Sherry wants the points.

Unfortunately, getting both of those things at the same time turns out to be considerably more complicated than it should be.

With Ted caught somewhere in the middle, a simple fast-food run turns into a debate over saving money, promo codes, warehouse clubs, buying things you don't actually need...

and exactly how much ketchup is too much ketchup.

What could possibly go wrong?

Apparently... quite a bit.

Before long, D.B. is in danger of being kicked off his own podcast, Sherry is discovering her devilish side, Ted is coordinating his socks with his social calendar, and somehow the three of them stumble onto what may be their greatest business idea yet.

Welcome to Fancy Burger.

We're pretty sure this is a terrible idea.

This time, they read Episode 070’s review live. That turns into a show-within-a-show, a debate over whether feeding the results back to ChatGPT could break it, and an attempt to predict the future. Then Ted’s connection drops at exactly the wrong moment.

Listen to Episode 071 and catch up on the show at dbnycepodcast.com.

But getting there meant learning an uncomfortable lesson—sometimes being good at your job isn’t enough. Sometimes you have to campaign for yourself, win people over, and convince the right people that you deserve the opportunity.

Then came the moment D.B. had been waiting for: saying “D.B. Nyce in the Morning” for the first time.

In this chapter of the Radio Journey, D.B. looks back at finally becoming a morning-show host on Fly 92.1, being recognized by listeners in some unexpected places, and realizing that the biggest reward wasn’t feeling like a celebrity—it was discovering that something he did actually mattered to somebody listening.

And years later, that same feeling is part of what keeps this podcast going.

Turkey belongs in November.

Eggnog belongs at Christmas.

Pumpkin belongs in the fall.

And according to D.B., violating these rules may potentially rip a hole in the space-time continuum.

Today, D.B. and Ted attempt to understand why certain foods just feel wrong at certain times of year—and stumble onto a much more important question:

Why doesn't Christmas have its own leftover sandwich?

Also, Ted attempts an experiment involving ChatGPT.

Nice try, Ted.

Radio.

Every new station, every new city and every opportunity was another step toward the career he'd imagined for himself.

But somewhere along the way, something changed.

After spending the last several weeks telling the Radio Journey—and looking back at more than 20 years behind a microphone—D.B. has started asking himself a different question:

What does he actually want now?

The answer might explain why this podcast exists in the first place.

🎙️ Episode 062 | I Don't Want to Be Radio Famous Anymore

Because for months, people around Delmarva have been approaching him with essentially the same question:

“Wait... is that YOU?”

Yes.

It is.

But there's a perfectly reasonable explanation for what you're seeing on television.

Well...

Reasonable might be pushing it.

Today, D.B. finally tells the story behind one of the strangest television appearances of his career—and why it took him nearly a year to actually see it himself.

🎙️ Episode 063 | Yes, That's Me in the Shower

Listen at dbnycepodcast.com.

Hurricane Katrina changed everything—including D.B.'s future at 107.1 The Monkey.

With the Gulf Coast struggling to recover and possible layoffs looming at the radio station, D.B.'s boss gave him some unexpected advice: if another opportunity came along, take it.

So D.B. started making calls.

Thanks to a radio friend he'd never even met in person, two opportunities suddenly appeared inside the same building in Florida—and both stations wanted D.B.

On this episode:

• Why Hurricane Katrina forced D.B. to start looking for another radio job.

• The career advice D.B. still believes today: never burn bridges.

• How an online community of radio personalities helped shape D.B.'s career.

• The man D.B. had never met who helped him land his next opportunity.

• Why two program directors in the same building were competing to hire him.

• Choosing nights on Fly 92.1 in Fort Walton Beach, Florida.

• The emotional final broadcast on 107.1 The Monkey.

• Why leaving Biloxi made D.B. feel like he was abandoning the people he'd spent months talking to after Katrina.

• The final song D.B. played before leaving Mississippi.

• Driving into Florida and realizing almost immediately that he'd made the right decision.

• And another temporary hotel stay while D.B. desperately searched for somewhere to live.

Biloxi had become much more than another radio job. It changed D.B.'s career, his relationships, and his understanding of what being a local radio personality could mean.

But eventually, it was time to move on.

And once again, Kelly Clarkson somehow ended up providing the soundtrack.

Next episode: A tragedy at the radio station unexpectedly helps D.B. solve his biggest problem in Florida.

The station isn't what he expected. The equipment feels outdated. Listeners don't want to give the "new guy" a chance. And before long, he's wondering if he should turn around and head back to New Jersey.

