Tonight’s Show

Well, many of you witnessed me in another blow-up over a technical matter. Unfortunately tonight was so serious we had to leave the air. I cannot produce an already complex radio show with elements that are not right. When the actual audio (which is in essence what radio is) for any one element is too hot (loud) or too soft (low) it makes hearing what you are doing impossible. For my show, being able to hear everything clearly is essential.

I know that the show I do is challenging technically but that’s the way it is and it has to get done. I don’t like losing it on camera. I know since we’ve had the videocast you have been brought into the behind-the -scenes in a way perhaps you didn’t expect. Well, this is it. And it’s the same from one show to the next, no matter who is doing it. With a soft economy and more and more people striking out on their own the things that perhaps a big corporation used to take care fall to smaller operations. And everybody is doing everything.

I made the decision that the videocast would be uncensored night in and night out so you could see that “reality” is not just uncensored language but uncensored life, the uncensored professional life.

Life Imitates Phil: Sheryl Crow Says Wipe With One Square

From NewsBusters:

“Apparently, Crow wants to save the Earth one toilet paper square at a time. She proposed “a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting” and perhaps “just washing that one square out.” She doesn’t seem to want to pass a law, just culturally berate us into obedience.  Here is Crow’s “easy way” to be part of the solution to anthropogenic global warming:  

Although my ideas are in the earliest stages of development, they are, in my mind, worth investigating. One of my favorites is in the area of forest conservation which we heavily rely on for oxygen. I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting. Now, I don’t want to rob any law-abiding American of his or her God-given rights, but I think we are an industrious enough people that we can make it work with only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where 2 to 3 could be required. When presenting this idea to my younger brother, who’s judgment I trust implicitly, he proposed taking it one step further. I believe his quote was, “how bout just washing the one square out.””

Bit Question

Your Name: Brian Lansrud
Subject: Looking for an old show…
Message: Phil,
I have been hoping to find a show that I heard in roughly Sept-Oct 2001. It may have been a flashback. Regardless, it had to do with a guy playing in a wedding band recognizing the bride as someone he had slept with recently. He keeps referring to her as a “band bitch” and getting chewed out by you. He sounded like Dowder, but I can’t remember if the character was actually Jeff. Thanks a lot for any help. I hope you are doing well.

Brian
