Tread Perilously's Patreon request month continues with an episode of Murder, She Wrote called "We're Off to Kill the Wizard." Jessica Fletcher's quick trip to Chicago is disrupted when a local amusement park impresario invites her and her relatives to a preview of a new horror-infused theme park. But his real objective is to convince her to license her work out for a new venture. When he turns up dead, though, plenty of the people around him look good for the crime and Jessica's quick visit turns into a whole investigation as she attempts to figure out how the park owner was murdered in a locked room no one could enter or exit. Both Erik and Justin are glad to be in the cozy confines of Jessica's world. The pair are also surprised by the nature of a first season Murder, She Wrote. Sprouted potatoes become a new adversary. Justin admits he is mainlining Columbo during the week. A discussion of Blake's 7 breaks out. Justin guesses why this week's Patron chose this particular episode; it might have something to do with a certain child guest star. Erik can't unsee Burbank playing Chicago throughout the episode. Geography Corner leads to Joe Mantenga's pizza place. Guest actor George DiCenzo gets his flowers, as does Kim Darby. Fast food burger rankings are made and a wild Les Nessman appears.

What's up, dudes? When people talk about the classics of Thanksgiving television, they always talk about the WKRP in Cincinatti's "Turkeys Away" episode! My bud Vinnie Brezinsky from Huey and Bax joins me to gab--or is it gobble?--about this classic turkey drop! The station is running so smoothly that Carlson is feeling useless and left out. He pries into everyone else's projects, angering and annoying them in the process. Consequently, he decides to take matters into his own hands. He clandestinely plans a secret Thanksgiving Day publicity stunt. During disc jockey Johnny Fever's segment, on-the-scene reporter Les Nessman gives live commentary of the spectacle. Actually, debacle is the correct term, because the stunt involved Carlson and Herb throwing live turkeys into the unsuspecting crowd from a helicopter. People run from the turkey bombs just as Johnny cuts the feed. Finally, Carlson, Herb, and Les return to the station and detail the horrific affair.Based on a true story, this episode has comedy in spades! Drug references? Yep. Absurd ideas from incompetent bosses? Check. Turkeys hitting the pavement like sacks of wet cement? Definitely! So grab your microphone, hop in your chopper, and fly off into this episode about the classic WKRP Turkey Drop!Check us out on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Totally Rad Christmas Mall & Arcade, Teepublic.com, or TotallyRadChristmas.com! Later, dudes!

Well, we've been gone for two months but we're back! And if you thought that this stupid comic strip wasn't still stupid, boy, are you in for a rude awakening! All the same old shit is still there: turtlenecks, Dutch angles, references to starlets of the '30s and '40s, no backgrounds, the McEldowney ellipsis! Oh, how did we survive all these weeks without these? Anyway, this stupid storyline is about Juliette and her boyfriend Elliott, whom everyone hates. (Including us!) One version of this story would be to say that he shows up to propose to her and ends up in the hospital. But it's all so fucking convoluted and the story changes with each new development. At first, Juliette is pretty confident that Elliott might pop the question, but she's not certain, so she wears a sexy dress to help him "pop." But later we discover that he proposes to her on a weekly basis. Then, we find out that the minute Elliott walked through the door, he inhaled a cough drop and needed medical attention. But later, we're told that he didn't inhale the cough drop until after she said yes. But even later, we're told that her dress caused him to have "an episode." And a doctor tells us that he inhaled a cough drop but then had an arrhythmia. Anyway, none of it makes any sense, especially the part where Elliott ends up in the ICU for more than a day. To confuse things even more, Brooke and Jeff talk about the ICU like it's the Emergency Room. But then again, that seems to be interchangeable with Brooke Mac-El-Dee as well. Later, a cat motorboats Juliette's boobs. And in the end, no one really gives a shit about what happened to Elliott because they're too busy talking about Juliette's dress. Spoiler alert: She's the sexiest person in the ICU and she loves it! The Chickweed strips we discuss this episode: Edda and Juliette mention Jean Harlow, Juliette promises to make Elliott "pop," Elliott chokes on his cough drop, and a doctor stares at Juliette's boobs are here (https://x.com/9chickweedRAGE/status/1710366406557220951?s=20). The "lethal, shrink-wrap, halter-top gown," Edda getting mad because her gay roommate thinks her mom is sexier, and Juliette looking hot (and enjoying it) in the ICU are here (https://x.com/9chickweedRAGE/status/1710366408151056421?s=20). A cat motorboats Juliette's boobs, Amos talks about his fetid corpse, and Elliott somehow on his deathbed are here (https://x.com/9chickweedRAGE/status/1710366410550190305?s=20).

