Kidd Chris Fired; B-Day At Whiskey Tango!
![]() |
The song, a parody of Blondie's "Call Me," was titled "Schwoogies" -- a Yiddish word meaning "shadows," used as racist slang for black people like 800 years ago. The artist who did it is Lady Gash, who this blog describes as "THE Premier female song parody artist in all of radio and is one of the best in radio male or female, bar none." She also apparently did the "Schwoogies" song with Suge Knight White.
Also, look, here's a response to another question on that blog about a song parody contest or something:
My entry is no SCHWOOGIEs since another racist song would not fit the rules of the contest and since there are no darkies on the staff. Who am i going to go after next... the Jews?
Pfft, yeah, no more racist songs, Lady Gash. Anyway, Kidd Chris was supposed to have his birthday party at freaking Whiskey Tango in the Far, Far Northeast, which is pretty much the funniest part of this whole story.

Suge Knight? You sure you got that name right?
Posted by: DD's Dirt Hole at May 16, 2008 06:44 PM
This is the worst thing that ever happened to Philly radio.
People who take song parodies serious (like the one by Lady Gash) are morons. Black people call in to the show all the time & are friends of the show.
I hope YSP realizes they have lost all of their listeners.
All hail Kidd Chris!

Between pissing people off from firing Kidd, cancelling the birthday bash, and Preston and Steve already having huge (and undeserved) popularity....YSP will never recover!

Kidd Chris is genius... Now what is Philly supposed to listen to??? Preston and Steve??? What the hell is this world coming to. Lighten up, people!
Posted by: heather at May 16, 2008 09:45 PM
Buy Sirius... XM's selling out to Sirius, and Stern is absolutely picking up Foley. What a birthday present!
Posted by: Tech at May 16, 2008 09:57 PM
Ha! Chris gets paid for 3 more years and he doesn't have to work. Wonder who's the stupid party here? If you morally upright faggots think he ever gave one crap about being on the air you didn't listen to what he always was saying. Money is the name of the game.

Hey, Levy's comedy club is also in the far far northeast...and that's funnier than whatever you find funny about the Whiskey Tango party.
I hope you drown in a bucket of man chum.

repeat after me:

say it loud and long.....

All you fem guys (Gadzooks!) can keep listening to Preston & Steve with the soccer moms and secretaries driving to work. I just hope Chris catches on with another station in Philly.
Posted by: PhillyKidd at May 17, 2008 10:52 AM
Chris Foley is a simple minded idiot--CBS is a numb nut company--Free-FM (the nationwide format used all over the country and among other idiotic initiatives) is a testimony to that--Dan Mason ain't Einstein either--Free-FM was Hollander's brilliant move...but to this debacle--this show is for those with an IQ of no more than 50. To defend this type of material shows that. And you can bank on this--Foley WILL NOT be paid for the term of his contract. This is a violation of various clauses. Foley is unemployable. CBS and Sabean and Cook should have known that...people like these almost make Clear Channel look like broadcasters--almost...oh and Mason might as well retire while we're on the need for people to go...
Posted by: deek at May 17, 2008 10:59 AM
That show was unlistenable anyway....Between his forced laughter and stupid B list guests..The only funny thing about his show was that he actually thought he would take over the Number 1 spot..His ratings sucked. His fans are dirtbags with low iq's...He'd be better off getting a show in West Virginia..... Later Loser....

O&A always win in the end
Posted by: dave at May 17, 2008 06:19 PM
It is unbelievable that he got tossed almost twomonths after the incident. I have been a fan of his for some time and feel that CBS has really shit the bed on this one. I think back on the story of the ny mets letting Nolan Ryan go because they said he had great stuff but couldn't throw strikes. That's all Kidd chris did was display a level of talent that surpassed anything even comparable. He made something out of nothing and learned how to tip toe around the china shop and still managed to be hilarious. I would pay money to Sirius to listen to Kidd chris even though I think the show may lose something if it is uncencored. Preston and steve musth have been listening to podcasts to try to bury chris and managed to do it. Props to bob levy for hosting the birthday show and having some heart. CBS could use a heart and a penis for that matter as it is very obvious that their ovaries got the best of them on this one.
Posted by: tom at May 18, 2008 04:05 AM
The ironic thing is they had the Kidd Chris Survivor and people were voting on who to fire the day of the birthday party. After all that voting everyone pretty much ended up getting fired...
Posted by: Dan at May 18, 2008 01:03 PM
You can still hear the song by going to NBC10.com of all places!!! click on the story in the entertainment section, then click on John Cook's name, it then gives you links to 5 stories, two of which have to do with chris -click the lower story, the it will give you the option to listen to the song!!!! GOLD!!! DIE KIDD SHOW HATERS!!!!

