10:05 Oh My God! It's Jackie Lantern and The Film Geek on Jerry Waters!
10:06 - Jerry reads from this blog...again - still didn't give out the URL!
10:08 - Jackie trying to explain a blog to Pete Thaw: "Well, imagine an abacus..." LOL!
10:15 - Jackie says that everyone who knows him recognizes he is independently wealthy! LMAO! Jerry says he looks like someone who is going to hold up a 7-11!
10:24 - No, it wasn't me that asked to be on the show. I can't imagine who it might have been.
10:25 - Raging Red gets some love from Jerry. "I think she's a lawyer." Duh!
10:26 - Jerry's going to post a link to the HotDogBlog. A guy on the phone wants to be start a hot dog cart business. Film Geek asks "what is everything on a hot dog?" Stanton is beaming, I'm sure.
10: 28 - Commercial break. Good show so far. Thought: Jackie, can a link list be added to wvbloggers as a central clearing house to send people looking for local bloggers?
10:38 - More love for the Hot Dog Blog. Stanton is a "Media Darling."
10:39 - Caller questions anonymity of bloggers. Is she calling for an investigation of blogger?! Jerry says only 2 or 3 are worthwile. Most are rants and raves. Not news. Somebody mention feeds and subscriptions, please!
10:43 - So far the callers seem to be interested in bloggers and blogging. I expect that we'll get some traffic as a result if Jerry will give out a URL. How about Oncee? His URL is manageable to communicate orally and he has an awesome blogroll.
oncee.blogspot.com/
10:50 - Jerry Acknowledges this live blogging effort. STILL DOESN"T GIVE A URL!!!
10:53 - Film Geek and Jerry discuss Clint Eastwood's "Flags of Our Fathers." Film Geek is a "flaming liberal!" according to Jerry. Film Geek's review is here.
First hour is in the books. Topics were limited to blogging, bloggers, David Anderson and the Sandy Brae auction. Film Geek seems to be hogging the mic. Poor Jackie can't get a word in edgewise. I'd like to hear more about the source of Jackie's wealth, but I suspect Jerry's right and it comes from a life of crime. Very entertaining radio, at least for me.
11:05 - Finally gives a URL. But to the wvhotdogs.com site. Maybe folks can link to blogs from there.
11:08 - Jerry raises the prospect of making money on blogs. Film Geeks says he would if he knew how! Amen, brother! Maybe Jackie's figured it out?
11:12 - Regular caller and uber-con from Lincoln County, Bryant, calls to talk about a movie he hasn't seen. Jerry sounds reasonable by comparison.
11:16 - Jackie finally gets to talk. Says he blogs about the "most rediculous things ever." Funny, he doesn't sound like an independantly wealthy man.
11:23 - Jerry backhands the radiothon on WCHS and asks for donations to his personal benefit. They are raising money for St. Jude's Children's Hospital on the other station.
11:30 - Heading into the last half-hour. I wish Jerry would talk about the great blogs like Rick Lee, Downtown WV, Oncee, Donutbuzz, etc. There really is a good diversity of Charleston/Huntington bloggers that is not being represented. Some really great writers, too, like Sharon Lyn, that people would enjoy reading.
11:35 - Jerry reads an email from on the air from Scarlett. She says bloggers aren't all about ranting and raving, but connecting with people of like interests. Well said! Jerry plugs the hot dog site again.
All in all a fun show. Thanks Jerry, for acknowledging our meaningless existence. Thanks Film Geek and Jackie for representing us well.

Sorry I missed it. I'm in Morgantown for work. Thanks for the plug as well. I have a few more WV bloggers that need to go on the blogroll. I need to get it up-to-date.
Unless it's a dot com, it's very difficult to give a URL out over the air. That's why I said that I would post everyones link on my website. And guess what? I have! Enjoyed having the bloggers today! Keep up the good work.
PS.. To Stanton: The hot dogs sucked:)
Waittaminut...The Film Geek seems to be hogging the mic?!?
Sigh...
After Film Geek and Jackie's triumphant appearance on the show I had lunch with them and they brought along their new best buddy, Mr. Waters himself. Jerry didn't find the hot dogs at Chris' to his liking, but at least he knows what real hot dogs are supposed to have on them.
Good job today, guys!
OK, "hogging" might be a strong word. It might have been that the host was simply more interested in you, or that he was a little scared of Jackie.
Nah, I just got jumped by a caller or two who realized they could take some shots at guy who admitted to being a liberal is all.
It was great fun. I enjoyed the show, as well as the hot dogs at Chris'. And, thanks to Stanton for picking up the tab!
Film Geek was hoggin' the mike alright.
I had prepared lots of important, well-informed statements to make involving the local Blogosphere. Unfortunately Film Geek was so busy spreading his liberal propaganda I never got the chance.
Hopefully Jerry will invite us back. It was alot of fun, nervewracking, but fun. And thanks for the dogs Stanton. I guess I'll be buying that hat after all....
Big props to Charles for the Live Blogging!!!
Glad Jackie chimmed in, I was sort of waiting for his response. Thanks for the laugh.
"My side won" in 2004! LOL
I also wanna thank Charles for beefing up the entertainment aspect of the show, at least for me. When I tried to stir it up Friday with the comment: "You read a lot of Charles' stuff on the air, Jerry" he sorta passed over that quickly. But the blow-by-blow account was terrific fun to read.
Get the had, Lantern. It's high quality stuff. And maybe if you're lucky Stanton will autograph it for you, so people will believe you when you tell them you knew him "Way back when." :)
"Hat" ...typo
By the way.. there's a couple of photos of the Blogging stars themselves at the bottom of this page:

Too bad we don't have decent local talk radio over here in Moneyton. We basically have one AM guy that is slightly to the right of Virgil Goode and a few shows that try to pretend that Marshall university men's basketball has faintly resembled a real D-I program since the late 80s.
sounds like a good time was had by all.
