Short Refresh: Why the Obsession with Claiming former Ticket Guys are Trolls on this Site?
What's the point? There are a couple of claimed culprits I don't know -- please stop using initials -- with one exception I like all the former Ticket guys. I'm flattered that they think this site is influential enough (it isn't) that they are making some kind of useful point by posting here.
While some claim to have positive proof that one or another commenter is one or another former Ticket guy, it's usually by reference to some Twitter BS that remains undisclosed, and would, in any event, be circumstantial. You got some goods on who's who, let's have 'em.
SITE REPORT: I agree with those who have noted that the comments on the site have sunk to pre-warning levels. However, for the time being, given my schedule it's easier to plunk DELETE COMMENT than to review comments in advance. That could change.
I have no plans to discontinue this site, and, in fact, my Ticket listening has increased lately, so hope to have some STDs (Scorching Ticket Disquisitions) for the site in the near future.
Guys. YET AGAIN. I'm here apologizing for demanding from others what I never deliver myself. Maxima mea culpa. Might be time to change therapists, as I keep doing the same unproductive things. Darn it all to heck!
To answer your question, along with certain reddit folk (including the admin BK Harmony who has trolled MTC from its early days), there absolutely are ex-Ticket employees trolling this place. I know because a many have admitted to it either directly or obliquely. You'd be surprised how many public names engage in the pettiest , lowest hanging fruit of online behavior. Most do it anonymously, some don't. While never being my kind of guy, I will give a tip of the hat to Sam Hale for actually using his name whenever he's thrown in his two cents. At least he owns his stuff.
See! I can't even reply in the proper place! DOH!!!!! Here's my bowed knee from above:
Guys. YET AGAIN. I'm here apologizing for demanding from others what I never deliver myself. Maxima mea culpa. Might be time to change therapists, as I keep doing the same unproductive things. Darn it all to heck!
Sorry guys. Dunno. Doc called 'em TIAs. Mini strokes, in layman's terms. Sorry about all that crap above. This is the real Zulu. And yes, I keep putting my foot in my mouth by dint of saying poorly formed snarky shit that in reality is more aligned to a 4th grade reading/comprehension level. Well, f me runnin'! Dammit!
You may well be seeing more "mature reds." There are many AI fakes in Google image searches for comely redheads, but they tend to be younger women; I try to avoid them. And you'd be amazed that I've used up hundreds of non-AI images of gingers that are available -- it wasn't long ago I accidentally repeated one.
I'm hoping to cast my net a bit wider and keep it real, y'know?
Seriously, in what world does any Ticket listener even think about Sam Hale anymore, let alone care what he has to say or whether he’s trolling here? If he’s actually posting here, why would it matter? I don’t get why anyone would even care enough to be bothered by it. If he ever even registered on listeners’ radar in the slightest, it was a long time ago.
Then why ate you here? It's just a sports talk station. Why would you seek out, much less invest your time reading and commenting on it. Ditto to you, Plainsman inre your follow up. Then what was the purpose of MTC lo these closing in on 20 years?
@nDaC: Not sure I understand your point. I'm trying to reduce the non-substantive content here consisting of many comments opining that some Confessors are former Ticket guys, which implies that those commenters continue to care a lot about what guys like Sam Hale thinks and does. And I was agreeing with @Your Dollas and Sense Minute that investing all this commentary about a guy who had a cup of coffee with The Ticket years ago seems unproductive.
Based on what evidence? That’s the question. I know I’ve posted plenty of times and the same troll calls me Sam nearly every time. It’s just really stupid at this point.
To Yberra's OG post. You're right about people you'd never think would engage in certain online behaviors in fact do. I've been work friends with a person for over a decade. Two weeks ago for the first time we had a few beers after work. The guy always cane off as smart, level headed, no nonsense, married with two kids, and like me a little left of center on sociopolitical issues. About an hour into it he begins to open up about his burner accounts, his years of trolling comment sections and Twitter/X (politics), and the various conspiracy theories he buys into. For example, he was constantly checking his socials that night because he was convinced Trump had died 4 days earlier. If you would've told me he engaged in such things prior to our night out, I would've said you're wrong, he's not like that, and besides, what would he gain by it? Makes zero sense. It doesn't. Yet he absolutely does, and spends a lot if time doing it. Upshot is it wouldn't surprise me a bit if ex and current Ticket hosts and support staff troll MTC.
