1290 Radio, Part VIII

[SensibleGuy]

It's extremely unlikely that it's a fact.

yeah, although apparently Toth is on his own again tomorrow. Pretty unusual length of time for that...

 

[DRW204]

tomorrow fan line will sure be full of insight i bet given the buff news

 

[drumzan]

Is this fact, or are they just on vacation? I'm so out of the loop.

Rewucki and Westwood are on vacation. Media tends to take their vacations around the Jets breaks.

 

[SensibleGuy]

Toth - I don't want to speculate because I don't know...but here's a whole bunch of my speculating including made up conversations...Buff is 30 years old with 50-60 million in the bank.

haha.

yeah that's likely the case, but it's an unusually long vacation for them. Especially both at the same time. Generally they bring somebody in to have a second voice at least.

Yesterday listening to a caller , the caller said the Superbowl halftime show with Ja-Lo was promoting human trafficking . I spit my coffee out laughing , the only thing it promoted was the question where is the band creating all that music ? Oh right there isn't one .

Why does everything have to be a Vegas style show now? I was left wondering who the target audience was. Even had a bunch of teens at the party and they were very unimpressed (although that may always be the case)

The target audience is the people brought to the Super Bowl, Super Bowl parties, and everyone else who doesn't watch football. Football fans will tune into the Super Bowl regardless, non-football fans care about the performance.

Sure, but I didn't hear from any real people that liked it. Just the media, corporate influencers, celebrity twittersphere etc.

The reactions I've heard from friends and co-workers has all been positive. I can understand that it was divisive

agreed, i didn't like it but from non-football fans that i've talked to they seemed to enjoy it. the production and all that is extraordinary.... the music on the other hand

 

[SensibleGuy]

I'll take a couple sexy ladies prancing around in skimpy outfits for 15 minutes over a geriatric band playing 30 year old hits or some bro-country act any day...

I just can't come to terms with the idea of recorded music being presented as a live performance. If the big name is the worst part of the show and they aren't singing, why are they there? Watching Shakira and Jlo dance was painful.

I wish.

 

[SUX2BU]

The Big show ..... let's talk about cheeseburgers ......

 

[DRW204]

Caller: I don't think you can pay 4-6M for bottom 6 players

JT: i think you can, i think you can pay 3-4

 

[SensibleGuy]

Caller: I don't think you can pay 4-6M for bottom 6 players

JT: i think you can, i think you can pay 3-4

lol I love when Toth moves the goal posts in one sentence like that. Yes Jim, but 3-4 million is different from 4-6 million. Numbers mean specific things you see.

 

[DRW204]

just f***ing let this caller go guy is ridiculous

this Nick guy comes on and dropping bombs on JT and local media

 

[Al Camino]

just ****ing let this caller go guy is ridiculous

This caller was great! Toth of course moves the goal posts and basically says because local media aren't 'insiders' they are supposed to report on it.

 

[Al Camino]

Listened to the call in hour just to see what comedy I missed. And needless to say it didn't disappoint. I almost felt sorry for Toth when Al called in. But then I realized that 1290 pretty much created these clowns.

 

[Duke749]

JT: i think you can, i think you can pay 3-4

Ignorance is truly bliss apparently...

 

[DRW204]

really enjoy hearing Brandt

 

[PaulPooley]

I do find it a little odd or maybe a bit sad that TSN would let Toth just kinda twist in the wind for 4 hours alone on air every day.
Not really his forte.

Being on the radio is not really Toth's forte.
