As the program is on its midsummer hiatus, this week we bring you this little tidbit from the vast Fat Robot Radio Audio Archives. Brad Bugos, one time radio professional, made a series of these air check tapes in various attempts to procure gainful employment in the broadcasting industry. Though it would seem that professional radio WAS NOT READY for the “Bugos Method” as it would later come to be called, the intrinsic skill of our very own Media Mad Scientist is apparent. Like Decca Records rejecting the Beatles, modern commercial radio proved themselves short sighted, wholly unable to detect the value of a scrappy young Bugos. Thankfully a great cultural tragedy was averted, as Bugos descended several miles underground to the super secret Fat Robot Laboratories, and as history will inevitably reflect, changed the face of modern broadcasting forever.

   Brad Bugos sounds like this old guy who used to hang around the local school yard offering all the young girls candy at a discount rate. Also he sounds retarded.

   It’s Steve Jiff from Real Rock Radio Racine WI 106.3 FM

   Hey Jiff

   you think that is something, just wait until I find the other aircheck tape I sent to WDWS after I never heard back from that one. I got a little nasty and depressed on the next tape. I was doing impressions and saying how much I hated their ignorant station. I did hear back from them though. They told me to stop sending them stuff. Maybe after the next slate of new FRR episodes we can post that tape.

   By the way Jiff I loved your Britney Spears interview, why did she sound so nasally? She is such a bitch!

   Now that a clip of my show is up on myspace, you can clearly see why this guy never made it in radio. Voice? Poor. Enunciation? Poor. Resonation? Bad. Sense of Humor? Non-existant. Go to http://www.myspace.com/jiffsshennanigans and hear what a real radio show should sound like. Cut the Crap Bugos, and just hang yourself with your dick. Oh wait, it won’t reach. HA HA!

   Steve Jiff, you can only dream of being as cool as Brad Bugos. If we wanted to listen to you insult people then we’d listen to your craptastic show.
