Instead of catching the Soulpatch show via the internet stream, my recording setup snagged three and a half hours of Yahoo! sports. I have it on impeccable authority that TuneIn radio listeners were able to catch the show though, as were regular terrestrial listeners. Did anyone else notice this? It was especially interesting because Y! was playing an ad for a website called "firestone.xxx" where the SoulPatch open normally plays. Thought Matt and Scot had sold their Soul(patch)es to the devil in exchange for some sponsorship for a second.aphttp://www.theunticket.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-84375504677638093902012-04-23T13:59:10.165-05:002012-04-23T13:59:10.165-05:00I'm offended by people being offended.

Because if they do, they'll be considered small minded, people who don't get it, or conservative prudes. I for one won't be filing a complaint. But I find it offensive. I know Matt and Scot and most likely the readers and host of this blog do not care what I have to say. Yet I'll say it again, I find the name offensive. I do like the show that Matt and Scot put out. Can't you be a bit more creative? Or better yet, maybe a bit more general? That's one of our society's problems: everyone thinks they have to standout in some special way. Why not just say what it is you do? And then do it in a fantastic way? Why not?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-21400407526194778432012-04-22T07:25:12.194-05:002012-04-22T07:25:12.194-05:00Mornin' Plainsman,

Thankfully both middle aged white males and Catholics, in general, can take it. So while I think the name change is a lateral move (sorry, it's one bad name replacing another), if the show is solid, then I could care less. I think both Scot and Matt get stronger each week. I really appreciate their self-deprecating sense of humor and how you just *know* that they *know* their place on the station food chain, and act in accordance. That's not the case with everyone. I'll be tuning in tomorrow...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-51807384951585025232012-04-21T15:28:59.164-05:002012-04-21T15:28:59.164-05:00Thanks for writing, Scot.

I may repost as a featured post with your kind permission, as it touches on a fairly major branding item for the station. <br /><br />Got no issue with the name, if Catholics don't start boycotting the station, since you are on during church drive. It is very faintly redolent of "Richie and Greggo Extravaganza," and I assume there is a hint of parody in the new name, in which case I approve even more heartily.The Plainsmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09312877844275731926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-38235280004934265982012-04-21T11:34:06.885-05:002012-04-21T11:34:06.885-05:00We approached management about a name change right...We approached management about a name change right after the new year. The Soul Patch was so named for the obvious reason that both JJT and I have them. When he left it was generally agreed that in the interest of branding it would be better to leave the name the same. (despite the fact the Matt couldn't grow a soul patch if a gun was put to his head).<br /><br />We came up with the name after dozens of ideas were developed, reworked, and rejected. We asked for ideas from people we respected but eventually The Matt and Scot Spectacular or Sunday MaSS, separated itself from the rest - "testing" best among those who were consulted both inside and outside the Ticket studios as well as inside and outside of the radio business. <br /><br />We accept the fact that many of you will hate it or at least dislike it strongly (as it was with The Soul Patch moniker), many will approve (so far the trend on twitter), and some who just want to have their weekend Ticket fix won't be bothered either way. We're just pleased that you guys care enough to discuss our goofy little Sunday morning show and that you would take the time to complain/compliment. <br /><br />So, triple fake Scot Harrison says pour one out for the Soul Peettcchh!!
