Yeah, he seems like a naturally anxious guy. Basically going into business for yourself isn't for everyone.

i finally capitulated and paid for the dumb zone. i can't take any more invasion or sweet spot.

I tried to give the Sweet Spot a chance by listening to a couple of their segments whenever they'd make the Top 10. But man…the way Mino starts a sentence and then stops halfway through to inject a drawn-out "buuuuuuuttt" to give him time to think of what to say next just makes it unlistenable to me. I wish they'd just put Monty's news segment in the Top 10 every day instead.

On a different note….9 months later, I finally have my vindication:

"The Sweet Spot Mino's 'But' intervention" via SportsDay TALK https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sportsday-talk-w-1310-ticket/id655078306?mt=8

Cannot believe it took them this long to point this out to him. I wrote the post I'm quoting back in March.

Who's to say how long someone needs to be ready to talk publicly about this possible scenario? Whatever it is, he knows he has to jump right into it when he returns. If it's a separation or impending divorce he has to thread lightly or say nothing at all. He's scheduled to come back Monday, but they've hedged it a bit.
And what's so crucial about now for DZ? They've made some moves to increase revenue and seem to be continuing to gain audience. They aren't going anywhere anytime soon.

Should be back Monday.

Did he say this or is this you speculating/joking?

No, that was the reason he gave ... I listened to about 45 minutes of it at lunch -- he was very upfront about it, and spent time discussing the process, why he went (alcohol), etc. Sounds like they devoted most of the show to it. Jake said he and his wife both came to the decision that it was time, though his wife might have had a BIT more influence. Seems to be in a good place now.

Interesting. Appreciate the update. Hopefully he's in a better spot.

I listened to the first 60-75 minutes and heard him talk about it. I had noticed a few months ago that he had gained weight and looked less healthy than a couple years ago. Now it makes sense. Sounds like he's in a much better place now...and has a ton of material for more content/segments.

I don't listen/watch the DZ but from what I'd seen of him on social media lately, I definitely noticed the weight gain/looking more puffy than he used to.

Does Gordo no longer do a weekly segment with the invasion? Used to be early on Tuesday.

Gordo seems to be down to about 4 segments a day, 5 if hes guesting non-hardline, 6 if hardline. Dude has an amazing job.

*Im not saying anything about his abilities. The 8:40 segment is gold 4 out 5 days a week. The 7 hour segment and corner are all great.im just saying of the first tier, he probably has it easiest. And bob has it hardest but he probably enjoys carrying then sports talk. Though I'll give snake credit, after Dave's joined, he's tried to put a lot more into the sports segments.

I used to be impressed when I heard of a Marconi, but if this version of the station won and the days of Donnie and Sirois and the Hang Zone didn't. Really makes me reevaluate

This is 100% bc of Dan & Jake. Big radio suits saying "nothing to see here"

Had jub gone with insurance route as he planned instead of following Rhynes, I wonder how many Geiconis he would have at this point.

Congrats to the station. It still doesn't forgive having the sweet spot on the air, allowing the invasion to get 3 hours, letting Dan and Jake walk, letting Sirois and Danny walk,, or having the hardline become what it's become is a sin.

Outside of the musers, which despite being the best thing left and losing their fastball, my only usual tune in's are Gordo in the 7 o'clock hour, occasionally the 8:40 bit, and Bob when he gets the full segment on college football/Mavs/playoff stars

Danny? He brought nothing aside from a pissy attitude. Davey is a definite upgrade, but that ain't saying much.

Danny could talk football, was a savant with music topics, and provided a more tempered comic relief tandem with Corby, not just queef and dick jokes. And they actually were close friends with chemistry, not the forced tangential relationship of 5.0

There's a reason TDZ has made him a regular player

Just don't get it, once the Musers sign off in the morning The Ticket has become a bag of nothing. Probably speaks more to how bad radio in general is these days.

Lololol Danny could talk football? You must be friends with him. Davey isn't great at football talk but he's much better than Danny. Danny has the sports brain of an 8 year old and didn't even bother to watch most games.

Danny with comic relief? Give me a break. He literally only did fart songs and fart jokes that a third grader could make. Davey at least makes me chuckle sometimes with some good one liners. He's not great but he's better than Danny.

The dumb zone made him a regular bc Jake was in rehab. It's a mistake if they keep him on a permanent basis.

I like Danny. Davey is better though.

I also think The Hardline is the best it has been since a year before Greggo left. It went from nearly unlistenable at times over the past ten years to now I'll tune in on my drive home 2-3 days a week. I'm not P1 status for it, but I think it is much improved.

I imagine this Marconi award is a lifetime achievement award of sorts. Because, yea, currently 10-3 is a barren landscape ("hello!").
