Has this show lost it since Goff left. "Matty" makes dumb comments frequently and adds next to nothing to the show, and Goff was the only guy that would actually stand up to Bernstein and the caller bashing has reach it's apex with "Matty's list".

They better be glad the show down the dial really sucks, otherwise they'd lose ratings.

The tenor of the show has changed very much, from one mostly based in satire to something much more earnest (vaguely informed by the writing of Malcolm Gladwell and Thomas Friedman), but I don't think that was precipitated by Jason leaving. In fact, inasmuch as Jason was a major part of the day they blamed flagging White Sox revenue in the middle of a worldwide recession on fans who fear black gangs and don't trust Jews with their money, I know it wasn't.

For the good of the show Is it possible to construct a time machine so that we may go back and murder Gladwell and Friedman's grandfathers?

I see the show as the voice of the middlebrow fan. It exists mainly for those who enjoying laughing along with li'l danny at the drooling mouth breathers put on the air by drinky. The show is a product of the limitations of danny's pseudo-intellectualism wherein he cites the work of Gladwell as some type of hard science and completely misses the point of modern statistical analysis. Listening to danny makes a certain type of person feel very smart. The carefully selected callers reinforce that.

I'm reading some Matt Taibbi and holy shit Dan is Sports Thomas Friedman. My day, week, month, year, life, ruined.

Is it Taibbi's Rolling Stone stuff? Help me out here.

Goff brought very little to the table IMO. Little bit of NBA. Fake bravado. Anything else?

.....but Dre Day only meant Eazy's pay day.

I love how people call Dan a pseudo intellectual.


OK, so Dan is a dick/loser/douche for identifying himself as smarter than the meatball fans. Doesn't that make people who call Dan a pseudo intellectual a dick/loser/douche for saying Dan isn't smart? Really, you're then putting yourself above Dan. Doing exactly what Dan does.


Hey hey!!

I need that goofy WHUAT? clip they play after that thought.

Yep, and the NY Press book reviews. It's all there: the worship of billionaires, corporations, and neoliberal policy; the fetishization of "information" without knowing what to do with it, the holding dear of empty jargon, the metaphors both tortured and tortuous. How did I never see it before today? Oh lord.

I love how people call Dan a pseudo intellectual.

Hey hey!!

Yeah, that makes sense.

I think we call hime a "sway-doe" intellectual because he comes off as one on the radio. Condescending, lecturing and brow beating everyone on all topics yet when he tries to talk about said topics himself he exposes his limited knowledge and understanding. Combine that with his peppering of "Big Words!" and other jargon that he doesn't fully grasp and you can see why we call him that.
