Name: Del Reynolds
Age: 59
Occupation: owner, Northern Star Broadcasting
Last Seen: Cheboygan, MI
Bee-otched For: not wanting to eliminate a 300-lb problem

----
A few years ago, there was a little radio station in northern Michigan called Real Rock 105 and 95-5.

The station carried Free Beer and Hot Wings in the morning and its rock format, well, needed work. One minute, they were playing Rage Against the Machine and in the next, it was Heart. However, it was the highest-rated station of Northern Star Broadcasting, which also owns classic rocker The Bear, Big Country 102.9 and a few others.

Then, on April Fools Day 2013, the shit hit the fan. FB&HW was canceled and 95.5 - which served Grand Traverse Metro - flipped to old geezer soft AC as EZ 95-5. Taking over mornings on the newly-rechristened Rock 105 was Brian "Cartman" Pfiffer, who was previously Real Rock's midday guy and PD and before that, the morning man/PD of its ancestor, alt-rocker The Zone. According to station management, the reason why FB&HW was removed was because of ratings, although when the morning show visited Traverse City, they had huge crowds and like we said, Real Rock had DOUBLE the ratings of sister The Bear, northern Michigan's home of the Bob and Tom Show.  

Since Del Reynolds and NSB parted ways with the popular WGRD morning show, they've found new homes at two smaller stations in northern Michigan: Petoskey's WMBN 1340 and WKAD 93.7 in Cadillac, both MacDonald-Garber-owned sports stations that broadcast as The Ticket. Sadly, neither station has a decent signal in Traverse City. As for NSB, two of their morning shows have had blows in the past few months.

First, two members of the Bob and Tom Show, namesake Bob Kevoian and newslady Kristi Lee both retired and quit the program respectively. Apparently, it's just host Tom Griswold and sportscaster Chick McGee these days. Now, even Cartman himself has crossed over to greener - and cheesier - pastures.

Not too long ago, Cartman moved to Green Bay, WI, where he's now at legendary CHR WIXX as "Fife". But thanks to the modern digital technology known as voicetracking, he's still the de facto morning host on Rock 105. So instead of listening to a live and local morning show, listeners to Rock 105 are stuck listening to a show that was produced the night before.

However, one bright spot is that Cartman doesn't appear in as many promos for the station as he once did. I listen to the station online for a few hours Sunday afternoon and didn't his annoying voice once.

Personally, I don't know why Del didn't simply replace him. I don't know what's up with jocks who move to another market but end up voicetracking for the station they technically abandoned. Look at Cartman's ex-sidekick, "Homeless" Jake Kelly. He ended up at Z93 in TC and when he moved to Green Bay he remained as a voicetracker on that station. Meanwhile, rival 106 KHQ has a live night jock, Jimmy Hotkeys who even does a daily mixshow on the station. Voicetracker vs. live and local: it's a no brainer.

Of course, there's a huge reason why I hate Cartman's guts: it was his *alleged* actions against me when he and fellow Zone jock Fish Photoshopped a picture of Cartman urinating and slapped it on a picture of KHQ's van. Cartman posted it on his MySpace page, I then posted it on a popular message board and I - not him or even Fish, now the afternoon jock on KHQ - got all the flak. Hell, a group of assholes created a fake user name to simply bully me off the board, and when I handed one of them the Bee-otch of the Day, that person responded by telling me that it was ME and not Cartman who made that picture which damn near killed his career. Hell, I don't even know if the picture still exists or not.

Point is, it's sick that Del would keep that fat blob around with a morning show that isn't even LIVE. Hell, I'd rather listen to an Eric Zane-less Free Beer and Hot Wings over that loud-mouth asshole. Then again, I'm proud to have a smartphone with Sirius on it so if it's 7-11 am, I can listen to Stern. True, Stern's only on thrice weekly and he's not local, but he is what Cartman ain't:

Funny.

It's hard to believe it, but it's mid-February and today in Grand Rapids, MI, it was sunny and 42 with hardly an ounce of snow on the ground. Hell, it was 62 on Friday.

