Program Review: TBTL Fags It Up, Even with Lacy Burbank Gone

For the first time in a long time we caught a tiny bit of TBTL tonight. Apparently Lacy "Big Boned" Burbank was taking one of his many nights off, leaving the show to the high-pitched screech of sidekick Joan Andrews. Our observations:

(1) Joan Andrews, as she does whenever she hosts, did a show dedicated to all things New York. Thank God. If there's one thing that helps the ratings of a local radio show it's covering another city and another city exclusively (NOT). As long as they don't start selling advertising on their faggy podcast this will all work into our master plan of seeing TBTL canceled and replaced with Bob Brinker reruns.

(2) Joan interviewed a pair of lesbos, in the middle of which one of the lesbos starting cursing and had to be "dumped." (That's what happens when you spend your show budget on a sidekick instead of a producer.)

(3) We've already queried about Joan's "made for newspaper" cackle-shriek voice, but what is with her neurotic, breathless, gasping style of talk when she's hosting? She sounds like a nervous high school DJ ... "first day on the air!"

(4) On two separate occasions Joan pleaded with the member of the audience not to send her any mean instant messages. This reminded us of Luke's occasional on-air meltdowns when he accuses people of being out to get him. It's all pretty telling and pretty faggy.

One thing that didn't change was the atrocious prep. Each time they wanted to play a clip there were several awkward moments and on-air references to which file, which folder, which directory said clip was stored in ... Lacy's chubby thumbprints are still all over this trainwreck.

All in all a typical night of butt-pirating on 710 khz.

UPDATE: She ended the show by just playing 10 minutes of audio from last night's episode of Late Night with Conan O'Brien. Why do they even bother with having a radio show at night? Just play the NBC audio feed every night and save $$$, KIRO-AM.

Third Week in a Row: TBTL and R&D are The Biggest Losers! Congrats, Fags!

For the third week in a row, Ron & Don and Lacy "Big Boned" Burbank are KIRO's biggest losers, generating a pitiful amount of web traffic as indicated by relative comments over their 10 most recent posts.

Dori Monson Show - 513 comments in last 10 posts
Dave Ross Show - 79 comments in last 10 posts
R&D Show - 22 comments in last 10 posts
TBTL - 22 comments in last 10 posts (which includes 3 by the host himself)

How much longer until they put these two dogs down?

Analysis: Another Week - R&D and TBTL Still Suck

Another week has gone by, it's time for our regular Friday analysis of KIRO blog stats. This time we're rolling in those for sister-station KTTH. Let's recap:

KIRO: 52,000 watt FM signal, 50,000 watt AM signal, online stream

KTTH: 50,000 watt AM signal

And now, the stats (comments over the last 10 posts on each blog):

Dori Monson Show (KIRO) - 340 comments
Dave Ross Show (KIRO) - 134 comments
David Boze Show (KTTH) - 35 comments
Meathead & the Moron Show (KIRO) - 33 comments
Joan Andrews Featuring Luke Burbank (KIRO) - 21 comments*

*note: this blog is the only one in which the blogger also leaves comments, creating an artificial inflation of the number of comments

Well, another week has gone by and R&D and TBTL have - again - completely sucked ass.

Whose ass? Probably each others.

TBTL: The Loneliest Radio Show There Ever Was

Jealously eying the success that stations like WKQZ had experienced in attracting a young demographic with Mancow, or KLSX with Adam Corolla, KIRO responded by hiring a slightly paunchy, somewhat effeminate, former "star" (ahem) of public access radio with an atrocious lisp named Luke Burbank to reel in the same big numbers for them. This was widely considered a brilliant move on KIRO's part (by Luke Burbank).

After being criticized during his initial shows for liberally "borrowing" schtick from other radio programs, Burbank reclined to depend on his own devices - bad move.

In his latest trend-making bit, Burbank devoted an entire episode of his program - the Joan Andrews Show featuring Luke Burbank - to discussing ... the theater! The details of this episode are contained in this summary blog post of Burbank's headlined with an image from Oklahoma!

As sad as this bumbling, butt-pirating faggotry is - in general - the saddest part is that the only comment in this post (we've previously reported that Burbank gets fewer comments on his blog than even those for low-wattage pirate radio station KTTH-AM) was made by himself! Sadder still is that the comment laments that more people aren't making comments!

You can't make this queerness up!