On this episode:

• Taking over for the popular night host known as Danger Boy.
• Winning over listeners who didn't want anyone replacing their favorite DJ.
• The shock of walking into a studio that felt like a major step backward.
• The conversation with Vinnie that almost ended the Biloxi adventure before it truly began.

• Meeting new coworkers, including Dan and a future friend known as Fat Guy.

• Learning one of the most important career lessons of all: not every battle is worth fighting.

Sometimes the biggest victories come from simply refusing to quit when everything feels wrong.

• Behind-the-scenes stories from D.B.'s earliest days on the radio.
• The surprising chain of events that would eventually lead to the creation of D.B. & Ted decades later.

Sometimes the biggest opportunities don't come from getting hired—they come from betting on yourself.

Every great story has a soundtrack.

As D.B. shares The Radio Years, he'll also share the songs that instantly take him back to each chapter of his life.

No Doubt – "Hella Good"

This wasn't just another hit song from 2003—it became part of one of the most unforgettable nights of my early radio career.

During one of our crazy radio stunts, Durr the Intern stood outside while Wild Bill and I blasted him with a garden hose. As soaked as he was, Durr kept singing along to the songs we were playing, and "Hella Good" was one of them.

That stunt would eventually catch the attention of DJs at a major Philadelphia radio station and become one of the moments that helped open the next door in my career.

Now, every time I hear "Hella Good," I'm instantly transported back to those early days when it was just D.B., Wild Bill, and Durr the Intern trying to make people laugh and prove we belonged on the radio.

D.B. jumps on for a quick update after a couple of unexpected days away from the daily show.

A studio revamp came together faster than expected, which meant furniture was moved, equipment had to be rearranged and, for a little while, there wasn't much of a studio to record from.

The good news?

The studio is functional again, and new episodes are coming back.

Thanks for hanging in there during the unexpected break. D.B. also explains why he's learning that having a few episodes recorded in advance might not be such a bad idea when you're producing a daily podcast.

This is not a regular episode of The D.B. Nyce Podcast and does not continue the Radio Journey. It's simply a quick update to let you know what's happening behind the scenes.

Angry that radio had taken him hundreds of miles from home. Angry about the moments he'd missed. And convinced that chasing his dream had cost him something he could never get back.

He was ready to quit.

But over the next several weeks, a series of moments began to change the way D.B. looked at everything that had happened.

Was it coincidence? Was it exactly what he needed at exactly the right time? Or was someone trying to tell him something?

Nearly 20 years later, D.B. still remembers what happened next.

This is Part Two of the most personal chapter of the Radio Journey so far.

If you haven't heard Episode 057, The Call I'll Never Forget, start there first.

Then listen to Episode 058 | You Know I'm Okay Now, Right? at dbnycepodcast.com.

In today's episode:

• 🍫 D.B. celebrates World Chocolate Day and reveals his favorite way to eat Reese's Cups.

• 🦐 Why shrimp is healthy... until you eat too much.
• 🌶️ A truck carrying 40,000 pounds of Frank's RedHot spills all over an Ohio highway, sending D.B. down one of his funniest rabbit holes yet.

It's another episode packed with laughs, stories, and the kind of random conversations that make every day a little more entertaining.

He was wrong.

After his time in Florida unexpectedly came to an end, a six-month non-compete left D.B. looking for his next opportunity. That's when his old friend Fatguy offered him a job doing nights at Star 94.9 in the Muscle Shoals area of Alabama.

Going from mornings back to nights felt like a step backward. Moving to Alabama wasn't exactly what D.B. had pictured for the next chapter of his career either.

But once he arrived, he discovered a place filled with incredible music history, legendary recording studios, fascinating people—and a few surprises that challenged what he thought he knew about Alabama.

And less than a week after starting his new job, something happened that nearly made him leave.

The Alabama chapter of D.B.'s Radio Journey begins.

It's another fun, laid-back episode full of laughs, random rabbit holes, and real conversation.

That's all it took.

Years ago, D.B. started working on a little YouTube project built around the classic arcade games he loved as a kid.

He had no idea where it would go.

He definitely didn't realize that choosing one particular game to review would start a chain of events that would still be affecting his life years later.

Today, D.B. looks back at D.B.'s Arcade, the childhood dream hiding behind it, and the seemingly insignificant decision that changed much more than he ever expected.

And it has him wondering:

What's the next box on the list?

Today, he learns that Ted apparently has the ability to find the perfect T-shirt for absolutely any situation.

That probably doesn't sound particularly dangerous.

But somehow it leads D.B. and Ted down a rabbit hole involving trivia, old characters, questionable intellectual property and the realization that they've apparently created an entire universe over the years.

