Friday Feb 28 - Sam and Bob, you just finally got my Amish joke today, didn't you? Here's the printed version. Sam, how did you know I read the joke? I sounded so natural like given that you only gave me a minute to spew it out. It's George Stephanopoulos, not Stinkanopoulos, guys. ABC should have kept Cokie, I agree with Bob on this one.
By
the way, congratulations Bob Cole on being inducted
in to the Country Hall of Fame even
though you haven't quite made it on the
list yet! They just need to update their website. You're in some
pretty awesome company, both in the Hall of Fame and in the KVET studios.
Sam and Bob are Austin's talk show kings (or do I mean swat team?) on the radio. Their show is one of the best places in the community to get a no bs take on local politics and the Mayor's race. AustinMayor.com has an ongoing confrontation about the Mayors race on this show. Bob thinks austinmayor.com's Paul "sounds like a reasonable fellow" and Sammy says "Schmuck". Kind of a good guy bad guy act, yeah sort of
Marc Katz came on the show Feb 27 and announced his campaign kickoff on March 7th at "One Pastrami Center" otherwise known as Sixth and Rio Grande. Austinmayor.com has a rare interview with Katz who is promising to give us an exclusive on his blockbuster announcement to come out in the next week or two. Details on the Marc Katz page. We're still waiting for that website of Katz' to lively up.
Recent news gathered from the
Sam and
Bob Show (Feb 25) is that Leslie got busted for public intoxication and got let
out right away. And (Feb 26) they're "tearing in to Jennifer
Gale" (Feb 26). And Marc Katz live interview with Sam only (Feb 27). Stories like these make it on to the austinmayor.com
website because we hear it there first, before it hits the Chronicle or the
Statesman. What they didn't tell you is that since his incarceration,
Leslie has undergone a makeover and now he looks like the picture on the left.
Sam and Bob think that everyone in the race so far is and outsider except for
Max Nofziger ("something there") and Will Wynn ("really something
there"). They look at Will Wynn as the overwhelming favorite, the
frontrunner, the man to beat. Their Leslie commentary is that "the
joke has gone too far". "Marc Katz: ...eyyhhh". Jennifer
Gale, "nahhh" or something like that. I forgot what they said about
Brad Meltzer.
The real test for austinmayor.com is coming. The site is getting ready to roll out its own special sections on candidate Max Nofziger and candidate Will Wynn, austinmayor.com has been pointing at their official sites up until now. You'll find a no holds barred, objective look at both the Max and Will campaigns when we roll this out on Tuesday March 4th, 2003 live during the Sam and Bob Show. You'll find out how objective we are, because we're taking on both of the big dogs (Nofziger and Wynn) and seeing what's really there and what's not there. Per suggestion from the Sam and Bob show's producer, austinmayor.com will be calling in to the show on Tuesdays and/or Thursdays and providing updates on the Mayors race in Austin.
Material below from the Sam and Bob website, and we quote now:
 Format:
The multitude of listeners dictates the topic of the day, hour, or
minute. It doesn't matter if the subject is politics, music, sports, or
even sage wisdom from Austin's self-proclaimed authorities on
everything.Music: The Morning Call-In Show probably has more live music than any other morning radio show in the US. Recently, its listeners were treated to the musical talents of artists such as Willie Nelson, Larry Gatlin, Roy Clark, Rick Trevino, Rhett Akins, Clint Black, David Ball, Dwight Yoakam, and the Dixie Chicks. Sam and Bob are also very supportive of local musicians and have hosted every local favorite from Jerry Jeff Walker to Don Walser. Public Service: Whether it's a spontaneous decision to hold a Beanie Baby drive for a terminally ill child, a million-dollar fund raiser for the Children's Hospital, or a friendly reminder to vote on Election Day, Sam and Bob use the success of their show and KVET's 105,000 watts to be a positive resource for the community with the result of truly making a difference in Austin's quality of life.  The sum of two halves is generally greater than the whole. With Sam and Bob, the sum of each part equals Austin's number one morning radio show. Perhaps because Sam is Austin's most enduring daily radio personality since 1969, and Bob is right behind him (in Austin since 1977), they are second to none on Austin's radio waves.
