Happy Easter all...
I’m loving the lineup tonight...Jack B walking in the Easter Parade (classic)...a SIX SHOOTER! with my man Jimmy Stewart...Our Miss Brooks rarely disappoints...it’ll be interesting to hear a Lincoln Memorial concert from ‘39...and ending strongly with a Lights Out!...
How’s the holiday been? He is risen!
Yes, He is risen! Happy Easter, Vision!
How you billed Murray up there cracked me up.
How’s it going with you? Any interesting news?
You're very observant. I'm thinking of adding in a protest description to the thread about our annoying little SJW. If you want to add anything to it let me know. Will work on it as some point, I've had enough of this little man uncomfortable with life.
New news...not really. BBQ, fighting crabgrass, a scooter repair. Oh, I won't be around on 4/30 due to a business trip to Peru. If you want to post the thread fine, otherwise due to Murray's destruction of the show I expect it won't hurt to skip a week.
Our Easter has been quiet. We visited a different church this morning to see our former pastor preach as a fill-in, and there was hardly anyone there. But it was good to see him and his wife and son.
I think you have Murray pegged, and I don’t need to add to your description. We can barely listen to him at all, because he’s unable to resist injecting his liberal nonsense even down to the messages he perceives in the episodes he chooses. We pop in sometimes for the Johnny-Gunsmoke-Dragnet and other regulars. While you’re on your business trip, you’re right that it won’t hurt to miss a week. I’m disgusted with what that guy has done to the Big Broadcast.
Happy Easter. You’re just in time for Jack Benny walking down Wilshire Blvd.
Phil aren’t you a little conceited?
Nah, conceited is when you think you have it and don’t.
If you didn’t hear the Treasury Star Parade you need to go back and listen. THAT was produced by the US Federal gov in ‘42. Lovely and considering the current state of affairs, sad.
Happy Easter everybody.
I can’t stand to listen to this Murray person.
We have a small firepit fire and BBQ steaks tonight.
Nice weather on the coast today.
Almost finished with my radio projects. I’ll post pictures soon.
We tuned in and caught the end of Gunsmoke, and then Murray comes on and can’t help himself saying something COMPLETELY STUPID about President Trump and his wife maybe or maybe not being at the Easter Egg Roll. Murray, stop it. Stop with your snowflake nonsense, PLEASE!!! Needless to say, we tuned right back out.
Listening to Dragnet... the store clerk counted change properly: counted up. (It’s a pet peeve of mine)
Viking, I’m soo tempted to tell you about snowflake Murray. The kids nowadays use the word “douche” to describe people like him. I won’t do that.
Oh, wait. Did I just do that?
PS: In answer to your question, he lobbed a totally baseless, idiot insult at President Trump and his wife implying that they may not even show up at the Easter Egg Roll. Murray’s a D*****!!!
