The new morning show isn't bad, but the afternoon is weird. And ending at 6PM is dumb. Its like they are forcing you to switch back to the ticket if you listen while commuting.

Giving the 1-3 slot a time because the new ticket show during that time sucks.

Danny actually fits in with them really well, much better than with just Sirois and Rhynes. I've been surprised.

Also surprised with how well Cavanaugh complements and basically runs the show with Rhynes and Julie.

I am missing Grubes on Ben and Skin.

Skin doesn't do it for me, tries way too hard to be funny/weird and everytime I tune in its basketball talk. But liking the morning and afternoon shows a lot.

What app is best to stream? I always have issues with iheart, is that the only one?

I use the iheart app, no issues there. Wish they had a rewind feature like the DFW Sportsday app has for the ticket.

What's up with the DB Cooper ad that plays around this time? It's pretty lengthy and makes me think I've switched to a different station.

Really liking the morning show and how they put the segments on Spotify around noon. I can listen to the gentle musers and then shortly after or later on the drive home check out the segments from the downbeat.

All hosts in studio at the start of the broadcast day, different game shows planned throughout the day. Winner of each game gets to go home. Last one standing has to do an hour of radio by themselves.

He was filling in for Cavanaugh Monday-Wednesday this week... also gave me a chance to catch up on podcasts.

My two favorite shows are the Downbeat and podcasts of Gordo's 8:40 bits.

had a show on the eagle around the time they stopped doing howard stern in late 90s

I mean, there are some things The Freak is absolutely doing better than The Ticket, just isn't swaying people

I'd put the Downbeat at worst at par with The Musers. The Muser Schlick has tamed and gotten stale while Danny has really found his groove with Sirois and Kevin.

Ben and Skin's Mavs content is the best in the market, and their music stuff is up there.

And outside of Sturmcenter or College Sports talk primarily during football season, I have no use for Hardline5.0. Cavanaugh is better at Cowboys talk, Rhynes going deep into old Dallas stories or Music is great, and Julie adds a good balance to their buffoonery. And Grubes is still Grubes

I like The Fan. Chemistry is getting really solid. Sports talk is very solid. Wish anyone in DFW could figure out college sports talk. The Ticket is awful at college football, they know next to nothing other than Bob but they have great guests in Klatt and Jones.

It's one thing to be biased due to friendship with a couple of guys on the freak, but it isn't getting ratings because it isn't good. It's not like they haven't had advertising or enough media coverage.

B&S are terrible. Just not entertaining.

I still really enjoy the Freak. The Downbeat is great. B&S are still B&S and make me laught and I enjoy them. The Speakeasy is a fantastic closing show. I just enjoy the whole vibe.

I only listen to Rhynes, Matt and Julie in the late afternoon. Everything else sucks. I've always hated Ben and Skin. They always try to be funny and they're not!

I listen to the Freak's morning show when there are Muser's segments I don't care to listen to or when they're on vacation or commercials... cannot put my finger on it, but there is something off w/ Freak's audio.

Too quiet (maybe the room they broadcast from has too much sound deadening material?)... when they talk among themselves it is like none are in the same room or all are broadcasting remotely... no "warmth" to the audio.

Anyway, the show after the Speakeasy in early evening... seems like it is forced... they don't seem to have any chemistry.

Probably need to listen more... give it more of a chance.
