6:02 – Danny an Metro are live from New York this morning. The city is starting to revert to the cess pool it was when Danny lived there before. Metro was almost mugged by a rat an Danny was minding his own business on the train up when someone wanted to pick a fight with him. Real estate is out of control in Manhattan. Danny had a heated confrontation with a cab driver that didn’t know how to get around the streets of New York. The driver was so dumb he didn’t know how to get a street he was already in. Danny was in New York last night to make an appearance on Joy Behar’s show on Head Line News. There were lots of chatty bitches that only wanted to interrupt everyone. Some tool was annoying Danny on the train up and couldn’t comprehend why Danny would be on a train. The train is less expensive than a cab and it arrives on time. A nice, burly gentleman let the tool know that he was making an ass of himself and should sit down. That worked and Danny thanked the kind man.
6:24 – Yesterday the owner of La Posada stopped by the show to talk about being this week’s featured restaurant for 94WYSP’s Dinner Deals. That means ½ off gift certificates for you at 9:30. They’re a great Italian place in Marlton which has amazing daily deals and offers a $21.95 four course meal special. They’re a BYBOB too, which Danny likes.

One of two teens arrested in connection to the murder of a Delaware County mother led police on a wild chase while wearing handcuffs on Thursday. Abdul Johnson and Dominique Smith were taken into custody Thursday in connection to the shooting death of Kathy Stewart in Chester City on November 15. While being transferred at the Delaware County prison, Johnson apparently was able to break free from officers, take control of the unmarked car he was being driven in and drive off. While in handcuffs, Johnson allegedly led police on a six mile chase before crashing the van into the front porch of a home in Chester City. Johnson was taken back into custody and was eventually transported back to the Delaware County prison. Stewart, 49 was lying in bed, talking with her fiancée on the phone when a stray bullet crashed through the window of her home in the 300 block of Franklin Street at about 8:35 p.m. on November 15. Danny’s most surreal moment was listening to coverage of his high speed chase in the car he was in while being chased. This guy is a menace to society.
A Delaware man is in custody after breaking into a Wilmington apartment and repeatedly stabbing a family dog Wednesday evening. Police were called to the Mill Creek Village Apartments on Scarborough Drive just before 5:30 after a reported break-in. New Castle County Police spokesman Corporal Trinidad Navarro says Cecil Wright, 45, broke into an apartment and stabbed the dog, named Chopper, when it started barking. Angela Price, the dog's owner says the incident started when she tried to intervene in a fight Wright was having with his girlfriend outside her apartment. Wright was drunk, Price says, but was trying to take his infant and drive off. Price says all she offered to do was take the baby while the couple settled their differences.
When d'Armond Speers' son was born 15 years ago, the linguist and software consultant spoke only Klingon to him for his first three years of life. With that experience Speers was recently recruited by Ultralingua, a computer software company, to help develop a dictionary based on the fictional language. "I was interested in the question of whether my son, going through his first language acquisition process, would acquire it like any human language," Speers said. "He was definitely starting to learn it." And the Klingon experiment with his son? The boy is now in high school and doesn't speak a word of Klingon, Thank god the kid can’t remember any of it. Trying to teach the kid Klingon is sending him down the path of geekdom at an early age.

Sarah calls to tell Danny that he was right with some advice that he gave her about seeing the signs that her boyfriend was going to break up with her. Now Sarah and her ex are getting along better now than they did when dating. She’s been keeping her distance, but he’s been calling a lot. When they have met up for sex she splits rather than stay the night because that’s what girlfriends do. She wants him back and Danny says the way to get him to get him to show more emotion is to show less. If Sarah shows the boyfriend that he’s her booty call, and she isn’t his then it’ll lead to action.
Mark is calling to say that his father molested him at the age of 8, when he was a police officer. The job has nothing to do with being a pedophile though. Mark is in counseling for this now, but he’s paying out of pocket because he doesn’t have insurance. He’s interested in getting his father to foot the bill. He can pursue it in civil court, but it will lead to the arrest of his father as well.
Simon, a native Californian living in New Jersey, wants to move back west. His wife isn’t interested in the big move though because her family is in the Garden State. They split up for a while, which is why he was out west, but moved to New Jersey to be with her. That’s when she won. Start with her family to convince them that a move to California is for the best. Women want adventure too, that’s why pirate movies are popular.

It’s a collection of photos and handwritten notes that’s for those of us with short attention spans. Bam’s pain threshold has risen over the years with all the bones he’s broken. Danny’s on that same path. Bam’s broken his wrists, ankles, ribs, his skull, and his tail bone. It all started with skateboard videos and lead to being invited to do the Jackass show.

Robert Downey Jr. is on the cover of Entertainment Weekly to promote his upcoming movie, Sherlock Holmes, and he admits he's torn between having a life and acting. "I have no set plans for my future," Downey says. "I've never had it this good—this is my day in the sun—and I certainly don’t want to look a gift horse in the molars. But Susan [Downey, his wife] and I want to begin to be in our lives as much as we are in our jobs." What’s he going to do? Move to France and realize that he made a mistake? Downey’s so good people will tolerate whatever it takes to work with him.
Dio's European tour has been cancelled after the band's namesake Ronnie James Dio was taken ill. "Ronnie has been hospitalized and we are waiting for further news," explains Ronnie's wife/manager, Wendy Dio. No further information is available at this time. His wife made sure to mention that all the well wishes were sent on to Dio, but the hate mail was thrown out. Danny got some bizarre threats when replaced a guy he never met or saw while working with Adam Carolla on a radio show in Los Angeles. 8:31 – Howard Eskin is on the show for his weekly Eagles chat. Howard likes the Eagles this week and the Bears are totally overrated. Jay Cutler is a turnover machine and Howard thinks he’s due for a pair of picks this weekend. He can’t afford to give the ball up that much on a team that doesn’t score often. For what the Bears gave up for him, they are not getting a good return on their investment. When Danny thinks about Bears quarterbacks, he thinks of Jim McMahon, who did all the right things to help a great team win the Superbowl. The Eagles have a chance to make the playoffs, the Bears don’t. The Birds do have to score touchdowns when they have the chance. Danny put a whopping $75 on the game, strap in! How are the Birds going to deal with all the injuries? In the NFL no team is ever out of it and a wildcard team can still get to the Superbowl. Eskin would like to see McNabb step up on the field. Last week he threw for a lot of worthless yards because the team lost. He’s not going to get the swine flu from getting into the end zone. He needs to punch it in when the ball is in the red zone. There are problems on the offensive line, but teams rush to eat up the clock when they’re up and pass to catch up from behind. Howard predicts a 24-13 Eagles win.
9:07 – Joy Behar is on the show; Danny will be on her Headline News show later tonight. She’s at home watching a French movie in her pajamas in bed this morning because The View is on tape today. She works on two shows four days a week. Joy likes what Danny adds to her show. He’s witty, quick and is opinionated. She wants to put on an edgy, entertaining show that doesn’t offend, but provokes thought and conversation. That includes Danny using the word scrotum on the air. Danny likes doing the show, but wants to eliminate panel guests shouting over each other. Danny always has something to say, but never wants to interrupt. There are so many channels on cable it’s easy to get lost in the sea of programming, but make it a point to see Danny on Joy’s show tonight. When Joy and Danny first met on The View it was very tense because he was promoting Breaking Bonaduce.

Federal prosecutors have charged three men with diverting traffic from the Web site of Philadelphia-based telecommunications provider Comcast Corp. Authorities on Thursday charged a 19-year-old from Newark, Del., a 20-year-old from Tumwater, Wash., and a 27-year-old from Kalamazoo, Mich. The men are accused of conspiring to disrupt service of Comcast's consumer site, comcast.net. The site features news, sports and entertainment stories and has sections for shopping, games and dating. It also has links to Comcast's customer support for its cable television, Internet and telephone services. Shouldn’t Comcast, the internet provider, be prepared for this kind of stuff?
The New Jersey Turnpike turkey has been captured and is being taken to a safer locale: a zoo in Ocean County, officials said. Tom Feeney, a New Jersey Turnpike Authority spokesman, said state wildlife officers captured the turkey, named Tammy by Turnpike employees, on Wednesday morning. The wild gobbler liked to hang out near the toll plaza at Exit 14B in Jersey City. Why wasn’t this turkey shot long ago? When Danny was younger he saw animal control pump two bullets into a horse that ran into traffic. He still hasn’t recovered from it.

6:02 – Who expects to live to 50 when you’re coming home in a car full of bullet holes at 25? At the rate Danny spends money he might revert to the lifestyle he was accustomed to at the age of 18, living in his car and having everything repossessed. Danny felt that he was a little off yesterday after taking the guitar to his head. He probably had a slight concussion because of the babbling he did to people who didn’t want to listen after work yesterday. Anytime Danny sees a sensational news story his mind jumps to trying to figure out who benefits from it. He was right about the Balloon Boy hoax and many other stories lately. So he’s right all the time, or the effects of his concussion.

For Donovan McNabb, who grew up in suburban Chicago, there is no better place to make a stand. Not that he's into destiny or anything. "This is a must-win for us," McNabb said. "And that's the way you have to approach it. I wouldn't care if it's at Soldier Field. I wouldn't care if it's playing in Champaign, Ill. We could play in Oklahoma. It doesn't matter. This is the game that we need to win. And that's the way I'm approaching it, and that's the way the other guys are approaching it as well." Danny’s laying a bet down on Sunday’s game now.
Steelers fan Zack Heddinger says he was blinded at a Chicago bar by Bears fans after some trash talking gone awry. Heddinger was in the Windy City for the Steelers 17-14 loss to Chicago in Week Two. "Basically, I guess, my buddies had gotten into an altercation and they offered a drink as a peacemaker from what I understand," Heddinger said. Heddinger passed out and his heart stopped four times after he was rushed to a local hospital. Initially, doctors just thought he was drunk. But they quickly suspected something else was up. Police are now investigating the incident, and the local bar, Kitty O'Shea's, is fully cooperating. Doctors now believe his drink could have been spiked with toxic grain alcohol. If you’re in Chicago for the game this weekend and run into trouble, hit the guy and run.

An employee of the Burlington County school system was recently let go of his position for a comment that he made on the social media site Facebook. "I was blowing off steam just venting, everyone makes comments on Facebook," Roy Torrez, 28, has been a custodian at Emmons Elementary in Pemberton for two and half years. But, when he criticized the district's handling of apparent swine flu cases at his school, on his personal Facebook page of 400 friends, he was let go. The post in question says: 'Having H1N1 and still coming to work, really smart people. And the administration isn't going to tell people about it' "There were two bad words in it, but I was a little upset," Torrez said. Torrez says his supervisor gave him a "keep quiet" warning in October, and then last week he was fired. "I was shown copies of my Facebook comments with highlighted words and phrases, I'm infuriated and stressed, and a little sad too," said Torrez. Danny doesn’t even curse online, he writes f*** to save his a**. If the guy wrote accurate information then he’s not in the wrong. He’d have a better case if he didn’t update while on the job. Danny takes some calls from listeners who have had their lives jacked up by social networking. Sue’s son posted something mean about a teacher that got him kicked out of Catholic school, it caused big problems for him in other schools. Joe’s friend posted some beach party photos with bikini girls on Facebook that Joe’s fiancée didn’t appreciate.

No judge will allow him back in the house while the wife is still there. So either she has to vacate or they should sell the house. Why did she split? She had a boyfriend on the side. If James files for the divorce now, a judge will look unfavorably on the wife cheating while he was in the hospital.

They first met up on The Other Half, when Danny smelled some pungent weed coming from Coolio’s dressing room. Coolie put the reefer down when he realized his song was smoking and getting his nuggets from daddy’s stash. Coolio published a new cookbook, Cookin' with Coolio: 5 Star Meals at a 1 Star Price. The dishes have great names, are easy to make and don’t cost much to put together. Coolio’s first tip is to wash your hands while prepping the food.

"This guy has a tremendous history of drug abuse," guitarist Brad Whitford says of Tyler, who has been feuding publicly with the band. "You have to be suspicious that this is something that's probably going on with him." Adds drummer Joey Kramer: "He's got some negative influences around him now. ... I just want to see him get some help." If you vanish from your friends after years of being social, that’s a telltale sign. Danny’s bosses often ask if he’s on drugs. The answer is no, but he should be.
"Pirates of the Caribbean" star Johnny Depp was named People magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive" on Wednesday, reclaiming a title he first won in 2003.

