First show. Jason tried to avoid eating the mic and left the volume a little short at the beginning of the show.

Highlights included insulting Frank DeFord, describing The Ladies Man as weaker than a bourbon and coke in a Mormon coke factory, and an interview with fellow dj, Jevonne (Vixen). During the interview Jevonne said she was going to a Casino/Karaoke Night where the money isn't real. Jason replied, "And the singing isn't either." Although no one could see it through the radio, Jevonne seemed thoroughly disappointed.

Playlist:
Stevie Wonder - Dont you worry bout a thing
Beatles - A day in the life
Talking Heads - Psycho killer
Elton John - Bennie and the jets
Bob Dylan - Bob Dylan's 115th dream
Bob Dylan - Its alright ma, Im only bleeding

*Note: The Music was somewhat limited since some songs had not been downloaded to the music box.
This was one of the reasons that Elton John was played.
