Sports Radio Caller Uses Racial Slur

[Ben E Lou]

The Two Live Stews just missed hitting the "dump" button after a caller referred to Hawks' GM Billy Knight as "a spook."

Billy Knight was in the CIA?

huh... I'll be damned..

[JeeberD]

It's sports talk radio, SD, what do you expect? I really doubt this is an isolated case of idiocy...

[Ben E Lou]

Oh, it was just hilariously funny the way they responded to him. I've never heard one slip through the delay button before this one, either.

This reminds me of the time my roommate and I were watching a Sports Talk Show on Fox Sports Pittsburgh. The two hosts are Stan Savern and Guy Junker, and whenever someone new calls they always say "Stan, Guy love the show. First time caller, long time listener." Well a week before the show we watched Guy Junker got arrested for trying to pick up a prostitute so here is how the call progressed...

Caller: Stan, Guy love the show. First time caller, long time listener

Stan: Glad you could get through what is your question.

Caller: When is the next time you and Guy will get Oral Sex from either a prostitute or give it to each other.

Stan: Not this week, maybe next week. Next caller.

I was in shock that FSP would let that go through but it remains one of the funniest slip ups I have ever heard on TV.

So two sports radio guys whose on-air title is a spoof on Two Live Jews got a caller who referred to someone as a spook? Who'd a thunk it?

After the Mavs lost game six to the Suns one of the local TV stations was interviewing Mark Cuban about the game and asked him how it felt to lose to Steve nash. Cuban replied with:

"You know, I would really rather lose to a guy that I like and respect than some asshole."

Made me smile, and the TV guys had to apologize for the on-air profanity... :)

I maybe stupid, or ignorant...probably both....but what is a spook.....what does it mean, what was the person saying when he said Billy Knight was a spook?

Black.

[JeeberD]

Spook = derogatory name for a black person

I'm not sure of the origin of the term, though, since ghosts are usually said to be white.

EDIT: I just googled Two Live Jews. Their album? "As Kosher As They Wanna Be." Everybody wants to bite off of Luther Campbell, it would seem. :D

Banned in the U-S-A!

[Ben E Lou]

Banned in the U-S-A! Man, that's new school 2 Live Crew. I remember being in high school and hearing such creative classics as "Tho That Dick" and "Hey, We Want Some Pussy" were released.

Ahh....i didnt even realize Billy Knight was black....someone says Billy Knight, I think GM, Atlanta Hawks...thats it.......never heard that term either, is it possible the hosts didnt know what it meant either?

[Ksyrup]

Never heard of Two Live Jews?

Oy, it's so humid
It's like a sauna in here!

[Ben E Lou]

Ahh....i didnt even realize Billy Knight was black....someone says Billy Knight, I think GM, Atlanta Hawks...thats it.......never heard that term either, is it possible the hosts didnt know what it meant either?Oh, they knew what it meant all right. Both of them, along with the producer, are black. All three were so stunned that he said it that they thought he'd said something else. ("No, he didn't say that. Naw, I didn't hear that... WAIT A MINUTE...WHAT DID YOU SAY?????")

[Ben E Lou]

Never heard of Two Live Jews?Not before this thread. It looks like they released their albums in the early 90's. They didn't get much publicity in the A.T.L. at the time of NWA, Public Enemy, Dre, Easy, and don't forget that Arrested Development came from Atlanta during that time, too.

Song ideas for Things I Know For Sure, Vol. 2:

* American Idol voters are idiots and the singers ain't all that either
* Salute to Two Live Jews

In SkyDog's defense, I WISH I didn't know about the existence of Two Live Jews.

Um...they were a joke group. Two white jewish guys. The lyrics I quoted were from their spoof on Me So Horny. I wouldn't expect them to get much play in a rotation with NWA, Pubic Enema, Dre, How Much For One Rib?, or anyone else.

I was in South Florida at the time, so you can probably understand how I heard of them.

I've got a band in Music Maven entitled "The Sell-Outs," and that title does not mean that their records sell out, necessarily. No, it refers to how they are complete sell-outs and have no musical integrity whatsoever; they just want to make a buck. One of their songs is entitled "Music That People Will Buy." So now, in real life, I'm in the process of writing an acoustic "funny" song by that same title. The song is intended to be played at acoustic venues/open mic nights, etc., and it is basically a humorous look at why acoustic artists can truly never make it big. ("We don't make music that people will buy/We'd rather make girls in bell bottoms cry..." You get the idea...)

There were some better choices, but I'm still new enough to not be sure exactly what is box-worthy.