I don't know if i like the podcast, i'm still listening, but i'm not really paying attention, it feels like for the first 10 podcasts all they did was cry and since then i don't find the material as compelling. Hopefully they have better topics that start grabbing my attention.
Hey KNoem, Once you make all your money from the Texit coin, you can go back to Trajan and they will give you a 30 percent bonus out of thin air. What a deal.
I mentioned this a few weeks back, did the research then promptly forgot to circle back and post it. Ladies and gentlemen of the MTC jury, I present to you the case of Dan McDowell, not that great. The evidence? In the first 2 years of THZ, D&J ranged anywhere from 1st to 7th, with an average rating over 24 months of 3.33. Specifically, 3 firsts, 3 seconds, 9 thirds, 4 fourths, a fifth, 3 sixths and a 7th. Compare to TSS. In their first 2 years, they ranged from 1st to 11th, with an average rating over 24 months of 3.25. Specially 5 firsts, 5 seconds, 7 3rds, 2 fourths, 3 fifths, and an 8th and 11th. So higher highs for the SS, 17 top 3 finishes, versus 15 for THZ. And while the sweet spot had lower lows, the 8 and the 11th, that was the July and August ratings of 2024, their first full summer on air, pre football, summer doldrums, etc. so why do I think McDowell is not thst great. TSS is a hard listen. They’re not great, sometimes they’re not even good. Yet they’re still getting better ratings than a guy who’d been in that daypart for 20 years. Sure it was a new show w Dan and Jake, but they had the McDowell continuity factor. Head to head comparing each shows firST 2 years month to month TSS had better ratings in 10 months, THZ better in 8 months, and tied in 6 months. I’ll tell you, I don’t think TSS is a great show, but what does it say when 2 guys who have never done a full time show together, 2 guys who weren’t full time hosts, get better ratings (even if just marginally better) than a guy who’s held that shift for 20 years and his hand picked producer turned co-host. Like I said, it screams to be that Bob was the draw of BAD radio, and Dan McDowell, not that great. C
Yeah, un, you're leaving out The Norm and Donnie and current versions of The Invasion. So there is no meaningful correlation between Muser and either HZ or SS numbers. But don't let that get in the way of a good old fashioned self pat on the back. And just to head you off at the pass, The OG Invasion garnered its best numbers during THZ 's run, while v 2.0 has been up and down--which only further buttresses C's analysis.
I’m not sure where Porung is going with this. Both shows THZ and TSS underperform the Musers and the Hardline. What correlation I see relates to midday ratings being a skosh lower than AM. In other words if the Musers have a 10 share, THZ or TSS have a 7 or 8. If the Musers have a 15 share, THZ or TSS probably have a 12 share. I didn’t notice any month where THZ outperformed the Musers. And that’s kind of my point. The new show that by most accounts sucks, has ratings comparable to the show from the guy who’s spent 20 years in that daypart. Dan McDowell, not that great. C
So their theory is that the ticket is more popular now, without THZ on the station, then they were when THZ was on the station? And that TSS’s ratings can be attributed to higher overall station ratings that improved when THZ was no longer on the station? Not kidding about copium, they add what Reddit calls a pedo and 2 guys who Redditors claim are incompetents who prove the Peter principle, and yet they’re more popular than old man Norm and THZ. C
Funny how The Hive always demands proof, for others to do the research, ever on the offensive, always accusatory, always quick with the cocky sniff smartest douche in the room latest meme answer. Until they're asked to put up or shut up with actual data, to show they have a modicum of an understanding of how business works in the teal world, etc. Then. Well, crickets. lool.
You forgot to add: Back up damning claims about others with even a single shred of evidence. That's never given, either. Sinking ships bring out desperation.
Good work C minus. If you don't know though, the DZ groupies just reply with "ratings don't matter" "ratings don't equal quality" "the way ratings are measured is not accurate." All very well may be true, but were seldom brought up prior to the departure.
