Nudity in the studio

    Thursday, July 19, 2007, 09:54 AM EST [General]

    This morning I visited The WiLD Morning Show to discuss a recent bit called "Naked Olympics."

    Recently I received a phone call from the corporate park management letting me know that they had received a complaint about FIVE naked men running around our parking lot. I immediately started laughing and so did the girl who was calling me. As we were wrapping up the call, I said, "Wait... Ya know, we do have one radio station... let me go investigate and I'll get right back to you."

    Sure enough, the WiLD Morning Show was at it again.

    I have since imposed a "no nudity" rule on the building; which I never thought I'd ever have to do... ever... anywhere. Kevin, Virginia, Marianna and Jason are pleading with me to reconsider this mandate.

    What do you think? I can't let my employees run around naked... especially naked in PUBLIC! Leave me your comments and let me know what I should do.

    Well I for one say....Let them go buck wild. If anything, it will wait up everyone around them. It spices up the place. It just a blast to listen to them acting crazy. I laugh with them every morning and it makes my day a little bit more enjoyable and bearable. I actually call them "The Fantastic Four" if you wake up feeling down just turn on your radio and get a dose of Kevin, Virginia, Marianna and Jason and you are rearing to go by the time you reach your car.

    I was on a cruise with them last weekend and they are about the sweetest, funniest, go-lucky people that I have met in a long time. Hey, I don't mind them having the Naked Olympics once a month!!!!

    It brightens up my day and puts giggles in my belly just to watch them have fun on the computer when I am at work..even when I am not. WHAT THEY DO IS NOT DONE WITH "SEXUAL INTENTIONS" JUST "PLAIN FUN & LAUGHS" ..SO OFF WITH THE CLOTHES AND ON WITH THE OLYMPICS!!!!

    Well, Mr. Hunt, first let me say that we, the listeners, enjoy the fact that you would like our opinion on such a matter. I believe that there should be rules for any kind of "nudity", as some people (who have nothing better to do) would take offense and/or complain. Rules such as keeping it with in the studio, and not around the general public, makes sense. If they are going to do something similar to the Naked Olympics in the future, they should put up maybe some type of warning signs around the area for people to see saying "Warning - Nudity - Parental Guidance strongly suggested". Keep it like the rating warnings they put on television shows. I dont think it should be completely stopped though, because as a WILD 95.5 listener, stuff like that is why I listen. It is very entertaining, and makes for a good start to a day.

    Thank you for your time and hearing out my thoughts on the issue.

    John I think that after listening to the show this morning that you could let them be naked in the studio and not out in the parking lot. I think that the stuff that they do is very funny and it is what keeps me listing on the internet all day every day the naked olympics were so funny i showed like 5 diff people in my office..... so yes i understand the complaints but at least let them carry on in true morning show fashion in the privacy of the studio

    John--
    Understanding your position. You need to understand that when the Gang gets naked it is the best thing ever to wake up and get to check out the website to see the nakedness. They would never do it to hurt anyone’s feelings it is just something to make the Wild Morning show more unique. They are great and don’t stop the Nakedness...

    Thanks for giving people the opportunity to express their thoughts regarding the "Wild" behavior of the morning crew. I can completely understand your situation and have a few thoughts. As a parent, I would not want my children to see Kevin and Jason "streaking" around the parking lot (although I rather enjoyed it). So, nudity in public may invite a lawsuit from someone who obviously has nothing better to do. On the other hand, inside the confines of the station, as long as the station employees don't mind I say go for it! If the listeners don't like it they can switch stations. The main reason we adore the Wild Morning Show is because of the wacky things Jason is willing to do "in the name of science". Maybe a warning sign to those who would be offended could be posted on the station door. Something like ... WARNING: HOT YOUNG NAKED GUYS ON THE PREMISES - ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK. :)
