I think he wants to avoid the bottom 10% of posters here who take things to unfortunate levels but the podcast provides a buffer.

An honest person that doesn't stand on his soap box and tell everyone how they should feel on every single topic that exists, sports or otherwise.

What a refreshing change of pace that is.

Good show Dr Ken.

It's hard to hear at the beginning but when I asked him the "infamous" question, he replied something to the effect of "you aren't that important". I thought that was pretty funny.

Working in the tease! This Dr Ken guy is a pro!

He doesn't realize the bidding war that occurred when this place was up for grabs... It does seem like people at the station lurk here quite a bit though.

Someone could create a "Hallway" section for Leery to lurk in.

From the look of him lately, he is lurking in the hallway because the vending machine is there.

He knew ahead of time. There was a lot of communication via DM on Twitter prior to doing it.

He knew what this was.

LEAVE HIM ALONE! He is like a brother.

In all honesty, I think that made him more likely to do it, especially since Mac (his model for what he wants to be as a sports talker) did it.

the speig's signboard PR stunt, parkins asking to do random local podcasts, it comes off as desperate guerrilla PR efforts for a show with faltering ratings

Or stricter.

I can't believe nobody jumped on that.

lets hear this bottom 10% list

Yeah, but we still don't know what the correct list says.

Overall, I applaud Parkins for going on the show, but he completely lost me with the way he flippantly dismissed ever participating here.

You can tell someone at the station, likely upper management, or a disgruntled co-worker who has had his lunch handed to him here before and did not handle it well, influenced or mandated that decision, and it left me feeling that the guy who I thought was a courageous champion of free thought, was actually just another spineless drone.

This place is the perfect forum for a guy like that. He would swim just fine among the sharks. If he was not told not to come here, it is sheer cowardice for him to abstain. Phooey, Parkins. Shame on you.

IIRC, Parkins said no one at the Score knew he was coming on the podcast.

That does not mean that he was not advised to avoid posting on This Board.

Its silly for him not to. He could own this place.

Floor N Decor Guy would be a great mult.

Nah he's right.

With Twitter and Facebook, he gets all the feedback he needs. Checking in and lurking isn't a bad thing.

Just heard it.

Pretty interesting. You did OK, Doc. Some good questions.

But I thought you missed your shot, Dr. Ken. This guy was willing to talk. You should have sensed that and gone deeper with the questions. Gone harder. I know you were nervous at first. I get that. But you should have figured out the mood and tone. It was relaxed and easy.

Next time you get him just read my questions from the board. Let me know in advance when you get him.

Get him quick. Cuz they all hate and ignore us eventually. Mainly because of me.

Thanks Beardown.

I wasn't nervous. I'm just bad at this.
