The weather forecast Paul Talbot had been reading half the morning said it was cloudy and rainy. Neither of which it was, so he changed the forecast.
And things must've been a bit lax at KZZP's promotional department over the Thanksgiving weekend. First John was playing a commercial at every break for Alpha Beta grocery stores that they'd be open on Thanksgiving (which was four days earlier,) and then this!

With the help of Iron Butterfly, John reads an ad for Cheeks male strippers.
I first heard this in 1999 and ever since something has bugged the bejeezus out of me. WHAT IS THAT SONG JOHN PLAYS AT THE END?!? I'm not talking about the Iron Butterfly song. I mean the one he plays after the bit, and fades out. It's been driving me nuts all this time. It's one of those songs I forgot all about, but used to know what it was. And now, for the life of me I CAN'T BRING IT BACK TO MY HEAD TO IDENTIFY IT!!!
I'll give a million dollars to anyone who can tell me the title and artist**

John made a bet with the morning guy at KZZP's Tucson sister station KRQQ, that Tempe's Arizona State University Sun Devils would beat Tucson's University of Arizona Wildcats in the annual Friday-after-Thanksgiving football game. Tucson lost, and one Loon makes a disturbing, and disgusting suggestion for how the KRQQ guy should make good on the bet.
Truck Robinson played for the Phoenix Suns at the time.

In bit one John has some fun with drops (sound bites inserted for comedic purposes.)

In November 1981 Brandmeier sent the Ayatollah Granola to New York to audition
for Bryant Gumbel's spot at NBC's NFL Today. He told him the best way to get the attention of the talent agents was
to lie in the middle of the sidewalk, or on a subway platform,
in full Iranian robes, with a hundred dollar bill on his forehead.
"That means," Brandmeier told him, "You're a big
spender, and your real relaxed, and you'll be relaxed on TV."
Van Buren was a sleazy hooker-laden street in downtown Phoenix. They may have cleaned it up since 1981.

The Cha-Cha Line was not a regular thing. It's just John being silly. And for one Loon, a chance to swear on the radio.
