Radio Resurrected The Radio Star

You don’t live in the Houston area? Then you missed the greatest radio interview since Phil Hendrie got restaurateur Ted Bell to admit that he resells partially eaten entrees after sterilizing them in a food irradiator.

Last week, Greg promoted the book with Sean “The Cablinasian” Pendergast and John Harris on Houston’s KGOW, a/k/a The Game 1560. (FYI, they’ve dropped a collective 110 pounds or so since that picture was taken.) Sean & John operate that rarest type of radio show- voiced by intelligent hosts, and featuring zero fake laughter. If someone’s joke doesn’t hit, it dies. If something funny happens, sinuses in the studio go volcanic.

Although their show is a sports show, we managed to discuss the book (also available at BN.com!) for half an hour while getting some hilarious feedback on Twitter. (Another great thing about Sean & John’s show. Minimal phone calls.)

Anyhow, the PG-rated interview. If you want to know why the book is so vital, and understand the sometimes-unorthodox philosophy behind it, listen here (part 1) and here.

Book Tour Update

Around 3:30 CDT Monday afternoon, Greg will be on KGOW 1560 (nobody calls it by the call letters, it’s “1560 The Game”) with Sean & John. Sean is Sean Pendergast, a/k/a “The Cablinasian”, the 5-time winner of The Jim Rome Show Smack-Off and by extension the greatest caller in the history of radio. He made the seamless transition to hosting a couple of years ago, and has one of the few sports radio shows that isn’t boring and repetitive. No fake laughter, either. The listen live link is on this page.

Then at 4:30, join Greg as he signs copies of Control Your Cash at Jake’s Philly Steaks & Sports Bar, a proud sponsor of The Sean & John Show and a wonderfully accommodating restaurant that’s granted us an opportunity to meet with you folks, and introduce Houstonians to the sheer unbridled thrills and excitement of learning about personal finance. Jake’s is at 2944 Chimney Rock, between Westheimer and Richmond. Can’t imagine why you’d need their number, but it’s (713) 781-1962. Stop by, stay hi, bring cash or a credit card and we’ll see you TODAY – Monday June 21.
