Show Cast
Aside from Papadakis and Smith, the show features a number of people who have had some function on the show in various means. Almost to a person, everyone has some sort of jingle, provided by singer Steve Bush of the group The Bill Shakespeares. The show's Engineer, Ronnie Facio, is considered the "lynchpin" of the show, not only handling the show's broadcast quality, but also the man responsible for the music played in and out of the show. At the end of each show, Facio cites the "Three Songs" of the day, a selection of music that is highlighted, along with the "playlist" of songs featured that day. Facio is also featured during the weekly segment, "How Was Your Weekend?" which highlights the first hour of the show on Mondays. Facio's colleague and fellow engineer, Kevin Figgers, also contributes to the show, especially when Facio takes the occasional vacation. Figgers, whose jingle refers to his "Deep" roots in South LA, "78th and Vermont," tries to vary his musical style to differentiate from Facio's.
A number of current and former interns to the show are frequent contributors, especially on Fridays, during the "Lessons Learned" segment that anchors the second national hour, all of whom have at some point, been honored with jingles by Bush. Amongst the contributors are:
Missak Tokmanian, Papadakis' former intern during his days at AM1540, Missak became a fixture on the show until 2012, when he left Fox Sports Radio for a position with the lending company 1-800-Loan-Mart. His jingle mentions his now-former position as the show's "Twitter Bandit" and his infamous "Man Date" where he went to dinner with a friend, which had him mocked mercilessly.
"Fully Functional" Adam Ausland: Another former intern who also graduated to full-time employee of the network's flagship. His Jingle is a play on the theme to the seminal Robert Smeigel cartoon featured on the Saturday TV Funhouse segment on Saturday Night Live, the Ambiguously Gay Duo.
Alonso "Gonzo" Nunez: Nunez, who is known best for his many appearances when the show is doing live remotes, is Papadakis' "Bodyguard" and is one of the few non-employees of the show who has a jingle. His jingle highlights his ethnic heritage, political beliefs and occupation all in a five-word jingle. He, along with Tohkmanian and former intern "Frenchie" participate in the lessons learned segment by repeating the lesson number in Spanish, Armenian, French, and other languages, depending on the intern's language prowess. Past interns have added Hungarian, Korean and Japanese to the countdowns in the past.
Don't forget about intern "Tight Pants" Sean, who had a brief fling with former intern Whendii.

Famous quotes containing the words show and/or cast:
“Heaven has its business and earth has its business: those are two separate things. Heaven, that’s the angels’ pasture; they are happy; they don’t have to fret about food and drink. And you can be sure that they have black angels to do the heavy work like laundering the clouds or sweeping the rain and cleaning the sun after a storm, while the white angels sing like nightingales all day long or blow in those little trumpets like they show in the pictures we see in church.”
—Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)
“Why need Christians be still intolerant and superstitious? The simple-minded sailors were unwilling to cast overboard Jonah at his own request.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
