About Zino's top 10

It all started with the Padres and their losing ways... They inspired me to write a list of reasons why they stunk. I was laughing out loud writing it, yes I know I laugh at my own jokes, and thought it might be fun to share the list with others.
I love the Scott & BR show on XX1090 am, my kids and I listen to it every morning on the way to school, and so I thought the two of them reading it on their show would really be fun. I sent the list to Scott and Marty (morning show producer), and was surprised to quickly get a positive response from Scott. There was one catch though, he wanted me to do it on the air...
I can have a fairly thick accent, particularly early in the morning, but Scott really wanted me to do it, and so I did. It was apparently well received, although I think they liked the name zino more then the top 10 list, and so they wanted me to do it again and so I did...
I sent the 2nd radio bit to a few friends and they all wanted me to keep sending it to them. I created this blog to share the lists with them and all the Scott & BR fans.
Please jump in and comment, on the lists or anything you care about, I enjoy the feedback...

Top 10 reasons Plaxico Burress shot himself

This week was a lot of fun. I put the topic and a few of the reasons Plaxico shot himself up on the great friend forum in the Scott & BR website... The traffic on that website is anemic, but it still got some 120 views and at last check. Anyway I put up a poll for the great friends to vote on some of the reasons I was on the fence with.... The one that won made it as #10...
The show was also fun, but the producer called me the day before and wanted me to do it at 6:10 am, so I am sure a lot of the regular listeners missed it. Anyway here is the list as well as a few extras... Click here to listen to the show

10) He shot himself in self defense!

9) Coach Tom Coughlin told him...he better have a good excuse next time he needs to miss a team meeting…
8) He invested all 35 million dollars from his last contract in AIG and Lehman Brothers
7) He wants to be traded the Bengal's or Cowboys next year
6 ) Pac Man Jones double dared him to do it!
5) He and Antonio Pierce were sipping vodka cranberries, listening to Lil Wayne, and had hoochies grind them …the brother shot his load…
4) He was desperate for Eli Manning to pay attention to him
3) Rumor has it OJ had someone shoot him because he had stolen some of his memorabilia...
2) Every one should carry a gun for protection sometimes, all of the time, most of the time

1) He heard he was going to be traded to the chargers!

Here are the leftovers ....
He was practicing an end zone celebration dance
He bought the gun to go hunting with Dick Cheney
He was scratching a bad case of jock itch
He shot heself but he didn't shoot no deputy
T.O. was getting to much attention
He wanted to be called oucho cinquo

My last two top 10 lists


This has been a fun week. I went in studio at the request of the producer. I had three lists ready and he wanted Scott and BR to chose... This turned into my longest appearance on the show ( 15 minutes). As always things did not go as planned and some funny stuff came out of it. I had also brought in some Texas style donuts. Scott and BR could not believe the size of them.


Top 10 candidates for Aztecs oversight committee. Take a listen


The week before was also fun, but I initially, I was not to happy.... I received a request the day before to do a list on the Padres rescinding their offer to Trevor Hoffman. It preempted a couple of lists I had ready to go that I was happy with. Thankfully, the list wrote itself and it ended up a pretty good show.


Top 10 reasons Padres rescinded Trevor Hoffman's offer. Take a listen


We took a couple of pics we took while I was in studio. The one you see here is with Scott. I had one with both Scott and BR but it did not come out right.

Catch up top 10 lists

I have not done good job updating the blog lately and feel bad about it, some of you made sure I felt bad, lol.... I think I am behind by 5 or more lists. In order to catch up I will post all of the missing lists today. A lot has happened since I last posted. One thing that I am very happy about is an increased participation by the listeners. In fact 3 of the lists were inspired by fans of the Scott and BR show. Including Tom who is always on top of the Padres and Mike who has made hating the Patriots an art form. I am adding his blog to the list of blogs. This has made me realized that I must get Scott & BR to add the blog to their website. Anyway, over this quiet blog time, I've had what I think is my best list as well as a couple of stinkers. I wont say which one I liked best and will let you figure it out. I've also added the ability to subscribe to the blog, so that you are notified when I have a new post, go to the bottom of the page and click on the subscribe "post" link.

