I like the show. Pman likes the show. A lot of us like it. It's the end of the line, last gasp for what was once the most insane, smart, shocking, insightful, and compelling Ticket program: The Rant. Davy is "all" that's left of that legacy. I hate to but have to admit that The Orphanage has mostly run its course. Yes it still has its moments of greatness. Rare as they are--nearly as rare as an actual airing of an Orphanage show these past several months. I do believe it's time to give the precious airtime over to a JV team. Let's see if we have another MaSS or CdS or SJ in the making. I absolutely love Davy and Danny. Davy will forever be to me Gen X Davy Lane. And Danny is Danny. The cool guy that everyone wants to have as a best bud. But as an old PD used to say "It's time, buddy, it's time." That's the Wild Irish Laddy for those who don't know to whom I'm referring.<br /><br />Fact is, the show airs less and less. Danny has is fingers in about a dozen pies. Davy has a wife, kids, a mortgage, and a full time gig outside The Ticket that pays the bills. What's more is that when they do make it on the air, it just isn't that good anymore. It has its moments of greatness still, like I said, but mostly it's an unprepared mess that is more lazy than fly by the seat of your pants. The latter can evince radio gold, the former not so much. Plus, the "We don't give a s, we suck, the show sucks" bit is really played out and dated. <br /><br />So if you're out there Cat and/or Rich, give those two hours to some JV guys and let's see what they got. Let The Orphanage go out with some semblance of what passes for grace. A new leaf needs to be turned over. It's time, buddy. It's time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-65457045907775823062013-11-23T16:33:16.493-06:002013-11-23T16:33:16.493-06:00No Orphanage again today.No Orphanage again today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-1794760372886859392013-11-22T15:42:08.425-06:002013-11-22T15:42:08.425-06:00Agree with commenters: The Ticket has done a real...Agree with commenters: The Ticket has done a really nice job with Kennedy Week.

In the past, he's just seemed like a LHO nut, but he has been awesome this week.

Now why he did it is another subject.T4 In Rockwallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06550624081817663889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-68957677353813656592013-11-21T21:49:33.444-06:002013-11-21T21:49:33.444-06:00@ the last Anon...Ehhhh.

If you don't, you don't have a normal job. Ours is just not on the air at the time.<br /><br />@ pDub, dude, you sound like someone who's been listening a long time, and if I remember correct it hasn't been but a couple of years. It's nice to hear your banter on here. A little bit of a Gordo atmosphere. I like it.<br /><br />BTW, Gordo was killing it last night at the GNO. I was driving home and laughing hysterically a couple of time and I wasn't drinking. Poor Donnie just doesn't have it. I think he has a small part of the Ticket in him, but it's like he tries too hard most times. <br /><br />Anyway Pman, when the times appropriate, please start up a Ticketstock thread. Like I said previously, I haven't been to such an event and would like to see comments on those who have and what to expect coming from the P1. We hear it from the hosts throughout the next week, but I want a first hand perspective. I'm getting a group of 5 or 6 of guys and we're gonna all go for the first time...looking forward to it.T4 In Rockwallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06550624081817663889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-36452547878596693172013-11-21T21:40:24.668-06:002013-11-21T21:40:24.668-06:00I've also really enjoyed Gordo's O-deck Ke...I've also really enjoyed Gordo's O-deck Kennedy presentation this week.

One thing I've lear...Damn, I love this thread!<br /><br />One thing I've learned from reading this site is that the P1 comes in many shapes and sizes. I'm under 30. My dad started listening in '95, and I learned about the little Ticket from him. I know about the Overcusser because of this man. Now, he's in his sixties, still loves sports and HSOs just as much as ever, but yet he claims that he doesn't have the patience for all the jack assery of 1310 anymore. <br /><br />That's one example of how stuff changes over twenty years. That was as snarky as I'll get.<br /><br />The ticket has created its own culture that transcends age, ethnicity, or whatever gizmo you consume sports talk through.<br /><br />That culture has been built brick by brick over twenty long years. The D1P1s are part of it and second generation p1's like me are part it. <br /><br />THL and Musers began it, someone will continue it, and probably after we're all dead, someone will end it. <br /><br />I found this blog in part, because several of my twenty something friends -- who tune in regularly -- don't want to constantly discuss the minutiae that usually gets some expert dissection here.<br /><br />I agree that this blog skews a bit old. I also think it skews a bit higher education, and it skews TicketNerd, enthusiast, slightly obsessive, whatever. That's why I love it. <br /><br />I'm a dude that grew up on Stone's 'JFK'; I loved to believe all of the conspiracies theories. I haven't researched the subject enough to speak on it myself; however, Gordon (and Pman and those like them) have me feeling pretty confident in this lone gunman theory. Gordon has probably taught me more about the subject than anyone else. <br /><br />Anyway, this site is awesome. It's living proof that the P1 is diverse creature indeed and its influence is vast.<br /><br />Stay Hard ladies and gentsp Dubhttp://sofakingnews.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-36302634966857979842013-11-20T10:08:16.945-06:002013-11-20T10:08:16.945-06:00I visited the Musers remote early this morning.
