Wise Brother Media

Bios

- Johnny Vega
- President
- Johnny has 30 years of experience producing major market morning shows, including Radio Hall of Fame legends "Rick Dees" and "Mark & Brian". He created Wise Brother because show prep of this caliber simply didn't exist. He likes exotic cars. He dislikes exotic dancers.
- Robert Alan
- Senior Vice President
- Don't let his anglo name fool you; he's actually got more ethnicities streaming through him than Ellis Island. When not forsaking his ancestry to simply make sales to "Whitey", Robert loiters in front of local junior colleges in a mustard yellow Impala with a Puerto Rican flag painted on the hood. You know, to impress the ladies. Due to a lack of physical affection in his formative years, Robert finds it necessary to uncomfortably hug anyone within reaching distance of his stone-like calloused right hand.
- Charlie Reinke
- Head Writer
- A loving husband and doting father, Charlie is The Complete Sheet's lyrical maestro. When not hunched over a keyboard, churning out FCC-friendly euphemisms for "naughty things," Charlie spends his days in a futile attempt to convince anyone who listens that the Cleveland Browns are a professional sports franchise.
- Mike Lottie
- Operations Manager
- Shhh. Hear that ticking sound? It's not your wall clock. It's the time bomb that is Lt. Mike. Trained in special ops, Lt. Mike had visions of slaughtering millions during the first Gulf War. Sadly, he was never deployed - forcing him to take his aggression out on run-on sentences, misspellings, and lame jokes. Behind that mercenary glint in his eye, there's always the fear that he MIGHT snap and lay waste to all who have wronged him. But, for now, he's happy just being the nocturnal mystery man who everyone says hi to - then ducks.
- Nick English
- Showbiz / Comedy Writer
- Nick would like to think his incessant whining at parties was solely responsible for getting Alice Cooper enshrined in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He also hopes to live long enough to see Bruce Campbell accomplish the EGOT - which is to win an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony. He is currently developing a religion based on the first three Blue Oyster Cult albums, and his dream is to referee a playful yet competitive lingerie pillow fight between Gisele Bündchen and Kate Upton.
- Sam Greenspan
- Director of Development / Stupid News Writer
- As the only Jewish person on the staff, Sam constantly handles the duel burdens of adding comedic credibility to the writing and making sure the company is able to always get lines of credit at low-usury rates. When he's not writing Stupid News or directing development (whatever that means?), Sam is a semi-bestselling published author (of the book "11 Points Guide to Hooking Up") and semi-worstselling male escort.
- Shawn Patrick
- Delicious Audio Production Director
- He couldn't be more Irish if he were handcuffed at a Boston sobriety checkpoint. Shawn is a mechanical genius who thoroughly enjoys three things: Marlboro Lights, hi-tech computers, and continued enhancements to the homemade tornado shelter in his backyard. He also likes to shuffle around the house shouting things like "Don Dokken was never appreciated as a true artist!" and "If you don't like being chained in the basement, you shouldn't have knocked on my door!" He believes the processed cheese industry controls the weather and Chunky is the soup of Satan.
- J.D. Shultz
- Showbiz Writer
- It's not every day you meet an Ohio-born Mennonite with a blistering take on Hollywood. But then, it's not every day you peruse the bio section of a prep service, so hey - crazy times, huh? Eager to make up for a youth wasted on pigeon breeding and clog-offs, J.D. escaped to Northwestern University in Chicago, which exposed him to such insanity as electricity, paved roads and patterned clothing. Hungry for more, J.D. packed his horse buggy and headed to L.A., where he spends his days wading through the abyss of showbiz insanity - a job entirely incomprehensible to his people. Still, his parents are proud of him - they think.
- James Kendall
- News / Lifestyles Writer
- We were hoping you wouldn't make it this far. Oh, well. James once held a magnifying glass over the likes of Britney Spears and Paris Hilton for "Us Weekly" and "In Touch" magazines, but grew frustrated when he learned celebs don't burst into flames like ants do. He moved on to more reputable glossies like "Esquire" and "Rolling Stone", but ultimately realized that his flair for inappropriate sex jokes worked best in radio. When not at work, he enjoys betting on high-stakes coin flips and performing frequent self-prostate exams. And yes, his photo makes us uncomfortable, too.