We're gearing up for Thanksgiving by discussing one of the most well-known and well-regarded Thanksgiving-themed television episodes ever: WKRP in Cincinnati's "Turkeys Away." We break down the infamous episode and explore what still works after 40 years (chief among them is Richard Sanders's performance as Les Nessman). We also discover an intriguing necktie variation that was apparently invented by a ghost. Happy Thanksgiving! 

The Halloween Edition. We start with Les Nessman's news, go to the broadcast cemetery with Mike's tombstone and Who You Gonna Call? - Susan, aka Cougar, of course!

"WKRP in Cincinnati" premiered this week in 1978 on CBS-TV, airing for four seasons and 90 episodes. My late friend Terry Moore sat down with Gordon and his wife Anna in 1981 for this CKNW interview. The show, created by Hugh Wilson, featured the staff of a struggling radio station and was based on his experiences in sales at WQXI/Atlanta. New program director Andy Travis switches WKRP's format from easy-listening music to rock with help from deejays Dr. Johnny Fever and Venus Flytrap, station manager Arthur Carlson, sales manager Herb Tarlek, news director Les Nessman, receptionist Jennifer Marlowe and producer Bailey Quarters. Gordon reflects on his broadcast background and the inspiration for his character; the strengths of the show's cast; the advantages of syndication; he and Anna discuss how success has changed their lives; the truth behind Hollywood's "Tinseltown" myth; the importance of good management; and how they spend their free time. Arthur "Big Guy" Carlson was Gordon's signature role, and he starred in a short-lived revival of the show, "The New WKRP in Cincinnati" which ran in syndication from 1991 to 1993. He also appeared in the final season of Seinfeld, in which he played George Costanza's boss at a playground equipment company. You probably also remember when he took over the Maytag repairman role from Jesse White. Gordon Jump died at his home in Glendale, CA on September 22, 2003. He was 71.

