re: Murphy,Sam and Jodi radio morning show

Our kids used to go to school with Murphy and Jodi’s kids. We would see the regularly and hung out with them sometimes. They are good people. Really happy for them that they managed to turn their local show into a national syndication. I can say that for them, what you get on the radio is them. They aren’t playing characters or just putting on a show.

C.J. & Fast, Big 102.1

I seem to remember Sam dating a friend of mine in the early 2000’s and it being super age inappropriate.

I could be remembering wrong. I don’t want to besmirch the man.

I used to listen to a talk show on the local Birmingham rock station a while back but they then moved (they've since come back to another station but that doens't matter). They were replaced by Walton and Johnson. Just out of habit I gave them a few listens and it was....shockingly bad. Like I can't comprehend how anyone between the age of 25-55 could ever stand it. We aligned politically which was ok, but it was so over the top unfunny.

You had dude impersonating a deep voiced black guy, as well as a gay as hell hairdresser. If your main schtick of your show is funny voices you're essentially just the ventriloquist act of the talk show world. I still can't wrap my head around how anyone would find them appealing.

I miss pre-9/11 Walton & Johnson, when they were actually funny and didn’t delve into politics much.

I honestly never found their schtick all that funny but they would play the funny songs and bits and things regularly that I found funny like Sex in the morning and Salty Chocolate Balls and the bit about the pig in the ice chest etc....not of that was them but those bits were all funny and presented regularly as part of their show.

But when they went political they really went balls deep and I pretty much quit listening very shortly after.

The radio is rarely going to play what's new.

Does anyone still listen to the kidd kraddick morning show? About two years ago I picked this back up after not listening for a long long time. Given I could care less about celebrity gossip which seems to be 25% of the show. They do a lot of charity work very uplifting compared to that rino Tommy Tucker

I don't know how anyone can listen to that corny arse garbage.

Your not wrong - they are corny no doubt. But I think for many it's a welcome respite from the shock jocks, indecent and often inappropriate content and the hate filled rhetoric that dominates much of the rest of the genre.

Agree 100%. It was awful. I could not listen to that one guys voice. Like nails on a chalkboard. Terrible.

What channel is that new show on in Birmingham? I know its not 99.5, Jox, or 106.5. Is it the Christmas music station? Got to be one of those because every other station in BHM is country, hip hop, or mexican.
