Radio Debut: Uncle Larry, 9 ET

They say you only get one first impression.  But Larry doesn't care.  Dispite having a serious learning disability (illiteracy), he plans to count down your top 40 songs that you requested at radiocitrus@gmail.com tonight at 9:00 PM eastern.

Send in your voicemails at 951-817-7268 and Larry will play as many of them as he can.  Due to popular demand, he may not be able to play 'em all.  

He'll keep the airwaves 'sassy' all evening long!

And don't worry - the live shows will be coming back.  Things are a bit crazy, working two jobs, still under-employed.  Recession = good times!

Larry ... 9:00 Eastern.  BE THERE!

Steering Wheel Falling Off

It sounds like a lame excuse, but it may mean tonight's live show may start late or not at all.

I was driving Meinen Wunderauto when the wheel started feeling loose, almost like it was ready to fall off. Now I'm 50 miles away and trying to figure out what best to do without getting shafted by a mechanic.

Anyway, it's still early ... and I may make it back in time. But if you hear a repeat broadcast, or just the automated loop, you'll know why.

Update: I called my favorite shady mechanic, Guido. He pulled Das Wunderauto back behind the Taco Bell on Matin Luther King Blvd., next to his horse trailer (which he calls a "mobile repair unit.") Guido saw the airbag and got scared and told me "hey man, I don't touch that stuff." (Bad experience in Gulf War I, I think). I'm now trying to fix it myself. Updates coming later... stay tuned.

Update: Anybody know how to disable an airbag so it doesn't explode?

Update: Guido's buddy Paul gives me a 1-in-5 shot of blowing a finger off trying to fix my car, versus a 1-in-20 shot of my steering wheel falling off if I try to drive home as-is. I'm taking those odds pretty seriously since one guy walked over, wallet open, telling Paul he "likes those odds." So I'm going to drive home. Wish me luck!

Update: If I'm ever going to do any live shows forever (or anything, for that matter), I really need to fix my car so I don't run off the road.

So it pains me to announce that the live show will (most likely) be POSTPONED. Instead, I'll tape a show late, late tonight which will run tomorrow night featuring your voicemails to 951-817-RANT. Make requests, gripe about Nancy Pelosi, or whatever. I'll try to work every voicemail into the show.

Excuse Our Dust

Mi Amigos -

I'm sure you are very aware by now that Friday's live show hasn't been repeating. And the stream keeps quitting.

That's because I've been having internet trouble. And oddly enough, it has not been Comcast's fault this time! (I'd mention what has been causing me trouble, but a picture is worth a thousand words).

With a little bit of free time tonight, I may be able to get a 9 ET/PT night show rebroadcast lined up. I also have plans to link directly to uStream's archive of the show, if you'd like to listen on demand.

Both of those should be up in the next few days.

The only thing holding me back is giving Rev. O'Grady a ride to the airport. It seems he needs to temporarily flee the country. Something to do with Slap Chop and a defamation law suit. (It sounded complicated).

Anyway, he wants a ride because he's afraid the van may draw too much attention in the airport parking lot. Especially after what Bill Cosby did to the front when he backed his Hyundai Elentra into it. (Apparently Cosby rolls in style)

Don't forget the RadioCitrus Wikipedia contest, with results coming up this Friday at 9 PM.

And west coast listeners, don't forget to call in starting at 6 PM, as your 9 PM rebroadcast is ... a re-broadcast, which means I'm not taking calls. I'm probably eating. Or swimming in my ghetto apartment complex pool.

Always looking for suggestions: radiocitrus@gmail.com

Later!

Live Show Today!

Howdy from the West!

I'm getting everything together for live show number two. Phone lines open starting at 9:00 Eastern Time, right here on RadioCitrus.com. Feel free to get a few comments in before the show, as well via the RantLine:

9 5 1 - 8 1 7 - R A N T

Playing hot hits from the RadioCitrus studios!

Coming up on tonight's show:

• Contest: Guess which YTMND this sound comes from.
  
• Battle: Vince v. Gregory Brothers
  
• Where has all the Swine Flu gone?
• California is burning, again.
• How long can your RadioCitrus Wikipedia entry last?
  

And we may even get a visit from RadioCitrus' oldest, and dearest homie, the famous Rev. Steve O'Grady, whom we are trying to convince into buying a Slap Chop because it comes with a free Graty.

Later!

Next Show: Friday, May 8

Howdy all!

The launch party was a huge success! Thank you to everyone who called in. I believe you called in from Long Island, Virginia, eastern Pennsylvania, Denver, Tallahassee, Canada's only "real" province, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and many, many other points I can't think of off the top of my head. (Oh yeah, Nebraska too. Thanks for reminding me).



As you know, I am running "Worst of the Live Show" all this week at various times of the day, if you want to tune in and hear yourself and friends again. All times eastern: 9 AM, 2 PM, 9 PM, and midnight.

In the meantime, feel free to leave a voice message at: (951) 817-RANT (that's 7268).

I am planning on another live show this Friday. Subject to change if something more exciting comes along (dating, catastrophic systematic economic collapse, etc.)

I'll keep you posted if something comes up. If not, same time (9 ET, 6 PT), same channel.

Later!
