Clear Channel does not endorse or support the opinions of Crash in any way. We just think he f*ckin rocks!!! One of the main questions I always get is, "Dude, is Crash your real name?" The answer to that is a resounding HELL NO! The name Crash actually came from my friend's dog.
(initiate flashback sequence)
It was several years ago and I had been drinking with my college roommate the night before I was due to start at a new radio station. Keep in mind that it is usually not a good idea to start a new job with no sleep and a severe hangover, but this is radio so we'll let that go. Anyway, about 15 minutes before I was scheduled to go on air my new boss came to me and said there was already someone in the market with a name very similar to mine so I had to choose a different one. The pressure was on.
Thanks to my still kinda drunkeness I was not overwhelmed with creative ideas for a name change. In fact, the only that popping into my mind was my stupid roommate's dog, Crash. During our night of debauchery we kept yelling at the dog to stop doing this or stop doing that and all I could hear in my fuzzy head wasCRASH.
Therefore, when I cracked the mic for the first time I uttered the sentence "my name is Crash" and I have been ever since. It wasn't my name; it was my friend's dog. That was almost a decade ago.
Crash the dog is long dead, but his name lives on in infamy through me.
