Renny G (host)
No, Johnny. I too hope I haven't pushed any people off the wagon. I realized after I put the show together that there is now a Dry February campaign encouraging people to reduce their drinking. I can't drink anymore, so I live vicariously through music.

3:05 PM, February 8th, 2023
Renny G (host)
Luv you too, hillbilly.

Hey, for better or worse booze is a part of the human experience. Maybe you can counter with a show about rehab songs haha

Renny G (host)
Black History Month gives me an excuse to program an afternoon of jump blues & black rock & roll.

Renny G (host)
I guess I could play two hours of straight edge punk to make up for this music about the demon drink. Unfortunately I'm not overly fond of that particular genre.
