’t as strong as the Phils and Manny hasn’t been the same since he was busted for juicing. If MLB was to suspend Danny for performance enhancing drugs he’d have to sit out 500 years.
10:05 – Danny’s Final Thought: No matter what you’ve heard on this show, whether you go with the collar bone or flop the whole Hogan, I still respect you as a lady.

6:03 – Danny is in the hizzy. What is it? No one is sure, but Danny’s in it. Shila spent her weekend taking care of her mother who was rear-ended in a hit and run accident. She’s alright, but is plotting revenge. Danny’s been in a fight where he fled the scene, but not a car accident. Shila missed out on a fantastic adventure; Danny’s appearance at an 80’s club in Newark, Delaware. It wasn’t easy to find, but Danny loved the fact that the gas stations there sell beer and liquor. He had a great time at the club, everyone was nice. Danny was tending bar and his fiancée Amy sank a few Bonaduces (lots of vodka, a little cranberry juice) that got her wasted. A listener also gave Amy a bag full of adult toys. Danny signed a boob after Gordon, being second on the list hurt his ego. Though Danny has signed upwards of a thousand in his lifetime. Danny got home before his mother who was out partying in the city. When she came home she was lit up with some of her Gayborhood friends. However she was up and ready for action at 5 this morning. There is no stopping Betty Bonaduce. 6:38 – SPORTS:
Donovan McNabb needed just two plays to show his rib was fine and he wasn't rusty. McNabb threw for 264 yards and three touchdowns, rookie Jeremy Maclin had two TD catches and the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 33-14 on Sunday. "I felt pretty good," McNabb said. "I thought it was a slow process. I didn't think the first touchdown would happen that fast." The lopsided score allowed Michael Vick to take extra snaps in the fourth quarter. He completed his first pass in 33 months and had an 11-yard run. The Eagles (3-1) improved to 11-0 after a bye week under Andy Reid. McNabb looked sharp in his first game back from the rib injury.
Immediately following the typically dramatic introductions prior to the Eagles’ dismantling of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Intro Man Dan Baker really got revved up for one last Eagle … welcome back, Trotter. “It was special,” said Trotter, who played as a sub at middle linebacker behind starter Omar Gaither. “It was good that they introduced both me and Omar, because we both started today. Omar had a great day. He went out there and made some great plays. I didn’t really have an opportunity to do too much, so I just took advantage of what I could.” In that spirit, Trotter wasn’t going to let this long-awaited intro go unnoticed. He came out of the tunnel with his name still ringing ’round the Linc, and swung his big, imaginary ax to the delight of all those fans sentenced to watch this game. In that respect, Trotter was playing to the crowd much like longtime hero Brian Dawkins, who was always introduced last and had a different dance out of the tunnel every time. Defensive end Darren Howard said: “It was electric … like he never left.”
Brad Lidge stranded runners at first second base on a bitterly cold Sunday night when he got Troy Tulowitzki to fly out to shallow left field, preserving the Phillies' 6-5 win over the Colorado Rockies in Game 3 of their NL playoff series. Huston Street allowed Ryan Howard's sacrifice fly in the top of the ninth that scored Jimmy Rollins from third base with the tiebreaking run. Lidge is back! Danny’s boy saved the game. Now he’s waiting for Spike to eat his words.
7:07 – News with Shila:
A New Jersey man has been arrested after allegedly stealing World Series rings from the Philadelphia Phillies executive office. The man allegedly stole the rings Thursday after being ejected from Game 2 of the playoffs. The suspect, 22-year-old Matthew Mervine of Berlin, was in the offices to apply for a job when he swiped the three rings that were in a manila envelope on the counter in the lobby. He was captured on video. He also put his real name, address and phone number on the job application. This is the second time since September that a Phillies World Series ring was stolen from the ballpark. There’s a great new idea called locking doors. This is a good example of falling uphill as an excellent drunk. He’s not that much of a genius though, he just stole outgoing mail that happened to be World Series rings.
Michael and Kevin Bacon are set to headline a benefit concert to raise money for the Mummers. The Bacon Brothers will take the stage at the Electric Factory on December 5 to sing their song 'New Year's Day,' a song they recorded along with over two dozen Mummers in a special arrangement by Mummers musician Herbie Smith. They are also planning on donating 5,000 copies of the song on a special DVD that includes footage of the recording session as well as classic footage of the Mummers performing on at past New Years Days. The Mummers association has been struggling to stay alive since the city's budget plans. Details about the concert will be announced as they are available.
Conservative groups plan to rally Monday near a New Jersey school where students performed a song celebrating President Barack Obama. The B. Bernice Young School in Burlington Township will beef up security, which houses kindergartners through second-graders. The song drew national attention last month after a video of the performance was posted on YouTube. Conservatives say it shows how schoolchildren are being indoctrinated to idolize Obama. The Obama song initially was performed during a Black History Month assembly in February and was repeated in March when author Charisse Carney-Nunes, who wrote the children's book "I Am Barack Obama," visited the school. Who needs patriotism?
Thousands turned out this weekend for the Delaware Mud Run, a boot-camp-like trek through an obstacle course to raise money for a leukemia charity. The 5-kilometer race was held to benefit the Leukemia Research Foundation of Delaware and was held at Frightland in Middletown. An estimated 4,400 turned out Sunday for the event. Runners climbed walls, crawled through a mud-filled tunnel and scaled hills of dirt at the Halloween-themed complex in Middletown. This is something Danny probably couldn’t compete in because his cardio is so bad. He’s working on it through so he can go in the ring for his professional fighting debut on his 51st birthday. 7:31 – Danny Bonaduce: Life Coach
Brady calls to say that the phone rang during sweet love making time with his woman and she didn’t appreciate it. The calls were from people that were minor, not major people in his life. The message he sent was that even during sex she didn’t have his undivided attention. He didn’t mean any harm, but he has to learn from his mistakes. Some $15, asking about her day, and not picking up the phone will win her back.
Tara read a book that states if a man isn’t attempting to provide for the family then there needs to be a new man. Tara works hard, makes more than her boyfriend, they have a son together, and a good chunk of his paycheck goes to his three kids from his first marriage. She pays the bills and feels she has to chase him down to pay bills. He does put sweat equity into the house, not financial equity. That should score some points. Put him in charge of one bill a month like the electric bill. Give him a break and make him feel like a man.
7:52 – Merrill Reese, the voice of Eagles Radio on 94WYSP, is on the show to talk about yesterday’s Eagles game. He’s happy the day after a win over the Bucs, but thought the Birds were a little sloppy. Merrill thought McNabb had a very good game and Maclin had his coming out party. The Birds are good, but how good is a question that will be answered when they play some division games. What does this mean for Kevin Curtis? Merrill thinks when he’s healthy he’ll come back as a starter. There are five wide receivers that are threats on the team, which is welcomed from the days of Pinkston and Thrash. One of the major issues the Bucs are dealing with is poor coaching. Even though there were some bad calls Merrill thinks the refs are impartial, but does think that the home field does leverage some advantage with the refs. Is there a weakness at stopping the opposition’s tight end? Winslow is a top tier TE, he’s not some scrub off the bench. It’s a good feeling to win big, but still see coaches dig into the details about playing better.

Who was the biggest influence on KISS? Gene Simmons says that's easy, The Beatles. He told Billboard magazine that KISS is the Fab Four on steroids with tons of makeup and high-heeled shoes. For Gene, the Beatles were a better model than the Rolling Stones because John, Paul, George and Ringo all sang and could all be frontmen. He also loved the Beatles' uniform look and wonders why they never trademarked their haircuts. The faces of KISS are in the Library of Congress with Gene and Paul Stanley owning the trademark.
"Swingers" co-stars Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau buddied up for the weekend's top movie as "Couples Retreat" debuted with $35.3 million, while the micro-budgeted fright flick "Paranormal Activity" leaped into the top 10. Shot for a reported $15,000, "Paranormal Activity" came in at No. 5 with $7.1 million as distributor Paramount expanded it into daylong release after two weeks of midnight-only screenings. Like "Blair Witch," "Paranormal Activity" is fiction shot in documentary style as a young man tries to record strange doings and apparitions in the house he shares with his girlfriend. The hype surrounding Paranormal fires Danny up. It could be cooler than The Blair Witch Project, which Shila thought was real. The scariest movie Danny ever saw was Jaws, every time he’s in the ocean he gets freaked out. She also thinks that exorcisms are real, which upsets Spike. 8:34 – Donnie Osmond, Danny’s old boxing buddy, are on the show. He’s one of the three people on Dancing with the Stars, that has punched Danny in the face. Maybe Punching with the Stars is next? Donnie is losing some weight doing the show, but he’s also doing a stage show with Marie in Vegas, so he’s an eating machine these days. Danny digs the way that Donnie sells what he’s doing, a consummate showman, which will make up a large part of his score. What happened to Donnie with the Bruno kiss? It was a moment of insanity. What made Donnie get in the ring with Danny? The constant taunting. It started out as an arm wrestling competition and ballooned into boxing. They both had a great time in the ring that night, but there’s still a slight dispute as to who won. Donnie thinks that his score with the judges was better than Danny’s, but the numbers he quotes are mathematically impossible on the way boxing matches are scored. Vote for Donnie tonight on Dancing with the Stars.
9:06 – Over the weekend Danny’s fiancé was given a nice, big bag of sex toys by a listener. So they went through the bag on Sunday afternoon looking at the fun gifts, figuring out what everything was supposed to be used for. Everything was fun and going well until Danny’s 85 year-old mother walked into the room while Danny and Amy were playing detective. Upon entering she wheezed something and walked back downstairs. It’s been a while since Danny was busted his mother. Rick was with his wife a few months ago when she was showing her appreciation for him when her mother walked in. Shila’s college roommate was having sex with her boyfriend on Christmas break when the mother was on the phone and the line in the bedroom was kicked off the hook, unknowingly putting on a performance for her mother who was on the phone.

The Phillies take a 6-5 win over the Rockies last night. In a game played in near freezing temperatures, Brad Lidge stranded runners at first and second base when he got Troy Tulowitzki to fly out to shallow left field, solidifying the Phillies' 6-5 win over the Rockies in Game 3. Huston Street allowed Ryan Howard's sacrifice fly in the top of the ninth that scored Jimmy Rollins with the tiebreaking run. The Phillies could wrap up this NL divisional series Monday in Game 4 when they send Game 1 winner Cliff Lee to the mound. Tonight's game is at 6:07pm. Spike has a tough time conceding that Lidge stepped up and got the save when necessary. Could Danny be about to jump off the Cole Hamels bandwagon?
School officials in Media are bringing in accident specialists to review the death of a student who was electrocuted. The victim, Michael Savage, was a student at the Williamson Free School of Mechanical Trades. He was reportedly wiring a lamp on Friday when he was hit by a jolt of electricity last Friday. Services for Savage are scheduled for Friday. Danny had a bad electrocution while working a dunk tank for a radio station years ago. He went around for months saying that he was experiencing stigmata.
Police in Lawrence, Kansas say they have arrested a 21-year-old guy who stole an ambulance to get home after a night of drinking. Police say the ambulance crew parked it early Sunday while responding to a medical emergency in an area filled with bars and specialty shops. The man was intoxicated and believed he had no other way home. He led police on a brief, low-speed chase. The man was arrested on charges of theft of the ambulance as well as driving under the influence. At least he crashed at the right spot, where the ambulance was.

