Radnich/Krueger Confirm that Lee Hammer is a KNBR/Cumulus Puppet; The Radu/Nettles Story Only on 415 Media; Wednesday Dish

OK, so I'm taking a drive down 880 and almost laugh so damn hard I have to pull over and be careful not to cause a multi-car pile-up.

His highness, the master one that I'm obsessed with--the guy that keeps on giving, is slobbering all over his boss, Lee Hammer, I mean mucho-slobbering, I love you even though you ain't the big guy here at lovely Knibber, which leads to the LOL story.

This is a beauty. As Raddy would say, listen to me and listen to me good.

While talking about Dub's Larry Riley's dismissal, the great Rad-U had an unintentional brain fart. And his dimbuld sidekick added insult to injury without realizing how foolish both of these vanilla wafers are. Moving on...

GARE-YEE, took a Lee Hammer, (KNBR's upper tool) turn. Said Raddy, "I get e-mails...'Lee Hammer did this--Lee Hammer did that...Lee Hammer is not the guy who makes the decisions--it's a management deal."

So, Raddy, what you're really saying, (for the 99th time) is that Lee Hammer is a puppet, a hand-picked Stanford guy, (yeah, I know he went to SJ State, but stay with me), who really doesn't pull the major strings, right? Well, we sort of knew that. (Tepid laughter, until...)

Until his back-up utility woof, Larry Krueger, in between knee-pad verbal audio of how "such a great guy", LH, is, went one step further: "You need a 'front man", (backing up Raddy about how power-less Hammer is and that LH comes to 55 Hawthorne courtesy the Dickhead brothers who run Cumulus and are Stanford guys.) And LH, we already know, is a COMPANY MAN, and a Stanford man, (there's a broadcast connection), to boot. Gees, what an amazing phucking coincidence.

OK, I'll admit, I have a guilty pleasure. I tune in now to the man who continues the gift that keeps on giving...Especially when I hear the great Radu made a pointed reference to this spot on Monday, (see, he can't help himself. He claims that he never reads this but somehow he keeps up on it--maybe he's a ventriloquist). Good work, interns and $9-an-hour producers. Just mav!

**THE GREAT GARY/NETTLES LOVEY-DOVEY STORY

The next time you read or hear about how much a swell guy the great RadUnich is, remember this beauty, told to me by a former anchor he worked with at KRON many years ago.

While pushing hard to become the main anchor at KRON, (and largely successful), one night, at a time that weekday anchor, Tom Nettles was on his way out out the door, Radnich said something to Nettles, (nobody knew exactly what), but whatever it was must have hit hard.

Nettles, according to the anchor, was literally crying as he left the studios and drove home. Crying.

Now this isn't a forum for the "I love Tom Nettles" fan club. As I said earlier, Nettles never did anything for me and other than being a good-looking, female-admiring sports guy who didn't much have an ad-lib in him, nonetheless was, from all accounts, a total pro and went about his way without ruffling any feathers, (which may have ultimately cost him his job)--that said, don't it sound sorta weird and non-fuzzy that he'd leave the building crying after a Radnich encounter. I don't think it was because he had a bad golf game either.

**Christine Craft, one of the few remaining credible talk hosts on KGO, will sit down with Ross Mirkarimi on Saturday, (early Sunday 12-5) and talk to the ex-SF sheriff and presumably will get a whiff of his story. Craft, an unabashed supporter, thinks Mirkarimi has been "railroaded", her words, not mine.
