I know you did .... just waiting for the others to verify or say anything substantive on the matter since they seem so interested in it.

Hahahhahaha oh brother.

You've posted multiple times in multiple threads about this matter....it would seem you're the one that has taken a keen interest in it, friend.

People not being interested in what I have to say is sorta my thing here.

Thank you, boys. We almost had a moment there.

I'm looking this show up...Will somebody have me over so I can watch it?

Sure. Maybe.

Despite whatever flaws or shortcomings you may have or present, yours is now the only show that is yours'. Bothersome is the word that best describes the steady emulation of Bernstein. Which is not entertaining makes ESPN the needed change.

Now, tell the (CA) truth, how many days a week does Boers stay home?

I doubt Terry meant to say All Addicts are dumb. If he did, im sure he was just agreeing with Bernstein.

There ARE greater tragedies than an addict overdosing.

I really haven't heard much Bob in Niles stuff.

I didn't hear the PSH stuff.

I have always said that there is a place for Bernstein type shows at the station. It is valuable show. It was a necessary and welcomed balance in the days when North was the character of the station.

The problem is that it is designed to be niche programming (and I annunciate niche as "neesh" to highlight being part of the thinking man's station). Unfortunately it evolved, for many unfortunate reasons, into the new character of the Score. It is the character despite very modest ratings when matched against a viable alternative in the same time slot. Correct me if I am wrong but I don't believe the show has the best ratings at the station and actually loses listeners from its lead in. The Score has built its house on sand.

It is logical for the younger people at the station to mimic what they see as the designated character. That behavior is rewarded.

It isn't a fun listen. It is also completely condescending as it assumes that I am some monosyllabic sports watcher who is lifted from my ignorance only through the thoughts of the thinking men of the station.

I don't think Bernstein even likes the position of being the character of the station. The show, at its core, is iconoclastic. You cannot be an iconoclast and mainstream at the same time. He frequently mocks the people who copy him or at best keeps them at his knee. The people Dan respects are ones who are what he would have been if his life had taken a different path. He rolls over for anyone with a degree, anyone who is considered a titan of industry or anyone with esoteric knowledge.

Good post.

Curious Hair had similar thoughts and a great analogy about A changeup ceasing to be a changeup when you throw it exclusively

I also wouldn't discount the possibility that B&b believes his segment on the show is one of the few things Bob in Niles lives for and so they are loathe to take it away from him, in spite of the fact that it has never been funny in the slightest. They mocked a mentally-challenged person for a bit and now they're stuck.

another proper post by good dolphin... but i gotta pull a "HOLD UP (WAIT A MINUTE!)" sample drop on don tiny calling someone a 'dickboy'

now call me old fashioned, but semantically speaking aren't all boys 'dickboys'? i mean typically you associate the usage of dick-as-prefix with "dickgirl" aka "trap" and "surprise" aka "it's time to play that one song by the horrendously underrated myspace musician "the colonel" about this very subject" but uhhh yeah, i mean, there's definitely 'dickgirl' as a thing..... and i kind of mean that literally.

but 'dickboy' ? unless you're trying to balance the force by making the male equivalent of calling a woman a "Caller Bob" i think your semantics/etymology is all kinds of fucked up here.

oh btw and if anyone checks out that song i linked, go for "cup my balls" with the world cup coming up. that song's great. i remember mixing it into a 6+ min rendition of trololo once...

I don't know why they think copying him is the way to earn his respect. I would assume he sees right through that...unless it just feeds his ego.
