BlueFlames. It’s long so we will do it in parts. It was stolen from Nerdish.
But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft’s thieves might take some time. Let’s go!
shuffle. Give me the first 6 songs that pop up.
2) If you could meet anyone on this earth, who would it be? It would be Paul McCartney. There are thousands of questions about his music that I’d love to ask. And of his incredible life, and of course I’d want to know everything about my only true hero, John. It’s funny though I wrote to Gal (The Gal Herself) today about Paul’s new CD. I wrote, “On another subject, have heard Sir Paul’s latest? I hate everything about it. I love Rod Stewart but was mortified a rocker would butcher (or even sing) standards. (Don’t get me wrong. I love standards. But I’d rather hear Frank, Tony or Louie sing them.)I think Paul just REALLY disappointed me. His CDs of the last decade just were getting better & better. This one I won’t buy…”
3) Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 23, give me line 17. “Today the mascots exist primarily for the fans.”
4) What do you think about most? Sex. No one admits its it, but most people do.
5) What does your latest text message from someone else say? It’s the
forwarding address of the people we bought our new house from. I’d share it,
but then the sellers would be swamped by WTIT Blog fans.
6) Do you sleep with or without clothes on? On. Usually a Beatles tee and
sweats or underwear depending on the season. Sexy, huh?
7) What’s your strangest talent? Creating the world’s first and longest running Tape Radio Station is pretty weird. Check the story out here.8) (finish the sentence)Women…are nurturing.; Men…want blow jobs.
) Ever had a poem or song
written about you? Not that I am aware of. My son James once wrote and recorded
a song about his step father. In fact he recorded with various bands. It was
not a flattering song because his step dad is a total asshole.
10) When is the last time you played the air guitar? Just now. You made me.
11) Do you have any strange phobias? Women with clothes on.12) Ever stuck a foreign object up your nose? I think I was a child long ago. So, possibly.
13) What’s your religion? None of the above.
14) If you are outside, what are you most likely doing? Driving. The life of a
sales guy…
15) Do you prefer to be behind the camera or in front of it? In front of it.
16) Simple but extremely complex. Favorite band? The Beatles. No very
complex at all.17) What was the last lie you told? That I’d try to attend a party. I wanted to, but I was moving soon, it was on a “school” night and was an hour away.
18) Do you believe in karma? It’s gonna get you and knock you off your feet. So, truthfully, recent events have made me accept the concept.
19) What does your URL mean? WTIT? It’s the best radio station that you’d have
to be in our studio to hear. It stands for “Truth in Taping”.
20) What is your greatest weakness; your greatest strength? Blow me.
21) Who is your celebrity crush? Jill Hennessy.22) Have you ever gone skinny dipping? Of course. The French twins loved to!
23) How do you vent your anger? With Smirnoff on the rocks.
24) Do you have a collection of anything? Tons. My fave is my thousands of
vinyl albums.
25) Do you prefer talking on the phone or video chatting online? I’ve never
video chatted. Do the fucking math.
WTIT: The Blog.
Enjoy your Sunday…
We will return.
Just a fair warning.
Peace & love, friends.
Join us. Same time. Same blog.
Every Saturday WTIT: The Blog brings you a meme calledSaturday 9. It’s not to say that this is a bright idea, but it is what we do. A woman named Crazy Sam started this meme because a prior popular Saturday meme specialist Lola had retired. So, Sam contacted all Lola’s participants and invited us to participate in her meme. Let’s begin!
Saturday 9: How Do You Mend a Broken Heart
1. How did you cope with your biggest heartache? Sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll.
2. Who was the last person you visited in the hospital? My daughter-in-law Maria. She gave birth to their first child and my third perfect granddaughter.
3. How many jobs have you held in your life? How many of those were part of your chosen career field? My chosen field was radio. Without taking the time to count, I’ve worked at 20 some radio stations from being a part-time jock, to morning personality and then to sales and management. My last (non Tape Radio) job was around the turn of the century.
4. How did you discover Saturday 9? I decided to create the fucker. At the time I thought my Bud Weiser blog persona was too controversial to host a meme. So I invented Sam. True story: My girlfriend at the time yelled at me because she thought Sam was coming on to me. When I say I can keep a secret, trust me, I can. After letting her stew for a while, I laughed my ass off. She finally figured out. She turned out to be the dragon lady. What an ass!