And now there's someone new joining it.

His name is Tedpool.

After the storm, the normal formats disappeared. It didn't matter whether you worked at the Top 40 station, rock station or country station. People weren't looking for entertainment anymore.

They needed information.

Where could they find bottled water? Food? Shelter? Help?

And suddenly D.B. understood that being a local radio personality meant something much bigger than playing songs and making people laugh.

On this episode:

• What radio sounded like on the Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina.
• Why bottled water became part of everyday life.
• How multiple radio stations came together to serve one community.
• The moment D.B. realized the responsibility that comes with being a local personality.
• Why this Radio Journey isn't about celebrating everything D.B. did right.
• Looking back at mistakes with 20 years of perspective.
• Former coworkers beginning to reconnect after hearing these stories.
• Why D.B. wants to hear other people's versions of the memories he's been sharing.
• And a reflection on Lucas, the program director who hired D.B. in Biloxi, after learning of his passing.

Sometimes you don't understand the importance of a chapter while you're living it.

For D.B., Biloxi became much more than another stop in his radio career.

This is another chapter of D.B.'s Radio Journey. Start with Episode 030 and follow the story from the beginning.

From video games and cover songs to social scores and nostalgia, this episode is a reminder that getting older doesn't mean growing up—it just means going to bed earlier.

So grab your favorite drink, settle into your favorite chair, and spend some time with D.B. and Ted as they prove that some friendships only get better (and weirder) with age.

From aching backs and sleep deprivation to superhero movies, movie theater etiquette, and hilarious Venmo transactions, this episode is exactly what happens when two longtime friends sit down behind the microphones with no script and very little sleep.

Sometimes the best conversations are the ones that completely lose their way.

This week, they recap their stay at Secrets Baby Beach, settle the great hotel-room drawer debate from the last episode, talk about being pampered from the moment they arrived, and explain why D.B. apparently fell in love with a shower.

They also tell the full story behind one of the funniest moments of the entire honeymoon: walking through the rain to investigate a mysterious Aruba attraction they thought was called the "Pest Room."

It wasn't.

Not even close.

After the devastation and heavier memories of Hurricane Katrina, this chapter goes back to the people who made D.B.'s time on the Gulf Coast unforgettable.

There's Fat Guy, the intimidating punk-rock-looking radio guy who taught D.B. something unexpected about pedicures.

There's Grady, the ball of energy who helped the new guy from New Jersey discover Biloxi.

And then there's Caroline—a regular caller who became an unofficial character on D.B.'s radio show and knew exactly how to get the phones ringing. Twenty years later, she's built an online following of her own as Mississippi Kween.

But D.B. saved his worst prediction for last.

Back in 2005, an up-and-coming artist recorded a custom liner saying D.B.'s name and promoting his radio show. After Katrina, while cleaning out his desk, D.B. found the CD and threw it away.

Why?

Because he figured she'd probably be a one-hit wonder.

Her name was Rihanna.

Whoops.

On this episode:

• Meet one of D.B.'s favorite characters from his radio career: Fat Guy.
• How a punk-rock-looking dude convinced D.B. to get his first pedicure.
• Remembering Grady and D.B.'s introduction to life on the Gulf Coast.
• How regular callers became unofficial characters on D.B.'s nightly radio show.
• The incredible New Jersey connection D.B. discovered with Caroline.
• How Caroline went from radio-show troublemaker to Mississippi Kween.
• Why radio has always been "theater of the mind."
• And the story of the Rihanna recording D.B. wishes he had kept forever.

Sometimes the things you throw away become a lot more valuable twenty years later.

This time, he wanted to go home.

A promising opportunity appeared at a radio station he'd listened to his entire life, and for a while, it looked like everything was falling perfectly into place.

Until it wasn't.

Then D.B. answered a mysterious radio job posting that didn't identify the station—or even tell him where the job was.

What followed sent the Radio Journey somewhere he absolutely wasn't expecting.

And when D.B. arrived, an entire city was already asking the same question:

What does “KNOE IS DEAD” mean?

🎙️ Episode 059 | KNOE Is Dead

The Radio Journey continues at dbnycepodcast.com.

There was just one problem.

She didn't exist.

Debbie started as a ridiculous recurring character during D.B.'s early radio days—a supposedly gorgeous blonde model who somehow had the voice of an 80-year-old lifelong smoker.

The voice was D.B.

But over time, the joke got considerably more elaborate.

Debbie started appearing on D.B.'s radio shows. His coworkers interacted with her. She got her own MySpace page. Friends and family played along.

And eventually...

D.B. needed to find an actual face for his imaginary sister.

