DJs

Pete and I were driving up to Boston on Thursday. He was going to the Red Sox game, and I just wanted to go hang out Lisa, Andy, and Dan. We left around 4:30 and we hit some pretty bad traffic on 90. I decided to take 90 so I could drop Pete closer to Fenway Park, but it would have probably been faster to Route 9.

So, as we’re stuck in traffic on 90, we flipped on the radio because my iPod transmitter sucks balls (but thank you, Andy, for replacing it when mine was stolen from my car). We were listening to some evening show on WBCN, and they were slamming Sara Palin because “she can see Russia from her house” among other things. They were on this tirade for about 10 minutes before they went to “Times Like These” by the Foo Fighters.

As the song was playing, Pete and I were discussing Sara Palin and how we think she is a crazy conservative hockey mom, she is really dumb, and how John McCain is hiding her from the press. The Foo Fighters song ended and the DJs started taking callers. The caller asked, “When did it become ok, I mean you guys do it, but everyone does it too, but when did it become ok for DJs to just talk over the beginning of the song?”

There were about 15 seconds of complete silence.

One of the Djs said, “Dude, you totally just blew our minds.”
