Dangerman Dave went down the hall with the wireless mic. The Blazer Cafe was closed.

Former star of ventriloquism karaoke and current co-host of The Famous Ashtray, Hank Lazard, admitted that he had no idea the radio station was located on the UAB campus or on any college campus for that matter. When pressed for an explanation of his ignorance, he stated that he thought the station was in a mini mall because of the Hot Sam on the third floor. Presence of a Hot Sam on the third floor of the student center could be neither confirmed nor refuted.

Hank changed Joe Besser's catch phrase from "crazy" to the slightly more controversial, "That's one crazy meatball."