However, that's gonna change tonight.

That's right! It's gonna snow and there's even a Winter Storm Warning in effect for most of southern Michigan. Apparently, the white stuff is supposed to hit around 5 p.m. I even remember the weather man telling us all on Monday that they've already put it in place.

Grand Rapids is supposed to get 2-4 inches and even more in the east.

All I can say is: thanks, El Nino.

In all my years living here in Grand Rapids, I don't think I've ever experienced such a mild weather. True, I'm happy that I haven't scraped off my car as much and I haven't had to warm up my car as much, either, the truth is that winter is supposed to be cold and snowy. I've read the weather almanac and it's supposed to be a stormy Spring. Could this lead to a hot-ass Summer?

Already, the same storm that's going to plague us tonight is causing havoc in the south. All I can say is this: only six days til March.

2.23.16 Bee-otch of the Day: WZZM-TV

Occupation: Grand Rapids ABC affiliate
Last Seen: Walker, MI
Bee-otched For: falling asleep at the switch... again

----
When Rome was burning, Nero played his fiddle and WZZM was airing regular programming while their competition was on the story like white on rice.

Sadly, that's what happened on Saturday night when the news broke regarding the shooting deaths of six innocent people in Kalamazoo. WWMT-3 was definitely on the ball (especially since their studios are in K'zoo), WOOD-TV 8 did well, too with their wall-to-wall coverage and even WXMI Fox 17 did several cut-ins telling people about the shootings. On Sunday morning, WOOD even pre-empted Today to bring coverage of the massacre.

WZZM-13? Well, they thought that airing repeats of The Closer were good enough.

It's pathetic that this is the worst tragedy to hit our area in quite some time. Hell, it was the top story on the NBC Nightly News last night. But on Saturday night, WZZM-13 proved to west Michigan that once again, they're as useless as tits on a bull. What do you expect from a TV station that actually told its viewers that Michigan beat MSU during that important football game last year? Sad.

Look: I understand that WZZM's presence in Kalamazoo ain't much. After all, FCC regs prevented them from having their transmitter in the same area as WOOD and WWMT's, mid-way between Grand Rapids and K'zoo. But since there's probably a lot of folks in GR that know people in K'zoo, maybe they wanted to know what was going on there. Only long after the other stations in the area started their coverage did WZZM start theirs.

This is why I never watch WZZM for news: too many inaccuracies and for a station owned by a big corporation like Gannett TEGNA, they seem so bush-league. Hell, both the big news stations up north - 7&4 and 9&10 - do a better job with the news than WZZM!

Look, WZZM needs a TON of work. If important news breaks, they need to report it. RIGHT. I'll betcha that if a 13-poiint earthquake hit Grand Rapids, they would be airing some Byron Allen shit instead. They need to stop ripping off WOOD and become the successful news station they were ages ago. But now, they're unwatchable and I think the ratings show. 
They're too cutesy and Juliet Dragos scares me.

BTW, if I do watch WZZM-13 news, it's because I slept through Judge Judy.

2.22.16 Bee-otch of the Day: The Republican Party

Bee-otched For: another day, another shooting

----
On Saturday night, I was minding my own business here at home, watching old episodes of Family Guy. That was when my phone started buzzing.

It was my AP news app, telling me about a mass shooting in Kalamazoo in which six people were killed and two were injured. I immediately flipped to WOOD-TV 8 and they were all over the story. Police were looking for a middle-aged man driving a Chevy HHR. Save for the useless WZZM-13, all the stations in town did a fairly-decent job covering the massacres.

By morning, the police found their man: 45-year-old Jason Dalton, an Uber driver who had never been arrested before and never had a criminal record. He is being suspected for shooting at random people in the area between 5:30 and 10:30 at night. Four of the murdered were a group of older women who met together at the Cracker Barrel. The two other victims were a father and son looking at cars at Seelye Kia.

To many here in west Michigan, this is definitely unwanted news, especially when there's a mass shooting everyday in this country. Until Saturday night, we never had a shooting that made the national news. But sadly, that record is broken.