Off the Dial: KUOW Offers Photostream of Local Retards

KUOW-FM, Seattle affiliate of official state broadcaster NPR (sister network to other state broadcasting services such as KCNA), recently posted this photo gallery of local retards.

KUOW-FM is funded, in part, by millions in government subsidies - each dollar of which they ungratefully claim is inconsequential and not really needed due to the effectiveness of their semi-annual panhandling - while battered women's shelters go chronically underfunded.

The conclusion? KUOW hates battered women.

Obama Election Would Mean Burbank Fired, WDK Endorses Obama

Despite what washed-up, thirty-something Hollywood B-listers claim, voting is not cool. And, in general, we really don't care about political tomfoolery, however, today on the Dori Monson Show, Dori noted that a Democratic president would sign the Fairness Doctrine into law. The result, for KIRO-AM, would be the need to replace one liberal host with a conservative one.

Guess who would get the shaft?

That's right: the Joan Andrews Show featuring Luke Burbank.

In light of this analysis, WeDislikeKatie is now officially endorsing Barack Hussein Obama for President of these United States. Allahu Akbar!

New Stats Reveal: R&D and TBTL are the Kings of Poop Island

Due to our out-of-townedness we did not have an opportunity to compile our weekly blog comment stats for K-I-R-O, we do it here now. Over their preceding 10 posts, the K-I-R-O blogs have each generated ... [drum roll] ...

#1 - Dori Monson Show - 218 comments (~21 comments per post)

#2 - Dave Ross Show - 107 comments (~10 comments per post)

#3 - Joan Andrews with Luke Burbank - 35 comments (~3 comments per post)

#4 - Meathead and the Moron Show - 19 comments (~2 comments per post)

More amusing still is that the David Boze Show (who? we'd never heard of it either) generated a whopping 76 comments, quadrupling Meathead & the Morons blog stats (and doubling Joan Andrews), despite the fact that show is heard on a low-wattage AM station with no live-stream, as opposed to Meathead & the Moron and Joan Andrews which are heard on a high-wattage AM station with a FM simulcast with an internet live-stream!

Congratulations to the (still) reigning kings of poop island: Joan Andrews and Meathead & the Moron!


(BTW - this blog, despite having no radio signal to promote it, has generated 15 comments over the preceding 10 posts ... 4 less than Meathead & the Moron.)

Luke Burbank - No Longer Claiming Just to Have Pre-Pubescent Characteristics, Now Dressing As One ...

We've noted before how creepy it is when Luke Burbank, the 41-year old host of the Joan Andrews Show featuring Luke Burbank, engineers situations that allow him to call attention to his supposed "boyish" physical characteristics that, apparently, only he can perceive (e.g. "I can't grow facial hair, high school boys can grow more facial hair than me! Tee hee hee!"). But this really takes the cake. He's now taken to dressing up as a young boy. Peter Pan Syndrome out of control. Creeptacular rating of 11.

(BTW - we are back now, after a much deserved holiday.)

High School Boys to Luke Burbank: "No Thanks, Gramps"

We previously reported that Luke Burbank had invited high school bands to record his theme song and he would play the Top 5 on Joan Andrews radio show.

Well, the results are in and all manner of butt-pirating abounds!

Luke will not be playing the Top 5 songs. He will be playing the Top 3 songs. Why? Because only 3 bands entered! That's right, not only did he not get enough high school boys to enter to even necessitate selecting a "Top 5" he didn't even get enough to default all entries into the "Top 5"!

(You can't make this bumbling faggotry up!)

Looks Painful

Who's giving it and who's getting it in this picture?

mynorthwest.com - Week in Review

Our random sample of the total number of comments received by all four KIRO shows on their respective blogs over the course of their 10 most recent posts:

Dori Monson Show - 380 comments (~ 38 per post)
Meathead & the Moron Show - 111 comments (~ 11 per post)
Dave Ross Show - 53 comments (~ 5 per post)
Joan Andrews Show with Luke Burbank - 52 comments (~5 per post)

If this were a South Pacific island, "TBTL" would be a target for butt-pirating! (I wonder if Luke has been operating under the impression it was?)

POLL RESULTS!

The results are in! Our exclusive WeDislikeKatie poll has revealed that WDK visitors think Katie most sounds like The Wicked Witch of the West.

