To whom it may concern,
I am writing to kindly ask that WWL consider adding the Penn Jillette radio show to their afternoon line-up. I have been listening to the podcast on Itunes for some time and think that the programming would find a large audience in the New Orleans and surrounding areas. It’s that good!
A particularly enjoyable segment on the show that I’m sure New Orleanians will love is their weekly “Monkey Tuesday” show in which callers phone in and share any stories involving our simian friends. Recent stories have been about a monkey murdering a woman’s dog, four drunk sailors eating monkey brains, a monkey beating up a man’s drunk (abusive?) uncle and a monkey feeling up a woman in front of her husband. They also play a looping piano jive in which the raspy-voiced Penn accompanies with ooh-ee-ee’s and ah-ah-ah’s. Hilarious!
Other highlights of the show are Penn’s gravely spewn rants against all religion, commentary on interracial sex with comedienne Lisa Lampenelli and request for viewers to send in actual silicon breast implants.
A particular episode of recent memory occurred in the days following Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld’s resignation when Rummy’s old friends called in to pay tribute to him and share some of their old stories about his “wilder” days. Let me tell you, that guy was a madman! Whoa!
And Jillette is a good example for the children of New Orleans. He doesn’t do drugs and has never drank alcohol.
Recent show titles have been, “Pledge Of Allegiance: Who Cares?” “Public Death Tapes and Vomiting On Stage” and “What’s Your Kink?”
Eh? (nudge nudge) Eh? Sounds good right?
At least on AM.
I gotta get going. Let me know.
Yours,
Lance Vargas