In a state already plagued with one of its most-important towns having to suffer with a polluted water system, it's one more challenge for Rick Snyder and anybody running for president (and just to let you know, I've seen countless ads for Bernie Sanders here this weekend). When is the madness with guns going to end? When are we going to have real gun control in this country? The real tragedy is thinking about it.

But there is some good news: Jeb Bush is no longer running for president. I think even the Republicans in this country have given the Bush Crime Family the message that the jig is up. It's too bad that the rest of the remaining members of the clown car that are still running will be just like him if they're elected.

The only way to stamp out gun violence is simply to vote against politicians that are pro-NRA and tell them that we can't allow this BS anymore. It's time for action. We need to work with everybody from politicans to community leaders to help stop the madness. We also need to help those with mental issues. Could Dalton have a mental problem that needed to be treated? Of course, thanks to Reagan closing all the mental hospitals, that's kinda difficult.

Yet another reason NOT to vote Repuke.

Name: Playboy Magazine
Age: 63
Occupation: once-beloved nude magazine
Last Seen: Chicago, IL
Bee-otched For: officially committing suicide

---

A few weeks ago, the beginning of the end started.

The final edition of Playboy Magazine with nudity was published and what a way to mark the end of an era with Pamela Anderson posing nude for one last time. Now, the first non-nude Playboy has hit the stands and the reaction is far from perfect.

The cover model is Sarah McDaniel, a popular Snapchat personality with the tagline "heyyy;)". Us: "Heyyyy, TAKE YOUR GODDAMN CLOTHES OFF!"

The mag's first non-nude Playmate is Dree Hemingway, the great-granddaughter of Earnest and daughter of Mariel. According to sources, she was nude in front of photographers, but no nudes of her appear in the mag. Also missing are the magazine's Party Jokes section, cartoons and ads for adult-based products towards the end of the magazine itself. However, Dodge, a company that once shunned Playboy because of its nudity has an ad in the new 'zine.

Of course, the evil mastermind behind PB's switch is Cory Jones, a former editor aMaxim who is the magazine's Chief Content Officer. He claimed that because nudity and sex are available for free on the internet, it no longer gave the magazine an option to compete with that product. After all, Playboy.com eliminated nudes from their website and traffic grew immensely.

Playboy Magazine itself once had over two million readers 40 years ago. Now, it's hovering around 800,000. It had been operating in the red for yearsand even the Playboy Mansion itself is up for sale.

Of course, not everybody is welcoming the new changes and some have even canceled their subscription to the converted laddie mag. But one person is ROYALLY pissed, and it's none other than the founder's own son.

Cooper Hefner, the 24-year-old son of Hugh - who turns 90 in April - claims that he was ousted out of his father's own company by Jones and CEO Scott Flanders, even though Hugh was grooming him to take over the company. However, he told Business Insider that nudity was not the magazine's problem, but rather how it was presented. Cooper, now one of the heads of a company called Hop (and I wonder how he got the name for that little venture) released a blueprint on how he would shape the magazine well into the 21st century. Among his changes include getting rid of the beach blonde hair models, bring back "classic" and "sensual" photos and "nobodcares on how big they are".

Ya know, Coop has a point. Look at Suicide Girls and how popular that site is. They claim that they have more girls who want to pose with them over Playboy. Why? These girls are different, yet provocative. Personally, if I was running the Playboy empire, Photoshopping would be a thing of the past. Who cares if a model has a few stretch marks or her labia is a little long? Plus, what's the goddamn deal with airbrushing out anuses? Personally, I think altering a girl's image lowers another girl's self esteem. I remembered watching a news story from Australian TV about how a lot of women there are getting labiaplasties simply because the vaginas in nude mags over there look sexier than theirs. That's simply because of a stupid rule over there that bans images of gratuitous vaginal nudity. There's also a law that bans nude models with A-cups. Crazy, huh?

