After an hour on the phone with my bank, we discovered that it was some kind of music streaming service out of Paris.
Anyway, the bank refunded the charges but also canceled my debit card, which means I can’t access my account for six to eight work days.
Lord knows when I will have access to cold hard cash again. This shit is enough to drive a man to drink.
From BJs, off we go to Hurricane Alley, a funky restaurant in Pompano Beach with huge sandwiches to die for, and I, of course, also ordered a Bloody Mary.
Unfortunately, I have a pinched nerve in my leg, which makes standing very uncomfortable, and as the clock slowly ticked its way to the 3 o’clock departure time, I was in extreme pain.
Then, as I reached for another, the Captain put his hand up and said, “Not only are you riding free today, but you’re drinkin’ free too.”
Things started to spiral down from there because you don’t put a radio guy near an open bar.
(Big Bob and I are pictured on top enjoying one of many adult beverages aboard the Tiki Taxi.)
Turning data into useful information requires some creativity.
The big difference between Justin Trudeau and his father is the whole world listened when Pierre spoke.
It is said that having loved and lost is better than never having loved. However, how many lovers do you have to lose before you become a loser?
Hollywood doesn’t portray America as it is; they portray it as they want it to be.
A desperate man is the most dangerous man of all.
Radio should have never given up on selling cume. When clients asked how many people heard their commercial, radio should have replied, “Perhaps all of them.”
When someone says, “It’ll only be a minute, why is it never a minute.”
Why do black people who represent 13.6% of the American population, have not only the government’s full attention but are also prominently featured in most movies and TV commercials?
Is it just me, or do the people the police are seen beating are mostly criminals?
Do you think a person who sells drugs to children should have any rights?
The folks I fear most are Muslims wearing backpacks.
Every party needs a pooper.
I bet social media is pissed that Caitlan Clark, kicked everybody’s ass during March Madness, huh?
COMMENTS
Geo: It takes a pair of award-winning ears to pick that stuff up, Dougie, and you’ve always had ’em.
PS (and between the two of us); Every time I look at David Fields’ Audacy stock price, I’m tempted to buy a few thousand shares just to torment him. For the price of a cup of Starbucks, I could practically own the company…lol. (CFTR)
Geo: I ain’t saying a word, Jody.
I grew up on PERSONALITY RADIO. Joey Reynolds, Dick Biondi, Wolfman Jack, The Greaseman, Howard Stern, Shotgun Tom Rivers, John Rode, Scott Carpenter, Hal Weaver. Even Cactus Jack Wells could blow this format shit out of the radio water!.
Time to burp the brain again! This is 2023, and radio needs a new playbook if you haven’t noticed.
Dave Charles (still crazy…..for great radio) (CFTR)
Radio Geo: If you had heard what I heard at CFTR in 1972, Dave, you would have understood. Most of the talent I worked with during my career is in some Hall of Fame. (Ron Chapman’s in three of them.) Obviously, they didn’t get the memo.” 🙂
Geo: Thank you so much, Brent. It’s been an honor to work with you and the KZST staff for all these years, not to mention how excited I am about doing it again next year.

Tom Hoyt: Fremch tunes you can hum….. think Carmen by Georges Bizet; Edith Piaf, “La Vie en Rose” and “Non, je regret rien”; Charles Aznavour; “She”; Le Compagnon de le Chanson (the original “The Three Bells”, country hit by The Browns) (Tiki Taxi)
Geo: Tom, I’m humming them all right now.
Tim Moore: Hoyt knows his music, George! He can actually carry a tune in a thimble!
(just messin’ with ya, Tom) (Tiki Taxi)
Geo: He also Captains the BENT quite nicely, Tim, and is very generous with the adult beverages.
Tom Hoyt: Yeh, make that a big bucket, and I’ll carry it! (Tiki Taxi)
Geo: Tom, make sure that bucket doesn’t have a hole in it.:-)
