Mantalk signs TV Deal for 26 episodes

Hear the audio-the caller gets his wish
After a year of negotiation, Mantalk Inc. and Robert Billian, CEO of Billian Entertainment have agreed to a 26 episode deal for a one hour Television version of The Mantalk Radio Show. Mantalk, one of the longest running radio shows for men, "will have more substance than the Manshow" said William Bege, President of Mantalk Inc. Mantalk always attracts heavy men demos with reality based topics featuring sex, life and recreation. Pre-production will start in the fall of 2006 in Chicago. Mr. Billian will be using Chicago's extensive talent pool of comedy writers and said "Bill & Brent are 2 natural and relatable guys you'd love to have a beer with. Men need a show like this. I was sold in 5 minutes." The "No Women allowed" prenise will continue, which originally garnered the show extensive television and press attention. William Bege (AKA The Radio Outlaw) and Brent Weiler will reprise their roles from the radio show. They are cohosts with neither one the "star". The opening will feature clay animation and popular radio segments like Fishin with Bob,Cartalk and The Original Aids Update will continue on and new segments like Video Games and Big Steve, a 400 pound correspondent hailing cabs in a bear suit and talking to people on the street will be added. Anything of interest to men of all diversities will be covered from testicular cancer and other men's health topics to ring tones and wrestling. Brazilian pianist Luiz Simas from New York "will be our Paul Shaffer", said Bege, but once a month guest artists like Gnarls Barkley, James Brown or Alice Cooper might be in Simas' chair. Media inquiries should be directed to outlaw@mantalk.com.

