American Idol, Star Search and Hazing at NorthWestern

Filed under: The Show — Justin @ 1:27 pm

This morning Duji brought up Sam Harris from Star Search.  Rover played one of his songs, “Over the Rainbow” from Star Search.  The song was awful to say the least and Rover quickly stopped playing it.  Duji of course loved it and wanted Rover to play the end.  He finally gave in and did play it, commenting that it sounded like Dieter taking it from behind from Paco or Dieter lifting weights.  Here is a pic of Sam Harris:

They went on to discuss the hazing incident at NorthWestern, which is the hot media topic right now.  Photos were posted at Bad Jocks of some NorthWestern female soccer players hazing each other.  This wasn’t even anything bad like beating each other or drinking massive amounts of alcochol.  Dieter and Rover agreed that hazing was part of team building and Dieter talked about playing naked twister in college for football hazing.

Rover, whose real name is Shane French, grew up in Las Vegas, NV.  He is the son of a doctor and a nurse, although he has never met his father.  Rover got into radio at the age of 20 in Las Vegas at X-107.5 X-treme Radio.  He sent them a resume that said he had worked in radio before but when he got into the interview, the person he was interviewing with had been a consultant at the station Rover claimed to have worked at.  Rover went on to work in Nashville, Denver and Las Angeles before ending up in Cleveland.

Rover is 30 years old and has had a girlfriend for the past six years who is often a target of his rants on the show.  He also once dated porn star Raylene.