6:02 – Shila doesn’t know how to say ‘thank you’ after Danny gives her a compliment. Danny’s got more houseguests. His mom, Betty, is visiting. Her only demand was a bottle of Crown Royal. Danny could stand for a little more privacy in his house. It’s four stories of loft-style rooms, with a lack of doors. So if there’s sex in the house, everyone can hear it. Danny’s also started to experiment with caffeinated vodka. There’s a chance that Danny took Tylenol PM this morning instead of aspirin. So it’s in his head that he took the wrong pills, although after double-checking the medicine cabinet he took the right ones. All the commotion woke Amy up, who was distressed when Danny told her he had taken sleeping pills, but rolled her eyes and went back to bed when she found out it was just Tylenol PM. Shila had a bad episode as the result of mixing all sorts of over the counter medication and alcohol when she was in college. Danny used to have a suicide kit when he was popping pills. It was a collection of pills that he kept in case he was told he had a terminal disease and he wanted to go peacefully. The problem with that was his suicide kit kept running low because he’d take some of the pills 6:35 – SPORTS:
The Colorado Rockies evened the best-of-five series at one game apiece with a 5-4 win before a record crowd of 46,528 fans at Citizens Bank Park. The Phillies trailed 4-0 after five innings. They cut the lead to one in the sixth and eighth innings but could get no closer. Thursday's game was filled with drama and strategy moves that even had Phillies manager Charlie Manuel shaking his head. "I was making moves out there that if I could have picked some other things to do, I probably would have done it," Manuel said. The Phillies later said that Hamels wasn't aware his wife was in labor while pitching on the mound and that he left the game because of his performance. Danny bailed on his wife when she was in labor with their second child to appear on the Tonight Show. It was a false alarm, but they did appear on A Baby Story. It wasn’t Danny at his best.
Bill Guerin and Alex Goligoski scored midway through the second period to help the Pittsburgh Penguins hand the Philadelphia Flyers their first loss of the season, 5-4 on Thursday night. In the final moments of the third period, Flyers captain Mike Richards charged the Penguins' net and collided with goalie Marc-Andre Fleury. After Richards dislodged the net from its moorings with 1.2 seconds remaining, Flyers forward Scott Hartnell and Pittsburgh defenseman Kris Letang became entangled and fell to the ice. Shortly after, Letang left the scrap holding his hand and raced off the ice, claiming to the referee that Hartnell had bit him on his hand. There was no clear video evidence from the broadcast footage of the purported bite, but Hartnell was given a 2-minute minor for roughing. Some kids are taught not to bite or kick the nards in a fight when growing up. Danny’s philosophy is that if it’s a fight, anything goes. There should be no rules to fighting.
Eagles Defensive coordinator Sean McDermott insisted that Omar Gaither remains a vital part of the Eagles' defense even though it appears veteran Jeremiah Trotter will likely start and play in run situations during the Eagles' game Sunday against Tampa Bay. "It's important to understand that Omar Gaither is a heck of a football player and his impact on this defense will not change," McDermott said. "He will be called upon to make an important impact both on and off the field. The same way he was before we brought Jeremiah in."

The Archdiocese of Philadelphia has announced it is closing two long-standing high schools at the end of the school year. Northeast Catholic High School for Boys and Cardinal Dougherty High School will shut down at the conclusion of the 2009-2010 school year (June 2010). According to officials, declining enrollment for each school is one of the main reasons for the closures. Archdiocese officials plan to combine the students of Cardinal Dougherty and Northeast Catholic with other high schools in the Archdiocese. Information about open houses and registration is expected to be released at a later date.
When 29-year-old Drew Olanoff, from Delaware County, was diagnosed with stage 3 hodgkins-lymphoma, he vowed not only to beat it, but to blame everything and anything on it! "Cancer deserves it. What better place to put your anger and things that annoy you than on cancer," Drew said. He started a Twitter page to help spread the word people quickly took notice. Soon, users were blaming everything on Drew's cancer … from not having a bone marrow match to their favorite sports team's losing record. 31,000 tweets later, even Lance Armstrong took notice, blaming his broken collar bone on Drew's cancer. That's when he decided to make the most of his newfound Twitter fame and auction off his twitter. "I said I'll start the bidding at $10,000 and we'll see … maybe Drew Barrymore, Drew Carey. Well, word got back to Drew Carey and he started the bid at $25,000," said Olanoff. Then Drew Carey upped his bid to $100,000 if he could get 31,000 people to follow him on his twitter. And if Carey gets a million by Jan 1st he will donate a million dollars to Livestrong. You have until December 31, 2009 at midnight (PST) to help @Drew and @DrewFromTV in the fight against cancer. To follow Drew Olanoff, search @Drew. Does Drew Carey get the cancer with his winning bid? Drew has chunked out! What are they serving him on the set of The Price Is Right?
Award-winning filmmaker Steven Spielberg, long recognized for his artistic achievements, was honored with the Liberty Medal on yesterday for his compassion and humanitarian work.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee says U.S. President Barack Obama has won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize for "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples." The stunning choice made Obama the third sitting U.S. president to win the Nobel Peace Prize and shocked Nobel observers because Obama took office less than two weeks before the Feb. 1 nomination deadline. Obama's name had been mentioned in speculation before the award but many Nobel watchers believed it was too early to award the president. The committee said it attached special importance to Obama's vision of, and work for, a world without nuclear weapons. Theodore Roosevelt won the award in 1906 and Woodrow Wilson won in 1919. Former President Jimmy Carter won the award in 2002, while former Vice President Al Gore shared the 2007 prize with the U.N. panel on climate change. The Nobel committee received a record 205 nominations for this year's prize.
The popular slacker term “Whatever” was found "most annoying in conversation" by 47 percent of Americans surveyed in a Marist College poll released Wednesday. "Whatever" easily beat out "you know."

7:49 – Chris Hardwick, host of Web Soup, is in the studio. The show is like Talk Soup for the internet on G4. They take clips from all over the web, show them, and goof on them. They get all sorts of bizarre videos. Chris is also does standup comedy; he’ll be at the Troc tonight. He loves Twitter, but he doesn’t really talk about it on the stage. Chris was also the host of Singles Out. He loved working with Jenny McCarthy and Carmen Electra. Jenny asked him for a plunger on their first day working together. When working with Carmen early on her top came off and didn’t freak out about it because most everyone had seen them already. Danny could have used Singled Out when he was younger. He went home with a girl from a band who wanted Danny to see her pets, they were in her freezer. That’s not the right kind of beaver.
8:32 – Howard Eskin is on the show to talk about the Eagles/Buccaneers game this weekend. Shila has a bit of a crush on Howard. Things get a little creepy for Spike, Howard’s son. Howard anticipates that McNabb will wear a flak jacket for the game and Westbrook will be on the field too. LeSean McCoy will get lots of reps, but he needs to hold onto the ball and he’s been working on that lately. This will be the first regular-season game with McNabb and Vick, something that Howard’s not a fan of. Putting McNabb at WR for some of the Wildcat plays makes him uneasy because of the rib issue. The offense would be more effective with McCoy, Westbrook, or Jackson taking the snap. Setting up the run out of that formation to get a passing play just isn’t worth the trouble. Trotter should play about 20 snaps, usually on running situations. His speed had been an issue, so it might become an issue if a team audible out of a running play to a passing play. Howard hasn’t lost any sleep over the Bucs, even though their QB ran for almost 150 yards in their last game. They’re a bad team and the Birds are 15 point favorites. Players are running out of places to hit the quarterback with all the rule changes. If Howard had to bet, he’d go with the Eagles. A game he really likes is St. Louis over Minnesota.
Howard’s a little concerned with the Phils’ game 3 starter on Saturday. He anticipates Pedro will get the ball, but would prefer to see Blanton. Charlie overmanaged game 2 and also used up Pedro the last game that he pitched well, letting him go over 130 pitches.
9:10 – The lovely ladies from the Penthouse Club are in the studio to play The Naked Truth. They’ll read three facts about KISS and a listener that has all the facts correctly they’ll get to see KISS at the Wachovia Center on the 12th and meet the Band. Ava has a Marilyn Monroe vibe going on and Ricki is wearing the most bedazzled shirt Danny ever saw.
1. Gene Simmons’ birth name is Chaim Witz.
Ava takes off her shirt, no bra! YES!!! Rickie takes of her shirt and has a bedazzled bra. Nice.
2. Ace Frehley wrote the song ‘Shock Me’ after being electrocuted on stage in Lakeland, Florida.
Ricki takes of her pants to reveal some camouflage panties. Ava is wearing purple underwear.
3. Paul Stanley was born almost entirely deaf in his right ear.
Ricki takes off the bra to reveal a lot of sex tattoos. Is there a lust connection between Shila and Ava? There’s a mutual attraction, but Shila’s not ready to take that leap just yet.

6:03 – Danny was amazed by the amount of red on the streets yesterday. There’s a lot of Phillies pride right now. He went to dinner with the winning bidder from the Eagles Radiothon. They met up and Chima. Danny thought the guy looked familiar and couldn’t place it until he asked the guy if he was the singer from Danger Danger, Ted Poley. He nailed it, that was the guy. Danny saw them at the Coliseum playing for 70,000 people in Los Angeles. The guy left the band and now refurbishes antique toys. He had Danny sign a Partridge Family lunch box. The dinner went well and Danny mentioned how popular their song Naughty Naughty is at strip clubs when a stripper came up to tell Ted how much money she’s made dancing to that song. He responded that it was nice, but he hasn’t seen a dime. Ted and Danny might start a band, Danger Danny! 6:39 – SPORTS:
Cliff Lee pitched like an ace instead of a postseason rookie. Lee dominated the Colorado Rockies, tossing a six-hitter, and the Phillies began their World Series title defense with a 5-1 victory in their playoff opener Wednesday. Raul Ibanez had two hits and two RBIs, and Ryan Howard and Jayson Werth drove in runs with key extra-base hits off 15-game winner Ubaldo Jimenez. Lee, the reigning AL Cy Young Award winner, struck out five and had no walks in his first career playoff start. He retired 16 straight batters at one point until Garrett Atkins hit a wind-blown double in the seventh. Lee lost his shutout when Troy Tulowitzki singled in a run with two outs in the ninth. Game 2 of the best-of-five NL division series is set for Thursday with Cole Hamels, last year's World Series and NLCS MVP, on the mound for the Phillies against Colorado's Aaron Cook. The Rockies can blame their loss on the wind, but the Phils played in the same conditions. Danny liked watching Lee’s press conference because he wasn’t afraid to smile.
Who would have imagined that a home run by Phillies slugger Ryan Howard at Land Shark Stadium would turn into a legal tug-of-war with a 12-year-old kid from Miami? But that's exactly what unfolded in the two and a half months since Howard's 200th career home run ended up in the hands of Jennifer Valdivia. She wanted to take the ball home and show her friends. Howard wanted the ball because it represented a record: He was the player to most quickly achieve the milestone in league history. Earlier this week, the little girl got her wish. "My ball," Jennifer beamed as she held it tightly. "I have it, finally." It wasn't easy. After Jennifer caught the ball, the Phillies had her escorted alone to their clubhouse, where they talked her into exchanging it for an autographed baseball worth substantially less, said her Fort Lauderdale attorney, memorabilia enthusiast Norm Kent. Jennifer's family asked Kent to get the ball back. He sued the Phillies on Monday. By day's end, the little girl had her ball. Being involved in a lawsuit with a 12 year-old girl is a bad look.
Michael Vick has landed his own reality TV show. The Michael Vick Project will feature the athlete embarking on his comeback to the NFL with his new team following his incarceration on dog fighting charges. Vick says, "I just want people to really get to know me as an individual. What I want to do is change the perception of me. I am a human being. I've made some mistakes in the past, and I wish it had never happened. But it's not about how you fall, but about how you pick yourself up." Bad call. It’s too soon because he hasn’t settled into his role with the Birds and it’s another distraction.

The mayors of Philly and Denver say agencies that help the homeless will benefit from their friendly wager over the first-round playoff series between the Rockies and Phillies. If the Rockies win, Denver's Road Home would receive $1,000 from Comcast Corp., $500 from FirstBank of Colorado and $500 from Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania. Denver's Road Home says it would use the $2,000 to buy Thanksgiving meals and clothing for homeless families. If the Phillies win, Project H.O.M.E. would receive the $2,000. Much better idea than the normal Mayoral bets. Maybe the better bet would be beer for the homeless.
A Delaware County high school announced they will be closed for the rest of the week after confirmation that one student contracted the Swine Flu.