Full results:

Wicked Witch of the West - 51%
a Kazoo - 35%
Frank Shiers - 10%
French Stewart - 4%

We've designed the question for our next poll to especially appeal to all the pillow-biters who visit our site. Namely: whom do you think has the smallest schlong - Don, Luke or Katie?

"Qweerly I'm weeding the wong pawhlitical bwogs."

"Qweerly I'm weeding the wong pawhlitical bwogs."
- Luke Burbank, 10-2-08

After listening to the VP debate on KIRO-AM we heard a tiny bit of the Joan Andrews Show featuring Luke Burbank before we could kill the volume. Sidekick Joan was relegated to call screener, possibly the first time she's actually done any work during this whole meandering train wreck of a show.

Caller 1 - This caller was openly gay (which is okay, nothing wrong with that) and had a big ol' lisp and you could tell Luke was jeaaaallll-ous!!! Luke's lisp got ratcheted up about 10 times during this exchange, you could just imagine the saliva hitting the microphone.

Caller 2 - Blah Blah Blah ... some hick from Alaska droning on about how great Palin is, was, whatever. Luke's contribution to the discussion: "Hmm," "Interesting," "Oh," "I see," - typical NPR interview style. Burbank could have been masturbating to an issue of Tiger Beat during this call for all we know. (actually we did hear a high-pitched, girlish squeal right before he went to commercials, so you never know)

Caller 3 - Luke hung-up on this caller. "Uh oh --- oops, I think I hung-up on him ... Dominique - call back!"

Caller 4 - Stutter-train!!! (Don't people fucking screen these calls?)

We turned it off after this.

Katie is Soooo Ugly ...

Seriously, don't you fags have anything better to do than send me these? Well, whatever, here's another one from some reader. These are getting worse by the day:

Katie is so ugly her husband goes with her to the Ron & Don Show so he doesn't have to kiss her goodbye!

Katie is Sooooo Oily ...

What the fuck is up with all the readers sending in unsolicited "Katie is So -" jokes? Well, whatever, here's another ...

Katie is so oily, the Democrats think we invaded Iraq because Katie was reporting for KIRO from Baghdad!

BTW - Meathead just did his periodic "MILF vs. The Co-Ed" contest again tonight. Unlike most editions of this contest, the Co-Ed was, in fact, a male. How the fuck does Meathead expect to "compensate" trotting some tight-assed twink around? Come on!

Tonight on TBTL: BUTT PIRATES!!!

Haaaaay boo! OMG, YOU MENS! We just heard a promo for the Joan Andrews Show with Luke Burbank and the topic for tonight is ...

(BUTT) PIRATES!

Now we've taken a lot (some) heat on this blog for referring to the butt pirating way the swing shift gang on KIRO-AM has been queering-up 710 khz, so it's a bit redeeming to us that Luke is having a (butt) pirate expert on the show tonight. We feel like we've just pulled-off the blog equivalent of prison raping each of the "10s."

This could be funny enough that we actually tune-in to the Joan Andrews Show with Luke Burbank.

Well ... maybe not that funny ...

Luke Burbank - Hipster or Bear?

Two things we know about Luke Burbank: (1) he has an absolutely atrocious lisp and (2) he constantly refers to himself as a "hipster" in a way no real hipster would.

The lack of self-awareness of this guy is unbelievable but tragically amusing, nonetheless.

We know we've called Luke fat before. Husky may, in fact, be a more accurate term. Hipsters are young and slender (and generally have normal proportions, not a weird elephant boy head). Husky guys who are old are not called "hipsters" they are called - to use the butt pirate vernacular - "bears."

Katie is Soooo Nasty ...

From a reader:


Katie is so nasty that when she screened my call I ended up getting an ear infection!

KIRO NAZIS TAKE ACTION AGAINST BLOGGER FOR CRITICISING DJ

Our exclusive WeDislikeKatie investigation into the voter registration status of KIRO DJ Meathead of the Meathead and the Moron Show has landed the blogger here in a cauldron of lukewarm water. The limp-wristed Nazi's over at KIRO-AM have banned us from their lame ass website, not because of anything we posted there, but apparently because of what we posted here.

That's okay, it just means the stakes are a bit higher.

In the course of our WeDislikeKatie investigation we uncovered bemusing information about another individual that we declined to expose as we considered it "off limits." We've changed our mind. Once verified we anticipate a second, revealing WDS expose. Stay tuned, you voyeurs!
