Dj Nextgen (Midnight-6am)
Chris O’Neil
Evenings
He used to deliver our pizzas. (Kidding.) We did a background check on him…he’s wanted in 10 states and was kicked out of 40 (do the math). Unless we’re confusing him with another Chris O’Neil but we’re too afraid to ask. Needless to say we don’t give him web privileges.
