Dave Kim

Talk about myself eh? Let’s see, I grew up in Detroit, went to Oakland University, and ended up here with this sweet gig.

Favorite TV Shows

Community, The Office, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Chuck, Burn Notice, Bones, Saved By The Bell, New York Undercover, Scrubs, Smallville, Transformers, Ghostbusters and Chappelle’s Show just to name a few.  Oh yeah, the Nick Toons from the 90s, like Doug and Ren & Stimpy, were dope.

Favorite Movies

Terminator 2: Judgment Day (saw that when I was 8 years old.  Gotta love cousins who don’t care about movie ratings), Office Space, Superbad, Old School, Wedding Crashers (God I love Rachel McAdams), Jurassic Park, Above The Rim, Friday, The Hangover, Serendipity (shut up, I love Kate Beckinsale too), Underworld, and Napoleon Dynamite (which I saw TWICE in theaters before it got popular with bandwagon fans).

Favorite Music

Ahhh, now this is the tough one.  Well, here goes.  I love The Cure (as if the shirt wasn’t a dead giveaway), Aaliyah (R.I.P. Baby Girl), 2Pac, Taking Back Sunday, Brand New, Rise Against, Mat Kearney, The Starting Line, Feist, My Chemical Romance, New Order, Depeche Mode, Stevie Wonder, R. Kelly, Lifehouse (shut up), Avenged Sevenfold, Eminem, Kid Rock, White Stripes, Interpol, The National, Editors, Joe, Joshua Radin, Anberlin, and so many more artists that would take forever to list.  I like a lot of different music.

Favorite Sports Teams

Of course I have to list my hometown teams, like the Red Wings, Pistons, and Tigers.  Lions who?  Don’t get it twisted.  I am not a band wagon fan.  I’ve supported the Pistons through the teal jersey era and went to Tigers games when they were losing 100+ games a season.

Favorite Video Games

Street Fighter II, The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past, Mortal Kombat, Final Fantasy VIII, Metal Gear Solid, NHL ’94, NBA Live ’98, NBA Jams, Master Blaster, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game, Goldeneye 64, Persona 3 and a couple of TurboGrafx-16 games.  Yes, I own a TurboGrafx-16.  Don’t judge.

Schedule

Sa 3:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Red Wings Fan Jiggles Boobs on National Television

The Detroit Red Wings earned a hard-fought victory against the Anaheim Ducks last night (May 6) to tie their quarterfinal Stanley Cup playoff series at two games a piece. Center Damien Brunner scored the game-winning goal during the first overtime period, cashing in on a rebound against Ducks goaltender Jonas Hiller. While that's great news for Wings fans, the real highlight was a young woman in attendance who decided to express self-love during a break in the action.
