Just throw 'em all in a 10-3 show and call it "Dry Dock"

team punch out after 8:40 bit - unless it's Skinlanins, then it's 8:30

Stew seems to be in the know. Wondering what the connection is. Hope it's not that you are the brother to Grodo's landlord's mailman.


Never mind. A little internet sleuthing makes me think he knows what he's talking about.

He's gay.

I mean, he's blind.

Morning drive no change of course
10 to noon changes to 10 to 1p - Matt McClearin to join Donny
1 to 3 will be Mino, Monty and Sean Bass
3 to 7 no change, Mino may still produce, not sure

---

What? So where is Blake producing, HL?

ETA: This is an awful lineup. I'm not in the "Monty is good" camp. And Mino / Sea Bass are total snoozers

RIP to WTDS with that 1:00-3:00 mix

Mino over Blake is a crime. Mino has some sports knowledge, and will work hard, but his personality brings zero to a show. Hope we don't get weekly shows about MLB The Show.

I will say Monty made me laugh multiple times today, specifically when they called Twig and discussed his hypothecal bachelor party with dirty strippers at Donovan's house.

I hope at least he gets to produce 10:00-3:00; he can't carry a show, but he's a great 3rd and has proven that these last 3 weeks (and 3 years with HZ). His monthly business reviews have been awesome, he's got good sports knowledge, and is relatable to a lot of the demographic as a suburban Dad.

I do have a new appreciation for Donny - he's shown he can pair well with anyone. From octogenarian Norm to millennials, he's been top notch. Also Ham on the board has been pretty solid - he definitely pushes the line with drops and subtle one-liners.


3rd edit to get it right - feel like I'm DannyDurberstein/Old Tom Morris

All of these options that are being thrown out there are sad.
What about Tim Cowlishaw? I He was solid on the football panel with the Musers. You could put him on 10-12, would be replacing and old with an old and you put Donny on from 12-3.

Is he just too freaking old and I assume they couldn't afford him? He may have no interest anyway - has to be close to retiring at DMN.

---

Too old, probably not interested, and he's even more boring than mino and Sean if that's possible.

Also can you imagine 2+ hours of him clearing his throat every single day

more monty. less mino/sea bass

After listening to an episode of the Dumb Zone and hearing the rumors, I'm even more dumbfounded by D&J resigning. I get resigning if you want to do something out of the box that cumulus won't let you do. But resigning to go to the freak or to do the exact same show on patreon? That's next level dumb in my opinion considering it sounds like cumulus wasn't lowballing them money wise. And they will lose a lot of lifetime friends if they end up at the freak, bc they would have lied straight to their faces about not going there. And it doesn't even seem like a smart long term business decision, which means it's not really worth losing lifetime friends over imo.

Wonder if there was a lot of behind the scenes drama that pissed them off that we aren't aware of?

We don't know any of the actual facts. Anything you have heard the current Ticket hosts say is surely not the whole truth, just like anything Dan and Jake says is colored through their point of view.
It's going to be hard to convince enough of their listeners to pay for something they used to get for free

Of course we don't know all the facts. But we know they quit over digital rights, both sides seem to say that. Which I get it if D&J had something new/different that they wanted to do. But so far it's the exact same show except lesser quality. Yea, no **** cumulus wouldn't give them rights to do a podcast that was the exact same as their radio show.

It's pretty clear they will end up at the freak within a year and likely sooner. I think that was their plan from the beginning, considering they have nothing new/unique planned. Maybe they are giving patreon a go just to see how much money they can make at it.

Their reason for leaving was "they just want to do something different." I call bull***** Dumb Zone is literally the exact same show but worse quality. So they were lying or delusional.

And again, I say all of this as a huge hang zone fan. Listened to nearly every episode.

I think behind-the-scenes stuff is possible. I also think Dan was way less committed to The Ticket than Bob. I ALSO think they end up as The Freak's drivetime show. However, the idea of working less and earning less - but still enough to pay your bills - is not crazy. I'd gladly take an hours and pay cut if I could. If they were legit in thinking they could pull off the podcast for a moderate income reduction, with The Freak as a fallback plan, then that's not insane to me.
