Steve Bosell took us on a bizarre journey tonight featuring late night phone calls from a breather and a wife and daughter dancing in front of mirrors. Steve's daughter kicked off Father's Day by looking at her Dad, saying "Happy Father's Day" and dragging a finger across her throat. Steve then video-ed the same act outside...and it went viral on YouTube. Steve's scared! Ted Bell from his restaurant in Beverly Hills implored Phil's listeners to earmark Federal tax money to help California make up it's 10 billion dollar shortfall. "California is equal to Mt. Rushmore and the Lincoln Memorial. What do you think of when you think of, say, Washington state? Something cold and wet." Ted went down the list of every State in the Union saying the only thing they all had in common with California was dope.
August 19, 2011 In 1993, three teenagers - Damien Echols, Jessie Misskelley, Jr., and Jason Baldwin - were tried and convicted of the murders of three boys in West Memphis, Arkansas. But in 2007, new forensic evidence was presented suggesting that none of the DNA found at the crime scene belonged to any of the convicted teens. Today, the three men, now in their thirties, have been granted their freedom by an Arkansas judge. State prosecutors and defense attorneys have been working together for the past year to finalize a deal, under which the men will plead no contest to murder charges in exchange for immediate release. The prosecutor in the case, Scott Ellington, says he believes "this case is closed and no other individuals were involved." The three convicted men say they'll keep fighting to prove their innocence. The case has garnered lots of attention over the years, with an in-depth 1996 HBO documentary called "Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills," a follow up called "Paradise Lost 2: Revelations," which is available on YouTube, and a forthcoming third installment, "Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory," due to screen at TIFF. The release of the documentaries led many high-profile celebrities to join the call to re-examine the convictions - Eddie Vedder was present in the courtroom today, and Peter Jackson has been quietly funding ongoing investigative efforts for the past seven years.
The news of R.E.M.'s split on Wednesday came on the heels of lead singer Michael Stipe's nude Tumblr video scandal that recently made its way online. The '90s rock band broke up after 31 years together. Sometime on Tuesday, reports surfaced that the R.E.M. frontman had posted a weird video on his Tumblr account, reportedly showing him taking his clothes off and then putting them back on. The musician also reportedly showed his private area to the world. Then on Wednesday, the band announced the breakup. "To our Fans and Friends: As R.E.M., and as lifelong friends and co-conspirators, we have decided to call it a day as a band," the band posted on its Web site. "We walk away with a great sense of gratitude, of finality, and of astonishment at all we have accomplished. To anyone who ever felt touched by our music, our deepest thanks for listening." In the more than three decades R.E.M. has been together, they released about 15 albums. Some of their best works include Murmur, Reckoning, Document, and Automatic For the People. The band was formed in Athens, Ga. in 1980. Their final album "Collapse Into Now" was released in March this year. There have also been reports that Stipe took to his Tumblr and posted the following statement: "thanks Peter, Mike, Bill, Bertis, and everyone who was ever there, what an adventure - Michael." Rolling Stone reported that the band has plans to release a greatest hits collection later this year. That collection would include a handful of new songs recorded after the band finished "Collapse Into Now."
Phil started the show with a rant about the Cincy cops, riots, etc. Either they have the worst blacks anywhere or they have a cop problem. Violence IS an alternative. Art Griego joined the show in the second hour to say that the debriefing isn't gonna be pleasant for those crew members. They'll probably end up in the brig. Should've nose-dived that plane into the Chinese control tower. Phil closed the second hour with a rant about going to the desert for Easter. Steve Bosell then called in to tell Phil that there is no Easter Bunny. Bob Greene started the third hour to discuss his "squeeze of lime" promotion. He'll spike female's drinks for the men to make the date go better. Bud Dickman wrapped up the show with his weekly Top 10.
Margaret Grey is excited to report that, in her opinion anyway, the Zodiac killer has finally been identified. This is based on her reading of a new book that claims the real killer is still alive at age 91, an alcoholic and living in Solano County, California. When Phil or callers ask her questions like "How many people did he kill" she says it's not important and criticizes Phil for being sexist and not taking her word for all of it. Dr. Ron Tarner joins Phil to discuss a Star Trek fan's claim that he can build a "Starship Enterprise" within 30 years and make it powerful enough to "planet hop." Dr. Tarner says he's tired of 'these people in rubber masks co-opting our culture and getting everyone excited about drivel that will never happen." He is endorsing TAT or Trip A Trekkie and he's going to their next convention in Vegas to do just that, hang around and stick his foot out when one walks by.
Hour 1: There's some commentary, politics, and phone calls. David G. Hall calls in to the show from a radio convention. He's pitching Phil's show to some affiliates calling Phil's show Libservative. Part liberal, part conservative. Hour 2: Phil talks about politics, healthcare and takes some phone calls. Hour 3: Phil starts out talking about the media, then Ted Kennedy's funeral. A Huffington Post contributor sends out a tweet comparing 911 to Ted Kennedy's death. He did apologize, knowing he shouldn't have said it, but people still went nuts. Then Phil takes some phone calls. He talks about the banking crisis, healthcare, then the stories we couldn't get to.
