Allow me to Introduce myself

Hello to all of you out in NQ land. Allow me to introduce myself.

For those of you who log on every Tuesday night and listen to the Warrior’s show, I am the Warrior’s friend and former NY radio colleague Jay. I have appeared on his show weekly over the past few months discussing the topics of the day and giving my opinions or just asking questions that have not been asked.

After last week’s show, I had a chance to speak to Susan and she made me an offer I could not refuse…so…going forward the Warrior will be known as the Norman Lear of NQ Radio and there is now a “spin-off” of his show.

Starting Wednesday January 7th, 2009 at 9pm Eastern Time (6pm for those of you out on the left coast), I will be hosting a new show on NQ Radio, “No Topic Taboo…Everything Else with Jay”. Now this show is going to be a little different for the NQ audience. As Susan and I discussed, the topic matters to be dealt with we decided that everything is game: news and current events, politics, sports and the entertainment world will all be open for discussion. I may come in with a game plan for the evening but you the NQ listener will drive the show.

Some of the topics that might come up in the first month or show of the show include, The BCS Championship game which is the night after my debut show (and watch this space for a future blog on how I feel on the whole BCS/No football playoff issue), the NFL Playoffs, the Super Bowl and the Super Bowl ads. (What will happen to them with everything going on in this economy? Months ago GM said they were pulling out before they asked for the cash. Who will be there and who else won’t???), the inauguration and all of the events around it, The Golden Globe Awards and award shows in general and anything else that might pop up. But as I said as much as I may have a game plan this show is going to be driven by you, the NQ listener. So don’t be afraid to pop us on and take me for a left turn. And yes I am working on some guests (calling the Warrior..calling the Warrior). Some will be regulars here on NQ and others I will be keeping under wraps for now.

I would like to thank Larry & Susan for giving me this opportunity. I think we are going to have some fun, provoke a few thoughts and maybe an argument or 2.

I hope you’ll join me on January 7th and make it “appointment on line radio” each week. Stealing a line from a local NY sports radio host….”We can’t do it without you the listener.”

For those of you around the country dealing with the onset of winter weather like I am don’t over do it clearing the snow. Everyone if I don’t get a chance to blog before, have a Happy ______________ (fill in the blank depending on what you celebrate, and have a good rest of the weekend).

I am your humble scribe and NQ radio host and I am out for now.

PS: For those of you who can or wish I urge to support the effort of my close friend the Warrior with the “Capture the Magic” ads here on NQ. Great way to get that ooh and ah from your kids on Christmas morning and help the efforts to “keep the lights on” here at NQ

    Hi Jay! What’s a BCS?

    • James

      Really? Bowl Series Championship. For the college football. Florida vs. Oklahoma.

      • AnnieO

        Yes, really! Thanks! I guess you can tell I don’t follow college football.

        • Karma

          Annie,

          Thanks for asking….that one had me stumped too.

          ~~

          Welcome Jay! Sounds like fun…I look forward to the variety.

          So do you think De La Hoya should retire after the Pacquiao fight?

          • Jay L

            Honestly I really don’t follow boxing that much but I guess I might have to now. A local NY radio host who also does boxing for HBO Tony Page says he should and I respect his opinions for the most part.

            • Karma

              We catch a few on HBO…but aren’t huge followers of the sport.

              So don’t miss any of your favorite teams for us…lol

              Pacquiao is one of my favorites though and an honorable fighter. A lesser man might have gone after De La Hoya’s badly swollen eye.

              Even though Pacquiao stayed away from it.

              The last two rounds when De La Hoya barely raised a fist…I watched it through my fingers.

              Don’t change your schedule. And I agree, De La Hoya should retire.

        • James

          No problem!

          Root for the Gators btw! ;)

          • AnnieO

            GO GATORS!!!!

            • Ferd Berfle

              Sooners all the way–Go Big Red!

        • Jay L

          Annie,

          No worries. It won’t always be football or sports so I hope you tune in and check my show out.

          • AnnieO

            I sure will, Jay!

    Welcome, Jay! Sounds great!!! (Hey – will you cover baseball once the season starts, too??)

    • Cubs in 09

      Yes! We baseball fans are dyin’ of “thirst.” :mrgreen:

      • http://www.rabblerouserruminations.blogspot.com/ Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy

        Exactly Cubbie! Oh, I do love my baseball…Can’t WAIT for Spring Training – it will help to take the edge off of this year…

        • Cubs in 09

          Only about 3 months ’til Spring Training! :D

          BTW… What’s happened to Galt?

    • Jay L

      Yes absolutely I will talk about baseball once the season arrives and maybe even the 2nd World Baseball Classic MLB’s attempt to make baseball a world game and get it and softball back in the Olympics.

      I will warn you all when the topic of baseball comes up it will be discussed from the perspective of a diehard Met fan (sorry you all in Atlanta & Philly).

    Jay, sounds great, thank you. I’ll try to tune in, but that’s always a bad time for me with dinner, etc. I’m o the Mtn coast. lol (who knew we had a coast?)

    • Jay L

      You are welcome. And if you can’t listen live there is always the recording right after the show. I am in the process of setting up an email address for the show and if you can’t listen live you can always email your questions once I have it set up.
