Dr. Blogstein and Dangerous Lee sit down with 80’s sitcom royalty when Marc Price, better known as “Skippy” from Family Ties, visits the Radio Happy Hour.

We’ll find out what Marc has been up to in the nearly 20 years since his show’s finale, whether Marc had better luck with Justine Bateman than his character had with Mallory Keaton and if Alex P. Keaton will be the Republican nominee for the presidential election. Plus, we’ll learn about his latest project, iJoke.tv and how will it change the future of comedy.

Tune in because some lucky listeners will win valuable Skippy themed prizes!

Also, Dr. Mark and Professor Val from BlogTalkRadio’s “Naked Soma” are tired of hearing Dr. B fly off the handle the moment something goes wrong. They’ve volunteered to call in and help Dr. B calm down and deal with stress in a more healthy manner. Over/Under on Dr. Mark and Professor Val being hung up on: 7 minutes.

All that, plus, Supreme Commander of the Cyberwaves Vinny Bond drags his Big Leather Couch into the Radio Happy Hour Lounge and chats live with the listeners, Justin the Weatherman stops in with a forecast and your calls at 646-652-4804

Bonnie “Eyez” Mercado is a model/actress who is best known as “the spy” on VH1’s Flavor of Love 2. She’ll join Dr. B and Dangerous Lee on the internet’s fastest growing radio show.

Why did Flavor Flav choose Bonnie to infiltrate the girls and sort out which ones were only out for the rapper’s cash? Why did Bonnie accept this mission? What, if anything, has this done for her career? Those hard-hitting questions and several softer ones to be lobbed her way.

Also this week, Brian Nuestro will be spending New Year’s Eve weekend in Las Vegas competing in the World Series of Beer Pong. We’ll get a sense of his training regiment, his hopes for winning the $50,000 prize and offer him last minute tips.

Basketball Hall of Famer Rick Barry dribbles his way into the Radio Happy Hour.

Barry, named to the exclusive list of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History, is as outspoken and controversial as he is a talented basketball player. We’ll talk hoops and underhanded free throws with this sports legend.

Also, Alex Boylan, winner of CBS’s The Amazing Race II, will call in from somewhere in South America to discuss his latest adventure. Evidently, winning a race around the world was not challenging enough for him, now Alex is attempting to make it around the world for free!

Alex left New York from CBS’s “The Early Show” on September 18 in an attempt to travel the world with no credit cards or cash, bringing along lone cameraman Zsolt Luka to document the unprecedented journey for the unique travel/reality web series “Around The World For Free.” Alex is relying on the web community at www.aroundtheworldforfree.com to set his itinerary and guide him around the world for free.

All that plus, Jane returns as co-host, SUPREME COMMANDER OF THE CYBERWAVES Vinny Bond drags his Big Leather Couch into the Radio Happy Hour Lounge and chats live with the listeners, your calls at 646-652-4804, and one lucky caller will play a rousing game of “NAME OR DRUG” for a chance to win fabulous prizes.

Sopranos Swan Song

Monday, June 11th, 2007

Who else thought their cable went out last night?

I may be in the minority, but I’m satisfied with the way The Sopranos ended. Its probably the only way that I’d have been satisfied.

Imagine how depressing it would have been if the whole family was shot down in that diner as the final scene. You say you want a bloodbath, but you really didn’t want that.

What if the final scene was Tony waking up, going outside, and picking up the newspaper. Only this time, he’s picking up the El Paso Times and waving hello when his neighbor asks, “How ya doin’ Gary?” Eh, cheesy.

Or worse yet, what if they used the most tired season finale device ever–it was all a dream.

There was no way to make everyone happy with an ending. I think the only way for them not to disappoint is for them not to have ended it. I like how the characters live on. We met them in the middle of their lives and we leave them in the middle of their lives.

I didn’t hate it.

Coming up this week on DR. BLOGSTEIN’S RADIO HAPPY HOUR: (Live on Tuesday May 8th at 9PM ET and forever archived at BlogTalkRadio.)