Forbes' released another Top 10 list -- this time of the most overpaid stars in Hollywood. Will Ferrell tops the list. In order to qualify for the Top 10 Overpaid Actors list, each actor had to have appeared in three films in the last five years that opened at at least 500 theaters. It comes as no surprise that Will Ferrel tops the list; it's been awhile since he's had a hit. For every $1 Will Ferrell earns, his movies only earn $3.29. The #2 spot belongs to Ewan McGregor. The rest of the Top 5 is Billy Bob Thornton, Eddie Murphy and Ice Cube. Coming in at #6 is Tom Cruise, whose box office draw has dipped sharply in recent years. #7 is the only actress on the list, Drew Barrymore. The Top 10 is rounded out by Leonardo DiCaprio, Samuel L. Jackson and Jim Carrey. Tom Cruise and Eddie Murphy were Danny’s guesses for number one. Ewan gave one of the worst performances as Obi Wan in the Star Wars movies, only to be underacted by Hayden Christiansen.
8:33 – Who Would Win In A Fight: Vampire vs. Werewolf
Metro takes the werewolf because at some point the flying vampire has to come back down to earth. Spike also takes the werewolf because the vampires from Lost Boys lost to the Two Coreys, a sign of weakness. Danny takes the vampire because they crushed the lycans in Underworld II and their ability to change physical forms and also have the power of persuasion.
8:40 – Lisa takes the vampire because they’re badass. Paul takes the werewolf, citing Van Helsing. Keith, bringing up the werewolf from An American Werewolf in London. Kathy takes the werewolf because it can kill faster than a vampire. Rick goes with the vampires, especially the ones from Anne Rice novels. Tim takes the werewolf because Howard Eskin looks like one. Nate is another call for vampires because of inner strength. Maureen takes the vampire, who doesn’t have to wait for a full moon to cause trouble. Chris takes the vampire because werewolves are dumb. Zoli is another call for the vampire, citing Underworld as the reason for the win. Vampires win on the phones and the text vote. Team Edward wins! What???
9:02 – Jane Velez-Mitchell, host of CNN Headline News Issues is on the show. Danny’s been on her program a few times, including a bit of an ambush the last time he was on. Did Jane set him up on the last appearance? No, but it was just a good, hard interview. Danny digs Jane’s approach on her show, being able to tango with some dirtball guests on her program. Danny had a great time on her show, being able to argue with smart people about topics that do matter. Jane thought that Danny was still not drinking, but he was able to give his solution to being able to drink and stay in control after years of abuse. Jane wrote a book about her road to sobriety and how her life changed after that. Smart is sexy to Danny, so he developed a crush on Jane, but then he learned that she’s a sober, vegan lesbian. Couldn’t be further from Danny if she tried. Ellen’s coming out helped Jane and so did putting the bottle down, there was nothing to hide behind after that and believes that a majority of fear of coming out is self generated. Jane and Danny are pals now, so expect to see a lot of Danny on Jane’s show.

Police have labeled two teens as 'brazen bandits' after they decided to videotape themselves burglarizing several Delaware County homes in broad daylight. The teen bandits, 15 and 16, terrorized a neighborhood on November 13, burglarizing five homes. They also reportedly burglarized a home on the 12th as well. The teens videotaped themselves opening wrapped Christmas presents at one home, and one teen can even be heard saying, "Christmas has come early for us." The burglary spree ended when one of the teens broke into a home and sounded an alarm. A neighbor spotted the teens running away from the home and called police. At 16, these guys are big enough to be considered men. Danny thinks that branding them with a giant ‘T’ for thief over jail time so everyone knows they’re scum. Kayden’s friends told her that human skin doesn’t brand. Danny has a letter ‘A’ on his tush to prove otherwise. Kayden brings up that she and another porn star, Texas Alexis were on the same flight and had some flirty tweets. That was a flight to be on.

After having ECW legend Tommy Dreamer smash an acoustic guitar over his head yesterday, Danny’s head is feeling worse as time goes on. He had a meeting with some financial planners, but had a tough time concentrating. The planners could run off with all his money now. They explained his investments to him like he was 5 years old. Danny wanted to call someone and talk to them about possibly being hurt, so he called his boss Jeff, the Program Director. Danny also lost his phone, again. He wanted to go buy another phone, but he was told by the people at AT&T that he couldn’t pay for it because it was a corporate account. Danny held his ground and told them that he wanted to pay for his mistake. On his way to the store to get his phone, Danny made a few wrong turns with his tremendous headache. Finally he made it to AT&T only to have the clerk chat with Amy about their mutual love for Jayson Werth. Bad things got worse at this point.

Brian Westbrook will spend today at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center visiting concussion specialists. After suffering his second concussion in 20 days in the third quarter of the Eagles' loss at San Diego on Sunday, the team said yesterday that Westbrook would consult with neuropsychologist Mark R. Lovell and neurosurgeon Joseph Maroon. Eagles trainer Rick Burkholder said Lovell had been communicating with the team's medical staff on the running back's condition since he suffered the first concussion in an Oct. 26 game at Washington. Westbrook was knocked unconscious after taking a knee to the helmet from middle linebacker London Fletcher in that game and sat out the Eagles' following two games before returning Sunday. There’s only one specialist, but Westbrook’s just seeing double. Danny’s concussion test? Saying his phone number backwards. If you can do it, you’re fine.

The running back who was banished from Kansas City for bad behavior signed on for a backup role with the Cincinnati Bengals on Tuesday, giving the AFC North leaders depth for the rest of this season.

7:09 – Danny got a call from the FBI yesterday after a look-alike robbed a bank.
Suspect in the bank robbery. The FBI has released photos of a guy who tried to hold up a Bank of America branch near K&A at 11:35 this morning, and ...
Well...
Look closely...
Could that be ...?
"I could have done it. I have no alibi," WYSP morning man Danny Bonaduce told me. "I left the station at 11:10 and it's a four-block walk to my house."
The FBI says the subject gave a note to a teller, fled the bank before obtaining any cash, and was last seen heading eastbound on foot on Allegheny Avenue. The subject was described as a white male in his mid 30s, thin or skinny build, with a closely cropped thin beard and mustache, wearing a black knit wool cap, dark sunglasses, a plaid flannel jacket or heavy lined shirt, and blue jeans.
Bonaduce, who said he was talking to his financial adviser on the other line, suggested that a police fingerprint expert and sketch artist come by the station tomorrow.
Where was Danny at 11:35 yesterday? Probably walking home. He denies robbing the bank. Perhaps the hit to the head caused Danny to black out and he doesn’t remember robbing the bank.

Police are trying to determine who has been tossing hefty debris onto traffic in Northeast Philadelphia. Steven Burns said he was driving near the intersection of Cottman Avenue and State Road when a large piece of metal debris fell from an abandoned building, striking his windshield. "If it would have went through the sun roof it could have killed me," he said. Burns said he spotted a young male pushing the object out of a window of the abandoned structure. Local business owners said the building is a popular hangout for area youths, who have vandalized the structure with graffiti. Currently, a total of five vehicles have been struck by debris thrown from windows of the building. The last time Danny saw this much heavy metal debris it was from the Randy Rhodes plane crash.
A Bridgeton High School student's family has sued the school district for forbidding the girl from wearing an arm band and handing out literature as part of an abortion protest. The student's lawsuit, filed Nov. 12 in U.S. District Court in Camden, accuses the district of censoring her freedom of speech, as granted by the First Amendment to the Constitution. The girl sought in advance to take part in the sixth annual Pro-Life Day of Silent Solidarity on Oct. 19 by wearing a red armband with the word "Life" on it and passing out literature between classes. The school district has a dress code, however, that calls primarily for black pants or skirts, maroon shirts or gray colors in their place. School officials refused to allow an exception for the arm band. "It's very simple. We have a very strict dress code," Bridgeton school Superintendent Vic Gilson said Tuesday. She’s protected by the first amendment, but had her rights violated. The school is going to get buried in court. The handouts and the arm band might cross the line though.
Yesterday, the Oxford University Press announced its 2009 Word of the Year: "unfriend." For the dwindling minority of Internet users who haven't at least looked at a social-networking site like Facebook, the verb refers to the act of removing somebody from your "friends list" -- the contingent of people whose news appears when you log into the site. Danny’s favorite word of the 90’s was ‘unquit.’ He’d walk off the job occasionally while lit up and then call the boss the next day to unquit.

A Beverly Hills company is formulating a line of "Antiquity" fragrances based on the DNA of dead celebrities including Elvis Presley, Albert Einstein, Marilyn Monroe, Michael Jackson - even Richard Nixon. The firm, which also makes individualized scents based on a customer's cheek swab, says it's conjuring the star potions from DNA tests performed on hair clippings provided by renowned celebrity hair collector John Reznikoff. "I can't go into our secret process, but we base the fragrance on the genetic code," said Dr. Diva Verdun, chief development officer at MyDNAFragrance.com. If Danny could smell like a dead celebrity he’d go with either George Burns or Paul Harvey. He wouldn’t want to smell like Lenny Bruce though, because of the photographs of his death.

Anthony Michael Hall has been ordered to stay away from his ex-girlfriend after he allegedly attacked her in her New York home. Diana Falzone filed papers against the Brat Pack actor last Tuesday alleging he attempted to kick down her apartment door. His former partner alleges when she finally let him in, he slammed her head against a wall, according to documents. Falzone was granted a temporary restraining order against the star on Thursday. Danny was a little before Anthony Michael Hall’s prime. It was the case that laws often didn’t apply to celebrities though. Now police are almost hunting them down in most cases, unless you’re Lindsay Lohan getting drunk at a bar at the age of 15. 8:30 – Yesterday Danny had a chance to talk to Al Roker, who was in a tiff with The Hills’ Spencer Pratt recently. Pratt went after Roker on his Twitter account and also was offensive to Roker’s family. Danny vocalized his willingness to handle Pratt himself. Al would decline an opportunity to interview Spencer again. Al wouldn’t mind if Danny jaw jacked Pratt on the set of the Today Show. Al has a new book out, The Morning Show Murders, about a chef who contributes to a popular morning television show and has to prove he didn’t poison the producer of the show. Writing a murder mystery is a fine line because a good author won’t lead the reader down the wrong path, but also has to keep things interesting with plot twists and good characters to make it worth finishing. Danny reiterates his interest in giving Pratt a knuckle sandwich. Al is more than appreciative.
8:50 – Danny has the uncanny ability to spot the fraud. There’s a video of a wedding reception ruined by a drunken girl dancing around a pole holding up the tent that the party is in. Danny called it as a fake 8 seconds into the video because the camera man tried too hard to make it seem authentically bad. The second sign was the disaster girl was wearing red, breaking a wedding fashion rule. Mike calls to say that he hasn’t seen the video, but a tell tale sign of it being a fake is the girl is wearing a red dress, also a sign of a slut. Metro thinks that the video could be real. So now you know that the video is a fake and only tramps wear red dresses to weddings.
9:05 – Eagles legend Keith Byars is on the show. Danny has limited sports knowledge, but does know that Keith, a former Birds fullback, can be won. Win Keith Byars. Keith and Richard Dent will bring Miller Lites to your house, put a bid in at ebay.com/millerlite right now. If you win Keith he’ll come to your house, sign autographs, tell you Eagles stories, and predicts the Eagles will win. Keith brings up the Fog Bowl, a game where the Bears cheated by having extra players on defense because the refs couldn’t see. Keith hopes that Brian Westbrook’s concussions aren’t career threatening. Keith was never diagnosed with a concussion, but back when he was playing players were just dizzy and sat out a few plays. If you win Keith invite Danny over so all of you can have an ice cold Miller Lite together.

Police are hoping a mask recovered ion Trotters Lea Lane Saturday morning will provide additional clues in the ongoing investigation in the attempted abduction of a 13-year-old Garnet Valley Middle School girl at her bus stop Tuesday morning. Detective Robert Balchunis said the mask, discovered about 9 a.m. Saturday by a woman walking her dog on Trotters Lea Lane, matches the description provided by the teen.
The Dad Vail Regatta, the biggest U.S. collegiate crew event, announced Tuesday it is moving from Philadelphia to Rumson, N.J. Jim Hanna, president of the Dad Vail Regatta Organizing Committee, said the headquarters will remain in Philadelphia. But at least next year, the event will be held on the Navesink River on the northern Jersey Shore 90 miles from the Dad Vail's home of 56 years. Jack Galloway, the chairman of the committee, said the Dad Vail had been caught in a squeeze between rising costs in the city and reduced corporate sponsorship. He said Rumson guaranteed $250,000 in sponsorships for 2010. Danny’s never seen the regatta, but he wants boats in the water in front of Boathouse Row.
Seattle police say a man who thought he was ninja was impaled on a metal fence when he tried to leap over it. An officer who was looking for an assault victim nearby Monday night heard the man screaming for help. Police supported him to prevent further injuries until medics arrived and took him to a hospital, where he was in serious condition in intensive care on Tuesday. Police spokeswoman Renee Witt wrote in a department Web site posting that officers thought the man might have been involved in the reported assault, but he insisted he was just a ninja trying to clear a 4- to 5-foot-tall fence. Danny once spied on an ex-girlfriend in a ninja outfit when he was a teenager. He wasn’t noticed, but he was trapped in a tree for three hours when the girl walked outside to smoke and drink. It occurred to Danny to cut everyone’s heads off as not to leave witnesses, but it wasn’t a thought that lasted long.