I hope the Black Men and Women fighting in Iraq see and hear what white america thinks about them and bring their butts home safe and let Chris Foley and the "likes" of him fin for theirselves.
Posted by: steve at May 18, 2008 05:06 PM
They replace him with O&A and don't get me wrong, they are a good show but for what they are trying to accomplish it is like they are saying man this guy is a real tyrant and we can't trust him with anybody so let's replace him with this guy Adolf. Very backwards logic here.
Posted by: tom at May 18, 2008 06:35 PM
Kidd Chris fans really suck at writing and not double posting all of their comments.
Posted by: wow at May 18, 2008 11:40 PM
well. I only lived in philly for a year, and I'm not gonna lie... I found Kidd Chris to not only have a lame name, but he was extremely annoying to listen to.
Not like my opinion matters or anything...
DMAC, BLOG LOVE!
Posted by: shaikens at May 18, 2008 11:56 PM
I double posted because the post didn't go through the first time. It took a couple of tries, probably like some of the humor on the Kidd Chris show took a while for you to get it you retard. That's probably why you didn't like it. Any of those who are actually for this firing,imagine getting a threat from management saying "You better not do anything offensive today, because if you do, you're out of here in 3 months" Although at your job your management probably consists of some whale telling you to when to pull the chicken up from the deep fryer.
Posted by: tom at May 19, 2008 12:32 AM
whatev tom. I don't even remember him that much. just that he annoyed me. THE REGULAR GUYS are the best offensive radio show in the world. by the way.

If Kidd Chris is gone for good then BRING BARSKY BACK!
Posted by: FourHourClubber at May 19, 2008 04:19 PM
I was forced to listen to Preston and Steve today at work, because Kidd Chris was not on the air. (My boss' decision about the radio). For those of you saying that Kidd Chris sucked anyway, I truly hope you are not P and S fans. That show sucks huge monkey balls. Talk about SAFE, BORING radio. Preston blows, Steve is absolutely not funny, Casey Boy sounds like a faggot and Kathy "Small Tits" Romano, while not a bad looking woman, I still wouldn't waste a load on her face. Thank God I have Sirius in my car.........

O&A PARTY ROCK!!!!!!!!!
hopefully Foley gets picked up by a satalite.
Posted by: davefromphilly at May 19, 2008 10:17 PM
If he got picked up by Sirius I couldn't buy the service fast enough.
Posted by: Tom at May 19, 2008 10:34 PM
what do you find funny about whiskey tango?
d-mac...real original name!!
Whiskey tango is one of the biggest clubs in the city, idiot. that's why he had his parties there because it was the only place that could hold the thousands of people that show up for the event.
how many people come to your parties...none!!
i guess your like all the a-holes that praise the 1 of hundreds of place that can only hold 75-100 people....

Kidd Chris was the best thing that happened to Philadelphia mornings since Howard first came here. I look forward to listening to him when he shows up at the next place. For Chris I will actually pay for a subscription to satellite radio...and I will never listen to another CBS radio station.
The execs at CBS have no backbone and they cave to fundamentalist pressure groups. The leadership there needs to take more risks. Not all risks are good, but the good ones do lead to real rewards. If they want to win in the mornings then they need someone like Kidd Chris. That sorta reminds me of the meanings behind the symbols for the Chinese characters that make up the English work "risk". The first symbol is "danger" and the second symbol is "reward". Yes, Kidd Chris is dangerous, but he is certainly rewarding. He is the most talented DJ that I can remember.
Posted by: Money Mark at May 20, 2008 09:40 PM
Kidd Chris is god. I can't stand all the whiny black people in this country. DIE!!!!! White people are forced to accept one white joke after another from black personalities (i.e. Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, D.L. Hughly, Bernie Mack, etc.) and we do. One funny little song and you all start whining and crying like a bunch of welfare collecting sissies. Boo hoo the white boy called me a name. IT"S A JOKE JERK OFFS!!!!! Grow up. I'm so sick of hearing how everything is racist. If you ask me its a poor dying excuse for a race stricken by ignorance and a genetic inability to function like the rest of us humans. If you all couldn't use the race card anymore how would you explain all your crime?!!!!!!!! F*@!'n SCHWOOGIES!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm black and laugh at all jokes no matter what, if they're meant to be funny. If they're meant to be derogatory, that's a whole different matter. And by the way Ragu you made one good point, then the rest made you look like a pathetic little fag who belongs in a fuckin' cave.