Top 10 reasons Chargers lost the game

This was a fun week. The list was well received but I threw them a curve ball. As you know, if you are a regular listener to the show, Scott & BR always complain that my number 10 is better then my number one. So this time, after writing the list, I reversed the order. Well wouldn't you know it, they still liked the number 10 better. I'll let you imagine what that means, lol... Next week, I am pulling the order out of a hat...

Top 10 reasons Chargers lost the game

1) Trevor came in as a nickel back on the last play
2) Padres talent scouts were very impressed with Matt Wilhelm speed
3) Even Miss Teen South Carolina knows Norv is going to run LT on first down
4) Cromartie should try getting one interception before thinking of the NFL record
5) Winning did not work to get a new stadium, so now they are trying out a new strategy
6) Wanted to show solidarity with the Padres and Aztecs
7) Eric Wedle might be shorter then Bob Costas
8) Meriman insistence on playing with a bum knee
9) Norv Turner genius play calling on 1st downs

And the number on reason Chargers lost the game

10) Ted Cotrell bend over and hand over the lube defense

Top 10 reasons I had more fun going to the Del Mar races then going to Petco

Wednesday was the last day of the races at Del Mar, so I thought it apropos to do something on horse racing. I truly enjoy going to the races, its a beautiful setting and this year, I even won an $84 exacta. In addition my wife and I go there every year at the Turf Club, we bid on that at the charity dinner at our kids school and always end up getting it... I always tell my wife its for a good cause. So here it is, and if you prefer to listen to it click on the link below the list.

Top 10 reasons I had more fun going to the Del mar races then going to Petco

10) The Padres suck
9) At Petco you can’t bet on the guy rounding third and heading for home plate
8) Better looking hats
7) they don’t stop serving beer after the seventh race
6) You can’t whip the players to make them run faster
5) Gorgeous women with tanned legs, in short summer dresses
4) You were virtually assured to make money if you bet on a GFS horse
3) You are likely to run into Scott tearing up his betting tickets
2) If a horse gets hurt, you can put him down
1) There was actual speed on the field

I am having a tough time uploading this week's mp3 of the radio show, but I will continue to try...

Top 10 reasons moneyball is not working for the Padres

This was very exiting this week... It was a first... This topic was the first topic I did that was suggested by a listener to the show. His name is Tom, and he is actually very well versed on the topic and has a wicked sense of humor. He is the only person I know that actually read the money ball book. So thank you Tom... Here is the list...


Top 10 reasons Moneyball is not working for the Padres

10) Sandy and Paul mis-remembered what the computer said, it predicted 90 losses not 90 wins….
9) The bash brothers Dan Mcguire and Jose Canseco retired
8) Padres money ball formula: 1000 strikeouts + no team speed = 100 team losses
7) There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and Padres front office moneyball stats
6) In money ball, looking at strike one, strike two, strike 3, means having plate discipline.
5) Looking at strike 1, strike 2, and a swing and a miss for strike 3 means being patiently aggressive
4) http://www.advancedscouts.com/ predicts Padres will lose 100 games this season
3)BALCO and Victor Conte were big sponsors of moneyball in Oakland
2) Padres money ball players have 5 tools. High SO’s, no speed, Power with no one on base, low BA, and most importantly cheap to sign

And the number 1 reason Moneyball is not working for the Padres

1) Becky plays the only real money ball in the organization. She’s got John by the balls and she gets ½ his money

Alternate: Padres should've built training facility in Jamaica not Dominican republic

I ended up using the alternate instead of the Canceco. I was glad, since it was very well received. Like an idiot I forgot to mention Tom's name. I had asked Tom if I could mention his name, he had said ok but only after I did the top 10... Well, when I finished the top 10 Scott through me a curve, by making me repeat the #1 reason and it rattled me enough to forget to mention Tom's name.. I will do it next week.
Take a listen to the show...