If ratings don’t matter, why did Jake agree to ratings bonuses in his contract. The contract is floating around on line, paragraph 4.2 and appendix A specifies how much (redacted) they’ll receive for 1st or 2nd place finishes in the target demographic. Weird that it doesn’t matter AND had a material impact on how much Dan and Jake made. And while THZ/TDZ supporters may argue that they way they are measured isn’t accurate, both Dan and Jake believed in the accuracy enough to have part of their compensation rely on the accuracy/inaccuracy of those ratings. And a side note, TSS has had more 1s and 2s in demo than THZ( 10 to 6) so why they may be cheaper, if the contracts are similar, TSS is earning more ratings bonuses than THZ did.
completely false. they made a comment about how dangerous this move is. being concerned about the government forcing companies to silence speech didn't used to be considered "woke"
At the risk of setting up a strawman here (I didn't hear the segment in question): if by "government forcing companies to silence speech" you mean the employers who are firing people for cheering Kirk's murder, that is what is false. You can say whatever the heck you want, just be prepared to deal with the societal consequences. Nobody is being locked up (yet*) for being a soulless ghoul.
*I say "yet" because If you are referring to Pam Bondi's comments about targeting "hate speech" (for which she should have been fired yesterday), that's something else entirely - and has nothing to do with private employers not fostering hostile work environments.
The FCC Chair went on a f'ing podcast and threatened ABC/Disney and Nexstar. Nexstar is seeking a multi billion $ merger that will require FCC approval. the FCC Chair made threats and within hours Kimmel was pulled from the air. Can bury your head in the sand however, this is clearly the government making threats and big business complying. Much like when Paramount was exhorted for millions while they were seeking a merger with Skydance. None of this is normal. And if you think it ends here you haven't been paying attention.
Considering we recently ended a four year run of Auto Pen and rule by, well, no one knows for sure, yeah, none of this is normal. Makes me miss the old days of Barry Choomba Gang and Booze and Coke No More Dubya Bush.
don't know how many of you visit the ticket reddit site but whoever moderates the site has become drunk with power. conversation about the musers comments this morning during muse in the news (thought the site was there to comment about ticket segments among other things regardless of the topic of the ticket guys talk about it I would think that would be open for comment) mod makes threats. comments made about mod threats and mod bans people. exchanged messages with one person banned for pointing out mod hypocrisy. sure I will get dog piled for this but if you're considering visiting the ticket reddit page I'd advise against it. pretty ridiculous what's happened. Stay hard free speech.
bkharmony has been banning people because some guys have been failing to follow the “no politics” rule since Charlie was shot. The Kimmel news was the last straw for him. He is not on a power trip.
Also honey, it’s a subreddit. You have no free speech.
That's pretty rich coming from BK Harmony. The same moron who on that very subreddit ignited a firestorm of lies, still to this day unproven accusations (i.e., more lies), claims of having evidence which has never been provided (more lying), physical threats, taunting others to sue him...all against public figures while hiding behind a wall of anonymity, all in service if trying to ruin others' lives.
Subreddit about The Ticket 1310 AM. Discuss a segment on The Ticket 1310 AM that fascist mod doesn't like get banned. Ticket AM tag line "sports and ALL THAT IMPLIES" they did a segment about "ALL THAT IMPLIES" discuss said segment and get banned. Got it. Give MTC credit as long as it's good faith conversation or comments seems to be ok. Not on the reddit page. Kinda sucks.
Well, to take it back to the vanilla issues on the station, there has been a lot of talk about the El Conquistador ride being silenced at Six Flags. Not withstanding Davey's (and some of Gordo's) sexual references. There are many reasons this ride was so popular.
It was a coming of age ride! When you finally got past the mini-mine train ride and the other "have to be this tall" (around 3' 6" IIRC). It was when you KNEW(!) you, as a child, were growing out of the kiddie rides. It was your first "big kid" ride experience. It was also one the whole family could enjoy. Your nana or papa, this is the only one they would ride.
And also to follow up on The Rant tonight about outgrowing roller coasters. About 4 years ago, in San Antonio's Fiesta Texas, at 7:00 pm, I knew there would never be another time in my life that my ass would be over my head.
I may call this in to the help line.
And to the board ops: about the story about the guy with the hammer at Fedex? A Greggo drop would have been totally appropriate (who? me?). More questions about this in my next post.
I feel like it has been a while since the ticket had a commercial that was a much a beating as the GoGo Gecko commercial. It is both somehow trying to be overly cute and overly serious at the same time. It makes me want to pull my lower lip over my head.
considering the amount of complaining that occured when the Musers cut hours, but also retained the 6:40 repeat segment, it's kinda funny no one has commented about them using that segment for new post-Cowboys content on mondays. I think today was the 2nd or 3rd time and certainly the current state of the team makes for an easy and high interest segment.
