YOU WANT BS? THEN GO LISTEN TO KQED AND SIP YOUR DAMN WHITE WINE AND LISTEN TO JAN WAHL. YOU WANT THE REAL DEAL? THEN PAY ATTENTION RIGHT NOW!*Yeah, right, Gil Gross is about as interesting as a Dixon Dairy Queen bathroom at midnight.
*KGO Radio tried to get several other fill-ins for Mark Thompson (before settling on Gross); 415 Media has the list of just who was contacted; among them:
Paul Harvey
Owen Spann
Ira Blue
Ray Taliaferro
Steve and Eydie
Sonny and Cher
Carol Doda
Ann Frasier
Ross Macgowan's first wife
Betty Ann Bruno
Claud Mann
Claudine Wong
*The "Ronn Owens Report" has all the warmth of a poodle's toe fungus. If you listen to the RO Report, you are a certified mental case.
*Ronn had a nightmare the other night and couldn't go back to sleep: Jan brought over Tara Fields and all they ever talked about was Ronn's mani/pedis.
*Greg Papa is now outright asshole; how do I know? Ask Greg's multiple sloppy seconds. Pop is such an egotistical prick he made one of his girlfriends moan, "TouucchhhDown 49ers!"
*Another putz: eternal nebbish, John Lund, who likes to talk penis jokes on KNBR which for Lund is a short story.
*Lund has all the excitement of a Damascus whore house.
*Damon Bruce, MR UTTER BULLSHIT: Yeah, Damian, for years you told everyone under the sun, "I only work solo!" --which is news for your wife.
*Papa thinks he's the second coming of Bill King when in reality he's slightly less interesting than the current Larry King.
*New bumper sticker at KNBR: "Has Greg Papa hugged a college-girl intern today?"
*NO BS: Should be called the "Giants' Post-Game Crap." --watch out, Miller's doing a #2!"
*Really, who gives a flying fuck whether Larry Baer's in control now sorta akin to wondering if Darya Folsom's Winnebagos are real.
*Tom Cibrowski the GM/VP at KGO-TV: care for some after dinner mints?
*Tracey Watkowski-Silva, ND at Circle7 you have more baggage than the United Terminal at SFO.
*Lund cackles so much to his boytoy friend, Papa, he had to go extra miles to buy the brown toilet paper.
*BOTH morning shows on 'The Game' and KNBR: Both Suck; Both suitable for mandatory five-year sentences at Santa Rita; both suitable for mandatory five-year sentences at Napa State hospital.
*Brian Murphy: Darwin was wrong.
*Paulie Mac: Jimmy Hoffa in dust vomits when he hears your blithering shit.
*Bonnie Jill Laughlin: Open wide.
*Murph, like Ronnnnnnnnnnn, loves the guy, "Copes" so he can brag to his Marin buddies that he loves to hang with the brothers.
*Yeah, Powlie, you're about as New Jersey as Leah Garchik's armpits.
*KRON: more dead air than Sharon Tate's coffin.
*KNBR "FM"? Now we can all get organic shit in stereo! What a bargain.
*Stan Bunger is an egotistical blob with overbearing BS on an everyday morning basis with obnoxious cackles and jokes that are NOT FUNNY. And his weather embellishments are now almost comical except they're real. Maybe Stan is the new Bay Area Willard Scott on radio.
*Hollie Quan: a lightweight in every sense of the word makes Susan Leigh Taylor look like Margaret Brennan.
*Frank Somerville and Mark Ibanez are working on a new made-for-TV feature: "The Persian Woman Principle."
*Ronn told KGO suits that "hey, look, you can use me for a few minutes every day, I'll be your name and you'll get to sell me and have my recognition!" Which is kind of like a guy who leaves the clinic and tells desperate hookers, "hey, I still have remnants of Herpes 11!" Let's Party!"
*Yes, Greg Papa is a douchebag but he's my douchebag.
*Dave Flemming: two loafs of wonder bread --extra mayo.
*Jon Miller: "Uhhhhh, uhhhhhhhh, Adios Polita!, Uhhhh, Uhhh…"
*Chris Townsend: NO BS, last year before an interview, Jon Gruden told him, "hey, don't ask me any more kiss-ass questions, you fucking tool!" --my coach of the year, Gruden.
*Townsend's A's Post-game show on some right-wing AM radio station slightly more interesting than triple root canal.
*Wayne Freedman: looks like the poison guy on a medicine bottle.
*Brett Burkhart: Rothmann's wife hates you too.
*Mark Thompson in Africa: news reports indicate he's more detested than an Idi Amin disco party.
*Gil Gross' wife on radio: radio GITMO.
*Sherry Brown, the traffic yenta at night on KCBS, a much better tactic for men who don't like cold showers.
*Doug Harvill: Cumulus #1 SF ASS-KISSER.
*Doug Harvill: Cumulus #1 SF ASS-KISSER.
NO BS!
I dunno 'bout that Damascus whorehouse, Rich. I mean...a hot-bodied belly-dancer-type...with only her eyes showing through all that facial coverings...MAN...that would be VERY intriguing to me!
