D.B. Nyce Podcast

D.B. had a brilliant idea.

Grab a few of the guys, fly down to Orlando and spend a weekend at Universal Studios.

One problem:

Somebody told the wives.

This week, D.B. & Sherry somehow manage to cover everything from D.B.'s inability to stop making "your mom" jokes to his unhealthy excitement over corn.

On this episode:

• Why D.B. apparently can't stop making "your mom" jokes to his own wife.
• The corn that completely ruined D.B.'s ability to enjoy the beach.
• Buying an expensive adjustable bed and realizing this is apparently what excites you when you're married.
• Should dogs really be allowed to test furniture?
• Why D.B. doesn't understand dogs in strollers.
• Chanel's complicated relationship with car rides and the veterinarian.
• D.B.'s proposed guys' weekend at Universal Studios.
• How the guys' weekend somehow became a couples trip.
• Whether Sherry would actually go to WrestleMania.
• Why D.B. now wants to visit Disneyland in California.
• D.B.'s idea for the world's most average superhero.
• And what happens when D.B. hands Sherry actual lines during the podcast and expects her to play along.

Spoiler: it doesn't go well.

New episodes of D.B. & Sherry are released every Saturday.

D.B. and Ted are back, and this time they're doing something incredibly dangerous: talking about their wives.

What begins with the joys of watching your spouse fight with technology somehow turns into Alexa developing an attitude, D.B. and Ted deliberately trying to convince their phones they're obsessed with adult diapers, and the possibility that they've completely destroyed their social media algorithms.

Then the guys tackle another important question: when you arrive at a hotel, do you unpack—or live directly out of the suitcase like you may need to flee the country at any moment?

On this episode:

• Why D.B. enjoys watching Sherry get "technology miffed."
• Screwing with your spouse while they're using talk-to-text.
• Are our phones actually listening to us?
• D.B. and Ted attempt to flood everyone's algorithm with adult diapers.
• Why D.B. already has plans for his future pimp cane.
• The great vacation unpacking debate.
• Why Ted travels like a carny on the run.
• Can a grown man actually get a good night's sleep on a couch?
• And why D.B.'s body gets offended when he sleeps anywhere but his own bed.

It's another completely normal conversation between D.B. and Ted—which means absolutely nothing stays normal for very long.

Episode 043 | August 16, 2026 – My Last Song in Biloxi

Hurricane Katrina changed everything—including D.B.'s future at 107.1 The Monkey.

With the Gulf Coast struggling to recover and possible layoffs looming at the radio station, D.B.'s boss gave him some unexpected advice: if another opportunity came along, take it.

So D.B. started making calls.

Thanks to a radio friend he'd never even met in person, two opportunities suddenly appeared inside the same building in Florida—and both stations wanted D.B.

On this episode:

• Why Hurricane Katrina forced D.B. to start looking for another radio job.

• The career advice D.B. still believes today: never burn bridges.

• How an online community of radio personalities helped shape D.B.'s career.

• The man D.B. had never met who helped him land his next opportunity.

• Why two program directors in the same building were competing to hire him.

• Choosing nights on Fly 92.1 in Fort Walton Beach, Florida.

• The emotional final broadcast on 107.1 The Monkey.

• Why leaving Biloxi made D.B. feel like he was abandoning the people he'd spent months talking to after Katrina.

• The final song D.B. played before leaving Mississippi.

• Driving into Florida and realizing almost immediately that he'd made the right decision.

• And another temporary hotel stay while D.B. desperately searched for somewhere to live.

Biloxi had become much more than another radio job. It changed D.B.'s career, his relationships, and his understanding of what being a local radio personality could mean.

But eventually, it was time to move on.

And once again, Kelly Clarkson somehow ended up providing the soundtrack.

Next episode: A tragedy at the radio station unexpectedly helps D.B. solve his biggest problem in Florida.

Before D.B. closes the book on Biloxi, Mississippi, there are a few people—and one spectacularly bad prediction—he needs to tell you about.

After the devastation and heavier memories of Hurricane Katrina, this chapter goes back to the people who made D.B.'s time on the Gulf Coast unforgettable.

There's Fat Guy, the intimidating punk-rock-looking radio guy who taught D.B. something unexpected about pedicures.

There's Grady, the ball of energy who helped the new guy from New Jersey discover Biloxi.

And then there's Caroline—a regular caller who became an unofficial character on D.B.'s radio show and knew exactly how to get the phones ringing. Twenty years later, she's built an online following of her own as Mississippi Kween.

But D.B. saved his worst prediction for last.

Back in 2005, an up-and-coming artist recorded a custom liner saying D.B.'s name and promoting his radio show. After Katrina, while cleaning out his desk, D.B. found the CD and threw it away.

Why?

Because he figured she'd probably be a one-hit wonder.

Her name was Rihanna.

Whoops.

On this episode:

• Meet one of D.B.'s favorite characters from his radio career: Fat Guy.
• How a punk-rock-looking dude convinced D.B. to get his first pedicure.
• Remembering Grady and D.B.'s introduction to life on the Gulf Coast.
• How regular callers became unofficial characters on D.B.'s nightly radio show.
• The incredible New Jersey connection D.B. discovered with Caroline.
• How Caroline went from radio-show troublemaker to Mississippi Kween.
• Why radio has always been "theater of the mind."
• And the story of the Rihanna recording D.B. wishes he had kept forever.

Sometimes the things you throw away become a lot more valuable twenty years later.

Next episode: D.B. finally leaves Biloxi—and the Radio Journey heads somewhere completely different.

Hurricane Katrina changed the Gulf Coast forever—and it also changed the way D.B. looked at radio.

After the storm, the normal formats disappeared. It didn't matter whether you worked at the Top 40 station, rock station or country station. People weren't looking for entertainment anymore.

They needed information.

Where could they find bottled water? Food? Shelter? Help?

And suddenly D.B. understood that being a local radio personality meant something much bigger than playing songs and making people laugh.

On this episode:

• What radio sounded like on the Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina.
• Why bottled water became part of everyday life.
• How multiple radio stations came together to serve one community.
• The moment D.B. realized the responsibility that comes with being a local personality.
• Why this Radio Journey isn't about celebrating everything D.B. did right.
• Looking back at mistakes with 20 years of perspective.
• Former coworkers beginning to reconnect after hearing these stories.
• Why D.B. wants to hear other people's versions of the memories he's been sharing.
• And a reflection on Lucas, the program director who hired D.B. in Biloxi, after learning of his passing.

Sometimes you don't understand the importance of a chapter while you're living it.

For D.B., Biloxi became much more than another stop in his radio career.

This is another chapter of D.B.'s Radio Journey. Start with Episode 030 and follow the story from the beginning.
