Doug Podell Out At WCSX/Detroit



DOUG PODELL OUT AT WCSX
Depature may have been linked to station sale
After spending many-a-decade in Detroit radio, Doug Podell is out as PD for both classic rock WCSX 94.7 and active rock WRIF 101.1.

The Detroit News has reported that it's unclear whether or not if Podell, 64, was let go or quit. His daughter, Lauren was a former reporter for Graham Media NBC affiliate WDIV-TV 4; she resigned last year when it was allegedly said that she was caught saying "I'm tired of reporting on those niggers killing each other".

It's also worth knowing that Podell's stations were recently sold last year to Beasley Media.

The bad news is that the mid-terms are a year away, but at least we're getting a preview of the impending doom of Drumpf.

On Tuesday, both Virginia and New Jersey got new governors, both Democrats. New Jersey got Phil Murphy while Virginia got former doctor Ralph Northam. While Virginia already has a Dem in the governor's office in Terry McAuliffe, Murphy replaces term limited Chris Christie, who was controversial in regards to the Bridgegate scandal and shutting down public beaches while he himself was caught sunbathing at one.

The win for the Dems is definitely bad news for the Repukes, who are now fingering the blame on Drumpf and his backwards politics. Drumpf even tweeted that Northam's opponent, Ed Gillespie, a former aide to George W. Bush didn't match his politics.

In the words of the immortal Artie Lange, "WHAAAAAAAA!"

If the midterms were held today, Drumpf would be in for a big surprise and it's victory for the Dems. With a 38% approval rating and most Americans hoping for no reduction to Obamacare, people do want change, and it's back to having a Democrat in the White House. Drumpf is bitching about how he's created jobs and helped the economy. Well, wait til next year.

When we're all broke and poor, we're all gonna be Democrats.

11.7.17 Bee-otch of the Day: the idiot who smacked into my car


Bee-otch of the Day honors are awarded Monday through Thursday, Bee-otch of the Week is awarded Friday on Chuck69.com.

-------


Name: unknown
Age: old
Occupation: probably retired
Last Seen: near the intersection of 28th and Breton, Grand Rapids, MI
Bee-otched For: piss-poor driving





--

Last week, I was thinking about my last car accident and how thankful I was not to be in one with my current car.

Well, sometimes, even thinking can jinx something.

On Friday, I had finished shopping at Aldi and was sitting at the exit lane, waiting for traffic to clear. Suddenly, I felt a huge thud from the rear of my car. Somebody lovingly rear-ended me. Traffic cleared and I went. I wanted to see if there was a shoulder on the side of 28th Street so I could assess my damage. There wasn't. Meanwhile, the asshole who hit me passed me on the left, speeding down the street. He honked at me and he and his wife were giving me a stink-eye. They were driving a red pickup truck - like the one pictured above - and had a Michigan license plate with a handicapped symbol on it.

I finally was able to pull into a business to assess the damage. Thankfully, it was only a black mark on my bumper. But, still, what an asshole.

As many people know, Grand Rapids is a quickly-growing city, so yes, drivers are becoming more and more idiotic. As a matter of fact, the day before my little fender bender, I was behind a young woman who was sitting at a right turn intersection and she just sat there despite her having the right of way. When the light turned green, she finally started driving down the street and she made me sit through ANOTHER red light. I looked over and whad'ya know, she was texting. A definite SMH moment.

Here in Grand Rapids, there's a YouTube user named "Mr Roadside616" who works as a roadside assistant. He takes videos of idiot drivers who cut lanes, turn onto one way lanes in the wrong direction, red light runners and other assholes who need to have their licenses taken away. Some of his videos have thousands of views, including one that featured a van that cut through five lanes of traffic at the S-Curve. When I get a new cell phone, probably next month, I might convert my current phone into a windshield camera for my car so I can catch bad drivers.

Yes, we're only human, but the thing is, when people can't drive worth a shit, they shouldn't drive, period. I wouldn't be too surprised if that asshole who smacked into me was old and didn't see well. After all, he had a handicapped emblem on his license plate. Maybe it's time to force all drivers 65 and over to yearly drivers exams. From what I've heard, a lot of them get automatic drivers license renewals, even though they're unfit to drive.

