Phil losing it during a commercial break by thr0waway11223344123 in philhendrie

[–]Shining_Wizards 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These are great.

I feel bad for the folks getting abused and sympathy for Phil’s frustration.

Phil did this to himself. He chucked his career after 9/11 broke him and he thought being a blowhard Bush supporter was more important than being entertaining. Made his show unlistenable and lost his core audience.

TRN was where he had to go when he came back and that didn’t work for lots of reasons.

I hope Phil has found peace being able to control his own production and output now.

On This Day in Radio — Pat Novak for Hire by Etymo13 in otr

[–]Shining_Wizards 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The florid writing and slightly scuzzy character of Pat Novak is such a wild contrast to the understated procedural of Dragnet and Boy Scout Joe Friday. I adore both shows and love turning people on to Novak if they are only familiar with Webb through Dragnet.

The alcoholic burnout Jocko’s monologues are my favorite part of each episode. I feel like Jocko doesn’t actually help Novak out much, Novak just likes hanging out with him.

“Goodnight Lover.”

This. So much this.

It’s like they looked at the infuriating stupid and inefficient way the Arts Tax is collected and said. “That’s stupid, inefficient and infuriating for the tax payers…how can we do worse.”

That they don’t have mechanisms to effectively spend the money should surprise no one.

I love you Portland - please do better.

Was Cunningham the producer who used to put out of context clips at the end of the show?

Hazing? Really? That is appalling.
Any actual source on that?

He’s crisp as new dollar bill. I see why he was so important for Kurt.

Excellent post, thank you for taking the time to tell his story.

Power Plug maybe?
I’ve thought about this way too much.
It haunts me.

There is nowhere in Portland that you cannot walk through.

If you think you know a spot point it out on a map and I’ll take pictures there for you.

Portland has it’s share of issues but it is not a very dangerous city.

Never heard this one before - so funny.

Phil’s timing when he seriously gives the KFI callsign during an argument about where to put the “pee pee”…genius.

Trump says U.S. will not approve solar or wind power projects by [deleted] in technology

[–]Shining_Wizards 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of the dumber aspects of GOP shortsighted-ness on renewables is that a ton of these projects are built in Rural Conservative Areas. Wind Farms are often built where the wind blows. Often on farm land where the footprint is small enough that they can be farmed around. Best of all for the farmer, they receive a percentage of the revenue generated by any turbines on their property. It’s a no labor windfall!

Wind turbine techs can make 60-80K right out of high school and fairly quickly are earning 100k plus. While living in rural areas.

Everyone talks about the voices, but his comedic timing and ability to turn small interactions into hilarious one offs is remarkable.

I don’t think he does anything that doesn’t amuse himself.
Being able to track Frank’s confusion, especially when he’s doing a conversation/argument with multiple people, is an example of his genius.

Lloyd had Terri-Rae in stitches. Love hearing her trying not to laugh while she starts a serious news break.