IMHO, I think readership at PB will indeed dwindle and in one years' time, the magazine will go back to nudes. They need to leave the PG-13 shit to Maxim. Now with Penthouse going digital only, are there any good softcore nude mags left?

I sense an opportunity.

2.17.16 Bee-otch of the Day: Townsquare Media


Bee-otch of the Day honors are awarded Monday through Thursday, Bee-otch of the Week is awarded Friday on Chuck69.com.

Name: Townsquare media
Age: 20
Occupation: media giant
Last Seen: Greenwich, CT
Bee-otched For: taking the bleu cheese away from Free Beer and Hot Wings 

---

I remembered when Jam Master Jay from Run DMC was murdered, the group broke up. Their reason was simply that the group wasn't really Run DMC, but rather Run DMC with Jam Master Jay.

Now, the same thing is happening here in Grand Rapids with Free Beer and Hot Wings, WGRD's popular morning radio show. Despite his name not being featured in the show's official title, it was really The Free Beer and Hot Wings Morning Show with Eric Zane. Zane was a part of the program for 15 years and was a humongous factor when the program moved from New Jersey several years ago to Grand Rapids. For many, Zane was humongous reason for the show's consistent success for the past decade.

And now, he's gone.

Yesterday, the program made it official that Zane was fired from the show a few weeks ago. Many are wondering why he was dismissed, but neither the show nor Townsquare Media are responding. Some people speculate that Zane was canned because of comments he made about Joel Langlois, the real estate developer who ownThe Deltaplex and The Intersection, two popular venues for live music in Grand Rapids. Reportedly, Zane - who is or was the PA announcer for the Grand Rapids Drive basketball team - verbally bashed the person running the shot clock during one of the games which was busted. Some speculate that Zane's comments angered Langlois, a very powerful man. It's also worth noting that GRD's GM and one of the owners of their studio building in downtown GR are also pals of Langlois.

Since GRD sponsors concerts at the 'Section and Deltaplex, Zane's comments could have ruined their relationships. However, some speculate that the rift between Zane and Langlois wasn't really the reason for his dismissal. I was reading Reddit and one person claimed that he/she knows somebody at GRD and claimed that Zane was busted for sex crimes against minors. Now, if it was true, it would have been all over the media by now ala John Balyo.


Of course, a radio personality publicly bashing a station partner or advertiser is nothing new. When I was growing up in northern Michigan 20 years ago, there was  morning man Tim Murphy at WKLT. While he was there, the rock station was #2 in the ratings. However, Murph was canned. Why? It was because one morninghe was talking about the poor service he got at Arby's. At the same exact time, a local manager of the chain was buying up $200 worth of spots to air on the station. He told them that if they didn't get rid of him, the $200 was gone. So, KLT's GM took Murph to his office and told him "I just heard your last show and it was your last show". Yep, the #2 morning host in Traverse City was shown the door because he almost cost the station a mere $200. Then again, in KLT's mind, every morning host and jock the station has ever had is replaceable, from Murph all the way to Finster. Thankfully, Murph is doing well as the morning man and Operations Manager for a rock station in Oregon and has even written a series of cookbooks.

OK, so Zane *maybe* deserved to get fired, so who knows? But let's not forget that Townsquare is far from a perfect company. Yes, their stock price is way higher than that of local rivals iHeartMedia and Cumulus, but let's face it: when a radio company puts corporate over people, it shows. True, I think Free Beer and Hot Wings will survive the storm, but if Zane gets rehired at another station in town ala Finster now going up against Omelette in Traverse City, it could make for good radio. Speaking of Cumulus, maybe they could resurrect WKLQ by flipping one of their stations back to their old format and put Zane in the morning (bear in mind that the WKLQ call letters are now parkeon 1490 in Muskegon). 101.3 The Brew just broomed their entire (cyberjocked) airstaff. Zane in the Morning?

(Note that I'm more of a Howard Stern guy and I only listen to GRD when my alarm goes off in the morning. But, I think it's sad when a radio company screws over a popular jock yet keeps assholes like "Huge" Bill Simonson.)

