The Hideout - 2005-08-31 Wed

The Hideout crew navigates a chaotic broadcast centered on public panic surrounding gas shortages and the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. El Jefe and J-Dubs spend the hour lambasting listeners for "buying the hype" and falling for internet rumors, while producer Tommy Bateman unveils his "huge" announcement: a satirical run for President of the United States in 2006. The show also features an in-studio visit from hypnotist Don Friedman, who attempts to influence the staff and guests, leading to bizarre segments involving roaches, alleged reverse racism, and a tense, argumentative atmosphere. 00:00:00 - Show intro and gas panic discussion 00:04:24 - Listener calls on gas and media bias 00:44:07 - Tommy Bateman’s presidential announcement 00:54:58 - Hypnosis setup and staff conflict 01:12:15 - Putin’s rant and news headlines 01:34:28 - Putin walks out; Lefty arrives 01:58:31 - Hypnosis results and "roach" incident 02:31:26 - Final hypnosis bits and show sign-off Visit https://thehideoutradioarchives.com
