  I'm pressed for time, so there will sadly be no introductory sketch for Request Line this week.  Last week's theme was "Makin' Movies" and quite naturally that topic bled into songs about Hollywood.  So I thought I'd extend that theme into this week and make this week's topic all cities.  Since

INT. DFO PRODUCTION OFFICE - DAY. A pair of sleazy Hollywood producers are deep in conversation with an NFL tight end. RIKKI-TIKKI-DEADLY: ...and I'll be honest, this is a much better offer than you'll get from, say, Old School Zero over at Sony. DARKEST TIMELINE ZACK MORRIS: Ha ha ha! They can't even

So apparently Kevin Smith (the filmmaker, not the former Lions running back) suffered a pretty serious heart attack on Sunday.  He was brought to Glendale Hospital which is a stone's throw away from where I live.  It's so close that I even thought about walking the short mile over to

INT. RECORDING STUDIO - DAY We join Request Line in process.  The PRODUCER is seated comfortably at the outer console, sipping coffee.  He raises a hand and counts down from five before punching a button and pointing at the figure seated inside.

Like many Americans, I'm a bit obsessed with the implosion of our current White House administration.  So much so that I have attempted to restrict my consumption of political news by only allowing myself to read about it while I'm on the toilet (as I feel a Venn diagram of

INT. RECORDING STUDIO - DAY The PRODUCER, portraying a false sense of cheerfulness, flips switches and adjusts levels in preparation for the afternoon's show.  DJ 3000 is still in sulk mode. PRODUCER: So, you're still upset about last week? DJ 3000: ... PRODUCER: Come on, don't be like that.  Fumblesnapskin was a big get

So when I was a little kid, I had very blond hair.  Like, platinum blond.  My brother and sister were the same.  As we got older, our hair got darker, eventually settling into its final color by my mid-twenties.  It was around that time of my life that I was

INT. RECORDING STUDIO - DAY The booth is empty.  CONNOR, THE INTERN'S desk is vacant, with only a single banker's box of random mementos sitting on top awaiting collection.  The PRODUCER sits in front of the exterior control panel, fiddling with knobs in preparation for the first broadcast of the offseason.

At the start of every new year, I wonder how many people float checks with the date of the previous year and don’t get either punched or a crowbar to the gut. (Hey, checks still do the job, as long as the memo doesn’t say “BRIBE”.) My guess is plenty

INT. PRIVATE KARAOKE ROOM - NIGHT A pair of radio professionals are sipping beers in a box karaoke room.  A disco ball spins above and flashing lights abound, but the scene is otherwise quite relaxed. PRODUCER: So this is it.  The last day of your internship. CONNOR, THE INTERN: Yup. PRODUCER: You know, I
