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!
1. I read that Bud Weiser & Kathy moved into their new house! When was the last time you moved? Where to? Since I’m one of “Bud and Kathy”, you figure it out.
2. If they were making a Hall of Fame for the blogosphere, name a blogger or two who you think should make the list. Why? In terms of real impact, Bobby Griffin of “Bestest Blog”. He gave out daily awards and they were coveted. We won ours here. In 2006-7, he brought hundreds of bloggers together.
My kids a decade ago, 2001
3. What are couple of funny things you remember your parents saying? (Like, “They’re starving there in China, so finish what you’ve got.” – John Lennon) Do you say them to your kids? My kids are grown, so no. But any parent raising kids ends up saying things that made them cringe because they were the sames things your parents said that you hated.
4. What is something that has happened to you that you would consider a miracle? Having a female fan of mine from the 70s contact me. In less than two years we fell in love, got engaged and bought a house. I’m surprised that anyone would even talk to me.
5. What is it too late for? It’s too late baby, baby it’s too late, though we really tried to make it.
6. What do you try to stay away from? Doing anything or saying anything when I am angry.
7. When you get into a disagreement or fight, how often are you the first to apologize? Yes, constantly. Guys are generally wrong.
8. Tell us about a current issue that you’re unhappy with. The pure hatred between the 1% and the Republicans who defend them and the rest of us. The conservatives treats us as though we are incredibly stupid. And when you look at the polls, about a third of Americans agree with them. They live as Bill Maher puts it, “inside the bubble”.
9. How often do you update your blog/site and why? Two or three times a week. Fascinating fucking question.
Enjoy your weekend.
WTIT: The Blog will return tomorrow

Judd Corizan and

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
