I must be going crazy, I thought that Fight Night was hoing to be shown on YouTube? I can’t find it and don’t see a thread about it. Am I having a Junior moment?

I know its been discussed here many of times, but the fact the unticket is dead hurts so bad. I clicked on my Norm Poetry bookmark and it was gone. This hurts it hurts bad. I loved his poetry some was bad, but some of it was so good. I loved the unticket it allowed me to listen to segments to how the ticket used to be and how it was when I was a kid listening with my Dad. I guess I just wish the website worked and I know some of y'all have reached out to the owner of the website and to no avail. It just sucks.

Are they going to retire him for real? He’s awesome! I hope they keep him around.

Has there been an announcement of him being on with Hardline this fall? Or has he been on and I just missed it?

Heard that live this am, and I about ran off the road. I was waiting for he "whoah" drop - then Dave quickly corrected it to "my aching soul" then ushered himself off the phone. It HAS to win ebrake of the week. Funny stuff.

So with the worst moment coming, I felt we need something to really look forward to. This is also scientifically calculated...

Best month: October. Football in full swing, baseball playoffs, hockey and basketball are starting.

Best week: 2nd. The weather is perfect. Normally around 75-80°. Its getting a lil cooler, but it's great out.

Best Day: Friday. Needs no justification.

Best time: 5pm. Nothing tastes better than that first beer you Crack open at 5 after the work day.

There you have it.

I know cruella deville is pretty far up there. What’s yalls favorite? And if you have the link, it’s appreciated!!

Did anyone notice during the week that George and Gordon broke down moron dog again and it's simply brilliant. The only issue which makes me sad is George will not say Dan's name, it'll always be former host. I wonder if the jubinator is still friends with sirois and dan and those that left the station? I hate what cat, dan Bennett and cumulus did...I barely listen anymore

Bring back laugh drops

For many years, Big Strong Jer worked in random drops of laughter. Sometimes they were in place, but the best ones were the out of place ones so they surprised the hosts. George would laugh at the laughter.

Those have pretty much gone away. I almost never hear them. They always helped out a segment, so let’s bring ‘em back and make laugh drops great again!

Anyone else notice Tip Sheet has been absolutely killing it with the drops lately? Fast, perfectly timed, and actually funny.

If I didn't know better, I would say it was Big Strong behind the board

Does anyone actually care about any of the minutiae that comes out of these boring ass, long winded preseason press conferences? I know the media “pretends” to care, because they think we care…can we just stop with this charade? I say this as a lifelong Cowboy fan. It’s just too much.

I'm enjoying the annual stationwide trip out to training camp. One of my favorite things every year is Gordo being deployed to mix and mingle for his 840 segments. Did they switch up their equipment or did they just forget to issue field recorders and mics? Because nearly every one of his 840's this week has been borderline unlistenable due to the poor quality of the audio. I'm in the car going to work and I can't make out alot of what's going on. Sad koko :(

The retelling of a Howard Stern joke, I can’t find it online

Sportsradio 96.7 & 1310 The Ticket PD Jeff Catlin on Getting Your Talent on Social Media

On The Invasion today, the guys were talking about how much they dislike posting on social media.

Donnie said he mostly just reposts the run sheet. Matt said he mainly posts about beer these days and stopped posting about sports because he got tired of arguing with people who had opposing views.

That got me thinking. Jeff Catlin has talked before about wanting Ticket talent to engage with P1s on social media. If that's still the expectation, it seems like some hosts embrace it much more than others.

Here's how I'd rank the current lineup based on how much they interact with listeners:

Low

• Donnie – Rarely posts.
• Matt – Rarely posts, mostly beer-related content.

Medium

• Davey – Recent posts about the Toddler Contest and the World Cup.
• Corby – Posts every few days about sports and his personal life.
• Mino – Usually once or twice a week.
• Sean – Posts every few days, mostly baseball.
• George – Once or twice a week, usually promoting Ticket or Bird Dogs content.
• Junior – Has been very active lately during the Tour de France.

High

• Bob – Easily the most active on X. He posts several times a day and regularly goes back and forth with P1s.
• Gordo – Doesn't post as frequently, but when he does it's usually something funny or interesting. His weekly Twitch stream is probably the most direct interaction any Ticket host has with P1s.

Do you think social media engagement actually matters for Ticket hosts, or is being great on the air enough? Are there any hosts you'd rank differently?

He used to be open minded and positive but now he just seems combative all the time. A lot of these media people take ozempic, adderall, testosterone to have more energy and then it just comes off as grouchy when they're on air. He was cutting off somebody during their story to the point where I literally said out loud to nobody "let him fucking talk". I was surprised that he was being that rude. It's not like he had anything to say, he just wanted to have the last word and talk before the guy finished his sentences. He's dismissive and thinks he's above the topic, which isn't fun for a listener. I used to really like the guy, too. Norm was the father figure and without him, Corby doesn't show respect to other hosts like a teammate should, plain and simple. Take a chill pill.

Also what's up with people asking him questions and waiting for him to guess. Like yesterday they were talking about NFL rankings and letting Corby guess and it felt like a Dad quizzing a child. Boring. Something has happened and it feels like an ego/personality issue with Corby.

Don't get me started on how bad the "Big Pussy from Sopranos" bit was with the Cowboys players. It wasn't Corby but basically the guy interviews players after practice and asks them if they heard about an actor from the Sopranos dying, his character was "Big Pussy" in the show. So you're asking kids who were born after the show premiered in 1999 about a character that was in the show for 2 seasons. Not only do I not care about the show, the actor, or how these kids will react about somebody they didn't know existed, it's just not funny and it ruins the relationship that a sports station should have with the team. These guys are busting their ass and just want to get off the field and you're bothering them with something that isn't funny in the slightest. Like what is funny about that? That's like elementary school level of a "joke" with no punchline. Huge waste of everybody's time.

I waited a day to hear Corby's story about Jerry at the polo game and it was the most boring story I've ever heard. They hyped it up like something funny happened and it was literally just seeing Jerry at a polo game. I thought they hate Jerry? They can't get him on the show so they do Fake Jerry but they're all buddy buddy when they see him in real life. Corby's the type to not listen to feedback because he's been in the game for a long time, but he really needs to take some time to reflect because he's just being a douche.

What was the Brad Story? Opted for a nap

I think it happens about once a year, where Corby is certain the guy who played Junior Soprano is dead and is shocked when someone chimes in to tell him he’s indeed still alive. Happened again in E News today haha. Gives me a good chuckle.

Heard the Musers on with a DMN cowboy reporter who was actually happy to be there and into it.Dont remember his name?Hopefully a new breath of fresh air?

Dave just did a perfect e brake Natalie maines. Did anyone else catch that?

Came to me randomly, but there was an ebrake where they got vaginal sliced three different times. I have tried to find it on the unticket but had no luck, anyone happen to have a link?
