1. Most of the time when Darya Folsom calls in, he, Gary Radnich, is literally lying in bed talking on his land-line phone.
2. This is one of KRON's most popular features in the morning--you'd think they'd go out and spend a few bucks on a camera mounted at his home or at KNBR, but nooooo.
3. At times if he,(Radnich) sounds sleepy or loopy, there's a reason--he absolutely HATES doing this --and yes, he's a little tired. The bad phone connection doesn't help either.
4. Uh, she's entirely way too happy no matter what the subject matter which often makes for interesting, inexplicable content. Sometimes, it both looks and sounds goofy which I'm told is precisely its purpose. That can go a long way for an operation known for counting paper clips.
5. She's, (Darya), not exactly thrilled that he's getting about double her salary and doesn't have to schlep out of bed while she's on her fourth cup of coffee in an hour.
Footnote: He's the only guy in the building--maybe outside the female GM--that her boyfriend can't screw with--Oh happy day!

Why is Geddy Lee, The lead singer of RUSH at KRON!
ReplyDelete...and Stan is outside Radnich's bedroom window with his Junior Spy Kit...
ReplyDeleteOn behalf of Gary Radnich, thanks for all the FREE publicity!!
ReplyDeleteNo one cares.
ReplyDeleteLife is rough for Radnich. Being underpaid, and then having to field phone calls in the morning.
ReplyDeleteDo they cover horse racing? She might know more about that than Radnich!
ReplyDeleteTHe question is - is he in bed, naked?
ReplyDeleteEwwwww.....
Think of this. What if these two had a kid.
ReplyDeleteThey did. it was called "Yog, Monster From Space"
DeleteThat kid would be so ugly they'd smack the mother.
DeleteThese two are a reason why some of these government-created media conglomerates (read deregulation) want to cut salaries. Fatnich should just stay in bed and scratch his nuts.
ReplyDeleteI always thought he was phoning it in from KNBR, in between the commercials!!!
ReplyDeleteNobody cares
ReplyDeleteWhatever anyone thinks of Gary Radnich, you have to give him credit for one thing: longevity. Yes, his act has grown tired and he mails it in by not really keeping up with sports or going to the games, but he's been working at KRON now for over 30 years and has been at KNBR for over 20. That ought to be worth some recognition. It ain't easy staying at one place that long, especially in this day and age!
ReplyDeleteThat segment is also the ONLY thing Darya cares about in the mornings. That doesn't mean she does any research or bothers to watch any sports beforehand, she just has her producers thanklessly feed her information prior to the segment happening. Once that's over she just goes back to shopping online or planning her next vacation during commercial breaks.
