Episode 031 | August 4, 2026 – I Bought My Own Radio Show Yesterday, D.B. shared how he discovered his love for broadcasting. Today, he tells the unbelievable story of what happened after broadcasting school—when nobody would hire him, so he decided to create his own opportunity. On this episode: The lengths D.B. went to in hopes of landing his first radio job. The Christmas tree stunt that didn't go quite as planned. Why buying two hours of airtime every week changed everything. The origins of Wild Bill and Durr the Intern. How one unforgettable stunt involving a garden hose caught the attention of DJs at a major Philadelphia radio station. Behind-the-scenes stories from D.B.'s earliest days on the radio. The surprising chain of events that would eventually lead to the creation of D.B. & Ted decades later. Sometimes the biggest opportunities don't come from getting hired—they come from betting on yourself. 🎵 Soundtrack of This Chapter Every great story has a soundtrack. As D.B. shares The Radio Years, he'll also share the songs that instantly take him back to each chapter of his life. This Chapter's Song No Doubt – "Hella Good" This wasn't just another hit song from 2003—it became part of one of the most unforgettable nights of my early radio career. During one of our crazy radio stunts, Durr the Intern stood outside while Wild Bill and I blasted him with a garden hose. As soaked as he was, Durr kept singing along to the songs we were playing, and "Hella Good" was one of them. That stunt would eventually catch the attention of DJs at a major Philadelphia radio station and become one of the moments that helped open the next door in my career. Now, every time I hear "Hella Good," I'm instantly transported back to those early days when it was just D.B., Wild Bill, and Durr the Intern trying to make people laugh and prove we belonged on the radio. ▶️ Watch the music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtTj4cramPM This is Part Two of D.B.'s radio journey.
