Ill flip it over if there isn't anything on for about 5 minutes. While I don't really enjoy his show. I do have to show some respect for what he does for his foundations and helping fallen service men and women. I forgot what the outcome was when he supposedly beat his girlfriend. Did the charges ever stick, did she change her story?

To each his own...its obvious that some folks enjoy his show, but it's just not my flavor. I just can't tune out the constant giggling from that douche in the background, for shit that isn't funny...it reminds me of a cheesy laugh-track from a sitcom.
It's obvious the Dude also lives a pretty dysfunctional life...you can gauge that from the many failed relationships with women as well as others who have, at some point, been close to him....not to mention how he has distanced himself from his own family.
The Observer did a pretty good piece on him several years back that was probably of the more unbiased and real that I've read..... http://www.dallasobserver.com/2009-0...elevance/full/
Some of the quotes from people close to him painted a pretty interesting picture about his real canvas vs. that of his on-air persona....
"Stuff he'd say to us on the air he wouldn't say to us in the hall, because he's a coward," says J.D. Ryan, Martin's radio right-hand man for 25 years. "To him everything was a bit, but eventually he crossed the line. It became personal. He made it clear that being successful wasn't enough. For him to be truly happy, those around him also had to fail miserably."
"Russ is a miserable person," says Lori Miears, ex-fiancée of a former Martin show cast member. "I've seen random acts of kindness from him, but I've never met anyone that genuinely likes him. Or vice-versa. Honestly, I wouldn't want him within 30 minutes of my mother."
"Russ was an asshole on his show, but he wasn't acting," former Live 105.3 host Pugs Moran says. "In nine years working in the same building, he spoke less than 15 words to me."
And this one takes the prize....
"One night I told Russ I really cared about him as a friend," Lewis says, his voice cracking. "Soon as I said it he started using it as a weapon against me. Ours turned into an abusive relationship, because Russ has difficulty with people who care about him. His mindset is that he's got to hurt them before they hurt him first."
In the ensuing months, Martin caustically referred on the air to Lewis' wife as "the queen of double penetration." When Lewis took time off to comfort his wife in the wake of her father's death, he received a call from Martin while Lewis was inside the funeral home.
"He was pissed I didn't make time to pre-record some traffic bits," Lewis says. "He was cussing me out, calling me a 'lousy piece of shit.' It was the last straw."
But it was just the first domino.
A year after Lewis' firing in December 2003, Martin began airing the real name of Lewis' son and boasting that he hoped his former partner would commit suicide so he could become the child's father figure. While working at a comic book store in Rockwall, Lewis' 16-year-old daughter suddenly heard her private conversations read on the air by Martin. Lewis says Martin's show initially supplied incentive and a tape recorder to a co-worker at the store, a fact vehemently denied by O'Malley and Ryan.
"I got death threats from Russ' listeners because I had dared leave his precious tree house," Lewis said. "The one I'll never forget was a guy who said he was going to 'rape your daughter and then ass-fuck her until she dies'."
Sounds like a real stand-up guy, eh?

I can't say I'm really surprised...what a piece of shit, yet lots of people support his show.Originally posted by Rreemo View PostTo each his own...its obvious that some folks enjoy his show, but it's just not my flavor.

I had it on there as a tertiary option for the other 2 shows I listen to. However, I think I'm going to remove it based off the article above. To me his show is not really entertaining at all anyway. Just some background noise when other shows have commercial breaks.Originally posted by GeorgeG. View PostOriginally posted by MR EDDComment

He just got done bringing up this website again. He said something about a Plano cop telling him about his address being posted on here. He went on to say that nothing has ever came up missing and no one has bothered him but he would be happy to more or less have a confrontation in the middle of the night. I'm paraphrasing but that is the gist of it.03 cobra
