Yeah, he told me he was going to be on there but I was in a meeting.

Good thing about The Dumb Zone is you can watch it whenever you want.

Yeah. I'll watch it later. But I wasn't going to miss any of his 15 minutes. Been one of my closest friends for 25 years.

how many shows do they put out per week?  and how long are the episodes?

Posted (edited)

Normal schedule is Mon, Tues, Thurs, Friday and a weekend wrap on Saturday. Eps are 2 - 2.5 hours. Sometimes there is a Business Wednesday interview with Dan and an actual business guy. I think 2 shows a week are subscriber only, the rest are free on YouTube. Also DZTV M-F on Ch 27. 

It is the Year of Dan.

It dawned on me listening to the E-brake winner that Gordo’s Chris Chris impersonation is largely based on making fun of Corby.

Is anyone else getting full screen pop up ads for stupid ass games that cut the audio until the stupid fuck ad is done on the app?  I've never gotten a pop up ad on the app in however long it's been around. For the last week it's probably a 50/50 proposition. 

Fix this shit, rich!

I didn’t know this was common knowledge. I just assumed he was parodying the average Dallas $50,000 millionaire.

was listening to some random shit on theunticket this morning and on a 2020 compilation there was a bit where julie played the character “plashley” (from when dan referred to p1 ashley as plashley).

I don’t have a problem with julie.  she never bothered me much.  but this bit… was, without a doubt, the worst bit that the ticket has ever put out over the air in 30+ years of existence.  and it will never, ever be topped.  I felt bad for her as I was listening to it.

Julie is "Press Box hot". She knows the innerworkings of radio, just doesn't have the voice talent. Her Orchard commercials on the Ticket were painful. Some people can't read a script without sounding like they. are. reading. a. script. Those people belong behind the scenes and from what it sounds like Julie is doing great at DZ Sales and Promotion.

there was a post on reddit recapping cat’s ama.  nothing groundbreaking but mildly interesting.

https://www.reddit.com/r/theticket/s/x29xCc03RK 

Spoiler

Cat's AMA

It was very entertaining and informative.

When he looks at ratings info, he can see the breakdown between AM, FM, and Streaming and that's across all streaming platforms.

He can also see how the ratings are in each county, each zip code.

He was surprised when Norm retired but had an idea it was coming. Almost all of the Cumulus employees in the building had lined the hall to congratulate Norm, gave him a hug, and wish him the best. Cat said he did choked up seeing that.   
  
He was shocked on how Mike retired. The show went into Holiday Dry Dock for 3 weeks & learned either 3 days into it or 3 days before coming back that Mike had retired. Had to call Corby to break the news. (When I heard that, I felt bad for Corby and others that Mike couldn't get up enough nerve to call people & let them know but oh well.)

He looks at a lot when it comes to replacing individual hosts on established shows or creating a brand new show such as The Sweet Spot. He said it wasn't easy to replace Mike because Mike had/has his strengths and weaknesses and Corby had to do a lot of heavy lifting the last few years with Mike. He chose Bob because he could help with some of the heavy lifting with regards to talking sports compared to the bits. (I think a lot of us learned that during Bob and Dan.) He said that chose Matt because he had worked part time at The Ticket, had his own show for a while and felt that Donnie & him are very similar but had differences of opinions where it didn't seem like they agree on everything.

He doesn't seek out some of the old employees of The Ticket because he was their boss, not their co-worker meaning they had a different relationship. Doesn't mean he won't talk to them.

He is aware of what is said on social media even this subreddit but he doesn't read it. He has people at the station that will make him aware of what is being said. He admitted that a while back he would read the comments on Facebook and Twitter and it became too negative for him so he stopped.

He thanked everyone in the room at the beginning of the AMA and at the end for coming out. Even got emotional. Made it clear if it wasn't for us, they wouldn't be here. Very proud of everyone at the station working hard to make the station that best that it is. The fact that the station is in the only station in Dallas radio history to win the Marconi for Major Market Radio Station of the year.

He was asked if there was anyone he'd like to headline Ticket Stock and he didn't say anyone specifically. He said they had been trying to Dirk for a while but he was either playing and taking time off because sometimes Ticket Stock would happen the weekend of the All Star game. Felt lucky to get him this year & this time with what happened with Luka. He'd love to get Jerry but the issue would be that the flagship station would be upset that The Ticket got him & they haven't been able to get him to do something like Ticket Stock.

He was asked about no more autograph signings. He said that a lot of athletes and such have exclusive deals with companies that they only sign stuff that they provide but he did say Dirk stayed & signed around 300 things last night.

Someone asked about Razor's show being on a 6:55 instead of in the 8 o'clock hour & explained that they meaning Musers & Razor decided that 6:55 would be best because it allowed Musers have more flexibility when bringing other guests for the day & Razor would be able to plan more of his day afterwards.

I think that's it. I'm sure there are other people in this subreddit that were there that could add to this. Queef!

Edit: For the person that requested that Reddit Care Resources reach out to me, thanks? Is there some reason YOU couldn't reach out to me?

I can’t take a guy like that seriously. 

Monty needs to sign up for the 600lb show in Houston.  He’s gotta be hitting 500 lbs.  he’s beyond SOTA.  He’ll be dead before you know it if he stays with that; he’s eating 8000 calories a day to maintain.

Looking at that pic, and not knowing anything about morbidly obese people, I would be surprised if he was only 500 pounds and in fact I think that would be a noticeable improvement. 

Well he does only have one leg though

What you see is a 3 hour AM drive time show that is just destroying. A clean sweep for the Ticket.

That is very impressive book right there.  The dominance just grows each month.

don’t forget that fewer people are  listening to terrestrial radio these days, and ticket listeners have become a bigger piece of the pie that still do.  so according to “share” the numbers are amazing and they obviously are doing very well but I highly doubt they have more total listeners than they did a decade ago.  so the dominance isn’t growing, people are just turning to sources of media other than FM radio.

Dear lord, does it get any less entertaining than sweet spot at spring training. And cringe factor of them chatting up a players gf.

You sure about that?  With streaming?  I’ve gotten some young bucks in my office obsessed with the ticket and all they do is stream. I agree with your general premise but Ticket listenership is pretty unique. I know they’re a bigger piece of a shrinking pie, but I’d be surprised if their numbers were not still increasing. 

Lmao. Their cume is probably around 60% of what it was ten years ago. Better than most though. 

Oh and streaming numbers are self-reported.
