JP Black and Jack Taddeo get into the fun behind the scenes world of radio about being actually live, and all the chaos and greatness that can come when the adrenaline kicks in with a hot mic!

Jack talks about changing the format game at WLIT in Chicago at 93.9 Lite FM and what would actually when DEAD AIR is heard over the station airwaves. Do we yell at someone first or get it back on the air first? JP finds out if Jack can fire him 10+ years later for letting F-Bombs from Ozzy on the air!

The comic we picked is called "Dead Air" (how appropriate!) written by Benjamin Hunting and art by Joe Ng. Imagine if once a year, every year, you could talk to the dead. That’s the world of Dead Air, where this technology has become just another commercial service. When Michelle, the main character, finally decides to use it to reconnect with an old friend from her college radio days, she ends up getting way more than she bargained for.

And yes - the viral moment mentioned in this episode with a young Kevin Walters who, in protest of the Des Plaines Oasis shutting down, handcuffed himself to the door. It was a special place for him as he was conceived there after a Phil Collins concert. I believe it was a Burger King bathroom.

Comics and talk about 103.9 The Fox, a station that Jack format flipped and put JP on (for some reason) in afternoons! We wrap up with some tangent on Batman Radio, Michael Keaton anger, and random drag racing stories. Anything goes on Comics.FM (if only we had wings to steal a gimmick from Hot Ones...)

Patrick wishes he could become Quarterman as a superhero with a built in quarter made from his thumb. He hangs out near the Aldi carts. Plus the modified X-Ray vision? Sounds like a real skelephile. He ain't saving anyone from cart catastrophes!

Comics.FM with J.P. Black is just like the show with the wings, except less messy and lower tier celebs. And zoom with whatever equipment we have.