Posted by: Brindon at May 21, 2008 09:37 PM
I have an idea!!!
Chris should come back but he should add an African American female as a sidekick (in addition to Thomas of course). That way any jokes against Schwoogies will not be considered offensive since there would be one on the show. It would be no different than jokes against against frosted-haired fags and big-header Japs. Then Chris's fans would be able to make song parody's without offending any protected class since the would all be on the payroll in one way of the other. We could call this new sidekick the "Black Hole"!

Kidd Chris will be back on Sirius. Stern has already said on more than one time that when Foley's contract ran out or he got fired that Stern had a job for him. Get yours now! Cobra lives on!
Posted by: Kidd.Chris.Will.Be.Back at May 22, 2008 02:42 PM
Okay ... I AM a soccer mom of 2 biracial girls and am definitely NOT a hater of the show. I loved listening on my morning commute -- I'm the crazy bitch driving down 276 laughing her her ass off. The a.m. show was an equal opportunity offender -- funny funny shit and ALOT of it was directed at my gender. So what --it was hilarious and I'm okay enough with myself to laugh and move on. If people are feeling a certain way because of something that was said (or sang in this instance) maybe they need to re-visit their self-esteem and get a life. It was a parody, get over it.
Posted by: shortybangg at May 25, 2008 06:52 PM
all the whiny wysp people got what they want a lame radio station. Now everyone can listen to the gay goofs on the other channel.
Posted by: Balls out baby at May 26, 2008 09:51 PM
I haven't really listened to Kidd Chris since he switched to mornings. When he was on in the afternoons I'd listen- and I will be honest- the show gets old very quickly.
When it comes to comedy- no subject is off limits, race, religion, etc. When it comes to comedy the crass and the vulgar can be funny. Does anyone remember The SIDs (sudden infant death syndrome)? This cracked me up, and I'm sure it offended some people-and it was obviously done in jest, it was low brow, crass, vulgar- I laughed thinking about a little dead baby. It wasn't serious though.
The problem I have with some racist humor- is on the level of comedy- MOST of it actually isn't that funny. It's the same jokes, with the same punchlines, being recycled over and over and over again. Seriously- jokes about Black people eating watermelon and fried chicken are like 200 yrs old. Jokes about Thomas's "fat yellow face" and "blindfolding him with dental floss" are identical to jokes invented before world war 2. These jokes aren't even creative in my opinion- and the audience made them all the time. Frankly when I listen to a radio show I am looking for variety and ingenuity. I'd listen to all the base racist humor and laugh- not at the jokes, but at how fucking simple these morons found it to amuse themselves. I'd be in my car and say to myself "what a bunch of fools,these guys are just dumbass's"-that gave me a chuckle for what it's worth.
Making fun of cripples was also a riot! why? because they don't really deserve it, Making fun of little dead blue babies was funny because babies are innocent. That's the parody, that's the joke- and I didn't take it seriously.
Here is the difference with hateful racist humor though. Often the people making the jokes, are completely serious- they really believe that "all Ni&&er$ are lazy and on welfare, thiefs, etc. that are destroying society" Just look at some of the posts here- it's humor that reflects an actual (incorrect) opinion.
I'll tell you what is really funny- when people call out racists for what they actually are, the fucking cowards don't even have the courage to defend their views, everytime, they back peddal, and say " It was just a joke"
Ha Ha Ha- you guys are morons- have fun on the internet because now you got nothing on the airwaves to rally around. peckerwoods (and I am just joking)
Posted by: mildly_amused at May 27, 2008 01:10 PM
Lady Gash just loved the attention she was getting from all the guys when she did her parody songs. She certainly didn't get recognized by men for being attractive, have you seen pictures of this girl. holy shit, UGGHHHLY Now that the show is gone perhaps she'll go on American Idol and make a fool out of herself- and the nation will laugh at her. She looks like a 300 lb catfish who combed her hair with a firecracker-smells like one too.
Posted by: mildly_amused at May 27, 2008 01:21 PM
I agree, blacks and asians aren't the BIG PROBLEM. The real PROBLEM is the fucking JEWS! Let's come up with some creative jokes about christ killer JEWS! The pizza oven one is old.
Bob Leevy opened up a comedy club in the far far North East? I give the place 6 months before it goes under. It cant last long with his BIG GREEDY JEW HAND dipping into the profits grabbing up all the money. Leevy will snort cocaine and put this club out of business- he may buy his son a few toys along the way. His son is a JEW too...I think we should skin them both and make lampshades out of them, lol... DIE DIE DIE
FUCKING ROTTEN JEWS-they are corrupting are our WHITE ANGLO SAXON PROTESTANT heritage directing our hatred away from them and towards the NIGGERS. The NIGGER is like a child, doesn't know righr from wrong. THE JEW is the mastermind trying to destroy our white society
Posted by: ZOG-destroyer at May 27, 2008 09:33 PM
Thats not exactly what I was aiming for, but oh well.
So you want new jokes about jews?
Stop being so lazy then and make one up, if your even capable. Next time use a spell check- have you ever considered that your making the white race your so proud of look like a bunch of uneducated fools?
The all capital letters don't add much- Instead of raising your voice, you should pay attention to adding some meat and bones to your argument.
Fuck, it's a lost cause, I don't even know why I bother. It's impossiable to have a logical discussion with hate mongers even about the elements of comedy.
Set Up- Punchline
It's pretty simple.
We don't agree- but I'm open minded enough to engage my opponents and consider their positions. You should stick to one liners, You had one line that was funny- about Bob Leavy snorting cocaine.
Stick with that
Leavy has been sticking to the lines in his act, and sticking to the lines of coke on his mirror for 20yrs, IMHO- it seems to be working.
I've met Leavy before- and he's not really a mastermind plotting world domination, to understate the matter.
So long
Peace- In the Middle East

