A home for those who love almost everything about The Ticket (1310 AM, 96.7 FM, Dallas-Fort Worth), and who would like to discuss -- respectfully and fondly -- their thoughts on how (and whether) to eliminate the "almost."
Well, okay, things got better in the comments to the last post.
Still not great. I should have booted some snark, but I let it go.
I remind you that among the things that will get the heave-ho are entries that are excessively precious or incomprehensible, or choked with allusions and initializations that make sense to maybe the Confessor and two of his friends.
Not monitoring yet, but it remains a possibility.
Thanks for keeping the personal jabs at a minimum, except for those who don't.
Thomas Charles Fleming was a long-time Cumulus/Ticket employee who held a variety of positions, from overnight board op to Ticker Man. He also hosts a popular podcast called It’s Just Banter with another former Cumulus/Ticket employee named Jacob Kemp. “TC” currently also works for DLLS in video production. He is well-loved by many here so not sure why you think everybody hates him. He is a real grinder.
Glad you enjoy our pod. I'd do more epis, but I'm too busy concerning myself with false narratives, spreading lies, and in general picking up where I left off in high school. Yeah. I'm THAT guy.
Are you there, George? It's me, Dan. I fucked up, man. What was I thinking? I'm busting my ass hustling advert and trying to keep the content, ya know, actually creative. Meanwhile, The Golden Parachute is busy burning down the Dragon's Den. George, I gotta get out of this mess. I was such a fool. Help me, George Dunham, you're my only hope. (P.S. Call Cat)
As compared to what? Reddit? The place you go for mods and admins to invent then disseminate falsehoods that are eagerly slathered up and spread further by their commenters, and finally by public figures. And no one ever even hints at a "Got that wrong." Where you just pretend like it never happened, at best; or pull a version of the god of the gaps where you implicitly claim psychic abilities and just "know" the baseless bullsh is true. How about Ticket reddit shut down instead.
The owner removing comments on a thread that was started yesterday proves otherwise about him not caring. Maybe Ticket Reddit where you can complain about the Ticket all day or say you no longer listen but somehow always have something to say about the product you claim to no longer listen to is more your speed.
Ha! I love the TSS hate. They have driven me away from The Ticket after lunch. I'd love to hear old Greggo describe just how spare they are. Or Bob tell us just how empty their bag is.
Hot take from Reddit: They’re preparing us for the first AI show
Yes! And C will go on and on how the ratings are just not that bad and how much they are billing. And damn, they don't have to pay three salaries!
I don't mind the TSS. It's not the Hang Zone or BAD Radio. It's less than 2 hours a day and has some decent segments. The ones I don't care for, I skip. But here's the thing, you don't have to get it. You are not in charge of Ticket programming, a thing that's very difficult for Reddit to get its hateful, entitled mind around. You are there to either listen to the show or listen to something else. The ratings are decent so it will stay on the air. But the constant bashing is why I hope Reddit continues to be tortured by it. They have options, still they do nothing but endlessly complain about something no one is forcing them to listen to. But then it wouldn't be the irritainment they just can't stop talking and thinking about.
I guess I should write an essay like your buddy on Reddit. I like the show. It's not the Hang Zone or BAD but it's fine for my given it's two hours. I don't feel the need to drone on and on about its shortcomings. I wish they could use Monty more but it's a decent mix of sports and entertainment. The great thing is it should be around for a while which will piss off people like you and Reddit. That's a win in my book.
I'm sorry that I exactly answered the question you exactly asked. Specific moments? Did you need specific dates of segments or particular NIT breaks I enjoyed? I loved their Rangers World Series coverage as the only show that seemingly acts like the area has a baseball team, their parade coverage, their segments on Monty's cancer, their play by play nutkicking of Ham, and the Worst Day of the Year segments with Junior. There's 5 or would you like me to keep going so you can have some sort of vindication? Or is it fine if I enjoy something that you may not? I know the Reddit way is to hate something but also make it so everyone else has to also hate it for you to feel fulfilled.
