Rob, Arnie and Dawn


Weekdays 5am - 10am
 

 

Contrary to rumors, Rob, Arnie & Dawn are not related to each other, though they are about as close as any two brothers and their neurotic younger sister can be. So what can you expect to hear on our show? Well let's start with what you WON'T hear when you turn us on. You WON'T hear "wacky, morning-zoo" radio. You won't hear bells and whistles, honking horns, "zany" parody songs, or prerecorded laugh tracks (we have Dawn for that). You also won't hear interns standing on street corners trying to get passersby to drink a gallon of bacon grease for "Aerosmith" tickets. And you absolutely, positively will not hear smooth, polished sounding "DJs" with rich, silky voices and fake inflections trying to "sound happy" every moment of their miserable stinking lives. What you will hear is three real human beings, each with their own warped view of the world, each loaded with every flaw and bias imaginable to mankind, duke it out in a public forum for five hours every weekday. There are no rules, and nothing is out of bounds (or below the belt for that matter). We make no apologies for our twisted opinions (we'll leave that for radio station management), and we offer but one, universal disclaimer to anyone who listens to the show: "If we haven't offended you yet, don't worry…we will." We are not a news show, but rest assured, if it's happening in the news you will hear it on our show. We are not a sports show, but if it matters to the sports world, it matters to us. Most importantly, if it's not important to anyone, but is entertaining, you'll definitely hear it on our show. And if you listen to us long enough, you will learn things on the "Rob, Arnie & Dawn" show that no news program could ever teach you. Honestly, where else (besides a college frat house) would you learn the meaning of words like “grudge hump”?

There are only 3 important things to remember on this show:

1) Rob knows everything. Even when he thinks he is wrong (which is only 2% of the time), Rob is always right. Trying to convince him otherwise will result in a headache on your part, and further self-vindication on his.

2) Dawn is insane. At any given moment, she is either feeling guilty, or she is feeling sad that she is not feeling guilty about all the horrible things that happen in the world.

3) Arnie is simple.

Pat Martin


Weekdays 10am - 2pm
 

 
Pat grew up in Lynwood down in Southern California (it's right next to Compton and Watts). As a kid, Pat had 7 bicycles stolen...6 of those with Pat ON the bike! Pat would've been the most famous person from Lynwood High were it not for "Wierd Al" Yankovic.

As a child, Pat appeared on a famous television program, "Art Linkletter’s House Party". It was the segment known as "Kids Say The Darndest Things". (Ironically, Art Linkletter went to San Diego State and was the first ever Program Director of radio station KGB in San Diego. Pat also went to San Diego State and worked at KGB for 10 years.)

Pat's family moved to Orange County where Pat spent his junior and senior years at Magnolia High School in Anaheim, right down the street from Disneyland. Pat then attended Cypress College before transferring to San Diego State (see bio above). (Special thanks to some of my college radio mentors: Dave Luce, Barry Wellman, Keith Royer, Mike Berger, John Mazur, Kim Wilson...thank you all!!!)

Pat's professional radio idols and mentors were Jim Ladd on KMET and KLOS in Los Angeles, Bob Coburn of KMET and Rockline, and Jim McInnes of KGB-FM in San Diego, where Pat also worked. After an outing of drinking one evening, Jim (McInnes) had to cover for an incapacitated Pat by doing a dead-on imitation of him on the air for a couple of hours...and Pat's show never sounded so good!

In 1985, Pat was sent to London England to cover LIVE AID. After interviewing David Bowie and Bob Geldof, Pat sat in the media section to watch the show. Sitting next to him was Jim Henson, creator of The Muppets. The two became friends and stayed in touch with each other until Mr. Henson's death in 1990.

Pat has also interviewed countless rock stars, bands, and celebrities, including Robert Plant, Tom Petty, Pete Townshend, Father Guido Sarducci, Eddie Van Halen, Angus Young, Ozzy Osbourne, and too many others to name. Pat has sung background vocals on stage for Cheap Trick, REO Speedwagon, and Ozzy Osbourne.

Pat has been to well over a thousand concerts in his life, which probably explains his moderate hearing loss. Two of his favorite all time shows are the Rolling Stones at the Forum in Los Angeles and Tool at the Sleep Train Amphitheater.

Pat's band, Animal House, was the first outside band since Johnny Cash in the late 60's to perform inside Folsom Prison.

Pat's personal CD collection is at about six thousand and counting.

Dog Face


Weekdays 2pm - 7pm
 

 

Where do I start - Where it all started? I grew up in the meth and murder capital of the Central Valley, Modesto, Ca on April 26th , 1972. A date you should know, get me something good! And yes, I grew up underneath power lines. If you listen to the show you know I dropped out of school in the 7th grade. I worked construction during and after high school. I worked at Gallo Winery for 3 days. I worked at the Olive Garden for 3 months but it felt like 30 years! I attended MJC for 2 years, and it was there that I knew I would make my 1 listener's life as miserable as possible! I started my radio career at a Spanish station - KTRB. Although Spanish women are hot, I had a slight language barrier, it only lasted a few months. I then got an internship at Rock 104/Rock 95 in, I think, 1993.

