  • OKC Media Approval Ratings: Joleen Chaney

    Number of comments: 1
    Who she is: Joleen Chaney What she does: Reporter and Anchor for KFOR Channel 4 Why Approve: This is simple: she’s one of the…uhm…best reporters in the state.  We’ve also heard that she spends countless hours per week volunteering for important causes that help children, old people and pandas.  We’ve even heard [...]

  • Lost Ogle Q&A: Ferris O’Brien

    As we’ve already mentioned a couple of times on this site, the third incarnation of The Spy hits the Oklahoma City airwaves today.  The man behind the station is Ferris O’Brien.  Ferris’ voice should be a familiar one to Oklahoma City radio listeners.  He was the program director for the [...]

    For those of you who watched the Thursday night battle between the Oklahoma State University Cowboys and Colorado University Buffalos, you may have been surrprised to see OSU take the field in all black uniforms.  Aside from the fact that their opponnt usually wears similar uniforms and the probability that [...]

  • Why Is Mark Mangino So Miserable and Angry?

    Number of comments: 10
    If you’ve been listening to Oklahoma City sports talk radio, you probably missed a lot of the controversy that erupted in Lawrence, Kansas, concerning Jayhawks’ head coach Mark “Our Coach Can Eat Your Coach” Mangino. This past Monday, the Jayhawks’ AD, Lew Perkins, announced an investigation of Mangino regarding inappropriate [...]

  • Saturday Morning 1990’s Music Video (64)

    I know we broke the story here last week, but I am still ridiculously stoked about 105.3 The Spy returning to the Oklahoma City airwaves on Monday.  Seriously, other than the NBA coming to town and those seductive semi-nude pictures that Jessica Schambach probably considered emailing to us, this is [...]

  • How the Other 0.001% Lives

    Number of comments: 2
    I am no wine conessuire.  My experiences with them are limited primarily to a half glass of red wine I was coaxed to get when learning how to schmooze clients for my first public accounting job and laughing that “Fat Bastard” is an option on most wine lists.  So, understanding [...]

    Number of comments: 10
    I think I truly have nothing to talk about for my snappy little intro. I’ve done nothing all week. Wow, this is hard. I think I’ll take the easy way out this time and just cut and paste a snippet from a brief Gchat exchange with a friend of mine [...]

  • Sports + Talking + Radio = Not Good

    Number of comments: 10
    I had to stop and think hard about something this week. Something I’d never considered. Something I really didn’t think I ever would. Why in the f-u-n-k do I listen to sports talk radio? I had no answer for myself. What made this especially awkward was that I asked it out loud [...]

    If you’ve ever listened to Regular Jim Traber on the radio, you’re probably aware that he was once a Major League Baseball player for the Baltimore Orioles.  You’d be aware of this because Regular Jim Traber mentions it in nearly every conversation he has on the Sports Animal.  Here are [...]

  • Help Wanted: OKC Public School Bus Driver

    Number of comments: 10
    When I was a 7th grader at Western Oaks Junior High, we had a cool bus driver who played KJ103 on the radio and would occasionally stop the bus at 7-11 and let the kids with money buy Big Gulps.  At the time, she was the coolest bus driver ever, [...]

    Number of comments: 10
    Tulsa elected a new mayor last Tuesday.  Republican Oilman Dewey Bartlett, he has to be called an ‘Oilman’ to prevent rich people from rioting in the streets, beat the Democratic Caucasian Tom Adelson and Independent *Hottie Mark Perkins. Why should Bartlett be the only one with the title? Nearly 31 percent of [...]

  • Tulsa Tuesday – Hip Hop Cops

    Broken Arrow police have found a new way to teach our youth about the dangers of drugs: hip hop music. What started as a speech about safety, turned into a gangsta-rap version of Hanson. I hope they promoted gun safety because Broken Arrow’s FRAs, Future Republicans of America, need to learn [...]
