Or, why doesn’t anyone knee Joe Jackson in the groin?
So weird day for radio/podcasting yesterday.
KFI pre-empted Rush and Dr. Laura to cover the Michael Jackson memorial. Bill Handel and Gary Hoffman, followed by John and Ken, definitely provided unique coverage. I liked it. I love it when Eric Leonard (LOVE him!!) is out in the crowd with the lunatics, Steve Gregory is enduring icy cold stares whilst clandestinely calling in on his cell phone, Bill Handel knows nothing about the event he’s covering, and John and Ken criticize everyone and everything.
So here’s where I admit something. I realized yesterday that I don’t know what anyone looks like. Since I only listen to talk radio news and I only watch 10-year old British TV shows, I don’t know the difference between Al Sharpton and Jermaine Jackson.
Oh wait. My brother once thought that the photo of Gabriel Garcia Marquez (I’m sorry, I don’t know how to make the accent marks) on the back of my copy of 100 Years of Solitude looked like Al Sharpton. I guess I could process-of-elimination it if I had to…
Later last night the Pretty Good Podcast celebrated their fortieth podcast with some special guests. Oh nothing, just a coupla major studs named Timmy Conway, Jr. and Brian David Whitman, maaaan.
Congratulations, Randy and Gina. I almost had to blast away at you last week (two weeks ago?) when you started with the Paltalk. But you guys seem to have figured out that it sucks.
So job well done on the first forty shows and I look forward to many, many more.
(And, Gina, I’ve never seen you in person but I’m sure you have just the right amount of skin around your elbows.)
It’s probably better that we don’t know what most radio hosts look like, don’t you think?
Also, two Fake Leykis Podcasts in and it looks like it’s already over. Looking back, the 10 or so plugs Whitman gave it the other day weren’t really worth it. I’d rather hear an Aunt Edna podcast.
Maybe you need flash cards that show famous faces on one side and their names on the back. I will make you some for your birthday.
Now, to do that, I am going to have to figure out which Jackson brother is which. I know Jermaine, but I’m a bit confused between Tito and Marlon.
I’ll have to think of lots more famous faces than Jacksons for your flash cards…
