Do all KQED employees drive either Volvos, Hondas, and Toyotas?

I knew it would happen one day Rich - we are completely in sync with all questions (esp. regarding Ranel & Ralph)...
ReplyDeleteSome KQED types drive Saabs. Why pay more for a car no better then a Japanese car a third or less in cost? wink-wink. Saabs and "Celtic Woman" CDs in the holders,says KQEDs certain demographics.
ReplyDeleteRalph? A star fucker type. His "allegiance" to the Giants, he announced to rolling eyes world over was such bad sports broadcasting..over the top bad. That's on top of his "Close friendship with Nellie" that if you ever heard it was nothing more then Ralph groveling to Nelson,who frequently treated Barbieri as a fool straightman for comic relief. He called you a bastard Ralph...uh,Ralph? That's degrading,not something you should take like a lap dog. But,you did. Over and over.
Oh,and the Amicic pizza? this from a man who once put down Latins as using their surnames to get jobs in the media. Not like Ralph would take advantage of his Italian heritage's stereotype and endorse Pizza. No,wait,he did. And does everyday.
Yeah it was important for Renel to get that WS ring for all that yelling she does.
ReplyDeleteYou would have thought 2005 would have ended Kruegers days as a judge of latins who play for the Giants wouldn't you? But only a bigot like Lee Hammer brings scum like Larry close to his bosom.
ReplyDeleteIf you see Larry on Comcast,you see him go psycho when the subject of the Giant's latin players comes up. His face even gets a demented look as he gets contorted and winds up...until Radnich throws water on sick Larry to calm him down.
If Larry Baer has any say about who talks Giants on KNBR like its been well known that he does..then, why is Larry Baer looking the other way on Krueger?
Huh Mr.Baer? Why this slap to your Latino fans and YOUR players to have Krueger spread his uglyness-again? Tell us.
Was that a funny? Jan Wahl..."dessert" island?
ReplyDeleteBaked Alaska, perhaps.
I thought all KQED employees used public transportation.
Michael Urban is perfectly fine with me.
ReplyDeleteDon't get why Rich is constantly ripping everyone except to imply that he's somehow superior, which is a tough sell!
I would throw Jan Wahl back into the water.
ReplyDeleteHow does Mychael Urban continue to get jobs?
ReplyDeleteSwallowing and happy endings?
Where does Dan Ashley go to get his hair done?
Same place Devo did for those plastic hair wigs.
What would happen if Felipe Alou met Larry Krueger in a room alone after hearing Krueger rip Pablo Sandoval, (after he hit for the cycle) ?
Depends if Alou was napping in the room.
Does Ranel get extra money by yelling out each Giant player on the PA?
Not extra. It's her job and she gets paid to do that. At least someone is working for their money! Speaking of which......
Speaking of Ralphie, anyone else notice why he casually shows up on his Knibber show about ten minutes into the program? (ego play?)
Too comfortable in his bubble. People today are lucky to have a job. Showing up on time is just a given. Perhaps Mr. B needs to put his pants back on and be reminded how to work hard?
If Steve Moskowitz and Pat Vatucci disappeared, would anyone care?
Who? :)
Is Ronn Owens' ego bigger than Lake Tahoe? Just the North shore.
Bigger than Truckee, at least.
If you were stranded on a dessert island with Brian Copeland and Jan Wahl would you kill yourself?
Why? With Wahl, you are guaranteed to feed off her and live in her carcass for a good year....and have a hat!! But Copeland's jokes might make one want to impale one's self. "Wilsonnnnnnnnnn!!!" Of course, if it really is a "DESSERT" island, you know why Wahl it there!
Do all KQED employees drive either Volvos or Hondas?
Hondas. Pledges are down so they can't buy the best anymore. Spa retreats are down too. Your pledges at work!!
Urban gets work because he's talented and continues to improve on the "Game". Barbieri is a sanctimonious twit who surprisingly is still employed.
ReplyDeleteAlou would use Kruger head for batting practice.
ReplyDeleteRenel not Ranel.
Ralph! You should owe KGO some cash for running up a personal phone bill when you used to work there in the early 1980's.
At least Ralphie stopped bouncing checks at the Irving Club.
ReplyDeleteI should have said bigots like Lee Hammer AND Bill Bunghole.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure they knew what statement they were making to bring back Krueger's racist mentality to KNBR and ignore the Latin community. And in response Bill,Lee,and Larry...We say, fuck you all.
How does Mychael Urban continue to get jobs?
ReplyDeleteYour guess is as good as mine. Ditto with Bob Fitzgerald. Don't know why KNBR retains this creep.
Where does Dan Ashley go to get his hair done?
Same place Dan Kerman does.
What would happen if Felipe Alou met Larry Krueger in a room alone after hearing Krueger rip Pablo Sandoval, (after he hit for the cycle) ?
Larry Krueger. Another no-talent loud mouth who keeps getting chances after chances after chances. . . I don't see what anyone sees in this lout.
Does Renel get extra money by yelling out each Giant player on the PA?
Hey, be Cool. Renel is cool. I like her.
Speaking of Ralphie, anyone else notice why he casually shows up on his Knibber show about ten minutes into the program? (ego play?)
Ralph-a-roo has an ego? No !!!!
If Steve Moskowitz and Pat Vatucci disappeared, would anyone care?
Nope. You forgot to add Stanley Roberts to that list.
Is Ronn Owen's ego bigger than Lake Tahoe? (Just the North shore.)
Yes. About the size of Lake Pyramid.
If you were stranded on a desert island with Brian Copeland and Jan Wahl would you kill yourself?
