this was particularly brutal and a microcosm of the issues.

Leila no-sells a Dan bit immediately, and does her brand of humor of saying something LOUDLY AND SARCASTICALLY

I think she then no-sells two more Dan jokes in the next five minutes

And simply sounds bad...I listened on podcast (it was noted as 'bears stadium talk') and then when looking it up on Twitch you can see she literally has food in her mouth.

Why would anyone think that's a good idea? Does anyone actually like Leila?

_________________

One part of me is ok with her being there more so they can stop having complete segments of getting her horrible thoughts over things she hasn't been on to discuss over the last week.

If she's going to be on the show more now, can they refer to her by her first name or will Dan be offended?

Why not give Marshall a chance to grow vs. having a part time host there to help with the conversation with Dan?

Dan specifically said Leila Rahimi Tuesday and Wednesday.

I think Mully still says just 'Leila', he must know her like that

Alternatively, Dan will embrace problematic tradition here if her days are sponsored.

"Tomorrow is a Tinder Tuesday with Leila..."

It's a little less painful when one watches as opposed to just listening in the car.

"I honestly don't see a good bet on the board here."

Nobody calls her by her full name when introducing her. Dan has to be outraged/offended.

I'm in Chicago for a couple of days visiting family, so I put on the first couple of hours of today's show in the car; I got to my hotel before High Noon started. I had not listened since my last trip here in June, when I had to PTFB on LoHo.

Marshall is an improvement over Laurence because he's mostly inoffensive and steers Dan away from social pontificating. His thoughts are not particularly great but not particularly awful. Leila is superfluous, and a Leila/Marshall show when Dan gets his salary cut enough to decide to retire will still be better than Jurko. Dan's just playing out the string in year #30 and I won't be surprised if he decides to leave at his 30th anniversary.

The show is not a top-half show in Score history, but it's no worse than the local Raleigh ACC and Hurricanes-heavy talk I get at home. On the daily commute I used to have, I would probably split my time between this, Dan Patrick, and music.

So far, Marshall hasn't really taken the bait when Dan decides to act like Keith Olbermann. Will that last? Probably not, but it's been better than Lawrence adding to what Dan says in a slow, serious voice.

Both Marshall and Leila have tried to avoid special Bernstein story time.

Just so people can rest easy about the kind of fire he's bringing to the platform:

cis white male from a place of privilege?

This has to be made up or he needs to be in psych ward like yesterday. Over an election. I don't have blue sky, but this has to b fake.

Danny is fighting?

I am actually surprised that unlike other public people he doesn’t get more shit from Twitter and elsewhere for his silly things like that.

no, not fake at all. he talked about it a bit, the other day. said that x is too important to totally abandon. clear he doesn't like x due to musk and his repub/trump ties.

no idea what he's trying to say, as in privilege and nearly being ashamed of being a male in male's body.

Trust fund Bernstein his whole life living in the lap of luxury coming from a rich family with doors wide open playing the victim card is actually quite funny.

Wow, i clicked on his twitter blue sky link and it is not made up.
I am 100% for therapy and voted for Harris. I am a moderate dem, but needing therapy over a presidential election.......thats insane. Maybe a college kid is sad for a day or two, but a grown man with kids?
I wish him well.

He and his wife have publicly detailed their need for therapy. I'm sure the rest of the house is perfectly fine.

Therapy is fine, therapy for a grown adult with children over an election is not fine. I wanted Harris to win, she lost. Not going to therapy neither is 99.999 of anyone. We have jobs and families.

Also the whole cis and white privilege, he talks like junior high school kid in 2024. It's embarrassing.

I am a huge fan of Bill Maher, his latest segment this past week was meant for the extreme far left like Dan.

of course going to therapy is fine. It's also fine to understand that a person's stated long term mental issues may be impacting that person's more extreme opinions of reality.

clearly, the most effective therapy for dan is having a public forum to make fun of christians, appalachian gentiles, and trump voters. i've never heard more sincere chuckles and laughter in my life. uplifting. almost makes me want to do the same.

the anger is evident when others express the same amount of devotion and passion for religions and nations/cultures/history other than judaism and israel.

his analyst did fantastic work in convincing him to repeat "ron washington for manager" as a substitute for great smoky mountain range waffle house accent voice that manifested itself more on occasion, while struggling with tom brady's super bowl victories. once the therapist identified the trigger, the rest was easy.

Seems he is struggling with the end of wokeness, the rest of the country is moving on, but the wealthy white liberals cannot let it go, they have now appointed themselves as the resistance, cannot have the unwashed masses making decisions for themselves.

In many ways the Biden presidency has destroyed the Democratic party by allowing the far left to govern, people saw the policies in action and the failed so spectacularly that even California voted overwhelmingly for tougher law enforcement.

This has to be hard to square for the self-proclaimed smartest people in any room they enter, turns out that the sheltered lives they live where you only interact with certain people and only go to certain schools has actually turned them into blathering idiots, not sure how Bernstein will handle this mentally.
