THIS OLD TOWN
*I TALKED about WAYNE WALKEE, a TOTAL CLASS ACT with a GIANT personality: the polar opposite of GREG PAPA; a talented JERK with an ego the size of SF Bay. Papa thinks he's cool with his ridiculous OVER-HYPED, borderline hysterical 49ERS TD call, he should really be ashamed. Papa
s BIZARRE daily change-of-voice (he sounds like a little girl gargling) doesn't make any sense and sounds downright SILLY. And Papa's MEAN STREAK at KNBR continues to baffle longtime producers.
*The whole new "AUDACY" deal; ENTERCOM's re-branding (KCBS, 95.7 FM, 'The Game" here and all other of its national stations) is mere window dressing. It's really a national broadcast outfit attempting to sell terrestrial radio into the modern world of podcasts and music, only the people it is trying to kiss butt to, are not impressed and are too busy listening to thier smart (ass) phones.
*LESLIE GRIFFith, I think I told you one time, literally took her high-heel off after a nightly newscast and HIT MARK IBANEZ in the KTVU parking lot. It wasn't a pretty sight, especially for Ibanez and the beginning of the end for Griffith.
*JOHN LUND gets paid extra to laugh at every Papa joke; I can't think of any other reason why Mister Facelift chuckles and chuckles at Papa even when there's NOTHING TO CHUCKLE about.
*STATE-RUN RADIO for the GIANTS, KNBR is all just freaked out. The mutts who do radio there are incredulous that the lack of fans at the games could be so pronounced. Well, when you still have a pandemic; when Downtown SF is still a ghost town; when there's no action near the park, yeah, I can see why nobody's coming to the ballpark. And I'm no genius as you know.
*YEAH, I'm down on Papa --but there's times when I'll give him credit too. Am i not supposed to call one out when they need to be called out? Nope.
*SEE, I CAN'T STAND people with HUGE EGOS who think they're god's gift to the world and act like total FLAKES and FAKES. Like a few people I know too well.
*I'm not exactly Mister Sunshine either; in fact, today, I think I'll head to Kasper's hot dogs and RIP MYSELF.
*BILL MARTIN, the soon-to-be-retired KTVU weather guesser, doesn't "converse and talk to his audience." THAT'S BS. Martin is more incoherent. When you "talk" to the viewers, you have to make sense. Martin hasn't made sense for KTVU for years now.
*RAJ MATHAI has been subbing on KGO RADIO a few times and spewing out more BULL crap than a Madrid waste factory.
*TODAY'S POSERS in this city could understand a valuable lesson by reading some of the comments about the old KPIX and Wayne Walker posts. YES, they were PROFESSIONALS and they enjoyed working and YES, they had huge EGOS, BUT...they were TALENTED and COOL and they didn't take themselves seriously like the SCHMUCKS we have today in the BAY AREA.
*I'm beginning to have a different opinion of ALLEN MARTIN which sacres me because I actually think he's better.
