His radio needs a check-up...
           
                             
               
Joe
           
               

 

Why is Joe waiting outside Mr. Custer's office? Joe claims it was all a misunderstanding. Joe states, "Mr. Custer was under the impression that someone had made a remark about his girth while I was filling in on the Don Weeks Show." Joe explained that they were talking about Chuck's birth and how that should be heralded as a great day! Mr. Custer told Joe he thought he had heard the word girth. Joe suggested that Mr. Custer have his car radio checked by a qualified technician.

           
               
           
                             
               
Is Joe checking the drywall
or trying to distract the announcer in the adjacent studio?
           
                                   
               
Joe knocking on wall
           
                                   
                It appears that Joe is knocking on the studio wall to distract an on-air announcer in the next studio. Joe responds, "Absolutely not! I was checking the drywall. Why I am much to busy in the studio to find time for antics such as that." (see below)            
                     
           
               
Drywall, huh?
Then why was he hiding when the announcer in the next studio came to inquire about the noise?
           
                                   
               
Joe hiding
           
                                   
               

Joe says he was not hiding. He claims, "I was looking for my contact lens."

*editor's note: Joe does not wear contact lens

           
               
           
                             
               
What's the baseball player doing in the newsroom?
           
               
           
               
Read Shepherd in his baseball uniform
           
               

 

It's news anchor Read "Slugger" Shepherd! He had a ballgame to attend after his shift ended. Insiders tell us that the number on his back is either his waist size or the number of errors he has made at second base. Read denies that he is on an "over 40 tee-ball team." Does anyone know if Clark Kent ever wore his Superman outfit while working in the newsroom at a Metropolis newspaper?
(sorry that the picture is blurry)

Poor Joe !
claims he has never been on a station billboard.
However, he's designed one should they be interested

           
               
Joe on his proposed billboard

           
                             
               
Joe would like one on each side of Rt 7, 890, 90, 787, Rt. 9, Rt. 146 and 150 other locations.

Bogus Banner!
           
               
Joe on remote
           
                             
               
WGY claims it has no such banner as the one that appears in this photo. Please note that Joe, upon arriving, tripped over a speaker cord and bumped into the table -- knocking over two of the 3 plastic water bottles. Apparently he did not have time to tuck his shirt in as well.
           
               
           
               
Traffic Reporter Jessica Lamp
           
                             
               
"You have two feet!" Is that the look that WGY Traffic reporter Jessica Lamp appears to demonstrate to Joe upon his request that she bring him a cheeseburger, too? Joe claimed he was stuck to his chair (a phenomenon that some men -- ask their wives -- have endured for years).
           
                             
   

Is Joe Watching the Fishing Channel While He's On the Air?
Is that why he sometimes can't find his show materials?

Joe


Producer John Redding photographing Joe making it appear that he was looking up at the studio tv monitor and watching the fishing channel. Joe says, "John's papparazi tricks won't work. I was watching the first fly of the year manuevering around the studio. Sometimes I make it appear that I have lost my show materials but actually I'm right on the ball - a true professional. Fishing channel, no way. My concentration is 100% on the show....a... my show....not the fishing show. When I introduced Read Sheperd as Trout Sheperd awhile back, it was just a common mistake that many announcers make."


Marge Asks Joe a Few Questions...

Almost Show Host Marge
had a chance to sit with Joe
for a few minutes after a recent show.
Here are some of the questions she asked him:

Marge: Joe, in your next life, what would you like to be? I gather a radio announcer is out of the question.

Joe: Why do you say that Marge? What are you implying? Maybe in my next life, my career will get off to a better start, and maybe...just maybe Miss Wiseguy I will make it to the big time sooner.

Marge: Sooner? As in you still think you will make it to the big time IN THIS LIFE?

Joe: What kind of a dum question is that, Marge? I'm offended! Of course! I have my suit case in the studio all packed and ready to go, so when the big time calls - I'll be ready. I can be out the door in under 42 seconds.

Marge: Under 42 seconds? Joe, no offense but I don't think you could tie your shoe in 42 seconds. And I have seen that suit case. It is pretty dusty; looks like it has been there for quite awhile. I bet the clothes in there don't even fit you anymore.

Joe: Marge, in case you have missed part of my show...I have been introduced quite often as the Third Best Looking Guy in America...of course those clothes will still fit me. Ah, unless the moths have gotten at them.

(Interview stops briefly as Marge has a laughing and coughing spell): Joe, so you actually think you will be in the big time soon?

Joe: Ten four on that good buddy.

(Interview again stops briefly as Marge has another laughing and coughing spell)

Marge: Ten four on that good buddy? I haven't heard that phrase in 30 years! That phrase is almost as old as that suit case you've packed away in the studio. Joe, this thing you have with the big time....a...can you spell delusional?

Joe: d....e....l...o...u.... no, wait.....d...e...l....u...l...u...... look, I'm busy and I have to go put another suggestion in station's suggestion box. I see no reason why we can't have a tree swing out behind the station.

Marge: Thanks for your feeble attempt at answering some questions, Joe.

(Joe walks down the hallway, checking his cell phone to see if there is a message from the big time. Next stop: the vending machine. Show business can be cruel.)

Where's the Smile Big Guy?
Is Weekend Morning Show Producer John Redding Hiding Cavities?

(scroll down to see a smile appear)

John Redding, Producer

Some think the lack of a smile is because his pay isn't the same as it was when he was producing the big time Don Weeks Show -- others are inclined to think it might be tooth decay. Some say he is sad because his favorite singer was dropped from American Idol. John claims it is none of the above. He says he has a great smile but is saving it for later. You'll see. Please scroll down.


John Redding


John promises to show Joe G. how to turn his studio into resort, too. Stay tuned.


 
Joe & Don at radiothon
 
Joe and Don Weeks during a portion of a previous radiothon that aired from WMHT Studios. From 8 a.m. - 10 a.m. on Sunday morning, WGY and Fox 23 simulcasted the telethon. Although it is not known why they are both looking to their left, it is thought that they were either listening to WGY News and Program Director Chuck Custer, or it was a break in the action, and they were watching the food table being prepared. (By a vote of 4 - 2, it was thought to be the food table)

 

A previous telethon for the Children's Hospital at Albany Medical Center

Not sure what Joe is saying, but it appears that he is holding his stomach in for the tv camera during a previous telethon. Pictured left to right are Fox 23's Diane Lee and Mark Baker, Don, and some guy holding his stomach in for the tv camera.

Joe's pre-show tailgate party


You gotta be kidding! (notice the mustard on Joe)
Joe is stunned at the fate of the only hotdog. Not one to give up on the party,
Joe offered the hotdog to show producer Andy and news anchor Matt DelSignore. Both declined.
The banner came down and party ended early.


 
Fan Club Meeting!

Front of WGY Studios
Joe and so called banneer

Joe claims he was stunned to find this at the entrance to WGY studios. Joe remarked, "Wow, I can't believe it! Thank you so much."
(Insiders are skeptical of this photo. One said, "The kid is dreaming." Because no one has actually ever seen this poster on the front of the building, it is thought that someone (take a guess) doctored this photo to impress visitors to the website.)

 

Wow!
Look at all those Gizmos

A. He doesn't. Just listen to the show.
