I had someone in my office. Did he say anything we didnt already know?

Underpaid, etc.

Not really, underpaid/underappreciated.

Said he was surprised that he really felt nothing as he walked away from the little ticket

Hincemm

did he specifically say that or just 'didn't like the direction?'

i may have missed it. of course, you can certainly read between the lines.

Did he say anything about the name The Freak being an homage to Rhyner's days as a Zoo Freak on KZEW?

it's called 'The Downbeat,' and Rhyner is immediately talking about recording spare music.

i did not miss spare music talk



'WE SAY WHAT WE WANT, WHEN WE WANT'....so let's talk about old petty recordings.

He mentioned that when he filled in for B&S that it really pissed off everyone else over at the little ticket.

What month was his fill in? It was back in December if I remember correctly.

Specifically said he did not feel anything when he walked...I am guessing reading between the lines that he was tired of everything at that point

With Corby as the flagship on the Ticket I think it's going to sink fast cause that guy is an idiot. Really rooting for the new station here.

What a coincidence, I didn't feel anything when he left either. He was an empty chair.

Guess I was a zoo freak way back when. Had the sticker on my car. Yeah, I'm old.

No way they don't. Curious to see the mix. Rhyner still senile as ever though.

"How many days has it been since you retired January 6, 2020 until now?"

"Ten thousand?"

Some of the not feeling anything was self-inflicted though, right? He retirement was very unceremonious. Credit to him for retiring on his own terms, but I'm sure he would have felt something more if he had a runway to his retirement on air.

But maybe he would have hated that. Shrug.

Good to hear his voice.

Mentioning The Ticket (eg the competition) by name, number, and call letters multiple times in the opener is an interesting strategy.

This will probably do ok as long as Mike is engaged. So 18 months?
Spaceship

Yeah, Mike isn't built to carry a new station from launch...I think his energy and gusto wanes after a couple months.

Sirios is greatness and I really wish he could be paired with someone in their prime (ideally at the Ticket) and this dilution of DFW radio talent didn't exist.

You know, putting music in the rotation is actually a nice compromise. Lets the hosts focus and give old man Mike a chance to nap