He's def gotta new hairline. Lemme get this straight: Dum dums trade away faux Reggie Lawrence Haley. If he was on any other team he'd a been graded as the player he really is, but it's fun to shit on Jerry. And it is. The Pack is favored by a gillion. Even if GB wins, it's far better than what was expected. But you find it difficult to fathom why Mr Me Too would be saying positive things about the Cows. Typical blinkered NFL fan.
Should’ve been intentional grounding on Dak of course refs don’t call it fix is in for cowboys GB clearly better team Dallas defense sucks GB just playing with their food tonight
Look a like someone livin in yo head rent free. Hoooooo boi!!!! Sad Sack, I mean Pack, gonna be lucky ta be a wildcard team. Ya boys suck. Tying this crap Dallas team. Too funny!!!!
Sorry, dude. That's not playing with food. That's being exposed two weeks in a row as a front runner. Looks like Micah brought that Dallas entitlement attitude with him to GB and GB and its fanbase has bought into it.
What's the point? There are a couple of claimed culprits I don't know -- please stop using initials -- with one exception I like all the former Ticket guys. I'm flattered that they think this site is influential enough (it isn't) that they are making some kind of useful point by posting here.

DeleteI mentioned this a few weeks back, did the research then promptly forgot to circle back and post it.
ReplyDeleteLadies and gentlemen of the MTC jury, I present to you the case of Dan McDowell, not that great.
The evidence? In the first 2 years of THZ, D&J ranged anywhere from 1st to 7th, with an average rating over 24 months of 3.33.
Specifically, 3 firsts, 3 seconds, 9 thirds, 4 fourths, a fifth, 3 sixths and a 7th.
Compare to TSS. In their first 2 years, they ranged from 1st to 11th, with an average rating over 24 months of 3.25.
Specially 5 firsts, 5 seconds, 7 3rds, 2 fourths, 3 fifths, and an 8th and 11th. So higher highs for the SS, 17 top 3 finishes, versus 15 for THZ. And while the sweet spot had lower lows, the 8 and the 11th, that was the July and August ratings of 2024, their first full summer on air, pre football, summer doldrums, etc.
so why do I think McDowell is not thst great. TSS is a hard listen. They’re not great, sometimes they’re not even good. Yet they’re still getting better ratings than a guy who’d been in that daypart for 20 years. Sure it was a new show w Dan and Jake, but they had the McDowell continuity factor.
Head to head comparing each shows firST 2 years month to month TSS had better ratings in 10 months, THZ better in 8 months, and tied in 6 months.
I’ll tell you, I don’t think TSS is a great show, but what does it say when 2 guys who have never done a full time show together, 2 guys who weren’t full time hosts, get better ratings (even if just marginally better) than a guy who’s held that shift for 20 years and his hand picked producer turned co-host.
Like I said, it screams to be that Bob was the draw of BAD radio, and Dan McDowell, not that great.

DeleteWell, to take it back to the vanilla issues on the station, there has been a lot of talk about the El Conquistador ride being silenced at Six Flags. Not withstanding Davey's (and some of Gordo's) sexual references. There are many reasons this ride was so popular.
ReplyDeleteIt was a coming of age ride! When you finally got past the mini-mine train ride and the other "have to be this tall" (around 3' 6" IIRC). It was when you KNEW(!) you, as a child, were growing out of the kiddie rides. It was your first "big kid" ride experience. It was also one the whole family could enjoy. Your nana or papa, this is the only one they would ride.
And also to follow up on The Rant tonight about outgrowing roller coasters. About 4 years ago, in San Antonio's Fiesta Texas, at 7:00 pm, I knew there would never be another time in my life that my ass would be over my head.
I may call this in to the help line.
And to the board ops: about the story about the guy with the hammer at Fedex? A Greggo drop would have been totally appropriate (who? me?). More questions about this in my next post.
Admiration
DeleteYesterday's Rant Revival was damn funny. Laughed out loud several times. It felt like the old rant days listening to those guys talk roller coasters.

ReplyDeleteTopical
DeleteI feel like it has been a while since the ticket had a commercial that was a much a beating as the GoGo Gecko commercial. It is both somehow trying to be overly cute and overly serious at the same time. It makes me want to pull my lower lip over my head.
ReplyDeleteTexit Coin is making a strong push.
DeleteHelpful
DeleteThat should be the subject of Trajan Troll's next series of posts
DeleteThoughtful
DeleteKars for Cash has something to say about that.
