Oh no!!! I loved listening to Kirk when he would come on the show to do “Phone-a-Bro”!!!
To Mr. Elder,
I am so sorry for your loss and for the loss of a truly wonderful American!!!

I, too, would be sure to tune in on Friday when Kirk was on. That made it a little harder when I tuned in last Friday and there was a substitute host....and I quickly found out why.
I loved how Larry would call his mom for her latest movie review and Kirk kinda made up for her loss after she passed.
So let me tell you what happened not long ago that made me laugh so hard I almost fainted.
It was a Friday Phone-A-Bro. (for those that don’t know, it was a little game where Larry would play a clip from his show for that week and Kirk and a caller would compete to see who could identify the speaker)
So on this night before the start of the game, Larry said, “Kirk...can you identify this speaker?”
He then played a spot of someone saying “Whoa!”. Now this was Kirk himself which 99% of Larry’s listeners would know because he often used that “Whoa!” when he was commenting on something stupid a newsmaker would say. If I found myself in an airport in Bangkok and heard that “Whoa!”, I would have turned around looking for Kirk.
Anyway, Kirk didn’t have a clue as to the identity of who said “Whoa!”. He really didn’t.
He felt embarrassed for not knowing it because Larry kept pressing him on it. So he started making excuses like, “Maybe that was the day I went to the dentist and had to miss your show”. He didn’t want to hurt Larry’s feelings that he could actually miss one of his shows.
Fridays won’t the same. RIP, Kirk.
