The horrifying debut of our failed attempt to secure the Morning Show on Columbus&#8217; 99-7 The Blitz.<\/p>\n<p>We should&#8217;ve known it wasn&#8217;t going to work by the way it started. We had a system crash right out of the gate. I stepped in and attempted to take control of the show. Which was not really what management wanted. They intended for me to be a &#8220;guest&#8221; on Ronni&#8217;s show. We had our own Producer who ran all the sound. We did make the best of it. I introduced some new stuff that Ronni had never tried. A feature called &#8220;Mouth Hug Etiquette,&#8221;\u00a0 where Ronni gave advice. Traditionally, she was the &#8220;Cool Rock Chick.&#8221; She&#8217;d never really say certain things. So&#8230;we played a bit and tried some new ideas. And it was at once a blast, and a trainwreck. I did get a chance to tell all of Columbus that she has a tail. No joke! Ronni has that nub-tail-bone. And I outed her on the air. We also got a visit on the phone by our good friend Jesse James DuPree. And powered our way through it. I thought a nice beginning all things considered. Unfortunately, we never clicked the way management wanted. I consider this a missed opportunity in my career. We may have been able to build something very special. Maybe another day&#8230;Here&#8217;s the ugly proof.<\/p>\n<!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('audio');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-2002-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"http:\/\/neanderpaul.com\/paulmuf\/WRKZ\/blitzmon.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/neanderpaul.com\/paulmuf\/WRKZ\/blitzmon.mp3\">http:\/\/neanderpaul.com\/paulmuf\/WRKZ\/blitzmon.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well&#8230;Here it is.