All I can say is stay tuned.

Name: Alex Jones
Age: 42
Occupation: Chicken Little
Last Seen: Austin, TX
Bee-otched For: claiming that Obama killed Scalia 

---

Nothing like 24 hours a day of old angry white men who all beat the same drum, and that drum has that same beat over and over: O-BA-MA SUCKS! O-BA-MA SUCKS!

Of course, one of those guys is none other than conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and his waste of electricity known as Infowars.com and daily radio show. Thankfully, no radio station here in Grand Rapids carries his dreck, but he has two affiliates here in Michigan: WAAM 1600 in liberal Ann Arbor (owned by the controversial Thayronethe ex-local WUOM host who was canned from Michigan Radio for not airing an NPR news update during his show because of his support for the Iraq War in the 2000s) and WMKT 1270 in Charlevoix, Jones' third affiliate in the northern Michigan market after being canned from 94.5 WYPV and 1110 WJML.

Well, on Valentine's Day, Jones claimed on Facebook that he believed that Supreme Court Judge Antonin Scalia was murdered at the Texas ranch where he was on a hunting trip. According toJones, Scalia's drink was poisoned by "bad actors" appointed by Obama and when he went to bed, he never woke up. His body was discovered in his suite the next day. Chicken Little later claimed that he thinks that other conservatives like Donald Trump or Clarence Thomas are next.

Last week, Jones even compared Bernie Sanders supporters to Nazis and even told them that they should have their jaws broken. This coming from a douchebag whose fanbase included one of the Boston bombers whom many claim got his ideas for dropping the backpack bombs that killed six people from listening to countless hours of Jones' show. I even had a cousin who loved his show until Jones claimed that the tornadoes that ripped through Oklahoma a few years ago where created by government-funded tornado machines.

Maybe I should start a show like Jones. Maybe I'll crack the mic and say that, oh, Bernie Sanders' parents were good pals of Hitler's, or maybe that Hillary Clinton personally knows the Antichrist. Yeah, I know that a radio distributor will be reading this and in a few weeks time, I'll have a radio contract so big that I can quit my day job.

Remember folks, Antonin Scalia was 79 and fat. No wonder why he croaked. 


You know, I feel bad for anybody who listens to this crap. Then again, I'm happy to say that most of Jones' affiliates are second and third-tier talkers. In the case of WMKT and WAAM, neither station has ratings, which doesn't surprise me.

Last weekend, I went to the movies.

No, I did not see Deadpool, though it looks totally awesome. Instead, I saw the film that was the pure underdog this weekend: Where to Invade Next.

In the latest effort from Michael Moore, he fictionally was appointed by the military to go around the world to help figure out why the US has lost every single war since WWII. So, he goes to several countries and is beyond shocked that some of them have better laws than we do in America. Italians have long lunch breaks and have more vacation time than we do. The French have better schools and so do the Finnish, where sex ed is mandatory, unlike some states in the US where they have abstinence only education, which leads to more teenage pregnancies and STDs. Uruguay allows everybody to do drugs and Norwegian jails rehabilitate their prisoners while ours torture them.

In the end of the movie, Moore is walking in Germany next to his old friend who climbed on top of the Berlin Wall as it was being demolished. Moore mentioned that we are making progress, slowly but surely. After all, the Supreme Court legalized gay marriage last year.

Where to Invade Next will probably be spun by the right since it debuted last weekend at the box office in 18th place with just over a million bucks, making it Moore's lowest-performing film since 1998's The Big One and his first non-top 10 film since 2002's Bowling For Columbine. But since the film received little to no promotion, especially with Moore's sudden bought with pneumonia recently, it did OK. Besides, it did make $3,500 per screen, outgrossing Hail, Caesar! and The Revenant this past weekend
. Not to mention that the company that released the film is relatively new and only pumped out 300 prints. The movie isn't even being shown in the Flint area, Moore's original stomping grounds.

