HOW I'M SPENDING MY TIME
Met an old listener when I was out the other afternoon and he wanted to know how I've been spending my time off while I sit out this non-compete period of my old CBS contract. It occurred to me this question keeps coming up in run-ins or emails, etc., so I thought I'd address it here and tell you what I told that guy. So there I was, sittin' on this bar stool watchin' the 12 o'clock news, talkin' like a damn fool, OH! and by the way I watched a lot of tv those first few months but by now I'd given up hope on those afternoon soaps and a bottle of cold brew. So I say to the guy, "Is it any wonder I'm not crazy? Is it any wonder I'm sane at all?"
Thing of it is is I'm so tired of losing and it feels like I've got nothing to do and all day to do it. Sometimes I go out for a drive, you know, out for a cruise, but I've no place to go and all day to get there. Is it any wonder I'm not a criminal? Is it any wonder I'm not in jail? Is it any wonder I've got too much time on my hands, it's ticking away with my sanity. I've got too much time on my hands. Hard to believe such a calamity. I've got too much time on my hands and it's ticking away from me.
Well, I'm a jet fuel genius, I can solve the world's problems without even trying. I have dozens of friends and the fun never ends...that is as long as I'm buyin'. Is it any wonder I'm not the president? Is it any wonder I'm null and void? Is it any wonder I've got too much time on my hands. It's ticking away at my sanity. I've got too much time on my hands, it's hard to believe such a calamity. I've got too much time on my hands and it's ticking away from me.
Too much time on my hands. Too much time on my hands. Too much time on my hands.
And there you have it...how I'm spending my time.

You could have always kept your show going by doing podcasts. That would have been fun to listen to.

I would say this comment STYNX, but it was actually pretty clever. Nice one.

Quoting Tommy Shaw is the final step into dementia. May God save your soul.

Clever Jeff - tell 'em without tellin' 'em

I always wondered what the line was after "Is it any wonder I'm not the president". Thanks Jeff!

LoL...As I was reading this I was thinking at first "Omg, he's repeating himself over and over...he's loosin it".
Sorry...I listen to country.
Po po Jeff. I can't wait for January 1st, 2009 too.
I can't listen to ACDC's Dirty Deeds (I believe that's the name) without getting choked up. Shoot, I sing along using the D&D intro lyrics.

Since you are more than half way through your non compete I hope that we can all look forward to you hopefully telling us that WRIF is going to put Mike out to pasture and bring REAL talk to the morning show again :)

Wow, Jeff, THAT should be a song!!!!
July 29, 2008 8:18 AM
That is probably the most interesting post you've made since you started this blog =;^)

Pam is referring to the song TNT from AC/DC's first record, which was converted into the D&D theme song by the band Dirty Deeds in a most awesome fashion.
We all have songs that effect us this way. For me it is:
"She's using her head again
She's using her head
She's using her head again
And I'm giving the dog a bone."
It's the love songs that make me all misty, but I'm just an old fashioned romantic...

I just heard that very song on my way home from work this morning! And, now I miss The Deminski and Doyle Show more than ever!

you could always shave your head! lol

Thank you deathpool :-) I was close.
Of course now that I mentioned that song, everyone will hear it every day on the radio now. That's how it works.
July 29, 2008 5:05 PM
Ok, you have lost it....You need to see a doctor...lol

As soon as you know where you're going after the non-compete is up you'll have to let all of us listeners who miss you know.
I just had a conversation with a co-worker talking in all quotes and sound clips you used to use on the show. You're definitely missed. We need good talk radio on in Detroit...

We could use your help with this playa play book... anyone is free to edit or add new items to it.