Dr. Blogstein and Jane will welcome in two famous voices: One you’ve heard plenty of but probably aren’t even aware of it and one that you may not have heard yet, but will be hearing a lot of soon.

First, Robbie Rist. Who? Robbie Rist. Who? ROBBIE RIST! He may be best known as the six-year-old blamed for ruining The Brady Bunch when he joined the cast as Cousin Oliver in the last season of the program, but he’s done so much more. He’s an accomplished musician who has performed with hundreds of bands, he’s been a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, he’s voiced over dozens of cartoons and video games and even produced a Rock & Roll slasher flick named “Stump The Band.”

Also, hot, young, up and coming pop star, Samantha Falk will call in and give us a taste of her sizzling music that’s about to hit radio airwaves. We’ll find out when we can expect an album, if she’s dating anyone famous, and maybe she’ll sing a few bars for us. And did I mention she was hot?

All that plus, how our man Datres is involved in a Florida teacher sex scandal and your phone calls at 646-652-4804.

Join us live every Tuesday night at 9PM ET. And if you miss us then, we’re ALWAYS ON at BlogTalkRadio and our Radio Happy Hour affiliates found in the right sidebar. We report AND decide. You just sit there and listen.

Who the hell cares where Matt Lauer is?!?

Thursday, May 3rd, 2007

After careful consideration of the all the candidates, I, Dr. Blogstein, am ready to throw my support behind a morning news program.

After nearly 15 years as a loyal viewer of NBC’s Today, I am forced to jump ship and am now proud to endorse American Morning on CNN. Forced by the utter nonsense that Today tries to pass off as news.

It used to be that I can at least count on hard-hitting news, stories and interviews for the entire first hour of the program, from 7-8. Now, Anna Nicole stories, American Idol analysis and fashion and relationship segments have seeped in as early as 7:15! That, combined with the Ann Curry’s awkward interview style and painful “off the cuff” chatter and Al Roker’s insufferable shtick have launched me into the welcoming arms of Kiran Chetry and John Roberts.

CNN’s American Morning was really the only viable option when searching for a replacement for Today. Good Morning America was nixed. I’ve never been a real fan of Diane Sawyer, I find her bland, and I can’t take Robin Roberts seriously as I’ll always think of her as a SportsCenter anchor.

I don’t get the CBS Early Show. I mean, obviously I get it, it shows up on channel 2–I just can’t tell who the anchors are, seems like there are dozens of them. Plus Julie Chen, one of those anchors, is married to the president of CBS and that just rubs me the wrong way.

There’s too much cackling on Fox & Friends. Not only that, but I’m convinced that the show only exists to provide a platform for its hosts to plug all the books they’ve written. It’s like a two-hour-long commercial with that crew!

So, that leads me to CNN’s American Morning. Now, I wake up to news. I find out what happened while I was asleep and what may be happening that day. They have interesting interviews about important topics with intelligent news anchors. It’s exactly what I have been longing for oh so long. It’s exactly what Today used to be.

Mickey Mantle: Jerk or Evolved Soul? Bestselling sportswriter Peter Golenbock will join Dr. B and Jane to discuss this very issue. Golenbock’s new book, 7: The Mickey Mantle Novel, started a firestorm of controversy for suggesting, among other things, that Mantle had an affair with Marilyn Monroe and that he was sexually abused as a child.

Golenbock was also responsible for bringing celebrity book publisher Judith Regan to her knees (or was that Bernard Kerik?), leading to her firing late last year.

Also, Indian-American (not to be confused with American-Indian) blogger Santosh Hari will stop by to discuss the growing importance of Indian culture and Bollywood in American entertainment–heck, who are we kidding? He’s coming on to talk about American Idol’s Sanjaya.

All that, plus more Vinny Bond from his Big (Black) Leather Couch and of course, your calls at 646-652-4804.

Join us every Tuesday night at 9PM ET. And if you miss us then, we’re forever archived at BlogTalkRadio. Listen to every second because you never know when something memorable will go down.
