Embarassment of Radio Riches
By Mitch Berg
We’re about two weeks away from the Minnesota State Fair, which is always the highlight of the the NARN’s year. But that’s so big, it needs its own post.
Just wanna point out that Saturday’s broadcast is going to be an embarassment of radio riches, and that if you don’t tune in, generations yet unborn will repudiate your short-sightedness.
For starters, Duane “The Generalissimo” Patterson, ace producer of the Hugh Hewitt show, will be guest-hosting with me live from LA. It’s always fun talking with Duane, and he loves getting calls from Minnesotans. Especially about Disneyland rides.
At 1:30, we’ll be joined by Representative Michele Bachmann, of the Sixth Congressional District. We’ll be talking about healthcare and the 2010 race, among other things.
And we saved the best for last; I’ll be joined at 2PM by “Doc” Pepping, one of the original members of E Company of the 506th Airborne Regiment, better known to recent generations as Stephen Ambrose’s “Band of Brothers”. Doc was one of the original Toccoa boys, a medic during the Normandy assault, and has a lot to talk about. He’ll be joined by Dave Cruz from “Honor The Fallen” and Mark Schultz from “Vettes for Vets”. It’ll be crowded in the studio, but the fun kind.
Mark it down, and join us!

Cool!!! Another opportunity for Peev to lob insults at Rep. Bachmann in this comment thread yet gutlessly avoid calling the show!

Peevy don’t lose that number…
But I’ll be tuning in to hear Doc Pepping.

I for one am looking forward to Peev addressing the Congresswoman with thoughtful and probative questions.
You can all stop laughing now.

*fade to scene of the cowardly peev… arguing with the mirror… trying to find the guts to pick up the phone…*

I will be at the Minnesota State Fair on Thursday rather than Saturday. I will be accompanied by my wife, my sister, my sister in law & various nieces and nephews of varied complexions & cultural persuasions.
I will miss the Mitch Marathon on Saturday. I will, however, get corn-dogs & pronto-pups cooked in fresher oil.
Remember, you who show up at the State Fair on Saturday, that your oil has already cooked my batter-covered hotdog. If that grosses you out, I’m sure you can find a salad someplace.
Reminder: Deep fried cheese curds may be dipped in barbecue sauce, mustard, or horse radish. ketchup is out of the question.
So say I.
