Yeah, Mike isn't built to carry a new station from launch...I think his energy and gusto wanes after a couple months.

Sirios is greatness and I really wish he could be paired with someone in their prime (ideally at the Ticket) and this dilution of DFW radio talent didn't exist.

Agreed. Wonder how many conversations Sirois has had with Donny Doo Doo

Going to be different. Sports but wide-ranging topics. Going to be fun to listen to it develop

Just confirmed this isn't going to be a sports station. Sirois just said "This isn't a sports station, this is a fun station. We might talk sports, we might not."

Rhyner said, "We have freedom to talk about whatever we want without fear of retribution from a program director."

"We won't talk about the Cowboys in the middle of summer just because we have to"

Yeah... not exactly

Sirois wanted to call the show "The Doublecross" which is pretty hardcore

Sirois still has the edge that the little ole ticket used to have.

After the statements Mike has made so far, it sounds like the mgmt at the ticket treated them with a pretty heavy hand.

I'll just say it's easy to say you won't talk Cowboys during the summer until the ratings suffer and you find that, love it or hate it, Cowboys bring the ratings.

Which when ratings start falling is also when Management starts chiming in.

I wanted to like this, but man...it's pretty spare.

I feel like it's a weekend show, during vacation week.

Might try it again a few weeks once they've hit their stride.

This cross talk segment is pretty solid

I tried it for a while but I've already checked out and went back to the little ticket. Will try it another day

Yeah, it's like they made a run sheet that had 2 minutes of content for each segment and then they run out of stuff to talk about and adlib for 10 minutes.

I agree - I'll give them a few weeks to hit their stride and iron things out. But the show intros have been pretty spare so far.

And The Ticket is playing this well having all The Musers on The Hardline right now. I've switched back. I'll for sure keep checking in over the next weeks though.

Edit: also the iHeart app sucks

I will say this: Mike Rhyner sounds like he has 20 times more energy and enthusiasm. He was just going through the motions the last 10 years on the Ticket, but he's invigorated with the Freak.

They were joking about how they didn't know their own station's number. I didn't think it was a shot really

I thought it was interesting that Sturm liked this tweet.

Am I the only one conflicted that the beloved “Godfather of The Ticket” — the one-of-a-kind sports talk station that Mike built on listeners’ unswerving devotion — has signed up to conquer the station that has brought us so much joy these last 28 years?https://t.co/PIjAQaPums

Have they mentioned Grubes yet? I had to cut out for a while so maybe I missed it, but I was thinking the surprise would be the great Grubes.

I thought Shoopy would only be a "start-up" guy during Rangers offseason, but it sounds like he's left the Rangers gig and is indeed full time board op for Ben & Skin plus board op/producer for The Downbeat.