6:02 – Where’s the scary weather? Danny was prepared for gloom and doom this morning, but it’s nice out…for now. Danny had a morning full of answering e-mails, he’s becoming technically literate. There might be some misspelled words though. Danny and Amy started watching the Godfather trilogy last night. It spawned from Amy feeling left out of conversations about Vito Corleone. Amy interrupted the movie numerous times to use the bathroom, but Danny wrecked the movie for her when he wouldn’t stop repeating the film. The conversation hits a fork in the road when Metro announces his extreme dislike for the Rocky Horror Picture Show, a movie Danny enjoys and can quote too. Kelly, 25, calls to say she loves the Rocky Horror Picture Show having it seen it over 60 times. Danny used to get laid constantly when he’d go to late night showings of the movie. People dress up and bring props to throw at the screen while watching the movie, perhaps something that Metro never experienced. Matt calls to say his favorite quotable movie is the original Lethal Weapon. Chris’s favorite is The Warriors. Can you dig it? Tom’s favorite is History of the World Part 1. Alex calls to say that Cool Hand Luke is the one. Great movie. Dave wants a list of mandatory man movies from Danny. James brings up Blazing Saddles. Danny thinks it might not be brilliant, but it is funny. Jerry’s choice is Platoon. Full Metal Jacket is another good one. Alex calls for Scarface. Say hello to my little friend! Others include Young Frankenstein, Monty Python’s Holy Grail, Team America, Fight Club, and Sling Blade.

Eric Bruntlett, who scored the winning run in the final game of the 2008 World Series, became a free agent after refusing a minor league assignment from the Philadelphia Phillies. Bruntlett batted just .171 in this season after hitting .217 in 212 at-bats in '08. Pitchers John Ennis and Tyler Walker, catcher Paul Hoover and infielder Andy Tracy were sent outright to Triple-A Lehigh Valley, the Phillies said Monday.
A group of native Americans have lost their bid to force the Washington Redskins pro football team to change its name because they consider it to be a racial slur. Today the US Supreme Court, in a one-line ruling, refused to take up the case. The action lets stand a decision by a federal appeals court in Washington that the native Americans had waited too long to bring their challenge to the Redskins trademark, and thus forfeited any right to sue. It only takes a few people with a mighty pen to get court action in this country, but after losing it’s probably time to move on.
The injury bug has become a monster for Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), as heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar’s condition has taken a drastic turn for the worse and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira has pulled out of the main event of UFC 108. UFC president Dana White said after the post-UFC 105 press conference on Saturday in England that Lesnar is still dealing with the mononucleosis that forced him to delay his UFC 106 main event versus Shane Carwin. Now, however, Lesnar is suffering from another much more serious illness. “I am worried about it,” White said, speaking to reporters on Saturday. “(He) is in rough shape. He’s in really bad shape.Danny’s first guess is that there’s an injury to an internal organ or a major concussion that’s caused memory damage. It turns out he has a bacterial infection in his digestive tract. Not a small deal, but maybe not the big deal that we were led to believe.

A teen has been charged after a deadly attack on a 15-year-old in Burlington County over the weekend. Lavance Gadsden, 18, allegedly punched 15-year-old Laron Brown in the chest repeatedly in a supermarket parking lot on Broadway Boulevard in Pemberton Township at about 6 p.m. Saturday. Brown, a student at Pemberton Township High School, collapsed after being struck multiple times ands was later pronounced dead at Virtua Memorial Hospital. An autopsy found he died of heart failure caused by blunt force trauma. Police believe the altercation erupted when Brown refused to go with Gadsden to confront another group following a dispute.
An Army cook and single mother is under investigation and confined to her post after skipping her deployment flight to Afghanistan because, she said, no one was available to care for her son while she was overseas. The woman, Specialist Alexis Hutchinson, 21, said she had no choice but to refuse deployment orders because the only relative who could care for her 10-month-old son, her mother, was overwhelmed by the task and already caring for three other relatives with health problems. Don’t send a lady that doesn’t have care for her infant child. Win the hearts of Americans first. Wars are tough to manage, Danny thinks that the right move will be made and she’ll be allowed to care for her child until other arrangements can be made.
Twin Bangladeshi girls who were joined at the top of their heads and shared blood vessels and brain tissue were successfully separated Tuesday after 25 hours of delicate surgery, hospital officials said. It is too early to know whether the two-year-old girls, Trishna and Krishna, suffered any brain damage during the marathon operation — an outcome doctors said had a 50-50 chance. The girls will remain in an induced coma for monitoring for several days after the completion of the surgery. A team of 16 surgeons and nurses began the work Monday morning on separating the girls, who were brought to Australia as infants by an aid organization. Danny would prefer jail over being born in a Bangladesh orphanage attached to another person.
Authorities have stopped trying to capture a wild turkey that calls Interchange 14B on the New Jersey Turnpike home. The bird has been causing havoc for toll collectors and motorists as it runs across toll booths, plays in traffic, and sits atop toll collectors' parked cars. Turnpike Authority spokesman Joe Orlando said efforts over the weekend to catch the turkey were unsuccessful, and for the time being, the bird will be left alone. Collectors will have to continue putting cones on their parked cars because the turkey likes to jump on the cars, and motorists will continue dodging the bird. Turkeys and chickens are known to stampede. What a horrible way to die, chicken stampede.

Ken Ober, whose MTV game show "Remote Control" was among the network's first forays into non-music programming, has died at age 52, his agent said Monday. Ober hosted five seasons of "Remote Control," a pop-culture quiz show that featured contestants strapped into easy chairs to answer questions from categories such as "Dead or Canadian?" The show first aired in 1987 and helped launch the careers of comedians Adam Sandler, Denis Leary and Colin Quinn, who was the program's announcer. Danny almost got the host gig for the show, but did win as a contestant. Danny liked Ken, thought he was a nice guy.
A Monopoly movie? When word first spread about Universal's plan to make a film based on the venerable board game, it wasn't hard to predict the smirking suggestion from every skeptic within arm's reach of a computer keyboard: "Do not pass go, do not collect $200 ... " Then came word that Ridley Scott, of all people, was interested in directing the project and, well, observers just didn't know what to think. Why on earth would the filmmaker behind "Gladiator," "Alien" and "Blade Runner" be interested in the dapper little cartoon-capitalist called Uncle Pennybags? Danny’s not surprised that Ridley Scott would direct this movie, but if it’s based on the board game he’s already bored. Dream sequences are a cheap plot devices though.
The war rages on between "Today" show correspondent Al Roker and reality TV's fame-hungry couple Speidi. "The Hills" villains Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag were set to appear alongside Roker Monday morning on the NBC morning talk show to promote their new book, "How to Be Famous: Our Guide to Looking the Part, Playing the Press, and Becoming a Tabloid Fixture." However, the couple was unexpectantly given the heave-ho from their segment. "Due to a change in the show's schedule, we had to cancel the interview with Spencer and Heidi Pratt," a "Today" show said. The feud between Roker and Speidi began in June when the pair appeared on the talk show to promote their appearance on "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!" Roker, 55, took the liberty to tell Pratt he was considered a "jerk," while Montag claims Roker made her cry with his "rude" questioning. Though the oddly paired enemies didn't have a chance to square off on television, Pratt isn't giving up the fight. "WEATHERMAN I thought you were out of town today getting your stomache stapled again?" Pratt tweeted to Roker early Monday morning. "you look very sick? Do you always look like your about to die? How old are you 97? You should retire asap- No one would even know?" Pratt, 26, continued, "I heard you snitched on your own kids at school! I bet your kids HATE you!! I would if my own dad came to my school and snitched me. Danny’s sick of this guy, if you have any dirt on Spencer, write him on Twitter. 8:34 – ECW legend Tommy Dreamer, The Innovator of Violence, is in the studio. He and Danny are in the mutual admiration society. Tommy thinks that Danny could be his long lost tag team partner. Danny has a certain level of self destruction insanity, but Tommy operates on another level. Danny’s no stranger to the Singapore cane, a weapon that Tommy was on the receiving end of 10 times at the hands of the Sandman. It’s the event that put Tommy on the map in hardcore wrestling. It happened at the ECW Arena in South Philly long ago. Tommy’s broken 16 fingers, his neck, his back, suffered 13 concussions, torn muscles, been lit on fire, and never had to go through surgery for any of it. There is no way to fake getting hit with a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire. Usually when Tommy brings a weapon out to the ring he’s the one getting hit with it. As a boy Tommy went to a WWE event and touched hands with Bob Backlund, which was a life changing event. Now he looks for that little boy in the crowd to pass the torch to. Tommy takes a call asking if Paul Heyman should be brought back to run ECW. So much of the old ECW was illegal, like music licensing, but waking up covered in blood isn’t something he misses. There are still the extreme rules matches, but now the wrestlers are able to make it to the ring the next week. Danny’s interested in doing something fun to make some noise on the air. A chop? Bashing a guitar over Danny’s head?
9:01 – Tommy notices an acoustic guitar in the studio, belonging to Metro who is willing to let Tommy smash it over Danny’s head. Tommy’s looking forward to seeing the Undertaker vs. CM Punk vs. Batista in a dark match. If Danny is severely injured Tommy will take over. BOOM! Tommy puts a big dent in the guitar, but doesn’t break it. He does on the second hit though! WOW! Ladies and gentlemen, Tommy Dreamer! Danny now has a heedful of splinters. Tommy’s fired up now. Maybe Danny can be a guest host of RAW someday soon. WWE Smackdown/ECW is in the Wachovia Center tonight and tickets are still available.
9:16 – Jimmy Fallon is on the show and Tommy Dreamer is sticking around. Fallon can’t believe Tommy smashed a guitar over Danny’s head. Danny wasn’t sure that Fallon would be able to carry the show, but he’s been pleasantly surprised. The first week was rough, but Jimmy’s got his legs under him now. Jimmy’s down for having fun, even with Robert DeNiro, who isn’t fond of talking. Tommy lets Jimmy know how much he appreciates Jimmy’s show. He’s outta time, but Philly loves Jimmy.

A Plymouth Township man has been charged after a little girl was bitten on the neck by a dog while visiting Maple Acres Farm in October. Five-year-old, Miabella Delaney Lipshcutz had no idea when she arrived at the Montgomery County market to buy a Halloween pumpkin with her mom; that "Max" the seemingly friendly German Shepherd she was petting would suddenly attack, tearing apart her throat with his powerful jaws "This should have never happened, and it only happened because of one man's reckless conduct," said Montgomery County D.A. Risa Vetri Ferman. Miabella barely survived the attack, but her mother helped pry the dog's jaws apart. "She is at risk for never being able to speak normally again," said the family's attorney, Matt Casey. This was not the first time Max has bitten someone. Since 2000 there have been four reported attacks. Three of the attack victims were children, the other a teenager, who lost an ear as a result. It’s absurd to have a dog with a history of violence at a place that attracts kids.
An 11-year-old boy shot a black bear on his family's front porch after he said it wouldn't leave. The boy was at his home near Driggs, just west of the Idaho-Wyoming border, with his younger sisters last Wednesday when the bear showed up. The youngster said he couldn't shoo it away, so he went and got his gun and shot it. What kind of gun did that kid have? Anything big enough to shoot and kill that bear should be bigger than the boy.

6:03 – Where to start with Danny’s weird weekend…First off Danny’s soon to be mother in-law won Macy’s Makeover America. Danny and Amy watched the makeover show on the internet and Danny said a few provocative comments about Amy’s mom that didn’t go over so well with Amy. He also told Amy’s mom that if there are enough of the right deaths Amy’s mom would be first on his list to do. Danny thought he was giving out compliments, not offenses. Then there was the MILF contest at Day Dreams, won by a woman who is seven months pregnant. No lie. She put on one heck of a show, with child. Danny has some issues with people at CNN Headline News; he’ll go into depth about that later.
6:19 – Telling Amy that he wanted to nail her mother could be the worst compliment he ever gave a girl. Danny can’t be the only one. Here are some from the audience. Carmen was dating a twin and told her that now he knows what it’s like to nail her sister. Pat asked a girl if that’s her breath or if the smell was coming from her dress. Bernie was caught with his mother in-law and told his wife the mother was better. Brian was dating an older woman and tried to set his little brother up with her daughter. Ed told his girlfriend her new haircut looked like she had bedhead. Dan dated two girls, found out they were sisters, and married the one that was better in bed. Danny thinks that Dan’s story is the best of the bunch.

LaDanian Tomlinson ran for a season-high 96 yards and scored twice to continue his climb up the career rushing and scoring lists, and the Chargers beat the Philadelphia Eagles 31-23 to pull into a tie atop the AFC West with the slumping Broncos. Tomlinson passed Thurman Thomas and Franco Harris and moved into 12th place all-time with 12,145 yards. His two touchdowns gave him 146 and moved him past Marcus Allen and into third place on the all-time list. Donovan McNabb threw for a season-high 450 yards, completing 35 of 55, and two late touchdowns. He was intercepted in the end zone by Antonio Cromartie on the game's last play. Trading field goals for touchdowns isn’t how professional football games are won.
Eagles running back Brian Westbrook was knocked out with another concussion. He had missed the previous two games after a concussion during a win against Washington on Oct. 26. "In these types of situations, football is secondary," coach Andy Reid said. "You've got to look at this kid and for his future, and make sure everything's OK for him before he gets back out there." This could be the end of the 36 era.
76ers forward Marreese Speights will miss six to eight weeks with a left knee injury. Speights was injured in the fourth quarter of a 94-88 loss at Chicago on Saturday night. An MRI on Sunday revealed he has a partial tear of the medial collateral ligament in his left knee. Speights has averaged 13 points and 6.4 rebounds in the first 10 games. He averaged 7.7 points and 3.7 rebounds as a rookie last year.
Manny Pacquiao put on yet another dominating performance Saturday night, knocking down Cotto twice and turning his face into a bloody mess before finally stopping him at 55 seconds of the 12th round. The Filipino star used his blazing speed and power from both hands to win his seventh title in seven weight classes and cement his stature as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world. Cotto took such a beating that his face was a river of red from the fury of Pacquiao's punches but he refused to quit even as his corner tried to throw in the towel after the 11th round. Seven titles in seven weight classes? Manny is unbelievable. Danny shadowboxes while watching fights on TV, so if you’re around him, so be careful and guard your grill.