Deleteconsidering the amount of complaining that occured when the Musers cut hours, but also retained the 6:40 repeat segment, it's kinda funny no one has commented about them using that segment for new post-Cowboys content on mondays. I think today was the 2nd or 3rd time and certainly the current state of the team makes for an easy and high interest segment.
ReplyDeleteI only knew about it because people on reddit mentioned it. So, kinda weird that you're saying no one has commented on it

DeleteCongrats to former Cumulus employee Jacob Kemp in being named Best Sports Media Personality by The Observer
ReplyDeleteThe Observer. Giggle.
DeleteTrust me, that's not one to hang in the home office or place on the mantle.
Didn't Mikey S & Fivehead "win" something similar before?
DeletePrestige Worldwide. Dan needs to ramp up the dirty nicknames bit, keep up with the cool kids.
Sadly
DeleteAh, that felt good.
ReplyDeleteCome on, men and women. Arguing about where some other argument appeared first? That's a bitch too far.

DeleteLet's mosh. After the break, Greggo, Mad Max will join us to talk about the Holyfield fight.
ReplyDeleteRemember when you said a big announcement was coming down at the end of August and The Dumb Zone was going to be gone?

Deleteoh it's definitely you. you really don't even try to disguise it
Deletethe ticket interns don't know who digger is
DeleteGiggle. Rent free. Hi Jake. It's definitely you. You really don't even try to hide it.
DeleteFun
Delete"Digger," huh. Obv dogwhistle by another racist DZ Hive member.
Deleteit bothers me that you don't know who digger is
Delete^^^racist
DeleteDigger was the name Rhyner’s dog. I just want to clarify that, I hope anyway, it isn’t a roundabout racial epithet.
DeleteRecollections
DeleteEnd e-brake voting now. The NIT Brake now the superior segment.
ReplyDeleteIsn't the NIT brake just a rip off of the e-brake?
DeleteHas anyone heard an update on Monty? I get concerned when he is out for extended periods of time given his health history.
ReplyDeleteCat lanced him in the neck with a pitchfork
DeleteHe has walking pneumonia if that's even possible (he's in a wheelchair).
Deletei's believe's da term's's's is da rolling's new's monia's
DeleteI highly doubt that the little man with the Napoleon complex could "lance" anyone
DeleteAww. Jelly? Ya you are. Jake?
DeleteHe won. Keeps winning. Decisive loss on your end. Butt hurt much? 100% affirmative.
DeleteP.S. They don't give one shit about you.
Truth
Deletethe ticket interns really need to up their game getting very stale
DeleteSpecious
DeleteActually, Hive members and DZ "employees" need to focus on their little project. Ya know, seeing how it's a sinking ship.
DeleteFacts
DeleteRemember:
DeleteCat and Peter: Winners
Dan, Jake, Sirois Danny ect: losers (and grifters)

DeleteIs collinsworth on Jerry’s payroll? He has his kneepads on for the cowboys tonight
ReplyDeleteHe's def gotta new hairline. Lemme get this straight: Dum dums trade away faux Reggie Lawrence Haley. If he was on any other team he'd a been graded as the player he really is, but it's fun to shit on Jerry. And it is. The Pack is favored by a gillion. Even if GB wins, it's far better than what was expected. But you find it difficult to fathom why Mr Me Too would be saying positive things about the Cows. Typical blinkered NFL fan.
DeleteExcellence
DeleteShould’ve been intentional grounding on Dak of course refs don’t call it fix is in for cowboys
ReplyDeleteGB clearly better team Dallas defense sucks GB just playing with their food tonight
Look a like someone livin in yo head rent free. Hoooooo boi!!!! Sad Sack, I mean Pack, gonna be lucky ta be a wildcard team. Ya boys suck. Tying this crap Dallas team. Too funny!!!!
DeleteSorry, dude. That's not playing with food. That's being exposed two weeks in a row as a front runner. Looks like Micah brought that Dallas entitlement attitude with him to GB and GB and its fanbase has bought into it.
DeleteLogical
DeleteAnd no PI call on 3rd down in OT against cowboys ridiculous
ReplyDeleteMicah saves the TD in OT you were saying?
ReplyDeleteCooper was heading toward Dak. Michael saved shit. Loserrrrrrrrr GB. Hehehe. Suckahs. Nade a biatch load off you lisets last night!!!!! Hehehehe
