FIRST SEGMENT OF KJR RADIO, NOV 17, 2003
Yes, I was awake well before 5:30am partly because I'm nuts and also because I had a big outline to do in preparation for a test.
Stretch and Sandmeyer are on the air and Mitch isn't there yet. He gets in late, but that's because he didn't know about the road work closure at 4th Ave by the Safe, so he had a hell of a time getting to work, having to take I-5 South and trying to hang a right and shoot north, probably around industrial Seattle.
So Mitch gets in, and suddenly there's champagne pouring at the studio on Elliott Avenue at 6am. Why? Mitch promised himself that if the Chiefs lost Sunday, he would bring in the cheapest bottle of champagne he could find and celebrate...a la the 1972 Miami Dolphins, the last undefeated team in the NFL. Sandmeyer was Larry Csonka, Stretch was Bob Griese, and Mitch was Nick Buoniconti, and the three celebrated with lame bottle of Korbel champagne bought from a Rite-Aid in Factoria; a playful joke on what really is a joke in the actual celebration that the 1972 Dolphins really do get together and have every season when the least undefeated team bites it. Wonder if anyone ratted these guys out to the FCC...