On this episode:

• How the character of Debbie was created.
• Why D.B.'s imaginary twin sister was supposedly the exact opposite of him.
• How Joe and Durr helped convince listeners that Debbie might actually be real.
• Taking the character from the Hit Squad to radio stations around the country.
• Why MySpace created an entirely new problem for the joke.
• Meeting Amber and Sean while DJing their wedding in Florida.
• How Amber unexpectedly became the face of Debbie.
• Creating an entire MySpace identity for someone who didn't exist.
• The time Joe's girlfriend became jealous of an imaginary woman.
• Why Joe desperately begged D.B. not to do the Debbie voice while explaining the situation.
• Reconnecting with Amber and Sean nearly two decades later.
• Bringing Debbie back to life during D.B.'s Delaware radio years.
• And how D.B.'s own wedding finally brought together three people who had supposedly known each other for almost twenty years.

What started as a stupid radio bit somehow became a running joke that survived multiple radio stations, multiple states and nearly two decades.

And at D.B.'s wedding...

Joe and Durr finally got to meet Debbie.

The Radio Journey continues next episode.

• Why today's malls feel like a shell of what they once were.
• And D.B. settles an important debate once and for all: a room full of ticket and prize games is NOT an arcade.

From childhood memories and disappearing summers to Pac-Man, Galaga, mall food courts, and the difference between an arcade and a game room, D.B. takes a trip back to a time when hanging out didn't require Wi-Fi—and entertainment sometimes cost just a quarter.

So grab your favorite drink, settle in, and spend a little time with D.B. as he wonders whether some things really were better back then.

D.B. has officially left Biloxi and started the next chapter of his radio career in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. But there's still one major problem:

He has nowhere to live.

And he's not alone.

In this episode, D.B. talks about something he's struggled with while telling this part of his Radio Journey—how to tell the story of these years without leaving out someone who played an important role in them: his son's mother.

When D.B. accepted the Florida job, their relationship was still new. The original plan was to try long distance while she returned to Biloxi.

Then something happened.

She couldn't find gas.

What seemed like a temporary problem during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina became one of those small moments D.B. can now look back on and wonder how differently his life might have unfolded if things had gone another way.

On this episode:

• Why D.B. has struggled with talking about his son's mother during this part of the story.
• Looking back at how career-driven D.B. was in his twenties.
• The decision they faced when another radio opportunity arrived.
• Why they originally planned to try a long-distance relationship.
• The post-Katrina gas shortage that unexpectedly changed those plans.
• The song D.B. remembers playing during that moment.
• How one small decision became part of a chain of events that eventually led to D.B. becoming a dad.
• The increasingly troubling behavior of D.B.'s new program director.
• Why Fly 92.1 kept mysteriously going silent after midnight.
• The night things finally went too far.
• And how someone else's sudden departure unexpectedly gave D.B. the thing he'd desperately been searching for—a home.

Sometimes life doesn't change because of one giant decision.

Sometimes you just can't find a gas station.

Then the music started.

And Sherry immediately realized:

That's not my song.

What happened next looked completely different depending on where you were standing—and for the first time, D.B., Sherry and best man Ted compare notes about what each of them thought was happening during those few chaotic minutes.

Turns out there were a couple of surprises that none of them knew about.

🎙️ Episode 075 | That's Not My Song

Listen now at dbnycepodcast.com

D.B. revisits the action movies he once thought were masterpieces—only to discover terrible acting, ridiculous dialogue, questionable plots, and a whole lot of whispering from Steven Seagal. He also remembers encyclopedias and Blockbuster nights, questions people wearing hoodies in 98-degree weather, and helps a listener caught between protecting his family’s Christmas traditions and pleasing the grandparents.

What movie did you love growing up that absolutely does not hold up today?

Listen to every episode at www.dbnycepodcast.com.

In the very first D.B. & Ted weekend episode, the guys catch up after D.B.'s wedding and talk about everything that happened leading up to the big day. Ted shares what it was like serving as best man, they relive stories from the bachelor party, and look back on a wedding they'll never forget.

The conversation also takes a nostalgic turn as they reminisce about growing up, hanging out at the mall, classic arcades, Toys "R" Us, and the stores every kid couldn't wait to visit. It's two lifelong friends doing what they do best—telling stories, making each other laugh, and taking listeners along for the ride.

And somehow a conversation about growing up in the '80s turns into old movies, childhood memories, artificial intelligence, candy, questionable business opportunities... and D.B. discovering that Ted may have found a way to make money from the podcast.

Which would be great.

Except apparently D.B. isn't getting any of it.

This seems like something the legal department should probably look into.