A Philadelphia man who says he was off his schizophrenia medications when he attacked a sleeping SEPTA subway rider with a hammer has been sentenced to four to 10 years in prison. Thomas Scantling was sentenced Friday for a September 2008 attack caught on security videotape. He says he was hearing voices at the time. Security footage shows Scantling pull a hammer from a backpack and repeatedly strike 20-year-old DeWayne Taylor before pulling him from the train onto a subway platform in Philadelphia. Moments before, Scantling had guided his 6-year-old son to an open seat. The judge says Scantling's use of the illegal drug PCP contributed to the violence. The Manson Family never spent time in an asylum, but none of them were sane.
Florida police say a man arrested for repeatedly calling 911 looking for sex claimed it was the only number he could dial after running out of cell phone minutes. Tampa police said 29-year-old Joshua Basso made sexual comments to the 911 dispatcher and asked if he could come to her house. Investigators say she hung up, but he called back four more times. He was arrested about 15 minutes later at his home late Wednesday and charged with making a false 911 call. Basso reportedly told officers that he didn't think he would get in trouble for calling 911. Danny’s defense? If he took some ED pills and the effects lasted for more than four hours, then he was just seeking medical attention. Danny used to call sex chat lines and put the over the PA at a restaurant he managed. Hilarity!

7:51 – The voice of the Eagles, Merrill Reese, is on the show to talk about yesterday’s game against the Chargers. An inability to get the ball in the end zone and settling for field goals was the major story for the Birds. They got points when they got to the red zone, but not the touchdowns they needed. The Eagles were able to get it back to a 5 point game though. They burned through their timeouts too quickly though. What’s the problem with the short yardage game? The offensive line. They’re the guys who can thrust forward and give the running back the chance to get the crucial yard. Merrill would rather have a great offensive line and an average quarterback than an average line and great quarterback. Will Donovan be the quarterback for the Eagles next year? The league is full of mediocrity this year, the Birds could still win the division. Merrill likes Donovan’s talents and hopes he plays in Philly for a long time to come. What about Westbrook’s concussion? Having two so closely together doesn’t bode well for the rest of his year. Merrill thinks it’ll be a month until we see #36 back on the field. Danny thinks that if Westbrook suffers a third concussion this year then he’ll have to hang up the cleats for good.

He took a few days off from the show so they could try to work things out,” a source told American tabloid the National Enquirer. “But if anything, he may have made the situation worse. “Regina demanded that he tell the complete truth about what he did with the women, but Dave hemmed and hawed.

Danny dislikes panel discussions because it’s just people cutting each other off. He agrees to do Issues with Jane Velez-Mitchell. Jean opened up saying she was startled to hear he was drinking again. It was a straight on attack, but he was prepared for it. Danny said he’d rather be drunk than insane and falling off the wagon over and over again could lead to insanity. She then went on to tell him that they have a deadly disease. Danny counters with the charity work he’s done at children’s hospitals over the years and those kids are the ones in real danger. Jodie Sweetin then joined the panel; Danny invited her to go drinking with him. That didn’t go over so well. Danny felt a little tricked, but he still wanted to do a good job on the show and deliver. Now Danny has an open letter to CNN after giving Jane Velez-Mitchell an invitation to appear on this radio show. Danny suggests that the network not ambush guests that are smarter than the hosts.

Valley Swim Club president John Duesler sent an e-mail to club "friends and families" Friday saying the board of directors had voted 5-1 to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy this week, The Philadelphia Daily News reported. "While many will point towards our legal situation and negative media exposure this summer as the reason, the truth is that the club has struggled to stay out of the red for at least the last decade," the newspaper quoted Duesler's e-mail as saying. "Despite our most ambitious efforts and countless hours of dedication towards the club, we have been unable to grow our membership enough to sustain The Valley Club any longer," he said, according to the newspaper. "Indeed, we have not been profitable, for as long as I've been with the club. And our current debt from this year's operation and legal fees now exceeds $100,000." Members "are all tired and beaten down and just sickened by how our club has been improperly portrayed," he said, according to the Daily News. "After speaking to many members, my sense is that mostly everyone wants to move on." Chapter 7 is a big deal. That means that bills can’t get paid, not reorganization.
It's a big deal for a guy -- getting down on one knee, slipping the ring on the finger of his girlfriend and proposing marriage. Now many people are saying guys should be treated the same way. More women are not only the recipients of rings, but are giving them to their guys. Some girls say that it isn't fair that they're the only ones getting a ring. They say that male bling, dubbed man-gagement rings, is a way for them to advertise that their men are taken. Wedding rings on men are like chum to a shark. Danny had a ring tattooed on his finger and he still cheated non-stop.
A Spider-Man impersonator was arrested on outstanding criminal warrants Wednesday after an incident in which he allegedly slugged a man near the Hollywood & Highland complex, police said. It was not immediately clear what led to the altercation, which was reported about 12:30 p.m. in the 6800 block of Hollywood Boulevard. But it's the latest in a string of incidents involving movie characters and celebrity look-alikes who vie for space -- and attention -- along the tourist-filled corridor that includes Grauman's Chinese Theatre. Christopher Loomis, 39, was being held on outstanding misdemeanor warrants in lieu of $5,500 bail, police said. The incident began when Los Angeles Police Department patrol officers received a radio call reporting battery by a man in a Spider-Man costume. When they arrived, they encountered four people dressed as the web-slinging crusader. "They stopped one, it wasn't him," said LAPD Lt. Beverly Lewis. "They stopped the second, and it was the suspect." The victim, who said he had been hit on the face and arms, refused to press charges against the costumed impersonator. But Lewis said that when they discovered the warrants, Loomis was booked. She said it appeared that the suspect and victim knew each other. That’s right across from Danny’s house in Los Angeles. Danny wants to know if Metro can come over for Spider-Man dinner. What is Spider-Man dinner? Danny won’t say, but there is something on the counter in his kitchen marked ‘Do Not Eat, For Metro.’

Danny Bonaduce Show 11/13/09
6:02 – Danny’s a little confused this morning. Danny tends to talk about himself because lots of bizarre and interesting things happen to him and he can’t be the only one with these experiences. Danny was woken up by a phone call which came at 5:02. He was in a panic because he knew he was late for work. This gets him a little wound up so he and Amy go back and forth, Danny enjoys a good screaming fight, it’s fun for him. There’s no harm intended, it’s just how he was raised and it’s never from a mean place. Like a Tasmanian Devil, Danny tore through the house getting ready for the show, screaming all the way, wondering what he was going to talk about on the show. As he opened the door to leave for the morning she finally got a word in edgewise and told Danny that it wasn’t 5am, but 5pm. Danny loses track of days with all the hours he work.
6:11 – Danny takes calls from people who suffer from the same thing. Walt works two jobs two days a week, sometimes not realizing it’s Sunday until the Eagles are playing. Shane thinks it would have been funny for Amy to let Danny go to work at 5 in the afternoon and realize that after all the insanity that he wasn’t supposed to be at work for another 12 hours. He’d have laughed, but maybe after a little screaming. Alan, who works for the police department, has rotating shifts and has perpetual jet lag. Danny would get lost in the days of the week when he was doing a morning radio show and The Other Half about 9 years ago. Jerry is subcontractor for the Post Office, working overnights six days a week for 12 years, but doesn’t lose track of days that often. No matter what day it is Danny knows one thing, he hates his ex-wife.
6:32 – The internet is down for all of CBS Radio, nationwide. This is causing Metro to meltdown, but technology has passed Danny by. He prefers to talk to the people rather than read stuff on the internet. Danny’s actually glad the internet is down because this allows him time to talk to people, this won’t ruin his day. Mike calls to say he needs the internet because he likes watching videos of Danny on 94wysp.com. Matt thinks the internet is nice, but life was fine before it. Jim, an ER doctor, is without the internet until he can get the hookup at his new house and it’s driving him out of his mind. John calls to say that he doesn’t need it to function on a daily basis.

The defensive shuffle continues for the Philadelphia Eagles. Injuries, and one suspension, will force the Eagles to use several players in different roles against the San Diego Chargers on Sunday. Chris Gocong, usually the strongside linebacker, will become the Eagles’ sixth middle linebacker this season. Middle linebacker Will Witherspoon will move to the weakside and rookie Moise Fokou gets his second start on the strongside.
Frank Gore ran for 104 yards and a touchdown, Jay Cutler threw a career-high five interceptions with his last coming in the end zone on the game's final play and San Francisco snapped a four-game losing streak by beating the Chicago Bears 10-6 on Thursday night.

Coast Guard boats, planes and helicopters searched the roiling ocean off Cape May today for three commercial fishermen whose boat sank, and colleagues of the missing men prayed for a miracle. Kenneth Rose Jr., 49, the captain of the Sea Tractor, his 75-year-old father, Kenneth Sr., and 55-year-old crew member Larry Forrest were aboard the 44-foot fishing boat when it sank about 20 miles east of Cape May on Wednesday night. All are believed to be from North Carolina. The Coast Guard has recovered an empty life raft, but had not found any signs of survivors as of Thursday morning as weather conditions continued to worsen, due in part to the remnants of Tropical Storm Ida, which was churning the sea from North Carolina to Long Island, N.Y.
Just as the trial of accused cop killer John Lewis was getting underway on Thursday in Philadelphia, the defendant stunned the courtroom by pleading guilty to the crimes against him. Opening statements and the start of testimony were expected Thursday morning in the trial of John Lewis, 23, who is charged with the murder of Philadelphia police officer Chuck Cassidy in October of 2007. As is normal procedure, the judge asked Lewis on Thursday morning how he pleads. The answer: "Guilty." The judge has imposed a gag order, so attorneys have been prohibited from making statements about the case to the press. Danny notes that the DA is out for a death penalty because they declined the plea deal.
The Colorado parents accused of the "balloon boy" hoax are to plead guilty, a local newspaper citing a statement from their lawyer said Thursday. The Fort Collins Coloradoan reported on its website that Richard and Mayumi Heene would enter guilty pleas on Friday in order to prevent the deportation of Japanese national Mayumi. Under an agreement with prosecutors, mother-of-three Mayumi will plead guilty to false reporting to authorities, a misdemeanor offense which stipulates a period of probation. Richard Heene will plead guilty to attempting to influence a public servant, a felony, with a stipulated sentence of probation, according to the statement. The Heene family is going to have to foot the bill for the circus they caused. Danny cost the city of Phoenix over a million dollars for his high speed chase years ago. He didn’t have to pay that off though.

Chris is wondering how to tell his girlfriend she looks better without makeup. Danny says just to speak up and let her know. Chris is worried it’ll be like telling her that a pair of jeans makes her ass look big. Chicks are an iffy proposition. Take notice of her beauty in a guyish way and don’t compare it to anything because she’ll hear what she wants to hear.
Brook recently had sex with an ex-boyfriend and wants to be friends with benefits. She doesn’t think that she’ll get attached, which is something that isn’t easy to do. So if they can keep it just sex and be polite about it, it’s perfect. It never lasts though because one person starts to get attached. Have a great time, but be prepared for a mumbling ‘I love you’ at some point.
Steve’s been dating a girl for two years, they live together now, but he’s not into sex with her now. There are two ways to deal with this. The first one is to watch other men hit on your girl so it reminds you of the attraction. The second way is to cheat carefully. The excitement of not getting caught after sex with another woman makes the old girlfriend more attractive. Getting caught can hurt feelings. Steve’s girlfriend won’t let him watch porn either. She should be aware that there’s less sex and less porn. The two are directly related. Get the best of both worlds and push play on the DVD!
JD left $700 cash in his bedroom, left and is wondering which of his two friends took it when neither will confess to it. Danny thinks that JD knows in his gut that did it. He will probably never get the money back. Confront the main suspect; offer $700 to take a lie detector test. If the suspect takes the cash he has nothing to lie about, but if the guy claims to be offended then he’s the thief.

