Gag Me With a Spoon

Image result for gag me with a spoon EVERY TERMITE COMMERCIAL ON THE RADIO

*Every single damn KCBS interview with guests answering every single question with, "...so..."

*Anything on KNBR.

*Chef Ryan Scott. The prince of cad with all the authenticity of a Van Gogh painting in Clovis

*Jan Wahl and her crappy, sappy movie reviews; El Yenta de KCBS

*Darya Folsom: Even by KRON standards, this obnoxious, blathering, fake and insipid "news" woman is an affront to real women TV anchors; actually women in general. Why and how KRON continues to nauseate the Bay Area with this no-nothing, breathless, yenta that has about as much cred as a rotten kumquat is beyond me. Wait a minute...

*Mike Anthony: The mother of all morons that worked out of a San Jose news shack and got rewarded with the job of programming two, once-giant radio stations that are now being driven to the ground. Of course, in the world of Cumulus: "Let's hire the guy!"

Image result for Gumby*Allen Martin: The executioner at PIX. Anchor with all the warmth of a Tenderloin hooker.

*Ken Bastida: Fake smile. Fake personality. Fake voice. Fake Persona. Here, Ken, early Christmas gift.

*Bob Fitzgerald: I used to think his enemies were a bit too harsh but after being subjected to this asshole for over 20 years, yes, now I know all your pain. Just a flesh fill of blather and insincerity with all the charm of the bathroom at the Van Ness Chevron. "Fitz Files"? cackle, cackle, cackle --seriously, Rudy, the human hemorrhoid.

*Amy G: Larry Baer's human pet rock performs Gumby on every Giants' cable TV telecast. She'd be an embarrassment in Turlock.

*Ken Wayne: see Ken Bastida.

*Sal Castaneda: see Ken Wayne and Ken Bastida times two.

*Gasia Mikaelian: "LOOK AT ME; look at me!; Me, Me, Me, Me!!" No wonder they all think you're a blowhard, still.

*Mike Mibach: "Hey Mike, care for some after-dinner mints?"

*Heather Holmes: Leslie Griffith lite but still this, apparently.

*Speaking of maniacs, Michelle Griego.

*Michael Krasny: you can fool some of the people some of the time but you can't fool all people all of the time. KQED Radio's version of the male Evita.

*Leah Garchik: "Overheard in a Mill Valley Starbucks: 'who's that yenta that writes the column in the Chronicle pretending to be Herb Caen?"

*The new PD at 95.7 FM The Game: Seriously, Entercom brought you out from Philly to do this? Advice: Rent

*Greg Papa: Insufferable, boorish, arrogant, and temperamental too. Other than that, "TOUCHDOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWN, RAIDERS!"

*Dave Feldman: see Ken Wayne and Ken Bastida.

*Henry Schulman: Oh, for god's sake, get off your high horse and go get a hooker, you need one.

*Ann Killion: you'd make a man leave his wife; wait a minute. The Chron's Gloria Steinem wannabee.

*Scott Ostler: Scotty, about time for your 5000th hit job on the A's in Sunday's column, an otherwise solid read --yeah, I get it, you hate the A's ownership; guess what, so do I, now how about something different --maybe cat pictures at the Giants game?

*Me: yeah, I'm a pain the ass. But I know it. Honest begins at home. So excuse me as I cry in my pillow and try to figure out lie and death.

You: those of you that come here regularly and have the chutzpah to rip me for asking for donations. Go away. Go watch KQED. Go watch The Happy Hour. Rent Water World. Listen to "Hangin' with Langdon." Write to Mike Anthony and tell him how much a genius he is and ask for a KGO coffee mug.

*Ethan Bear-Man! Considering a 5000-word manifesto on those who steal granola bars from Whole Foods, Simi Valley.

*Chip Franklin: You're lucky they cut your salary in half and not send you to Bakersfield.

*John Lund: human feces on terrestrial radio. Harsh? I'm being kind.

  2. Anyone who had 3 in the 'Yenta' pool, congratulations! Please pick up your commemorative autographed photo of Joan Rivers at the Danville Gas 'n' Plotz.

  3. Ken Bastida. Agree.
    The phoniest smile on TV.
    No one is being fooled.
    Do everyone a favor and go back to being a traffic reporter.

  4. I actually like Darya, can't understand why all the venom for her. She reads the news just fine and has more personality than most of her peers. Plus she knows how to deal with Radnich which can't be an easy task. I only occasionally view this site but most of the time Darya gets hammered.

