Anyone know where Al Eschback (sp) is?

[OKCRT]

I haven't heard his voice on the radio for quite a while and haven't really heard why.

[hfry]

Vacation. Should be back next week if I remember right.

[SoonerDave]

He takes an annual month-long vacation just about every year around this time. He goes to strange places in the far east, or so is the claim. I think he pushes weird for the sake of weird, given that he's single and his kids are all grown and on their own. Heck, I think the guy is well into his 70's.

One of these days, I suspect he's going to go on one of those vacations, and not come back. And we'll never know what becomes of him.

He must get 3 months vacation time a year it seems. good for him. I think he's got some young 20s something year old over in Bangkok or somewhere. Maybe named MyTie or something like that. He talks about her once in a while.

For a while he started into this rather..peculiar..banter about the women he encountered on one of his trips. The discussion got really kinda....uncomfortable....because you really couldn't tell when the reality ended and the radio theater started....

[Paule4ou]

Tomorrow at 4 p.m. will be appointment radio.....we'll get to hear all about his recent adventure.

[Bellaboo]

Not to be a turd, but I quit listening to Al when he did a show from a resturant and smacked BBQ for about half an hour. Then shortly after that Jack passed and I have not had it on that station since.

[Ross MacLochness]

He's sitting alone at the bar in the back of Othello's in Norman

[traxx]

The story is, and I've heard it multiple places, that he likes the ladyboys over in Thailand.

Multiple places doesn't always mean it's true. I can't even count the number of sources for the Mathis Brothers story.

Al goes to Phuket. It is one of the most beautiful beach areas in the world. That’s why he goes. This other is just ignorant gossip that many are more than willing to spread without regard to reputations, family embarrassment, etc. Usually these rumors start with people who only know about Thailand from the porn sites they visit and assume that’s the only reason people would possibly go there. Smh. 🤦

Well, in all fairness, Al does (or did) a bit for the gossip a couple of years back...he was talking about his "girlfriend" there, or something (in the vein of what I was talking about earlier in the thread), and the stories got a little..almost creepy. I think there might have been some unspoken consensus at the station that perhaps he went too far with the "radio theater" back then.

ever been to Phuket? It's really dirty, trashy and the sex industry is seedy and in your face. IMO it's not even close to being one of the most beautiful beach areas in the world.

I'm putting my money on Ladyboys

[Rover]

Wow. Sounds like you should know.

[OKCRT]

Al likes to have fun. He loves the young ladies of Asian descent as they treat their men like kings.

Don't know about ladyboys but sounds like a nasty little rumor to me.

Yeeeeaaaahh.....thats incorrect. Its pretty nice but still recovering from the Tsunami so yes, a bit of trash they try to clean up at dawn.

The 2nd statement isn't even worth an answer.
