Here's a list of eight things I saw on Buzzfeed two weeks ago

I'll only get through three of them because you two won't shut the hell up

my wife introduced me to this guy telling me "it's just a character! that his announcer personality!" and guess what? it's definitely not. dude is a remorseless rear end in a top hat who talks just like he does on the radio

also they don't like to be called "djs" OP, cause it's a simplification of their full job

I call them djs anyway cause most are assholes

She'll never see office again. The entire reason she was voted in was due to her kid having Autism and she became a voice for other parents and promised to be their voice no matter what. Then the PCs slaughtered the funding their first week in office and she's just like, "well gosh, I tried!"

Pretty sure that they'll end up out east somewhere when this is all over.

This was a piece of poo poo maneuver but I do miss Bubba's buffalo chicken dip which, for some reason, was pulled from my local Publix supermarché

Also Bubba's show was pulled from our market years ago when he pissed off another, longer-standing and even lamer classic rock drive-time DJ Young Ron; he made fun of a viral video of a kid at Blizzcon grilling panel employees on World of Warcraft lore and that kid...was albert einstein apparently Ron's son

That's Bubba's M.O. He thinks its still 1998 and DJs are supposed to have turf wars or something. I honestly expect him to wind up dead in 10 years or get (more?) involved in organized crime.



Bob and Tom are still on the air. Nearly every person on that show has retired or tried to get in a different market but always come back because they can't make it anywhere else.

My local rock station used to syndicate Bob and Tom till about a decade ago when they started up their own local morning show.

Unsurprisingly, their morning listenership almost doubled overnight when they started airing something actually entertaining.

Worst loving duo I ever had the displeasure of sitting through was Jon and Jeff on KLSX in Los Angeles.

So bad they got shoved into the Third Shift graveyard because only half-asleep stoners and bored security guards could stomach their poo poo.

its all nice on rice posted:

99.9 in Seattle has an afternoon talk show called "the men's room." The first 10 minutes is literally just random bits from previous shows with stupid music in the background. Then they introduce all five(?) hosts and their stupid nicknames with ~wacky~ noises.

Tons of shows do this now because I guess they think listeners will switch as soon as they hear dead air, but it's actually the opposite. Almost any time I've been dumb enough to put it on ESPN Radio, the first 15 minutes of each show seem to be completely out of context clips that are completely unfunny and make no sense to anyone not intimately familiar with the show. Also, each return from commercial is just out of context soundbite jokes. It's very surreal, it's almost impossible to tell when the actual show begins and ends, if it ever does, as the conversation is just so banal and pointless anyway.

I think most morning radio DJs are dead and they've just been playing clips for the past 5 years

Thats pretty much always been sports radio to me. As a kid it was a great way to listen to a game that wasn’t on national tv or whatever. Everything before and after it was almost always mindless blabbering. Usually poo poo I doubt anyone cared about. Reminded me of the old men at the barber shop my dad took us to. Those guys would argue about games that already happened. Decades ago. I love sports but that is some extra level of love I never understood.

All of wacky morning drive-time radio, apparently, is populated by voice actors pretending to be jilted lovers—or in at least one instance, an aviation expert talking about a local plane crash. Ryan Seacrest is a major practitioner, and Dick Clark as a major supplier. We talked to some fake radio callers, and here are their stories.

"Any time you hear something surreal on a morning radio show, it's bullshit," one veteran independent radio producer told me. "The great prank phone calls—they're all fake. If it's top 40, and if it has a morning show, then it uses actors."

So it's time for a news story!

Not just any news story, Stompy, it's one that involves basic arithmetic or a computer.

Well golly gee, we should pretend not to understand this basic idea so we don't alienate our listeners!

There used to be this corny local anchorman thst was the head hancho at my local small town tv station. Dude's name was Rick Martel, and he was the very embodiment of 70s corny suave tv personalities.

Back then, I was an alt rock dj for a local radio station and we were doing an on site promotion at the local university for the week of welcome. We had our booth setup and Rick Martel was in a booth next to us with the tv starion so I got to talk with him and some of the other local news folks.

What became oddly apparent over the course of the night was that college girls loving loved that corny old dude. I don't know what he was saying or doing, but here's this 60+ year old guy with grey helmet hair and girls are hanging off him like Christmas tree ornaments. It was truly fascinating.

Daniel Baldwin, the number 3 Baldwin, has a show based in my city.

Also if your lovely local small city dj ever has an interview with a top tier celebrity to promote their new movie or something. It’s most likely the dj reading the questions off a script to pre recorded answers and edited together to sound live.
