I thought the shoopy stuff was funny back in the day, now it's just eye rolling. He really doesn't have that much to bring to the table.

I've tuned back into the Freak a little bit in the last couple of weeks, and overall the shows just aren't that entertaining.

Each to their own. I'd rather listen to Grubes utter literally anything in two seconds than hear Corby speak for a minute or longer. The former is a good dude and the latter is a total loser.

I've listened very little to the new station but when he was at the ticket he was great with drops but never gave me the impression that he'd be great cohost.

---

I thought everyone loved Grubes. I'm probably biased but is he even really a "co-host" on the Downbeat? Haven't listened enough yet but the little that I have he seems to be the same ol' Shoopy just chiming in here and there and fulfilling his role as the king of drops.

---

He's a producer, not a host.

---

He's not a producer. He's just a board-op. A real simpleton if you will. A common man and champion of the people..

Guy just wants to help the show when he can. Anybody can do his job but nobody can do it better. And I have it on full authority that he's having the time of his life.

*I hope Grubes reads this and mails me the entire bobblehead collection. If anything, I need the unicorn one.

He can't even fix a horse's bones.

He's just a likable guy that interacts with people and makes them feel good. Given all of the d-bags in DFW it's a nice role to fill.

Okay, I'll say it. Grubes comes from money so that's why he can just do whatever. He left the Ticket initially to go back to school and bailed out of that to become the music/drop guy for the rough riders and then the Stars. He was a great board Op, but what else does he really have? I'm not hating on him, but I don't get why so many people think he has any creative or poignant things to say.

Exactly, I mean…

Your entire post says otherwise. So the guy has successful parents with money and to you that's why "he can just do whatever"? This is a ridiculous take.

You don't run PA for the Stars and Rangers without some level of talent. Sure, family connections can get you a start in life but then you've got to build your own journey which is exactly what he's done. And if there has ever been a better board-op in radio history I'd love to hear of them.

As I said previously, maybe I'm biased because I've been friends with the dude for 15 years, but in the end you don't have to be poignant every minute on air to bring something to the table. And as for being creative, c'mon. The timeliness of his drops is the definition of creativity.

Each to their own on this but I just think that your opinion sucks.

He meant he can do whatever, as in take low paying board op jobs and the stars/rangers jobs, because he comes from money. Most people can't do that after a while and would go to school or find another job, like he started to do before deciding against it, because they actually have to make a living.

He's a good board op. But the board ops after he left the ticket have shown that a lot of people can be good Board ops.

Already mentioned his heart attacks and its possible ( probable) it was caused by the Vax and boosters.

Not years of coke abuse and a sh/tty diet?

This is an incredible conversation.

As a Day 1 P1, I have to say, I've really enjoyed listening this afternoon ... I've only tuned in to the Freak for maybe 10 minutes since they launched, but this is some much-needed nostalgia for me. Really glad to hear how healthy and well-adjusted Greggo seems right now. For quite a while, it seemed like that guy was never coming back ...

With no boobies!

I'm admittedly already a freak listener most of the time because of my personal connection with Ben and skin, but as a former hardline P1 back as far as my Jr High days, today has been amazing

This has been so great. Greggo talking about sneaking into two Super Bowls and then backtracking to say he had credentials and just tossed his bag around the scanner. Then saying he also had a credential for the '89 Super Bowl but snuck onto the field is vintage Hammer.

The Hammer apparently has a holiday season job playing Yukon Cornelius
