  1. I just don't get the mental gymnastics it would take to convince yourself this is some insignificant bump in the road for the station, especially given the way they reconstructed 10-3.  Maybe I'm wrong and it won't play out in the ratings at all.  But that won't be because the product didn't suffer.  12-3 now is absolute trash by comparison, and I hated the Invasion well before Norm left.

    So, I'm bored and read the complaint and the employment agreements a bit more carefully.  I'm starting to lean more to 4d chess by dan and jake than dumb zone. 

    I don't know about the IP stuff...who owned the twitters and the website and the logo...but that seems to be fairly insignificant in this case.  And they can fuck off with the disparagement.  There are hours and hours of every single host on the station disparaging cumulus.

    I was focusing more on the non-compete's.  I think Dan has a strong case to be in the clear.  In his agreement, he is not allowed to provide services to a competing business.  A competing business is any business that offers essentially the same as the Company  Business.  The company business is defined in his contract as commercial radio stations.  There are other sections in the contract that also touch on working for another company.....but Dan didn't even set up an LLC.  Not saying it's a slam dunk, but I think cumulus is in a bind with him...at least as it goes on the non-compete.  It was just written poorly.

    Jake's is different.  It specifically talks about podcasting and states that is a competing business.  However, jake exercised an early termination to his contract in December of 2022.  He has been an at will employee since then.  Yeah, the terms of his contract will apply, but enforcing a non-compete on an at-will employee is not the easiest thing in the world.

    I also think this has been in the works for a while.  Jake didn't exercise his right to end the contract early just for kicks.  And there were several business tuesdays where they talked about non-compete agreements.

    Still no clue how it shakes out and there are a lot more words in the contracts, but I don't think this was just a seat of the pants decision by either of them.

     

    C'mon bro. Let the station fanbois cook.

    I've been.  The food was great but the atmosphere needed some serious work. It was quiet, no music that I can remember, and you could hear the tvs at the bar.  Weird.  But the chili gravy was money as always.  

    Went back to Matt's in Allen last Friday. Completely opposite experience on all fronts. Hope it was an off night.

     It's a decent show and they had a real opportunity to grab share.  Same can't be said for Mike's new show. 

    I think it can, if only because Sean and Mino are so damn boring.  It's just not a good show. And the Freak is running Mike out there at 2pm now so there are going to be some people listening to that over the Ticket from 2-3, which will eventually affect the HL's numbers (however insignificantly, who knows).  I don't understand why they didn't put Sean and Mino on from 10-noon so the Musers could carry them and put the Invasion on as a lead-in to the HL.

    if sean bass can sustain #1 ratings I'll eat crow and bow down to the power of the ticket and the p1.  but I just don't see this continuing.

    Nope.

    Dude fuckin sucks on mavs broadcasts too, total third wheel / unnecessary Tommy try hard. 

    You know what?  I'll give you that over the last couple of years he's become the goofy "entertainment." Maybe covid adjustments, maybe cancer? He's better than Harper, but he would never say that. 

    Do you watch his post-game work? 

  6. I'm Mavs first so I'm a Ben & Skin fan, because of Skin obviously. He's the best in town for that and could work color on national broadcasts if those jobs went to anyone but ex players and coaches. Fight me. 

    Ben's music is awesome though. Shits on anything anyone at the Ticket has ever done. See above about fighting.

    He’s really bad. Reminds me a bit of a blend of Jake and BD Hunter with a heavy lean toward the latter. He claims he was abducted by an alien. No fucking way. His only redeeemable quality is he was infinitely better than JJT, but the same would go for you or even Hermanator. 

    I'll 100% give you that he might have been looking like a diamond next to cocky sniffin' ass JJT.
