Talk:The John and Ken Show

message: How come there is no mention of their start on New Jersey 101.5 and the political frenzy they created in NJ?  That start is what got them the job in California!Notajerseygirl 17:24, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Needs More Organization 

message: When did John say this on his radio show?  Do you know approximately when, or of some other source?  It seems like a random statement, please explain more. --QubitOtaku 08:40, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: This is in regards to the murder suicide of William Freund in late October. He had on a guest from wrongplanet.net discussing the symptoms of Asperger's and John mentioned that he had some of them (lack of empathy, obsession over trivial things (baseball in his case), always insisting he is right). You might be able to find a reference in the audio archives from the first part of early November. Or wait until the hosts joke about it from reading a random news story.

replies: text: That sounds like he was joking about it then.  The way its announced the the Wikipedia article makes it sound like he has a serious illness (even though its not). -- I'll browse the audio archives to see if I can find it. --QubitOtaku 10:03, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Asperger's Syndrome? 

message: I have doubt that the hosts chose the Richter scale because of its logrithmic properties. --Davidstrauss 02:20, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Though this article does include several references, most of the material is apparently unverifiable. My guess is that much of it is original research derived from editors listening to the show. Let's try to find as many sources as we can, and pare down on the unsourced info. -Will Beback 19:37, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Fair warning that unsourced material will be eventually removed. -Will Beback 20:50, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I really don't want to remove all of this stuff - but it's almost totally unsourced. C'mon, is this all original research? Isn't there a Radio Journal or similar source for talk radio info? -Will Beback · † · 09:11, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: laradio.com is a location where a lot of these comments are chronicled, but it is a pay only (web) trade journal. Barrett is a reliable source cited numerous times by the local papers, none of which have a radio columnist on staff. Calwatch 06:47, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That's a start. Most mentions of John and Ken that I can find in Google focus on their immigration stand  and their political positions, a few quotable opinions , some random coverage of them related to specifc but random stories. nothing on their format or history. Here's a nice quote from a New York Times story, but no date. These are already in the text or EL, but don't discuss the show:  An FEC compliance case final decision (a primary source). It's pretty slim pickings. For non-controversial descriptions of their format and history I suppose that their blog would be considered reliable, but they've got a huge archive so that'll take time. -Will Beback · † · 07:59, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I would like to contribute to sourcing some of the info in this article, but I'm having a hard time with the referencing system used in the article (take a look under the References section). It seems to be done in a static way so that each new reference added may require the other references to be altered. Could this be done in a way that encourages adding references without a lot of hassle? I also think that both the links under References are dead. Sarnalios 23:41, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Since I didn't get any response to my last addition to this talk page on the issue of sourcing the article, I went ahead and changed the referencing format as best as I could. Now at least new references should appear in the References section when added in the article. If you know of a better format than what is currently used, feel free to apply it to the article. The main thing, at least from my perspective, is that people are able to contribute to making the article better by adding sourced information or sourcing the existing information in the article. Sarnalios 13:23, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry I didn't respond sooner - I missed your postings here. Thanks for adding sources. However the article is still largely unsourced. It's been tagged since October 2006. We've found some possible sources, but no one has gone through and used them to support assertions in the article. I'm going to go ahead and remove the totally-unsourced history section for starters since it is also biographical.   ·:· Will Beback  ·:· 21:32, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sources 

message: This paragraph reads like something out of the Alternate Universe:
One notable disagreement between the two was in the 2008 presidential election, where Kobylt voted for John McCain while Chiampou voted for Barack Obama. The two then discussed the merits of their candidates and defended their choices. Kobylt spoke about McCain's history of opposing wasteful spending while Chiampou stated how he felt that Obama was best suited to bring meaningful reform after what both agreed was a need to breakaway from the shortcomings of the Bush years.
I listened to almost every minute of the show every day during the final months of the 2008 election and never heard anything like this. (I may have skipped the Election Day show, I can't remember.) Is there any way to cite this? It just sounds so unbelievable that, after months of railing against McCain for choosing Palin as his running mate and stating unequivocally his fear of McCain dying and Palin becoming President, Kobylt would go and vote for the Republican ticket anyway. I also never heard Kobylt defend McCain on his spending policies, or really any of his policies. This sounds made up.