Or when AOL Instant Messenger was cutting-edge technology?

D.B. has a theory: Generation X might be the best generation at adapting to change.

From VHS tapes and CDs to smartphones and artificial intelligence, Gen X has lived through one technological revolution after another.

But does that really make us better at embracing change than the generations before and after us?

D.B. has an opinion. And he'd love to hear yours.

Plus, a big milestone for The D.B. Nyce Podcast!

Most nights, everyone else was gone before his show ended at midnight.

The lights were off.

The hallways were dark.

And one night, something kept catching the corner of D.B.'s eye.

Then he turned around and saw an elderly man standing inside a dark production studio—a tall, slender man with a gaunt appearance who looked like he could have stepped straight out of an old photograph from the 1800s.

For about half a second, D.B. was convinced he'd just seen a ghost.

Turns out his name was Frank.

Then D.B. introduces another unforgettable Alabama radio friend, Farley—and explains why yelling “TIGER FOOTBALL!” at the wrong moment became a joke they're still talking about nearly 20 years later.

And before we leave Alabama, there's another creepy story waiting in a nearby park...

What begins with the joys of watching your spouse fight with technology somehow turns into Alexa developing an attitude, D.B. and Ted deliberately trying to convince their phones they're obsessed with adult diapers, and the possibility that they've completely destroyed their social media algorithms.

Ted has thoughts.

Something isn't working the way D.B. and Sherry expected, they've tried just about everything to fix it, and somehow D.B. may have accidentally discovered that he's part of the solution.

Unfortunately, explaining how he discovered that makes the situation sound considerably worse than it actually is.

Probably.

Kelly Clarkson – "Breakaway"

Every time I hear this song, I'm reminded of packing up everything I owned, leaving New Jersey behind, and driving to Bangor, Maine to begin my very first full-time radio job. It became the soundtrack to one of the biggest leaps of faith I've ever taken.

Together, D.B. and Sudario hosted the All Request Drive at Five, throwing the normal playlist rules aside and letting listeners help decide what came out of the speakers.

But one of their biggest adventures together wouldn't happen inside the radio studio.

D.B. was about to live on a bus for an entire week.

Years earlier, while interning at Q102 in Philadelphia, D.B. had watched the station pull off a massive holiday toy drive. When Fly 92.1 needed a big Christmas promotion of its own, D.B. remembered the idea.

Stuff-A-Bus was coming to Florida.

On this episode:

• Why D.B. and DJ Sudario became such a strong team on the radio.
• The freedom—and chaos—of the All Request Drive at Five.
• How D.B.'s internship at Q102 continued influencing his career years later.
• Where D.B. first encountered the Stuff-A-Bus concept.
• Convincing management to bring the promotion to Fly 92.1.

• How local schools, businesses and listeners rallied around the promotion.
• Why Stuff-A-Bus became a promotion D.B. would take with him to other radio stations.
• And the lesson that completely changed the way D.B. looked at his job.

D.B. went into radio because he wanted to entertain people.

Stuff-A-Bus helped teach him that being a local radio personality meant something more.

You don't just broadcast to a community. You become part of it.

The Radio Journey continues tomorrow.

Start from the beginning with Episode 030 and catch every chapter at dbnycepodcast.com.

Would D.B. get attacked by seagulls? Bit by a turtle? Would Sherry insist on unpacking before they even saw the beach? And most importantly...

• And the shocking revelation that Sherry doesn't listen to D.B.'s daily podcast.

Filled with laughter, playful teasing, and the kind of conversations only a married couple can have, Episode 028 is another reminder that sometimes the best moments happen when you simply hit "record" and see where the conversation takes you.

New episodes of D.B. & Sherry are released every Saturday.

Listen to every episode of The D.B. Nyce Podcast, D.B. & Sherry, and D.B. & Ted at dbnycepodcast.com.

Then things get a little more personal.

D.B. opens up about living with ADHD, how it impacts his everyday life, and why it feels like his brain has "50 browser tabs open at once." He also shares how he and Sherry have been spending their evenings preparing for their honeymoon to Aruba by watching countless YouTube videos about the island—a tradition he jokingly calls "Vacation Porn."

But the real story today is about the people D.B. met while living hundreds of miles from home.

There's Diesel, a Detroit radio guy who somehow knew people from D.B.'s Philadelphia radio days.

And then there's Frank.

Frank was a wonderful guy.

Frank could also talk.

A lot.

So much that D.B. and Diesel eventually developed an emergency rescue system for anyone unfortunate enough to be “getting Franked.”