On this episode of the Post Podcast Grow Hays executive director Doug Williams shares updates on their Microfactory project.   Transcript: EDITORS NOTE: Transcripts are provided by an automated service and are not verified for accuracy.   James Bell  The microfactory project continues to develop in Hays Grow Hays, Executive Director Doug Williams that stops by to share the latest on this episode of the Post Podcast.   Grow Hays executive director Doug Williams  This all started a few years ago with a group out of Manhattan called the technology development institute, Division of Kansas State University that focuses on manufacturing. And they put together a grant request for 10 locations across Kansas, that would be micro factories. And what those are basically incubators for manufacturers to start in, grow in and then move out that grant application was not successful. And so when the base grant became available in Kansas to build a stronger economy, I believe is what base stands for. We applied with that same concept for a 30,000 square foot structure, that would be an incubator for manufacturing companies. And we were successful in acquiring a $2.63 million grant for the construction of that facility. Since that time, we have received a donation of land from Heart of America Development Corporation at the corner of ninth and commerce Parkway, which is the lat directly between Glassman Corporation and the Army Reserve center on commerce Parkway. And that's where this facility is going to be constructed. We've also engaged a local contractor, commercial builders to assist us in building the structure. And we're working with an architect out of Manhattan on the preliminary plans and trying to get all the specifications and that kind of thing together. Essentially, it'll be a 30,000 square foot building built to it'll be manufacturer friendly, you know, high ceilings and accessible areas, capable electrical loads, and all the things that manufacturers might need to start their business and grow their business.   James Bell  Very cool. Very cool. So, you know, I was wondering if that launch day, I know this can sometimes generate some conversations and some questions. Did you have any good input or questions about the project there?   Grow Hays executive director Doug Williams  Well, I think that the first question everybody asks, well, who's going to go in there, and we don't have anybody specifically that we have committed to go in there, you know, we have a couple of prospects. Interestingly enough, the last Friday, when I wasn't here for our session, I was actually in Manhattan with at a meeting with the architectural firm, as well as the technology development institute. And they indicated to us that this is a relatively new concept and kind of the eyes of Kansas are upon us on this, a lot of people are watching this process and are going to be very interested on how this works. Because if it does, they want to replicate this in a number of other places across Kansas. The other thing they said, which was very encouraging to me, was that a lot of manufacturers, this is a big struggle for them finding a facility that's friendly to what they need, and a lot of may be willing to relocate to a community like Hayes, if we had the right facility for them. So that was encouraging. And a, they don't think we're going to have any trouble at all filling the space, their concern is that we're going to have to be fairly selective as to who we let go in there. Because the whole concept is, you want a company that's going to start in there and grow. But in a three, maybe four year period of time, they're going to outgrow it and need their own facility. And, you know, their concern is don't put people in there that are going to put down roots and want to be there for 20 years, because that's not the intent of this facility. So that's going to be a challenge for us. But one of the one of the benefits is that they're going to be in there at about half or less of what it would cost them to be in their own facility. Not to mention, a lot of the value adds that we're going to bring to them, which is some support from people like the technology development institute, the technology department at Fort Hays State, the SBDC and helping them develop business plans and, and all the things that go along with owning and operating a business aside from just space space is part of it, but there's a lot more to it than that.   James Bell  Yeah, absolutely. Do you know, you know, off the top of your head, like how much you might be able to cut down a business's, you know, startup funds with a project like this?   Grow Hays executive director Doug Williams  Well, if you just take a 30,000 square foot building and you divide it by five tenants, that's 6000 square feet per tenant. If a if a business was going to go out and build a 6000 square foot facility, they could spend upwards of a million dollars doing so. So that's one thing they don't have to do in terms and to build it. Manufacturer friendly. You know, cost more money than that. We're going to try and have some common areas like loading dock and some things like that that will help if Five businesses can use it instead of one. You know, that's we're spread out over five people. So it, it's a large reduction in what they would have to spend normally to get into business for sure.   James Bell  Excellent. You know, yeah, no, it's a manufacturing industrial. And that's a little different, a little new, as you say. But it, you know, it strikes me as the same kind of model as what we've seen in co working spaces, just like you did your very own brief space.   Grow Hays executive director Doug Williams  It is similar to I mean, it is an incubator for businesses, just different types of businesses. And one of the things I talked about at the quarterly luncheon is that, that our community has traditionally been a white collar community, you know, we have the university, we have the hospital, we have USD 489, those are the three largest employers in the county. And those are primarily white collar jobs. We don't have a lot of manufacturing in our community, we have some certainly, but we don't have a lot. Part of that is because of the long standing challenges we have with water. In our community. Today, it would be there are certain manufacturers of certain types of businesses that we can't handle because of water. But we also have workforce problems. And one of the things the the microfactory allows with small manufacturers, as these people can grow incrementally. And it's not like somebody's coming to town and they need 200 employees, day one, they may need three or four or five, day one, they grow over time. And we can we can help them with the workforce grow incrementally instead of all at once. And that that I think is going to be very positive for our community because we just, we just aren't in a position right now to recruit a large employer, we just don't have the the employees to do it. And we're not alone with that lots of places are in that same situation. But certainly this is a better way to approach it.   James Bell  Yeah, and I gotta believe that doing it this way, you maybe doesn't save a lot of money. But it eliminates some of that risk. I think about a few years ago, Brian, Brian, after a right before the pandemic kind of kicked off, there was a business trying to move into Russell. And I don't remember the exact figures, but I think they got about a million dollars in economic stimulus money to help start that up. But because it was an expensive proposition they moved in. But they found that really, it didn't work. But that wasn't until after they had spent all that money and they tried to get there when they're like, this isn't going to be feasible. And if they had a facility like this, they could have maybe saved a lot of them funds,   Grow Hays executive director Doug Williams  I would think so yes, that was an unfortunate startup that didn't work out and a lot of money was invested in lost by the community. This, this is a different approach, this does start much smaller. And we don't know how the building might be sliced and diced, there might be one needs 10,000 square feet, there might be three others that need 5000, and then one that needs to that 2500. You know, we we don't know for sure. But we're going to have that flexibility. And it absolutely decreases the risk of all the people involved not only the business, but also us. At the end of the day, if all else fails, we're gonna have a 30,000 square foot facility that somebody can use and has value. So this is significant, the construction process will be good for the community in terms of employing people for the construction process materials purchased, all of those things will will be very positive locally. Very cool.   