You know the rudiments of "morning zoo" radio. A pair of guys — and it's basically always guys — making jokes, playing sound effects, doing song parodies. Some news updates, traffic and weather, and call-in contests — lots of call-in contests. Characters, wackiness, zaniness. Getting you up, out of the house, into the office. On Parks and Recreation, the format was lampooned as "Crazy Ira and the Douche." On Family Guy, the fictional version was "Weenie and the Butt."