The Who will perform at Superbowl XLIV, marking the British band's first performance in North America since 2008. The veteran band is rumored to take the stage during the halftime show of the 2010 National Football League championship game, scheduled for February 7 in Miami. The NFL has yet to officially confirm the report, saying, "When we have something to announce, we'll announce it." Danny thinks this is a downgrade from last year’s Springsteen set, but he still digs The Who.
Former Miss California Carrie Prejean's ex-boyfriend has claimed that she asked him to lie about her age in the sex tape she made of herself. Earlier this week the hottie told NBC''s "Today" show that she made the explicit video at the age of 17 and sent it to her boyfriend. However, the boyfriend has refuted Prejean’s statement adding that she was 20-years-old when she had shot the video. Prejean had apparently sent him the particular video when they were dating in 2007, along with many other explicit clips. Now little Miss Bible Thumper is busted. Danny recommends that women take the tapes or memory cards from sex tapes so other girls don’t get burned either.
Jon Gosselin is the latest victim of sex tape scandal. The reality star and father of eight children reportedly has an R-rated tape that shows him having sex with a random woman. The allegation is brought to the surface by Jon's bodyguard, Thomas Meinelt. Jon's former nanny Stephanie Santoro testifies, "Tom told me that Jon was secretly videotaped having sex with a woman in Los Angeles in October, and he's seen the tape!" "Tom said people close to Jon put a camera in his hotel room, and paid a girl to flirt with Jon and have sex with him. He also told me that he saw Jon snort cocaine on more than one occasion, and that the more Jon got into partying, the more cocaine he used." Stephanie reveals further. As of the press time, there has been no evidence that the reported sex tape does exist. Jon himself has not yet addressed the issue.8:30 – It’s time to talk Eagles football with Howard Eskin! The Birds are looking pretty banged up going to San Diego, but Howard thinks they stand a good chance at a win. The Chargers are coming off a win against the Giants and might be looking ahead to Denver next week, so they might not focus on Sunday. The betting line has been driven down, so there has to be a reason that the smart betters are taking the Eagles in this game. Howard thinks that professional athletes have lulls because it’s hard to put the same, high intensity focus on every game for 16 weeks. For the Eagles to win the defense has to pressure Philip Rivers. The Eagles offensive line has to play better. How will the Eagles deal with another trip to California after losing to the Raiders? The Eagles took Oakland for granted and won’t do the same with the Chargers this Sunday. Westbrook should play, but he’s not the same Westbrook we’ve come to expect on the field. Howard thinks that a change at quarterback needs to happen if McNabb can’t get the team to the Superbowl soon. Making a change at coach and quarterback in the same year can be devastating to a team though. Howard points out the lack of comeback wins for McNabb.

Remnants of Tropical Storm Ida are pounding the East Coast, flooding coastal areas in New Jersey after slamming the Carolinas and Virginia. Strong winds and waves are causing severe beach erosion along the New Jersey shore. However, the rain has not been as heavy as first predicted and that could help ease the flooding. Many streets are flooded in Cape May County, which was under a state of emergency. Although officials suggested voluntary evacuations of low-lying areas late Thursday, there's no immediate word of any mandatory evacuations.
The Army psychiatrist accused in the Fort Hood shootings was charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder in the military's legal system, making him eligible for the death penalty if convicted, officials said Thursday. Meanwhile, President Barack Obama ordered a review of all intelligence related to Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, and whether the information was properly shared and acted upon within government agencies. U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command spokesman Chris Grey said at a news conference that additional charges may also be filed against Hasan. "We have a duty and obligation to protect the constitutional rights of everyone involved," Grey said. Danny thinks that the witness stand should also the electric chair and eliminate appeals in a case like this.
Police said a woman threatened her husband with a 7-inch knife after he threw away her bottle of vodka as she slept in their suburban Detroit home. Clawson police Lt. Scott Sarvello told The Daily Tribune of Royal Oak the man returned home from work Sunday night to find his wife sleeping with a bottle of vodka. He threw away the bottle. Sarvello said the 34-year-old woman woke up, argued with her husband, went back to sleep, then got up again and grabbed a knife from the kitchen to force him to get her vodka or give her the car keys. Police said the man held her at bay with a chair while he called 911. She was arrested and found to have a blood-alcohol level of 0.23 percent. She was arraigned Tuesday on a felony charge of assault with a dangerous weapon. Danny had an affair with vodka; all of America saw it on Breaking Bonaduce. Taking someone’s vodka while they’re asleep is just plain wrong.

6:04 – It takes nature hundreds of years to make a diamond, but it takes women even longer to pick one out. Danny was tricked into going to a jewelry shop to pick out Amy’s wedding ring, but Danny’s in no rush to get married. Danny felt a bit ambushed and disinterested in the entire ordeal. Danny was fine with buying the ring yesterday, but she didn’t want to have to pay for her wedding ring with a credit card with her name on it. Danny was displeased and wanted to take of it there and then. It’s her ring, her finger, his money, and wasted walk to 8th Street for him. It was tough for him to pay attention with all the shiny objects too. He’s easily distracted. Danny takes some alls from guys who have been through the same ordeal. Katrina thinks that a woman shouldn’t pick out her own ring, something that Danny agrees with. If Amy is calling all the shots and Danny has no say then she should be able to buy it then. Amy couldn’t tell the difference between a diamond and cubic zirconia under the microscope, but Danny’s opportunity to save big was lost to his stubbornness. Amy’s dead set on getting a stone that can blind other drivers when she’s behind the wheel, she’s into the sparkle. Now the ring is going to take about a month to finish, so in four weeks Danny can make the big long walk to get Amy her ring, and come home with a fugazi.

Eagles cornerback Joselio Hanson was suspended four games by the NFL on Wednesday for violating the league's drug policy. Hanson's attorney, David Cornwell, said in a statement that Hanson did not use steroids but tested positive for a diuretic after last year's NFC title game against Arizona. "The urine specimen that Joselio provided after the game tested positive for a diuretic," Cornwell said. "Joselio did not use steroids or any other substance that would enhance his performance." While not specifying what product Hanson used, Cornwell said the player "felt 'bloated' after eating Chinese food and ingested a pill that turned out to be a diuretic." Cornwell said the NFL's policy on diuretics is misguided because it assumes they are used to mask the use of performance-enhancing drugs. "It is noteworthy that the World Anti-Doping Agency recently implemented amendments that eviscerate the misplaced presumption about diuretics embedded in the NFL's steroid policy and reduce discipline for diuretics to include warnings and, where appropriate, suspension." A diuretic would do nothing for bloating from Chinese food. They wreck kidneys and shed water weight. Body builders use it for dropping weight to look shredded; it’s not going to do anything to improve performance on the field.
Philadelphia Eagles receiver DeSean Jackson has hired Drew Rosenhaus to represent him in future contract talks with the team. Rosenhaus represents more than 100 NFL players, but he is best known for his public role with Terrell Owens. It was Rosenhaus, who repeatedly said “Next Question,” at a bizarre press conference with Owens after the Eagles benched T.O. in his final season in Philadelphia. Jackson is under contract to the Eagles at $1 million a season until 2011. But he is seen as a rising star in the league. Next question!

Mark raised his son to avoid violence, now he’s getting picked on at school. The bullies wait for him after school, but the kid doesn’t want to fight. The one time his son did stand up for himself he hurt the other kid rather badly.

Ed is a Philly boy, having watched Wilt Chamberlain play in the city as a kid, is proud to help out too. He’s looking for organizations to help and get underprivileged people to the games.

What the vibe of the team this early in the season with new coach Eddie George? There are some new players and guys coming back from injuries, so it’ll take some time for Eddie’s influence to be felt with the up tempo offense.

Now, Perry says that Tyler "never said he was leaving the band" but further explains that the singer "said he wanted two years off to do his other projects," which is where things become problematic. It’s like the weather report, always changing. They’re coming off like bickering chicks lately.
Police are investigating conflicting accounts of an airport scuffle between Mike Tyson and photographer that resulted in both men being booked and released on suspicion of misdemeanor battery. The former heavyweight boxing champion and photographer Tony Echevarria, 50, want to press charges of misdemeanor battery against each other, police said. The photographer told police that Tyson struck him once, Los Angeles airport police spokesman Sgt. Jim Holcomb said. The photographer fell to the ground and was treated for a cut to his forehead at a hospital. Tyson's spokeswoman Tammy Brook said the boxer was traveling with his wife and 10-month-old child when he was attacked by an overly aggressive paparazzo. "Mike acted in self defense as a father protecting his child," she said. Since they’re filing charges against each other, Danny foresees a small settlement and each party going their separate ways.

Sesame Street celebrates it’s 40th anniversary this week, so today’s fight is inspired by children’s programming. Metro takes Big Bird because of speed, his talons, and his beak and Barney doesn’t have a killer instinct. Spike also takes Big Bird because of the beak size and his genetic connection to dinosaurs. Danny goes with Barney because of his thick skin and weight advantage, he’ll be able to break Big Bird into tiny little pieces.
Randy takes Barney because Big Bird’s old and out of shape. Sam takes Big Bird because Barney’s a vegetarian with an awful laugh. Tom takes Barney because there’s no killer instinct in a giant canary. Bitch takes Big Bird because he lives in the ghetto. Joe is another call for Big Bird because Barney is imaginary. Dan likes Big Bird because Barney has fake teeth. Billy goes with Big Bird too because The Bird Is the Word. Yvonne is another Big Bird call because he could fight like an ostrich. Big Bird wins the phone vote and the text vote. Big Bird wins!

Authorities were worried for a while Sunday after witnesses saw a man push a car into the Manatee River after an argument with his girlfriend. The car was removed from the water and was found to be empty, but the 36-year-old man who pushed the car in the river was arrested, according to a press release. Deputies say Anthony R. Boggs, 36, argued with his live-in girlfriend while they were in her car at 10:15 p.m. Sunday. He threw her out of the car and drove off, authorities say. A few minutes later, witnesses reportedly saw Boggs at a boat ramp pushing the car toward the water. Deputies found Boggs at the boat ramp and a dive team found the submerged vehicle. Boggs was charged with battery and illegal dumping. His girlfriend was later discovered to be safe. Who hasn’t wanted to do that at least once in their life with a girlfriend ragging on them?

He was able to finagle a bottle of champagne from a hotel after predicting that he would somehow get a free bottle of bubbly 5 hour earlier. That’s an example of creating his own weirdness. He also hit up the Social Security office for a new card, having to fill out forms that mystified him. Danny wrote his name on the forms as ‘Danny Bonaduce’, however that is not his legal name. That’s Dante Daniel Bonaduce, so that was one wrong answer already. He also learned that he was born in Bala Cynwyd, which was news to him. He also wasn’t sure of his parents middle names. He also needed help with his zip code. The clerk was gracious, but reminded Danny that he might know everything there is to know while doing Danny Bonaduce: Life Coach, but he didn’t know his name or where he lived. After all of that the clerk handed the completed forms over to Danny and asked him to check for mistakes. That was the source of great laughter and the clerk handed Amy the forms because they both knew that the task would be over Danny’s head.

The Phillies won’t spend the $15 million needed to land Roy Halladay, according to general manager Ruben Amaro. Amaro had a detailed talk with reporters during Tuesday’s general manager meeting in Chicago, and he was quick to deny rumors that the Phillies would trade for Halladay and dump Cole Hamels. Halladay will not fit in the Phillies’ current budget, Amaro said, which will remain around $140 million. After the Phillies get arbitration numbers for Shane Victorino and Joe Blanton, the team will not have salary room for Halladay. "I have no thoughts about trading Cole Hamels," Amaro also said. "I don't know where those rumors are coming out, but that is exactly what they are. Cole Hamels is our pitcher. We're keeping him. And I'm glad to have him." Amaro did openly talk about the team’s efforts to sign a starting third baseman, starting next Thursday, and the need to add bullpen and catching depth. The Phillies are actively trying to bring back Chan Ho Park as a key bullpen member.

If not for the quick action of an Upper Darby police officer, a man who was stomped unconscious during a fight outside a bar early Saturday might not have survived, police said today. Officer John News was pulling out of the Upper Darby police station at 2:19 a.m. when he saw the fight outside Sean Og Irish Pub directly across the street. A group of men and one woman were stomping on the victim. Michael J. Chitwood, superintendent of police, said an altercation in the bar had moved into the street. A surveillance video obtained from a nearby business showed in detail one man continuing to stomp on the head of the unconscious victim. News pulled the assailant off the man. Police have charged Rhashad Carlton, 25, and his mother, Bonita Carlton, 45 - both of the 7100 block of West Chester Pike - with aggravated assault and disorderly conduct. Chitwood said that after viewing the video, which police received today, he plans to upgrade the charges on Rhashad Carlton to include attempted murder. A fight is over when one guy hits the dirt or gives. Stomping a fellas head is just evil.
A Delaware woman says she has been the victim of tormenting at work. The taunt? That she really is a man. Now she has filed complaints with the city and state, saying it was illegal. Dave Huddleston has the story. Carol Castillo says she's been living a nightmare. "This happened in a work environment," Carol said. "I feel like I have to hide for something I haven't done." Carol says what was done to her is beyond cruel. She says she's the victim of a horrible rumor on her job. The rumor? That Carol is actually a man. "It was very humiliating," Carol said. Carol was a Philadelphia-based flight attendant for USA 3000. Among the comments Carol said she heard: A first officer said she looked like a man. Another flight attendant said there was a penis sticking out of Carol's skirt. A pilot said Carol was "growing a beard." If an entire company did this for three years and she finally cracked, Danny can see the law suit being valid. What kind of defense is ‘I’m just this ugly’ though?
Sniper John Allen Muhammad refused to utter any last words as he was executed, taking to the grave answers about why and how he plotted the killings of 10 people that terrorized the Washington, D.C., area for three weeks in October 2002. The 48-year-old died by injection at 9:11 p.m. Tuesday as relatives of the victims watched from behind glass, separated from the rest of the 27 witnesses at Greensville Correctional Center, south of Richmond. Muhammad was executed for killing Dean Harold Meyers, who was shot in the head at a Manassas gas station during the spree across Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C. If it was convenient Danny would watch an execution, but only if it’s in an hour’s travel.

