Dana
Half-Assed Morning Show
- All-time favorite bands/artists: Foo Fighters, Blink-182, Beastie Boys, and of course Bruce Fredrick Joseph Springsteen and the LEGENDARY E Street Band.
- First Concert? The Up In Smoke Tour in 1997 when I was 12 with Dre, Snoop, Eminem, Ice Cube and Warren G. My date for the evening? My mother! She said I could only go if she chaperoned me. There were people smoking weed and women flashing the stage all around us. Quite the bonding experience.
- First album you ever purchased? Beastie Boys – Hello Nasty. I remember walking out of the Sam Goody in the Burnsville Mall feeling like the coolest mother effer to ever live.
- What show or streaming series is a MUST watch? Ted Lasso is the most brilliant and pure thing ever created. We, as humans, do not deserve something as wonderful as Ted Lasso.
- Name a movie you could never get sick of watching? The Fast and Furious franchise
- Greatest sports movie of all-time? Rocky IV
- Favorite sports mascot? I really like Dinger (CO Rockies) because he is a dinosaur.
- Favorite video game? I am very much an old-school Nintendo player. I have a Donkey Kong arcade machine in my living room and the Donkey Kong machine at Up Down has a plaque on it that says ‘Reserved for Dana Wessel.’
- Describe your first car: Freddy Focus! 1998 champagne Ford Focus. I named him Freddy. Seeing that car get towed away when it was finally time for it to join the big junkyard in the sky was heartbreaking.
- What topic(s) would you crush at trivia night? Fast and Furious, Nintendo, Springsteen, and anything involving the 2002 Minnesota Twins.
- Favorite meal of the day? The handful or two of peanuts I inhale during the commercial break between the early sports break and Josh’s news.
- Favorite potato chip flavor? Nacho Cheese Doritos.
- Growing up, whose poster was on your bedroom wall? I had an entire wall in my room dedicated to the Sacramento Kings. Oh, and Shakira. I went through a big Shakira phase.
