Al Gardner Talks John Lennon on The Mike Douglas Show in Philly! | Apologies for the run-on title, but that's exactly what we got today in talking with our own Andre Gardner's brother, Al Gardner. He was in attendance on this date in 1972, at The Mike Douglas show studio in center city Philly. Why was this such an important date? Because it marked the taping of John Lennon and Yoko Ono on that show, which aired on five separate dates following that! It was a landmark day in Beatles and Philadelpia rock history, and Al had the eye witness scoop, as a young twenty-something in attendance!

Rich Vos In-Studio | Comedian and "still empty inside" father, Rich Vos joined us this morning! Maybe it's because we cut into his tee times, or perhaps it's the stresses of playing dad to 3 girls (we're not sure), but he's one grumpy SOB, folks, and therein lies the comedy.

Bert Kreisher In-Studio | This morning we had comedian, Bert Kreisher visit. John could barely introduce him and he was off to the races, riffing on everything from his drunken love of Billy Joel to his inebriated fanscination with his children's dreams! Come to think of it, alcohol played a role in nearly everything he talked about. He was probably drunk on the air! You be the judge. He's at Helium this weekend. Enjoy. | 1/13/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

JY, of Styx, Makes NFL Playoffs Picks | James Young, guitarist of Styx, was back on the air with us to look at the weekend's exciting football match-ups!

Christopher Titus for POTUS? | This morning, we chatted with a presidential candidate. Ok, not really, but he premises his comedy show around being one, which isn't too far off from reality!

Marc Martel is Freddy Mercury Incarnate | This morning we may have shocked a few people, had they tuned in halfway through this interview. Why? Cause you woulda sworn Freddy Mercury was singing live on our airwaves! But, in fact, it wasn't the Queen frontman, but the new frontman for the Queen Extravaganza. That is the project Roger Taylor and Brian May put together recently, auditioning musicians and singers the world over to hit the road with them recreating a live Queen show! Marc got the gig, and we got the interview with him. Listen and be amazed... | 1/10/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Vinnie Brand In-Studio | One of the show's favorite people in the world, Vinnie Brand was here today! The lovable comedian, "farmer," and aggrieved parent had lots of updates from life back home, most of which surrounded the death of his daughters guinea pigs!

JY, of Styx, Makes NFL Picks! | It's not uncommon for a guitarist to throw his picks out to the crowd, but it is rare for them to be of the sporting variety! That's the kind we had James Young, guitarist for Styx, make this morning. JY is a rabid football fan, and seeing as our Birds aren't in the playoffs, we figured we'd merge a classic rock angle with the sport everyone will be watching this weekend.

Ike Richman Was at Van Halen's VIP Show | VP of Public Relations for Comcast, Ike Richman joined us this morning to talk some Van Halen! He was one of the lucky VIPs who got in at their little dive bar show for 250 or so people up in New York City last night.

John Oliver, NOT Steve Coogan | This morning we chatted with British comedian, and correspondent on the Daily Show, John Oliver. He will be at Helium Comedy Club this weekend, but was so important, he did not come in studio, but rather called us from New York! And since DeBella mistook John Oliver for another British comic last interview, we were compelled to pick up and give him a chance on the air, just to bring balance to the world. Here he is, with plenty of British perspective to be shared! | 1/5/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Sal Pal on the Eagles - The Eulogy | Many fans knew it would come to this very early on in the season. Unfortunately, the Birds would finish the season without a playoff birth. And that's exactly what happened over the weekend. The Eagles fan, however, does have an event to look forward to after the regular season ends- a Jeffrey Lurie press conference! That's what we'll get later today, as even he himself has realized he's got some splainin' to do! Listen to ESPN's Sal Paolantonio break down the many goings-on in Eagle land right here. | 1/3/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Chris Coccia In-Studio | Comedian, Chris Coccia (from West Chester, PA!) joined us in-studio this morning. It had been a while since we saw the man, and his daughter is now in college, his love for shopping and presents has decreased, and his love for Grover Silcox has grown. Why do we say this? Cause he hung out with us for half the show, and is even having Grove open his show tonight in Phoenixville at P.J. Ryan's. 8pm showtime, folks, and a great double billing!

Sal Pal on the Eagles - Week 15 | The NFL season is quickly drawing to a close and somehow, Andy Reid has managed to wedge his foot in the door to the playoffs! It's not open yet, but it could be, should things continue to break the Birds way. They absolutely routed the Jets yesterday afternoon, and ESPN's intrepid reporter had plenty to say about it.

Julian McCullough In-Studio | Comedian, Julian McCullough is back in the city of his birth, and somehow he's never made it on our show! Not sure how that happened, but we were glad he could make it in this morning. He had some hilarious stories to share involving a lot of relatable topics, and he'll be hanging in Philly all weekend if you would like to see him!

Roseanne Mancini is DeBella's Christmas Miracle | This morning John found his annual "Christmas Miracle" in Roseanne Mancini. She is a local woman who is selflessly honoring our troops, by making trips and homemade cookies for them! So we tracked her down to recognize her on-air this morning, and promote goodwill such as this for those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country!

Seth Meyers Does Wednesday Morning Live! | Saturday Night Live writer and star, Seth Meyers may have been out of his element at this time of the morning, midweek, but that didn't stop him from checking in with us!

Sal Pal on the Eagles - Week 14 | We chatted with ESPN's Sal Paolantonio this morning, since we're coming off an Eagles game, and an Eagles WIN at that! Sal Pal was posted up at an even chillier place than Philadelphia, and called us bright and early from Green Bay, Wisconsin, to talk about how this team refuses to die. The Cowboys lost Sunday night, so technically there still is a slim chance at the playoffs! SLIM. But, nonetheless, a chance.

Gary Gulman In-Studio | Comedian, Gary Gulman barely fit into our studio today, but we managed, after raising the mics and telling him to watch the ceiling. He is one hilarious dude, and being the holiday season, he had plenty to say about it as a Jewish man.

The 1st Beatles Fan - Debbie Gendler | This morning, we chatted with a woman who can make a serious argument that she was the first Beatles fan. Debbie Gendler is her name, and she told us all about growing up in Beatlemania, and being at the forefront of those screaming masses of young girls! She started a fan club, was there at The Ed Sullivan Show when they made their infamous debut in the States, and all other kinds of superfan activities.

Comedian, Joe DeVito In-Studio | We welcomed comic, Joe DeVito for the first time this morning! We could have made him walk the gauntlet (literally, since we were packed with First Friday listeners) but we took it easy on him, even after he insulted us. Why? Because he made us laugh. And that's really all you want from a comedian. Have a listen, and trek down to Helium Comedy Club this weekend if you'd like to see him in the flesh! That does not mean he performs naked.

He literally gave us a tour of his house, checking in on his kids and wife that make up mouch of his act. Craig will be at The Colonial Theater on Saturday, November 26th, and claims to be a mess when he comes out, since he is the Lovemaster! Take that as you will.

Customer Reviews
Still the best morning show around!
From the shores of DeBellaware to the hills of DeBelarus, this is still the best morning show around! I've been listening to John & his cohorts since way back in the "Morning Zoo" days (at that other station). This is a well-produced, professional show, that still manages to maintain spontaneity each morning! Glad we have a podcast now so I can catch up on the fun that I missed each day while at work!
BOUT TIME
In my personal opinion, it's about time DeBella got a Podcast. This is the highlight of my week. It's the perfect blend of all the crazy stuff that happened during the week. Keep it coming!