Remember, you don't own the road.

11.6.17 Bee-otch of the Day: National Rifle Association


Bee-otch of the Day honors are awarded Monday through Thursday, Bee-otch of the Week is awarded Friday on Chuck69.com.

-------


Name: The National Rifle Association
Age: 146
Occupation: gun nuts
Last Seen: Fairfax, VA
Bee-otched For: another day, another mass shooting





--

This past Sunday proved that your local church isn't the safest place in the world.

As we all know by now, a 26-year-old man, Devin Kelley walked into the First Baptist Church in tiny Sutherland Springs, TX and opened fire, killing 26 people. The dead ranged from only 18 months old all the way up to 77 years old. The dead included eight members of one family and the daughter of the pastor, who was out of town for the day.

Kelley was a man with a troubled past. He was dishonorably discharged from the Air Force for assaulting his wife and young stepson. Although he could not own any guns, he had several in his possession, including a Ruger AR-556 and a few handguns. his former in-laws attended First Baptist, though they were not there that day. After shooting up First Baptist, Kelley jumped into his car while two Good Samaritans chased him down until he crashed his car. Kelley then pulled out a gun and committed suicide.

Not long after the shootings, Drumpf, currently in Japan proclaimed that the shooter's mental health was the bigger issue and not guns. OK, so how in the HELL did he get a gun in the first place?

When a teenage outcast shot up Sandy Hook, nothing was done. When a gay nightclub in Orlando was shot up last year, nothing was done. When 58 people were killed at a country music concert in Las Vegas several weeks ago, nothing was done. Now, we have the worst-ever shooting in Texas history and the worst-ever shooting in a house of worship. And as long as the NRA keeps buying our politicians, nothing will be done.

The point is, this is why we need to get the Repukes out of office. We're allowing shit like this to happen all the time and unless something happens, we'll still have mass shootings everywhere.

In a way, I agree with Drumpf that we need to work on mental care in this country. But how about the gun nuts who think that they need to own an AK-47 or a bump stock like the guns used to mow down over 500 people in Vegas? The only way we can stop all this is to toughen gun laws and ban the sale of all guns that are above a hunting rifle.

At this point, thoughts and prayers aren't enough.

11.2.17 Bee-otch of the Day: Papa John Schnatter


Bee-otch of the Day honors are awarded Monday through Thursday, Bee-otch of the Week is awarded Friday on Chuck69.com.

-------




Name: "Papa John" Schnatter
Age: 55

Occupation: founder/president/CEO, Papa John's Pizza
Last Seen: Jeffersonville, KY
Bee-otched For: blaming black people for his problems




--

Papa John Schnatter is surely the black sheep in the world of pizza.

I'll admit, I used to like his pizza, but because he's turned into a right-winged goon who whips up a piece of cardboard, string cheese and Campbell's tomato soup and calls it pizza.

And don't be fooled by the pepper they put in the boxes, either.

Yesterday, Papa John told his shareholders that sales have been sagging at his pizzerias because he's a big sponsor of the NFL and their players kneeling for the National Anthem are causing their fans to turn them off.

In a statement to the shareholders, Papa said, "This should have been nipped in the bud a year and a half ago. Like many sponsors, we are in contact with the NFL and once the issue is resolved between the players and the owners, we are optimistic that the NFL’s best years are ahead. But good or bad, leadership starts at the top, and this is an example of poor leadership." In the statement, he did not mention NFL commissioner Roger Goodall by name. However, Goodall has expressed his anger towards players who kneel.

Of course, this is coming from a man who is worth $800 million and lives in a $30 million home and yet he pays his employees shit wages and even cut their hours, blaming everything on Obamacare. Oddly enough, Papa John's sales are up, but their stock is down.

You know, Papa John was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. His father owned a bar and John rented out a broom closet in the bar to make his pizzas. Of course, business grew and eventually, John franchised. However, the black athletes who kneel in front of the National Anthem do so because they didn't have that silver spoon that John had. They grew up poor, living in the middle of high crime on the streets. They had to work twice as hard - maybe even more - than people like Papa John to get to where they are now. With Papa John's boyfriend, Drumpf calling these people "sons of bitches" out of disrespect, no wonder why they kneel.