Prostate Cancer on Mantalk Radio Show

Hear the audio
Prostate Cancer Symptoms If the cancer is caught at its earliest stages, most men will not experience any symptoms. Some men, however, will experience symptoms that might indicate the presence of prostate cancer, including: A need to urinate frequently, especially at night; Difficulty starting urination or holding back urine; Weak or interrupted flow of urine; Painful or burning urination; Difficulty in having an erection; Painful ejaculation; Blood in urine or semen; or Frequent pain or stiffness in the lower back, hips, or upper thighs. Because these symptoms can also indicate the presence of other diseases or disorders, men who experience any of these symptoms will undergo a thorough work-up to determine the underlying cause of the symptoms.For more info visit www.prostatecancerfoundation.org.Although the prostate examination is quick and simple, many men resist having this important test. Here are some reasons men commonly mention for not having a prostate checkup. Suggestions follow as to how you might answer. 1. Only old men have prostate problems. Not true. Although prostate problems are most common after age 60, they can affect men of any age, particularly those over 40. 2. I haven't had any symptoms. Go anyway. Each year, more than 34,000 men die of prostate cancer. Why? Because there are generally no symptoms in the earliest stages when prostate cancer is most curable. 3. I feel embarrassed at the thought of the digital rectal examination. So do most men. However, the prostate is an internal organ that cannot be looked at directly. The way doctors routinely examine it is by gently sliding a gloved, lubricated finger into the rectum, a process that takes only a minute. Because women's reproductive organs are internal, women are more used to internal examinations. Some men need extra encouragement to overcome their embarrassment. 4. I heard that the examination is uncomfortable. The examination, called the digital rectal examination, is simple and quick. What are a few seconds of mild discomfort compared with a lifetime of good health? 5. The last time I had a checkup, the doctor didn't check my prostate. Because some men object to prostate examinations, not all physicians routinely perform them. But no checkup of a man over 40 is complete without it. Men should feel free to ask for a digital rectal examination as part of a checkup. 6. I don't have time to go for a checkup. Maybe you can help. Offer to make the appointment or even drive him to the doctor's office. Emphasize that catching problems early, with the help of regular checkups, takes less time from one's life than does waiting and perhaps developing a serious illness. 7. If I do have a prostate problem, treating it may mean the end of my sex life. This is generally not the case. In many instances, treatment for prostate disease, including prostate cancer, need not affect a man's sex life. 8. If something is wrong with my prostate, I don't want to know. Prostate cancer is incurable. Not true. Many prostate cancers are curable if detected early. Waiting until symptoms appear only increases the odds of finding a prostate problem when it is more advanced and less treatable. On the other hand, symptoms can come from prostate problems other than cancer. So there's no reason for men with prostate symptoms to be alarmed. There's every reason to have a prostate examination. The Prostate Examination The doctor will first ask questions about medical history and any symptoms, particularly any problems with urination. Next comes the physical examination. Because the prostate lies in front of the rectum, the doctor can feel it through the rectum by performing the digital rectal examination. This type of checkup allows the doctor to estimate whether the prostate is enlarged or has lumps or other areas that feel abnormal. While the examination may produce some discomfort, it is quick and without risk. [For a line drawing how the examination is conducted, click here.] Some doctors are also beginning to perform a blood test called the PSA (prostate specific antigen) test to help determine whether prostate cancer might be present. Other physicians use this test only as an additional diagnostic tool when the digital rectal examination indicates a possible prostate problem. [For information on the PSA test, click here.] How the Digital Rectal Examination Helps Detect Prostate Disease If the results of the checkup suggest a bothersome or serious prostate problem, the doctor may recommend seeing a urologist. A urologist is a doctor who specializes in diseases of the urinary tract and male reproductive system. The urologist may perform other tests or diagnostic procedures to better determine the nature of the problem. The three principal prostate diseases are described in more detail below. Prostate Cancer Each year more than 130,000 new cases of prostate cancer are found in the U.S. More than 34,000 men will die from the disease this year. Nearly one of every 10 men will develop this form of cancer. It is second only to lung cancer as the leading cause of cancer death in men. The chance of developing prostate cancer goes up with age. Prostate Cancer is the Most Common Cancer In U.S. Men and Second Leading Cause Of Cancer Deaths Prostate cancer is a malignant tumor that begins most often in the outer part of the prostate. As the tumor grows, it may spread to the inner part of the prostate where the urethra, the tube that carries urine, is located. The cancer must grow fairly large before it presses on the urethra and causes trouble with urination. That's why it's a good idea to have regular prostate checkups even when there are no symptoms. In the early stages, most prostate cancer is curable. With early treatment, the percentage of men who stay alive longer than 10 years is just about the same as for men who have never had prostate cancer. By the time a prostate cancer causes symptoms, however, it may not respond as well to treatment. If allowed to grow without treatment, some prostate cancers may spread to other organs. The result may be disability and sometimes even death.Diagnosis generally involves a series of steps: First, the doctor will ask a number of questions. Next comes the digital rectal examination. If the doctor suspects that a cancer is present, he may recommend additional tests to confirm the diagnosis or indicate the extent of the cancer's growth. One such test is a biopsy in which the urologist obtains a small sample of the prostate for examination. If the diagnosis of prostate cancer is made, the doctor will often advise that treatment be undertaken. Surgery, radiation therapy, or medications may be discussed, depending on the extent of the cancer. The doctor will advise on the treatments most appropriate for a particular patient. Because of their slow growth, some small, early-stage prostate cancers may not require treatment, especially in patients who are very old or very ill. Enlarged Prostate After men reach age 40, their prostates often begin to enlarge. This condition is known as benign prostatic hyperplasia, or just "BPH." The majority of men eventually develop enlarged prostates. Many, but not all, of these men will have some trouble with urination. It is important to note that BPH is not cancer nor does it lead to cancer. However, a man can have both BPH and prostate cancer at the same time. BPH usually affects the innermost part of the prostate first. The enlargement often squeezes the urethra where it runs through the prostate. This pressure sometimes causes trouble with urination. When symptoms of BPH are bothersome or a serious blockage causes a kidney problem or other complication, treatment may be needed. In this case, the patient and doctor should discuss whether treatment is necessary and what treatments are available. Surgery is the treatment choice most recommended. However, other forms of therapy, including medication, are becoming available. All the options should be discussed with the doctor before going ahead.

Rick Dees L.A. Dj Aircheck KIIS-FM

Hear the audio
Dees worked in various radio stations throughout the southeastern United States, including WSGN in Birmingham, Alabama. Dees recorded "Disco Duck" in 1976 while working at WMPS-AM in Memphis, Tennessee which fired him over his airplay of it. Following a 45 day mandatory hiatus after his time at rival WMPS, he went on to WHBQ-AM in Memphis and took the station to #1. The single Disco Duck sold over six million copies and reached number 1 on Billboard magazine's Hot 100 chart on October 16, 1976. The song had a cameo appearance in the movie Saturday Night Fever, in a brief scene in which a group of older people were learning to "move their feet to the disco beat", but the song was not included in that movie's popular soundtrack album, thus depriving him of a Grammy award that the artists on the record received. In 1979 Dees moved to Los Angeles and did mornings on KHJ (which was at the time WHBQ's sister station) during its final years as a Top 40 station. When KHJ fliped to a country format, Dees left the station. In 1982, Rick Dees moved to crosstown Top 40 outlet KIIS-FM, where he served as host of Rick Dees in the Morning until 2004, when he was replaced by Ryan Seacrest.Competed against John London.