Authorities in Bethlehem say a man accused of accidentally killing his identical twin brother while trying to park a minivan has killed himself. 56-year-old Timothy Willgruber hanged himself in his Allentown home. His body was discovered Tuesday. Police say Willgruber faced charges including vehicular homicide and drunk driving stemming from the death of his brother Thomas last month in Bethlehem. Authorities say Thomas Willgruber was guiding his brother into a parking space when he was pinned to another vehicle. Bethlehem police say his brother was "devastated" after the accident. Family members said the brothers were best friends who rarely went a day without talking. Apparently life without his twin brother was unbearable. 7:27 – Danny Bonaduce: Life Coach

7:52 – Chenelle and Ashley from the Sixers Dance team are in the studio. Ashley is one of the new girls on the team. She’s from Atlanta, but came to Philly to attend the University of the Arts. The girls are wearing some new uniforms. They have a superhero vibe to them that Danny enjoys. All the dancers will be at the last Sixers practice at the Spectrum this Saturday at 11am. Most of Danny’s Spectrum memories have to do with concerts there, but also remembers Darryl Dawkins smashing backboards.
Tom’s Spectrum memory was seeing a Queensryche show there and also went to the last Sixers game there with tickets he won for listening to the show. Mark saw Van Halen at the Spectrum for three nights in a row in ’84. Mark and his friends saw the band return to the Airport Hilton each of the nights because they were staying at the same hotel. Mike was at the last game Dr. J played at the Spectrum dressed up as surgeons and was featured on the news that night. Ted went to see INXS at the Spectrum in ’89 and tried to sneak liquor into the building, got caught, and barfed all over some overweight girls with huge hair from the Northeast, also known as Hair Bears. Sharon saw Lynyrd Skynrd there at ’91 and met some drunk dude who wouldn’t leave her alone. Now they’re happily married.

Aerosmith is back in business...sort of. The band will play a private corporate gig next week at software giant Oracle's convention in San Francisco. Aerosmith has been out of commission since frontman Steven Tyler's accident two months ago when he fell off the stage during a concert in South Dakota. That caused the band's tour with ZZ Top to be canceled. Joe Perry is out promoting his new solo album and has reportedly not had any contact with Steven since the accident. Corporate gigs are where the big money is these days. Lionel Richie made up to $25 million a year with this kid on work. Danny’s too dirty to work at the corporate shows.
Dr. Phil is being sued by a woman who claims the TV shrink held her captive inside his production offices, forced her to stare at a naked man -- and then grabbed her left breast. According to the suit, a woman named Shirley Dieu claims she went to Phil to seek therapy in 2007 -- but instead she claims the doc tried to "brainwash" her and force her to endure all sorts of physical and emotional abuse. Shirley also claims Phil forced her to "be in the same room with a completely naked live man while he exposed his entire naked body, genitals and all." Shirley alleges she tried to escape the building, but "was blocked by the staff to prevent her from leaving." Shirley also claims Phil lied to her about being a "real" doctor -- alleging that the TV shrink "is not licensed to practice in the state of California." If you grab a woman against her will there is no such thing as the right breast, just the wrong one. Having had his own talk show before, Danny’s dressing room was the busiest place on the set. Handlers and producers would constantly walk in and out of the room, so there wouldn’t be much time for misbehavior.
The Griswald family is headed back to the big screen. According to the Hollywood Reporter, New Line is developing a new installment in the National Lampoon's Vacation series, only this time it will center on Clark Griswald's (Chevy Chase) now-grown son Rusty as he takes his family on a road trip vacation. There's no word on whether any of the original actors have been approached to be in the new film. Danny prefers more cerebral humor, but the Vacation movies always make him laugh. Danny dated the first Audrey years ago.

With the Phils in the NLDS and the Birds coming off the bye week, the teams’ leaders are going toe to toe. Metro takes Charlie Manuel because he’s got a World Series ring and some Southern grit. Shila was torn, but goes with Charlie too. She likes the way he gets fired up when arguing with the umps and Charlie has survived a heart attack, cancer, and a quadruple bypass. Danny takes Andy Reid because he’s younger and he played football in college.
Zoli calls to take Reid. Charlie is another call for Reid, he teaches people to inflict pain on the field. Roger is another call for Reid, he can put some weight behind his punches. Megan takes Manuel because he actually won a title. Adam thinks that whichever one of them can finish the walk into the ring would be the victor, probably Reid. Tim goes with Charlie because of Reid’s clock management. John takes Charlie too.
8:53 – Roger goes with Charlie because he’s a tough guy and could spit chewing tobacco in Reid’s eye. Bambi takes Charlie. Alan goes with Reid because of his ice cold press conference attitude. Tom goes with Reid because Charlie would bring Lidge in to close. Frank is another call for Charlie. Bob takes Reid because football is a man’s sport. The phones are tied up. With 50.7 percent of the text votes Andy Reid wins.

Today acclaimed director Steven Spielberg, maker of Jurassic Park, Schindler's List, Goonies, ET and many more Box Office hits, will return to Philly, where he grew up, to collect another award. This prize is not for his achievement as a movie storyteller honors his work as a Story Collector. The Liberty Medal will be given to him by former President Bill Clinton at the National Constitution Center. In 1994, Spielberg dedicated profits from Schindler's List to create the Shoah Foundation, which has taken video testimony in 56 nations and 32 languages from survivors of the Nazi and Rwandan campaigns of genocide. Spielberg's initiative ensured that the six million European and one million African casualties of bigotry would not be statistics, but inspirations to defenders of liberty. The prestigious Liberty Medal is the American equivalent of the Nobel Peace Prize, have included South African President Nelson Mandela and U2 singer-activist Bono.

Metro celebrated his three year anniversary with his girlfriend last night. Is it time to propose? Metro was waiting for Gordon to propose to his girlfriend of 10 years, which happened earlier this week. Engagements are an escape plan for Danny, it gives a guy time to figure out his way out of the relationship.

Marlins reliever Sean West had a wild Saturday night, being involved in one fight, nearly provoking another, then getting lucky with a groupie at his hotel.
West, 23, was leaving G Lounge (111 S. 17th) close to 2 a.m. Sunday, when he was involved in a bit of pushing and shoving with a few other men. The 6-foot-8 rookie, who appears intoxicated in a photo we've posted at PhillyGossip. com, then climbed into a limousine with five women, cleat chasers who had traveled from Florida to hang out with the Marlins.
Limousine driver Big Penny says that while driving on Locust Street near 13th, West heckled a group of men, who then surrounded the car and threatened the ballplayer and that Big Penny pleaded with the angry crowd not to harm his car, a Cadillac DTS sedan.
Penny says a member of West's harem vomited in the car as they traveled up 13th Street, then again on Market Street, causing him to pull over at the Robert N.C. Nix Sr. Federal Building, at 9th and Market, where Penny says West nearly passed out.
Penny says West "was laying on the ledge with his flip-flops on" as the girls tried to make their friend feel better.
Penny says West told him that he would pay for any cleaning of the limo, and that when they arrived at the Hyatt Regency Penn's Landing, where the team was staying, West got out of the car with one of the women and said they were heading to get a towel. He also announced his intention to have sex with his companion, Penny says, and never returned to the limo.
Penny says he called West in the morning demanding payment for the cleanup, and West claimed he didn't know the women. A Marlins spokeswoman did not return our detailed request for comment yesterday.
That’s a great night for Danny. The only thing this guy that was smart was to declare his intention to have sex with the girl with witnesses around. Danny used to give Mario Lopez lessons on how to stay in the clear when banging groupies and not worry about unfounded claims. He told Mario to walk a girl down to the hotel lobby, ask the front desk worker what time it is and double checking, tell the girl you had a good time and split. That way there’s a witness, the time is documented and the girl is seen leaving happy.

The Calgary Zoo said the two men sneaked into the facility after midnight and headed to the Siberian tiger enclosure, where one of the men climbed over an outer fence. "He did not enter the exhibit, but did come into contact with one of the tigers and sustained significant injuries to his arms," the zoo said in a statement. Alerted to the situation, security guards took the alleged intruders to their office, where the injured man was treated before being rushed to hospital. Police are investigating.
A 27-year-old from Sweden woke up with a six-inch penis tattooed on his leg after a night of intense vodka drinking. The man, identified only as Joel, has no recollection of how he ended up with the lewd picture inked on his skin. "The last thing I remember is leaving my apartment," he said. Thank goodness he has friends to fill him - and us - in on all the humiliating details. After hitting the town's nightspots, Joel and his friends ended up at a hamburger restaurant where Joel announced that he wanted to get a tattoo. As fate would have it, a tattoo artist was sitting in the next booth and agreed to ink him. Joel gave the artist free reign to draw whatever he wanted, which turned out to be a bad move. 7:32 – Danny Bonaduce: Life Coach

The David Letterman extortion saga is bringing some unwanted attention to his former intern Stephanie Birkitt. It was pages from Birkitt's diary that her ex-boyfriend Robert "Joe" Halderman used to try and get $2 million from Dave, and according to the New York Post, those pages revealed that Birkitt was still having sex with Letterman during the time she lived with Halderman. Sources say Birkitt insisted to Halderman that she and the Late Show host had "a platonic relationship," but in reality their relationship was so strong that Letterman did everything he could to keep her on his payroll, even offering her a job as his personal lawyer when she Law School back in June 2008. Birkitt then tried to convince Halderman to have children with her, claiming Halderman could stay home with the baby now that she was getting a big paycheck from Letterman. But sources say in December, Halderman was furious after reading Birkitt's diary and discovering that his girlfriend was still having an affair with Letterman. Danny would never get extorted for this. Rather than get blackmailed he’d run home and come clean. Guys slip up every once in a while, so give them a break ladies.

Spike TV has come up with a list of the Top Ten actresses past their expiration date. Coming in at number one is Julia Roberts, who turns 43 this month. 37-year-old Cameron Diaz came in second, followed by Meg Ryan, 48, Sarah Jessica Parker, 44,and Lindsay Lohan, who is the youngest on the list at 23.Rounding out the Top Ten are: 40-year-old Renee Zellweger, Helen Hunt, 46, Drew Barrymore, 34, Teri Hatcher, 44, and Nicole Kidman, 42. Danny’s way past his expatriation date and is never one to turn down sex. Lohan’s far from done though. He anticipates a tremendous comeback who just had a huge flip out. Sarah Jessica Parker makes Celine Dion look attractive. Cameron Diaz has awful skin but a great body. 8:38 – Phils legend Darren Daulton is in the studio. Sweet. Dutch played with some great players Hollins, Dykstra, Kruk, and Williams. There was only one Jim Eisenreich Tourrettes flip out. Jim lost it on the GM after winning the NLCS in ’93. He hasn’t talked to Dykstra in a while, but doesn’t think he’s doing bad as the papers would have all of us believe. Darren’s major league debut was mind blowing, walking into a locker room with Joe Morgan, Pete Rose, and Mike Schmidt. He didn’t play for a few weeks after getting called up because he had shoulder problem. That late start was a little awkward because he wanted to contribute. He still remembers his first hit like it was yesterday. Dutch had a few knee problems and didn’t play as well as he had hoped early in his career. As much as the fans can give players a hard time this city loves the ’93 Phillies and sees that with the 2009 Phillies. Dutch digs Chase’s quiet ways and thinks the team will play well against the Rockies. It depends on the top of the order getting on base and closing the games. Darren will be auctioning off some old baseball memorabilia he’s had in storage collecting dust. After seeing that Dykstra sold his ’86 Mets ring for $56,000 he decided it was time to part with his Marlins World Series ring. There’s some old game used gear and the money is going to his kids’ college tuition. If Darren gets a nice tender for the ring he plans to hand deliver it.

