1290 Radio, Part VIII

[DRW204]

lol not really surprised. dude can barely spit out "odds shark" on a good day

 

[barrywpg]

He didn't say that. Please, tell me the truth... he didn't confuse "transgendered" with "transcended".

To give him due, he didn't confuse them-just misspoke and corrected himself within 1/4 of a second

Okay... I hadn't heard the actual clip. I mean, I know that radio personalities as a group have among the lowest I.Q's of all non-manual labour professions, but that would have really been one for the record books.

Jim's alter ego...

I'm well aware he misspoke. However why should he get credit for that? Do you hear how many times he "misspeaks" in any given hour?

Aard's Shark? Oird's Shark? Yards Shark? LOL

 

[tbcwpg]

I disagree. More people will tune in to hear their frustrations vented for them than to simply hear GJG

I think people on here are frustrated with different things than most 1290 listeners. If they did it, it wouldn't be about how Maurice is ruining the roster and the top 6 don't back check.

No matter how much I agree with something, I'm tuning out a negative only show in minutes. Just my personal opinion.

Negative only, everybody is tuning out. Positive only is getting tuned out too. How about some balance? Some knowledge? Some insight? Some thought?

 

[SensibleGuy]

Yeah I never said “negative.” I just mean a show that takes a hard look at the aspects of the team that may be a concern and doesn’t just white wash them with a blanket “but hey the team is winning games and thats what matters.” And hell, if people don’t tune in so what? Its what, an hour? Are people really tuning in for 12 hours of the videogame show every weekend?

 

[GaryPoppins]

There's a difference between being negative and telling the truth. Truth isn't always positive, but gotta report as is and the homerism by Toth and Munz is brutal

I would love a show with the features you describe. It’s too bad the IC weren’t a bit edgier.

Already covered that earlier. I said it's too far positive right now but the solution isn't a radio version of the tank thread either.

Think what he actually said was “Tran-gendered“. Then immediately corrected it to transcended.

Oh well. Happens to the best of us!

 

[SensibleGuy]

oh boy Toth all by himself on the show so far this morning. Pretty dry and un-enthusiastic radio...

How tf does Bell allow someone on air who >>>> Has no clue about word usage, no clue about verb tense, has gawd awful grammar, terrible pronunciation, an extremely low IQ, is a liar (about his "inside contacts"), and yes schlllurs like a freakin little kid! I mean my gawd how easy is it to say CFL and not Sheeee FL.

Combine that with the rest of the total crap he brings to the table and you get a 100% complete waste of space and time.

 

[Steve1964]

Ryan Brandt is really pretty good imo. But Bell will allow Kevin O'idiot to take the chair back I'm quite sure. However next time someone on that friggen station says "festivities" I am looking for a rope.

 

[Steve1964]

Rick Ralph.. at about 2.20pm... Josh Morrissey was a THIRD round pick! Caller had to correct him.. WTF! Does anyone at 1290 have an IQ above a goldfish?

 

[JetsCameHome]

Listening to Rick Ralph lap up Kevin Donnelly for the upgrades to the arena and lowering beer prices was disgusting.

 

[Fairview]

It is nice without Westwood though.

 

[Jets 31]

It is nice without Westwood though.

What you don't love how he says "fun Friday everybody " .

 

[Fairview]

He would be a lot more likeable if he would just keep his mouth shut.

 

[SensibleGuy]

meh, I can take Westwood over Toth ftmp. At least Westwood actually makes sense once in awhile.

 

[SensibleGuy]

Bell Let's Talk day. Radio goes off.

He's the best talent they have, by a mile. Should probably host the morning show.

 

[LucianoBorsato]

I swear every time I tune into the morning show now (which isn't that often), they are interviewing Paul Edmonds and his cell phone signal is breaking up and Toth starts saying "Paul! Paul! You're breaking up!". Is he using a Motorola brick phone?

Actually, probably not such a bad thing if his signal is breaking up...