  5. Fitz used to brag about his hair. Those days are over, but his
    dye job comes across as red on TV. Does this have something to do with his Irish roots?

  6. Darya's hot....like her voice. Matt Kolsky still sucks. Stop being Bob Fitzgerald Jr. He sounds like a little girl when he gets excited...horrible pauses...horrible radio.

  7. Sorry Rich, too much TV stuff and not enough radio dish. I don't do local TV for all the reasons you constantly point out. Haven't for years so my time here is limited. Sorry but good luck.

      I'm sorry...I guess I'm too set in the 21st century, for forgive me for asking:

      What is this "radio" you speak of? I Googled it, but all I got were pictures of Tyrannosaurus Rexes, Brontosauruses, Tricerotops, and 8-Track tape cartridges.

    1. In my opinion KNBR is more crappy than 95.7. KNBR's Murph & Mac get more and more annoying as they talk about the Giants until people fall asleep. Tired of a one trick pony radio station that is partially owned by the Giants (I think). That's why they lost the Warriors. Get a clue Larry Baer....you're not the only sports game in town....that's why you can go to the game for a $7 ticket on StubHub Monday-Thursday all year long....because no one gives a crap about the Giants. Renel and seagulls....oh how fun!

    2. Butcher Boy needs to take a sedative. Why is 95.7 The Game hiring guys from off the street?

  10. I totally agree about Bob Fitzgerald. Impossible to listen to on the radio. Years ago, I noticed that he always laughs at his own jokes. So Lame

    1. On Cue So Does Rudy's Stuttering, Silly, Sycophant of a Co-Host Rod Brooks Who Automatically Giggles Right After Fitzgerald's Lame Jokes. Incredibly Brooks Has Been Now Polluting the Bay Area Sports Talk Air Waves For Over 20 Years As He Was First Hired By KNBR in August 1997 & Despite All the Revolving Door Changes in KNBR Sports Talk Show Hosts & Formats Has Somehow Miraculously Survived Not Being Fired Despite His Mediocre Talent. Not To Be Politically Incorrect But Being The Only African-American Bay Area Radio Sports Talk Host For Many Years Until Lo Neal & Rob Bonta Were Hired a Couple of Years Ago By the Game(KNBR'S Chief Sports-Talk Rival) Certainly Has Been To Rod Brook's Advantage.

  11. I actually turn to 860 AM to avoid the Kars for Kids ads. They're all over the place.

    1. You'll give the kids singing in Kars For Kids a complex with talk like that. They are actually quite talented youngsters. If you listen carefully and sing along, it grows on you and before you know it, you'll look forward to hearing it. Worked for me!

  12. Go get em Richie. I liked it better when you rip Gary about his escapades with working ladies. What happened did Larry threaten you?

    ReplyDelete
  13. Rich, pretty much agree with everything you said - Fitzgerald is horrible, wish he would go someplace else, anywhere...but keep Barnett. Papa sounds like he's on coke, never heard so many nonsensical words come out of a person's mouth so fast, and why does he always repeat himself and talk over people? Larry Baer, can't stand him, another pompous, arrogant prick...and yes, as much as I like Scott Ostler's writing, I'm tired of his bashing the A's, we A's fans get it Scott, ownership sucks, but we're still fans regardless, faults and all, and not everyone in the Bay Area are Giants fans even though the media treats the A's like a minor-league team...

  14. is that a ''storefront '' in your pocket or are u just glad 2 see me?

  15. My take on Diarrhea Folsom, been watching her for a number of years off and on. I remember the days before her implants, do you? The only thing i dont get is why all the flexing? Okay, great you work out, who cares? You remind me of the skinny person in the gym who works more on flexing in the mirrors than actually working out. Just saying

    ReplyDelete
  16. Rich, do you or anyone else have the ratings comparison between Greg Papa on 95.7 and Fitz/Brooks on KNBR from 1-3 p.m. Fitz and Brooks have gotten really bad over the last couple of years. So arrogant. I'm curious what the ratings difference is. Feel for Bob and the passing of his wife, but Fitz believes he's right about EVERYTHING.

  18. I'd agreed with you Rich about Allen Martin a long time ago. (That's an insult to Tenderloin hookers, some of whom , who knows, may read this blog.) It occurred to me a while back that I'm also tired of looking at Ken Bastida. It's time for some new faces there, but I can't imagine whose they would be.

  19. I just noticed: No Stan the Observer. Thank you, Rich!

  20. Honestly, I can't find any reason why Sal Castenada even exists.
