Fake Ass Wheel blog by Hoch…

Oh the glory! The Dan LeBatard Show has debuted a brand new feature, and it’s going to take the nation by storm. It’s “The Fake Ass Wheel.” Yes, you can play “The Fake Ass Wheel” on the Dan LeBatard Show and nowhere else. It’s ours. No one else can have it.

Here’s how it works: You call in… Dan asks if you want to spin “The Fake Ass Wheel”… You either reply, “No, I don’t want to spin your fake ass wheel. I’d rather play with my grapes.” Or, you reply with, “Sure, I’d love to spin ‘The Fake Ass Wheel.’” Upon agreeing to spin “The Fake Ass Wheel,” hijinx are sure to ensue.

We have a sound effect of a wheel spinning, and when it stops Dan arbitrarily decides what you’ve won. It might be a crappy prize like a Mike Lowell Whiffle Ball set… or it might be something great like Dolphins tickets. Why is it called “The Fake Ass Wheel?” Because there is no real wheel. It’s fake. It’s just a sound effect. It’s a fraud. The whole show is a fraud. Nothing on the show is real. In fact, Dan LeBatard isn’t really even here most days. It’s usually Edwin Pope pretending to be Dan.

Anyway, you can spin “The Fake Ass Wheel” only on The Dan LeBatard Show. We’re proud of it. We take ownership of it. We defy any radio show to come up with something more creative. I’m talking to you Joe Bell.