Right now in Japan they have developed a brand new suit that acts as a repellent against the swine flu. The Haruyama Trading Co. developed a suit it claims protects the person wearing it against the H1N1 virus. And it's a real business suit, not a Hazmat suit. The suit is coated with the chemical titanium dioxide, which reacts to light to break down and kill the virus when it comes into contact with it.

The Eagles returned to work yesterday with all their offensive weapons in place and ready to go. After getting the bye week off, coach Andy Reid's squad reunited at the NovaCare Complex for a short practice that included quarterback Donovan McNabb and running back Brian Westbrook. "I feel pretty good," McNabb said. "After the bye week, I was able to do a lot of different things in practice as well as preparing for the game. "The key for me is to get that timing back to where we had it in training camp as well as in preseason. . . . And I think as an offense, we have to keep this thing rolling." Westbrook, who missed the Eagles' Week 3 win over Kansas City with a sprained right ankle, also returned to the practice field, but he did not make an appearance in the locker room while it was open to reporters.
Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera was taken to a police station over the weekend after getting into a fight with his wife at their suburban Detroit home when he came home drunk, authorities said Monday. Birmingham Police Chief Richard Patterson said Rosangel Cabrera called 911 at 6 a.m. Saturday, requesting police assistance. An alcohol test found that Miguel Cabrera was at three times the legal limit for driving, police said. No charges will be filed and both Cabreras refused medical attention. "We determined that they both contributed to the domestic assault," Patterson said. "It was minor in nature. They did have some marks on their faces. We could not determine who the aggressor was." Rosangel Cabrera asked that her husband leave the house, so officers took him to the police station, Patterson said. Cabrera was administered a breath test by police and registered a 0.26 blood-alcohol reading, Patterson said. The legal limit for Michigan drivers is 0.08. Cabrera was picked up at the station by Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowski around 7:30 a.m. What’s worse, getting picked up from jail by your dad or your team’s General Manager?

Police are searching for the thieves who have been targeting soccer goal posts at a club in Northeast Philadelphia. The thieves have been cutting up the aluminum goal posts at the Philadelphia Soccer Club and selling it for scrap. Eight goals have been stolen costing the organization roughly $15,000. Parents are outraged saying that it is pathetic. The club has painted all the aluminum goals white because painted aluminum is not worth as much. So far it seems to be working. Danny has to side with the hunters on this one.
Officials at Valley Forge National Historical Park said yesterday that they would begin shooting massive amounts of deer, possibly as soon as next month, rejecting a Villanova activist's proposal to shrink the herd through contraception. Park managers also said that the growing number of deer would require them to shoot more animals than originally expected - 500 the first year, 500 the second, and between 250 and 300 in years three and four. But others say the park has rushed toward a lethal option, ignoring other, more humane possibilities. Priscilla Cohn, a Penn State professor, who runs Pity Not Cruelty, made a formal proposal to park officials suggesting they fence portions of the park so the deer couldn't eat saplings and plants. She also proposed dosing female deer with contraceptives so they would not reproduce. And she offered to pay for the whole thing - $125,000. The park is FULL of deer and there’s not enough food for all of them. Danny’s had a vasectomy and would rather have been shot.
An Alabama woman has been charged with endangering the welfare of a child after police say she let her daughter ride in a cardboard box on top of their van. Police said the woman told them the box was too big to go inside the van, and that her daughter was inside the box to hold it down. She also told officers it was safe because she had the box secured to the van with a clothes hanger. The 13-year-old daughter wasn't harmed and was turned over to a relative. The mom was really heading to the UPS store, reading to ship the little girl off to Guam. 7:33 – Danny Bonaduce: Life Coach

7:50 – Dustin Diamond, who played Screech on Saved By The Bell, is on the show. He and Danny had some nice battles on Hulk Hogan’s Celebrity Championship Wrestling. Dustin was impressed by Danny’s pain threshold. Butterbean ended up winning the whole show, he cracked a few of Dustin’s ribs in the finale. Neither Dustin or Danny liked working with Dennis Rodman. Dustin wrote a tell-all book about his time on Saved By The Bell called Behind the Bell. Dustin dishes some dirt, including questioning where Mark-Paul Gossellar put all that muscle during Saved By The Bell: The College Years. Mario Lopez was also accused of rape, a story that was never talked about on the E! True Hollywood Story. Times have changed since then; it was easier to get away with stuff then. Dustin didn’t write it to slam Mario, but to share a story with the readers. He thinks that people might be shocked to learn that Mark-Paul was pretty shy even though he was the star of the show. There’s also a story inferring that Lark Vorhies was on some narcotics while recording DVD commentary for the second season. Danny looks forward to getting a hold of the book once Shila brings his copy back.

David Letterman took time out to apologize to his wife Regina Laskoon his show last night. "She has been horribly hurt by my behavior, and when something happens like that, if you hurt a person and it's your responsibility, you try to fix it," he said during his opening monologue. "At that point, there's only two things that can happen: Either you're going to make some progress and get it fixed, or you're going to fall short and perhaps not get it fixed, so let me tell you folks, I got my work cut out for me." The talk show host also took time out to apologize to is current and former staff members of the Late Show. "I'm terribly sorry that I put the staff in that position. Inadvertently, I just wasn't thinking ahead," Letterman said. "My thanks to the staff for, once again, putting up with something stupid I've gotten myself involved in." He did take time out to get a few jokes in, beginning his monologue by saying, "Wow, that weekend went fast." Cheating on your girlfriend isn’t as bad as cheating on your wife and Letterman wasn't married when he had his flings.
California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is one celebrity who thinks director Roman Polanski needs to face the consequences of his 1978 conviction for having sex with a 13-year-old girl. While admitting that he's a fan of Polanski's work, Schwarzenegger says he has no plans to pardon the director. "It doesn't matter if you are a big-time movie actor or a big-time movie director or producer. I think that he is a very respected person, and I am a big admirer of his work," said The Governator. "But nevertheless, I think he should be treated like everyone else. One should look into all of the allegations, not only his allegations but the allegations about his case. Was there something done wrong? You know, was injustice done in the case?" Polanski has to face the consequences. Sex with a minor under any circumstances is highly illegal. If the victim comes to his aid, it could spare him from jail.
Simon Cowell spared no expense celebrating his 50th birthday this past weekend. The American Idol judge spent over $1.5 million on the party for 400 guests at Wrotham Park in the English countryside. The venue, which sits on 300 acres of land, cost close to $10,000 to rent for the night, plus an additional $111,000 for a large tent, not to mention another tent for people to smoke in. Some guests include, Gordon Ramsay, Kevin Spacey, Ryan Seacrest, Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne and Kate Moss, were driven to the location by limo, at a cost of about $80,000, and there was some talk that a private jet had been chartered to bring Cowell's American guests to the bash.

Later they were joined by two inflatable vibrators, which danced up and down beside them. While many guests found it hysterical, Simon was said to be mortified that his elderly mother Julie and her church-going friends including her priest were there to witness it. 8:31 – Danny has misplaced his stripper so Emerald, one of the ladies who works at the Penthouse Club has stepped up to do the job today.
Have Emerald ever seen a serious pole injury? Not personally, but she’s heard about girls sliding down the pole a little too quickly which leads to a bruise or two.
The largest tip Emerald got was $300 for one lap dance, but declines gifts because that leads to trouble.
How does Emerald keep her razor burn down? She shaves one day and tans the next day. A nice, clean razor is always a must.
Is there a huge locker room with a gigantic shower that the ladies clean each other off in after a night of glittery fun? Emerald likes to keep it all business all the time at the club, but she’ll check out other girls.
Is there competition when it comes to costumes or stage routines? Not with Emerald. If another girl wants to try something she did, good luck to her.
Does Emerald ever get excited when giving a lap dance? If she get turned on while working she tries not to let the customer know, but she has a lot of fun on the job and sometimes cant’ believe she gets paid to do this.
When a dancer approaches a woman customer do they do it because they’re interested in the girl or is because they tend to tip more? Emerald approaches the woman first out of respect if she brought her husband or boyfriend with her.
Men often for the dancers, but do the girls fall for the guy? It’s okay for Emerald to have a crush, but it’s all business. It’s a job at the end of the day.
How would an entertainer tell her parent what she’s doing? Emerald hasn’t told her parents, but if they want to know they’ll have to bring it up.

The Phillies have lost three in a row since clinching their third consecutive East title with Wednesday’s 10-3 win over Houston. The slide has prevented them from being able to secure the best record in the league and home-field advantage throughout the NL playoffs. The Phils haven’t looked very good at home lately, losing 4-3 to Florida on Saturday following a 7-2 defeat in Friday night’s opener of this season-ending three-game set. However, St. Louis’ 5-4 loss to Milwaukee on Saturday gave the Phillies home field in their division series.
Publicly, the Phillies say they don't know. But in his news conference yesterday, which came after Paul Hoover's RBI single in the 10th lifted the Phillies to the walkoff win, manager Charlie Manuel sounded as if he is leaning toward keeping Happ in the rotation and starting Lee in Game 1 and Hamels in Game 2. Lee and Hamels are both in line to start Games 1 and 2 on full rest. Lee would be on 5 days' rest for Game 1. Hamels would be on 4 days' rest, but he pitched just three innings on Saturday and could conceivably be ready. Both pitchers will be available to pitch Game 5, if necessary. But Manuel also said he believes that Happ had the capability of pitching Game 1 or 2. "We have three lefthanded starters, and I think actually all three of them are very capable of being the No. 1 starter," Manuel said.

If convicted, he could be sentenced to up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. She might not have set it up, but she’s certainly milked it for all she can.

Two Flyers fans who took a bus trip to see their team play in New Jersey were critically stabbed by other Flyers fans who were waiting for the bus to return at the Arena Bowling Alley on Roosevelt Boulevard in northeast Philly. On the way back from the game in Newark, in which the Flyers defeated the New Jersey Devils 5-2, one of the men on the bus called his brother, an off-duty police officer from the 18th District, and told him that there might be trouble when the bus got back in the city, It’s still not clear why people on the bus expected trouble, but when they arrived, the men trying to get on the bus instead ran towards the off duty cop and began kicking and punching him. Meanwhile, the cop's brother and the other fans got off the bus and were fighting with the opposing group. The cop's 28-year-old brother was stabbed once in the chest and once in the back by a man in a Flyers' jersey and a 26-year-old man, was stabbed once in the back by a different guy who also wore a Flyers jersey. They are both in critical condition. Only 1 arrest has been made. Why aren’t people breaking up fights these days? It’s like lions devouring the Christians.

More details are now known about the attempt to extort $2 million from David Letterman. On Friday, accused extortionist Robert Halderman, a producer on CBS's 48 Hours, was arraigned on charges of attempted grand larceny in the first degree. In a press conference, the New York DA revealed that Letterman's attorney and Haldermen met on three occasions at the Essex House hotel in Manhattan and that the attorney wore a wire. Halderman was busted when he attempted to cash Letterman's phony $2 million check. Halderman had threatened to reveal information about Letterman's relationship with female employees, and reportedly got the info from his ex-girlfriend, Stephanie Birkett, Letterman's former assistant who has worked for Late Night for 10 years and appeared on air many times. According to TMZ, the 34-year-old Birkitt and Letterman had a sexual relationship during a time before the birth of Dave's son Harry and before he married Regina Lasko. While she was living with Halderman, Birkitt told him about the relationship. In his attempt to get money, Halderman sent the talk show host "parts of her (Birkitt) diary and personal correspondence," according to the arrest warrant. Radaronline reports that Birkitt had no idea that her ex was using her materials to extort money and is said to be "mortified." Halderman pled not guilty and his bail was set at $200,000. Meanwhile, TMZ reports that it's no surprise Halderman was after money from David Letterman. Apparently, Halderman was required to pay his ex-wife Patty Monet $6,800 a month. If Halderman didn’t try to deposit the check then he might not have been able to be charged. If Danny extorted anyone he’d ask for gold bullion. How could Birkit be surprised that her boyfriend solves mysteries for a living and put all this together? Danny thinks about criminal activity when writing out the monthly alimony check, but it usually has to do with a sniper rifle and his ex-wife though.