I drove the station van, blew up those stupid inflatable animals, handed out stickers, and ran through a parking lot with a cow tongue-necklace as dogs chased me for "Running of the Pit Bulls." I've been a human piñata, a woman, a turkey, and a nudist. I've eaten lion meat, my own pubic hair, other people's pubic hair, and anything hot or gross! I was a stuntman long before a DJ. I produced a morning show, did a morning show, a night show and everything in between. I know everything there is to know about radio - except how to do it good. In 96' I made the biggest mistake of my life; I accepted a job in Portland, OR. I had a good time on the air but the people and state SUCKED! Plus it was back before the F@#$ing Communist Commission regulated our every breath. In 2003 my wildest dreams came true, I was fired!

And well, well, well, here we are. Back home, in one of the greatest places to live in the whole world! YES, I honestly believe that. The only place better than Nor Cal would be the sun, I've heard it's tough to find work there?

I like fast cars, wet beer, and large women. Exactly in that order! Stan Atkinson was a pimp, Margaret Pelley was hot, and Christy Canyon is STILL the second most beautiful woman on the planet. I've seen her naked - in real life, she sat on my lap. I've met Ginger Lynn, Nina Hartley, Ashlyn Geere, Houston, Chasey Lane, Cassidy, Ron Jeremy, AND JENNA JAMESON - she let me massage her bare feet. Haven't washed my hands since. Markie Post, Alyssa Milano, Kirstie Alley, Patricia Heaton, Jami Gertz, Cindy Crawford, and Christie Swanson never did porn but I wish they would! Yet none of them can hold a candle to Kim “The Ass” Kardashian. I am married and would never cheat on my wife, unless it was with one of the chicks mentioned above. I forgot to mention Kyrsti Lynn, she was one of the best ever! My chances of nailing her are the best, she died in 1995. (RIP)

I've had a beer with God/John Force. Michael Andretti is the king of "open wheel." And someday, hopefully, Greg Biffle will win the Sprint Cup. I love cars and all things with engines. I own a 98 Mustang (Cobra). I believe in driving American cars, not cars with American-flag stickers. The price of gas sucks but walking gargles. I use premium with every fill-up. Janet Jackson is a dumb b****. She's made my life hell (on the radio). If I have to worry about getting fined every day, shouldn't we have gotten to see BOTH breasts? I also own a few of her CD's, possessions are combined when you marry... I hate beer in the can because it hurts and a few of my favs are; Michelob, Grolsh, Anchor Steam, and Molson Canadian. If you ever go to Canada, get some Molson Dry - you can't get it here, it's the best ever! I've paid as much as 20 bucks for 12pk! I've been arrested, I like lighting illegal fireworks, I like hard work, yard work, and have done work detail. What ever happened to Capt. Mitch, and Joe Cartione? Why can't we have concerts at Cal Expo anymore? The first and only time I saw Layne Staley with AIC was at Expo, they opened for Van Halen, the GREATEST band to ever use oxygen. That is not an opinion - IT'S A FACT and is not open for discussion - EVER! Eddie signed my guitar. Sometimes I sleep with it - naked! Bill Clinton has good hair. Not as good as Marc Furman's or Scott Baio's, but it's damned good. I have a fascination with male hair, don't have much of my own. I like wine on occasion, screw cap or box, doesn't matter. I've never owned an El Camino, parachute pants, or high top Reeboks. I do however own a bunch of Whitesnake CD's, I saw em at Arco when they opened for Scorps and they SUCKED! GreatWhiteLionSnake is a much better band.

I have an autographed Tesla CD, got David Draiman laid, and played foosball with Tommy Lee. Nobody can beat me at foosball, NOBODY! I'm a master chef, a professional boot-knocker, and a journeyman plumber/carpenter. Ask my wife. Nobody from Redding to Tijuana can grill a better tri tip than I, NOBODY! I used to play drums and thumb wrestle for rent money. I can throw a Frisbee from here to Tijuana, hit a bulls-eye, and make a 9-ball at the same distance! I couldn't hit a golf ball with a snow shovel - golf's GAY! Unless you're drunk and it's miniature... I can also throw a small ball from here to Tijuana too, I love small ball. Ricky Henderson is the greatest! I was at the Coliseum when he broke the stolen base record. I saw Nolan pitch a no-hitter there too! I also saw a lot of the big A's rehab in Modesto, before they moved to Colorado!