5. If you could take the train from anywhere to anywhere, where would ‘anywhere’ be? My bed. I spent the day moving. Why am bothering to do this stupidity is anybody’s guess.
6. When was the first time you cooked for someone else? I cooked breakfast for Kathy a while back.
7. What is the worst beverage you’ve ever tasted? Jagermeister sucks moose.
8. Is there anything in life you are “certain” about? Firm in your beliefs? Strong in your convictions? Yes, because I’m usually right about everything.
9. Do you know anyone who has as very unusual pet? My son Ben had a pet reptile named Jimi after Jimi Hendrix. I never understood it. But now, married with child, he has a cat named Mr. Jones. He’s calmed down a bit.
We’re glad that you stopped by.
Enjoy your weekend.
WTIT: The Blog will return tomorrow
with
Judd Corizan and
His Naked Linda Lovelace impersonators.
Join us for Sunday Stealing!
1) Do you like to cook? That would be a negatory. Kathy once stated that she never met a man who had more of an aversion to cooking. I do a decent breakfast and handle the grill well, but I’m really overall useless. (I can at least pay for at a restaurant.)
2) What’s the name of the dance move you created that sweeping the world? Explain how it’s done. It’s called “The Bend Over and I’ll Drive You Home”. Guess how you do it!
3) How do you feel about CATV cameras in public places? I think with the advent of cell camera/video phones and surveillance cameras that we are all on video except at home. So, I really don’t care. Once technology is out of the box, it is impossible to put back.
My take: I hate to be gross (or worse than usual), but it looks like someone hurled in loave of bread. Yuch.
We are never gonna
give you spiritual awareness.
Welcome again to Stealing which we bring you weekly on The WTIT Blog. We have gotten really good at just stealing a meme from someone else’s post. (You can play meme with Judd and the official Sunday Stealing meme.) Today we ripped this off a blogger named Tense Teacher of the blog Tense for a Reason. (Yes we know that we’ve ripped her off not so long ago as well. It’s pretty amazing since she stopped posting in 2007. But that’s where we live as a thief). Also, it’s long so we’ll do it in parts. She does not say where she got it from. But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft’s thieves might take some time. Let’s go!
Sunday Stealing: The Never Ending Meme, Ends
 |
| Jessica Lange wins a Golden Globe for AHS. |
36. Have you watched
American Horror Story? Every episode. It’s Kathy’s
favorite show. The strangest part was in the finale they hinted that
next year there will be a different cast. A lot of the show is trying
to figure out who is alive and who is dead. At the end the live ones
were killed.
37. Baseball hat or toque? What the fuck is a
toque? Hello Wikipedia! Oh really? I’ll go with my Yankees cap
here.
38. Do you shampoo or soap up first in the shower?
Before or after sex?
39. Wet the toothbrush or brush dry with
the toothpaste? Slippery When wet.
40. Pen or pencil? Pen. I
never make a mistake.
41. Have you ever gambled at a casino?
Yes. I always win so it became no challenge.
42. Have you
thrown up on a plane? No. Yech.
43. Have you thrown up in a
car? No, I know you can pull over.
44. Have you thrown up at
work? What’s with the fucking vomit questions?
45. Do you
scream on roller coasters? No, I don’t go on them. I hate them. But,
I took my kids on them all the time. My daughter Heather once wrote
that when she grew up and found out, that I was a really cool
dad.
46. How many shoes do you have? Two at a time.
47.
Who was your first roommate? His name was Renard. When The Beatles
broke up our freshman year, he and his bud Frank decided that they
were to be the next Beatles. I asked “How can you do that?” He
replied that they had heard all the so song so they’d pick up where
The Beatles left off. What a moron.
48. What alcoholic
beverage did you drink when you got drunk for the first time?
Smirnoff and OJ. A Screwdriver if you will.
49. What was your
first job? I friend who appeared on WTIT at 15, Tiny Tim, got us jobs
at a country club snack bar. We had to be told not to throw the food
at our customers.
50. What was your first car? The first
Budmobile was a Chevy Impala. It exploded when a girl and I went to a
drive in and left a cigarette burning in the back seat. My sis Diane
had to be told (she was 12) not to call my folks at parties unless it
was an emergency. She called them to say (around midnight) that
“Bud’s car is on fire. The Fire Department is here. Marie (a next
door neighbor) is cooking hot chocolate in the kitchen. Is this an
emergency?” I hadn’t seen Marie in decades (her brother is Gypsy
Joe, one of WTIT’s original five DJs) until she came to my 260th
birthday bash that Kathy threw.
51. When did you go to your
first funeral? Won’t that be when I die? So, not yet.