That's not an HSO. It's nonsensical. You love that you hate TSS and can no longer listen middays, and that you'd dig on hearing idiot GW "rip" them. The same GW who fd up af went to Twitter and ape s calling the late E Gossage a pedo. And then wrap it up in a "go on with your ratings" bow of a, uh, force field. OK, man.
The ratings track side by sude, often exceeding THZ. But don't let that get in your way. The demanding others to lust things for you only speaks to your immaturity.
Don't forget to add, Dap, about bullying 'em into an opinion, lie to you die about a situation or person(s) until mass hysteria ensues. A month later, not a single shred of proof. Nothing. But there's brave Jake with his up fucks and risible self righteousness. TC and his thin skinned, myopic, childish, eternal whining. Sirois and Danny with their "speculations", ie, pathetic grabs for views and for the attention of an already small and ever shrinking audience seeking dirt--real or invented (guess which type is most prevalent). Shameful. Try delivering something other than a late middle aged piss poor version of Wayne's World. Wayne's World was a f'n skit.
I"m in the camp that thinks TSS is fine too. I have made comments and gotten the same reactions as well of "Fine???? That's quite the compliment!!!" Ya, i'm not saying it's the greatest show ever, but I don't lose any sleep over it. TSS is fine to me, I actually did not like THZ so there's that.
It's not just that they hate it and can't understand the appeal of a less than 2 hour midday show they don't actively have to listen to. It's that you also cannot enjoy anything they do not like. It's such strange behavior. People can like what they like. Why the need to constantly berate something that you claim no longer matters to you is something I'll just never get. I don't listen to DZ or Cirque at all. I don't feel the need to bash them. We all are free to make our own choices. They certainly all did.
How about they're going to be employed for a while and it's great that it annoys you. Maybe start another outrage thread on Reddit about how much it angers you that a spare midday show replaced your favorites who chose to leave the station. Oh they could've gotten someone else. You would've hated them too.
The asthma field is Reddit because it's full of tired whining.
I maybe missed two segments a week in the Bad Radio days... Now, I (literally, wink) never listen to 10-3... And what I've learned is that my non-participation has had zero effect on the ratings...
The people on Reddit sub need to remember that the opposite of love isn't hate - it's indifference.
Them annuities getting on your nerves, TraTra? Maybe a bate sesh will do ya right. I suggest a pic of Greenspan cir. '97 as material. Either that or a current live shot of Lita Ford. Bitch can still rock the spandex like a champ. Fupa is preggers black widow-esque. Top shelf jaccin.
Latest CdS is something else. Those dudes are pathetic. Siroises have always been opportunistic grifters with an insatiable thirst for attention and fame. Danny, on the other hand. . . I contend that at some point he will wake up from this gutter ball stupor and think, "What have I done? Who have I become?"
Saw it. The Mod A and Mod B shirts. More Cat / Ticket talk. Agree. It saddens me. For some, getting older is very difficult. Realizing you're no longer looked to or looked at as you once were can be a bitter pill to swallow. Sometimes the reaction to it manifests in rather unattractive, even destructive ways. I think with CdS and a few others, we're seeing this unfortunate phenomenon played out before our very eyes.
Thing that has become slightly tedious lately on the Ticket:
Sensible comments by a host (for example, Bob or George) that outrage culture is out of control, that the worst voices on the Internet are being amplified in wild disproportion to their importance, etc...
Here comes O-deck/ Enews where Gordon and Davey read mean tweets from these same people... Usually from right of center people, cuz, you know...
Well, okay, things got better in the comments to the last post.

you think that was BETTER? It was utter nonsense and trolling
ReplyDeleteSay, Tim, that's unfair. I think you're failing to see the strides I've made.

DeleteWhat are your 5 favorite Sweet Spot segments of their 2+ years on air
DeleteRent Free, NIT Break, Monty News, The Campus Visit with Shahan, and actual Rangers segments.
DeleteSorry, I meant specific moments, not just the name of their regular segments