Top 10 things we learned from the Beijing Olympics

First, I must apologize for being a week late in updating the blog. This was a last minute topic suggested by my ML broker ( he must've felt bad for me, losing me all this money in the market), just kidding Jay... Anyway, I enjoyed this topic a lot, probably could've done a couple of top 10's on it. I really feel bad about missing on the basketball team from spain poking fun at the Chinese in the infamous add photo. I should've had a line for that... My SIL remind me of that... Anyway here is the top 10...
Top 10 things we learned from the Chinese Olympics

10) In China 13 is the new 16…
9) China opening ceremony organizers used same voice coach as Milli Vanilli
8) Gymnast Shawn Johnson is taller then Bob Costa
7) George bush is a no Bill Clinton. How can he pass patting Misty May’s butt?
6) In my next life I want to be a camera man for beach volleyball
5) They took dog off the menu in the Beijing restaurants but a few showed up in the women’s marathon.
4) Matt Vasgersian needs Mud to be funny
3) French found a new way to spell retreat – Smash
2) Danna Torres in one fine MILF

And the number 1 thing we learned from the Beijing Olympics...

1) Who the heck is Mary Carrillo and why is she preempting Olympic coverage?

Anyway, all went well... They found my pronunciation of Beijing hilarious and took full comedic advantage. Enjoy listening to it here

Top 10 ways to increase attendance at Petco

I haven't updated the blog for a while... But you haven't missed much. In addition to being preempted by Jim Lampley two weeks ago, imagine that zino being preempted by Jim lampley, lol, I took a week of last week... The Padres remain an endless source of material for me, so for this week I decided to do the "Top 10 ways to increase attendance at Petco". Here is the list....

10) Give our catchers a slingshot to throw out runners

9) Hooters restaurant inside Petco

8) Offer a gallon a gas with every hot dog purchase

7) Borrow the Chargers cheerleaders to lead the 7th inning stretch

6) Have Marty streak naked through the stadium

5) Add a $1/ball dunk tank with Sandy Alderson on the hot chair

4) Field an all Gonzales lineup

3) Resign Brocail, Blum, and Cameron

2) Padres players need to stop catching the ball with their faces

And the number one way to increase attendance at Petco is…

1) Let the fans vote who should get the owner’s box, Becky or John


Alternate: Free beer every time we steel a base
Alternate: Let a real baseball team like the Angels play at Petco

I ended up replacing number (2) with the second alternate. The show went very well and there was a lot of banter with Scott & BR. This is still a lot of fun, so I plan on doing it again next week. Again, any blog reader, please jump in with suggestions for top 10 lists... Take a listen to the show.

Top 10 reasons the Padres should bring back Phil Nevin

Scott and BR went on vacation, Scott for two weeks and BR for just one. Originally, I had planned to also take two weeks off, but when BR came back, I found out from Ryan the producer, that Phil Nevin was going to co-host. I couldn't pass up the idea of doing "The top 10 reasons the Padres should bring back Phil Nevin....

To listen to the list on the radio show, its a lot more fun then reading, click here....Take a listen

Top 10 reasons Padres should bring back Phil Nevin

10) He would actually make contact with the ball with a runner on third and nobody out

9) He would slap Kevin Tower silly if he acquired or even looked at another relief pitcher

8) Sandy said he could double as an advance scout for the Padres

7) He would add speed to the current line up

6) Maddux might actually win another game this year…

5) We would not have to listen to him on the radio anymore

4) He would actually get upset and show some fire when we lost a game

3) He promised not to complain about Petco park anymore

2) He batted .274 with 12 Hr and 33 RBI in only 176 AB’s in 2006 with Chicago. That would rank him 3rd in Hr’s and RBI’s with our current roaster

And the number one reason Padres should bring back Phil….

1) He would be the best catcher on the team right now

All went well, I had a lot of fun doing it and it sounded like Phil enjoyed it, but I am looking forward to having Scott back next week.

Top 10 reasons Obama will choose Hillary as his running mate

I've had this list for a while, it kept getting bumped by other lists. Last week, the people spoke and by an overwhelming vote ( I think 6 people voted, including me, lol) chose this topic...

Top 10 reasons Obama will choose Hillary as his running mate:

10) Chelsey wants to be a white house intern if her Mom gets the job

9) In case of an attempt on his life, Hillary will draw all the sniper fire.