In Bridgewater, South Dakota a meat plant that had been abandoned by its owner has stunk up the entire town. 44 tons of bison meat managed to hold its own for months due to the brutal chill of two South Dakota winters. However, once the power was cut and spring arrived, the smell of rotting meat took over. It stank at the bank. It smelled at the law office. It reeked at the cafe. The odor was so bad, that a crew of 18 city and county workers tried to clean up the nasty mess of maggots and rotting meat. The worst part is that the owner still hasn't paid the $11,151 cleanup bill, and owes about $14,085 in unpaid property taxes on top of it.

It was like a beauty pageant of alcohol. Danny usually doesn’t drink brown liquor and usually sticks to clear liquor, but started off the night with a bourbon drink mixed with cinnamon. He also ran into Daily News gossip columnist Dan Gross, who mentioned in his column that Danny would be judging the drinks for the evening. Gross got more than a few letters telling him that he was mistaken because Danny is in ‘The Program.’ Those days are over and Gross wanted to know how to respond. Danny’s quote was ‘I don’t really like alcohol, but I need something to wash down all the pills.’ Danny took his sweet time judging and was the last one to finish all the beverages. Having to be at work so early after a day of drinking so much is not fun to deal with. Danny’s humor might have been lost on the high society crowd. Telling other people at the party that everyone there is more attractive after a night of drinks didn’t get the response he was hoping for. Danny was a big fan of one fruity drink that knocked his socks off, he even went up to other girls telling them he loved them because he thought they were his fiancé Amy. 6:36 – SPORTS:
A day after wrapping up their third straight National League East title, the Phillies turned their focus toward earning home-field advantage. They failed to gain ground on the Dodgers Thursday night.

"Nike does not have a contractual relationship with Michael Vick," Nike spokesman KeJuan Wilkins said in a statement. "We have agreed to supply product to Michael Vick as we do a number of athletes who are not under contract with Nike." It could have been Just Chew It instead of Just Do It!
One minute, Brett Favre sternly insists he isn't out for revenge against the Green Bay Packers on Monday night. The next, he says it's only human for him to feel like he has something to prove to the team that traded him. In his first organized interview session with Wisconsin-based reporters since well before his unretirement saga went public last summer, Favre reluctantly revisited his departure from Green Bay. He also awkwardly backpedaled from previous comments that indicated a grudge against Packers general manager Ted Thompson. Favre will be wearing the purple uniform of the Packers' bitter NFC North rival at the Metrodome on Monday night, but said his career moves over the past year aren't based on revenge. "Never was motivated for that reason," Favre said in a conference call. "No. That has nothing to do with it." But when reminded of his comments in February, in which Favre said part of his motivation for coming back last season was "sticking it" to Thompson, Favre acknowledged he did want to show the Packers he still belonged in the NFL. The Packers turned Farve away, so he should be allowed to cash in and play where he wants to.

And, wouldn't you know it, Tuiasosopo delivered as if on cue, exactly as Blowers had called it. They weren’t laughing at Blowers when his prediction came true.

A reward will be given for the calf's safe return. A happy ending to a cudnapping. It was the first time at a college party that someone said ‘Who brought the cow?’ and they weren’t talking about a fat girl.
Some TD Bank customers cannot see up-to-date account information due to a glitch in the computer system related to its combination with New Jersey-based Commerce Bank. Frustrated customers were lined up outside a TD branch in Haverford yesterday. Some deposits were not showing up, and some customers were unable to see how much money was in their account. The delay means customers can't check their balances in real-time, and some have worried about overdrawing their accounts. Customers began experiencing problems after the two banks combined their computer systems over the weekend. After some rude behavior Danny wanted to close his account at a bank. When they told him they couldn’t give him his money, so he went on a tear saying that it was a bank robbery, and he was getting robbed. Yelling ‘bank robbery’ at a bank didn’t sit well with management who called the authorities. There are two banks in Los Angeles that Danny is not allowed in.
The world's oldest human-linked skeleton was found in Ethiopia. The discovery of "Ardi," who lived 4.4 million years ago in what is now Africa, changes scientific beliefs on the origins of humankind. The 110-pound, 4-foot female existed a million years before "Lucy," who was previously thought to be the earliest human skeleton. This new find also provides evidence that chimps and humans evolved from the same ancestor, but each evolved and changed differently along the way. Now there’s a whole lotta text books in schools that are worthless.
A Pennsylvania man, Rick C. Musgnung, was arrested for rubbing his crotch on inanimate objects in a video store. Allegedly, he put his man parts on videos, other merchandise and the floor, and he told a girl working at the store that she must attract a lot of business. Another time, he allegedly performed a sex act on a gumball machine. Musgnung's was also caught for entering the home of two girls he saw at the public library. He was found by the girls in their living room petting the family dog. Danny used to rub his crotch on an inanimate object, and then he divorced her.
An elderly Texas man was arrested last week after he allegedly attacked a female store clerk by blowing a powdery substance in her face - twice. Turns out, the man has a sneezing fetish. He becomes aroused when women say "Achoo!" But instead of just waiting for them to have a cold, he has some odd ways of tickling their noses. While on the checkout line at a local, he tried to make the clerk sneeze by throwing white pepper at her. Danny would like a kinky fetish like licking high heels. Shila worked with a guy who would sit in a parking lot watching girls in high heels all day 7:35 – Danny Bonaduce: Life Coach
Amy met a man about a year ago and started a no-strings attached affair. Now they’ve fallen for each other and wonder what the next step is. The other guy is married too. Is the affair still worth having? She doesn’t want to divorce her husband and leave, but continue to get away with the affair. Amy is having her cake and eat it too. What good is cake you can’t eat. She’s happily married, has kids, but crushing her husband isn’t an option. Should she keep the affair going? Cake is made for eating. At some point Danny thinks she’ll get caught, even on purpose.
Jordan was on Aderol, but doesn’t like taking pills. Is there anything she could take to substitute in for her ADHD? Only pharmaceuticals. Danny loved his Aderol when it came to concentration, but he couldn’t sit still. Danny did like an energy drink called Red Line, but it also gave him the shakes. Maybe half the dosage of the Aderol.
7:52 – Fitness legend Jack Lalanne is on the show, he’s one of Danny’s heroes. Jacks is 95 and still have some killer biceps, he’s a little hard of hearing though, so his wife Elaine is repeating all of Danny’s questions for Jack. He’s a sweet old man who’s been a fitness fanatic since the ‘30’s. He’s invented numerous weight lifting machines and pieces of gym equipment, but never patented any of it. He’s pulled some amazing stunts over the years including towing 76 people in 13 boats at the age of 62 with his hands behind his back. Danny’s had his hands behind him, but they were in handcuffs. Not quite the same. Jack has a new juicer that he’s pimping and still rocks the blue jumpsuit.

David Letterman revealed on last night's show that he was a victim of an extortion plot. Someone threatened to reveal he had sexual relationships with female employees if he didn't hand over $2 million. "This morning, I did something I've never done in my life," Letterman told his studio audience. "I had to go downtown and testify before a grand jury." After referring the matter to the Manhattan District Attorney's office, an investigation began and Letterman was told to issued the extortionist a "phony" check. The investigation ended yesterday with an arrest, although the identity of the criminal was not revealed. In his testimony the talk show host admitted to the sexual relationships. "My response to that is, yes I have," Letterman said. "Would it be embarrassing if it were made public? Perhaps it would. I feel like I need to protect these people. I need to certainly protect my family." Letterman has been married to girlfriend Regina Lasko since March. They began dating in 1986 and have a son Harry, who is almost 6. He’s not sexually harassing them, they’re boning him and they’re boning him. He owned this case of attempted extortion. Shila’s never dated anyone she’s worked with, that’s a strange language to Danny. WYSP is the only place he’s worked that he hasn’t dated a coworker. The way to cheat is to nail a girl who has more to lose than you do.
Cool movie news:
• Director Michael Bay confirmed on his website that he's on board for Transformers 3, which already has a release date, July 1st, 2011.
• Hugh Jackman is in talks to star in the film Real Steel, playing a boxer who tries to reinvent himself when human boxing becomes obsolete after robots take the place of fighters. Jackman will play an ex-boxer who becomes a Robot Boxing promoter. Danny will see any movie with Hugh Jackman, even if it was an awful remake.
• Fox Searchlight is in talks to develop a film about punk rock legends the Ramones, based on the upcoming memoir I Slept With Joey Ramone, by the musician's brother Mickey Leigh. The book, hitting stores in December, centers on Joey's life, and the film is expected to feature the band's tunes. There’s also a movie about Joan Jett’s first band, The Runaways. That movie should be titled ‘Half The Band Slept With Danny.’
• Robert Downey, Jr. is in talks to star in Steven Spielberg's remake of the Jimmy Stewart film Harvey, about a man whose best friend is a large bunny that no one else can see. 8:32 – Howard Eskin is on the show to talk about the Eagles and the Phillies. It seems that McNabb will be ready to go after the bye and the Trotter signing doesn’t leave a spot open for Runyan though. Danny has a loyalty to Runyan because they’re buds, but loyalty doesn’t always make it easy to make the best decisions for the team. Is the Wildcat hurting or helping the team? He thinks it’s a waste of time because Vick’s just not necessary. There are other players on the team that could be more successful taking the direct snap. Eskin’s opinions get him in trouble sometimes. He doesn’t think the Phils will get to the World Series and that’s not sitting well with some people. He thinks that the team has all sorts of issues including the bench, the bullpen, and the starting rotation. Who should close? Madson, he’s the only option. Lidge isn’t the same guy he was last year and there’s a bunch of hurt pitchers in the bullpen including Myers and Romero. They’re a good team, but they’re not great. They are close to having the best record in the NL though. Howard thinks that the Cardinals have a better starting rotation. Colorado has the best record since May too. The Phils got worse at the end of the season because of injuries. Howard is Spike’s dad; it leads to some interesting moments on and off the air. Howard didn’t grow up a hockey fan, so he never had the interest in the Flyers that he does have in the Phillies, the Sixers, and the Eagles. Could Howard make it as an executive in professional sports? He thinks he could handle being a GM in baseball, not so much football though. Managing takes nothing however. Who would Howard like the Phils to play in the NLDS? The Dodgers because they’re a mess right now. There’s not a strong chance that’ll happen now.
9:07 – John Lilley from The Hooters is in the studio, he’s about to release his first solo album Lucky Kind of Guy.

Playing the Wall concert in Berlin was an amazing moment in his music career. John will be playing the upstairs intimate stage at World Café Life tomorrow night. John also played with Rober Hazard too. John notices Danny’s vodka, get ready for Tanked Up At 10! John I openly gay, but it hasn’t hurt him. It hasn’t been an obstacle and didn’t get any backlash for coming out. He’s been with the same man for 30 years. Danny’s had a few marriages in that time. John plays the mandolin on And We Danced. It can rock when played right. Maybe John could teach Danny to play guitar, he’s been playing the same three cords for the past 30 years.

