Ehhhh. You have to know Richard. Most of it is extreme shtick. He's a caricature of himself and he plays it up on air.
Radio used to be a side gig for him....might still be.

So some music nerd is not a sports fan?
Riveting insight.
I don’t think it’s a shot at the music nerd or him not being a fan of sports. It’s more about the radio djs and morning radio being corny and god awful.
How Bob and Tom is still a thing is beyond me. How any of them are still things is beyond me. They all seem to think of themselves as funny and treat their shows as such.
Most morning radio shows are similar these days with them laughing at their own jokes and pre recorded silly noises throughout.

The radio engineers aren’t much better. Was listening to a talk radio show the other day. All of the sudden, another radio show starts playing also, so you have two separate shows playing at the same time. You can’t understand anything because they’re the same volume. I’m like, WTF? Surely they’ll realize this and fix it. Nope, goes on and on so I change the station. Go back to the station 10 minutes later and it’s still happening! fricking incompetence.

I was watching Sunday Night Football last weekend, and the NBC local news comes on afterwards. The girl reading the news kept pronouncing Hamas like it rhymed with Sheamus, on top of stumbling through other lines on her prompter. DJs are one thing, but a newscaster is supposed to actually know something about the world, you'd think.

More than likely nobody was even there and It was done remotely from New York or LA.

The only ones I really knew where the local B97 DJs. I would catch Stevie and Tpot. They were married. Tpot a black chick Stevie a one white guy.
Stevie apparently cheated on Tpot and she got to keep the show and he isn't in radio anymore.

I absolutely loath radio small town radio djs. I just begrudgingly tolerate mainstream djs in-between songs.

I feel the same about Scott Innes. I like the music on 103.3 but as soon as I hear his voice I have to change the channel. I’ll take Richard any morning over him.

Sorry you’re too poor to have a car. FM radio has to be dying though with streaming and XM.
radio en general is dying. I mean its serius xm isnt it? If the demand was so high there would prob be more than one company that constantly has to lower the price of its product to get you to sign up again.

The sad fact is that they may have several stations that are all owned by the same station in the same building using the same equipment. That station's engineer may be the same engineer for all of them or be outsourced to another station in larger markets a few states over.
He probably didn't even know about it until getting transferred a complaint call about it.

Almost all stations have one employee now. Everything is automated by computers. Even when you hear a DJ talking, it was pre-recorded voice track and inserted by the computer. Which can cause dead air, two elements playing at the same time, etc.
I live at the beach in Florida and have a syudio in my home, but I do a live morning show in Ohio daily.
Most voices (DJ's) arem't even in the city you hear them. They voice track 4 or 5 stations across the U.S. and have no idea about the City/Town other than what they are told.
