Radio personality shot at in his vehicle in Indianapolis, 'lucky to be alive'

[Skullglide]

Love triangle with Patty Ferguson and Randy.

 

[The Bubba Effect]

If he was hit from the side and then the front as they passed by him, i bet there is a good chance that it was over by the time he made any decisions or actions that mattered.



Big gun, little gun, skinny pedal, sitting stationary, might all be non factors in this situation.

It's still a thing, but Bob retired years ago and it's well passed it's prime. It's so commercial heavy I can't listen to it any longer. Broadcast radio sucks these days anyway as far as content to commercials, but even during the show there is a ton of paid advertising done live by the personalities and skits that are just little commercials. Kristi pretends to get hurt so they can recommend an employment injury lawyer sort of thing

I don't think there is any story, publicly, on motive yet. I don't know anything about the case, so I'm calling "lover's triangle" in the betting pool.

Would guess it may be a the top of the list, time may tell

 

[BluePig]

My bet it was a bad boat deal...

 

[actaeon277]

How many here are carrying trauma IFAKs?

I have an ankle kit med kit, but admittedly, I don't wear it everyday.

You know, when you need it, that will be the day you left it at home.

If my pants and shoes go on, then the ankle kit goes on.

Ehhhh, how many kickstands in the triangle?...

 

[BiscuitsandGravy]

I could never get past the incessant cackling laughter. Made even the funniest bits annoying to listen to.

And half the time what we were hearing wasn’t nearly that funny. It felt like we were missing most of the bit due to visuals or they were just (over)easily amused.

Same here. Tuned those guys out a lloonngg time ago. Didn't even know Bob retired until this thread.

I want to thank BBI for the insight provided in this thread. Much to soak in and re-think about a driving situation that I personally never considered.

 

[grillak]

the meaty bits

lmao

Just to review: maintain SA, be ready to get the hell out of Dodge if needed.

Or use Dodge to get away.

Guess he should’ve have gone to “discount karate!”

Maybe someone was upset with the last “turdles” album!

I bet someone was trying to steal his “zubas…they’re like a crockpot for your pork!”

I could go on with all these old school bob and tom jokes!

And would never be funny…

To their credit, they did have some funny stuff. Mr Obvious had some funny bits. As well as the Love Brothers.
But never as funny as their constant cackling would imply.

 

[oze]

Don’t guess I’ve ever heard of this guy. What is it he’s being targeted for, I wonder?

From the linked story:

After he left, Sexton said he was attacked. He claims the attacker was his girlfriend's ex.
"After leaving there, he just drove up right to my driver side ... and I recognized him. There's no doubt who I saw. I know who it is," Sexton told 13News.

I was listening when B&T came on the air. Back then had a lot of windshield time in central Indiana, listened every day and so did most of my customers. They had some funny stuff back then but mostly were breaking norms and getting into fights with the FCC and local authorities, and of course cackling.

I was listening the day they were booted out of the Speedway when a wet t-shirt contest went nude, the last thing I recall said was Jay Baker “and she took it all off”. Then a squeaky intern said we are back at the studio and have lost connection to the track. Tony George banned Q95 from the track for that. Any of you there for that?

From the linked story:

I had guessed it might be something like that. He had his Dickens Cider in the wrong place…

 

[littletommy]

There was a guy back in the 70s and 80s on Louisville radio, Ron Clay, now THAT guy was funny! I wasn’t aware of Bob and Tom back then, but I’ve always considered them to be cheap imitations of ol’ uncle Ron.

Nailed it.

I know I've had gfs with angry anti-social ex-bfs.

One decided to make threats on FB. I guess the gun pics didn't intimidate him. Probably the cost of gas deterred him.

Another that threatened my life and a nurses, right in front of hospital security.
Judge released him as he "must have been stressed".
