The Story Of When KROQ Came To My House
Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010I have been a fan of KROQ for a long time. I almost always listen to the Kevin & Bean morning show every morning. Well, back in 2008 they did a bit where Dave the king of Mexico had to go to people’s houses and perform various odd jobs. The purpose of these jobs was for DKOM to earn money to pay back Kevin some money he owed him from a sports bet. I believe they bet on a Lakers and Clippers game. Well, they started accepting calls from people who had work and I tried to call in.
I have always had this old hot tub in my back yard that I wanted to get rid of but it is too big to fit through the side of the house. So I called in that morning and got through. At first I thought they were kidding about the whole thing but when I talked to the producer Alex she said they were serious. I told them I had a hot tub that I needed chainsawed into pieces. I think the word chainsaw is what got their attention in order for them to take my call.
Well, we ended scheduling for them to come to my house the next morning at 8AM. It was on Wednesday, so I had to take the day off from work.
So 8AM rolls around and they gave me a confirmation call and told me they were going to show up at 8AM. They show and Dave and Lightning come to the door. I showed them the hot tub and they briefed me on how they wanted to do the bit. They brought various tools for the job. Some were there for entertainment. For example, it would be really hard to cut up a fiber glass hot tub with an axe. In the middle of the video they setup an on-air call with Kevin and Bean.

They did make a video of the whole thing and posted it at KROQ but I can’t find it. I will try to get the link and update this post when I have it.
