I'd estimate that ~99% of my listening is done off-line, and I'm usually several hours behind (although I'm currently two weeks behind at the moment). I listen whenever I have free time such as during my commutes and at the gym.<br /><br />I listen primarily for enjoyment, but if I hear something I find funny, I'll export it and throw it up on the UnTicket. KTCK has a great thing going where they will refer back to previous shows a lot, so you basically have to listen to just about every show to understand everything that's going on...and man, is it ever working on me!aphttp://www.theunticket.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-64594407764811658502011-02-25T10:56:17.053-06:002011-02-25T10:56:17.053-06:00I thought "Ya Wall" was Greggo speaking ...I thought "Ya Wall" was Greggo speaking German, i.e. "Jawohl," which means "affirmative."<br /><br />http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Jawohl<br /><br />-Anon B<br /><br />P.S.

I've heard about three instances where he's openly said something to the effect of "Make up your mind, do you want me to be a host, or do you want me to be a producer!"<br /><br />Usually, it happens when Mike/Corby is chastising Danny for not screening calls or booking last-minute guests (i.e. the Brett Shipp interview). This happens because Danny's time is spend on-air, which causes his producing duties to slide. It was even mentioned by someone on the Orphanage that Cumulus is getting a heck of a deal by 'paying Danny producer money for a host's position.'<br /><br />captcha='herprapo'aphttp://www.theunticket.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-42320895225383117452011-02-23T22:58:39.565-06:002011-02-23T22:58:39.565-06:00Don't worry, Mr. Plainsman.

Usually when he pulls that crap it's because Mike has checked out and Corby is struggling and into overdrive."<br /><br />I've been paying a little more attention to Danny since then and he seems upset when he feels the show is bogging down.<br /><br />Corby: My misgivings with Corby are well-documented, and while I think he's more yuck-monkey than co-host (like Jonaessa said above. Filling both shoes seems to make him not prepared to talk about topics for either roles), he <i>is</i> needed on The Hardline. I realized this during Super Bowl week: there isn't anyone else on the show who can do what he does in terms of doing bits with professional athletes. It takes a certain amount of gumption to carry on silly conversations with star players. In the last few months, TC (asking Dallas Mavericks the meaning of the word jovial) and Danny (asking athletes to say that crazy Zhu Zhu pets phrase) have tried it with little luck and unentertaining content. Funnily, Corby wasn't too happy with their efforts, either.AsianGirlWatchingAsianDramashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15435165794925160867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-4560464017772049702011-02-23T14:23:03.662-06:002011-02-23T14:23:03.662-06:00Unfortunately, I only started listening to the Tic...Unfortunately, I only started listening to the Ticket about six years ago. Greggo was still on (and I even caught a glimpse of him at a remote once). But it wasn't too long after that when Greggo was phoning it in and skipping it altogether. Not knowing too much about the chemistry on the showgram (I like that word as well, but mainly for lack of a better one), I thought Corby was great filling in. E-news has always been my favorite segment (though Muse in the News is slightly edging it out these days) and Corby my favorite personality. <br /><br />The more I listen, however, I wonder if Corby really is more of a Spinderella than a Salt or Pepa. Mike and Greg were the main attraction with Corby providing the background music. Now that he's been moved to lead vocals, I think he struggles a bit. The OverCorby may come from his feelings of inadequacy and desire to fill some pretty big shoes. (Yes, my exposure to Greg was limited, but I read and heard a lot to know that in his day, he was something.) I'm not trying to psychoanalyze Corby, but it's got to be tough to always be "on." He may be trying to prove to himself that he deserves his spot on the Hardline, and it isn't easy when there are articles and blogs like this that basically say he doesn't. (I love your blog.) <br /><br />I still enjoy the Hardline, but as the guys have changed, so has the material. Mike has a daughter in college, Corby has two ankle-biters, and Danny...well, Danny is still Danny. As they have evolved and (hopefully) matured, the bits have also changed. I miss Repro Man and inappropriate, offensive jokes at the expense of women. And to get back to your original point, I like knowing "What's on Mike's Mind" as long as I'm hearing it from Mike! Mike really sounds as if he's half-listening, half-sleeping during most segments so I look forward to the times when he's saying more than, "Mmm-hmmm. That's right," or "I think guns are good." I want Mike to be more of an active participant, but maybe he can't because Corby won't let him get a word in edgewise.Jonaessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02391716529404039791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-56652594784405231902011-02-23T10:56:20.901-06:002011-02-23T10:56:20.901-06:00I forget when or where I posted my daily schedule ...I forget when or where I posted my daily schedule of Ticket listening and why, but I will offer this on the HL and Corby. <br /><br />I think the HL fits perfectly in their time slot, mainly because, at that point in the day, I need to unwind and laugh. It is not a 100% likelihood that I will be amused, but more often than not, I am. Especially combining WTDS with the HL. <br /><br />That amusement has increased with Greggo gone and Corby on mic. Corby does have a tendency to take over, but like the Plainsman offered, I think this is more Mike driven. Mike can absolutely put Corby in his place, I have heard it many times when Corby was beginning to take over. I did not hear the segment, thanks travel dep't, but I suspect Mike was not overly interested. <br /><br />Overall, I think Corby is great. He can be too much, but, so can everyone.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02191154750195217700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-18047635530559247262011-02-23T10:17:31.994-06:002011-02-23T10:17:31.994-06:00Christy is by no means the only one with such a li...Christy is by no means the only one with such a license.