DeNiro, Liotta, Cage, and Billy Bob are my boys! Harvey Kytell and Michael Madsen are evil too. I like mob movies or comedies. If Heat were a documentary, Pacino would have died at the end, NOT DeNiro! I cried when Sissy got beat up by Wes Hightower in Urban Cowboy. Yeah, I know Cage was in Fast Times, and is anything cooler than seeing a guy getting stabbed in the throat with a pen? Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, and Vince Vaughn can do no wrong - except Dodgeball, way to corny, even for me. Is Molly Ringwald still hot? And no one that walks upright and shares oxygen with Van Halen is funnier than Letterman. I have a Hot Wheel collection. I go to car shows. I would steal a Ford GT. I knew a gut that stole a Mustang GT. I had an 88' Hurricane and a 90' CBR. I loved the looks of those bikes. I want a 90' VFR 750. I would love a chopper with a built S&S and a 280 in back. But, unless it's in the trunk of the Ford GT it aint happenin anytime soon. Reno's a toilet. Tahoe is tolerable, especially with Tahoe Wabo, and Vegas is money baby. I hate gambling.

What else do you want? I’m a conservative Liberal, I like Dr. Pepper and Coke. I'm circumcised, like my son. He'll be 7 in September. It's true, kids really are miracles. I don't think you can truly understand love or life until you give life to someone else. It's amazing. And one more thing, if you can't pronounce the state in which you live, you shouldn't be allowed to govern it! And yes, I'm ho tested and playa approved.

Joe Maumee


Weekdays 2pm - 9pm
 

 
It all started about 33 years ago when my father was inebriated, my mother was passed out and condoms were obviously forgotten! After 9 months of screaming, crying, cursing and never forgetting condoms again, Joe was born.

Life has been pretty ordinary from that point on! I grew up in the middle of farmland Indiana, where cow tipping and spying on buddies' naked sisters through bedroom windows were favorite past times. Just kidding (not really). High school was like high school for most guys (and one or two of you ladies). I drank, partied and lost my virginity more than one time, I think! I also rode and raced motocross for a number of years.

Then there was college. I went to Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. College was great, I think! From what I can remember, I did my fair share of partying! That was actually where I got my start in Radio, as I worked at the college station for 3 years. Realizing that I was in need of money (to keep up party habits and whatnot), I tried several jobs including being a poster child for an anti-smoking campaign, dressing in a chicken costume for children's birthday parties, selling cologne, Life Insurance, used auto parts, clothing & hell well I think you get the picture. I even tried my hand at bartending!

Finally, some confused and deranged individual decided to give me a shot at radio. My first job was in Chicago, Illinois. I really wanted to be in radio. About after, I moved from Chicago to Fort Wayne, Indiana where my career in Rock Radio began. I was in Fort Wayne for 10 months and then I received the greatest career opportunity I could imagine - the chance to move to California and play music for you on 98 Rock! The last 5 years have been a blast. I married the most beautiful woman in the world on Sept. 27th of ’08! A day of days! We have two dogs, Tucker and Taylor. They are both rescue dogs and I’m gonna be straight with you here, Tucker is possibly the best dog EVER! Taylor isn’t that bad either..hahaha I spend most of my time with my family and friends. I love riding my motorcycle. I have a Suzuki Blvd. M109R, badass machine! Skiing and snowboarding n the Winter, or what’s left of our Winters, and the beaches and lakes in the Summer! A lot of people ask me why I’m so happy all the time and I tell them, ” I’m living my dream”! I can’t wait to see what happens from here.

Mikey


Weekdays 9pm - 2am
 

 

The basics:
I was born and raised in the city of rock-n-roll Cleveland, Ohio! I realize that’s nothing to really be proud of but there are places that suck worse…Vacaville for example. For as long as I can remember I have always wanted to work in radio; when I was a kid I would pretend to be the DJ on-air and listened very closely to everything they said so I could someday be one of the VERY best… that day has yet to come. I love music, I play the drums and in my free time I like to attempt to create my own music. I love tattoos and have a few; I plan on getting a bunch more. I don’t get any of the cheesy flash art they have on the walls in the shops I like to create my own and there’s nothing sexier than a girl with tattoos. I like to meet new people so if I am hosting an event you should come and say hi.