From The New York Times..... "By IAN URBINA Published: March 24, 2010PHILADELPHIA — It started innocently enough seven years ago as an act of performance art where people linked through social-networking Web sites and text messaging suddenly gathered on the streets for impromptu pillow fights in New York, group disco routines in London, and even a huge snowball fight in Washington. Laurence Kesterson/The Philadephia Inquirer Young people filled South Street in Philadelphia on Saturday in what officials said was the latest flash mob to turn dangerous. Mustafah Abdulaziz for The New York Times Seth Kaufman was injured in the flash mob Saturday, which he called “a tsunami of kids.” But these so-called flash mobs have taken a more aggressive and raucous turn here as hundreds of teenagers have been converging downtown for a ritual that is part bullying, part running of the bulls: sprinting down the block, the teenagers sometimes pause to brawl with one another, assault pedestrians or vandalize property. On Wednesday, the police here said that they had had enough. They announced plans to step up enforcement of a curfew already on the books, and to tighten it if there is another incident. They added that they planned to hold parents legally responsible for their children’s actions. They are also considering making free transit passes for students invalid after 4 p.m., instead of 7 p.m., to limit teenagers’ ability to ride downtown. “This is bad decision making by a small group of young people who are doing silly but dangerous stuff,” Mayor Michael A. Nutter said in an interview Wednesday. “We intend to do something about it immediately.” Flash mobs are not unique to Philadelphia, but they have been more frequent here than elsewhere. Others that resulted in arrests and injuries have been reported over the past year in Boston, South Orange, N.J., and Brooklyn. Philadelphia officials added that they had also begun getting help from the Federal Bureau of Investigation to monitor social-media networks. And television and radio stations are helping to recruit hip-hop artists to make public service announcements imploring teenagers to end the practice. In the past year, at least four of the flash mobs have broken out in the city, including one on Saturday in which roving teenagers broke into fights, several onlookers were injured and at least three people were arrested. “It was like a tsunami of kids,” said Seth Kaufman, 20, a pizza deliveryman at Olympia II Pizza & Restaurant on South Street. He lifted his shirt to show gashes along his back and arm. He also had bruises on his forehead he said were from kicks and punches he suffered while trying to keep a rowdy crowd from entering the shop, where a fight was already under way. “By the time you could hear them yelling, they were flooding the streets and the stores and the sidewalks,” Mr. Kaufman said. The ad hoc gangs have scared many pedestrians off the streets. City residents are also starting to complain about the number of unsupervised children, and child advocates are asking if there are enough activities to keep young people busy after school. “We definitely need more jobs for kids, we need more summer jobs for kids, we need more after-school programming, and we need more parent support,” said Shelly Yanoff, executive director of Public Citizens for Children and Youth, a children’s advocacy group in Philadelphia. Ms. Yanoff added that libraries and after-school programs had been reduced and a program for youth offenders had been cut sharply. On Friday, officials said, two preteenagers assaulted a woman as part of a violent game called “Catch and Wreck,” in which children pick out people who appear homeless and then beat them and take any money they have. The police, who say these assaults are unrelated to flash mobs, arrested an 11-year-old boy and a 12-year-old girl in the attack. The police said they also planned to charge the boy in an attack on a 73-year-old man who was beaten and robbed in the same area on March 13. The flash mobs have raised questions about race and class. Most of the teenagers who have taken part in them are black and from poor neighborhoods. Most of the areas hit have been predominantly white business districts. In the flash mob on Saturday, groups of teenagers were chanting “black boys” and “burn the city,” bystanders said. In a Feb. 16 melee, 150 teenagers spilled out of the Gallery shopping mall east of City Hall during rush hour and rampaged through Macy’s, knocking down customers and damaging displays. The police arrested 15 of the teenagers and, according to one report, some had not been allowed to call their parents six hours after they were detained. Clay Yeager, a juvenile justice consultant and former director of the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention in Pennsylvania, said he believed the flash mobs were partly a result of a decline in state money for youth violence prevention programs. Financing for the programs has dropped 93 percent to $1.2 million in this year’s budget compared with $16 million in 2002. City financing for such programs has dropped to $1.9 million in the past three years compared with $4.1 million from 1999 through 2002, a 53 percent drop. Mayor Nutter, who is black, rejected the notion that race or the city cut in services was a factor. “I don’t think people should be finding excuses for inappropriate behavior,” Mr. Nutter said. “There is no racial component to stupid behavior, and parents should not be looking to the government to provide entertainment for their children.” Violent crime in Philadelphia has dropped 12 percent and homicides have fallen 23 percent since 2008. Bill Wasik, a senior editor at Harper’s who is credited with introducing the notion of a flash mob in 2003, said he was surprised by the new focus of some of the gatherings. Mr. Wasik said the mobs started as a kind of playful social experiment meant to encourage spontaneity and big gatherings to temporarily take over commercial and public areas simply to show that they could. “It’s terrible that these Philly mobs have turned violent,” he said." Theo Emery contributed reporting from Washington.

Robert Green of Frazier Foods voted Republican in '04, and one particular checker, a woman he'd asked out and who'd turned him down, voted Democrat. Bob wanted to rub it in by making crude sexual comments, and now he's getting sued!

Ep. 323

The resignation of Russia Today news anchor Liz Wahl was discussed with Don Berman from channel 19 news calling it gutsy but "a real grandstand act." Margaret Grey said she was "proud of her but I still wanted to slap her dirty face, showing up the rest of us." Art Greigo spoke to Phil from Santa Monica Airport while he was doing some repair work on a couple of airplanes. He wanted to, he said, warn Phil about calling himself the "comedy farmer" (which had been discussed) lest people think of the old song "Farmer John" by the Premiers. The song tells of a young man in love with the farmers daughter and Art was worried people would simply think of some guy putting it to a chick on top of a pile of wheat that would eventually be made into a breakfast cereal. Pretty disgusting, said Art.
