Why Won't KTSA Personel
Apologize For Phone-In Fakery?

Because They're Not Sorry

550 'Undergrounders' In Their Own Words
RG Griffing, SAL Commentary

Vomit, drugs and rock-n-roll.

That's what you missed, if you didn't catch Chris Duel's "Show" Monday.

KTSA managers continue to stonewall about the weird goings-on in their PM talk show.

At least one phony phone call was inadvertently admitted to by host Duel in an internet forum apparently sanctioned by the CBS/Infinity-owned station. An examination of that website has yielded more about the new direction that KTSA is taking.

More about that later. But first...

Duel began his Monday show by encouraging his side-kick, Ruben "The Bone," to vomit on the air.

Then, in an overblown tribute to dope-advocate/writer Hunter S Thompson, who suicided Sunday, Duel featured the famous opening lines from Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas.

"We were just outside of Barstow when the drugs kicked in."

Duel raved about it.

Senior KTSA reporter Michael Board allowed that Thompson demonstrated "what Journalism should be about."

A later interview with a Thompson associate began with the declaration that the guest had just moments before "smoked a doobie" in honor of Thompson.

Later, "The Bone" asked Duel: "Are you stoned?"

Many other drug references -- even music about dope -- were offered up by the host.

Now that's entertainment.

Of course, it is easy to see where Duel is going with his trashy approach.

His latest arbitron ratings are weak, and it is now glaringly obvious that he will do anything to get attention. KTSA is clearly giving him a free hand. In seeming desperation he is attempting to become yet another Howard Stern. Underline attempting.

Why is the SA Lightning going out of their way to trash Duel?

[TastesLikeChicken]

How is this even a story?

Fake calls are simply part of radio, Just some more subtle than others. A friend of mine in DC makes a living as a professional "caller" He's paid to call 7 or 8 shows a day (many of which are popular nationally syndicated shows) and make the show interesting.

[pooh]

If you click on that link and go to other articles about it, you'll see the whole story.

Apparently when the phony caller called in (topic of that day was honesty in media) host Ricci Ware didn't know what was going on.

Then, the lightning began posting articles on it, using transcripts from the 550 underground message board. Even going as far as to put the real people's names behind their screen names on there.

All Duel has to do is just come clean and apologize, question is...well he?

[MannyIsGod]

WTF?

It's a SHOW. Apologize for what? Did you want an apology when you found out the Blair Witch Project wasn't real?

The Lighting is posting posts from the site when the site is simply a playground. Give me a ing break.

[MannyIsGod]

I just read those stories.

I think that "publication" is a one man gang.

Nice, "shocking expose". I think it's a one man gang with a large unfounded ego.

Why is the SA Lightning going out of their way to trash Duel?

maybe because KTSA does not Sponser the SAL

[AlamoSpursFan]

Why is the SA Lightning going out of their way to trash Duel?

Because Griffing has a hard on for Carl Wigglesquit. I think the fro turns him on, or maybe it's the bbq...I'm not exactly sure.

Dude has been bitter and broken since the day that old blue hair was -canned by KTSA and wants nothing more than to see Comedy Boy working as a greeter in a Wal-Mart on the west side.

Anybody know where we can e-mail this "RG Griffing" guy?

Thank you!!

Pooh,
Get a life ! It's talk radio, not bible study. People tune in so they can hear something interesting and edgy. If they wanted boring they would listen to Wiglesworth and his tin-foil hat society. If I want someone to preach the evils of society to me then I will go to church (which I do). When I turn on the radio, I am making a CHOICE to hear free speech and discussion that is interesting and sometimes very important and often presented in a fun and light hearted style. Chris Duel's show rocks !!
As far as the SAL article goes, you could take excerpts from anyone's show out of context and make them look bad. RG Griffing and Carl Wiglesworth are just little bitter people with an axe to grind. Don't be suckered by them. What did they do offer you an interview for your book in exchange for promoting their propaganda in here? Inquiring minds want to know?

...2blonde

^RACK^ 2Blonde excellent post, To bad you don't post here more often,

I was told not to comment on this topic when the story broke, And out of respect for Chris Duel VTS , and Kori? I did as I was instructed.

I had no idea how much Pooh hated Chris. Kinda makes sense now when I think about some of the new screen names at the 550 Underground,

Dude Almente ,and DizzG, have both banned me more than one also, And I don't wake up mad at them in the morning, You must really hold a grudge, But who knows what goes on in your head, Maybe you should write a book about it.


ASF That was funny, And BigSnack you kill me with he does not look bitter comment, As for the answer to Kori's Question? Kori The Lightning is in bed with La Prensa News paper and you know who writes for them..Think about it, when was the last time you dusted?




If you look close at the original photo? you can tell it's been photo shopped a million times,
In fact what you see in my hand is this...

I wonder how many radio/TV shows have websites and someone at that site smokes weed? I can see how this story is a big deal now,And it is so new, and fresh... I can see why they are called the Lightning,,,

[MannyIsGod]

Lmao @ mouse having a hookah pipe in the picture now. What better way to smoke your weed?

[mouse]

Brah click the link you will see I don't smoke weed it is a legal herb....

How is life with your girlfriend she is really sarcastic you two will go far my friend.



When will you get married and score a goal? She is hot .

[pooh]

Pooh,
Get a life ! It's talk radio, not bible study. What if they offered you an interview for your book in exchange for promoting their propaganda in here? Inquiring minds want to know?...2blonde

I didn't write the article 2Blonde. I find it very interesting and humorous. Yeah I have some bitter ill feelings for some of the people over at the 550 Underground, but that's my business and no one else's. I've hardly ever listened to Duels' show, it's not my type of show actually. Neither have I listened to Wigglesworth either. Although I recently had a chance to work at the new station Wigglesworth and Sonneland will be starting up in a few weeks though.

But to answer the last part of your quote, if I was offered an interview for my book in exchange for something...who knows? Everyone has a price.

Oh Mouse...I don't "hate" Duel.

[2pac]

Duel is a jackass.

I made some snide comment on the WOAI forum back in the day, and he called me up, cussed me out and threatened to hurt me. It was pretty funny. Dude was all worked up. I shoulda gotten him fired then.

That doesn't sound like Chris Duel at all. He called you on the phone?

Yep. Manny may remember it. I was chatting with him on AIM when Duel called me. This was maybe in 2000.

[mouse]

To bad 2pac can't use the Ignore feature on the pay phone at the state hospital...

[2pac]

The wrath of an overweight bald wannabe comedian isnt something that would keep me up at night mouse.

Congrats Chris - you finally got a real job when you were 40, you have yet to figure out the amazing mysteries that is HTML, you've written a bunch of books that noone has read, you were an embarrassment to WOAI - which got you canned - and now you are an embarrassment to KTSA.

Keep setting the example for San Antonio's youth.

[mouse]
