Show Log For Friday, December 10, 2010

Well tonight Margaret Grey returned to try and pitch John Edwards again. This time she told Phil she wanted to see Edwards have the chance to speak at his ex-wife Elizabeth’s funeral. “This is a chance for John to say ‘for Elizabeth it’s goodbye but my kisser isn’t going anywhere’, tastefully of course. I even see perhaps, done with humor, a John Edwards button pinned to Elizabeth’s body. You see Phil it’s all in the context, like the song says.” She then attempted to sing a song she called “In The Context” that was horrible.

We also featured a rare interview with Dr. Ron Tarner from the Science Council For Racial Equality. Dr. Tarner was joining with the magazine Mother Jones and others to say that a Duncan Hines commercial with cupcakes covered in black chocolate dancing to a beat box was racist and that it was only the tip of the iceberg. Tarner remarked that most chocolates today are in colors that reflect the “skin colorations of black people” and that one could come home and make cookies that “look like a black.” In Dr. Tarner’s world, that is unacceptable….

Neil Rogers Surgery Canceled-Open Heart Surgey Deemed Too Riskey.

from the Sun Sentinel

December 07, 2010|By Tom Jicha, Staff Writer

Open-heart surgery on South Florida broadcast legend Neil Rogers, rescheduled on Friday, was canceled by doctors on Tuesday. Rogers was considered too weak for what was labeled “high risk” surgery to clear arterial blockages, according to his attorney and friend Norm Kent.

Rogers, 68, has suffered two heart attacks and a stroke since last summer. He also suffers from diabetes.

Rogers’ doctors and those looking out for his interests, including Kent, were discussing the next phase of his treatment, which is expected to be hospice care. One option is to move Rogers and have him cared for in his Plantation Acres home, Kent said.

Friends who have visited Rogers at the hospital, including former radio colleagues Steve Kane and Craig Worthing, said he lapses between lucidity and being unaware of his surroundings.

Rogers, who left WQAM in June 2009 when his contract was bought out, has been living most of each year in Toronto. He returned to South Florida on Nov. 7 for treatment and to be closer to friends.

Show Log For Thursday, December 9, 2010

Our first hour featured Marylynn Donnelly, a Belmont Shores mother whose teenage daughter Jamie has been investigated for bullying two classmates. “It doesn’t make sense” said Marylynn. “How can you be that fat and that popular.” She admitted her own daughter is large but that these other two large girls are popular with the cheerleaders and the jocks while her own daughter only has other fat girls for friends. Asked why her daughter was stranded in a parking lot one night by her volleyball teammates and forced to call Marylynn for a ride she said “I don’t know. All she did was pull a common teenage prank. She defecated on the back seat of her friends car as a joke.”

Our next guest was Professor Emory Clayton who teaches an Urban Media class at LA Canyon College. Professor Clayton is convinced that the rumors of Oprah Winfrey being a lesbian were started by “the white media. They don’t like s strong, proud black woman being successful so they start floating the rumor that she’s a man-eater. Hell, the number one rumor-spreader herself is Barbara Walters so that when it comes time to deny it Oprah’ll do it on the Barbara Walters Show!”

JAY IS HENDRIE FAN

“Well, I’m obliged. I truly am”

Jay Leno is a fan of Phil Hendrie and he called in to Hendrie’s 7-10 p.m. Saturday show on KFI/640 AM on Dec. 4 to talk about rail service – and that so-called “train to nowhere.”But first, Leno played along with Hendrie and said he likes the fictional character Ted Bell, owner of Ted’s of Beverly Hills Steak House. Leno said, “I went by his place (Ted’s) and everything you said about him was correct.” Hendrie said, “I hope he hasn’t had occasion to rough you up and throw you out of the Prime Rib Room as he did with Brad Pitt one night.”
