about brian shrader

Hey, everybody!  I'm the traffic man on WRAL News every morning.  I also do our "Siteseeing" segment on the 8 a.m. news, cover environmental stories, report on what's hot and fresh on WRAL.com and a bunch of other things. 

But enough about me.  Send me an e-mail.

Hey Brian, you might want to put this on the map, there is a huge pig in the road (RT 40 East @ MM 318) with two trucks involved in the accident

YES!

suppp DUDEEEEEE!!!

how ya bizzzzz? for chizle manizzle

Thought you might have occasion to use this (teeheehee):

Who would have thought you'd have to "rob a bank" for its letters?! At least it was closed, I guess. There's not much you can do with a Papa Johns sign!

No problem, Brian. It's technology -- that pretty much explains it all! One question, though... what's up with that big B on the desk? B for Brian? And where in the world do you find a B that big? The chair from a yard sale, I can believe... but that B must have been swiped from somewhere. I mean, I just can't imagine anybody having random 3 foot letters in yard sales. Unless it was a Big Lots. Or Brendle's!

(serious voice) Mr. Shrader... what happened to Live@ today?

I can't find the video anywhere! I did see a link, but it took me to a blank image.

Brian, i never knew these things about you.... lovin BBQ, country music, lovin Andy G reruns, and being kind of an eclectic kinda guy,,,,, send me a comment and we can talk about HOLLERIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"How's THAT for a shameless plug?! :)" -- LOL! I'd do that if I could, but I don't use my cell phone much (especially not while in the truck). That's why I stick with the cheapest plan Sprint offers (no web, no texting, no cool stuff like that). My total usage last month was less than 10 minutes. How's that for cheap and anti-social? I do have the radio tuned to WRAL-FM, though, for the commute. At least I'm keeping it in the CBC family!

You forgot "Cute little traffic boy"! I'm sure that was meant as a compliment. You guys really hear a variety of comments, I'm sure.
