Bob is like most people. He dunks on things that are "easy."

He rails about Saudi Arabia's connections to LIV, but laughed at people with concerns about the World Cup in Qatar. I tend to think (based on his simplistic logic), his Qatar opinions are more difficult to rationalize than his views on China. His views essentially boil down to racism in the U.S. is worse than human rights abuses abroad because the ones in the U.S. are ones in his own neighborhood. It's essentially the Mark Cuban excuse for waving away any concerns about the NBA's connection to China.

He sniffs which way the wind is blowing, adjusts his views, and chalks it up to being socially aware. He's basically a smarter version of Craig Miller. I respect his sports views, but he's a typical Americentric US media type.

He is dead right about Nolan Ryan, though.

The point of the discussion on Nolan is that there's a large percentage of fans who don't give JD any credit for the early aughts success, and all the blame for after Nolan left.

Edit: early tweens?

hot dog?

Gordo is broadcasting from Oxford, Ms. One of his kids taking a college visit?

it's crazy that they don't even go there with him...if that's any other host (or heck, engineer, producer, etc), then they're asking about his visit there in detail.

i guess there's just an understanding that his personal life isn't addressed over the air, with the exception of his parents/childhood

I think he has family there (MS)? I was trying to find out where it was but I can't seem to find what I was thinking of.

I got the Mississippi part right!

I knew he had family in Mississippi, but thought it was odd he was there on a Monday (and broadcasting remotely) when they're flying to Cowboys training camp in a couple days.

There may be a family issue he is dealing with down there.

What's up with the schedule for getting to Oxnard? I know it's been a few years since they've made the trip, but didn't everyone used to get there today in time for Jerry's press conference?

It sounds like the Musers will be there tomorrow but the other shows are going until end of this week/first of next. I thought it was weird that Hangzone and Hardline have a movie of the month this week.

I was thinking maybe Gordo has a kid about to enroll at Ole Miss?

Just noticed Bob posted this above. Helps to read the thread.

Ready for Corby's story of travel hell? He has something go wrong all the time.

I wonder if the Snake getting COVID threw a wrench into their travel plans?

That was my first thought, but the movie of the month has been planned for this week long before he got COVID. I can't imagine that recurring sponsorship event would be enough to alter the entire station's travel plans.

It also really sucks for the Musers that they'll be the only ones out there while having to start their show at 3:30am local time.

It's probably heaven for Craig and Gordo as much of a recluse as they are. They'll be done by 8 and have no other responsibilities outside of getting an interview or two done. I do wonder what their schedule is like though.

Wake Up: 2:45am
Show: 3:30am-8am
Breakfast: 9am
Nap: 10-Noon
Interviews/Practice/Dinner/Explore LA: 1-8pm
Bed: 8-9pm

They also mentioned that their field trip was to Hearst Castle. I hope they can turn it into something interesting because it was a big meh for me

Hearst Castle is really cool but not sure if it will make for good radio or not.

The guy on the 8:40 bit was wild. Gordo's super power is getting strangers to tell him the craziest stories. Or maybe his super power is being able to tell which people would tell that stuff to anybody just by looking at them.

You forgot to add one major drama detail... Corbi went to the wrong airport to begin his Cali adventure.

My favorite travel story was Dale Hansen complaining for an hour that he got carded at the airport.

Since there was no follow up date, I guess the guy didn't like being choked. Or was it that she liked him choking her?

Junior's lost credit card story was some of the most naive nonsense I've heard in a bit. Dude, once that thing was in some stranger's hands, your only move is to cancel it. And F that dumb **** clerk that let a stranger walk off with it too

Clerk was likely in on it.

Probably so. The phone call was a red flag. Either way, dude, the card is toast once you left it free for anyone to look at and grab numbers off it. Cancel