Hundreds of "Twilight" fans flocked to the Cherry Hill Mall on Tuesday for the chance to see a pair of fictional vampires. Actors Charlie Bewley and Daniel Cudmore, who play creatures of the night in the upcoming film "New Moon," visited the shopping center on Route 38 to meet fans of the fantasy franchise. The movie is based on the second novel in the popular "Twilight Saga" series by author Stephenie Meyer. The first book, "Twilight," spawned a widely popular 2008 film of the same name. Bewley and Cudmore portray Demetri and Felix, respectively, members of an old Italian vampire coven, the Volturi Clan. 20 years ago it was Paula Abdul. The only people screaming their names in 3 years are going to be at the unemployment office. Danny’s been through the mall tours and can see the future of these kids and it’s bleak unless they have other talents.
The television news producer accused of trying to blackmail David Letterman asked a judge today to dismiss the charges against him, claiming he was only trying to sell the talk show host a screenplay. "There was no extortion," said Halderman's attorney Gerald Shargel outside a Manhattan courthouse. He described Halderman's contact with Letterman as a "simple and straight forward commercial transaction [that] did not break the law." Shargel asked the judge to dismiss the case based on a lack of evidence presented to the grand jury. He said the judge's decision whether to dismiss the case will be announced in January. This guy is a rat and should go to jail.
Former Miss California USA Carrie Prejean calls a sex tape she made for an ex-boyfriend several years ago “the biggest mistake of my life.” Prejean told Fox News on Monday and NBC’s “Today” show on Tuesday that she shot the X-rated video of herself alone when she was 17 and sent it to a boyfriend. The 22-year-old tells NBC: “It was for private use, but does that justify what I did? No. It was the biggest mistake of my life.” Prejean was fired in June. She believes she lost her crown because of her opposition to gay marriage. Pageant organizers said she was skipping official events. If she was 17 when she did it then it could be considered child porn. Maybe Miss Bible Thumper needs to go back and read ALL of her Bible, because there are sections that deem sexual activity for procreation only. Pick a side and stick with it.
8:31 – JC Satellite, a band of hard rocking teenagers from Philly, are in the studio. They range from 13 to 17 years of age. Danny’s heard they shred and he wants to be impressed. The band has three brothers in it. Miss Balmer calls in to ask Jake why he’s not in school today. He has rock n’ roll fever and only Dr. Bonaduce has the cure. She proceeds to quiz Jake on capital cities of the Middle East. Danny throws in some bonus facts about Baghdad and Jordan. Spike discovered the band while listening to bands who sent in songs for Loud n’ Local. The kids dig AC/DC the most and just about anything that rocks. Danny encourages the kids to be smart with their money as they work their way up the ladder.
8:56 – JC Satellite is ready to play and they play big boy rock, not teen tunes. First up ‘She’s A Rebel’ off their album Rule The World. Absolutely impressive and Jake knows that Cairo is the capital of Egypt!

Danny could hang with their training until it comes to running, that’s his downfall. Danny never served, but he’s performed for the troops on many occasions. He’d love the chance to test himself in the service of the country though. Danny would like to see more destruction in modern wars so the win comes faster.

Police in Bethel Township are continuing their search for a suspect in the reported attempted abduction of a teenage girl waiting for the bus Tuesday morning. The 13-year-old victim told police she was waiting for her school bus at Trotters Lea and Sulky Way at about 6:45 a.m. when a masked suspect jumped out from behind a utility box. "The guy told her to turn around, and if she screamed, made any noise or tried to run that he would kill her. And then the bus came around the corner, and he ran," said Justin Thomas, a fellow bus rider and classmate of the victim. The teen was able to flee the scene and safely board the bus. Danny’s special message to the kids: if anyone tries to abduct you scream and un the other way. The guy will split the other way because no one wants to get caught in the middle of a kidnapping.
On Tuesday, former NASA astronaut Lisa Nowak pleaded guilty to reduced charges and avoided jail time for her 2007 attack on a romantic rival. Nowak apologized in court to her victim, which was former Air Force Captain Colleen Shipman, before being sentenced to a year on probation.
An Army reservist's military identification turned a mugging into a display of patriotism on the eve of Veterans Day. A 21-year-old college student was walking home from work at 1:15 a.m. yesterday when he was pulled into an alley and told to lay face down. He felt a gun on his neck. Four men took his wallet, $16, keys and his cellphone. But the hostile tone quickly changed when one of the robbers, whom the reservist presumed was the leader, found an Army ID in the wallet. The robber told the others to return the items and they put his belongings on the ground next to him. That’s a great story, even thieves honor veterans. Danny’s advice for people getting mugged at gunpoint: Do what they say.

6:02 – Danny had a tough weekend and was surprised that Amy was in a good mood this morning because they had a good 24 hours. Is that how she measures their relationship? This lead to a long list of things in Danny’s life that annoy her. She wrote a list with Danny’s help.
Why Danny Bonaduce is Annoying – by Amy Railsback
Life Coach never ends. You think you know everything all day.
You ruin movies that you recommend because you’ve seen them so many times you recite the movies line for line.
You chime in when I’m on the phone, but won’t take the phone, just shout over me and make your opinions known loudly.
You constantly repeat yourself, telling the same stories over and over and demand that I listen to the stories with the same enthusiasm as the first time.
Your stories never end. As soon as one comes to completion it reminds you of a better story.
You are a one-upper; you always have to outdo everyone.
When you can’t sleep you make sure to wake me up to tell me that you can’t sleep and you never sleep.
When you do something nice, you can’t stop talking about how nice you are.
If any girl looks in your direction you assume that she wants to abandon her husband to be with you.
Do you know anyone, anyone who has done all these things: written and produced three popular reality shows, host a morning show in Philadelphia, written a New York Times best seller, a third degree black belt, and was famous at the age of 10?
You constantly announce that you are a genius.
You play like a child with reckless abandon, bleeding at least three times a week, spending money on toys and breaking expensive things.
The only thing you truly care about is your radio show.
Danny acknowledges and agrees with everything on the list, but has no plan on changing any of these habits. Jim calls to say that all these reasons should translate into big ratings. Ryan thinks that after knowing all of this, if Amy still marries Danny she’s getting everything that’s coming to her. Greg thinks about his annoying habits including wanting to tell his wife about his day at 6:30 in the morning when he gets home from work. Jerry asks Danny if the list hurts his feelings at all. The list started out with Amy saying how good Amy felt about their relationship was going.

The Chiefs released the controversy-plagued Johnson on Monday, the day he was due back from his second suspension in the past 12 months. On his Twitter account two weeks ago, Johnson had questioned coach Todd Haley's competence, insulted followers and used a gay slur. He repeated the gay slur the next day to reporters and was suspended for two weeks. Johnson was only 75 yards away from breaking Priest Holmes' team rushing record, and his agent said he greeted his release with mixed feelings. "A part of him is excited and a part of him is very regretful," Peter Schaffer told the Associated Press. "There's a lot of feelings going on right now. It's analogous to breaking up with a girlfriend. Maybe you saw it coming, but it still hurts when it happens."

If the Philadelphia Phillies won, the New York Hunts Point Terminal Market agreed to donate one truckload of produce to Philabundance, Philadelphia's local food bank. However, if the Yankees clinched the World Series title, the Philadelphia Regional Produce Market would donate a truckload of produce to the Food Bank for New York City. One truckload contains more than ten tons of produce. Sweetening the deal, some in the losing market will don the winning team's jersey while loading the truck. Representatives from Philadelphia and New York announced Monday that both food banks will make out on this deal. Understanding the ever-growing need for food, the Philadelphia Regional Produce Market and the Hunts Point Terminal Market have arranged for Philabundance to receive a truckload of produce as well. Philadelphia Regional Produce Market employees held up their end of the bargain and wore Yankees jerseys as loaded food onto trucks Tuesday morning. The food was to be delivered to both banks later in the day. Danny was supposed to do community service work for the Philadelphia Food Bank, but went to the grocery store instead so he could say he did the work instead of going door to door collecting canned goods.
Pennsylvania SPCA officials say 16 animals were rescued from a home in the Grey's Ferry section of Philadelphia. Authorities say neighbors called to complain about two dogs fighting on the 1300 block of South 29th Street. When animal control officers arrived, they found the dogs fighting on the porch of the home. It doesn't appear to be a dog fighting operation, but PSPCA director of law enforcement, George Bengal, says it is being investigated as a case of animal hoarding at the suspect's home: "He'll be charged for unsanitary conditions for all these animals, plus lack of vet care for the animals from what we can see so far." Twelve dogs, three cats, and a turtle were pulled from the house.
Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan sent repeated e-mails over the last year to a Muslim cleric known for extremist views, but federal terrorism investigators deemed the contact harmless and took no action. "He is a man of conscience who could not bear living the contradiction of being a Muslim and serving in an army that is fighting against his own people," al-Awlaki's blog said. Hasan, who is recovering from gunshot wounds in a San Antonio military hospital, is believed to have met al-Awlaki as early as 2001, when the cleric led a large northern Virginia mosque where Hasan sometimes worshipped. At the time, the U.S.-born imam styled himself as a moderate who condemned the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Danny was hoping this wasn’t the case.
A Cornell professor recently alerted the entire university to his affair with a coworker when he unknowingly CC’ed the entire school in a steamy, detailed e-mail. Danny wrote a vicious e-mail about his ex-wife to his sister, carbon copied his wife, but sent it to his niece rather than his sister. Danny also wrote a crazy e-mail to the producer of Celebrity Championship Wrestling, but sent it to the producer of The Smoking Gun Presents: World’s Dumbest. Realizing his mistake Danny realized he’d just have to tough it out. Danny takes calls from the listeners that include a guy who sent a nude photo of himself to the wrong woman, a woman whose friend was fired for writing everyone in her company she thought the competing company looked like a better option, a woman who got a message from her boyfriend which was intended to warn the girl he was cheating with that the girlfriend was onto them. Another woman sent nude photos of herself to her mother instead of her boyfriend.

Will passed on drug test, went for a second round and tested positive after seeing the nurse pluck a cup from a batch of specimens rather than follow the custody of command with it. Now the company is offering to test the sample again, for a fee. Will has a case. Labs mishandle samples constantly. Since he can prove that the chain of custody was broken he can sue, but rather than do that he just wants his job back.
John’s boss used to allow for time of travel rather than pay overtime. Now the boss is willing to pay overtime, but he’s only getting extra cash for over 50 hours instead of 40 hours.

Lynn has some issues with the men her daughter chooses. Lynn’s daughter was cheated on by two fiancées, now the latest guy beat her 21 month-old granddaughter. Horrible. Lynn and her daughter took out orders or restraint, but found that her daughter was still communicating with the bad guy. There’s a fourth guy, a new one, in the picture now and Lynn is very protective because of her previous experience. Lynn can’t change her daughter’s choice in men, but what can change is the men. Danny was a villain to Gretchen’s family, but a hero to Amy’s.
7:51 – Kelly Carlin McCall, daughter of George Carlin, is on the show to talk about a book she wrote about her father. Carlin went to jail for his act once and was arrested in Wisconsin for indecent language on stage. Carlin gave much credit to Lenny Bruce and the two of them broke ground and pushed boundaries of what comedians could do. Carlin was always going in new directions with other comedians following. Carlin would build material from essays he compiled over time on certain topics and build shows around them as the topics gathered material. He was on the road or working on a new act, being a father was important to him, but it wasn’t always easy to let go of work.

Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry said that he and his bandmates are "positively looking for a new singer to work with," following a rift with frontman Steven Tyler. Perry made the announcement on his Twitter page, ratcheting up an unusually public feud with his songwriting partner of 40 years. The duo, dubbed the "Toxic Twins" for their hard-living days of yore, wrote such classic-rock staples as "Walk this Way" and "Love in an Elevator." Their musical relationship has been likened to that of their role models, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones. But Tyler, 61, recently said he wants to concentrate on solo endeavors, a claim he has made in the past but never followed through on. He also stopped communicating with the rest of the band several months ago, and hired his own manager. Perry told Reuters last month that Tyler has refused to write a song with him for a decade. More recently, Perry said that the last time he phoned Tyler, the singer hung up on him. Wasn’t this a bad Mark Wahlberg movie? Who could step in and make the band better or at least taken seriously? Not at all. Van Halen was able to make it work with Sammy and Dave, but Tyler is Aerosmith and Aerosmith is Steven Tyler. Maybe he smacked his head too hard when he fell of the stage in Sturgis.
Next week will mark “Sesame Street”'s 40th year on the air, and while many are celebrating the iconic PBS show that's become what the New York Times recently labeled "messianic," some conservatives are crying foul over the re-airing of a sketch that jabs fun at the right-leaning Fox News network. In the clip of the sketch that originally aired two years ago without controversy, Oscar the Grouch is playing a reporter for the "Grouch News Network," also known as "GNN," which certainly sounds familiar. After Oscar conducts an interview in which he shares hugs and kisses with his royal interview subjects, an irate viewer calls him to complain that his coverage of the news wasn't quite grouchy enough, saying "From now on, I am watching Pox News," adding, "Now there’s a trashy news show!" It’s a joke. Shut up!
Screen Gems has acquired Sheneneh and Wanda, a comic vehicle for Jamie Foxx and Martin Lawrence to star in. The duo would play female characters they developed during their stand up comedy days in the caper film. Foxx will write the script and he and Martin will produce together through Foxx's Foxxhole and Lawrence's Runteldat production companies. The project originated as a parody of a movie trailer for a film called "Skank Robbers," which Foxx and Lawrence made for the BET Awards (watch below!). The reaction was strong enough that the duo decided to turn the concept into a real film. In the comedy, Sheneneh and Wanda are modern day independent women trying to make it on their own, one bank robbery at a time. Danny digs the concept, but it might not be a hit. Let the Wayans Brothers do it!

8:52 – Bill Cosby is the one person that defines standup comedy for Danny. He was able to make millions on stage and only cursed once on stage. It takes a lot of courage to get up in front of a room of people and make them laugh with observations, especially without cursing. Spike’s life changing comedian was seeing Andrew Dice Clay at the Spectrum. Quite the opposite end of the spectrum from Bill Cosby. Danny also saw Cheech & Chong open for the Rolling Stone at the Forum in Los Angeles. Great show. Andy calls to say that seeing George Carlin at the Allentown Fair while on acid while in the Marines. Tara’s choice is Eddie Murphy’s Delirious.

Veet also thinks that Aerosmith without Tyler isn’t Aerosmith and Van Halen was only Van Halen with Roth. Soccer is more popular than Danny realized. People in this town are hungry for some 11 on 11 ball kicking. 877-21-Union for tickets! The team is having open try outs, but Veit admits that the likelihood of making team is very slim, but not impossible. Soccer is inexpensive and soon will be as big in America as it is around the rest of the world. Veit wants Danny to learn how to play soccer. When other kids were playing sports, Danny was working. Veit is calling shots! He might take the station over. He’s even willing to offer Bonaduce jerseys for people that buy season tickets for the next hour. Call now!

Close to one million strollers have been recalled by their manufacturer following reports at least 12 babies or toddlers had their fingers amputated after they were caught in the hinges.

The driver of Boston subway train that came to a screeching halt just before hitting a woman who had fallen onto the tracks has been hailed as a hero. Charice Lewis got a radio call from fellow Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority employee Jacqueline Osorio, who was standing on the platform at North Station on Friday night when she saw the woman tumble. Lewis, who saw passengers on the platform frantically waving their arms, immediately tugged her emergency brake. If she’s drunk enough to fall off a train platform then Danny wants to take her home.
9:57 – Danny loves eye witnesses. It keeps his reputation shiney and honest. Danny’s been wishing the Marines a happy anniversary all day and an enlisted member of the Marines came by the studio to say thanks for the well wishes. It turns out that one of them has been e-mail buddies for a while. The gentleman declined the opportunity to come on the air because he didn’t want to break protocol.

6:02 – What’s the big news of the day: Eagles/Cowboys, SEPTA strike, or the Health Care Reform bill? Danny found himself in the middle of the Yankees victory parade while going to tape an episode of The Smoking Gun Presents: World’s Dumbest. Yuck. Sunday Danny went to take part in the Parade of 1000 Rocky’s with a run on the Art Museum that lead to a bit of a shouting match and an apology. First Danny’s going to tell the New York story. Right after the show Danny and Amy took the train up to Manhattan, and he was mobbed by goons in Yankees jerseys wanting their photo with Danny. Some tool tossed a baseball at Danny to sign while Danny had his hands full, but that lead to some ball busting because he’s from Philadelphia than made Danny think that he was going to have to stand up for himself, but the fools apologized and no harm was meant. Danny ended buying a Yankees jersey to bring home and burn, but as his fiancée pointed out, the Series is over. There’s no way it’s over to Danny. Realizing that burning the jersey might have lost its impact, Danny threw it out in New York. So now the Yankees have his money and he has nothing to show for it.
6:19 – Danny lead the Parade of 1000 Rocky’s without a shirt on and had a blast. It was certainly a spectacle to behold. Jean calls to say she had a great time with her nephew at the parade. There was a boxing ring at the Art Museum and Danny allowed all the kids to take swings at him for fun. Some of them were rather aggressive. There were even a few choice uppercuts from a 9 year-old. The day concluded with a cheesesteak eating contest at the end. Danny initially took offense when someone said something to him about the Stern show, but after thinking about it and all the nice things that Howard’s done for Danny over the years, Danny had no issue with it. 6:40 – SPORTS:

The Philadelphia Phillies have declined their $5.5 million 2010 option on former Giants third baseman Pedro Feliz. Feliz hit .266 with 12 home runs and 82 RBI in 158 games for the National League champion Phillies this season. Goodbye Pedro, thanks for everything!
Andre Agasssi's new book "Open," in stores today, allows him to unburden himself of secrets he's carried for years. Secrets about using crystal meth, about evading punishment for a failed drug test, about wearing a hairpiece, about what he calls a long-standing hatred of tennis. Agassi described the memoir, a compelling read crafted by Pulitzer Prize winner J.R. Moehringer from tape recordings of the eight-time Grand Slam champion's taped recollections, as part of his "atonement for where I've been in my life." As he retraces that life in present tense — and without quotation marks, because "this is reconstructed dialogue," as he put it — Agassi sets out to explain himself and describe his journey from ninth-grade dropout to founder of a prep school in Las Vegas. He writes about his courtship of tennis star Steffi Graf, now his wife and the mother of their two children. Surprised by reaction to the book, Agassi was hoping he would get support for being honest. As the punch line to many junkie jokes Danny thinks Agassi should man up and own his past. Having accidentally done meth once, Danny can’t comprehend why anyone would go back to it. Danny wants an Agassi weave now. It’ll be the hot new look.

SEPTA management and transit workers announced early Monday morning that they had reached a deal to end the six-day-old transit strike in Philadelphia. The deal was announced at 12:45 a.m. Commuter service resumed Monday morning, although ridership appeared low early on as word was slow to spread. Gov. Ed Rendell, Mayor Michael Nutter and Rep. Bob Brady met with union leadership to finalize the contract terms. The deal has yet to be put to a vote of the full union membership. Unions do allow the workers to stand up for themselves, but they can also out price themselves for jobs. The city should be back to normal now. Yay!
Police have charged the alleged rapist who struck 8 vehicles while trying to flee. Police say a woman reported being raped sometime around 6:00 a.m. in the 5800 block of Ditman Street in the Wissinoming section of Philadelphia. They say the suspect then fled in a vehicle, hitting eight parked cars along the 6100 block of Hegerman Street, before fleeing on foot. Neighbors say the suspect returned a short time later to retrieve something from the car, then took off again. Around 3:00 p.m., police say they arrested 31-year-old Jose Miranda of G without incident. Miranda has been charged with the alleged rape and faces several additional vehicle and indecent exposure offenses related to the incident. What could have been in his car? His wallet would be the only thing that would make sense. One of Danny’s top bosses at a previous job took out a half-dozen mail boxes and two or three cars while Danny was riding with him.

If the boy comes to visit it’s certainly permissible to lay down the law when he gets there. If he cares enough about the daughter he won’t break the rules so he can see her again. Since he wanted to meet her first, things are moving in the right direction.
7:51 – The voice of the Eagles, Merrill Reese, is on the show after a letdown of a game last night. A few interceptions, some bad spots of the ball and a big play by Miles Austin made all the difference in the game. Merrill had no problem going for 3 with four minutes left rather than try for the touchdown. Go for the points! McCoy did well, but it’s always tough to find a positive after losing to Dallas. Circle January 3rd on your calendar. The Birds had a chance to win at the end, but the circumstances just didn’t allow that. Dallas was able to run out the clock and get first downs.

Ronnie James Dio was at the Brittany Foundation in Agua Dulce, California on Saturday, November 7 raising money to get his wife/manager Wendy Dio out of her cage. Twelve Brittany Foundation volunteers — including wife/manager Wendy Dio — experienced what it's like to be a homeless dog awaiting adoption while in a kennel. The volunteers made the caged dens their home for many consecutive hours to raise awareness of shelter life and to raise money for the Brittany Foundation. They sought to get friends, family or strangers to buy them out of their kennel for $1 per minute. Although each volunteer raised enough money to buy them out of their kennel for the day, they all chose to spend much of their day in the kennel anyway, Ruston said. Each volunteer reeled in $1400 to $1500 each for the Brittany Foundation. Wendy Dio, spent several hours in a kennel while the heavy metal legend, a self-described animal lover, signed autographs and granted personal pictures with his fans. Why didn’t Dio do it? He’s short enough that he could stand up in the cage without bending over.
British woman with two vaginas -- and two periods, two cervixes and two uteruses -- told her story "The Tyra Banks Show." Lauren Williams, 29, says her doctor told her she could even get pregnant twice at the same time -- but shouldn't. If pregnant in one uterus, she and her partner should use "condoms just in case I got pregnant in the other one," she said. As funny as it sounds, Danny feels bad for the husband when the wife’s period lasts for 21 days. 8:31 – Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan is on the show. He’s a big fan of Danny after his stint on CCW. His new book, My Life Outside the Ring, is a detail autobiography that goes deep into the tough times including his heartbreaking divorce. He was knocked off his feet when his wife, Linda, started selling lies to tabloids ramping up to their divorce. Hulk hit rock bottom and snapped out of it, making it out of the dark times. Many of his close friends encouraged him to write the book to tell his side of his story. Very few people are as famous as the Hulkster. Hulk is going to TNA and apparently has an interest in talking to Danny about getting involved in it. To keep his home and cars Hulk signed a deal to do some wrestling in Australia and then he’s headed to TNA in January to take it to a new level. Danny was impressed by the Hulkster’s book. Danny is retired from boxing, but not from wrestling, he should be expecting an important phone call soon.
9:01 - Last night Danny was an honorary captain for the Eagles/Cowboys game. He spent some time on the field before the game running around, shaking hands, taking photos with people and having a blast. The entire world is Danny Bonaduce’s playground. He was hanging on the field watching Akers boom field goals alongside some winners and Ike Reese. While talking to Danny Ike said that he doesn't have the hunger to suit up and take the field like he used to? Will there ever be a day that Danny goes into the ring once too many? Danny doesn't hear the call to wretle, but the call for applause. Wrestling and boxing is just a way to get it . For 48 years he's been able to get people to clap.
9:56 – Danny’s worried that something is wrong with Spike. Spike is on the verge of depression after last night’s game. Spike probably wouldn’t have been able to handle walking through the Yankees championship parade like Danny did on Friday. Spike points out the bright blue pants that Danny is wearing today. He thinks they’re cool, but the cowboy boots were a bad call. If you yell at Danny and call him a clown on the way home he won’t feel bad today.
10:04 – Danny’s Final Thought: Know it’s time to go or if you’ve still got one round in ya.

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
Gary’s been having some problems with his wife. Today is his first day clean. She was using and went clean, but she doesn’t know if she can have the same feelings for him that she once did. He went from oxy’s to Xanax, which is going to be tough to kick. Stay clean and time will heal old wounds. If Gary continues to use he’ll live with a woman who resents him rather than loves him.

This girl is poison, get away from her as fast as you can. This girl will break a heart on a daily basis and that’s torture.
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.

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.

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.

Michael Irvin and Mark Dacascos have been booted from the ballroom. The football player and TV personality were eliminated Tuesday from "Dancing with the Stars." Irvin failed to capture enough viewer votes to keep him in the competition, while Dacascos lost his spot during a last-ditch dance-off.
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.

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.

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. Police said one group involved in the fight was leaving the McDonald's and standing in the entrance way when police say the shooter fired at his intended targets. How hot is this girl?
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.
Danny Bonaduce Show 10/26/09
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.

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. We need to sit down and talk with Simon. ... It is an option, yeah." Holmgren said his team's medical staff will meet with Gagne on Wednesday to discuss his options.
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.
Jack has been smoking marijuana for 15 years and wants to kick the expensive habit. According to research it’s not physically addictive, but is psychologically addictive.

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.

Speculation suggests that Hogan may return to the ring, if not regularly then several times a year in showcase events. The good money as Hogan becoming a personality for TNA, presenting and appearing at events. Danny likes Hulk, but hopes he didn’t use the suicidal story to just promote his new TNA venture. Danny’s HHCCW contract has expired, so he can wrestle for TNA too!
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!