8) She is not Dick Cheney

7) Bill won’t spend anytime in DC while Hillary is there

6) Reverend Wright recommended her

5) She has pictures of him inhaling

4) He wants to see a cat fight between Michelle and Hillary

3) He will always look good standing next to her

2) Hillary makes a really good fried chicken with collard green


And the number one reason Obama will choose Hillary as his running mate …


1) They both believe that... Ebony and Ivory can live together in perfect harmony…

The blog readers get an advantage over just listening on the radio... Here are a few extras that didn't make the cut... I was partial to the cattle futures contracts one but I am not sure people would still remember, my other favorite one was the blue dress but it didn't make the cut because I had done a similar one on a previous list on Hillary.

Bonus
Michelle wants her advice on how to keep the interns and bimbo’s away
Hillary knows how to make money trading cattle futures contracts
Hillary knows her way around the white house kitchen
She has a blue dress that he really likes….
She reminds him of his mother
He always wanted to have a Menage a trois

Anyway, the show went great, I can interact with them so much better when they are in studio... When they go on location, I have difficulties hearing. Scott really wanted to hear my bit on Trevor Hoffman but I did not have it printed, so I would have had to turn on the computer etc..., and it would have taken to long. I thought the bit was very funny including the parody on the Fuzzy Zeller / Tiger Wood controversy of a few years back. Scott & BR immediately got it which was good, otherwise it could have been misinterpreted. Take a listen, it was a fun one...

Top 10 signs NBA games are fixed

This was my most difficult week by far... The family and I moved to Carmel Valley in San Diego, so it has been an incredibly hellish 2 weeks... Thankfully I was was inspired to do a top 10 list by the master himself, David Letterman... He did a list on the top 10 signs an NBA game is fixed, I thought it was pretty lame so I decided to show that mine would be better... So here is the head to head comparison. My signs are the ones that follow the numbers. Please vote on who you think has the better list... I think I have him beat on at least 8 of the signs. But you decide and vote on the poll that I have set up. Thanks.

Top 10 signs an NBA game is fixed or NBA finals are fixed…..

Dave: Game begins 20 minutes before visiting team arrives

Zino: 10)David Sterns real name is Rocco Gambini

Dave: Tip-off always goes to the player with the largest salary

Zino: 9) Game refs wear tee-shirts that say what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas

Dave: At the end of the first quarter, the score is 179 to 2

Zino: 8) Sicily is getting the first international NBA team

Dave: Missed three-pointers count for two points if they're "pretty close"

Zino: 7)Refs called a technical on the Lakers cheerleader for excessive cheers

Dave: One of the Laker Girls looks suspiciously like Pete Rose

Zino: 6) Celtics hired Bill Belichick as special advisor

Dave: Whenever he's open, referee takes a shot

Zino: 5) Referee keeps tapping Paul Pierce on the butt

Dave: Scoreboard has disclaimer: "All Scores Approximate"

Zino 4) Scoreboard shows final score at the end of the third quarter

Dave: The team loses even though it led in points, delegates and the popular vote

Zino: 3)Overtime in Boston is decided by fan voting

Dave: Jack Nicholson scores 25 points from his seat

Zino: 2)Jack Nicholson has his money on Boston

Dave: The Knicks win

1) The Celtics win….

Anyway, hope you had fun with this little twist this week. I do not have a good MP3 of the radio show to post this week, but you are not missing anything. I really wasn't very good, mainly because for the second week in a row, I could not hear Scott or BR very well. The Mp3 I got from 1090 was cutoff so I requested an other one and will post it as soon as I get it.

Top 10 reasons US Open officials paired Tiger and Phil in the first 2 rounds

I had two lists this week, the first one was "Reasons why Obama should chose Hillary as his running mate". The other was about the US Open and I started working on it, literally the day before, and because Scott & BR were broadcasting from the Open, I ended up going with it. There was really no big controversies about the Open, the pairing of Tiger and Phil was the closest thing that I could come up with. Here is the list...

