Eyada

I was just thinking...I miss eyada. The best talk radio network ever. It folded about 2 years ago, I guess. To any of you who never listened or never heard of the network- it was an internet-only talk radio station that wasn't bound by any rules that normal stations have to follow. They could talk about anything, say anything they wanted, it was great. My favorite show was Dan and Scott- two crazy guys who did a little talk, a little prank phone calling, and a little phone sex...well, faux phone sex sorta. They did this thing called, 'This isn't phone sex, you dumbfuck' where they got one of their listeners (they usually used the same girl every week) who would call into the show and they would get listeners to post a NYC number throughout the net when the show aired- in chat rooms and such...trying to get lame idiots to call this fake girl up and have phone sex. The girl would answer calls from people who got the number, and then she would start to have phone sex with them- it got pretty nasty most of the time...Dan would break in on the line and pretend to be the girl's dad and start dialing...then, he'd realize she was on the phone and act like a weird dad, stuff like that. Then, at some point, they'd get on and tell the person that it wasn't phone sex, but that they were on a radio show making an ass of themselves. Most people hung up right away, but some of them stayed on the line and chatted about how they were duped into falling for the whole thing and why they called, etc. They always had a running total each day of the inches- they added up the size of the callers' penises...or, at least the size they claimed to be.

They also had other segments where Dan would just prank call people...he would call hardware stores and pretend to be a priest who wanted sex, so he tried to make love to a coke bottle and it got stuck in there, and he explained how it was bleeding and he needed help...but, that he was a priest and word of this couldn't get out- so he'd try to get people to come over (to a church he made up- since he called random people all over the country), and he'd tell the person that if they came over and helped him pull it out, he'd pay them or something. Or, he'd ask what sort of things he could use to get it unstuck...

There was the segment where Dan played the guy who heard online that you could have sex with a cow's heart, if you hooked it up to an electrical current to make it pulse. He'd call butcher shops and explain this to people, trying his best to find a whole cow's heart.

Then, there's the segment where he'd call old people and ask if they were getting enough vitamin c, so they wouldn't be in danger of getting scurvy.

Lots of different segments, and just general talk about current events, entertainment, etc.

They also had a sex show with Bob Berkowitz...and he actually had Tera Patrick as a guest one day (she called in from home, and she was sick with a cold)...he got some callers, and most of the callers were asking questions and trying to basically have phone sex with her. Anyhow, he had on a variety of guests and talked about sex and how to improve your sex life and stuff.

There were other shows- a psychology show hosted by some doctor, a sports show, a show all about wrestling, a gossip show, and more.

They went out of business, because they couldn't bring in enough ad revenue. I was sad to see it go away. The great thing was- it was all entirely free, and you could listen to any of the shows at anytime- they aired live, then they archived them, and you could listen to your favorite show whenever you wanted. Plus, the archived shows went back fairly far...you could listen to an entire month's worth of shows all day long. With a broadband connection- the audio was always great (they had both windows media and real player streams)...Hopefully, another online network will start up, and hopefully it'll be free too (they'll make their money from ads like eyada.)

Okay, I'm done with my fond memories of eyada now...
