Turd, the Bartender
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Turd the Bartender, (real name Jeff Renzetti), is a radio broadcaster, and one of the original cohorts on the nationally syndicated morning drive radio show Mancow's Morning Madhouse. Renzetti is a Chicagoland native and lifelong resident of that city's South Side. Renzetti is married to wife Laura Renzetti and is of Italian (more specifically of Sicilian) descent.
Renzetti was discovered at Pauly's Pub in South Chicago Heights by soon-to-be radio personality Mancow Muller as a bartender. Muller soon brought him onto the show as a sidekick and stuntman to perform wild stunts over the airwaves of Rock 103.5 and Q101 at the whim of Muller and his listeners. Renzetti is also a graduate of the Illinois Center for Broadcasting. Over the years, he established himself as one of the most central and popular cohorts of Muller.
In July of 2006, after twelve years of service on Muller's morning show, Renzetti left due to personal issues. It should be noted that this is the second time Turd has deserted Mancow, as he also left the show in early 2001 for a brief period. Renzetti has appeared with former Mancow cohort Wally "Freak" Kozielski on Freak's afternoon radio show on WRXQ-FM (100.7) in Joliet, IL, between 2-7 PM central time. Renzetti has started to appear on Mancow's former homebase station Q101 with Ryan Manno from 12-6 AM central time. It is rumored that Renzetti will be a DJ on the Chicago classic rock station 97.9 "The Loop".