How I got here:
Other then interning at a couple of lame radio and TV stations in Cleveland my very first gig was on a brand new station called Xtreme Radio (it’s gone now). I started out on the very bottom and had to kiss a lot of ass (witch I HATE) to actually get to do anything. Eventually I started to move up in the radio world, once people started to understand how awesome I am hahaha j/k. Seriously though it took some time, working late nights on weekends and getting up early to do some lame promotion and then coming back to kiss ass, its hard damn work. But it all paid off when I was finally on the air all the time and producing commercials. All good things come to an end though; the station let me go and eventually switched formats. Being jobless SUCKS so what did I do? I became a mover. It was tough work but it paid great and I did that for almost 2 years and hated it, that’s when I really focused on getting a new radio gig and I did. I moved to Elko, NV hahahaha yep Elko meth central and nothing but miners and prostitutes. WOW did that suck BAD! I worked for a complete a-hole who knew nothing about radio all he knew was how to sell and all we did was argue constantly about EVERYTHING until he fired me and then everyone else that worked there quit, sucks to be that guy. So I moved back to Cleveland for about a week and got this gig here in Sac at 98 Rock. And I LOVE IT. This town is great and the people I have met are awesome. Give me your feedback, tell me if I suck, tell me if I rock, just tell me something!

Leeanne


Saturdays 10a - 3p  Sundays 3p - 6p
 

 

My name is Leeanne, I am a Bay Area transplant (grew up in Dublin, about 2 miles away from Rob.....) who started radio in Hayward, CA playing punk and ska, and did some overnights (and other shifts no one else would do) in San Francisco.

Quick and to the point, I am one of those few people who actually mean it when they say they listen to everything. I had 3 older sisters and an older brother who shoved everything down my throat from ABBA and Fleetwood Mac, to RUSH, Styx, and Slayer. In fact one of my first memories is my older brother turning off the Muppet Show, which I was watching, to play RUSH's 2112 on the family stereo. Well after that...... I was a RUSH fan at 5.

I have been wearing jeans and concert shirts since I was about 10, and it would take a 7 figure salary to get me to change. I think that’s why I am in radio. When I am not doing fun stuff at 98 Rock, you can find me drinking heavily and spinning punk and metal wherever they will let me or wherever they will pay me (what can I say, I am a "DJ whore") or just drinking heavily at a show somewhere, anywhere....

Brian Haley


Sundays 8am -12pm
 

 
 
My name is Brian Haley and let’s be honest here, I say words and I push buttons. It’s not exactly rocket science.  But, more importantly I’m here to entertain you. I’m from the East Bay (925).  When I was a wee lad, watching football with my pa, I used to always pretend that I was ESPN’s Chris Berman, sports commentating on the biggest “PLAYS OF THE DAY!”  The dream continued to develop a couple years after high school, in which I went to DVC, in Concord, CA and took various classes on music production.

FAST FORWARD: I decided to try my hand at radio and joined the KVHS radio class at 90.5 THE EDGE a student run radio station in Concord, CA. There I learned everything I needed to know about radio, including running a radio station, being a music director, and how to be an on-air personality. It was hard work, but kicked ass and I knew that this was what I wanted to do with my life!

So I followed my yellow brick road to San Francisco working with an alternative rock station’s morning show for a few years. And once that ended, I made my way up north, because someone has to keep Rob, Arnie, and Dawn and you the listeners from saying bad words and that super hero is me. You may call me The Enemy or The Wart, which is much easier than my technical title of “Content Supervisor” (huh???).

I’m also livin’ the dream of pushing buttons and saying stuff into a mic at 98 ROCK for both mine and your enjoyment and I couldn’t be happier!

Oh by the way, no homo, but you can “Twitter” me at http://twitter.com/985brian

When I’m not at the station, you can find and join me in cursing like a sailor at various sports bars downtown.  My favorite movie’s are Fight Club, Anchorman, and Boiler Room…favorite TV show’s are all of Animation Domination, Entourage, and CSI…it varies, but at this moment in time my iPod consists of NIN, Merle Haggard, Blood Hound Gang, Jay-Z, Pearl Jam, and Killswitch Engage!

Wanna know more, hit me up…Cheers!

Sundays  12a - 3a, 6p - 12a
 

 

I grew up in South Sac and as a young kid I didn't think I even liked music. This was mostly 'cause everyone seemed to be into hip hop and Top 40. Even as a 9-year-old little girl I knew that music sucked (why doesn't everyone else?). Then I discovered 98 Rock. Holy crap. I remember being 12 years old, listening to Drowning Pool's "Bodies" and thinking I love rock music! As I got older I tuned in more and more and I grew up listening to Pat Martin, Dog Face, and Joe Maumee.

It's sort of funny how I got into radio because I never thought it was something I could do. My radio career began after I won an old contest 98 Rock used to do called "The Ten Demandments". I was just done with high school, so when I came by the station to pick up my prize I filled out an application and 98 Rock hired me as an intern (with all my years of zero experience). So I worked my way from the very bottom, and now I'm working with these giants of DJs (and I was born in the same year PM started working for 98!)
I'm here for the music. Every form of rock is cool, and I love finding out the stories behind bands/songs. It's a hobby of mine to interpret song lyrics and from time to time I write blogs about different song meanings. The best part is talking to listeners about the music, so if you have a question or an opinion talk to me! Call in or email me.
