Farewell to JanMichael on The Guy James Show
As some of you know this will be the last week for Michael to be in the studio during the Guy James Show. He is making an upward career move and will be relocating so it will be impossible for him to continue his valued commentary on the program. Oh yes, he'll still call in but there will be a void without his presence.

I wonder if many of you understand just how brilliant the guy is. I come to the studio with a mountain of notes and documents each week and he comes with nothing but a large Slurpee. His depth of knowledge is truely staggering and his ability to commit information to memory is nothing short of amazing. I wouldn't want to get into a debate of any kind with him. Anyone silly enough to do so would get the short end of the stick every time.

He is congenial, friendly and a joy to be around and I, for one, will miss him for a guy like him cannot be replaced. I wish him all the success and happiness this life can provide.

Guy

2. I'll miss him too!
I only discovered that Michael on your show was our JanMichael here at DU recently. I always enjoy his posts and insights. Yes, he does seem to be a terrific guy, Guy!

4. I know you are going to miss him
Not having Michael around leaves a vacuum, believe me, I know.

6. It's sad I never got the chance to meet him
I only live 20 miles from him. The guy is brilliant.

16. Nah.
Hardly brilliant. Just pissed off and verbose:-)

20 miles? You're in Bradenton?

Thanks for the complement.

8. Michael will be missed
My husband and I listen to the show and look forward to it. I am glad for Michael and Steph that he has an opportunity to move upward as he is so well spoken and intelligent.
It will leave a void on the program. We enjoy the verbal exchanges and ideas between you and Michael, Guy. The two of you together has enriched the show and made it such a pleasure.
Best of luck to you, Michael and Steph. We will miss you and wish you both the best life has to offer.

15. Thanks. I think it was the hangOver.
Makes for more entertaining rants.

It's a bummer that it was my last show. It's been a blast.

17. another opinion
Edited on Mon Feb-23-04 11:03 AM by bullimiami
guy

Mike may be a nice guy and very knowledgeable but from my perspective it doesnt translate on the air.
He comes across more as a cheerleader / sidekick than an informative asset although he has his moments.

Just one persons opinion.


And Michael i hope no offense is taken and best of luck in the future.
