What IWS Fans Are Saying

Schadenfreude

Hi Kidz.  I know this is late but, I got up at 5:38 AM on Sunday, did a radio show, and my brother came over, I had a fridge full of beer, and THAT..?

That is not a good combination for meeting a Midnight deadline.

Anyhoo, here’s the thing.  We’re Number One.  IWS Radio is Number One today, was yesterday, and looking at yesterday’s initial show numbers, that show will be Number One in the near future.

Hell.  Our shows have hit Number One in the Blog Talk Radio Comedy category every day for the past month.

But…Success is a double-edged sword.  While many folks love us, others who burn with inglorious envy, dream to take us down, and invoke the self-serving power of…

Schadenfreude

Yes my friends, during yesterday’s IWS Open Phone Line Sunday Show, hundreds listened live and several inglorious bastards called-in in order to belittle us, throw us off our Number One game, and denigrate us.

It was, in a word, hurtful.

However, we adapted, overcame, and sallied forth with our mission of providing quality entertainment at a fair price.

Being the professionals that Jayman and I are, phone calls sullied with contempt for our achievements cannot keep us from filling your Sundays and Wednesdays with a smile, nor a laugh, or merely a chuckle.

We…are…that…good.  And Number One as well.  Have I mentioned that?

On the upside, our IWS friend and uber-hottie Missy, had her daughter Regan call-in and tell us of her trick and treating exploits which was quite nice, and…

We spent some time talking to the baaaaaaaad boy of Social Media, Dr. Mike Sevilla, who while not providing a diagnosis for our sickly friend Schmoop, was as charming as always.

So, if you care to hear what a Number One BTR show sounds like, listen to yesterday’s show and hear why others of lesser talent are hating us, envying us, and want to be like us.


Cheers!!

I wear the Troll Patrol's jealousy and contempt for us like a badge of honor.