Top 10 reasons US Open officials paired Tiger and Phil in the first 2 rounds

10) Give Phil another chance to make fun of tiger's equipment
9) It's the only way Phil will get paired up with woods during the open
8) Keep up the interest of the fickle San Diego fans
7) No one cares about any of the other golfers
6) They had so much success playing together in the Ryder cup
5) ESPN doesn't have enough golf analysts to follow them separately
4) It's the only way Chris Berman agreed not to use their nicknames on the air.
(here I wanted Scott or BR to ask what the nicknames are)..Tiger "got some" Wood and Phil "my tank" Mickelson
3) No need for audio equipment to pick up conversations. They hate each other
2) ESPN wants fans to text vote for their favorite blond wife

And the number one reason US Open officials paired Tiger and Phil is...

1) So that Phil can get some tips on how to play the 18th hole at the US open.

The bit went over very well and everyone was happy with it except for me... I did not sound right, when I laughed it sounded like a Hyena and for whatever reasons, I could not hear them very well, so I missed a couple of marks... But I think the list itself saved the day. Take a listen...

Top 10 reasons the Padres are not bringing up Chase Headley

I had a great time this morning on the show. Scott and BR were on, and Pratty did a god job with the sound effects. I missed when I brought up the Open thing, there was a joke behind it but I didn't pull the trigger soon enough... Anyway, here is the list...

Top 10 real reasons why Padres are not bringing up Chase Headley

10) He won’t fit in with the team, he doesn’t strike out enough

9) Marty has a thing for P-mac and doesn’t want to see him released

8) It might hurt Scott Hairston’s feelings

7) He reminds KT too much of Phil Nevin

6) They don’t want to hurt the attendance in Portland

5) They are waiting until after the divorce to see if John Mores can still afford him

4) Mayor Sanders heard that Headley supports Steve Francis

3) He is not a relief pitcher with an ERA above 5.00

2) They are waiting for the steroids to clear out of his body

And the number one reason the Padres are not bringing up Headley is….

1) Chase refuses to come up because he doesn’t want to get any more special hugs from Giles

Funny part is that when I am on the radio, it is difficult to really know how the bit really went. I just listened to this top 10 list and I think it's the best one I've done so far. Take a listen

Wednesday, May 28, 2008

In the coming weeks....

Please feel free to make topic suggestions, either in the comment section or by email. My email can be found in the profile.

Coming soon: Top 10 reasons...

- The Padres are not bringing up Chase Headley (6/4/08)
- To re-elect Michael Aguirre
- Why Scott & BR is best radio show in town
- Why we need a strong mayor
- Why McCain isn't to old to be president
- To sleep with zino ( Already compiled, but the list is to large, I am having trouble cutting down to 10)
- To play golf at Torrey Pines
- The Padres stink, part deux
- Kobe Bryant is a team player
- Why gas prices are so high
- To take your date to Bertrand at Mr A's
- The Chargers will win the Super Bowl next year

Top 10 reasons to build a new stadium for the Chargers

This has been a hotly debated issue in San Diego... It often comes up for discussion on the Scott & BR show... I thought it would be good to add my perspective and bring fresh topics to the discussion....

Top 10 reasons to build a new stadium for the Chargers

10) We built one for the Padres and they are not even good

9) Michael Aguirre might commit Hari-Kari

8) We could build a section for the Raiders fans with a trap door

7) Scott & BR will get a luxury suite for all the great friends

6) Ryan Leaf will never throw a pass in the new stadium

5) Bill Werndl will volunteer to be a tackling dummy for LT and Brees

4) AJ Smith might crack a smile

3) Stadium will feature a Philip Rivers fan interaction fun zone

2) New stadium will have rotating charger girls stage with a stripper pole

And the number one reason to build the Chargers a new stadium is…

1) Marty might finally get the Chargers players to return her calls


The show went well and was a lot of fun... Although I felt a little rushed. We started a bit late and they might have been coming up on a break, so we didn't have much banter after I did the top 10 list... Hopefully Marty ( the producer) is not to upset with me, and also hope she agrees to do the top 15 reasons to sleep with zino next week, lol...
Anyway here is the show, take a listen....

