Spike O’Neill, longtime co-host on The Bob Rivers Show
From Twisted Radio on KISW in the late 80s through the 90s and on to The Bob Rivers Show on KZOK and KJR, Spike O’Neill spent many years on Seattle’s radio dial. He joins us this week to talk Seahawks as well as some of his favorite moments from his time in radio.
The interview has everything from Princess Bride and Caddyshack references to a Rick Mirer comparison with Charlie Whitehurst. Spike talks about what it was like being in radio at KISW during the height of the grunge era and why he dislikes the term “game manager” especially in relation to Russell Wilson.
Known for his “Twisted Tunes” throughout the years, it’s something that even continues today with his Deflategate parody Tom’s Big Balls (done to the tune of AC/DC’s Big Balls).