Delaware County authorities arrested nine people, 8 from PA and 1 NJ in connection to a motorcycle and ATV theft ring. The suspects are accused of stealing the vehicles and commercial landscaping equipment, from Delaware, Chester, Montgomery and Berks counties. The thieves used Web sites such as eBay and Craigslist to find their victims. The stolen items are valued at more than $300,000. At some point shouldn’t people catch onto this? Inside every man a little evil lurks. Even a decent man will do something wrong under the right circumstances.
The economy is still scaring shoppers. So much so that consumers plan to spend an average of $56.31 on Halloween this year, down from $66.54 in 2008. Only 62 percent of those surveyed said they expected to celebrate the holiday this year, down from last year. Among other things, consumers plan to cut down on candy purchases, reuse old decorations and make their own costumes. Danny has everything Danny needs for a costume he already wears daily with his extravagant wardrobe.
A licensed practical nurse in Montgomery County, who is trusted to care for the elderly, has been arrested after being accused of causing harm to one of his patients. Abiodun Oke was taking care of an 81-year-old female patient who suffered from dementia, pneumonia and who had a tracheotomy. The facility has a visual and audible alarm that goes off when a patient's ventilator becomes detached. Apparently, Oke reattached the 81-year-old patient's ventilator twice, but when the alarm went off a third time for a minute and a half, Oke did nothing. According to court documents, Oke said: "I connected her twice, now I want to see her suffer." The facility fired Oke right after the alleged incident. The patient is doing OK. If Danny gets a sponge bath he wants it from an impractical nurse.
Researchers at Princeton University asked nearly half a million people to rate their happiness on a scale of one to ten, with ten being the happiest. What they found is that the shortest women rate their happiness to be an average of 6.55. But women who are taller than the average height of five-foot four-inches rate their happiness to be an average of 6.64. Meanwhile, the shortest men rate their happiness to be 6.41, while men above the average height of five-foot ten-inches rate their happiness to be an average of 6.55. Overall, the study found that tall people experience LESS pain, sadness, anger and stress than shorter people . . . and they get MORE enjoyment out of life. And each extra inch of height a person has brings them the same amount of happiness as about a 4% pay raise. Money might not be able to buy happiness, but it can rent it. Height makes Danny happy when he asks taller people to reach things he cant. He’s not unhappy as he is though.

6:01 – Wooooo! The Phils won the NL East last night and Brad Lidge was on the mound when it happened. Danny loves that Lidge got the last out and won’t be afraid that throw it in Spike’s face. Last night Danny and his fiancée, Amy, got into a not-quite fight. Danny hasn’t been able to find the motivation to go to the gym on a regular basis these days. While talking about this with a friend of Amy’s, a lady friend who is a fitness fanatic, Danny had the bright idea of allowing the other girl to move into the house so they could train together. That did not sit well with Amy. It seemed reasonable to Danny. Doesn’t it make sense to invite a girl to live in the house that can act as a live-in trainer for Danny so he can get fit with his crazy work hours? Not to Shila. Would Danny allow a good looking chef in the house to work with Amy in the kitchen so she could learn the culinary arts? Danny says that’s cool. Shila and Metro call Danny on that and think he’d flip out and throw the guy out. Amy shot down Danny’s great live-in hot trainer idea. On paper it’s a good idea, but Danny saw the logic in Amy’s position and conceded that a hot, sweaty chick in the basement would lead to nothing but trouble for him. 6:37 – SPORTS:
The Philadelphia Phillies won another NL East championship. Now they can rest and prepare to defend their World Series title. "I'll celebrate when we get to the big one," Manuel said. Kyle Kendrick pitched three scoreless innings in relief of Pedro Martinez and the Phillies beat the Houston Astros 10-3 on Wednesday night to clinch their third straight division crown. Raul Ibanez hit his career-high 34th homer and Jimmy Rollins had a double and triple for Philadelphia, which is heading to the postseason for the third straight year for the first time since Mike Schmidt, Steve Carlton and crew won three consecutive NL East titles from 1976-78. Danny thought it was a classy celebration all around. Charlie waiting to celebrate until the big one and the tribute to Harry Kalas. Danny loves the drama of sports and is geared up to see how these playoffs go. Loyalty should be to the fans, but not the players.
Jamie Moyer needs surgery to repair three torn muscles in his groin and lower abdomen and will miss the rest of the season and postseason. Phillies team doctor Michael Ciccotti said Wednesday night that Moyer will have surgery in the next seven to 10 days. He is expected to be ready for spring training, Dr. Ciccotti said. Moyer injured himself Tuesday while throwing a pitch during a relief outing in the Phillies' 7-4 win over the Houston Astros. He had an MRI on Wednesday and then got a second opinion Wednesday night that confirmed the Phillies' diagnosis.
Michael Vick is back with Nike two years after the company severed ties over the quarterback's involvement in a dogfighting ring. "Mike has a long-standing, great relationship with Nike, and he looks forward to continuing that relationship," his agent, Joel Segal, said Wednesday. Segal would not reveal terms of the agreement. That’s a ballsy move. Sponsors drop athletes at the first sign of trouble, but brining on a player so soon after such controversy doesn’t happen often.

A suspect is in police custody after causing a scare by bringing what turned out to be fake grenades into a Northeast Philly movie theater. Kevin Michael walked into the Franklin Mills theater Tuesday dressed all in black and had two grenades dangling from his belt. As everyone rushed out, police rushed into the theater and arrested him. He allegedly told the police that he didn't understand why everyone was so upset. It was later determined that the two grenades were inert military training devices. Records show that Michael's criminal history spans two decades and he has 20 prior arrests, seven convictions and at least four prison terms. Michael faces a laundry list of charges that include terroristic threats and resisting arrest. However, he does not face weapons charges because the replica grenades are legal and for sale. This might not be easy for the prosecution. If he didn’t say anything when entering the theater, there were no threats. His previous record won’t help him though.
Authorities discovered a multitude of animals living in filthy conditions at a house in Port Richmond Tuesday afternoon. There were 13 cats, six dogs, and four of the animals found dead. Neighbors contacted authorities when they noticed a foul smell coming from the home. The house belongs to a woman named Virginia Wetzel. Neighbors claim she lived alone and would often be confrontational when approached about the stench. SPCA officials said a one foot layer of animal feces covered an upstairs bedroom. Back in 2004, Wetzel was convicted of animal cruelty charges, but she failed to show up for a hearing. So a bench warrant was issued for her arrest. She now faces 21 more charges of animal cruelty. Danny’s known people that have had bench warrants for years before they get picked up for other things.
Sticky the Cat has finally found a home. After receiving dozens of applications, an anonymous family has adopted the cat.

A devastating earthquake rocked Indonesia Wednesday, killing at least 200 people and trapping thousands under collapsed buildings. The magnitude of the quake was 7.6. It occurred on the same fault line that triggered the 2004 Asian tsunami that killed more than 230,000 people in a dozen countries.. A tsunami warning was issued for countries along the Indian Ocean and panicked residents fled to higher ground. The Indonesian earthquake occurred a day after a major quake in the South Pacific triggered a tsunami which hit Samoa and American Samoa, leaving at least 119 dead.
The Obama administration plans to offer recommendations to address the growing traffic problems with drivers texting while driving. Researchers, safety groups, automakers and lawmakers gathered yesterday to discuss the all the negatives of distracted driving. The Transportation Department reported that nearly 6,000 people were killed and a half-million were injured last year in vehicle crashes connected to driver distraction, often by mobile devices and cell phones. Handheld devices are banned in Philly and Conshohocken, but not the entire state of Pennsylvania. Danny likes that PA allows him to ride his motorcycle without a helmet, but it’s not going to hurt anyone else if he hits the ground, however distracted drivers are a danger to themselves and other drivers. 7:31 – Danny Bonaduce: Life Coach
Sean’s sister in-law ran away from her abusive husband and moved to New Jersey. There’s a court case soon, but what should she be aware of when dealing with the husband in court?

No crime has been committed and she thought it out, making all the right moves.
Dave was raped by his ex-wife’s boyfriend. The guy was only sentenced to five years and wants the guy to say in jail longer. He appealed to the judge who said his decision was final. Double jeopardy means he can’t be tried twice. Five years is a disgrace, but the decision will stand. What Dave can do is petition to make the guy’s terms of release and probation more difficult. If Danny was in Dave’s shoes he’d plaster the rapist’s neighborhood with posters letting the residents know what kind of guy they have living in their neighborhood.
Sylvia wants to start seeing her ex’s friend that’s fresh outta jail. Should she pursue a relationship with him? She’ obviously very young, but dating a friend’s friend is breaking an unwritten rule. Dating an ex-con isn’t the best move though. Starting a relationship with the jailbird is only going to make things more complicated and not worth the trouble.

Paul calls to say he made sure his daughter sat down to watch the last out so she’d be able to recall the moment. Carl took his 18 month-old son to the game and made an amazing night better by having him there. Michelle was at every game this week and was on the edge of her seat all game.

John Travolta testified in a Bahamian extortion trial on Wednesday that he was told that unless he paid $25 million, stories would be sold to the news media implying his son's death was intentional and he was to blame. Former paramedic Tarino Lightbourne and former Bahamian Senator. Pleasant Bridgewater, who is an attorney, are accused of conspiracy and attempting to extort money from Travolta by means of threats. Travolta testified last week he tried frantically to save his son by performing mouth-to-mouth resuscitation while another visitor at the resort helped with chest compressions. The tricky thing with blackmailing somebody is telling people the information you’re threatening to make money on.
73-year-old Dennis Hopper was rushed to a New York City emergency room Wednesday, suffering from flu-like symptoms and complaining of a stomach ailment. Entertainment Tonight reports that the actor, who directed and starred in Easy Rider and played the villain in Speed, was wheeled into the unidentified New York facility wearing an oxygen mask. Hopper was in town to promote the new season of his Starz series Crash. He has since cancelled all his interviews. He’ll look like his character from Blue Velet with that oxygen mask!
When Metallica pulls into Tampa Saturday night, there will be a very special fan in the audience. The St. Petersburg Times says Margaret Priebe is 85-years old and loves the band. When she was treated with chemo therapy for cancer, Margaret would stay up late listening to Metallica on her MP3 player. She says the band's energy helped get her through those tough times. Margaret can't wait for the concert. When Danny worked at Eagles 106 there was a girl that came out of a coma to New Kids on the Block. This is a much better story because NKOTB is suck ass.
Anyone who thought Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction" was bad, may be disgusted with what went down on Tuesday's episode of So You Think You Can Dance. One contestant was so excited about moving on to the next round that she dropped to the floor, only to reveal that she was not wearing any panties. Apparently, Fox censors didn't catch the crotch shot. Why wasn’t she wearing underwear if she was dancing? Someone’s getting fired and a network is going to get fined!
Dustin Diamond has written that new "Saved by the Bell" tell-all book, "Behind the Bell". And even though it's not all that juicy, some of his co-stars might have a problem with it. And if they do, Dustin has a message for them: Bring it on. Because he can take 'em. Even Mario Lopez and Mark-Paul Gosselaar. Dustin says, quote, "I'm more dangerous with martial arts than Mark-Paul or Mario ever were. I'm not the character Screech." He adds, quote, "The last thing they'd want to do is harm me in any way, because then that's a whole new legal battle and paparazzi thing. I can own all of Mario's, um, hosting shoes. What does he have?" Danny has a dislike for Diamond, but they did work well together in the Celebrity Championship Wrestling. His only talent was being a geek with a squeaky voice. Shila read Diamond’s book and is eager to ask him about some of the stuff in the book. Danny thinks that there’s no way Diamond could fill Mario’s shoes when it comes to hosting and Mario would destroy Diamond in a second. Danny would love to watch Mario wipe the floor with Diamond. 8:39 – Who Would Win In A Fight: Fonzie vs. Zack Morris?
Arthur Fonzarelli from Happy Days is going up against Zack Morris from Saved By The Bell. Metro goes with Zack because Fonzie was all bark and no bite. He was cool, but Zack was a schemer that won with his mind. Shila takes Fonzie because Zack is a preppy pretty boy from California. Zack always had AC Slater to save him, that’s not going to happen in the WWWIAF Arena. Danny takes the Fonz, ‘nuff said. Mark calls to take Fonzie because he wears a leather jacket and rides motorcycles. Zoli takes the Fonz because he nailed Pinkie Tuscadero and that’s not a girl to mess around with. Tom takes Zack because he’s a con man and could get Screech to beat Fonzie up. John takes the Fonz because he was so cool his strands of hair had numbers. Carl takes Fonzie because he and Carmine took on a gang of biker and won. Ryan takes Zack because he went punch for punch with Slater. Craig is another Fonzie call because Zack’s a wimp. Brett votes Fonzie, who was the leader of the Falcons, a tough Milwaukee street gang. Ralph goes with the Fonz because of his respect level, people knew not to mess with him. Arthur Fonzarelli takes the phone vote in a landslide and a majority of the text vote. Fonzi wins!
9:13 – What’s going to be the big Halloween costume this year? Danny’s seen a lot of Obama costumes in the shops. Jon and Kate should be popular, Michael Jackson might be the more inappropriate costume. It’ the one day that almost anyone flies. Crocodile Hunters with sting rays stuck to their chests, Nicole Brown Simpson costumes, there have been some edgy ones. Danny has three capes, perhaps he’ll wear one of them on the 31st. He’ll probably show up dressed as a pirate. Shila has a sexy pirate outfit, but Danny’s pushing for her to wear the gold outfit the Penthouse Cub dropped off for her. It’s quite revealing though, and he likes that.

