This is very cool. It’s the kind of thing that makes all the hours we put into IHTM seem worthwhile.
KFI/Los Angeles is a talk radio powerhouse. It features the insane Bill Handel in the morning, Rush Limbaugh mid-day, the hilarious John & Ken in the afternoon, and Tim Conway Jr, our choice for America’s #1 Local Talk Show Host, in the evening.
On top of that KFI is what Rush Limbaugh calls “a flamethrower”. That is, it blasts out 50,000 watts of talk radio power all up and down the west coast. It’s been kicking ass in Los Angeles for about 20 years. And last time we checked KFI had the largest audience of any talk station in the nation.
OK, enough background. Let’s get to the meat of this story:
John & Ken are on vacation. Tim Conway was supposed to fill in on their afternoon show but came down sick on Friday. KFI’s program director, Robin Bertolucci, came up with the brilliant idea of having two guys from Northern California fill in for Tim.
Those two guys just happened to be Armstrong & Getty, who came in #2 on our list of America’s Top Ten Local Talk Show Hosts.
A&G decided to talk about IHateTheMedia.com. How cool is that?

Thanks, Armstrong & Getty.
