I Was On Good Day Philadelphia Yesterday!
I know I am typically thought of for being the guy known for his voice, whether it be doing my job here at WMGK as a radio DJ or doing my PA job for the Philadelphia 76ers, but yesterday I had the chance to take my talents to the television side of things!
Well as a guest on the tv show if you want to be technical!
And that show was Good Day Philadelphia on Fox 29!
I want to send a big thank you to the hosts of the show and my friends, Alex Holley and Mike Jerrick, for having me on their show to relive my ceremonial bell-ringing experience from Friday night’s Sixers game!
Alex and Mike have hosted the show since 2014 – almost a decade!
And this is no ordinary show they are hosting – they are hosting the number one rated show in the 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. time slot!
In fact, that is probably putting it lightly…
They absolutely crush the competition in the mornings!
Both are also very active on social media, with Mike having 93.2 thousand followers on Instagram and Alex racking up a huge 305 thousand followers on the platform!
Between the two of them, they have enough Instagram followers to fill up The Linc nearly six times over!
Speaking of The Linc, Mike and I caught an Eagles game together earlier this year with another good friend of mine, restaurant mogul, Rob Wasserman!
Sitting on the set of the show was a great honor…
For Mike that is, as he had the pleasure of sitting next to two different official ceremonial bell ringers for the 76ers as both Alex and I have now had the opportunity to do it!
In all seriousness, it really was an honor to be on their show, and it is just a running joke that Mike hasn’t rung the bell yet!
Hopefully, he gets the chance soon.
Alex and Mike were actually in the building Friday night down at the Wells Fargo Center!
Here’s the three of us pictured on the court with Christian Crosby as well in the red jacket, who is our in-arena host and the best in the NBA at his job. He’s actually going to be doing the All-Star game in Utah this year!
Anyway, the past few days have been awesome from the bell ringing to my appearance on Good Day Philadelphia, and, of course, doing my normal midday show on WMGK!
I want to thank everyone involved for allowing me to ring the bell and be on tv.
Also, I want to thank everyone who was in attendance on Friday night once again, including Rob, who I mentioned earlier, who brought his awesome family for the game, who were all wearing Matt Cord shirts celebrating my 25 years as the 76ers PA announcer!
Life is fun sometimes!
And whoever is going to ring the bell at tonight’s Sixers is going to have a ton of it – speaking from experience!
Will it be Mike???
Tune in to the pregame tonight to find out!