You guys are all morons. Foley hated working for CBS. He always hinted at it in his show too. He said he never liked working for stations with too much restriction and its CBS for christ sake! I think he was trying really hard to get fired after they gave him his new contract. He was smart cause he knew they would pay him for the full of his contract. Oh, and FUCK you Preston and Steve listeners. they're a bunch of fag, homosexual, squid-loving, deuche-bags.

Foley may have hated working for CBS- but I really doubt he's going to get paid the remainder of his contract,and he won't win in court if he tries to fight for it. Nor will he work in terresterial radio again. What of the possibility of him getting picked up by stern? or satellite? Maybe- but satellite radio is proving to be an experiment that is failing. It will continue to exist in some form- but the numbers show that people aren't willing to actaully pay money for it. I listened to Kidd Chris, enjoyed the show even when it was played out and old. Would I pay for it? No Fucking Way- Trash like that had better be free!

Larry Mente is off the air.
Anyone who had anything to do with the Kidd Chis show is cursed, going down. I got some bad news for you fine people, KIDD CHRIS IS NOT COMING BACK!
Posted by: mildly_amused at June 1, 2008 10:38 PM
Um ... Larry Mendte being off the air has something to do with Alycia Lane and email hacking. It doesn't have anything to do with Kidd Chris. I know it's ALOT of words, but you might want to learn to read more than just the headlines assclown.
Posted by: shortybangg at June 2, 2008 09:23 AM
Ummm,
I didn't say Larry Mendte is off the air because of Kidd Chris. I said anyone who had anyone to do with the show is "cursed". So before you get all high and mighty, you should follow your own advice...and read "assclown".
PS- I hope you crash on 276 with both your kids in the car. That way if Kidd Chris ever does get back on the air- he'll have a few more handicap invalids and mental retards to have in studio.
Posted by: mildly_amused at June 2, 2008 04:24 PM
The funniest thing about all of this, is the fact that you guys don't realize what is happening to this country. Kidd Chris got fired for a "parody" song. It was meant to be a joke, sung as a joke, and written as a joke. The people who think it was justifiable to fire Kidd Chris, are the people who think comedians like Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock shouldn't have been allowed to perform. And it goes even further with musicians. America is suppose to be founded on prinicipals like freedom of speech and freedom of religion and so on. People who really hate african americans, or mexicans or any other nationality or race, are protected and allowed to say what they want out of HATE, but someone who writes a parody song about black people, ends up getting someone else fired. 2 months it took them to fire Kidd Chris, was there a new CEO that took over CBS radio that didn't like what they heard? America is going to shit and we're all letting it happen. American's have the right to change things if they see fit, our fore fathers are rolling over in their graves.