teacher? Miss Antoinez.

airplane ride? 1970 to go to a peace demonstration in D.C.
55.
When you snuck out of your house for the first time, who was it with?
Never did it.
 |
| Gary & Bud at The Bash |
56. Who was your first best friend and are you
still friends with them? Galloping Gary who co-founded WTIT with
Bouncing Bill and I. We hadn’t spoke in years until facebook brought
us back together. He came to the aforementioned 260th
bash.
57. Where did you live the first time you moved out of
your parents’ house? Isn’t this question 52?
58. Who is the first person you call when you have a bad day? Daniel Powter.
59.Whose wedding were you in the first time you were a bridesmaid or a
groomsmen? I was in so many that I’m not sure. I think it was at Many
Miles which was on the first anniversary of my first wedding.

61.What was the first concert you attended? Chubby Checker when I was 10.

A woman named Crazy Sam started this meme because a prior popular Saturday meme specialist Lola had retired. So, Sam contacted all Lola’s participants and invited us to participate in her meme. Let’s begin! |
| Granddaughter Lindsay & Kathy |
1. Do you live close to where you grew up? Why? I live in the same state. I had always said that when my kids were grown I’d move out of Connecticut to a warmer place. I did not foresee that in 2004 I’d get a job that I couldn’t replace. We had six inches of snow last night. I truly hate winter. But had I left, I’d be further from my grandkids and would not be with my lady.
2. Have you ever been so angry that you almost lost control? Only once. At a pee-wee football game my son, who was in the game, was horsing around with another kid and pushed him off the bench. The boys father ran over picked my son up and threw him. I could not believe my eyes. Ben was not injured, he was in full football gear. I had to restrained from killing the man. I made such a stink with the league that the guy was banned from going to games. In retrospect I should have pressed charges.
3. Are you a fan of a musical act that slightly embarrasses you? Not now, but in high school I was a fan of what they called bubblegum music. My favorite song from that genre was Quick Joey Small. When I hit college, I got totally into rock. The first time I heard Tommy, the Who’s rock opera, I never looked back.
4. Is there a movie that always makes you cry? Notting Hill. I don’t really understand why, either. It’s a great romantic comedy, but Roberts and Grant really had no chemistry. But the plot always gets to me. I know a guy is not supposed to even like romantic comedies. But I do. So there.
5. Who is the most famous person that you’ve met? I’ve kissed Bonnie Raitt and met Huey Lewis. Both pretty cool events.
 |
| Sam loves this photo. |
6. Before you leave your home, what must you have? Keys, iPhone, wallet and reading glasses. Fascinating question. I may have to kill off Sam and let Judd do this fucking meme.
7. What do you miss the most about being a kid? That everything was taken care of for me. No worries and no troubles. Although that make believe Tape Radio station that I created lives on. It’s been the only constant in my life since I was 14. I always thought I’d outgrow it. Maybe next year, who knows?
8. Tell us about a passion of yours that your readers would not expect. I am a HUGE big cat fan. I watch countless hours of NatGeo and Animal Planet.
9. At what age do you think you’d be to think, “I’ve had a great run”? When I was in my 30s, my father-in-law died at 66. I remember thinking that he lived his life his way and that it wasn’t too young. Now I look at 66 as though it were 40. My folks are in their mid 80s. I’m not sure I want all of their physical ailments. But they still seem happy. That’s because they divorced in the 80s.
We’re glad that you stopped by.
Enjoy your weekend.
WTIT: The Blog will return tomorrow