James Bell  So I'm curious that, you know, it's been a while since we've had any updates on this. You know, I think the last time we talked you were still trying to find a little bit more money to get this thing finished off or getting it off the ground. I guess maybe it was a better way to say it. I wonder if you want to share any updates there.   Grow Hays executive director Doug Williams  As far as how we're going to pay for it?   James Bell  Yeah, there was a little there's a little bit of money left, right, because you got the big grant and the land grant. But now   Grow Hays executive director Doug Williams  we we anticipate a $3.5 million cost. And the base grant provided $2.6 million. The land donation was $275,000. So there's still a shortfall there. We have applied for some other grants, we haven't gotten a couple of them, but we're still applying for others. At the end of the day, we're either going to have to borrow the money and pay it back over time is probably what we would do. We will have revenue from the building from rents, they're going to pay as I said, they're going to be paying about half what they would normally pay but there is going to be rent coming in from that. And we're going to continue to look for other grants and other sources of financing to help pay for it. But worst case scenario we've we've got to it's a good thing. We have a lot of local banks that are willing to lend money on good projects and and we'll we'll borrow the balance if we have to.   James Bell  Absolutely and long term planning you do foresee this as being an not to money maker, but at least revenue neutral, right?   Grow Hays executive director Doug Williams  Absolutely. We it needs to pay for itself. And we need to pay for the operation of it and that type of thing. And the goal here and one of the reasons why Heart of America was willing to donate the $275,000 lot is because they own the 72 acres To the east of this current development, and they are in the business to promote commercial development in our community. And that's exactly where we would like the people that graduate from our microfactory to need facilities and wool will put in a facility for them where they can build their own, to the east there and some of that hard American land and, and this process just continues itself over and over again. That's the goal. That's what we hope happens.   James Bell  Very cool. I'm wondering, is there any updates on like, the timeline, the construction efforts? The is the building going up? I don't think anything started yet is it not started   Grow Hays executive director Doug Williams  yet. Still Still working on the actual specific blueprints and plans. I am optimistic for a lates, I'd say a false start. And we got two years from the date this grant is, from the day we signed the grant agreement, which should be in the next two weeks, we got two years to get this project done. That would seem like more than enough time, but things come up, you know, in this day and age of supply chain issues and that kind of thing. There's lots of challenges there. But we hope to start probably in the fall and hope to complete it. Nine months or so later. So some time about this time next year, I'd love to be talking about our grand opening and that type of thing. So very cool. That's our plan.   James Bell  Now the city infrastructure is in that lot already. Right? The water, sewer, all that.   Grow Hays executive director Doug Williams  It is, that's one of the fortunate things is at Heart of America a number of years ago, put in the street, they put in the water, the sewer, electrical, gas, all of those kinds of things are there. That lot is in the economic development business, we call that shovel ready, which means it's ready for somebody to come in and and start doing some things. So that's another very positive aspect of it.   James Bell  Okay, you know, I'm curious, what other feedback did you receive about this facility at   Grow Hays executive director Doug Williams  the launch? And, you know, there's, there's lots of questions as to what's it going to look like? And how's it going to be? What's going to be inside? And how are you going to handle things, and some of that's still up in the air. And one of the things they that surprised me was the group of TDI said they don't anticipate there being necessarily any walls in there to separate one group from another. And that kind of, I'm having a little trouble wrapping my head around that. But they said, you just do the Les Nessman tape on the floor. And this is your space. And it does allow for if you've got larger material pieces or that type of thing, you aren't confined by wall spaces by getting it moved around and whatnot. So I don't know how that's going to work. That's that's that that was, like I said, I'm having trouble getting my head around exactly how that would work. In my mind, I had, you know, six different individual spaces with walls between them, each having an overhead door and that kind of thing. And that's not necessarily how this will be. So we're, we're working through some of that kind of thing. That's why we want to get it right on the front end, spend a little time on the planning side of things. So that we don't have to make a lot alterations later.   James Bell  Yeah, I mean, I can see that I can see like an error of kind of collaboration to you know, when you guys get to tinker into things and try to figure out problems where hey, maybe come over here and look at this. And then the next week he's helping with the other project   Grow Hays executive director Doug Williams  sure could be an end, a lot of this equipment that they put in there are very expensive and different types of manufacturing processes, CNC machines that are computer operated and they they do cutting and plasma cutters and that kind of thing. In the end. I just, I just hadn't quite visualized it that way. So it's going to be interesting to see how it develops. But the one thing they said down there, they said manufacturers are creative and they're resourceful. They're resilient. And they can he said to you wouldn't believe some of the facilities we have customers and operating out of he said this will be so much better than what they're trying to do. Because a lot of time it's it's in the guy's garage or a shop out back or just some space he can find someplace but certainly not conducive, and as efficient as it might be. If it was designed up front for that specific purpose. Sure.   James Bell  Well, Doug, we've got just about a minute left. Anything else you want to hit on about this microfactory project before we   Grow Hays executive director Doug Williams  go, I think just keep keep your eyes open. We're I was gonna go out and put a sign up on the on the lot, but it's a ways away from the street. I'm not sure anybody could see it if I put it up. But it's, it's between Glassman and the Army Reserve center on Ninth Street. And just keep watching. We'll keep everybody posted either on our website or on our weekly show with you as to what's going on or a Facebook page. And it's going to be exciting.