ReplyDeleteWhy Paulie Mac still has a job is one of life's great mysteries . . .
ReplyDeleteAnd--gasp!--do you mean to imply that Waste Of Space Bonnie Jill Laughlin DIDN'T get her job due to her amazing sports insight? Next you'll be telling us water's wet.
Have you listened to any of KFOG's final day special (today)? Most of the programming, like Dave Morey's final broadcast (re-run at 8 a.m. this morning) and "10 at 10" segments are fine by themselves but they are transistioned with a mishmash of filler music loops, bumper items, dead air and lord knows what else. Makes it sound like an imbecile is driving the control board, they're just no doubt that it's Cumulus in charge...They're just demonstrating again that they're not yet done running radio into the ground...
ReplyDeleteThe "filler music" was all taken from the station's live concert archives. But yeah, the bumpers sounded crappy. "You're listening to the final days!" Really? is the apocalypse upon us?
DeleteWell you got your motor running big time. Laughed my ass off. This NO BS
ReplyDeleteblog was hilarious and made my evening-Thanks Rich!
Rich, please, please, please, post more about the baggage Tracey Watkowski-Silva has. Thanks!!!
ReplyDeleteHeard M. Dung for the first time today. If only KFOG had the content that was on today it would be good. Stupid move in going alternative. If only they kept what was going in the past today it would be better. Sad to see it go. :(
ReplyDelete- Haven't listened to So Gross in 8 years
ReplyDelete- Thompson has completely cratered since his KRON Weatherman years decades ago, when Pete Giddings & Pat McCormick were whipping him on a nightly ratings basis.
- Is Owens still coherent?
- Increasingly paranoid?
- A York Family Friend made this happen.
- Lewd Lund the Clown Kisser
- I don't remember ever hearing Damon Bruce.
- Love seeing you mentioned in a Trib archive column today connecting Perry Phillips with Larry King!
- A good broadcasting man was replaced by a litigated loudmouth.
- Please oh please, Jon Miller! It is time to bid adios from the booth! Even the KNTV broadcasts are increasingly painful!
- Please oh please further number Lockstep's days among the G-Men!
- Oh! So it's the bad breath that has the Circle 7 Newsroom antsy on their toes all day.
- Getting harder to tell which "Tr" has been luckier the last 3 years? Nah. Trixie ain't that evil. But keep an eye all the same.
- Lewd Lund took the Brown Fog nickname from the ex-Jersey Guv?
- In other words, both sports talk morning shows could lead to the worst internal stresses imaginable?
- LOL about Murphy!
- Don't want to know how the posthumous KNBR Alumni dust feel.
- Please don't give Lewd Lund ideas about Bonnie Jill.
- I wonder if Copeland's stage act includes lots of RL-type dissing. Nah, shouldn't give the man known as Copes/Copie that much credit.
- They say Jersey's traffic armpits stink worse than Cali's. Wow.
- KRON ownership's only smart thing? Saying bye to the Bentley.
- No KYUU coming anytime in the future here.
- So Bunger has really let his Bay Hall induction get to his head since it happened how many years ago?
- LOL about Quon and the SLT-Face The Nation comparison!
- Will Somerville & Ibanez show relief if Bill Martin were ousted?
- Does Owens now think Herpes is a Greek God?
- With the NFL's 100th season now underway, the Faithful will leave Douche alone if their team wins and makes the playoffs.
- With all of his other national assignments, is Flemming in Clash mode? As in should he stay or should he go?
- If Lockstep has regained his Giant presence, will he let Miller literally say Adios to his career?
- We Gotta Love Chucky for telling it like it is!
- I miss listening to Korach & Cotroneo, as I can't bear to hear the last two stations the A's have had broadcasting contracts with. Then again, I just can't bear to hear the Powtown distinguishing sounds of Perfecto Dallas Braden. Thankful for MLB.com once again.
- Rich: Refresh me on your real opinion about Circle 7's lead reporter. I'm trying to remember if you respect his work or not. I can tell you that without his reporting, the North Bay wouldn't have coped with their struggles the last two years since the 2017 Firestorm that destroyed half of Santa Rosa and more, including both properties owned by the Schulz Family of Charlie Brown-Snoopy fame. With his ability to connect with the anxiety ridden residential victims, I have to give Wayne Freedman the benefit of the doubt.
- I thought Bret Burkhart was with just one T. I guess the extra T stands for Twit?
- Did Mark Thompson say there's no place like home circa 1983?
- I have actually never listened to Mrs. So Gross.
- I use Google, instead of radio for traffic. Since it's September, I have a record in my disc player by Earth Wind & Fire, then Jimi Hendrix, and at the end of the month, the East Bay's favorite Hall of Fame American Idiots, Green Day. Wake Me Up When September Ends.
- Harvill is indeed hopeless, just like the Cloud Clowns.
- And finally, Dave Morey forever 10 steps ahead of all others. He knew KFOG would become less beloved, and here it is. The End.
