Newfangled meditation. This bit was done right around 9/11. When the entire world was confused about religion. Mistakenly associating Sikhs with Muslims, and the Catholic Church was still going through their difficulties. So, I thought the time was right for a non-denominational outlet for people to just chill out. It sounded a lot more acceptable in my head. Thanks to the new conservatism in radio, this bit can’t really run anymore. Now, nobody will know where to go to relive the stresses in life. *Sad face.*

A few days after “Mission Accomplished?” this show premiered on the Al-Jamama network. Huge thanks to my friend Chadd Pierce for the submission. Chadd was a kid, working in Indiana when he did this. Super talented. He’s since gone on to run his own production house/voiceover service. He contributed a few bits to my CD, “No Talent Ass Clown,” and deserves all of the success he’s attained.

There used to be a shady video place in every town. You know the one. Flickering light out front. Curtain in back where the “good films” lived. 18 copies of Good Burger. A trip to the video store could take hours back then. Because you searched every aisle, and considered every movie. Hmmmmm…Have we seen “Head Cleaner?” Damn you internet! You’ve made this bit obsolete!

Again…any bit worth doing…is worth overdoing. A little perspective may be in order. Rio Linda, was the “Whiskey Tango” section of Sacramento. It wasn’t uncommon to see couches on the front lawn as lawn furniture. Or, a goat, tied to a car rim. It was pure awesomeness. And, everyone made fun of it. Hell..if you’re a Rush Limbaugh fan (GET OFF MY PAGE!!!), you’ve heard him make fun of it. It really is a special place. I highly recommend you visit if you find yourself in need of a pick-me-up!

There was a time when we all laughed about ethnic stereotypes. Because let’s face it, funny is funny. And ethnic accents = funny. this bit came from the mind of our old night guy in Sacramento, Chris Payne. Chris saw the name of some cleaning company and *thought* it said “Shao Lin” something. Of course, we never bothered to follow up. We just decided to write a bit. Now…here’s the kicker. We had a woman of Chinese descent in our business office. Before we ran the bit on the air, we did the responsible thing, when preparing to present racially insensitive material; we got someone *of* that race, to sign off on it, so we felt better about ourselves. Today, this would’ve been grounds for firing. Back then, it was just immature.
