The guy (Sam Malone) personally drove me batty.  His act coupled with his annoying laugh would actually make me angry if I listened to him for very long.  I guess eveyone is different, but I could never get into his show.  I personally think Phscyo Robbie should be canned immediately.  That guy was the ultimate in lame.

Actually, it's been a while since I've heard Psycho Robbie on the radio....I'm thinking he's been gone longer than Sam Malone. I never understood his role in the morning show anyway. Her certainly didn't have a radio voice and didn't have any real appeal, nor did he add much to the show as a whole. He seemed to kind of the "dumb guy" comic relief from time to time....

BTW, I was talking with some people yesterday and mentioned Moby and Matthews that once ruled the airwaves, probably before most of you were even born, and wondered if the Matthews part was the same Jon Matthews from KSEV that got busted last year for indecency with a minor. Anyone?

It is indeed the same Jon Matthews. I don't think he was involved in radio any longer at the time, but out here in the Sugar Land/Fort Bend area, he wrote editorial pieces for one of the local papers (I'd like to say the Fort Bend Sun, but don't quote me) generally about the local government figures out here .... he HATED Sugar Land's previous mayor, Dean Hrbacek and never missed an opportunity to bash him and anyone who might support him in his columns. The columns got really heated and spurred many a heated rebuttal from the reading audience. He always kept it stirred up and interesting for sure. Hrbacek, I think, even went so far as to file suit against Matthews for stepping over the line at some point.

So when the allegations of the sexual misconduct (exposing himself to a neighbor's young teenage daughter) came along, a lot of people -- at least in this neck of the woods -- wondered if this could be some type of retaliatory move. But, he apparently pleaded guilty to the charges and entered some type of alcohol program and got probation from what I last heard. So I'm guessing an innocent Jon Matthews --- as much as he loved the controversy and a good battle of words would have fought back.....now he's a registered sex offender and no one's heard a peep out of him......

Story was in the Chronicle the other day. Sam Malone left suddenly while his contract was still under review, to everyone's apparent surprise, to go to KTRH and run a morning talk show. Turns out he's been to two Bush inaugurations, loves to talk about local issues and just couldn't handle playing another 50 cent song. Should be interesting, love to have somebody come in with something more interesting to listen to than Dan Patrick's CLOUT issue or Ed Hendee's anger at the world-at-large.