A man is on trial for the fatal shooting of a 15-year-old during a snowball fight. Jose Omar Mendez, 25, said that he went home and got his gun after he saw Teven Rutledge and two friends gang up against a Hispanic man in the snowball fight. However, Mendez fired only after he saw Rutledge holding a long-bladed knife. According to prosecutors, an enraged Mendez retrieved an unlicensed gun from his home after the snowball fight devolved into an argument. They say he returned and shot Rutledge once in the head. In a videotaped police interview after his arrest, Mendez said he came to the United States to work and got the gun to protect his earnings. He admitted to shooting the teen but only after Rutledge brandished a knife. Someone doesn’t understand the rules of a snowball fight.
As First Lady Michelle Obama arrived in Denmark yesterday to petition Chicago's bid to host the 2016 Olympics, anti-Olympic protests erupted in the Windy City. Six people were taken into custody yesterday for criminal damage at the demonstration. The protest started as workers began decorating Daley Plaza with Olympic props. Protesters were chanting "No Games" and some became violent. Meanwhile, Michelle Obama gave a speech to supporters in Copenhagen. She said the Olympics have the power to transform the lives of children in Chicago and around the country. President Obama and his wife are meeting the International Olmpics Committee in Denmark tomorrow in hopes of convincing them that Chicago is the place to host the Summer Olympics. If it brings jobs to the city over the next 10 years it’s a good move. Imagine Oprah Jumping as an Olympic event!
For months, Patricia Marshall suspected that she and her two daughters, had a Peeping Tom. So to catch the pervert, Patricia installed security cameras outside her house in Niagara Falls, Ontario. Patricia was right, and in February, she busted her neighbor, 19-year-old James Cedar, peering through her window and PLEASURING HIMSELF. James was arrested and charged with criminal harassment. However, the District Attorney decided to DROP the charges against James. Now, James is threatening to sue Patricia for violating HIS civil rights unless she agrees to take down the security cameras. When Danny was younger he hid in a tree to spy on a girl that dumped him. He wore a ninja suit and thought she was going to bust him while she was smoking pot with another boy, but there was no confrontation and Danny’s hands were well behaved.

Danny’s dislike for the Yankees is growing every day. As he learns more about baseball he find new reasons, plus they have obnoxious fans. While watching The Insider, a tabloid television show that involves talentless people arguing, they had a segment determining if Arod would get married before Jeter. Danny proclaimed that being big, tall, athletic men they should run away from the altar. They need to enjoy all the spoils of victory and not get tied down so soon. Danny’s fiancée Amy didn’t like what she was hearing. Danny wanted to take their relationship out of the equation, but Amy wasn’t having that. Danny dug himself in a deep hole by saying that all chicks are imminently replaceable. Danny took a good point and committed argument suicide. Danny should know by now that some things are not to be brought up for discussion with a girlfriend, this is one of them. The Phillies brought Danny joy and sex. The Yankees have brought fighting and abstinence to his world now. Bob calls to say that men are always right, but it just doesn’t matter. Callers agree with Danny thought, but wouldn’t have said it. Danny doesn’t have a conversational restrictor plate, which gets him in trouble often. Jim brings up that chicks always want honesty and when they get it they flip out. Jessica calls to say that she thinks that Danny has the right to say anything he wants, if all girls are replaceable then all men are too.

8:36 – Howard Eskin is on the show to talk about Philly sports. Danny’s not certain how to act on the field this Sunday night when he’s an Honorary Captain for the Eagles game. Howards suggests that Danny acts stupid, he should be used to that. Nice. Danny thinks that the key is to get pressure on Tony Romo and throw him out of rhythm, making him susceptible to mistakes. He also sees a lot of physical coverage by the Dallas secondary. It all sounds so simple, but execution is the hard part. Is the team playing better without Westbrook? He may not be what he was, but his hands and ability to pick up the blitz really help the team. He needs to stay healthy though. A Cowboys win will help establish who this Eagles team is, but Howard’s not ready to send them to the Superbowl just yet. They can win the division, sure. McNabb to Jackson seems like the best QB/WR connection out there now. Brees from New Orleans is playing like the best quarterback in the league, but he doesn’t have a receiver like Jackson. Fitzgerald is the best receiver, but Warner’s not a top tier quarterback. Howard likes the Eagles Sunday but thinks the score will be closer than it should be.

He thought it would be a good show, but didn’t know it would be a smash hit. There are so many things that the characters can do that is acceptable in a world of animation that wouldn’t be acceptable in a live action show. The Simpsons are closing in on 500 episodes, being on the air for 20 years. Over the next week many Fox shows will air clues for a Simpsons scavenger hunt. Sweet. Some of the voice actors play multiple characters on the show, Danny can only do one voice, gravely. They had many guest stars over the years, including some stars who went uncredited. Michael Jackson did the show, but used a soundalike in the big song. Why hasn’t Danny been on the show?

7:51 – The voice of the Eagles, Merrill Reese is on the show. The football Merrill is excited, the baseball Merrill is a little sad. Merrill didn’t expect a win this big. The Eagles looked good in every phase of the game. There are good receivers, great receivers, and elite receivers. DeSean Jackson is an elite receiver. Once McNabb gets a little time, he can make some great plays. Maclin and Avant are tremendous weapons too. The defense could lock down coverage on the other team’s tight end. The Cowboys comes to town next weekend. What does Merrill think about that? This team should be confident in themselves. Dallas is going to look to redeem themselves after their last visit to the Linc. 
6:02 – Today doesn’t have as much energy as yesterday did, after a Game 2 loss. A bit of a let down, but not a total disappointment. Danny is wearing his sweet, brand new Yankees Suck shirt, that he bought from some guy selling them out of the trunk of his car. Danny doesn’t take notes, but he does have a note from Amy. Apparently Jayson Werth is the new Cole Hamels. She thinks he’s a hottie. She’s more knowledgeable about baseball than Danny, so she watched the game with him, but she wasn’t really paying attention to the game. She went on conversational tangents like telling Danny that the letters in his name can be rearranged to form ‘Abandoned Cute.’ She didn’t want to watch Game 1 with him, so he felt abandoned. Last night he felt distracted. Pedro did very well, but Burnett was just better. Danny takes some calls from guys who have issues with watching big games with their girlfriends or wives. Jim’s girlfriend yells like a dude. Big Al thinks that Amy is a jinx and she shouldn’t watch anymore games with Danny so the Phils can win. There could be something to this. 
7:51 – Former Eagles punter Sean Landeta. He also played for the Giants among all of his stops in the NFL. 10 in New York, 8 in Philly. He says that the fans are very similar because of geographic location, and has a tough time rooting for one over the other. This is a big time for the Philadelphia/New York rivalry with the World Series and this weekend’s football game. Times were good in New York when he was playing for Parcells. Sean was on the All-80’s and All-90’s NFL teams and there’s only a few players that have the same distinction including Reggie White and Jerry Rice. He’s a fan of McNabb, but the pressure to win a Superbowl ring makes it difficult to appreciate his accomplishments. Once he can make that final step he’ll cement his legacy. Sean whips out his two Giants Superbowl rings and his two Philadelphia Stars USFL championship rings. Danny knows that he can’t put the Giants rings on, so he tries on one of the Stars rings. It’s a nice fit and it could do some damage.
8:34 – Howard Eskin is on the show to talk about the big weekend that’s on tap. Pedro was good, but Burnett was better. Rivera was sharp too. The Phils got what they wanted, which was a split. The next three games are home, but it isn’t easy to win three in a row in the World Series, so he thinks that it will go back to New York, but the Phils are in good shape. It’s great to want to win two, but it’s not an easy task. They don’t have a great Game 2 record over the past few years. This year the umpires have been on the hot seat with all the blown calls. Could there be more replay reviewed calls? It wouldn’t be good for the game, managers would use it as a tactic to stall games and interrupt momentum of pitchers. Football refs don’t get all the calls right with replay, so get on with the game they’re long enough as it is. On to the Eagles! The Giants have been exposed as a team with an unstable defense. Although the Birds won last week, they’re still not as sharp as they should be. Howard thinks that the Eagles won’t win Sunday. The Giants will have revenge on their minds after last year. He also thinks that Westbrook just might take the field too. If Stacy Andrews can step up on the offensive line and if the play calling eliminates the Wildcat, the Eagles could improve in the second half of the season and make a serious run. At the moment the Saints and the Vikings are the class of the conference. What Howard really wants is more music from Shawn Andrews.

She’s made some wise real estate investments; she made the money from great licensing from a character she created. She started out hosting late night horror movies on a local Los Angeles station and it grew to incredible heights. She is the best selling female costume of all time. She’s a busy girl, putting out video games and looking to launch a franchising opportunity to have Elviras in malls across the country that will act like Santas for Halloween. Cassandra was sitting next to Danny at the infamous Jonny Drama incident at the Reality Show Awards.
8:31 – One of the greatest boxers of all time, and a Philly boy, Bernard Hopkins is in the studio. Bernard’s a Danny fan, he’s been to a few of Danny’s fights. Bernard is tuning up for a match against Roy Jones, Jr. with a tough match against contender Enrique Ornelas at The Liacouras Center on the campus of Temple University on December 2, bringing the long standing Philadelphia past time of boxing back to his hometown. This is the next chapter of a 17-year saga between Hopkins and Jones. Danny appreciates Jones technique, but he never challenged himself with the opponents he chose. Hopkins points out that Jones cherrypicked more than a few of his opponents. Danny, a tremendous boxing fan, is bouncing off the walls right now. One of the great moments in Danny’s boxing careers was seeing Hopkins on the way to the ring to fight Bob Levy, asking Hopkins to sign his glove, and knocking Levy out with the signature on his glove. Bernard takes some calls from fans who love to cheer on their hometown champ. Why is Jones willing to go into the ring when he doesn’t need the money? He wants to knock Jones out. 
An Idaho junior hockey team was banished temporarily from a city ice rink after players engaged in a game of "strip hockey" — shedding a piece of uniform every time a practice shot missed its mark. As redress for last Wednesday's incident, Boise forbid the Idaho Junior Steelheads team from using Idaho Ice World for four days; one 17-year-old player who shed his underwear briefly was suspended until next week. In addition, police are investigating, a spokeswoman said Tuesday. Doug Holloway, Boise's recreation superintendent, says rink employees told him the shootout drill went like this: "If they missed a shot, they had to take off a glove. If they missed another, they had to take off another glove. And so on, and so forth." An adult whose young daughter was on an adjacent rink saw the 17- to 20-year-old Steelheads skating in their skivvies and complained to a city hotline. Worst idea ever. A rink full of naked men on cold ice is NOT a good time. Danny once accept an award from Harvard in the nude on a cold day.

