Will Opie & Anthony arrive in Houston...

Houston_Tornado

Soon to be in Baton Rouge and are currently in Dallas (nearby).

Think there's a place for them on the Houston dial?


I have XM so it won't bother me but there are a few that don't have it who listened to some of the replays and like it.

They could only improve KIOL's mornings, but at this point so could the sound of bowel movements. :eek: :p :p :p :p :p :p :p
 
Actually Walton and Johnson were recently attacked by the pests.. so it's probably unlikely that they will end up on that station now. (for more info on WHY, well, you know what to do)
 
About two weeks ago they had "comedian" Bill Burr on. For those who don't know, he was the red haired guy that appeared in a few Chappelle's Show sketches. He was a horrible guest and extremely unfunny. Burr then went on the other show and trashed them for not laughing at everything he said. Jay Moher pitched a same fit when they didn't constantly tell him how funny he was. I like W&J's approach to commedians on the show because they're usually bore fests. When Backtalk has comedians it usually means turn the radio off for half an hour.

It was more like w&j pitched their prima-donna attitudes because Burr didn't come in the door asskissing or bringing presents. Same thing happened at KLOL when Jay Moher went on the sister station down the hall, they didn't like it. Actually the funniest interview was when Robert Plant and Jimmy Page were on and it took Plant about 2 seconds to realize he was dealing with a couple of intellectual hicks. He really made w&j sound like Hee-Haw! and totally made fools of them.
:p

Did you hear it? No. Burr was a jerk. He wasn't funny and he wouldn't really talk to them. All he wanted to do was sell his Improv show and he did a piss poor job. Talk about a prima-donna attude, Mohr pitched a fit because he was an ass and W&J didn't kiss his ass. W&J tell the comedians ahead of time that their show is not the comedy club. They prefer to have a conversation with them instead of listening to them do their whole act and laugh jokes that aren't funny. Pruett and Shannon have the same approach. That's why 9 times out of 10 comedians are the worst guests.
 
And it's Funny for one jock to do Three voices (cant remember if it's Walton or Johnson)? The female, the black guy, and his voice? Or are the listeners just that stupid and think there are more than two people in the studio.
 
Johnson does the voices

Johnson does the voice juggling act. Of the 2, he is the more talented, but that's not saying much. He has his Mr. O black character, that is portrayed as a lazy, stupid, thief that wants white women, his Billy Ed Redneck voice, and the Mr. Kenneth, gay voice. It really is his show, Johnson. Walton could be replaced by someone like Marc Stevens, that might actually be worth listening to. Stevens and Johnson? Nah, it'll never work.

You are right about that! If they were as smart as their bragging, they'd actually have ratings.

Yes, I heard it, so I don't need you to interpret or spin your show.

Newsflash! When nationally known comedians visit a cluster of radio stations, they are there to promote their show, duh!!! As for Mohr, it was hilarious because he ripped w&j apart when they insulted him and they couldn't respond until after he left and they stewed about it for awhile, they've been spinning it since then as Mohr had an attitude. Did the other morning shows that Burr went on say he had tude? No.

Nothing like having a good relationship with a comedy club strained because some morning guys that "jumped the shark" about the same time as Fonzie want to get serious and teach the comedian a lesson about being on the radio. At least Pruett has interview skills and doesn't wallow in a pool of hurt feelings.
 
Funny for one guy to do 3 voices? Ahem! Fred Olson aka Mac Hudson does all the voices on Hudson & Harrigan. In fact, before Randy Hames came on to be Irv Harrigan, Fred was Hudson AND Harrigan, allbeit a short time, in addition to the other voices on the legendary KILT morning show. Incidentally, they are the longest set of H&H in history of the station. The H&H show itself with the others who preceded Fred and Randy, which includes the time that Stevens and Pruitt were H&H, makes it the the longest running morning show in Houston radio history. I'm proud to have been part of it.

Oh, I'm sure you did. Amazing how someone who states over and over how much they hate the show and never listens just happened to tune in that day.

Of course not. The other morning shows don't have any balls. Rod Ryan can say his callers are gay all he wants, but he's still a press release reading tool. Atom and Maria had Kevin Federline on the phone. They read thier scripted questions like good little monkeys and waited until he hung up to trash him. They still have a good relationship with the promoters. The promoter has no control over how the guest acts. All they do is book and drive them to the station. It's up to the guest to get people to come to his or her show. Burr and Moher are bitter, unfunny comics who are still unsuccessful in their 30s/40s. How they both acted on the show is exactly the reason why. And if you tuned in every once in a while so you'd actually know what you're talking about; you'd realize that Pruett and Shannon outright trashed Judy Gold for days after she made a fool of herself on the show.

Maybe not, but they have a lot of qualities that w&j lack, not to mention RATINGS! ;D :D ;D

Don't forget, he's also a no talent, but managed to beat waltn & johnson every time. That's sad. :'( W&j are also press release reading tools of Karl Rove, Mary Matalin, Drudge and that type of ilk.

Unsuccessful in their 30s/40s???!!! They are seen on cable from coast to coast and around the world. They have been on HBO and Comedy Central. They have more money than any Houston on-air talent. They acted appropriately given the fact that the radio guys were rude and didn't want them coming by anyway because they also dropped by several shows. Let's also not forget that these comedians have made statements that White House press release readers/reactionaries walton & johnson would not approve of. In other words, w&j don't like these comedians' politics; and the w&j show is all about politics. :mad:

You are the one who is clueless. The difference is that Pruett and Shannon have more talent in their hangnails than w&j could ever hope to have. Pruett has also earned the respect of others in radio and doesn't look for opportunities to argue with coworkers, sales, promotions, clients, listeners...
W&j could learn from Pruett and the many others that beat them regularly in the ratings how to trash people in way that doesn't come across as scary, psycho, bitter, angry, mean spirited and selfish :mad:.

:p
 
I think the reason you have comedians on the show is so they can talk about their gigs at ________ Comedy Club. I think there is NOTHING worse than a comedian that tries to be a "straight" guest on a radio show. WTF is the point??? I wanna hear a guy that makes me laugh so I'll be inclined to spen 15 bucks to go see him.
