What The Hell!!!
It’s amazing that anyone gets anything done in the television industry because sometimes I think all people want to do is have meetings. I guess I should just be grateful that these people are still even interested in meeting with me. I am, actually!
I’ve had a busy day so far that started pretty early this morning and I’m feeling a little exhausted here this afternoon. Maybe that’s why I’m also a little jumpy right now as well. I just got off the phone with a friend of mine who said he heard that the guys on the morning show at 102.1 The Edge were talking trash about me again this morning on the radio. This isn’t some college radio station either, this is one of the most listened to alternative rock type stations in Toronto. What the hell!!
I’m not completely shocked because if you have been reading my last few blogs, you would know about me running into Todd from 102.1 on Saturday in Hamilton and what happened and why!
I emailed Todd yesterday and he replied to my email last night:

Hey Todd,
I was great to see you on Saturday. It was one of the highlights of my day which is what I said in my blog on the weekend.
I just wanted to let you know that I mentioned running into you in my blog so that you don't hear about it from someone else which is how I heard about you mentioning me on the radio! It sucks hearing about stuff through the grapevine which is why I'm emailing you directly!
I'm getting lots of emails from people who want me to put the footage I shot of you on Saturday on the site as well. If I decide to put the footage on my site, I'll let you know because like I mentioned already, it's shitty to hear about this kind of stuff from other people and not from the actual person who is the one talking shit.
On a more positive note, there were probably a few more people tuning into the morning show this morning to hear what you actually sounded like on the radio who up until this weekend didn't have a clue who you even were Todd!
Imagine that, people who don't have a clue who you even are Todd!
Good luck on your quest for Fame! You will need it!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Wannabe Tom Green,
If you'd like to put the video on your "blog"... well, feel free!
Good luck with that whole internet thingy you got going on for you... I'm sure everyone who's related to you are very proud!!!
While you're downloading or pleasuring yourself to "our" little video (aka: the pearl harbour attack), don't forget to listen to 102.1 the edge on-line... that way you won't have to hear from your loser fans that I'm "dissing" you On-Air. Because I have no problem in admitting that --- well, yes - I think you're a no talent hack!!!!
Good Luck!
By the way, isn't about time somebody actually shot J.R.!!
Todd Shapiro.
So like I was saying, I’m not completely shocked to hear that Todd was talking shit about me again on the radio this morning, but I would be disappointed, confused and totally shocked if the other guys on the morning show were involved in this unprovoked bashing of JR DIGS that apparently happened on the radio this morning.
The Dean Blundell Show is the name of the morning show on 102.1 The Edge, so obviously it’s Dean’s show. He is the first guy to ever get me on the radio and he invited me on his show several times. It was always a lot of fun, he seemed to like the energy I brought to his show and I’ve appreciated his support all these years. Whenever I have run into Dean or Jason, who is the other very talented and funny guy on the morning show. I have always got the sense that they genuinely liked me and thought my show was pretty funny for a low budget little Canadian-made TV show! Especially because of how I got the show on the air in the first place and that I continued doing everything myself all these years.
So like I was saying, I would be shocked to hear that those guys were bashing me on the radio! Todd seems different than they are. He’s always wearing these rock star sunglasses and he seems like the kind of guy who is friendly to your face, but talks about you when you’re not around. We all know people like that, right?
So let me try and find out for sure what was said about me this morning. It was probably just Todd ripping on me a little because I kind of confronted him on Saturday.
You can’t go through your entire life turning the other cheek and being all cool with people that you know aren’t treating you as good as they want you to think they are! I can’t, anyway! No way!
Stay tuned…
