With Audacy in financial dire straits the hosts have to be confident no new talent will be brought in or shuffling the deck of clowns. What's the point? When the layoffs come and eventually shutdown there's nothing they can do about it. So they're safe 'til then.


They report financial results on November 8. In their last release they talked about detailing on layoffs and strategies at the next release, so we should hear something definitive. Their debt ratings were cut to CCC (very bad). Election years are generally good for ad dependent businesses. The pressure will ramp up on them in 2023. My best guess is a prepackaged debt restructuring in the next 18 months. In terms of on air, they are going to have to cut costs, which probably means a move to national programming. But who knows.....it should be fun to watch or should I say listen?

They have over $1.8B in debt and are not generating cash flow right now.

Wouldn't you think of all the stations, sports would be top revenue producing because of gambling? I would imagine Caesar's is paying the Score to have on completely worthless Trey Wingo.

While I agree with the sentiment, Caller Bob is easily the most disgusting poster around. vito really needs to get over his obsession with the Score. It's not healthy.

It's a dopey message board meant for entertainment purposes. If anybody understands that, it's Bob. The Bob and Frank Show in and of itself, is a reason to be here.

Larry went hard after Russell Wilson saying he's unlikable with the persona he puts forth. Then Spiegel bashed A Rod for not being authentic. These two have a lot of balls bashing two very successful athletes at various facets of their lives compared to their own unlikability .

In what way is A-Rod not authentic?

I'll have to take Spiegel's word for it, though. If anyone would know inauthentic when he sees it, it would be someone who has spent 30 years in a cover band.

Spiegel said at one time he was at an event that A-Rod was at and to paraphrase him Spiegel felt an unauthentic vibe coming from him.

People have been calling Russell Wilson a cornball brother for like a decade now. Maybe we can talk about what's going on at Penn State, too.

Harvard Dan and I just taking a pounding here with the cover band shots :lol:

Having done the cover band thing for a number of years, here is what I can tell you....most of us that have real jobs and do it as a side thing get it....it's fun...you're not changing the world. It's go have a few beers and get people moving and smiling a bit.

There are MANY that actually do it as a full-time job. There's decent money to be made at that level, but your weekends and summers are completely lost. that's your life. Some of these groups have ridiculous people that follow the around festival to festival and yes...their heads get bloated. Not all, though. Some keep it together pretty well and don't take themselves too seriously.

I would suspect Spiegs is one that takes it and himself a bit too seriously. He's a talented guy, but as pointed out....it's replicating other people's art.

Just had a chance to listen for a few minutes.

They had a segment on Kyrie wherein they tried to reconcile arguments around privilege, COVID vaccines, Kyrie’s (apparent) Native American background, anti-semitism and the purpose of a union.

They both seem incredibly uncomfortable with this, to the point of an even deeper level of incoherence I didn’t know either could bring to the table. It’s objectively hilarious.

Now's a helluva time to get all nuanced.

caught a bit of "high noon " just now

some story about a wild turkey roaming the Beverly/Morgan Park/Mt. Greenwood area

and that is certainly hilarious enough. But get this - people that live there fly blue lives matters flags. That resulted in a 5 minute non-stop giggle session bc they're dumb and racist or something

Dan seems to really have been neutered; my listening consists of 5-10 minute periods when i go out to lunch, so i could be wrong, but it seems like 90% of the talking is either Larry/guest/Leila when she's in. He doesn't really say much overall .

He was trending that way with Goff, too.

I disagree. Goff and Bernstein egged each other on to greater heights of political intrusion into the show. He wasn't chastened until Goff got the ax and Speigel got demoted.

I listened in the car the other day. It really seems like Holmes “drives” the show now. Not sure if that was the plan, but Dan is now in the Terry Boers role.

It devolved into both hosts telling people not to listen which had to be quite unsettling to advertisers...would Heavenly Bodies want to buy ads on a station that kept telling old white guys to go away, of course not, that's their target audience.

The entire show is the old twitter joke. 90% imagining a guy, tricking yourself into believing that guy exists, and then getting mad about it. Except for the last few weeks, its just been pretending that all bears fans are just too slow to accept Fields as a successful modern quarterback. As if the majority of fans are unhappy with how he has developed to his point. This show has nothing to offer but to beat the imaginary pinata to death over, and over, and over.

Larry has hidden in hidden racial undertones lately as well. People that look like him don’t get hired into analytics.

Then there is Bernsie who was all that matters is championships and wins is ok with Fields moral victories.

Some college football expert was on talking about the wealth of nfl-caliber QB's in college football right now, and Florida's Anthony Richardson's name came up as a player to watch, and Dan interjected that on top of all that, how proud he was of him for changing his nickname from "AR15", how impressive that was for him to do that all on his own. So so impressive. :roll:

So this afternoon we have Lawrence giving crap to RGIII from MNF for taking on the Mexican culture disrespectfully. As part of the diatribe he mentions a reason it was a bad move was the way RGIII put all the inflection on his words as he spoke Spanish during his segment.

I immediately laugh to myself who are you crappin' sitting next to Mr. Inflection, Bernsie. :lol:

Can they call Jon Miller to get his take on how to properly say the name Armando de la Cabrera.