6:02 – Danny could have had the worst weekend without jail or a hospital possible. He was at the Exotic Erotic Ball and none of the other co-hosts, including Tila Tequila and Coolio, showed up. There was lots of flesh and fun and also booked a comedy gig in the area to pay for the trip. The flights were paid for, but that’s where the good news ends. There was no car to pick them up and when they got to the club, it was burnt to the ground. No one let Danny know while he was on his way out. Danny went on a wild goose chase that totaled over $200 in taxi fare. There was no bar at the hotel, nowhere to get vodka, but Danny put his credit card down to cover incidentals. The First Amendment panel that Danny was going fired up to take part of to kick off the Exotic Erotic Ball was canceled. Then Danny learned that the club wouldn’t cover his hotel, airfare, or taxi fare. Mark calls to tell Danny that he went to his deceased father’s house to get it ready for sale and ever room in the house is moldy making it unsellable. That’s bad, but not as bad as Danny’s weekend. Joe had a great weekend with his girlfriend and then he had to go home to his wife. Chris’s girlfriend bought herself an engagement and cleared out his checking account. Danny feels better, but he’s still the guy that went where Tila Tequila and Coolio refused to.

8:31 – Howard Eskin is on the show to talk about Eagles football and the Phils against the Yankees for the World Series. After losing in Oakland last week the Eagles can take first place in the division with a win against the Redskins tonight. Howard doesn’t believe the Birds will lose tonight, it doesn’t hold true to the traits of an Andy Reid team. Many opinions of the Eagles will change if they don’t win tonight. Howard doesn’t always say what people want to hear, but staying honest keeps him employed, no matter the fan reaction. Witherspoon has speed, more than Trotter, who was exposed last week. Trotter might get ten plays. Getting Witherspoon was a move that had to be made. Todd Herremans and Jason Peters should both be on the field, despite playing hurt, which should improve the offensive line. Eskin predicts an Eagles win by 10 points. Howard also thinks that we’ll see less and less of Vick because the Wildcat isn’t working out with him. Moving onto the World Series, playing the Yankees makes traveling easier than having to fly across the country. Winning the World Series is enough satisfaction, but playing the Yankees would put a little frosting on that cake. The Yankees are the early favorites in the Series. The teams have interesting matchups, but it should come down to pitching and Howard would take the Yankees starters and bullpen over the Phils. But this is why we play the game. He thinks it’ll be a draining 6 or 7 game series. The Phils did beat Sabathia in the NLDS last year and took 2 out of 3 against the Yankees earlier this year, but the chemistry of both teams has changed.

Danny gave up on any fun stuff, but was woken up to see Amy put Farrah in a cab at three in the morning. She’s in town dancing at a club. Amy wasn’t so happy with the way that Danny asked if any girl on girl action went down when he was asleep. Apparently the answer was ‘no.’

8:39 – Big game tonight. Hamels makes Danny nervous when he pitches, even though he’s Danny’s favorite pitcher. Fans in this town get emotionally invested in the games and we take losses hard. The Manny shower situation is a straight up dick move. When he plays well the fans love him, but when he makes mistakes his antics get criticized. As long as Hamels win we love him, when he loses he’s Mr. Hollywood. Spike thinks that the Dodgers are broken, even though the games are so slow. Chase Utley is the kind of guy this town loves. Schmidt, as great as he was, didn’t win the fans over because his attitude didn’t match what the fans wanted. 
9:38 – Danny’s Phillies correspondent, Darren Daulton is on the show now. He was doing an interview at Fox 29 when he looked out the window and saw Danny climbing up the street pole in his underwear. Dutch was happy to hear that the ’93 Phils beat the 2009 Phils in Who Would Win In A Fight last week. Though nobody on the ’93 team went pole climbing in their skivvies. Darren’s looking for Cole Hamels to step up and make a statement tonight. Darren predicts a Phils win, look for him to be celebrating at the Loews, where he’s staying tonight. 
9:13 – Spike is on the show to talk about the Phils win. Excellent game. Madson and Lidge pitched well in the same game which has been a rarity lately. Howard’s on fire too. Some did notice a resemblance between Danny and Dodgers pitcher Randy Wolf. If he’s an athlete, then Danny’s not related to him. Danny’s been mistaken for Jackie Earl Haley more than a few times too. He’s the actor that played Rorschach in Watchmen.

7:53 – Merrill Reese, the voice of the Eagles, is on the show to talk about yesterday’s game. The Birds should have killed the Raiders yesterday. The Raiders have some good players on defense and Merrill knew that. They have talent, but the team has just been poorly coached over the past few years. The Eagles didn’t beat themselves; they were outplayed by the Raiders for the win. The Eagles offensive line is a mess too. King Dunlop looked lost filling in for Jason Peters. The Birds have to take care of business. On a positive note this week’s game against the Redskins is a great opportunity to bounce back. Merrill had the feeling that the Birds were in for a rough game from the beginning. There are great moments, but it’s not easy being green. What’s the deal with Akers, who missed two field goals? He ended last season on a down note, but Merrill still likes him and considers him one of the best in the NFL.

8:31 – What are the pros and cons of natural and implants? Danny sees an upside to both. Ryan calls to say that the surgery is less expensive than psychotherapy and fixes the problem permanently. Danny digs a smaller, natural set that look good in a wifebeater, but a bra isn’t always needed with implants. Shila is a fan of the confidence that implants gives a girl that isn’t huge. Tom loves the feel of the natural sets. John doesn’t like the spacing that women get when they have implants, which can be attributed to a poor doctor. James started dating a nice girl with a perfect body, and then she told him that they weren’t natural. Now that he knows they’re fake, it ruined the mystique that her body held for him. Jim digs the implants because they’re firm and the girls like them to be touched. Philip is against any procedure because the sensitivity is usually lost. In the end, no guy is going to turn down a girl because of the size of her chest.

7:52 – Merrill Reese, the voice of Eagles Radio on 94WYSP, is on the show to talk about yesterday’s Eagles game. He’s happy the day after a win over the Bucs, but thought the Birds were a little sloppy. Merrill thought McNabb had a very good game and Maclin had his coming out party. The Birds are good, but how good is a question that will be answered when they play some division games. What does this mean for Kevin Curtis? Merrill thinks when he’s healthy he’ll come back as a starter. There are five wide receivers that are threats on the team, which is welcomed from the days of Pinkston and Thrash. One of the major issues the Bucs are dealing with is poor coaching. Even though there were some bad calls Merrill thinks the refs are impartial, but does think that the home field does leverage some advantage with the refs. Is there a weakness at stopping the opposition’s tight end? Winslow is a top tier TE, he’s not some scrub off the bench. It’s a good feeling to win big, but still see coaches dig into the details about playing better. 
"Swingers" co-stars Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau buddied up for the weekend's top movie as "Couples Retreat" debuted with $35.3 million, while the micro-budgeted fright flick "Paranormal Activity" leaped into the top 10. Shot for a reported $15,000, "Paranormal Activity" came in at No. 5 with $7.1 million as distributor Paramount expanded it into daylong release after two weeks of midnight-only screenings. Like "Blair Witch," "Paranormal Activity" is fiction shot in documentary style as a young man tries to record strange doings and apparitions in the house he shares with his girlfriend. The hype surrounding Paranormal fires Danny up. It could be cooler than The Blair Witch Project, which Shila thought was real. The scariest movie Danny ever saw was Jaws, every time he’s in the ocean he gets freaked out. She also thinks that exorcisms are real, which upsets Spike. 
8:34 – Donnie Osmond, Danny’s old boxing buddy, are on the show. He’s one of the three people on Dancing with the Stars, that has punched Danny in the face. Maybe Punching with the Stars is next? Donnie is losing some weight doing the show, but he’s also doing a stage show with Marie in Vegas, so he’s an eating machine these days. Danny digs the way that Donnie sells what he’s doing, a consummate showman, which will make up a large part of his score. What happened to Donnie with the Bruno kiss? It was a moment of insanity. What made Donnie get in the ring with Danny? The constant taunting. It started out as an arm wrestling competition and ballooned into boxing. They both had a great time in the ring that night, but there’s still a slight dispute as to who won. Donnie thinks that his score with the judges was better than Danny’s, but the numbers he quotes are mathematically impossible on the way boxing matches are scored. Vote for Donnie tonight on Dancing with the Stars. 
6:35 – SPORTS: 
8:32 – Howard Eskin is on the show to talk about the Eagles/Buccaneers game this weekend. Shila has a bit of a crush on Howard. Things get a little creepy for Spike, Howard’s son. Howard anticipates that McNabb will wear a flak jacket for the game and Westbrook will be on the field too. LeSean McCoy will get lots of reps, but he needs to hold onto the ball and he’s been working on that lately. This will be the first regular-season game with McNabb and Vick, something that Howard’s not a fan of. Putting McNabb at WR for some of the Wildcat plays makes him uneasy because of the rib issue. The offense would be more effective with McCoy, Westbrook, or Jackson taking the snap. Setting up the run out of that formation to get a passing play just isn’t worth the trouble. Trotter should play about 20 snaps, usually on running situations. His speed had been an issue, so it might become an issue if a team audible out of a running play to a passing play. Howard hasn’t lost any sleep over the Bucs, even though their QB ran for almost 150 yards in their last game. They’re a bad team and the Birds are 15 point favorites. Players are running out of places to hit the quarterback with all the rule changes. If Howard had to bet, he’d go with the Eagles. A game he really likes is St. Louis over Minnesota.

On the way back from Freefall Adventures Danny decided to buy an elliptical machine. When he got home his house guest, a stripper, who will be on the show later today, was nowhere to be found. To go through the schedule for today’s show he gave her a call to make sure she was where she’s supposed to be later this morning. However her phone was answered by a short tempered Asian lady. She’s missing in action today. Where could she be? Danny thinks he has a tendency to enjoy some drinks, quite a few of them. What’s the game plan now? Danny wants to put out an All Points Bulletin for a new dancer, but Metro wants to see if there are any friends of the show that he can invite in.

It seems that McNabb will be ready to go after the bye and the Trotter signing doesn’t leave a spot open for Runyan though. Danny has a loyalty to Runyan because they’re buds, but loyalty doesn’t always make it easy to make the best decisions for the team. Is the Wildcat hurting or helping the team? He thinks it’s a waste of time because Vick’s just not necessary. There are other players on the team that could be more successful taking the direct snap. Eskin’s opinions get him in trouble sometimes. He doesn’t think the Phils will get to the World Series and that’s not sitting well with some people. He thinks that the team has all sorts of issues including the bench, the bullpen, and the starting rotation. Who should close? Madson, he’s the only option. Lidge isn’t the same guy he was last year and there’s a bunch of hurt pitchers in the bullpen including Myers and Romero. They’re a good team, but they’re not great. They are close to having the best record in the NL though. Howard thinks that the Cardinals have a better starting rotation. Colorado has the best record since May too. The Phils got worse at the end of the season because of injuries. Howard is Spike’s dad; it leads to some interesting moments on and off the air. Howard didn’t grow up a hockey fan, so he never had the interest in the Flyers that he does have in the Phillies, the Sixers, and the Eagles. Could Howard make it as an executive in professional sports? He thinks he could handle being a GM in baseball, not so much football though. Managing takes nothing however. Who would Howard like the Phils to play in the NLDS? The Dodgers because they’re a mess right now. There’s not a strong chance that’ll happen now.

Last night Danny and his fiancée, Amy, got into a not-quite fight. Danny hasn’t been able to find the motivation to go to the gym on a regular basis these days. While talking about this with a friend of Amy’s, a lady friend who is a fitness fanatic, Danny had the bright idea of allowing the other girl to move into the house so they could train together. That did not sit well with Amy. It seemed reasonable to Danny. Doesn’t it make sense to invite a girl to live in the house that can act as a live-in trainer for Danny so he can get fit with his crazy work hours? Not to Shila. Would Danny allow a good looking chef in the house to work with Amy in the kitchen so she could learn the culinary arts? Danny says that’s cool. Shila and Metro call Danny on that and think he’d flip out and throw the guy out. Amy shot down Danny’s great live-in hot trainer idea. On paper it’s a good idea, but Danny saw the logic in Amy’s position and conceded that a hot, sweaty chick in the basement would lead to nothing but trouble for him.
