The Truth About "OutofService" & Lip Service Radio Revealed (Chapter 9)

Chapter 9

SPEAK NOW OR FOREVER HOLD YOUR PEACE:

I contacted the host a couple of days after the initial conference call that took place with both King Mac & PB to give her heads up on the idea and to inquire how she felt about it. To no surprise, her and Paperboy had already spoke briefly about the idea during one of their personal conversations. The two of them spoke frequently offline. Sadly enough, I could never get her to contact me to discuss plans for future segments, guest speakers, etc. At any rate, I asked her to share her thoughts and also asked that she be completely honest with me when stating how she felt about giving both King Mac & PB their own night along with Sukari & Amanda (Papergirl). It was expressed that if she wasn’t cool with the idea then we could leave the show as is however a format was desperatley needed. The show was becoming very mundane.

It's no secret that King Mac, PB, Amanda & Sukari made a huge contribution to the show therefore giving all of them their own night would only compliment "OutofService". Together, King Mac, PB, Amanda and Sukari are BTR's untouchables. After covering the details about what was soon to become “Knockout Tuesday” she immediately expressed being “ok” with the idea however, made it very clear to me that she didn’t trust King Mac & PB with the password to manage the switchboard. I suggested that one of us control the switchboard for them afterall, we were a team and we would still be on the show along with them; they were only to host & produce their own topics but it was ultimately a team effort. Contrary to popular belief, it was equally agreed that Tuesday nights would be granted to the other team members.

From that point on there were several conference calls made to plan, brainstorm and discuss future segments and potential guest. For whatever reason, the host failed to attend most of these conference calls. It should be noted that other than the initial conference call, none of the calls moving forward from this point on took place late afternoon but rather late nights. At any rate, she had clearly agreed to give King Mac & PB a night being Tuesdays nights.

During one of our conference calls in preparation of how we would announce “Knockout Tuesday” and the new “official” team members PB suggested that we stage a “TAKE OVER”. Being that he & the host successfully took over “The King Mac Show” he wanted to duplicate the act. We all discussed it and agreed, however I recommended that it be a friendly take over and out of respect giving credit where credit was due we would announce granting them “Knockout Tuesday”. The host was very much in agreement with the idea of King Mac & PB staging taking over her show. We all discussed the details and agreed that we would go through with the friendly takeover show scheduled on Tuesday, January 8, 2008 then the following show on Wednesday, January 9, 2008 we would make the announcement that King Mac & PB was in fact granted their own “Knockout Tuesday” night effective immediately Tuesday January 15, 2008.

Yes, not only was the host an accomplice with PB in the “TAKE OVER” of “The King Mac Show” but she was very much involved in the take over of her very own show as well!
