What Kind of Radio Show is This?

At one time What The? was a show that featured good music along with informative essays about artists and the community. It was a nice show the whole family could enjoy. That changed one Saturday Morning when Craig went to the Moss Street Market. It was there that he met an odd fellow named Footbread Kenny selling bread kneaded using the feet of attractive women. Craig was at a crossroads in his life - he could either walk away or ask Footbread Kenny if he would like to be interviewed on the radio. Unfortunately Craig stayed and interviewed Footbread Kenny for twenty minutes about the history and the making of Footbread. After that interview, Craig and What The? were never the same again.

The music and ten minute monologues about the life of people like Pat Boone were slowly being replaced by interviews with the most bizarre members of society. Instead of having musicians show up in the studio, Johnny Carson impersonators started appearing and strange Armenian men were having objects fall on them.

What The? is now Craig’s vision of humour and entertainment. Of course Craig’s humour is a little different than most people. To get an idea of what the show is like, imagine if they did a sequel to Apocalypse Now and have the Martin Sheen character come home from the war and forced to put on a comedy radio show.

“I put on a show as if I am doing it just for myself, and to be honest there are mornings when I probably am” - Craig (last name witheld due to arrest warrant in Liberia), host, producer of What The?

Regular Guests on the Show

Tommy Carson - Canada's Number One Johnny Carson Impersonator

Tommy Carson is a weekly guest on the show giving his insight into show business. Tommy is an “old school” (do people still say that phrase) lounge singer who performs in the hottest cities in Nevada like Laughlin, Sparks, and Elko. Tommy, sometimes known as the “Singer with the Zinger”, is currently on the road promoting his debut CD Live in Laughlin which showcases his “alternative lounge” style of music and comedy. Tommy loves life and helping others which is evident in his charity work with the less fortunate. As Tommy says, “I like helping the little people, the downtrodden, the grunts, the losers of life who will never be as good as me. That’s why I appear on this crappy show” His charity work includes campaigns against Diabetes, Breast Cancer and the controversial “Butts for Bums Campaign” in which Tommy collects cigarette butts for the homeless. Until Tommy becomes really famous, you can listen to Tommy every week on What The?.

A part time actor, Kide has appeared in the Play “Klondike Rag” and once shook the hand of James Garner.

Past injuries include an electrical shock from a defective Scientology E-Meter, an attack by a gang of cats and a severe groin pull while celebrating Richard Simmons birthday. Even though he may have bad luck and walks with a limp, Kide has a heart of gold as he recently gave Tommy Carson a place to stay when he was kicked out of the house by his girlfriend	Craig’s boss, the Managing General Partner of Programming Relations who is large and in charge. Otto's second wife, Andrea, dated Tommy Carson for two months in 2005. They broke up after she decided to go to Thailand and get a sex change. Unconformed reports have Otto and Andrea, or should I say Andrew, back together again.	Former CKDA DJ from the 1970’s, and still lives like everyday is 1979, because he hasn’t worked in radio since then. Complains that radio today is garbage as it “has gone all corporate, with their computers and CD’s. They forgot that it was about the music man, not the money ” AC is currently trying to sell his dishwasher because he is forced to move into a smaller basement suite. “CKDA Pension Plan….not so good. We lived for the moment in the 70’s, didn’t plan for the future …. Didn’t think we were going to get old” To inquire about AC's dishwasher, send him an email at: accrunch_dishwasher4sale @yahoo.com
Psychic Ghost of Paul Lynde	Footbread Kenny	Barry the Safety Moose
This is the worst character on the show. He is not funny, entertaining and should have never been put on the air. But unfortunately What The? gave the Psychic Ghost of Paul Lynde a life and now we can't kill it. He shows up once in a while when you least expect just to ruin a show that needs no help in doing it on its own Psychic Ghost of Paul Lynde's Myspace Account	He sells bread with the dough kneaded with the feet of attractive models. He insists this is not a foot fetish thing, its a old Siberian tradition were miners who had their hands frozen off were put to work kneading bread for the townsfolk with their feet. You can see Kenny on a regular basis at the Moss Street Market or you can visit his website Footbread Kenny's webpage	He was the former spokesmoose for BC Parks until he was arrested for dealing drugs. He still is promoting safety to kids, but it more geared to drug safety. LITTLE KNOWN FACT: Barry the Safety Moose is the brother of the Mariner Moose. Unfortunately the Mariner Moose disowned Barry for dating outside his species Barry's Slogan "Don't use drugs - they will destroy your life. So sell them to people you don't like."

 

 

Last week we interviewed cook/nut Larry Paul who gave us a recipe for Meat Krispies Squares. (Hey, it was the start of a long weekend and I had a hard time finding guests) It's regular Rice Krispies Squares mixed in with ground beef. I proceed to make fun of him and told him that Rice Krispies Squares mixed with ground beef is the worst idea I have ever heard and hung up on him.

I got home later that night and looked around for something to make for dinner. Unfortunately the only food I had was ground beef, rice krispies and marshmellows. So I thought, "you know it may not be that bad an idea" and proceed to cook up the beef and the marshmellows to make Meat Krispies Squares. Yes, I thought that Rice Krispies Squares mixed with ground beef was a good idea. You know it wasn't that bad ... it was much worse. I was so hungry I ate a couple of squares but afterwards I couldn't move from the couch for two hours from my stomach ache and the shame of actually eating meat krispies squares.

So the moral of the story is, the recipes we use on the show are for entertainment purposes only. DO NOT MIX GROUND BEEF WITH RICE KRISPIES, ITS JUST NOT WORTH IT.

Elliott Otto threatens to sue actor Danny Bonuduce because “Danny Bonaduce: Life Coach” is a rip-off of Otto's “Danny Bonaduce’s Pool Toss” Otto submitted a script for “Danny Bonaduce’s Pool Toss” to Bonaduce and a couple of weeks later, CBS Mobile announced the debut of “Danny Bonaduce: Life Coach”. Read the two announcements at the attached links and you be the judge.