Famous Artist David Maxwell Part 1

Hear the audio
Painter David Maxwell is sitting in the spacious backyard at his Miramar duplex (one of his daughters lives in the front half) when I arrive for a visit on a perfect South Florida Sunday morning. He and his wife of 33 years, Mary, have just returned from their customary weekend breakfast at their favorite diner. He's relaxing in the yard so that their two dogs can get comfortable enough with me that they won't be a distraction while we talk. Maxwell, a Chicago native who's in his early 60s, is an imposing bear of a man, with a bushy beard that ranges from gray on the sides to snowy white in the center. As he freely admits, he likes to talk. He'll hold forth on theory, technique, you name it with the confidence of someone who has been doing what he does for a very long time. With his meticulously constructed urban scenes, combining post-impressionist technique and modern subject matter, Maxwell has become one of South Florida's most admired and instantaneously recognizable painters. His curriculum vitae is a dense document full of his achievements, presented with no pretense to modesty. He claims that his work appeals not only "to children, neophytes, and everyday visitors" but also to "hypersnotty critics." (Having written favorably about his work a few times in the past, I hope I don't fall into the latter category.) He claims to have had works in hundreds of shows and won nearly 100 awards. What Maxwell does, with great skill, is use opaque watercolor to capture construction sites. "They're so much more interesting under construction," he says. "I think the building has so much more visual dynamics when it's under construction." Not surprisingly, the artist worked in the construction business himself for nearly three decades; he devoted himself to art full time when, after his three children were grown, Mary went to work as an elementary-school teacher. A typical Maxwell piece might feature a concrete mixer, a gigantic crane, a dumpster full of debris, scaffolding, or piles of construction materials. He often crops an image and then divides it between two canvases that can work together or apart. His Not Quite Plumb, which recently took second prize in the "30 Years, the Next Level" show at ArtServe, is a two-panel take on part of the Diplomat resort complex on the beach in Hollywood. An earlier piece called T.Y. Saurus gave a piece of heavy equipment at T.Y. (Topeekeegee Yugnee) Park in Hollywood the look of a mechanical dinosaur. Photographs are instrumental in Maxwell's art. And yet he bristles at the notion of translating a photo into a painting. "First is the idea," he says. He approaches a subject with his interpretation of it in mind, he explains, but the result is always far from literal. Instead, Maxwell uses one or more photographs of a construction site to re-create the site so that it's something that exists only in his imagination and on the canvas. He'll take elements from one photo and combine them with elements from another. "I refuse to accept the camera as anything other than a reminder," he says. An extraneous item here is deleted, another item is added elsewhere to flesh out the composition. Maxwell mentions shifting some birds from one part of a painting to another to readjust the visual balance. An excess of empty sky in a photograph disappears as the image is rendered in watercolor. Maxwell talks a lot about "negative space" and "a sense of place" when discussing his paintings. He cites a wide range of influences, from Marcel Duchamp to Paul Signac to modern composer John Cage. At first glance, and especially from a slight distance, a Maxwell painting appears to be standard-issue photorealism. But on closer inspection, we can see that he has applied a technique associated with the late 19th Century to contemporary subject matter. Maxwell has essentially revived, and converted to his own uses, pointillism, the technique employed by French neoimpressionist Georges Seurat (he called it divisionism) and one of his disciples, Signac. Seurat achieved mesmerizing effects by using tiny dots of paint that, taken together, form the image. American artist Roy Lichtenstein used a similar ingredient -- the Ben Day dots of commercial graphics -- for much different effects in his comics-inspired paintings. Maxwell acknowledges both Seurat and Lichtenstein as influences, as well as the pixilated imagery of television and computers. He throws all these styles and techniques into his aesthetic blender and emerges with his own sensibility. After our rambling discussion, Maxwell invites me into the duplex, where the small kitchen/dining room doubles as his studio. Mary has commandeered the lower tier of a bunk bed in a small bedroom as her studio, where she works on pottery to which she affixes shards of glass and other materials. Another room is a sort of library/office, filled with countless books, magazines, and brochures. A computer slide show displays an impressive sampling of the Maxwells' work. Not many of Maxwell's paintings are on display in his house. He says he doesn't like to have a lot of completed work lying (or hanging) around. He prefers to keep as many paintings as possible in circulation, touring the country in traveling shows or on display in corporate or museum collections. Maxwell has been active in a variety of artists' organizations, including the Allied Artists of America and Knickerbocker Artists, both based in New York City. He has also been represented exclusively for more than 15 years by the Uptown Gallery, also in NYC. That may explain why his work commands high prices. Not Quite Plumb was priced at $19,000 at the ArtServe show, many thousands of dollars more than its competitors. For all his self-confidence and bravado, however, Maxwell is constantly reexamining his work. "If you're not questioning what you're doing," he says, "you're not doing your job as an artist.".He passed away July 19,2006.
