Boomer and The Dave here in Sacramento. I believe that they are the DJ’s that Adam Carolla based his Boomer and The Nudge on for _Crank Yankers_. ---

For years, we’ve had Max Volume here in Reno. (Now it reminds of the Simpsons episode when Homer changed his name to Max Power) Also–Oliver Clothesoff…Ew! ---

In Dublin we have an appallingly ingratiating and jovial, yet hideously unfunny DJ called **Rick O’Shea**. :rolleyes: ---

Boston has some real winners. Storm and Birdsie Rocko (used to be Rocko and Birdsie, but Birdsie switched stations) And of course the wonderful Opie and Anthony started here in Boston. What’s the deal with Man Cow? I’ve heard Howard Stern mention him. I thought it was a joke until I realized that is the actual name he goes by. Where is that - Chicago?? ---

On KUFO in Portland they have a guy in the afternoons called Craig the Dog-faced Boy. The station had a contest to name his partner, and the winning entry was Porkchop (as in “He’s so ugly his mama had to tie a Porkchop around his neck to get the dog to play with him.”) So it’s Craig the Dog-Faced Boy and his Porkchop. KNRK has a weekend guy named Robin Banks, which I think is kinda cute. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/bad-local-radio-djs-names/170881.md?page=1)
