It’s Christmas party season and while The Sheik wasn’t getting too down with the prospect of a fall in listener numbers “no no no, I hope they have fun” he was also realistic about the prospect of getting less listener feedback via the phone “which means less complaints too, so, you know….”. But a true professional should go about their business like the numbers are still there, the radio is tuned in and people are waiting for each track with great anticipation “you don’t stop washing your car in an eclipse” he said, that’s true Sheik, and yet another reason why you’re safe in Saturday’s 10-midnight time slot.
