The
Jewish Radio Mafia: Larry Wachs*
*The below has not been fact checked, but Larry swore
it was all true. Really, he swore a great deal.
A.K.A.: "Leisure Suit"
From: Tel Aviv, Israel - "My dad
had to leave, because he was doing business of ill repute
with some Palestinians."
Age: Unknown
Been in Radio: 28 years
Heard On: 96 Rock, "The Regular Guys"
GETTING INTO THE BIZ: "It was a
very easy way to meet young ladies and get paid for doing
essentially nothing," says Larry. "Oh yeah,
to have a positive influence on the community, I wanted
to do that too."
ON GETTING BOOTED OFF THE AIR: "They
begged us to come back. This is as monumental as someone
convincing one of the guards at Auschwitz to let all the
prisoners go. We're just enormous martyrs," declares
Wachs with a straight face. "It’s about time
for people to start recognizing it."
ON BEING JEWISH: "I don't think
that's any of your business. That's an enormously personal
question." Pause. "It's hard being in the shadow
of a big shiny Star of David," sighs Wachs.
IT'S GOOD TO HAVE A GOAL: "I want
to get fully vested in the company pension plan so I can
quit and go back to my life from when I was fired, being
a cranky blogger and a bad golfer." That's not all.
"Oh yeah," he adds. "I want to be a better
Jew."  |