It was goofy workplace nonsense—but looking back nearly 20 years later, D.B. realizes those friendships served a much bigger purpose. When you're far from home, sometimes the people you work with become the people who get you through it.

And that's about to become more important than D.B. realizes.

But during his time in Florida, D.B. started realizing something:

It couldn't just be a name anymore.

Working at Fly 92.1 introduced D.B. to the nightclub DJ scene around Fort Walton Beach and Destin—and some of the people who dominated it.

DJ Sudario. DJ Boom. And DJ Doc Roc.

These guys didn't simply play music. They understood how to control a room, build a following and create a reputation strong enough that people would show up because their name was on the marquee.

And watching one of them taught D.B. a lesson he still carries with him twenty years later.

On this episode:

• The difference between being a radio personality and being a nightclub DJ.
• How Sudario introduced D.B. to Florida's club DJ scene.
• Meeting DJ Boom and DJ Doc Roc.
• Why certain DJs could practically guarantee a packed nightclub.
• What D.B. learned watching them control a crowd.
• Working live broadcasts from Florida clubs.
• Why DJ Doc Roc was extremely selective about the projects carrying his name.
• The Saturday radio show that put D.B. and Doc Roc together.
• Why younger D.B. initially worried that having strict standards could hurt future opportunities.
• The moment D.B. began seeing those standards completely differently.
• Why protecting your reputation can matter more than a quick payday.
• And how that lesson still influences the way D.B. runs Video Music Bingo today.

Twenty years ago, D.B. learned something he still believes:

Your name isn't just what people call you. It's what people expect from you.

And once people associate your name with a certain standard, protecting that reputation becomes part of the job.

The Radio Journey continues next episode.

Before continuing his Radio Journey, D.B. wants to thank a VMB player named Michael, who recently discovered the podcast through Video Music Bingo and unknowingly gave D.B. some much-needed encouragement to keep going.

Then it's back to Alabama.

Within days of moving to the Muscle Shoals area and starting nights at Star 94.9, something happened just blocks from the radio station that made D.B. seriously question whether he'd made the right decision for himself and his family.

His new boss Brian's reaction—and the response from the community—quickly showed him there was much more to this place than his first impression.

And the night show D.B. worried would be a step backward soon gave him the opportunity to cross another goal off his radio career bucket list: D.B. Nyce at Night was now being heard in multiple radio markets.

And that creepy old building where the radio station was located?

We'll get to that tomorrow.

Now it's time to meet some of the people who would turn Fly 92.1 from another stop in his radio career into one of its most memorable chapters.

There was Booker—the prankster who learned the hard way that when D.B. says not to mess with him, he probably means it.

There was DJ Sudario—a local club DJ who quickly became one of D.B.'s favorite people to work and hang out with.

And then there was Drex.

Young, smart and ambitious, Drex understood the radio business well beyond his years. When a sudden management change put him in charge of Fly 92.1, he and D.B. realized they shared the same goal:

Make this their station.

On this episode:

• Meeting the cast of characters at D.B.'s new Florida radio station.
• Why Booker probably should have listened when D.B. warned him not to mess with him.
• The night D.B. filled an entire office with hundreds of balloons.
• Remembering some of the coworkers who made Florida special.
• Why D.B. and DJ Sudario immediately clicked.
• Meeting Drex, one of the people who would become important to D.B.'s Florida years.
• How Drex became program director of Fly 92.1.

• Rebuilding the identity of a radio station whose original air staff had disappeared.
• D.B.'s move from nights to afternoon drive.
• The All Request Drive at Five with DJ Sudario .
• And the lineup that made Fly 92.1 finally feel like their station.

Things at Fly were starting to take off.

Unfortunately, things inside the building were also starting to change.

And D.B. was about to learn that succeeding in radio sometimes required understanding a game he didn't even know he was playing.

The Radio Journey continues tomorrow.

Start D.B.'s Radio Journey with Episode 030 and catch up at dbnycepodcast.com.

On this episode:

• The ambitious plan to turn a radio show into a television show—years before video podcasts became the norm.

This is Part Three of D.B.'s radio journey. In the next episode, D.B. shares how all of those years of hard work finally paid off with his very first paying radio job—and the unbelievable place it took him.

It all leads to a touching final thought that every parent will understand:

Then came Monroe, Louisiana.

A brand-new station. A brand-new morning show. A new co-host named Jenni—and a market that had absolutely no idea what D.B. was about to bring to morning radio.

For the first time in months, something started coming back.

The excitement.

The ridiculous ideas.

The connection with listeners.

And most importantly, the reason D.B. fell in love with radio in the first place.

But just as things were starting to feel right again, more changes were coming.

