Not Sure How We Got Here But OUCH!

Clearwater Beach brings singing to WiLD with us finding out that the rookie has been training his karaoke pipes for a championship belt. Apparently Hogan’s Hangout is the scene of the crime and Monday nights there’s a challenge to win the big, snazzy belt, from the WWE Hall of Famer. There’s no way we could hear all of this and not ask for a sample. You know how they say “watch what you ask for”? That’s exactly what was going thru our minds as the Usher classic “Nice & Slow” became a bootleg rendition we’ll now call “Not Nice But Slow“. You may never see a music video for this version so we’ll let it live here. Locate you volume before starting the video. You’ve been warned as Clearwater Beach brings singing to WiLD.

Meredith has made it known that she was “in the choir for three years”. Are your eyes rolling like ours? However when she sings along, we see zero evidence. Yet, when the shenanigans begin, somehow we end up with some help from the show’s First Lady. A lifetime ago, the show had Special Ed and Navaho who sang equally as bad. They still had the confidence of a kid getting a treat after a first successful poop potty visit. Fans who remember started the requests of a reboot after the howling began. Jury’s out on that one. Many of us Tampa people know of Hulk Hogan and his back issues. I’m thinking his ears will make the medical reports next!

Orlando Davis is host of “Orlando and the Freakshow” on WiLD 94-1. He has been with the station for the past 26 years and is the station's award-winning Program Director of the year numerous times, as well as other titles. Working closely with record labels and artists, a lot of Orlando's content comes from those conversations and access. However, helming the Bay's craziest morning show makes way for lots of local influence in what he brings to the WiLD content team. Inside and outside of the studio, O is never shy to share.

1. Hurricane Party
If you’ve lived in Florida long you know we deal with hurricane season every year. Some people are extra prepared for it to begin and most of us just wing it! As a matter of fact, depending on the category we either host a hurricane party or go to one we’ve been invited to by our friends. We most likely know we’ll lose power so bring a flash light, a 12 pack and lets party!

2. Seeing Alligator In The Wild
Alligator are everywhere in Florida and like to hide in retention ponds or even golf courses. Your chances of seeing one in the wild are pretty high! Alligators are known for their aggressive behavior and there’s been many encounters with humans in the new recently. Gators will most likely attack when they feel threatened. If you live in the state of Florida it’s important to understand their behavior and take necessary precautions to stay safe especially in alligator infested lakes.

3. Waffle House After The Club
It doesn’t have to be after the club necessarily, it could be a night out drinking. But a main staple here in Florida is to hit up a Waffle House early in the morning or if you’re dealing with a horrible hangover.

4. Catching Lizards
If there’s one thing we have it’s an abundance of lizards everywhere! They’re always running around and when it’s mating season you see them stick out their red throats looking for love. One thing we always did as kids was catching the lizards and then we would wear them as earrings. We’d gently open their mouths and have them hang off our finger or ear.

5. Ordering Publix Sub
This isn’t even a question. If you grew up in Florida you have a favorite Pub sub. Even though they’re all delicious it’s a must to eat one every month. They’re the best!

6. Shooting Guns
Whether you’re going to the gun range or practicing outside Florida is known for their guns. If you’ve lived here for a while most likely you’ve had some target practice.

7. Stuck In Disney I-4 Traffic
Whether you’re driving to Disney, Universal or Sea World you will 100% get caught in I-4 traffic. It doesn’t matter the time of day or night because there’s so many Florida visitors that have no idea where they’re driving. Always give yourself extra time when driving through or to Orlando.

8. Scary Weather Turns Beautiful In Minutes
It could look like a tropical storm outside especially in Summer but wait 5 minutes and it’ll be gone! You might not believe me. If you’re a true Floridian you’ve seen this happen more times than not.

9. ZigZag Run From Gators
When living in Florida you might learn about a lot of myths and one big one is the Zigzag run. Growing up you always hear that if an alligator runs at you, you should run in a zigzag pattern. This will help you avoid getting caught because they can’t follow you. FALSE! In fact, alligators can reach speeds of 25 mph, so you need to run as fast as you can, away from an alligator in a straight line if possible.
