D.B. Nyce Podcast

D.B. thought he knew what living in Alabama was going to be like. 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 w...

Joe's birthday has officially become an annual event, and that means one thing... JoeMania is back! This week, D.B. and Ted relive last year's wrestling-themed birthday party, talk about their favorite wrestler costumes, and somehow spend most of the episode imagining what life would be like if Macho Man Randy Savage had an everyday job. On this episode: JoeMania 41 becomes official. Memories from...

Radio gave D.B. a career, but it also gave him something he never expected—the chance to experience life far outside the place where he grew up. 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...

After years of chasing the dream, D.B. finally got the opportunity he had always wanted: his own morning show. 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...

D.B. has officially been named White Boy of the Year. 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 ca...

D.B. & Sherry are back together in the newly rebuilt Studio 42—and apparently Sherry has some very specific ideas about who should play them in the movie of their lives. 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 W...

That outrageous phone call you heard on the radio? It might not have been nearly as spontaneous as you thought. 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 wrestlin...

For years, some of D.B.'s radio listeners believed he had a twin sister named Debbie. 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...

No, you didn't miss an episode—and no, The D.B. Nyce Podcast isn't going anywhere. 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 function...

Fifty episodes! 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...

D.B. Nyce had been his radio name for years. 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, b...

By this point in D.B.'s Florida radio career, Fly 92.1 was starting to feel like home—and one of the people helping make it that way was DJ Sudario. 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 st...

For most of D.B.'s life, he'd never really been alone. 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...

D.B. finally has a home in Florida, a routine and a job he loves. 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...

Sometimes the smallest moments change the entire direction of your life. 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...

D.B. had a brilliant idea. Grab a few of the guys, fly down to Orlando and spend a weekend at Universal Studios. One problem: Somebody told the wives. This week, D.B. & Sherry somehow manage to cover everything from D.B.'s inability to stop making "your mom" jokes to his unhealthy excitement over corn. On this episode: Why D.B. apparently can't stop making "your mom" jokes to his own wife. The...

D.B. and Ted are back, and this time they're doing something incredibly dangerous: talking about their wives. 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 a...

Episode 043 | August 16, 2026 – My Last Song in Biloxi 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 per...

Before D.B. closes the book on Biloxi, Mississippi, there are a few people—and one spectacularly bad prediction—he needs to tell you about. 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...

Hurricane Katrina changed the Gulf Coast forever—and it also changed the way D.B. looked at radio. 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. understoo...

Just as D.B. begins to find his footing in Biloxi, Mississippi, something unexpected changes the course of his life forever. What starts as a story about building an audience and finding someone special quickly becomes a story about surviving one of the most devastating natural disasters in American history. On this episode: Meeting the woman who would become Christopher's mother. Using MySpace to...

D.B. finally arrives in Biloxi, Mississippi, ready to begin the next chapter of his radio career—but within hours, he's questioning whether he made the biggest mistake of his life. 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 episod...

After losing his first full-time radio job in Bangor, Maine, D.B. suddenly finds himself back home in New Jersey wondering if his broadcasting career is already over.

For the first time in a while, D.B. and Ted are recording together in the same studio instead of miles apart—and after working two back-to-back events with very little sleep, things quickly go off the rails. On this episode: Why getting older makes late nights feel like a full-contact sport. The reality of bouncing back after staying up until 2:00 in the morning. Why midnight movie premieres just...