With Jan Wahl, possibly. Don't know who the other person is.
Do all KQED employees drive either Volvos, Hondas, and Toyotas?
Pretty much.

ReplyDeletefelipe alou is a bitter old turd and barbieri is a phony and a d-bag. there you have it.
ReplyDeleteI hate Ralph Barbieri - and Bob Fitzgerald and Rod Brooks and Damon Bruce, and all pretty much for the same reason. They all KNOW they're right, and they don't give a crap what anybody else thinks nor give them any respect to state their own opinion. I hate Ralph Barbieri the most, however, because he is shrill, repeats himself endlessly when he finds something to latch onto and is a shameless shill for Amicis.
ReplyDeleteMychael Urban is THEE biggest jock sniffer. He has zero credibility. Second is Ralph Barbieri (if you've signed something for his kid he will NEVER say anything bad about you). Larry Krueger needs to realize his Damon Bruce imitation is not going to get him very far.
ReplyDeleteLarry Krueger's 'imitation' of Damon Bruce is in fact an original (he was the host of Sportsphone 68 prior to Bruce, and his approach to talk radio hasn't changed since then). The reality is, they simply are very similar in style, which is likely why KNBR hired Bruce to replace Krugs in the first place.
ReplyDeleteTo me Larry Kruegar sounds more like Chris Townsend who was also once on KNBR....
ReplyDeleteDamon Bruce's imitation of Larry was never good. Larry made is mistake and is now back. If Hammer could he rehire Cass Centano and Dennis Cruz aka Renee as well as John London.
Rhein is already back. Agnew and Salvatore were bosses who screwed everyone.
Barbieri in fact must have pics of Agnew doing something inappropriate to Salvatore or Isabelle Lemon because Ralph was UNLISTENABLE back when he wrote for the defunct mag. SPORT.
I met a gal in Hawaii who said she went out with him ONCE and he was the most misogynistic, Sociopathic,Psychopathic,Narcissistic turd she had ever met.
Recently Barbieri and Tolbert were talking sports and out of know where Barbieri TRIED to make an analogy by saying..."Yea women who have average looks facially are more likely to do, errr....other things to you..." WTF? Ralph should start dating some young delivery from the new Amici's in the Castro...
Ralph Barbieri is a DOUCHEBAG!! His Amici commercials are an embarrassment, he sounds like a babbling old man with Alzheimer's. If I was Amici's I cut him loose. The guy steals $300k/year and shows up late or is hardly there, FUCK HIM!
ReplyDeleteI will never understand how anyone takes Mychael Urban seriously. It's clear he knows nothing about baseball. Maybe he keeps his job because of his awesome hairdo?
ReplyDeleteBarbieri is not worth hate, to be sure. But the fact that he has access to a 50K Watt microphone and the ability to propagandize poisonously the public demands at least a valuation of his program.
ReplyDelete"The Razor" is truly psychologically sick. My guess is that he suffers from a narcissistic,
paranoid-schizophrenic syndrome, made evident most recently by his expression hatred for Jim
Harbaugh, the current object of his scorn. He certainly wants the public to think he's smarter than Harbaugh, since he continually questions the coach's decisions with alacrity. [Barbieri KNOWS BETTER!!]
Why does Barbieri hate Harbaugh? Well, I suspect that because he has an exaulted sense of his own intelligence, he may have been a twerp in grammar school. I'd bet he was somewhat of a teacher's pet, protected by the school authorities, like Mr. Hammar protects him at KNBR; all the while, I can see Barbieri as the school snitch, shunned by his peers, while all the school bullys pushed him around. So he grew up to be a verbal bully.
Being the wimp he is, he didn't play sports himself. As a result Barbieri probably grew up
hating sports achievers, i.e., "jocks," of which Harbaugh is one. Hence, the development of his paranoid personality. But because he got a job as a sports commentator, he has to "appreciate" some jocks. Hence, the schizo component of his personality. All this makes him a truly weird piece of work, made manifest by the strangeness of some of his comments on the radio -- the non-sequiturs that periodically raise their ugly heads in his commentary.
A couple days ago Barbieri said that he would not want his daughter to marry Harbaugh! Can you believe this? One of the most malicious insult a father can impose on another man -- a comment reserved for someone like Charlie Manson or Gary Gilmore.
Of course, Barbieri doesn't have a daughter. He has trouble apparently with women. He had to pay one to have his child. But he couldn't do it the normal, intimate way. He had to capture his sperm in a cup and have a medical professional inject it in a woman's vagina to get her pregnant. Duh! Who would want their daughter to marry Barbieri? Nobody. Of course, he knows this. The daughters don't even want to marry him!
Now it turns out that Barbieri has announced publicly that he has a debilitating disease -- the same one that astrophysist Stephen Hawking has. Or was it Attorney General Janet Reno who has the same disease. I forget. Anyway, Barbieri milked this knowledge for a few days until the sympathy pettered out. Because Barbieri's barbs against other people are so malicious and poisonous, he has built up a barrier across which no sympathy from me can cross. In a just world, where one has to take responsibility for one's public comments in the public square, Barbieri does not deserve my sympathy.
Objectively speaking, Barbieri doesn't deserve to have a spot on KNBR. His program is saved by
good producers who book good guests for interviews. Especially during football season, having Steve Young on has a civilizing impact on the program. It is difficult for Barbieri to speak maliciously when Steve is on: Steve serves as a check on Barbieri's irrationality. Other guests stand up to Barbieri more or less effectively. Ray Ratto provides a good laugh when he's on.
Barbieri is lucky to have good program support: "The Razor and Mr. T" would be better without "The Razor." And that's the way it is.