Earlier today, I saw a graphic comparing the late, great Mike Ilitch, the founder of Little Caesars and Papa John. Ilitch cared a lot about his customers and the city of Detroit. He actually worked hard and had a wonderful life in the process. Plus, he gave a lot back, even paying Rosa Parks' rent for the rest of her life. That cannot he said for Papa John, since Ilitch didn't have to rely on daddy. Nope! Just hard work and the know-how when it comes to making pizza. Plus, I prefer Little Caesars Pizza over Papa John's any day, and to make things worse for PJ's, Little Caesars is WAY cheaper than PJ's and they use fresh ingredients.

So there you go. Papa John is a very sad, delusional man. I think he probably went to Drumpf University for his business school training, because he acts like it.

And you thought Sbarro was the worst pizza out there.

11.1.17 Bee-otch of the Day: Donald Trump


Bee-otch of the Day honors are awarded Monday through Thursday, Bee-otch of the Week is awarded Friday on Chuck69.com.

-------



Name: Donald Trump
Age: 71

Occupation: middle schoolgirl
Last Seen: Washington, DC
Bee-otched For: nearing the end... we hope




--

It all started with a tweet against probably one of the smartest men to ever come out of the great state of Michigan.

On Saturday, Drumpf was nice enough to bash Michael Moore, calling his recent Broadway one-man show "The Terms of My Surrender" a "TOTAL BOMB". Moore, showing that he's a few IQ points higher than the de facto president said in a few tweets of his own that 'Terms' was a limited engagement and was slated to close early as-is so he could focus on his other projects, such as a new prime time TV series and a movie bashing Drumpf called "Fahrenheit 11/9".

In his tweets, Moore touched on our country's never-ending war in Afghanistan, the fact that Puerto Rico is still mostly without power and the fact that Prosecutor Mueller already handed out charges for his right-hand men in regards to collusion with Russia.

Well, even though Paul Manafort and Rick Gates plead not guilty, George Papadopoulos did and Drumpf was nice enough to tweet that there's no collusion in regards to Russia. However on Capitol Hill yesterday, reps from tech giants were grilled in response to Russians putting ads on Facebook and Twitter telling people everything from 69% of all veterans hating Hillary Clinton and an image telling people to text a number to vote for the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee instead of going to the polls to vote for her legally.

Now with the terror attack in New York yesterday, some of Drumpf's supporters claim that if there was a travel ban on certain Arabs, this wouldn't have happened. Oh, really? Are all people from the middle east that barbaric? OK, so what about the asshole who opened fire at the country music fans in Las Vegas? Should we ban all Americans because some are gun-toting assholes?

Look, we need common sense here, not a douchebag who thinks that sitting on the shitter at 3 a.m. while tweeting will solve our problems. Hell, Michael Moore has shown that he can run this country better than Drumpf. Look at what he did to my old hometown of Traverse City, MI: he bought out an abandoned theater, remodeled it and made it into one of the best cinemas in the country. He gave this small town of 15,000 a film festival that's loaded every year with beloved celebrities like Madonna, Leonard Maltin, Roger Corman, Gilbert Gottfried, Patton Oswalt, Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave's Tom Morello and even the woman who played Zuzu from "It's a Wonderful Life" came to town one year. Drumpf? While campaigning last year, he landed his plane at Cherry Capitol Airport, but ended up hightailing it to Cadillac, 50 miles south of town. It's kinda like taking a dump in a stranger's house and not flushing. Of all the major candidates last year, only Bernie Sanders campaigned in TC. Chelsea Clinton campaigned for mommy, but made a royal cunt of herself by proclaiming that marijuana kills people. No wonder why Drumpf won the Rust Belt.

The point is, this country cannot afford another four years of Drumpf, let alone these four years. The sooner we can get this prick out of the White House, the better. Will the Russian connection kill him is a hope for many Americans. If there is, he'll know what it'll feel like to be Nixon.

38% and shrinking, baby!
