View Full Version : Radio DJ's not fitting your mental picture...
Tenbatsuzen

*a spinoff from the Umberto's thread - I like to call it a Lynda Carter moment*
I'm sure it's happened to us once or twice... you turn on the radio, you listen to a personality, and then when you see a picture of them or meet them in person, it doesn't fit the mental picture you had.
The first time it happened to me, it was with Pat St. John when he was on K-Rock. (When it was still classic rock). I remember that Channel 11 was doing a puff piece on K-Rock, and I looked forward to seeing what one of my favorite DJ's looked like.
To say I was shocked and dismayed by what Pat looked like is an understatement.
Here are some of the DJ's that didn't fit my mental picture AT ALL...
- Sweeney Murti. That was the biggest shocker of them all. Hands down. I was expecting an Irishman.
- Fez Whatley. Obvious.
- Joe Beningo. I was expecting a fat dude for some reason. Not the Unibomber.
***
People who DO fit the mental picture...
- Opie.
- Big Joe Henry
- Sid Rosenberg
- Jim Kerr

I think it's rubbed off on Pettingill. He used to be a dork, but a normal looking dork. He's changed his look a bit and now he looks like a very, very weird dork.

When I was about 10 years old, I was walking through the loge area of Yankee Stadium where the announcer booths are. One of the doors was open just as my parents & I were passing by & my mom yells, "Hi, Art Rust!" All I saw was a black guy in there, that couldn't be the voice I've heard on the radio for years!?! I don't why, but I never even considered that he was black...maybe it's because I assumed all baseball radio announcers looked like Harry Caray.

First off, Chris from the Mike and Maddog show looked EXACTLY like I pictured.
I thought Ron was going to look totally different. He was a lot larger than I thought he was going to be. I had no idea what to expect of Fez.

For some reason, i always had an image of Billy Staples being black, and even after i knew he wasn't, i still had the picture in my head when he talked.
And the picture of Mikey D. that i had in my head looked like a different planet from what he actually looked like. i knew he had a resemblance to Sammy Hagar, but the picture i had of him was wholly different from what he actually looks like.

Mikey D and Billy were both right on for me. Al Dukes looked totally different. So did all the girls who used to hang out with the show. I do not think one of them fit my mental Image.

On the current R&F show, J Dubs and Wendell look pretty much just like I expected them to look.

Eddie Trunk looks a LOT "softer" than I thought he would, even for a DJ.
The Greaseman I expected to look like a typical "shock jock," and actually ended up like a greasy, mobster, lounge singer.
Anthony is, I think, the ultimate for a DJ that looked TOTALLY unlike what I thought he would...a little, uhm, "rougher" than I thought he would?

Well Terri Carr is an absolute knockout! As was Leslie Gold (Yes I thought the Radio Chick was hot!) but I never thought they were gonna look like their voices portrayed them.
I was shocked to see Pat Saint John (1 of the best DJ's I have ever heard), he had more of a General George Custer look to him.
Also met John Bell from Z100...what a douche!
Don and Mike? Just as I thought they would look.

A lot of mine are from WFAN because I guess it was the first talk radio I got into...
http://images.viacomlocalnetworks.com/images_sizedimage_133165217/med
The Schmoozer- one day I just turn on the radio and I was like "who the fuck is this guy"... this was way back in 2000, I think this was when he switched shifts with Jody Mac. Anyway, since then I have become a big fan.
Basically all of the guys that worked the flash on the FAN, especially Sweeny Murti. Who the fuck would've thought he was basically Indian?
http://images.viacomlocalnetworks.com/images_346162323/lg
Gary Cohen... when I first saw him I was completely confused. His upbeat voice really makes you think he's a 30 year old guy.
And the guy that I dispise...
http://images.viacomlocalnetworks.com/images_1583956454/lg
Adam Shcein
Then there was both Ron and Fez. Fez was the biggest surprise... beard?? When you see what Ron looks like it's more of a "ohh!!! Why didn't I think of that???"
Two producers... WonderBoy who looks a lot older than I thought he would be and Rory Hamptons.
And El Jefe and J-Dubs' faces do not look anything like they should.

That's what Adam Schein looks like? I always picked him to be more of an Eddie Trunk/DonLaGreca type. Either way, he's still the worst thing tha ever happened to me. He's the Leykis of sports talk. I quote Jay Mohr. He was talking about Leykis on O and A, but it fits for Schein as well. "Oh my God! That guy's awful. He sounds like he's vomiting into the microphone."

Considering how insanely hot Erica Herskowitz is (for a sports reporter - I seriously believe she can give Melissa Stark a run for her money as a "serious" sports reporter - Tafoyah and Guerrero don't count) I'm kind of uneasy to see what the other WFAN "female" voices look like.
I mean, Herskowitz is the anti-Waldman.
