Little Tony............Interviewed B97's Coty.
1.) So, Lil Tony, people call you Tony the tiger. Is that because of the cereal or are you just GGGGGGreat!?
Well first off thank you for the compliment. My greatness is something I cannot live without. But yes, the other reason speaks true also. When I was little my favorite cereal was Frosted Flakes, and when I found out the Tiger’s name was Tony, I was ecstatic. Every so often I will meet people who will sing the “Hey Tony” Frosted Flakes song.
2.) If you could trade places with anyone for a day who would it be and why?
I would want to trade places with ESPN sportscaster Chris Berman. He has always been one of my idols and it would be cool to go to a baseball game and use his catchphrase, “Back.. Back.. Back… and gone”.
3.) Ok Lil Tony, gettin' deep here. I know about your crush on Jessica Beil, but whats this I here about a man crush?
Well, First off, I believe everyone has a man crush, even if you’re into the ladies. I would have to say the 1980’s Patrick Swayze right around the time he made Dirty Dancing… ok I happened to find his dashing and handsome… what of it.
4.) Whats your favorite hobby when your not playin the hits on the Mighty B?
I love to cook. It is a major hobby of mine. I like watching sports and going to a local bar and chowin down on some hot wings and a few brews. My other hobbies are working out, singing, learning my guitar, and annoying people.
5.) Now Little Tony you have got to answer this next question and it's the one that divides the nation. Chocolate or Vanilla Ice cream?
Well just like there is an Afternoon Swirl on B97, I’m gonna tie in that corny analogy I just said and say swirl.
6.) You have lived in New Orleans since birth, right. So wheres your favorite place to get some grub and what do you order?
I am a major sushi freak. So I LOVE going to Sake Café, and a few other hole in the wall places. So if you ever want to hang out, Sake Café in Kenner is where it’s at.
7.) If you could go back in time and change one thing about your life, would you and why?
I don’t think I need to change anything. I am proud of the way I am and the person I have and continue to be growing into…. Damn what’s with the seriousness in than answer haha.
8.) Ok, enough with Barbara Walters questions, we have all heard you talk about your career in male modeling but if that falls threw whats your back up career?
I most likely would be a chef if I wasn’t doing radio, because I love cooking and I have a lot of crazy recipes I would like to share with the world. You have not lived until you had Cajun sweet potato soup.
9.) Out of all the people you have met through B97 who was your favorite?
Well everyone at B97 gets my love equally so I will dab on each one. Coty has been a great person to talk to every time I walk in for my shift. Speedy always cracks me up. TPot is nice to talk to and is what I call the B97 eye candy haha. Erin is great and introduces me to new music. Annette is very cheery and that rocks. Duncan, well I don’t see him much, but he is good to talk to also. Stevie, I’ve known him for a while now, pre my B97 employment, and he’s always been as funny as he is now. And last, Jammer is new to B97, but is quickly becoming a great friend and motivator.
10.) Last but not least can I have your social security number? Joke! Seriously though if you had a billion dollars what would that money go to? And don't say you would put the girls at Rick's Cabaret through college. Thats a great idea though!
I’d never go to Ricks, I have standards, Coty. Anywho, if I had that much money, I’d first take care of the people who taken care of me such as mom and dad. Than I would buy me a nice Cadillac Escalade, Hybrid of course, and that I would open up Lil Tony’s Sushi restaurant.
It’s me… It’s me… It’s Lil Tony!! We’ll, I thought it was creative. Let’s see, all the stuff the ladies want to hear… I’m 25, I love romantic strolls on Bourbon Street, and washing down the perfect night with a Huge A** BEER. I am also an avid sports fan. Some of my favorite teams are of course the New Orleans Saints (08 might just be the year), of course The LSU Tigers (Tiger Bait, Tiger Bait), The Hornets, and the Chicago Cubs (Please guys just win a damn Championship before I am gone lol).
I have been working at the Mighty B 97 for over a year now. You might have heard me rockin out on Sunday evenings, and on occasion I produce Kidd Kraddick in the Morning. So call me up on Sundays, 260-9797, with your shout outs, requests, or we can talk about anything; I’ve been known to be quite a chatter box.
