  1. I'm gonna watch something less depressing. Is "Leaving Las Vegas" streaming anywhere?
  2. Wonderful lady. A trailblazer. When she had a variety show and put a black dancer on it, advertisers threatened to drop out, so she put him on MORE. Cancelled not long after that. She wanted to be a Forest Ranger but women weren't allowed in those days. Not fair and a bad break for her, but we all lucked out for it.
  3. Hey, this season is a massive success already, this would be gravy, but they need to be better quick.
  4. Dont worry about how Michigan's defense starts.............they usually start a little soft.
  5. 2 TVs, man ! Incredible post-Christmas sales going on...................git to it ! (I am surrounded by screens. 2 for my personal PC, 2 TVs, 2 for my mobile recording studio, it's like NORAS in here.......its also why I'm so fat).
  6. What I remember about that year (I think it was 1982) but it was so cold for so long that on a very cold Sunday night a gas main in Sterling Heights exploded. It was along Schoenner between 15 &16 Mile Rd. I lived on the NE corner of 16 & Schoenner. You could intensely feel the heat from the 30 foot flame half a mile away, like standing next to a campfire. There wasn't a lot of houses around it like there is now. Here are a couple of picks from that. It was right around the time we hosted the Super Bowl in Pontiac. January 10th or 11th maybe. Heard the explosion, Heard the whoosh.
  7. You learn a lot, but one of the negatives I had was not being able to commit to a relationship, knowing I could move at any time. Plus the radio pay was lousy, so I didn't get to experience as much as I would have liked. A lot of little things about certain areas that were interesting. Like in late summer/early fall in Albuquerque they roast chili peppers on the side of the road in these big metal tumblers over an open flame and it smells incredible, much better than they tasted. I would buy a little bag to just put in my car just for the smell, drive to a burger place and put some of the peppers on the burger. Also with Albuquerque, one thing I never knew was how high up it is - it's a mile high downtown and I was about 800 feet higher where I lived. If you go up to the top of Mt. Sandia they have a restaurant, it's about 8,500 ft. Two drinks hit you pretty hard. Not my picture, but this is what they look like
  8. High temperature in Winnipeg today will be 18 below zero. That's the high..............
  9. My Under The Radar Radio Picks Of The Year for 2021 (In other words, stuff I liked for the show but nobody else probably likes) 1. GOAT GIRL - On All Fours 2. ARLO PARKS - Collapsed In Sunbeams 3. ZOLAS - Come Back To Life 4. PARQUET COURTS - Sympathy For Life 5. KINGS OF CONVENIENCE - Peace Or Love 6. GEESE - Projector 7. SNAIL MAIL - Valentine 8. THE HOLD STEADY - Open Door Policy 9. INHALER - It Won't Always Be Like This 10. POND - 9 Honorable Mention to Lindsey Buckingham's self-titled album, which didn't really fit our general format, but it's a great album. Under The Radar Radio can be heard Sunday nights at 7pm on Ann Arbor's 107one (annarbors107one.com) and The Q-94-5 in Grand Rapids (thisisqmusic.com) and if you're in New Zealand you can hear it on 107.5 AndHow.fm (I can't remember what time it airs when you translate it to our time, probably in the middle of the night).
  10. I'm thrilled for her. Back when she was getting started she would come by our station whenever they were touring. She'd always have Phil & Tim and they're all still together to this day. Extremely nice people.
  11. Very excited for this new season of hockey. Oh wait, we're still in the same season. Feels like they haven't played in a year. I blame Lord Stanley.
  12. I think the Mariners cared.
  13. The Kyle Seager retirement is surprising. Coming off a year with 35 HR and 101 RBI.
  14. Well, if it hadn't been for all the persecution from the cancel culture, he'd have been more focused.
  15. I don't know how to do this if someone can help............ I would like to start a GoFundMe page to raise money to build a cross for Aaron Rodgers to be nailed to. He's sacrificed so much for all of us in these uncertain and dangerous times. How do I get started?
  16. You should email Joe Rogan. He knows more than any medical "doctor" out there.
  17. So strange that it happens right after the documentary aired.
  18. He made a big bet on himself going into this season and he won that bet no matter what happens on Friday or January 10th. I think now that he got Ohio State and a Big Ten Championship off his back, he'll be able to breathe a bit. If he wins another Big Ten title in the next 3 years, he's really there for life.
  19. Nope. Not yet. I think he gets another year. They can still make a run in the playoffs. AFC is up for grabs. Feels like who ever gets hot at the right time could win it. KC and Indy have been on fire lately, but that could change. And Love to say I told you so, but Cincinnati really is a better team this year, I think there's enough of a sample size to confirm that now. Every year there's a Worst-To-First team and this year it's them.
  20. I think Kliff gets another year because they are going to the playoffs.
