They've found their groove. At least as much as they can, given their scant hours of airtime. They used to be ADHD personified. Letting their board op, Ticker man, and producer have the mic as much as they themselves. It was a cluster f*** to say the least. Add to it that their voices were almost indistinguishable from one another and they seemed to have Ben and Skin "We have to be funny at all times and will do so by constantly riffing on inside jokes that only we get" -itis. Thankfully they figured some things out and got much better. I think a lot of it has to do with them (I assume) conscious effort to stop finishing each others sentences and to bring out their own uniqueness instead of accentuating their sameness. Also, Machine and the rest of the gang are no longer co-hosting. The one thing CdS does better than any show on The Ticket is interviews. From day one they've been absolutely wonderful in that arena. Still are. They are prepared, concise both with their questions and followups, and have an ability to evoke the best out of their subject. Just outstanding work. In that regard I agree with you that they're different than the other shows. But in the main I think it's pretty standard Ticket fare. And why wouldn't it be? Better, why shouldn't be? The only show that's really different, and it goes out of its way to be as such, is Intentional Grounding. IMHO that show has run its course. It really has. Wilonsky has great pipes and Moore is super knowledgeable about the Cowboys. But the thing has no legs. Turn it into community programming. Cover everything DFW, and do it in an NPR way. Spend the first segment or two on the Cowboys if you must, then branch off.50sdoowopguynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-66722246732068609512013-12-22T21:41:32.762-06:002013-12-22T21:41:32.762-06:00The lack of cirque dry dock love is flat out distu...The lack of cirque dry dock love is flat out disturbing. imo those dudes do some stuff that is just different than all the rest.

Would like to see a reinstatement of The Two Minute Drill. Less music talk. None, zero, zilch Mike sex talk. More Danny. Less TMZ segments. More local-centric segments. A few, just a few more sports segments. More Mike taking the helm. Less Corby being forced to lead because of Mike's passivity. Finally, more, a lot more new Reagor-Dykes ads.

Ed has been courted for syndication for years now and won't bite. Personally he's become too libertarian on social issues for my tastes over the years, but his analysis of the oil industry and Wall Street and ICE (International Commodities Exchange) is freaking amazing. He makes a complicated, labyrinthine topics understandable. He does it with zero partisanship. <br /><br />Loved TSJ this week. I'm looking forward to the rest of their dry dock duty. Conversely, I'm not missing THL one red cent. Rhads and Moore were good on Friday. Rhads brought a little more than he usually does. He is a mic hog, for certain. Poor David could barely get a word in edgewise. The story about the chance meeting of Rhyner's daughter was a nice yarn. I have to find somewhere else to go for my mornings, as 5 hours of Norm is too bleeding much. I enjoy Norm to a point, I have a lot of respect for him, but I cannot take him for that period of time. <br /><br />All in all, with the JV as strong as it is these days, dry dock is no longer the total beating of a whip it once was. <br /><br />Addendum: Machine's voice sounds affected. No one sounds naturally that I don't give a rat's ass / laid back / to cool for school. That is a rehearsed and affected voice. An annoying one too boot. But. I do like Machine's HSOs.

Nothing worse than someone who has no idea as to what they're talking about, and yet says it with such authority. You must be a Corby starter kit, eh pal.

Choo has been a 4.5 WAR player for the last 4-5 years. In today's MLB economy, 1 win is worth ~$4.5 million. So, he actually is worth $18.5 million/yr. He could largely be a 5-6 WAR player in Texas, which would simply be a bonus.<br /><br />The deal will likely not be very attractive after 2018, but with no salary cap and a truckload of TV money coming, that simply shouldn't concern you or me.<br /><br />Plus, I hope this means that Nellie won't be returning.

He's definitely not worth that. His average is about .288 while he'll get you about 18 homers and drive in about 70. I would've rather seen them hold what they have or promote from within. Bad contract...just because he's the best available doesn't mean the Rangers have to go up and sign him. On the other side of the coin, I guess he'll be a decent lead off hitter, but for that money...T4 In Rockwallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06550624081817663889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-35839687853686816122013-12-21T09:49:32.799-06:002013-12-21T09:49:32.799-06:00I don't know why anyone would waste their morn...I don't know why anyone would waste their mornings on the crap that is Saturday Ticket programming when the great Ed Wallace is on KLIF giving you the skinny on why your paying what you are at the gas pump and why both pol parties are full of it.

Danny's done some outside VO work before; if memory serves, he did a spot for Baylor Medical in regards to the prostate gland. <br /><br />The "I'm having a stroke" guy ads have always tickled my curiosity. Does anyone who's suffering from a stroke have such a calm inner monologue, and who are these people that are just blankly staring at a stroke victim, writhing about on the ground? Do we need an ad for this?<br /><br />Loved TSJ, as usual, and Danny fit in unsurprisingly well. And as Dan Paul so succinctly put it, as he was being Twitter bombed, a 4 pointer is "tf-ing!" I enjoyed hearing an embarrassed Jake during all of the 4 pointer talk. <br /><br />More Shake Joint: Aside from the old timey strip club reference and the merging of the two hosts' names, a "shake joint" is also a marijuana cigarette comprised of the leftover pot sweepings commonly referred to as "shake."<br /><br />moment of silence for Dick Clark.pDubhttp://sofakingnews.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-76068333093868931862013-12-20T11:10:48.948-06:002013-12-20T11:10:48.948-06:00yes, Shake = Sean + Jake