Top 10 reasons Hillary Clinton refuses to quit

This week I tackled an issue of national importance on the Scott & BR show... Why does Hillary refuses to quit the race? I think with these top 10 reasons, we really got to the bottom of the issue...
Top 10 reasons Hillary refuses to quit the race

10) If she stops campaigning, she would have to return home to Bill...
9) Her favorite fantasy is having sex in the oval office with an intern
8) Bill taught her that a Clinton never admits to defeat…Or to anything else for that matter
7) She has a blue dress that she thinks Vice President Obama will really like….
6) She needs to have the secret service presidential detail to keep track of Bill’s whereabouts
5) John McCain is still paying her to stay in the race
4) Monica promised her a cigar if she made it to the white house
3) She wants to retrieve some of the whitewater documents she left behind in the white house basement
2) Bill told her the presidential gig is a great way to meet chicks

And the number one reason Hillary refuses to quit is…

1) As long as she keeps running, the snipers won’t get her


Bonus: One of my favorite reasons was cancelled for being a bit to risque for the show, but I can share it with you here... The other one I just didn't have room for.
- She never got a chance to blow anyone in the oval office
- Why should Ralph Nader be the only one to prevent a democratic candidate from becoming president

Big thanks to Shultzy, MF, VE, and JG... They all have made great contributions to the list either by editing, contributing, or just being a sounding board. Take a listen to how it all came out on the show.

This week on Scott & BR: Top 10 reasons Hillary refuses to quit the race

Listen to it live this Wednesday (5/21/08) on the Scott & BR show on xx1090 am.... I usually come on the air around 6:40 am. Here is a preview...

10) If she stops campaigning, she would have to return home to Bill...

Top 10 reasons to attend SDSU

This list was inspired by the huge drug bust at SDSU. It was still in the news when I went on the air with it on the Scott & BR show. SDSU received a lot of bad press and I thought it only fair to point out some of the positives about attending SDSU....

10) Win or lose, there is always a strong buzz in the air at Aztec games
9) Its an easy school, even Marty graduated from SDSU
8) No need to bring your own coke when going to a frat party
7) If you graduate, you could end up managing a ML baseball team and get a cool nickname like “Bud”
6) Penn State is known as linebacker U, Sand Diego State is known as line snorter U
5) Pink Floyd is still the most popular rock band on campus
4) SDSU students prefer natural grass for all their activities
3) You can get an advanced degree in agriculture and a minor in fire arms
2) Many on campus fraternities offer pharmaceutical sales opportunities that can pay your full tuition

And the number one reason to attend SDSU…

#1 rated import/export study program with Mexico, Columbia, Afghanistan, and Thailand

Bonus (not heard on the radio):
-You will get to smoke a peace pipe with the Aztec warrior
-Plenty of good seats available at all Aztecs football games

This second time around wasn't as smooth, I wasn't awake yet and not quite in sync with the sound effects. It was still a lot of fun though and I was on there for close to 15 minutes. Scott & BR asked a lot of questions, which led to some very funny moments. Take a listen...

Top 10 reasons the Padres stink

This was my first top 10... The Padres are so bad, the list wrote it self... I had enough for at least two lists... I probably will have to do an encore... Like "top 10 reasons the Padres stink Part deux". We'll see where they are at in a few weeks...
Anyway here is the original list:

10 - Beer is too expensive, so fans can't get drunk enough to heckle the other team
9 - Players are listening to Sandy Alderson and are trying to get on base without swinging the bat
8 - Kouzmanof thinks the crowd is booing him when they chant "Koooz"
7 - 3rd base coach Hoffman is jealous of his brother and is calling the wrong signs to make us lose
6 - Hells Bells CD has a scratch on it
5 - Josh Bard threw out a couple of runners and now considers himself a defensive catcher
4 - Petco has bad Feng Shwai and its messing up Tadahito Iguchi's swing
3 - Edmunds thought he was coming to San Diego to retire and enjoy the warm weather
2- Too much pressure from the immense talent in the minor league system.

And the number one reason the Padres stink..

1 - John Moores is divorcing his wife and is trying to reduce the value of the padres

Take a listen to the radio show. It all went very smooth and I think Scott & BR liked the name zino even more then the list.. My part starts about 2:20 min into the show...
