My pick for the next Kansas City Radio God: Jeff Hirst

See, this is what they should tell all incoming Communication Studies students: Not only is there NO JOB out there waiting for you but if you want to any decent shot at employment in your chosen field, you're gonna have to be willing to subject yourself to some degrading shit . . . Like a contest to be on a local morning show . . . I'm pretty sure that they hold lotteries for employment in third world countries as well so I guess Max & Tanna should get credit for their multiculturalism.

Honestly, I find Max and Tanna the easiest to listen to of all the morning shows on the dial because unlike Mancow or Johnny Dare they don't seem to think they're some kind of icon for talking into a microphone. Really, listen to one of the promo spots for either one of the two guys I mentioned above and you'll probably come to the same conclusion that I have: It's the same kind of stuff that Hitler would have come up with if he had a morning show. I guess that supremacist instinct is hard to shake for white dudes with a modicum of success.

While I think Max & Tanna are okay, I think most morning radio shows in general are pretty lame and for me they only become exciting when one of the hosts slip up and says something completely inappropriate for commercial sponsored radio like "Somebody should clear out those ghettos with shotguns" or "Maybe slavery is the best thing to do with all of these Mexicans" and they inevitably get fired for being interesting and wind up on the conservative end of the dial promoting herbal remedies and the exciting new technology developing in the custom made mattress market.

BUT, it's important to have goals and dreams so this society has something to lead you on by and your significant other knows what areas of your psyche to destroy.

I've loyally listened to Jeff "Venkman" Hirst on the Internet for a couple of years now and don't wanna hear him leave. However, I think the guy is the most qualified local host that Max and Tanna could hope for . . . Not only is Venk a natural for radio, because he has a face for it but he's also one of the more verbally (I was gonna say "orally" - No homo) skilled people in this city with a quick wit and continually funny insights. Really, he anchored The Big Dumb Fun Show nicely and is sure to be the most captivating aspect of whatever program he chooses.

Give Venk a listen and I'm sure you'll agree and vote for him if only to thwart all of those hot ass bitches competing in the contest who strangely don't understand that nobody can see their boobs on the radio.
