Swisher's Radio Show

(I haven't seen this in any other diaries or in the game thread, so here goes nothing.)

I assume most of us are familiar with the "Rookie Report", a radio segment that Buan did with Swish last year. During today's broadcast (6th inning?) they asked for suggestions for what to name the show this year, seeing as Swish is no longer a rookie, and the sophomore slump show may have great alliteration, but not a very nice ring.

ideas need to be sent to radio@oaklandathletics.com, they didn't say anything about a prize.

I couldn't help myself, so I already sent in two suggestions that are destined to be rejected:

  • Putting It Bluntly with Nick Swisher
  • The Blunt Truth with Nick Swisher
  • I think they're pretty funny seeing as Swish is known for being pretty blunt, and, well, his name is Swisher. <hides in smoke filled closet, or squints proudly behind sunglasses, depending on reaction>

Anyway, I think my suggestions have no chance (although they probably have at least as good a chance as Nick's Porn Corner), but I think that as a team AN is more than capable of coming up with a great name, and that it would be great for the show to be named by AN. So let the games begin!

I'm all suggestioned out, but I suspect that there's huge potential to get the Pound in the mix, seeing as Nick is projected to spend a lot of time there this year.

My suggestion
I sent an email suggesting the show be called "At the Dish with Swish".

Lame? Why yes I am.

Ice Cream
I was eating at Bravo's yesterday for lunch, I was going to order ice cream for desert but figured ice cream and beer don't mix and I didn't have any Tums. Heiniken float anyone??

Will someone tell me if anyone from AN wins the contest? I do not get A's radio here in Hawaii, from what I hear, you can't get A's radio in Oakland....

Let's do a weekly pair up with Swisher and another A; like imagine Swisher and Bradley talking.. restaurants? I would go out of my way to listen to this. BTW, when are the A's going to have podcasts?

Unfortunately,
at this point in KYCY's existence, perhaps the most appropriate title would be "Swisher Static".