"Inmate John Muhammad was offered a choice in method of execution, and he declined," Larry Traylor said. "Under the code, if the inmate declines to choose, it defaults to lethal injection." Muhammad was convicted of killing Dean Harold Meyers, one of several victims in a series of sniper-style shootings that terrorized the Washington area in October 2002.
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.

DeSean Jackson rushed for a 67-yard touchdown and caught another 57-yard score to help the Eagles defeat the Washington Redskins 27-17. Donovan McNabb completed 15-of-25 passes for 156 yards for the Eagles, who rebounded from an disappointing 13-9 loss to Oakland last week. 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. The Yankees aren’t the defending world champions, the Phillies are. Philadelphia delivered a nation of freedom, not an island of trash called Manhattan. Danny’s willing to trade punches to the face with any New Yorker, if they have the guts.

The upcoming World Series could be a prime breading ground for the H1N1 Swine Flu, with thousands of people close together, high fiving, cheering, and potentially spreading germs, according to Dr. Donald Schwarz, the Philadelphia Health Commissioner. It’s just the flu, get over it!
Police in Chester County are searching for whoever is responsible for shooting and killing two family pets execution-style. Officers with the Chester County SPCA said two dogs were shot and then left along railroad tracks in Pocopson Township. "It appears they were shot somewhere else and brought to this location. Awful. Inhumane. I don't know how anybody could do that," Officer Cherly Shaw with the Chester County SPCA said. Danny’s not sure, but killing dogs bothers him more than killing a person he doesn’t know. 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

David was stung by something he was allergic to, so the boss has to pay and now there could be punitive penalties for pain and suffering for his bad reaction. Allergies can be deadly, there’s no reason that David should be in danger.

7:51 – The voice of the Eagles, Merrill Reese is on the show to talk about last night’s win over the Redskins. It was a 27-17 win, but it wasn’t as convincing as Merrill would have liked. 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. Enough about last night, there’s a game against the Giants to worry about now.

Some people don't have a high opnion of David Spade after seeing his new Direct TV ad with a deceased Chris Farley. 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.

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.

Baseball analyst Steve Phillips was fired by ESPN on Sunday night, less than a week after he admitted having an affair with a production assistant at the cable network.

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.

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! Broad Street vs. Broadway, cheesesteaks vs. cheesecake. Six months after Sabathia and Lee opposed each other in the first game at the new Yankee Stadium, they return to the Bronx for higher stakes. 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.

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. The plane landed safely Wednesday evening, and none of the passengers or crew was hurt, the National Transportation Safety Board said. 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.

6:02 – Danny was at AC/DC last night and did some drinking. After years of recovery he decided he wanted to drink in moderation again. The answer to the hair of the dog that bit you is to just don’t stop drinking. So the Phillies won last night and we’re going to the World Series again. Danny focused on the concert and got into the details of the game afterwards. He’s not sure how he got home though. He did kiss a girl that wasn’t Amy however. The first in three years.
6:20 – Danny takes some calls from the audience about what they did with the Phils won the game. Jeff was watching the mayhem at home, there was some craziness on Fox 29. Ray was in Center City and headed to the Northeast, only to get caught in the pandemonium. Because of Danny’s criminal record, is it worth flipping cars over and burning stuff? YES! Adam from South Philly saw people trying to set the greased street poles on fire. Danny has pole burns on his arms from yesterday’s stunt. Maybe Danny can climb up a flaming greased pole. 6:39 – SPORTS:
The Phils, ruthless in their quest to establish their own legacy, won their second consecutive National League pennant Wednesday. They trounced the Los Angeles Dodgers 10-4, advancing to the World Series and vowing to their hometown fans at Citizens Bank Park that they were not done. "We got one more step," manager Charlie Manuel shouted. "We're going to get 'em." The Phillies, winners of four of five games in the NL Championship Series, are vying to become the first NL team in 33 years to win back-to-back World Series championships. They will meet the winner of the New York Yankees-Los Angeles Angels American League Championship Series. "That's the only way you can really be considered great," Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins said. "Everybody knows about the Yankees and Boston and all of their great players. We want that here. "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.

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.

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."

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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.
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.

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?
7:13 – News:
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.
8:16 – Entertainment News:
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.”
7:09 – News with Shila
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.
9:21 – The girls from Christine’s Cabaret are in the studio to play The Naked Truth. The girls will say 3 facts, removing an article of clothing after saying each fact. When prompted, listeners will call in and whoever can recite those 3 facts first wins! This week’s prize is tickets to see the AC/DC concert from Danny’s suite, so all facts are AC/DC related.
Fact #1 – The first leader singer of AC/DC was Dave Evans.

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.

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.

Thanks to Facebook, two sisters who were separated at birth, will soon reunite. A Philadelphia woman, Vanessa Sabb, will be reunited with a sister she never knew existed. She said she has struggled with a certain loneliness her entire life. At a young age, her mother abandoned her. On September 29, Vanessa logged onto her new Facebook account and discovered her long lost sister, Betty Sabb Williams who is now living in South Carolina. Betty also lost contact with their mom, but unlike Vanessa, Betty knew she had a little sister out there somewhere. The big reunion for the sisters who are six years apart in age is set to take place today. Betty is on her way to Philadelphia where the sisters will physically meet for the first time ever.
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.

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.

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.

9:36 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.''

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

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.

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.

8:31 – Howard Eskin is on the show for his weekly Eagles chat. Howard likes the Eagles this week and the Bears are totally overrated. Jay Cutler is a turnover machine and Howard thinks he’s due for a pair of picks this weekend. He can’t afford to give the ball up that much on a team that doesn’t score often. For what the Bears gave up for him, they are not getting a good return on their investment. When Danny thinks about Bears quarterbacks, he thinks of Jim McMahon, who did all the right things to help a great team win the Superbowl. The Eagles have a chance to make the playoffs, the Bears don’t. The Birds do have to score touchdowns when they have the chance. Danny put a whopping $75 on the game, strap in! How are the Birds going to deal with all the injuries? In the NFL no team is ever out of it and a wildcard team can still get to the Superbowl. Eskin would like to see McNabb step up on the field. Last week he threw for a lot of worthless yards because the team lost. He’s not going to get the swine flu from getting into the end zone. He needs to punch it in when the ball is in the red zone. There are problems on the offensive line, but teams rush to eat up the clock when they’re up and pass to catch up from behind. Howard predicts a 24-13 Eagles win.

6:02 – Where’s the scary weather? Danny was prepared for gloom and doom this morning, but it’s nice out…for now. Danny had a morning full of answering e-mails, he’s becoming technically literate. There might be some misspelled words though. Danny and Amy started watching the Godfather trilogy last night. It spawned from Amy feeling left out of conversations about Vito Corleone. Amy interrupted the movie numerous times to use the bathroom, but Danny wrecked the movie for her when he wouldn’t stop repeating the film. The conversation hits a fork in the road when Metro announces his extreme dislike for the Rocky Horror Picture Show, a movie Danny enjoys and can quote too. Kelly, 25, calls to say she loves the Rocky Horror Picture Show having it seen it over 60 times. Danny used to get laid constantly when he’d go to late night showings of the movie. People dress up and bring props to throw at the screen while watching the movie, perhaps something that Metro never experienced. Matt calls to say his favorite quotable movie is the original Lethal Weapon. Chris’s favorite is The Warriors. Can you dig it? Tom’s favorite is History of the World Part 1. Alex calls to say that Cool Hand Luke is the one. Great movie. Dave wants a list of mandatory man movies from Danny. James brings up Blazing Saddles.

Danny has a certain level of self destruction insanity, but Tommy operates on another level. Danny’s no stranger to the Singapore cane, a weapon that Tommy was on the receiving end of 10 times at the hands of the Sandman. It’s the event that put Tommy on the map in hardcore wrestling. It happened at the ECW Arena in South Philly long ago. Tommy’s broken 16 fingers, his neck, his back, suffered 13 concussions, torn muscles, been lit on fire, and never had to go through surgery for any of it. There is no way to fake getting hit with a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire. Usually when Tommy brings a weapon out to the ring he’s the one getting hit with it. As a boy Tommy went to a WWE event and touched hands with Bob Backlund, which was a life changing event. Now he looks for that little boy in the crowd to pass the torch to. Tommy takes a call asking if Paul Heyman should be brought back to run ECW. So much of the old ECW was illegal, like music licensing, but waking up covered in blood isn’t something he misses. There are still the extreme rules matches, but now the wrestlers are able to make it to the ring the next week. Danny’s interested in doing something fun to make some noise on the air. A chop? Bashing a guitar over Danny’s head?

7:51 – The voice of the Eagles, Merrill Reese, is on the show to talk about yesterday’s game against the Chargers. An inability to get the ball in the end zone and settling for field goals was the major story for the Birds. They got points when they got to the red zone, but not the touchdowns they needed. The Eagles were able to get it back to a 5 point game though. They burned through their timeouts too quickly though. What’s the problem with the short yardage game? The offensive line. They’re the guys who can thrust forward and give the running back the chance to get the crucial yard. Merrill would rather have a great offensive line and an average quarterback than an average line and great quarterback. Will Donovan be the quarterback for the Eagles next year? The league is full of mediocrity this year, the Birds could still win the division. Merrill likes Donovan’s talents and hopes he plays in Philly for a long time to come. What about Westbrook’s concussion? Having two so closely together doesn’t bode well for the rest of his year. Merrill thinks it’ll be a month until we see #36 back on the field. Danny thinks that if Westbrook suffers a third concussion this year then he’ll have to hang up the cleats for good.

A Spider-Man impersonator was arrested on outstanding criminal warrants Wednesday after an incident in which he allegedly slugged a man near the Hollywood & Highland complex, police said. It was not immediately clear what led to the altercation, which was reported about 12:30 p.m. in the 6800 block of Hollywood Boulevard. But it's the latest in a string of incidents involving movie characters and celebrity look-alikes who vie for space -- and attention -- along the tourist-filled corridor that includes Grauman's Chinese Theatre. Christopher Loomis, 39, was being held on outstanding misdemeanor warrants in lieu of $5,500 bail, police said. The incident began when Los Angeles Police Department patrol officers received a radio call reporting battery by a man in a Spider-Man costume. When they arrived, they encountered four people dressed as the web-slinging crusader. "They stopped one, it wasn't him," said LAPD Lt. Beverly Lewis. "They stopped the second, and it was the suspect." The victim, who said he had been hit on the face and arms, refused to press charges against the costumed impersonator. But Lewis said that when they discovered the warrants, Loomis was booked. She said it appeared that the suspect and victim knew each other. That’s right across from Danny’s house in Los Angeles. Danny wants to know if Metro can come over for Spider-Man dinner. What is Spider-Man dinner? Danny won’t say, but there is something on the counter in his kitchen marked ‘Do Not Eat, For Metro.’

8:30 – It’s time to talk Eagles football with Howard Eskin! The Birds are looking pretty banged up going to San Diego, but Howard thinks they stand a good chance at a win. The Chargers are coming off a win against the Giants and might be looking ahead to Denver next week, so they might not focus on Sunday. The betting line has been driven down, so there has to be a reason that the smart betters are taking the Eagles in this game. Howard thinks that professional athletes have lulls because it’s hard to put the same, high intensity focus on every game for 16 weeks. For the Eagles to win the defense has to pressure Philip Rivers. The Eagles offensive line has to play better. How will the Eagles deal with another trip to California after losing to the Raiders? The Eagles took Oakland for granted and won’t do the same with the Chargers this Sunday. Westbrook should play, but he’s not the same Westbrook we’ve come to expect on the field. Howard thinks that a change at quarterback needs to happen if McNabb can’t get the team to the Superbowl soon. Making a change at coach and quarterback in the same year can be devastating to a team though. Howard points out the lack of comeback wins for McNabb.

Ed is a Philly boy, having watched Wilt Chamberlain play in the city as a kid, is proud to help out too. He’s looking for organizations to help and get underprivileged people to the games. Danny likes that Ed is here to talk about what the Sixers can do for the city, rather than what the city can do for the Sixers. What the vibe of the team this early in the season with new coach Eddie George? There are some new players and guys coming back from injuries, so it’ll take some time for Eddie’s influence to be felt with the up tempo offense. Ed thinks that Elton Brand will come back strong from almost two years off the court.

Nope, but if he does he’ll be sure to get a studded neck brace. Rob’s all metal all the time, even during Christmas. Rob’s vocal range is incredible. He can even hit a high C, but has to wear his tightest pants to do it. The only High C Danny could hit is a can of juice. One guy Rob would love to meet is David Bowie, who did a few Christmas songs with Bing Crosby, a great rock moment.

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.

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 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.

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.

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. 
6:18 – Danny is here! Late twice in a week is out of character for Danny. Traditionally he doesn’t like to use an illness as an excuse. Some body cleanses work a little too well. After some digestive issues Danny wanted to clear out his system. After clearing out his system there have been some emotional moments on the toilet. 
7:10 – Danny stayed up late last night hanging out with Amy and Farrah from Rock of Love. She has a history of making out with other girls after some drinks. 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.’

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. 
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.