Judd Corizan and
Crazy Sam’s Singing Orchestral Circus.
Join us for Sunday Stealing!
1. Name three songs that remind you of specific people in your life. Explain who each reminds you of and why.
Cathy’s Clown by The Everly Brothers. Kind of self explanatory. Not that I actually feel that way, in fact quite the opposite. But when we first got serious, I played it a lot while we had breakfast.
The Boys Are Back in Town by Thin Lizzy. Though it was written about returning from war (originally titled GI Joe’s Back in Town) I think of it when my “boys” (WTIT DJs) record. It used to be very frequently, but since the turn of the century it’s more like a few times a years. So I open a lot of my Bud Weiser Radio Program shows with it.
I Want to Hold Your Hand by The Beatles. I remember the first time that I heard it. On this side of the pond it was their first hit. I remember actually thinking (at age 12) that the band was unique and very different. Little did I know how much they would impact my life and those for generations to come.
2) What one socially-unacceptable behavior do you REALLY wish we could make socially-acceptable? Live sex shows at restaurants. Now THAT would give Hooters a run for their money! Besides, I hear the the food at The Sex Palace is to die for.
3) Have you ever milked a cow? Ever tipped a cow? Cat., I’m from the northeast. We do have cows, but this isn’t the heartland. We had more important things to do like record Tape Radio shows.
4) Show and Tell. What comes to mind first when you see this picture? Or, tell a story if it reminds you of one.
My take: “It was his final resting spot. The world would forever mourn the loss of Mr. Rogers. Some say he was bigger than The Beatles.” (The same “some” are morons.)

Sunday Stealing: The Never Ending Meme, Part 2
21. Did you go to your high school prom? Yes, but I don’t remember much. I do remember returning my date the next day to get her swimming suit. Her folks were not pleased that she never came home. Man was that crappy. Eight couples were all waiting with me for her. I said, “Get me to a phone booth. I’ll get another date.” Our caravan of cars proceeded to the the phone and then the next house. Date number two was waiting with towel and suit in hand. (Yes, I know that this doesn’t sound like me at all. But it is true.)
22. Perfect time to wake up? When your eyes open and you can’t fall back to sleep.
23. Perfect time to go to bed? When your very sexy fiancée suggests it.
24. Do you use your queen right away in chess?I last played chess in 1969 at prep school. You’re not gonna believe that I really don’t remember or care.
25. Ever been in a car accident? Yes. I’m 260 years old. Shit happens.
26. Closer to mom or dad…or neither? Blow me.
27. What age is this exciting life over for you? Probably when I stole this fucking meme.
28. What decade during the 20th century would you have chosen to be a teenager? The 60s because that’s how it played out for me. The 60s defined who I am.
29. Favorite shoes you have EVER owned? The black ones.
30. Do you have an article of clothing you have had since you were in high school? Holy shit! Where did my high school football jersey go?
31. Were you in track and field? No. It wasn’t in me either.
32. Favorite fruit? Bananas. Guess why.
33. Have you ever written in a library book? Why did you rent one that said “Bud was here”?
34. Allergic to? Republicans and their worship of “job creators.”
35. Were you ever in a school talent show? In college. My roommate and I got booed. That was a fair reaction to our comedy sketch. Had we been shot to death, that would have been a fair reaction as well.

Our Milestone
Here’s Bud
- Bud Weiser - Downtown, Connecticut, United States
After a radio, nightclub and television career of over 25 years, I still write and perform comedy with essentially the same group of guys that I started with over 45 years ago. We began as WTIT: Tape Radio and have kept the moniker ever since. What WTIT is, however, a journal of a group of friends done in a radio morning show format playing the music of the era. We have every recording. We interviewed our girlfriends before “The Prom” or whatever. We shared growing up, getting married and having kids on WTIT. Later it was stories of divorces, new wives or girlfriends and grandchildren.
Just like with any group of friends, people came and left over the years. More than 50 gentlemen have sat around our big round table in what is now a state of the art digital recording studio. We still call it “Tape Radio” because we’re old guys who hate change. This comedy blog has won numerous awards and tells part of the story, but exists mostly to comment on life, politics, music and entertainment as it passed by our virtual window. One of our original guys left in 1985. But in 2013 he returned. So our starting five have three of the creators of WTIT.
Shortly after that on our http://facebook.com/WTITRADIO page we announced when our next recording night would be. Another of the original five had come back to join in. Galloping Gary, our brother, returned (since 1982) to record. The "Galloping Gary Garage Show" returned to WTIT in 2014. So for one special night (the first since 1973), four of the founding five were sitting at our table. The sight where all the guys who came after them had sat.
If you’re here for a laugh, we hope you enjoy your visit. If you’re here because of a cosmic accident where all of the web except this blog has gone, then we simply apologize. To learn more about WTIT visit WTIT.net. (View my
complete profile.)