James,
The FCC was not involved in Kidd Chris being fired, nor was any other body or branch of the US Government. Had that been the case I certainly would defend Kidd Chris on principle. The First Ammendment in The Bill of Rights reads:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
The controversy surrounding Kidd Chris happened outside the bodies of government regulation. The Kidd Chris Show was not censored by the government. Kidd Chris, working in the employ of CBS radio- had the right to say what he wanted without interference from the government. Ultimately, CBS also has a right to determine what kind of programming it want's to offer.
Private comedy clubs, Private broadcasters- have made decisions not to hire Chris Rock, or David Chappelle- and that is their right. Other private clubs and broadcasters have given them voice- which is their right. We are all protected by the first ammendment. It's only when the government starts stepping in that this right is infringed. It's the right of any private broadcaster to give kidd chris a job and a voice now- I certainly won't stand in the way if this happens.
Look- I've listened to the Kidd Chris Show for a long time. There was some entertainment value to it- though I was often turned off by the hateful racist attitudes of many of Kidd Chris's listeners. It was very clear to me- that the people making racist jokes and parody's- THEY REALLY BELIEVED WHAT THEY WERE JOKING ABOUT- just look at some of the post's here. I can not speak for Chris Foley's personal opinions on race- he was the host and as far as voicing opinion goes- for the most part he stayed neutral. His callers and guests were not so neutral. If you the audience wants to know who killed the Kidd Chris show, they should go look in the mirror- the audience killed the show.
And for what it's worth- I don't think the talentless listeners who recycled jokes about black people that have been around since before the fucking civil war added anything to the show.

ummm, I didn't say you said that, I simply stated what the reason was behind mendte being off the air, and that it had nothing to do with Kidd Chris -- curse or not. Dude, you're a little angry. As for your P.S. -- that comment was about as bad and ignorant as the comments made by the "talentless listeners" (your words not mine)of the show that you seem to take issue with. Talk about hate -- perhaps you should address your own first, then worry about everyone else. I have looked at some of the other posts on here, and yours is right up there with the other hateful ones. Practice what you preach.

Too much hate - No one is able to take a joke anymore. There is no humor left in America. Everyone is uptight and everything is taken so personally. So now you have people wishing another would get in a car wreck or die or get crippled. Come on people , Kidd Chris is not in the wrong. Look at what you have said and become over this ... give me a break .. you are what you say you hate.

Look at this. 20-days after the Kidd Show was yanked and we are still talking about it. Not bad. Where are the other conversations happening? Where are the groups of people wanting to unite to bring the Kidd Show back? Why is the MySpace not allowing posts? What about other message boards. Does Kidd Chris want us to shut up until he makes the next move and is legally allowed to say something? That's my guess.
Larry Menthe? I'm sorry but that makes me laugh. I liked the guy...only because of his airtime on the Kidd Chris Show. Too bad he got busted poking around in someone else's e-mail. Like who of us hasn't done that?
It's simple. The FCC has guidelines but the real power is with the consumers but the consumers are not speaking up...at least not enough. If you re a radio station and your livelihood depends upon advertising you will need to make sure that the advertisers are happy. The advertisers stay happy if consumers are responding to their ads. If they have ads on a controversial radio show then they may have "public interest" groups complain about their advertising support for the controversial radio show. If those who enjoyed and/or listened to the show communicated that fact, then the advertisers might be able to not worry about the "public interest" groups if the listeners who spoke up outnumbered the "public interest" groups who spoke up. Unfortunately we have not been pushed far enough to speak up so the minority looking after only the minority "interests" get their way.
The squeaky wheel gets the grease but money always wins. Us "dormant" listeners are the money. Let's start squeaking!

Apparently Kidd Chris is not allowed to work in Philadelphia until mid-july. There is only one station that concievably would hire him, 104.5- its a rock station owned by clear channel that does not have a morning host.
Shortybaang- I really do not wish any harm upon you and your loved ones. I was making a very mean joke which only had appeal to a limited audience. It's ironic that I would make such a hateful joke given what I've said here. It's ironic that you would take issue with it given what you've said here.
So if you guys want to keep Kidd Chris in Philadelphia- contact clear channell and make your case. I'll be sitting this one out- but wish you all the best of luck. If you get Kidd Chris back on the air I'll listen. I hope that there will be some kind of lesson learned here

Long live Kidd Chis...Preston sucks, Steve sucks, Barsky sucked,Booker sucks,Chio sucks...
Kidd Chris was absolutely the funniest radio show ever, I know this may seem like blasphemy, but I enjoyed his show more than Stern.
