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.)