I left Celebration! Cinema North a little smarter, thinking that as long as progress is made, our laws will be on par or better than other countries. Then, I got home, plopped myself dowon the couch and shortly thereafter, my phone was buzzing. WOOD-TV had reported that Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia had passed away.

The Reagan appointee died in his sleep while staying at a ranch in Texas at age 79. He was one of the most outspoken and conservative of the high court justices, opposing everything from women's rights to gay rights. Scalia's death should have been a time to mourn for everybody in the government sector, but not to Mitch McConnell. A few hours after Scalia's death announcement, he said to the press that President Obama doesn't have the right to choose our next Supreme Court justice and it's the next president's job instead. Not too long afterward during the Republican debate, all of the candidates made the same agreement.
With the Senate being held hostage by the Rethugs, they're threatening to not allow Obama to appoint his choice for new justice. After all, a Democrat
 judge would make it the first left-leaning Supreme Court since the days of Nixon. Of course, we all know what happened to our country since: lower taxes for the wealthy, loss of jobs, union busting and so on. It feels like the only landmark event that changed America for the better in recent years was when gay marriage was passed last year.

This is exactly why I vote Democrat. Wanna be stuck for the rest of your life? Then vote Republican. After all, they'd rather make sure that your paycheck goes towards a Blue Angel vs. free healthcare for all. I wish there were more people like me -- thirty-something and cares more about the world's problems vs. knowing what time Kim Kardashian took a dump. It's people like Michael Moore that make me proud of who I am: somebody who has a voice and is not afraid to use it.

As for the Repukes, it's time for them to realize that Obama's their boss, like it or not. If we have to wait for the next president for a new justice, I hope to god he (or even SHE) is a Democrat to tell them to STFU. If these people want to fuck up the Constitution to make things go their way, they're in a whole heap of trouble.

Change is always good.

Yesterday, we talked about the idiotic bill that is going around in the state House that would ban sodomy as part of another series of bills that would protect animals from abusers. However, thanks to a Supreme Court ruling 13 years ago, surprise, surprise, sodomy is totally legal, whether lawmakers like it or not.

Now, that same assclown prick senator who created this unconstitutional law is at it again. This time, he wants to ban alcohol from full-nude strip clubs.

Term limited Grand Ledge senator Rick Jones has drafted that very bill, claiming that dancers in full-nude bars that serve alcohol are in greater danger than those that don't. He believes that his bill - passed Wednesday by the Republican-led senate - would protect Michigan's tourism industry.

Ten Democrats voted against the bill, which will now be in the hands of the state House.

The bill came to be because a few years ago, the Supreme Court ruled that the Michigan Liquor Control Commission had no say as to why they forced strip clubs that did serve alcohol to be topless only. When the high Court asked the MLCC about the decades-old law, they had no real answer. Since the SC's decision, several strip clubs here in Michigan now serve booze and still have full nude dancing. Before the law was scrapped, some clubs operated as 2-in-1s, like the now-defunct Showgirl Galleria in Grand Rapids which had full nudity/no alcohol on one side of the building and topless-only and alcohol on the other.

Sadly, despite the Supreme Court defending strip clubs' decisions to serve booze or not, this doesn't help the fact that it's been ten long years since the strip club laws here in Grand Rapids were passed, banning nudity altogether. It's sad that my once-prudish hometown of Traverse City has no problem with Fantasy's, but then again, TC has no billionaires or outrageous Jebusfreaks overrunning the townI've heard good things about mayor Jim Carruthers vs. our bitch ass ho mayor Rosalynn Bliss, who actually helped to get our city's strip club ban passed.

Look, folks, this is the Republican Party: they care about the peanuts while the elephants walk by. People like Rick Jones care more about you tasting a woman's twat and chugging down a Budweiser while a girl sits on your face while there's thousands of people in Flint who can't drink water. This is a pure outrage. If our state keeps electing these pricks, more shit will happen and we ALL pay the price. Hell, look at Canada: they've had full-nudity and booze at their clubs for years and that country is SAFER than America!

America: the Land of the Free, but only if you vote Democrat.
