Elvis Duran Headed To Richmond!

Before coming to DC101 in 1999, Elliot was one-half of the Elvis and Elliot and the Z Morning Zoo on Z100 in New York City.

Ten years later, Elvis Duran has his own show in NYC and will now be heard on Richmond's "Q94" starting Monday, May 4th. Dirt Woman, who do they hate?

Melissa & Sid was scratched during today's cuts, so Melissa Chase (who has done voice work for Flounder's MashUps) is moving to afternoons, while Elvis Duran and The Morning Show will be heard from 6-10am, going up against Elliot In The Morning in Richmond.

This move will mark Duran's sixth station, along with New York, Philadelphia, Miami, Cleveland, and Dayton. And yes, this means that Elliot's friend "Gay Greg" will be heard in Richmond as well!

Shock Gone From DC101!

Thankfully, Elliot and The Class managed to survive another round of cuts as today as Clear Channel eliminated 590 positions...

One of those let go in DC was commercial production guy, Rick "Shock" Shockey.

It's no secret that Shock and Flounder never got along, especially since Flounder and Whitney threw his coffee pot off the 5th floor balcony back in November 2008. [VIDEO]

Also, part-time engineer Ed Cole was given his pink slip. You'll recall, Ed was the guy who expensed everything from his trip to Dubai with Elliot. Can't wait to hear the show Wednesday morning!

Update:
Jerry was also let go...

Does anybody know where they were from???

No EITM Easter Keg Hunt This Year!

Tomorrow is just a Good Friday and not a Great Friday...

For years, the Easter Keg Hunt has become a tradition for EITM fans in and around DC and Richmond. Sadly, Baltimore had to come along and fuck everything up for the rest of us...

Well, Elliot didn't exactly phrase it that way, but you know we're all thinking it! In order for the event to happen, Elliot wanted all three areas to be included. This would have been Baltimore's first year in the hunt since joining the network back in May 2008 with Channel 104.3.

"They weren't able to get that done," Elliot said. It seems the sales staffs had contacts in DC and Richmond, but had zero affiliation with Baltimore. "Which sucks, because that means I won't have company waiting for me outside of my house when I wake up in the morning," Elliot joked.

So farewell to inappropriate team names, to getting up at 2am to hide Easter Kegs, to searching for Easter Kegs, to the Easter Keg Redemption Party and most of all...to the Golden Easter Keg.



Team DC Sportbikes responds in an email to EITMfans:

I know you've mentioned us once or twice in previous posts, and no doubt have heard about the cancellation of this years Keg Hunt. Just know that Team DC Sportbikes is deeply saddened by the turn of events. We were more prepared than ever before, and even the EITM class knows how involved we are. When they were talking about the cancellation this morning, Elliot said he's most sad he wont be waking up to strangers outside his house, in which Diane replied with "I know team DC Sportbikes is pissed". Look for us next year, and in bigger numbers!

Everyone is obviously bummed, but look on the bright side...Elliot has vowed to have the Easter Keg Hunt next year, come hell or high water!

Goodbye Hardcourts, Hello Clay

The hardcourt season is over and attention now turns to clay. The clay season is always a highlight of the year and as usual will culminate with the French Open. Despite there being great claycourt tournaments in Rome, Hamburg, Monte Carlo and Madrid everyone is already thinking about the French Open 2009.

Rafael Nadal is obviously the huge favorite and the one all tennis betting is looking at to win again. The difference this year is that Roger Federer may not be his main adversary. Andy Murray is in simply scintillating form. He has beaten Nadal recently but does he have the game to topple him on clay? How will Federer feel is it is Murray and not him who is the one to do it? Federer didn’t have a good hardcourt season and so ironically will be looking towards the clay for respite. He doesn’t have the game he did in years gone by and opponents don’t seem to be as intimidated as they once were.

On the ladies' side, will it again be a case of the Wiliams sisters against the rest? Ana Ivanovic looks absolutely no chance to defend her title. You wouldn’t play a tennis bet on her with somebody else’s money! Victoria Azarenko did well in winning in the Sony Ericsson Open. Can this translate into Grand Slam success? Dinara Safina made her name at last year's French Open - can she repeat those heroics? Will be fascinating to watch.

Hefty Charge For Cook-Off Tickets!

Anyone who has bought tickets from Ticketmaster knows that there is always that pesky service charge added to your ticket price...

So when DC101 Chili Cook-Off tickets went on sale last Friday for $35, no one expected that they would be paying $11.95 for a "Convenience Charge" per ticket.

Elliot said he got into it with management about the misconception that buying tickets before the event is a savings...

So just to recap, if you buy your DC101 Chili Cook-Off tickets online from Ticketmaster expect to pay: $35 per ticket, plus a $11.95 Convenience Charge. Which brings your total to...

A whopping $46.95 per ticket! That's not including any additional taxes and optional shipping charges. In some cases it seems like paying $50 at the gate the day of would actually be cheaper!

Meat Loaf on EITM!

Meat Loaf checked in with Elliot and Diane this morning to talk about his guest appearance tonight on Fox medical drama House...



Was it just me or did he seem a little scatter-brained?

Maybe he really was in Arlington and just didn't know it!

I hear hotels are cheaper there...

Nevertheless, he gave Tyler a new Poofter-ish drop to play.

"I Know What Band It Is!"

Okay, so "I" don't know what band sings Diane's most hated song, but Kyle does!

During a discussion about Saturday's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction, a caller asked Diane if the band that sings her most hated song was in the Hall of Fame...

To refresh your memory, Diane has this one song that she just can't stand, so much so, she's kept it a secret for nearly ten years. Why so long? Because Elliot and Tyler would torture her with it every day. Knowing Elliot, he would find the instrumental and make it the new "Diane's Dirt" theme music...

So when Diane was unsure of the answer she made the grave mistake of looking it up on her computer. Even though she turned her monitor away, Kyle still managed to catch a glimpse. How rude!

Elliot: Kyle...Come on, Don't! Don't! (Laughing)

Diane: Oh, you dick! Did you just see?

Kyle: I know what band it is!

Click here to listen to the entire discussion where Diane gives away one of her most kept secrets. So what band do you think it is?

Draw for 2009 Golden Slipper Done

Buildup for the 2009 Golden Slipper horse racing festival was increased a few notches after the draw was conducted for the big race. Delago Bolt received a boost in Golden Slipper betting after it received an inside barrier. Delago Bolt will be ridden by Chris Munce who won the Golden Slipper previously in 1998 and 2004.

Historically the inside barriers have had the most success at the Golden Slipper and this may again hold true, especially if the wet weather which is forecast for the weekend comes.

Real Saga and More Joyous were two of the favorites in Golden Slipper betting, but this may not be the case by race time after they both drew outside barriers. Real Saga is to make Golden Slipper history if it gets up. No horse has even won the Golden Slipper from Barrier 13. After it was drawn to start in Barrier 12, More Joyous’ odds began to drift immediately following the draw and as punters desert it, it looks as they will do so even more in the next few days.

Reward for Effort drew barrier three and was the best backed horse following the draw. Someone placed a $150,000 on the horse with saw it firm in Golden Slipper betting from 11 to 10.

Flounder Turns 30!!!

Happy 30th Birthday to Flounder...
