He Blogged a Guy, Just To Watch Him Die

Folsom James Phillips - longtime commenter and email correspondent on all the NARN blogs - posts on the Monkeys that we finally met after all these years.

It was a pleasure!

But I had to respond to this:

It was nice to finally meet Captain Ed, Mitch "Cough Button" Berg, Professor King Banion, and The Rocket Man. A nicer and classier bunch of guys you'll never meet.
He may or may not be right!

But as to the "cough button" - we have none. At the Patriot, we're all in the same room, and there are no cough buttons, just the "on-off" buttons for the various microphones. And even if I turn mine off to cough, the other guys' mikes are still on (unless we have a guest on the phone, in which case I turn the whole studio off to cough).

It's easier to kick the virus than to explain the Patriot's studio...

Mitch,

I hope you don't take offense at my nick name for you. Thought it was much better than "Five Second Mitch."

When you had the big time cough attack subbing for Hugh, I was stuck in traffic in Los Angeles and thought I would die laughing. You made the traffic tolerable, if just for a moment. Well, a lotta moments.

No offense!

Five second wha? Never heard of it...

Glad to help with traffic!

Oh Mitch, Even I remember the post. I guess the cat is out of the bag now *laughing*

The opening:

Five second Mitch

In my ten years of producing radio, there have been a lot of hosts that have done the show from a remote location, which is always an experience bordering on the bizarre, because usually you want to have eyesight between the host and the producer and engineer for cues, when to drop callers, etc. On the other hand, it can also produce some of the more hysterical off-air comments. Such was the case when the Northern Alliance boys hosted the Hugh Hewitt Show on Tuesday.

And lest there be any vicious attack on RadioBlogger, I have backup copies on two hard drives. It was one of many moments of great hilarity on NARN, perhaps only surpassed by the Great Golden Gopher Attack on Saint Paul.
