History
The show first broadcast in 2004 under the title Dan & Bob INDA Mornin, hosted by Danny 'Foodmonster' Lobell and Aryeh Teplow-Phipps. Aryeh left the show shortly thereafter, and the show became The Danny 'Pies' Lobell Show. The program went through several different co-hosts.
Danny 'Tastycakes' Lobell's old friend David Kasten would do a weekly call-in segment known as "The Kasten Minute" early in the show's run. On November 4, 2005, Kasten joined the show as an official co-host. Katy Olson joined the show in March of 2006 as a co-host after a strong guest appearance. Later that year, on June 29, 2006, comedian Chris Iacono joined the show as the fourth co-host.
In 2008, comedian Myka Fox replaced Katy Olson as co-host.[1]