But while D.B. was ordering his son's latest pictures, he realized there aren't many of these left.

Then, over the weekend, his mom handed him a box filled with old VHS tapes from the '80s and '90s.

What D.B. found on those tapes wasn't just old birthday parties, family vacations and some very questionable teenage performances.

He noticed something he'd never seen before.

And suddenly, those old home movies meant a whole lot more.

🎙️ Episode 064 | Wow, Dad... I Look Like You

Listen now at dbnycepodcast.com

D.B. & Jenni had taken the new Star 101.9 morning show to the top of the ratings, the station was connecting with the community, and D.B. had rediscovered everything he'd once loved about radio.

Then the changes started.

One D.B. had always suspected might eventually happen.

Another he absolutely didn't see coming.

And suddenly, for the first time in his Radio Journey, the next decision wasn't only about his career anymore.

🎙️ Episode 061 | It Was Time to Go Home

Today, D.B. closes this chapter of the Radio Journey—and explains why the audio journal is about to change direction.

Listen at dbnycepodcast.com.

That's enough. Don't mention pregnancy, Christopher, Ace & TJ, quitting, moving home or Duck Dynasty in the description. Let people discover all of it.

Okay, technically it was a T-shirt he found on the Ocean City boardwalk, but that's really just semantics.

This week, D.B. & Ted start with some of the questionable wisdom found on boardwalk T-shirts and somehow end up creating what may be the worst Oreo flavor ever conceived.

Along the way, D.B. talks about a surprisingly accurate tarot card reading, Ted discovers that literally everything he says technically qualifies as a "Ted Talk," and the guys wonder why Oreo can't simply leave a perfectly good cookie alone.

On this episode:

• D.B.'s prestigious new title: White Boy of the Year.
• Wisdom from the Ocean City boardwalk.
• The tarot card reading that freaked D.B. out a little.
• Why every conversation with Ted is technically a Ted Talk.
• Classic Ted vs. New Ted.
• Why Oreo needs to stop messing with perfection.
• The creation of an Oreo flavor absolutely nobody asked for.
• Ted finally admits what really happened to a hotel bed on his honeymoon.
• Teachers finding creative ways to catch students using AI.
• Why D.B. and Ted sometimes don't remember conversations they've already had.
• The strange experience of listening to their old podcasts years later.
• Why wives have probably heard the same stories approximately 700 times.
• And the guys' brilliant strategy for finding out whether Sherry and Steph actually listen to the show.

If there's no D.B. & Ted next Sunday...

You'll know what happened.

New episodes of D.B. & Ted are released every Sunday.

Catch every episode of D.B. & Ted, D.B. & Sherry and The D.B. Nyce Podcast at dbnycepodcast.com.

After catching up on their week, the conversation somehow turns into Sherry desperately trying to remember Meg Ryan's name, movies everybody loves that they've never watched, D.B.'s failed attempt to introduce Sherry to Star Wars, and the realization that if it's not Hallmark...Sherry probably isn't interested.

Then D.B. asks one simple question:

Who should play me in the D.B. & Sherry movie?

Sherry's first choice?

Peter Griffin.

Meanwhile, Chanel discovers all the wires underneath the new studio desk and eventually decides when the show is over.

It's another completely normal episode of D.B. & Sherry.

This is Part Five of D.B.'s radio journey. Next time, D.B. shares the frightening story that made Bangor feel like something straight out of a Stephen King novel.

He's not doing a morning show anymore.

He's doing a podcast.

In this deeply personal episode, D.B. talks about the evolution of The D.B. Nyce Podcast, why he's moving away from his radio roots, and why he believes this show has become more than just another podcast—it's become his audio journal.

Along the way, he discusses:

• Why he started the podcast in the first place.
• The growth of the show and listeners from around the world.
• Why "Hey D.B. Nyce" is here to stay.
• The rise of AI and whether we should be afraid of it.
• An AI radio DJ that thought Friday was Sunday.
• Why technology should help humans, not replace them.
• And why he hopes his son—and maybe even his grandchildren—will someday listen back and hear these stories.

This episode marks a turning point for The D.B. Nyce Podcast as D.B. officially leaves behind the structure of morning radio and fully embraces what this show has become:

An audio journal of life, family, friendship, and the stories worth remembering.

Listen to The D.B. Nyce Podcast, D.B. & Sherry, and D.B. & Ted at dbnycepodcast.com.

D.B. and Ted celebrate a major milestone... by doing what they do best—going completely off the rails.

What starts as a simple conversation about a voice changer quickly turns into the creation of new characters, ridiculous sound effects, questionable legal advice, and one very mischievous "Bad Baby."

