Joe Gagnon The Appliance Doctor

[uncleb67]

Just wondering if anyone here listens to Joe Gagnon, either live on WJR from 6-8am on Sunday mornings, or via Apple Podcasts? His “Home & Appliance Show” is a strange sort of guilty pleasure/radio comfort food to me, but I never catch it live at 6am on Sunday mornings, but I will catch some of each weeks’ show via podcasts within a day or two of airing. Last couple weeks, there’s been no updated podcasts, not sure if anyone here listens live or otherwise.

I have in the past but I havent in awhile. I always found found him an easy listen.

I enjoy hearing Joe on the radio

It's hilarious in a good way. Couple weeks ago a call started, "yeah, I'm having an issue with my Fridgidaire we bought in 1971..." Joe starts telling him how to fix it. I'm walking into church yapping at my wife, "who the hell fixes a 50 year old fridge?" And he gets those calls regularly!

If the issue is minor Joe recommends fixing because appliances were of better quality in those days.

You would be surprised how many people throw out a perfectly fine older refrigerator or freezer. They lose power and the little fan by the compressor don't run when the power comes back. Just give the fan a flick with your finger and it takes right off and cools and freezes like a champ.

The "bar fridge" at the Flagg residence is a 1970 GE Combination apartment sized fridge/freezer. Works perfectly. Runs whisper quiet. Stylish avocado green.

I'd like to see an LG, Samsung (or any similar piece of shit) last 53 years.

Idk. You're a similar piece of shit and you have to be pushing 70

Oh I crack myself up sometimes.

Not yet, but it's on the distant horizon

I'll let that one slide, but only because it was a good burn. Cheers.

Somebody needs to see if 'ol Joe is on this weekend. That's ridiculous that he's on at 6AM. They should bump the snooze fest that's MSU slappy Mark Hollis to 0-dark-thirty, and put Joe on at 9:00.

I get a good one in every once in a whole. It's like vacation time at work...you gotta know when to use it

Hopefully, someone will wake with the sun and see if Joe is on this Sunday morning…not sure if I have it in me!

I happened to be up this morning and tuned in to 760, and Joe Gagnon was on live with a two-hour “Home & Appliance Show”. He did mention, without any further explanation, that the show had been off the air for the last couple weeks. Of course, someone did call in with a question about a stove that they’ve had since 1971, so things were back to normal on the show.

Great news

Joe is leaving WJR after next week. Sounds like it wasn't his decision.

[MWmetalhead]

WJR will probably fill the time slot with even more garbage paid programming.

Mark Hollis' show just came on. Thirty seconds in, I'm already bored to tears. Changing the channel. The guy has zero charisma and cannot even string together a coherent thought.

How does WJR's incompetent PD still have a job? He was a lousy PD in Atlanta, and he's now a terrible PD here.

The one positive: WJR's audio processing finally sounds good again. The loud distortion appears to be gone.
