KHUM-FM “Radio Without The Rules” // Ping-Pong

KHUM FM Radio Without The Rules // Ping Pong

I’m going to be on the air tomorrow morning with disc jockey, Michael Moore, Jr. of KHUM-FM, a freeform radio station based in Humboldt County. We are playing a game of radio ping-pong. If you are not familiar with the concept of radio ping-pong, it’s pretty simple. One person picks a song – then the other follows it up with a selection of their own. You can stream the show live from 10:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. PST on KHUM.com (click on live stream). It’s going to be a great show.

Here is the set list from last year’s show.

Who Is This Guy?

Who Is This Guy?

Does anyone know who the passed out guy is in the picture when the Hype Machine goes down? Dirty hands, a 40-ounce, and looks like he has a can of soup in his pocket. Is it
Anthony on a bender in college?

Things To Make One Feel Better:
“Eat an ice cream sandwich in the shower. If that does not work, then: Travel to Little Rock, Arkansas and wait for something outrageous to happen and then look at the person next to you and say, “Only in New York.” If that does not work, try: When you see someone reading People or US Weekly magazine try lighting it on fire. Get a GED for a lawn mower. Open a locksmith company and call it Sure Lock Homes. Let diarrhea just happen — where and whenever. Tell your parents that even though they have ruined your last six Christmases you sill think they are wonderful.”
