I posted this in the wrong place the other day. Let me try again.
In June of 1999, at age 39, I quit drinking. I was a mess. I was being treated for depression, and I was going to AA meetings every night. I had not really laughed, hard, for many years. I found your show soon thereafter and began listening.
I believe it was in October of that year you had Don Parsley on to talk about his grandfather’s hunting accident. As the bit progressed I started chuckling. Then the hunting guide from Texas called in and repeatedly told Don, “You shot Grandpa!”. By then I was was laughing out loud, but when Don asked the guy, “Are you calling me a bad shot?”, I busted up. I couldn’t stop laughing, but I was trying to be quiet enough so I could hear the radio.
That was a turning point for me. I didn’t think I’d ever have fun or laugh again after I stopped drinking, but you proved me wrong.
A few months later, you had on a guy who was an alcoholic. He had drunk a $110 glass of Cognac, but he claimed that, since it was such a unique and expensive drink, drinking it did not affect his sobriety. I had “gotten” the show by then thanks to your on-air explanation. All my fellow AA members who called in to chastise him broke me up.
I was so glad you had Don Parsley’s call available with my BSP. I listen to it often, and it still cracks me up. I’ll be sober 12 years in June.
Thanks for what you did for me.

Tonight it was Bill Dutton, a former producer and engineer for some of the top bands of the sixties and seventies, defending Chris Brown. “Many of my wives and girlfriends looked like that picture of Rhianna on a Monday morning but still benefited from my earnings.” We also had the boys, Curt Queedy and Guy Barton, from the West Virginia statehouse saying the draft should be reinstated so Kurt’s son Taylor can “man up” and put away the “muscle magazines

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.

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.””

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.
