As most of us at the Burton picnic have heard, there was a bit of a "falling out" between my son Steve and my talk show producer Steve. As a result I may wind up trying to host the show by myself, on occasions when Venator cannot be there. This would be a difficult tasks for me as a solo host. BORING!! I would like to pose a question to the Mich forum;
Would anyone like to join me and co-host the show, either one or more on a rotating basis as Venator does or if it continues to work, maybe as a permanent co-host. If you don't wish to answer on the forum or have questions, PM me or give me a call ** 989-725-1695**
I am really kinda bumbed out over this event. The show was really starting to draw an audience and I would hate to quit at this point but if we can't get something to work out; I guess we're done with the show. 
I thank you all for your support.
Jerry

Don't worry about not having a co-host if you need someone give me a call or PM me. I have weekends off now from work, and I'm more then willing to help our cause. If they don't let you use the studio anymore I can also figure something out about that too. Technology is a great thing we can do it out of your or my house without a problem.

| Thanks for the response guys; I'm hoping to talk to my producer today and try to work something out. Nothing is for sure just yet. I just thought I would throw the question out there to get a feel on anyone's interest to come on the show. Even if we get things settled and back to normal, I would still like to have the forum members who would like to, come on the show and give your views and experiences. I'm not counting this show out just yet, but I like to have alternate plans in place before an issue arises. I will post more info sometime this evening as soon as I can get some answers.

It's pretty simple. Keep it fresh by having different people every week if you have to. Arrange special guests from other states even. There are plenty of people on OCDO that would be delighted to call in for a while and discuss things. Just don't quit the show!
Hell, if you have to, make it geared towards nation wide and talk about all kinds of stuff.
JUST DON'T QUIT, YOUR SHOW IS AWESOME AND FULL OF EVEN MORE POTENTIAL!!!

Thanks for the support and encouragement guys, but it's not looking good. I sent the producer an email and told him to call me to try and figure this out. That was Sunday evening. No phone call as of yet. Part of the problem(s) is he is trying to do too much at one time and hence not getting anything done properly. I had talked to him a couple of times before about getting the shows posted on the different web sites he has listed for the show and as you may have noticed he still hasn't edited and joined the "piece meal" show from last month into a single video; or posting them promptly. He said he had been too busy to get to it. Setting up my show's web page is another. If he can't keep focused on what needs to be done, then there's no hope of accomplishing anything. This is the basis of the problem between my son and the producer (car show / no show fiasco). So if he's not interrested enough to call me and work things out, I guess we're done. The next show is supposed to be this Sat. so if I don't get a call by Fri. pm, I won't be doing the show. Too bad to, the producer even said this show was top of his list for viewing above all his other shows. Therefore I'm kinda curious--- this being true--- wouldn't you do all you could and focus your energy to keep your "Best show" going? Go figure! I guess we'll just have to wait and see. I will keep you posted.

I sent another email to producer Steve. I guess if I don't hear back from him by Fri. The talk show is done. If he does want to keep it going, I'll give it a shot and see what happens. I will keep you informed.

Well sorry guys but I guess the talk show is OVER and done with. I have sent Steve Meyers emails twice to contact me if he wanted to continue the show and he hasn't bothered to call or send me an email back, so he must not be interested in doing the show anymore. And I'm not going to beg him for the chance to continue.
I thank you all for your support while it lasted. Maybe we informed a few people and did some good in this short time.

Jerry,
Would it be possible to compile a show "off-air"? Another gun-rights podcast I listen to does something like this, they let people call-in via Skype, and leave voicemails. The host then compiles the show with his commentary and selections from "off-air" call-ins. Skype voicemail is like $3 a month. Or maybe there is a free version available somewhere.
I would hate to see this show go away. I was looking forward to listening to this weekends edition.
I wish I could step in and help this weekend, I am off camping in Holland. Really hope that someone is able to step up and keep this rolling!

+1 for finding alternative avenues that would allow the show to continue.

Damn Jerry, sorry to hear that. Perhaps it's best for this to happen now, considering the car show and all. There must be an alternative(s) for the show as others have mentioned.

It's official; TALK SHOW IS OVER!
I haven't heard anything from Steve Meyers, so as far as I'm concerned; we're done. I wish he would have considered at least calling me and try to work something out but I guess not. Thanks for all your support guys. Hopefully our "outings" will help to continue to spread the word.

Sorry to hear about this Jerry. I rushed home from the gun show just to listen, only to hear the last episode.

I'm baaack . Talk show a GO, GO
NEXT SHOW: Sat, June 28th, 3pm
I just got a call from John Wilson (assit. producer), Steve Meyers had a family emergency and was out of state for the last few days. Once again I made the mistake of assumption, but I didn't know. Apparently John was supposed to call me and he forgot. Steve wants to continue the show very badly (almost as much as me). So, my friends, I guess you can listen to my old a$$ chatter off at the mouth next week. I would still like to invite ANY of you who would like to guest host with me. Maybe someone different each show or as many as you would like to do. Hell, maybe have 2 or 3 of us and make a debate out of it. I guess anything is possible now. I can't stress enough how much all of your support has meant to me.
Thanks, Jerry

I can't say any of the facts for sure, I wasn't there. Apparently it was over the Rocky's car show scheduling fiasco. I don't want to say more than that because it's not really my business and I don't have the facts. I hope they can work past it in the future and reconcile, but for now, time and distance will help.
I'm glad to have the chance to continue to get the word out with as much useful info as we can.

Congrats Jerry on being back. can't wait for the return. anytime you need a hand (research help, guest, co-host for a day) feel free to hit me up. The more people that ban together for this common cause, the better.