- Jackie Appell
- Editor
- After graduating from UC Irvine with a pointless degree in literary journalism, Jackie worked her way to an associate editor position at the "Orange County Business Journal". But it wasn't until she found out that she could get paid to edit pointless "Stupid News" stories that she realized she'd stumbled upon her true calling. When not at work, Jacquelyn enjoys meeting strange men in foreign countries under the guise of being an amateur travel writer for TheJetPacker.com.
- Maria Covarrubias
- Business Manager
- Maria was born in Mexico. But don't hold that against her. Let Donald Trump do that for you. A hyperactive child, one night Maria began tunneling beneath her home in Guadalajara and emerged an hour later in Los Angeles. She soon met the love of her life, Jorge, who, after a typical Latino courtship, proposed to her in front of all four of their children. Maria is proud of the fact that three of those kids are now in college and the fourth plans to enroll once he's paroled in 2024.
- AJ Lentini
- TCS Country Writer / STT Content Manager
- AJ Lentini has been a valued employee of Wise Brother Media for eons, if not years. He's a comedy writer, editor, music writer and resident gladiola expert. AJ believes his work speaks for itself. Although he often uses sock puppets. His resume is riddled with lies. Not this one, the one he sent to Taco King back in the day. Here's his credit card info: 4784-6877-8988-8710.
- Bob Oschack
- Handsomely Brilliant / Comedy Writer
- A Wise Brother comedy writer for over a decade, Bob has watched our joke section evolve from racist, borderline slanderous frat-boy humor to - okay, bad example. He once did stand-up and even has his own half-hour Comedy Central Special on VHS to prove it. Nowadays, Bob struggles to cover the mortgage on a home he bought at the peak of the market while hanging out with a wife he no longer has anything in common with, and two kids who don't understand how daddy sits at home all day in a wine-stained softball jersey and warm-up pants but still has a "job".
- Amanda Clark
- Web Developer / Amateur Fashionista
- Amanda was the pride of her family when she became the first to graduate from college. That pride turned to shame when she joined the radio industry. Fortunately, she found a new family here at Wise Brother, right down to a creepy uncle. (We're looking at you, Charlie Reinke). When not fulfilling her vital role at the company - in other words, we don't know what she does - Amanda enjoys archery, restoring her 1930's house, and a bunch of other stuff that makes white people so damn annoying.
- Pamela Joaquin
- Affiliate Relations Manager
- Pam is a Native Los Angeleno with a feisty New York vibe. She graduated from UC Santa Barbara - "Olééé, Olé, Olé, Olé! Gauchos! Gauchos!" (She MAY be Hispanic.) Her passions range from fencing and kayaking, to finding the perfect brunch. She loves coffee, but NOT from Starbucks. You can always count on her for excellent restaurant recommendations. "Can you say #foodie? Claro que sí!" (Again, she MAY be Hispanic.) She enjoys eating out as much as she likes cooking for others. After work, spending time with family, friends, and switchblades is Pam's priority. She drives to the barrio in her lowrider.
- Blazy
- Delicious Audio Executive Producer
- Blazy is a 30-year MVP of morning radio and a comedy pro. He finds the humor in things every day to produce delicious pieces of radio pie for your show. He's the man of 1,000 voices. OK, seven, but they're all distinct and funny. During his stand-up career, he did shows with Robin Williams, George Carlin, Dennis Miller, Brian Regan, Dave Attell, Patton Oswalt, was in Kevin Pollak's HBO special, and the rest of the list was too long for him to name drop. He prefers wearing suits to work. He believes it keeps the comedy "classy." He had dry cleaning written into his deal. With Delicious Audio since 2011, you no doubt have featured his talents on your show many times. He's one of the few radio people that looks the way he sounds. Funny.