WELCOME BACK!Sometimes you can't tell the heartbreakers. We know Les Nessman is a hard-driving newsman who's only in it for the story. He never tracked down a lead because he thought it might impress the ladies. His dedication to his work has impressed at least one lady. Her name is Darlene, and she has a crushing crush on our favorite intrepid reporter. Be careful Les, Darlene has the crazy eyes! She's ready to move in after their first date! Within a week, she's befriended the cranky old neighbor lady. She even likes Phil!! Who's Phil? Oh, man...you'd better get some protection!!Les needs his space! He's a lone wolf whose den doesn't need pink pillows and cosmic posters. Les would throw her out...if she'd just stop kissing him! What would Walter Cronkite say? What is Art Carlson going to say? Crooning newsmen mooning over a dame are more than Art can handle. Push 'play' and open a window...it's about to get all steamy in here. WATCH ALONG DETAILS...[Want to watch along with us?

WELCOME BACK! The entire news department at WKRP consists of a single man: Les Nessman. Truly, he is a paragon among men, a news stalwart who lets nothing deter him from delivering ten brilliant casts a day. Andy thinks it's time to shake things up a bit in the news area...against Les' wishes, and better judgement. They're reviewing audition tapes when a familiar voice comes through the speakers. Bailey Quarters has slipped her own entry into the stack, and Andy thinks having Bailey on the air would be a great idea! Les keeps pushing back, but to no avail. The new cub takes to the airwaves...er, at least she SHOULD be taking to the airwaves. Nessman doesn't think she's ready...then again, Nessman would be keeping Walter Cronkite on typewriter ribbon duty if it meant giving up a precious second of his airtime. Oil, schmoil...you'd better push "play" because it's almost time for the Swim Meeting.   WATCH ALONG DETAILS...[Want to watch along with us? It's a blast!!

Resby Coutts is a real life Les Nessman. Farm reporting was the primary job but having been a member of the Murray Nye team that lost the final of the 1981 Manitoba Tankard, curling was added to his radio duties. Resby shares how starting early at a one sheet club sparked a lifetime in the roaring game. We cover his playing years, the Brandon "Olympic" Trials, the story behind the first Brier and many other tales of Manitoba curling history. Resby is helping to fund the Manitoba Curling Hall of Fame.

Some might scoff at the notion of an agricultural network, conjuring up images of WKRP in Cincinnati character Les Nessman doing a hog report, or perhaps the golden age of radio in the 1930s.Yet, in-depth and accurate farm news remains vitally important to a large segment of the nation. Why did Cherry Creek Radio embark on an effort to offer this programming to radio listeners, one that now involves sales representation by Gen Media Partners and J.L. Farmakis?Glenn Vaagen, the Program Director for the Pacific Northwest Ag Network, offers great insight into the continued value of ag programming in Idaho, Washington and Oregon in this RBR+TVBR InFOCUS Podcast, presented by Dot.FM.He even touches on the subject of marijuana, and how it fits in to agricultural business news and advertising opportunities!
