Vic Jacobs

Victor Jacobs (born December 12)..aka "Vick the Brick" is a member of the Loose Cannons radio sports talk show on XTRA 570 KLAC. He appears on the show weekly with co-hosts Steve Hartman and former Los Angeles Laker Mychal Thompson. He can also frequently be heard throughout the day during commercial breaks on the station providing sports updates. He got his start in broadcasting doing cockfights in Guam, back in 1979.

Eccentric Personality

Vic is often mocked by fellow radio personalities and audience members because of his odd personality quirks. He has an enormous collection of hats (alot of them fur/mink) that he wears on the air along with other fur articles of clothing he can be seen wearing at home Laker games. He wears his hair long and usually out or in a ponytail. He also has a large walrus mustache and muttonchops. He's been credited for many popular local Los Angeles catch phrases, of which the most frequently used is "Feeling You!" that can be heard repeatedly by audience members who call into the show. Feeling You! is meant to represent Jacobs' allegiance with the fans of the city of Los Angeles, mainly ones of the Lakers, Dodgers and Oakland Raiders. Feeling You! is one of the many unique and original approaches Jacobs takes to sports radio. A lot of this can probably be attributed to the fact that Jacobs grew up in Queens, New York City, he also graduated Cornell University, and brings that kind of flavor and attitude to broadcasting. He frequently waxes poetic on the air, with an urban style to his syntax, and will even throw out a haiku once in awhile on the air as well. On the flip side, he is also largely critized by audience members for not having a biased opinion when it comes to discussions concerning the Lakers..in particular Laker star Kobe Bryant. Many listeners as a result have been labeling Jacobs a "Laker Homer", and he is also notorious for flip flopping local Los Angeles teams, giving allegiance to the Los Angeles Clippers when it looked as if they were to surge further than the Lakers in the 2006 NBA Playoffs.

Lead Singer

Jacobs also fronts Meshugganahs With Attitude, a rock and roll band, which appeared on 2006's Chabad Telethon locally in Los Angeles. Jacobs and the band doing the Chambers Brothers Time Has Come Today and their rendition of In The Midnight Hour (renamed In The Mitzvah Hour to fit the gist of the band) on the telethon, can be glimpsed on You Tube.

Trivia

Jacobs appeared as himself with fellow Loose Cannons co-host Steve Hartman (who also played himself) on the CBS sitcom Yes Dear in the episode entitled The Limo which originally aired on February 1, 2006.