On this episode:

• Celebrating Episode 50 of D.B. & Ted.
• The voice changer that nearly derailed the recording.
• The birth of "Bad Baby."
• The official (and completely made-up) Ragger Scale.
• Why imaginary lawyers keep interrupting the show.
• Copyright jokes, classic video game characters, and the dangers of making Disney nervous.
• A whole lot of laughter that couldn't have been scripted.

Some episodes tell stories.

Some episodes solve life's problems.

This one proves that sometimes the funniest conversations happen when two friends simply start making each other laugh.

Growing up in New Jersey meant being surrounded by family, lifelong friends and familiar places. If things got tough, there was always somewhere—or someone—to turn to.

Then radio changed everything.

Bangor. Biloxi. Florida.

New cities. New jobs. New people.

And for the first time in his life, D.B. had to figure out how to build a life without the safety net he'd always known.

Then an old friend came back into the story.

Matt was moving to Florida.

On this episode:

• Why a conversation with D.B.'s son made him look differently at this chapter of his own life.
• What it was really like moving hundreds of miles away from everything familiar.
• Why D.B. suddenly realized how much he'd taken his lifelong support system for granted.
• How D.B. helped Matt get an opportunity at the Florida radio station.
• Matt packing up and moving from Pennsylvania to Florida.
• Why a part-time radio job wasn't going to stop Matt from chasing the dream.
• The second job that helped him make it work.
• How an unfortunate change at the station eventually gave Matt his first full-time radio opportunity.
• Why having Matt in Florida gave D.B. a piece of home again.
• The group of friends that made Florida start feeling permanent.
• Golly—the stray cat who somehow became part of the radio station family.
• And Jimmy—the Siamese cat loud enough to convince D.B. there was a crying baby in his apartment.

For the first time since leaving home to chase radio, D.B. wasn't just living somewhere new.

He was building a home.

And for a while, he honestly believed this might be the life he'd keep forever.

The Radio Journey continues tomorrow.

Start D.B.'s Radio Journey with Episode 030 and catch up anytime at dbnycepodcast.com.

For D.B., that happened several times this weekend.

Watching Sherry in her element. Sitting at a family wedding exactly three months after their own. Celebrating another family birthday. And thinking about those old VHS tapes he talked about yesterday.

It all led D.B. to realize something about the moments we're constantly capturing on our phones.

Maybe they don't all need to be shared with everybody.

Maybe they're meant for somebody else.

🎙️ Episode 065 | Just Share It With Your World

From New Jersey to Maine, Mississippi, Florida and eventually other parts of the country, every move introduced him to different people, different communities and different ways of looking at life.

In this chapter of the Radio Journey, D.B. looks back at living in beautiful Fort Walton Beach and Destin, Florida, the stereotypes he carried with him before moving to unfamiliar places, and how getting outside his own bubble changed the way he understands people—even when he doesn't agree with them.

Sometimes you have to leave home to understand just how big the world outside of it really is.

D.B. spent more than two decades working in radio, and on this chapter of the Radio Journey, he's pulling back the curtain on some of the tricks stations and personalities have used to get listeners talking.

Because in some ways, radio wasn't all that different from professional wrestling.

Stage names. Characters. Manufactured situations. Planned outcomes. Backstage politics.

D.B. explains how a strategically placed caller could turn a boring topic into phones ringing off the hook, remembers an outrageous stunt from Philadelphia radio that convinced an entire town to join the joke, and breaks down why those dramatic "gotcha" segments you've heard on morning radio aren't always what they appear to be.

But that leaves a bigger question:

If the audience is connecting with something that isn't real...is that actually good radio?

D.B. wrestles with his own answer and explains why, after all these years, he believes personality and authenticity matter more than the gimmick.

And next time, the Radio Journey returns to Florida—where D.B. learned about another thing radio and professional wrestling have in common:

backstage politics.

For D.B., one of them is July 16, 2007.

He was sitting at his desk at the radio station in Alabama when his phone rang. It was his mom calling in the middle of the day—something she almost never did.

Then she said the words that changed everything.

In today's Radio Journey, D.B. remembers losing his father, the coworkers who surrounded him when he was hundreds of miles from home, the simple drives and Wawa coffees he shared with his dad, and the phone calls they made to each other throughout D.B.'s radio career.

He also remembers one voicemail from the night before that he wishes he'd answered.

And for the first time since beginning his journey in radio, D.B. seriously wondered whether any of it was worth what he'd missed back home.

He was ready to walk away.

Then something happened.

Chapter Song: “How to Save a Life” – The Fray
